! CROPS FOR POULTRY
and Il viii BE q Good Invest-
! :--t Gff% ment to Do 1t. = = <]&

Where poultry is raised in large num-
bers on the so-called poultry farms it
will pay we'll to put in special crops to
supply the required green food. Plen-.
ty OF greens are essential in late fall
and during winter, if best egg results
are to be attained. There are num-
Der of things that are suitable to plant
for the purpose. If there is a field
that the fowls can have access to dur
ing winter--that is, if it is located
near enough to their notwithstanding
son clover planted about the middle
of August will make a splendid Win
ter pasture and will supply required
nitrogen for egg-making to form a
balanced ration with other food given.
The clover can be turned under early
in May or before with great benefit to
the land, so the crop. can be made to
serve double purpose. Rye can be
used in the same way, but it is not con-
sidered as valuable for either purpose
as the crimson clover. Of the root
crops mangles are excellent, as they
can be used for green's and may also be

regular morning meal. Turnips and
rutabagas, are also good poultry
crops, If: tho: turnips are planted
near the henhouse it is good plan to
leave. some of the :turnips in the
ground. The hens will take great de.
light on favorable winter days in pick
ing at them, and the exercise will do
them. good. Farmers who do much
truck. gardening have considerable
waste that is not marketable that
could be used in the poultry yard with
much profit. Poultry that are sup
piled during winter with an allow
ance of bulky green food do much
better than when the diet is mainly
grain. In fact, the aim should always
be at all seasons to provide the. flock
each day with bulky food of some
kind. Close observation will show
that hens confined to limited space
are always eager for bulky food. They
will eat dry shattered clover tops and
sometimes dry grass ravenouslr. There
is plenty of time to put in poultry
crops, and it will be good investment
to do it.-Baltimore Sun.

.BUZZ1NGS FROM BEEDoM.


The young and unsealed brood
should always occupy the centefof the
brood nest.
The best time to improve the bees
by selecting and breeding is early in
the season. -: :;
It is unwise to draw from moderate
ly strong stocks: too early in the: sea-
son to strengthen weak Ones =
In spreading brood combs and in
sorting empty combs, care must be
taken not to spread too rapidly: -,
In order to obtain the greatest
amount of honey swarming or increase
must be controlled to some extent.
The principal objection to clipping
the wings of the queen to prevent
swarming is the liability of losing the
queen.
Bees must have plenty Of water con-
venient. In the spring if a little salt
is added all the better. A salt barrel
with water in it will do.
So far as can be done it will be found
very desirable to keep each variety
of honey separate when it is stored
throughout the season.-NationalR u-

Peafowls Around the Farm.

Peafowls are not only ornamental
but excellent for the table, They are
slow in reaching maturity, and the hen
seldom lays before she is two years
old. The chicks, however, grow very
rapidly at first, but as they begin to
feather almost at the. start of life
they require frequent feeding or they
will perish They soon begin to fly,
and roost on the highest positions
they can find. The hen lays from ten
to sixteen eggs, according to age and
treatment. The young chicks should
oe fed the same as young turkeys, but
meat, finely chopped, should be given
three times q week after the first
week. The male is d quarrelsome bird
in the barnyard,,' and often makes
short work of young chicks: They
are more ornamental than profitable,
though the tail feathers may be pulled
for sale, as soon as the moulting season
begins.--Mirror and Farmer.

WHAT, WOMEN, LIKE IN MEN.
Chief Graces Are to Re Attentive and

The casual everyday accomplish.
ments of man have much to do
with women's liking; and first of all
comes savior faire, says a writer in
the Cosmopolitan. He. may or NAV
not be what is rather vul garly de.
scribed as "a society man." yet he
must understand and be q familiar
with the myriad little usages that
form society's unwritten law To be
at ease in any set, to-: be equal to
emergencies, to carry off an awkward
situation with urbanity and perfect
sself-possession-this faculty wins; nh.
lstinted admiration from a woman.
And then there are the things that
go with this knowledge of the prop
er thing to do, the little courtesies,
the delicate, and tactful attentions
that mean anything and nothing, the
ability to order dinner properly, to
make things go off smoothly; to car
.ry out a plan without a blunder or "a
jar, the carriage ready at the proper
moment, the flowers specially ar.
ranged, the right seats at the the:
Iater. every thing foreseen, every pos.
isible occurrence provided for, every
want anticipated, every contretemps
avoided. "a s. Y: Is 81. = =e& 2

The Color of >Ese Shells.

There is no uniformity in the colors
of the eggs. The breeds that lay brown
eggs do not produce them always Of
dark color. Even two sisters will
vary the color of their eggs. The tend.
ency is to lay eggs that are white. 1t
is an~old expression that ''all n6n-sit-
tiers lay white eggs" It is also claimed
that, the greater the tendency of the
hen to set, the darker the color of her
eggs. When it is reported that a
Leghorn produces eggs u that have
brown shells it may be claimed as a
freak, or something unusual, though
it is not an impossibility, and where
such cases arise they are exceptions;
but outside of the non-sitters the
eggs from hens of nearly all breeds
will vary greatly in color-Farm and

other ways. Cow cookie has spread
with alarming rapidity throughout the
northwest, becoming one of the worst
weeds of that section. 1t is widely
disseminated in the fall by the tops of
the plants being blown about by the
wind like tumbleweeds.
This is poisonous to some extent,
but just how virulent the poison in it
is has not yet been determined. An
extract of the seed fed to a rabbit
caused severe sickness. A little of
the same solution injected into anoth-
er rabbit under the skin resulted in
death in a few hours. This plant
should not therefore be eaten by stock,
nor should it's seeds be permitted to
remain in wheat that is to be ,nilled
fer hour.-Farmers' Review.

Growing. Of Sugar Reefs.

5 One of the hardest things about the
growing Of sugar beets is to get uni
form stand. It is evident that if there
are, spaces in the field not covered by
the beets the losses will be consider
able. The irregularity comes often
from poor preparation Of the landa and
also from putting in the seed too deep
30 that it does not germinate at all, or
IIif it does germinate it does so at Pc
/riod 50 far anterior to the other. beets
that the new plants have little. encour-
segment to develop. Lack ofmoisture

much of this unevenness. in stand.

is difficult of access, as they occupy a
deep ravine in the Sierra MadreN del
|Norte range, in the state of Jalisco.
They are hemmed in by huge mountain
walls 5000 to 10000 feet in height.
Here they have been able to defy all
invasion from the outside world and
have expelled the missionaries who
came to teach them. No churches or
priests are allowed in their country,
and they are living in the same grade
of culture as when Cortez first put foot
on Mexican soil.
Having preserved their ancient Gus.
toms and beliefs unaffected by white
contact, they are more than ordinarily
interesting to ethnologists. For. the
first time their products have now
been brought to civilization and their
mythology reported on.
The Huichol number about 1000.
They dress in garments of their own
manufacture, decorated with elabor-
ate and artistic designs. The most in.
teresting industry of the people is
weaving. The women make belts,
The ribbons and sashes are ornament
ed with odd and beautiful figures, all
of which have a symbolic meaning.
DR.. Lumholtz' collections among. this
tribe not only cover the whole range Of
their industries, but illustrate in q
most exhaus tive manner the beliefs
and ceremonials Of the people.
Their country is comparatively arid
and their food supply depends largely
upon the regularity of the rainfall.
For this reason most of their cere.
monies are intended to propitiate the
gods of rain, and all the objects they
use in their ceremonial worship are
covered with symbols indicating rain.
Most of their gods have control over
clouds and rain. In each village there
is a large temple around which stand
q number of small houses sacred to
various deities. In these are deposited
the offerings made by the people, says
the New York Herald.
Woven shields are sacrificed for good
luck. These bear designs of the sym.
bols of the deity to whom they are Of.
fered. On; others are shown the ami.
mails sacred to the deity and pictorial
representation of the object of the
prayer. A man who prays for the
health of his wife will make an offer.
ing on which the figure of woman il
represented weaving or painting.
When he prays for the welfare of his
herds figures of cattle or sheep are
represented on his offering, while a
woman who prays for skill in any kind
of handiwork sacrifices sample of it.
A symbol Of prayer IL attached to
an arrow. The arrow is frequently
stuck into the thatched roof of the
temple, and is supposed;'to take a
course toward the deity, carrying the
wishes Of the supplicant: In the tenn
pies are also found chairs in which
the god is supposed to sit. Symbols
of prayers are often attached to the
seats, where they will at once attract
the attention of the deity. .-.s....

ROOM AT TIE TOP.
Tho Man Who Is Determined to Win
Will Succeed in Spite Of All
Obstacles.

The old school maxims ''There is al
ways room at the top" No excellence
without great labor" etc., ETC., are as
true in after life work as they are for
the youngster who is just launching
out to try his hand at conquering the
world. They may be old and common
place, but if there ever has been any
truth in them it is still there. The
great trouble with most people after
they have passed a certain age or have
had a certain amount of experience
they begin to formulate maxims and
ideas of their own, and those which
were good in their earlier life are dis
carded.
Even in the most humble and obscure
work we find one man advancing more
rapidly than another. Among hewers
of wood and drawers of water we find
leaders, those who take an honest
pride in their work and by their own
efforts advance themselves beyond
those who toll with them. Careful
study and an absorbing interest will
show an improvement in the live stock
and crops of the farm. The man who
desires to be the best feeder, breeder
or farmer in his .neighborhOod will
find an inspiration in his work that
those who do not care to improve will
never know. There is room at the top
for the man who wants to get there in
any line of business. If the bottom is
satisfactory to a man he will be likely
to be found there. If some men would
cultivate little more ambition and
fewer weeds they would be much bet
ter off. mot failure but low aim is
:rime," is an adage that we all might
keep in our minds to decided advan-
tage.-National Stockman.
