Jared Smith is having trouble with
his laborers just as every one else has,
and yet billet in the experiment sta
ton ought to be one worth having. The
location of the station is just too far
out of town to make it desirable for
the Jap who wants city amusements,
and the country Jap prefers a planta-
ton where there are many labo'ars in
stead of a few.

The first automobile experiment has
not proved a success, though as long as
the machines were working they were
we'll patronized. However any new en-

out. 1t took us a long time to make
sugar properly, and it will doubtless
take some time to run automobiles sue
cessfully. Wireless telegraphy, which
is working now, did not prove a sue

This lot of Porto Ricans seem to have

vigorously carried out they will be-

Buying a Wagon.

1t seems easy enough to buy a
wagon. And it is, if you are not
particular. But when you stop to
think how long this new member of
the family is expected to remain on
the premises and what you can rea-
sonably expect of this daily helper
about the farm, it is we'll to give
some thought to the choice. If the
hired man don't suit you, you a
discharge him. If the horse gets
balky, you can trade him off or sell
him. But you can't discharge a bad
wagon and no one will take it off
your hands in trade.
The Florence Wagon Works, of
Florence, Alabama, have made
wagons that are ''stayers" for more
year, than you have been farming.
The know that they have the best
all round wagon 1Or farm use that
a be had for money and they
want you to know it. 1t any reader
of this paper is not familiar with the
Florence he is invited to get acquain-
ted by sending his name to the peo-
pie who make it, ~whereupon he will
receive an attractive catalogue, a
copy of "The Vaughn Tongue" and
a business proposition that will show
him how to get a dandy wagon and
save some money while doing it.

j. only necessary in the case of old
trees that have been badly neglected.
Indeed trees that neel cutting back
as severely as this in most cases had
probably better be dug up by the
roots and used for fre-woOd.
One other precaution il Is neces-
sary TO carefully observe. Every
twig and pruning that is out off
should be burned. The utmosG oare
should be taken that none r left
upon the ground, as every such twig
is a ne center of infection.
OF course, the owner. of a pear
grove who will take the trouble to
thus prune and care for his grove
will not forget to feed it also. A
heavy crop of fruit, TO say nothing
of the growth of the tree, tends to
exhaust the soil, a contamination
devOutly not 80 be wished and
which every wise fruit grower
specially guards against. In most
fertilizer whatever nitrogen is needed
Can be obtained from an annual crop
of cow peas turned under late in the
fall. This with an application of
say 100 pounds of muriate of potash
per acre, and three times this of
superphosphate will pay abuudantly
in the increased amount and excel
lence of the fruit.

EGGS FOB WINTER.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The subject of making the hens
Law in the fall and winter when eggs
are high will, I suppose, never be ex-
hausted, and although each cOntri-
button on the question adds only a
very little additi nal knowledge, we
must be content with it. The sum
of all these little grains of knowledge
make up our experience, and prove
to US in the aggregate stepping
stones to success. We cannot spare
any pains in making the quarters of
the hens absolutely clean and whole
some. With plenty of whitewash
and lime we should be able to do
this without any great tax upon Our
time and patience. That, Ioonsider,
the first essential step in increasing
the egg supply. Lice in the nests
will make hens restless, and they
will hate to lay. They then get out
of the habit of laying. There is a
good deal in habit, even in the lay
ing hens. If a hen feels it her duty
to lay an egg every day she will go
to the nest and prove her good inten-
tions. Feed such a hen food, and
she will prove a wonder in her way.
Let all the grains be ground for
the laying hens, and mix with them
a certain amount of small mica grits.
| believe from my experience that
these two steps are important. In
the first place, we need mixed grain
diet for laying hens, and not a diet
of a single grain. If ground the
grains can mix much better, and the
results are therefore more satisfac-
tory. Even when hens can find grits
and small stones on the range, it Ia
better to provide them with the
ground grains. They seem to eat
more then, and their food is better
digested. / still firmly advocate
pounded clam or oyster shells, and
ground green bones. Some empha-
size these too much, and expect they
will revolutioDize the industry.
They will not do it, but a very per-
ceptibie improvement can be noted,
which is sufficient to encourage the
practice. Let the feeding be regular
and varied in it's composition, and
the hens will thrive the better for it.
Through the winter every attempt
to add some variety or novelty to the
food of the hens will be appreciated
Frequently some new food can be
picked up cheap at the factories
which will prove palatable to the
chickens. This should be given in
sparing quantities to relieve the
monotony of the ordinary food, and
never as a steady diet in place of
grain and standard foods.

THE VALUE OF HOTHoUsEs.

Correspondence of T Progressive Farmer.
So great is the use and Importance
of inexpensive lighthouses and cold
frames in starting early vegeta bles
that no one should be without one or
more Crops oar be protected in
these until very late IN the fall, and
semi hardy plants can be kept in per
feet condition all winter long.
Where one raises vegetables for
early market hothouses are, of
course, absolute necessities, but
even the ordinary farmer needs them
for his early drops whether he is en-
gagged in the market gardening bust
ness or not. Tomatoes, lettuce, seed
onions and scores of other vegetables
can be started under glass months
before it is possible TO plant them
outside.
The dollhouse should always be
built on the sunny, sheltered side of
a hill or building or grove of trees.
A very slight protection suoh as
these makes a difference of several
degrees in cold weather, especially
when the wind is violent. If there
is no such sheltered place a wind
break should be constructed on the
north and west side of the spot. This
can be built by driving posts in the
ground, leaving the tops five or six
feet above the surface. Any loose
boards, piokets or sticks from the
woods nailed orosswise on these
posts, and thick brush and twigs at
tached to them hold in position
packing material like straw, corn
stalks or even leaves, will furnish Il
perfect ~windbreak, and keep the hot.
house or cold frames sheltered all
winter.
The dollhouse itself should be built
with solid timber that will last.
Posts eight inches in diameter should
be set for the foundation wallis.
They should run up as high as the
walls. Old lumber can be utilized
for boarding up outside and inside,
leaving a space between the two
walls for packing material. This
space should be packed late in au-
tunn with good horse manure. The
excavation for the floor of the hot
house should be deep enough TO per-
NIT plenty of packing material.
There should first be a foot of good
warm manure, and over this three or
more inches of rich soil for seed bed.
The roof of the dollhouse should be
built with the greatest care. Double
sashes are better than single, for
then the house is proof against all
weather. The edges and sides should
be carefully constructed of matched
lumber so that water will be shed.
In addition TO the glass sash door
there should be a covering of heavy
unDleaohed muslin. This should
work up and down on a roller so
that il can be unrolled and rolled up
according to the weather. On very
cold days and nights this covering
will greatly add TO the protection.
In addition TO this a heavy canvas
covering, or an old sail cloth, thrown
over the whole structure in times of
heavy storms will make the hothouse
practically proof against the coolest
weather. Without any further heat
than what the manure supplies the
most delicate of seeds and plants
will thrive there in midwinter.
