Home Mixing of FERTILIZERS.


have no doubt that there Is q good
field for intelligent farmers to make
good profit in mixing fertilizers at
home. but there are certain things
that should be borne in mind. First.
the raw materials which the farmer
purchases are just as liable to be of
poor quality as are the mixed goods
which he buys. No farmer can distin-

not distinguish between the sample of
genuine muriate OF potash and one
which is adulterated with seventy five
per cent. of common salt. He could
not tell sample of tankagc contain
ing ten per cent. ammonia from one
containing five per cent, and so on
with the other ingredients.
One sample Of tankage which we
examined was sold under a claim OF
twenty-five per cent. phosphoric acid
and seven per cent. ammonia, which
actually contained seven and q quar-
ter per cent. phosphoric acid and six
per cent. ammonia. 1t will therefore

Successful as Q Caterer.

A Chicago woman has adopted nov
ell form of catering as business. Her
speciality lies in using what the hostess
has at hand, which gives an air of in
dividuality that no hired service Of
china and plate can secure. The cut
glass, silver and artistic odds and ends
of china are placed to the best advan-
\1ge, original modes of decoration are
devised and a dainty menu arranged.
She never encourages more than eight
courses, and the hostesses who have
profted by her services say that her
dinners are invariably successful.
In addition to the dining room this
energetic young woman LOOKS after the
reception and dressing rooms. In the
former she rearranges the bric-a-brac
and furniture. having superfuous
chairs removed or others added when
needed. In the latter she sees that
pins and hairpins are plentiful In their

Government by Public Opinion"
was the subject Of a recent ADDRESS by
President Hadley, Of Yale. He main
tanned that the controlling force in
government is public opinion. But
he does not hold that public opinion
always gets clear manifestation in
political party action. This is the rea-
son why laws that get place in tho
statute book often are impotent to
effect the ends sought. Public opinion,
In fact. does not support them. and is
better content that they should be DOR
mant than that they should be active.
The controlling forces of public senti-
ment in the Interpretation and en-
forcement of laws Is phenomenon
constantly in sight. Wise statesman
vhip takes due account of 1t. The
moral, of course, is that the main
thing to be attended to by those who
would renovate existing conditions is
to educate the minds and consciences
Of the people.

The Vermont Station gives a de-
scription, with illustration, of a frame
storage house in which low tempera-
ture and ventilation are provided by
throwing open doors and windows dur
ing cool spells In the fall and keeping
them closed at other times. The house
is thirty by fifty feet and has two
stories and basement. The basement
and first floor are used for storing
fruit and hold 1000 barrels each. The
second floor is for empty barrels. etc.
The building has double walls and
double windows. An oil stove gives
heat enough to keep the fruit from
freezing in winter. The lumber used
in the construction of this house was
as follows:
Three thousand five hundred feet
wall boarding. 5000 feet roof boarding,
$500 feet ceiling dnside), 1900 feet
floor boards double foors) 1000 feet
clap boards, twenty-five bundles lath.

Searching as they are in all direc-
tions for light on England's failure to
keep the lead In the industrial process
sion, the London papers are making
every now and then discoveries that
are not less surprising to outsiders
than painful to themselves. One Of the
most curious of these revelations Is
that of q London Mail investigator,
who started out to ascertain why al
most all the typewriters on sale in the
English market are Of foreign make
of American make, to be explicit. The
explanation he secured was that the
British workman simply could not con-
struct a good typewriter. A man IA
miliar with the business is quoted as
saying that some years ago an Ameri-
can firm making one of the standard
machines endeaYored to introduce the
typewriter industry into England.
Premises were opened at Coventry. and
thousands of pounds were spent in en-
deavoring to produce satisfactory
machine, but in spite Of the fact that
the best American tools and materials
were used 1t was found. after several
years work. that 1t was impossible 70

A CHUTE FOR LOADING HOGS.

Of 4-insh fencing spiked to frame
Of 2x4 inches, with ost of Aka inch
stuff. To add to the solidity. of the af-
fair, the 2x4 and AKA should be bolted

plank or rough lumber of any kind. 1t
Is necessary to nail cleats upon the
floor to prevent the hogs from slipping.
One end of the chute rests ON the
ground, while the other is on a level
with the wagon bed floor. This chute
should be made OF as light material
as stability will allow, for it is often
convenient to change its location. The
rest of the arrangement is two Sec
tons Of slat fencing, to be used as
wings. On end Of each section is
fastened to a side of the chute and un-
rolled. When set up the two wings
will make large v, of which the
point is the chute. The hogs can be
easily driven inside the v; then the
two ends of the Stating can be
brought together. Tie hogs will thus
be confined in small pen to be loaded

Good Breeding Depends on Care.

In order to be successful in breeding
stock one Of the most important re-
luirements is care Without care, and
lots of it, good blood or good feeding
will soon lose nearly all of their value,
and the stock will gradually but sure
" decline. The value of care is shown
by the breeder who makes 1t :: point
to see that not even one Of his animals
acks the proper food. or water. or
shelter, or good blood. Such breed
er is the one whose animals increase
In value with each new generation.
What better proof could be wanted
that the stock pay well for any care or
attention bestowed upon them?

form of charity, are severely scored by

Tho Springs Chickens.

I do not approve the old fashioned
way of letting all the poultry run to-
rether. as the small and weak ones
do not have a chance to their feed at
feeding time. AS they grow older
the young cockerels become nuisance
and should be sorted out from the pull
let's, In punches of fifty or more. Coops
made of old lumber. covering the roofs.
sides and back with tarred felt, make
good houses. They need no floor and
If made with light lumber can easily
be moved and cleaned.
Wheat is the best food for growing
pullets. If the range is large and
good the morning meal can be dis
pensed with after the chicks are three
months old. But give them all they
will eat at night. A chicken to grow
rapidly should be only in medium flesh.
Do not let them get too poor or too fat.
Keep the roost clean and sweet and the
chicks free from lice. Build bones
and muscle first, and then when they
are brought to winter quarters, In Oc-
tober, the feeding for eggs will be In
order. A good mash is made OF bran,
middlings and ground corn. With this
mix a quart of cut clover or cut clover
hay, and a pint of ground meat. Use
ground bone every other day. Cooked
vegetables can be added to this mash
several times q week. Scaid 1t with
hot milk, or water and feed 1t morn
ing and noon. Feed whole wheat at
night. 1t should be fed In troughs
which should be washed every day.
Feed only what they will eat up clean.
Do not forget the necessary exercise.
To keep them healthy give proper
exercise and lots of 1t. Bury miiiet
seed in litter and let them work for 1t.
Give fresh, clean water every day, and
keep the drinking vessel in a cool,
shady place.-Otto Irwin, In The

The Poultry House.

While we want a poultry house so
well built that water will not freeze
in it by day or night, we do not be
lieve in having it heated artificially.
If it is kept too warm the fowl will
not endure the cold when it is out OF
doors. We have known some to sue
coed with hens. keeping them confined
to the house all winter. but it requires
much care to keep the house clean. and
we think that an outing every day
when it is not actually freezing, keeps
them in better health, and they lay
quite as well, for we seldom failed to
have about half the flock laying dur.
