For Winter Eggs.

1t is not an easy matter for one not
having had some years of experience in
poultry raising to feed the laying hens
during the winter probably. Corn cuts
too large figure in the winter food Of
poultry. 1t is valuable food beyond all
question, but 1t is fed too literally when
eggs are wanted. An almost perfect
food for laying hens is clover hay, but
of course they can not eat enough of
this to give them the food quantity
needed. The best way to feed clover
hay is to have 1t chopped fine and then
scattered on the floor in small quanti-
ties for the hens to eat of 1t as they
will. This is better than mixing 1t with
the grain or the soft foods. OF grains
II one has supply of corn, wheat and
oats with which to alternate, these
with the clover hay, bone meal and ami
NAL food once a week will keep the
hens In good laying condition. Quanti-
ties and times and methods of using
the several grains are best worked out
by the feeder according to the needs
of his flock and his location. In cold
sections more corn will be necessary
than In warmer locations.

A Ration for Sheep.

Where there is fair supply of mixed
clover and timothy hay on hand, it Is
comparatively easy to carry flock OF
sheep through the winter at light ex-
pense, provided they are in good shape
when they are put into winter quar-
tiers. With all the clover and timothy
they desire grain ration of pound
a day, made up of two parts of wheat,
one part bran and one part oats, with
handful of oil meal, will keep them
in splendid shape, even the breeding
ewes. Enough roots should be obtain
ed to give them an occasional feeding
of them. If the supply of hay Is short,
corn slower may be substituted for
roughage, but il this Is done it may be
necessary, with some sheep, to increase
the grain ration slightly. The ration
as given win be found very satisfac-
tory by feeders whose crop of corn is
limited, but who have fair supply of
hay and corn stover, and can buy the
grains mentioned at fairly low price.

The common white butterfly seen
In cabbage fields Is an imported
insect and very destructive, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. The
adult female insect is shown In the II
lustration. The eggs are laid upon
cabbage and allied plants, producing
the well-known green cabbage worm.
After feeding for a time the worm
leaves the plant, changes to chry-
sails, from which the adult energies
shortly afterward. There are seyerai
broods each season.
Attempts have been made to destroy
these pests by the cultivation OF a
contagious disease, which has been
found to attack the worms. This rem
edy, however, has not been successful
and other means must be followed for
its destruction. Hand picking the
worms, although tedious, Is an ehec-
tive remedy on small areas. Insect
powder, known also as pyrethrum. or
buhach, may be mixed with six or
eight times its bulk of -four and busted
on the plants. 1t should be applied

Keeping Apes in Winter.

If large quantities of fruit are to be
kept there is no way equal to the mod
ern cold storage process, but this is ex-
pensive. Oftentimes, however one has
a few barrels of fine fruit designed for
home use or to keep for select trade,
and these may be kept in good shape
by either of the following methods.
Only the finest and most perfect speci-
mems are used in either case: Take
good barrels, and in the bottom of each
place oats an inch deep. Then wrap
each apple in newspaper and pack a
layer on the oats, not permitting the
apples to touch. Then put In another
layer of oats, and on this a layer of
apples. as before. Continue this until
the barrel Is full. The other method
Is simply to omit the oats and pack the
apples in the same way. after wrapping
each specimen in oiled or waxed pa
per. In either case the barrels must be
kept In an even temperature, where it Is
cool but above the freezing point.

When poultry are confined during the
winter they should have a yard In
which to run on pleasant days, If no
scratching shed can be provided. A
good plan is to protect the yard on the
windy side by pillng cornstalks high
against the fence. Then have heap
of coarse, strawy manure In the yard,
sufficiently large to keep the soil from
freezing hard. Cover as large a space
as possible with this heap, or. better
still, have several such heaps, and pro
tect them with boards, so that the
fowls cannot get at them and scratch.
Uncover one of these heaps at a time,
and pile the material in another spot,
then spade up the soil where 1t lay. Ii
the pile was high enough the soil can
be easily loosened, and. except In very
cold sections, will not freeze hard again
In several days. A little grain thrown
on this spaded space will keep the
fowls busy and happy. An hour each
day when the sun is shining brightly in
a spot like this will keep the fowls in
good shape, and they will turn out eggs
regularly.

Money in Potatoes.

In some localities, notably in sections
of the East, considerable money has
been made from potatoes this season,
one man marketing 1900 barrels from 4
little over twenty-five acres at an aver
age Of 81 a barrel. Such cases are, Of
course, unusual, and due to the high
prices incident to a short crop. The
yield, too, is out of the common and
secured by the following treatment Of
the soil AS foundation for the big
crop of potatoes field in sod is select
ed, heavily MANFRED, plowed under and
planted to corn. which is faithfully Gull
tivated until waist high. The following
spring the ground is plowed deeply,
which brings up the rotted sod, which
Is fined by the use of a cutting harrow
and drag harrows until it Is in shape
for the seed potatoes. Potato planters
are used, the seed being dropped four
teen inches apart in the row with the
rows three feet apart. After planting
the plot is narrowed, and then cultiva-
ton begins and is kept up thoroughly
until the plants meet across the row,
the cultivation being done as close to
the row as possible at each operation.
Thorough soil preparation and constant
and thorough summer cultivation are
the secrets of success in potato grow

Meanest-Man in Kansas.

Not long ago the wife of Western
Kansas politician asked him to lay
aside politics long enough one day to
dig the potatoes in the garden. He
agreed to do it. After digging for a
few minutes he went into the house
and said he had found a coin. He wash
1t off and 1t proved to be silver quar-
ter. He put 1t In his jeans and went
back to work. Presently he went TO
the house again and said he had found
another coin. He washed the dirt off
it. 1t was a. silver half dollar. He
put it In his jeans. Il have worked
pretty hardy said he to his wife; At
guess I'll take a short nap" When he
awoke he found that his wife had dug
all the rest of the potatoes. But she
found no coins. 1t then dawned upon
her that she had been worked. kan

the fateful message, and by the thought
Of dear old Jimmy, who had taught him
to play marbles, baseball and football;
who had fought for him when he was
imposed upon, and with him when he
deserved it-lying weak and suffering
In the heart of Luzon.
And cropping up with the heartache
was persistent pang of jealousy.
Jimmy was only IS when he enlisted,
and Allen had begged so hard to go,
too. Weren't they both the sons of
brave soldier, he argued. Did three
miserable years prevent his marching
Just rs far and shooting just rs straight
as Jimmy?
"Allen, dear'-it was his mothers
voice from the foot of the stairs
'hurry down and go to the store. Mr..
Thomas has forgotten to send the but
ter"
Allen sptang to his feet, dashed cold
water In his face and rubbed 1t vigor-
ously. But in spite of this treatment
his mothers keen eye caught the traces
of tears. She placed her hand tenderly
on his shoulder, saying:
"You must not worry about your
brother. Remember, he has fine con-
stitution and will have the best of hos
pltal care. Doubtless he'll be sent home
on a furlough."
at isn't that mother, altogether. I'd
trust Jimmy for pulling through almost
anything, but II only l could be with
him. 1t isn't fair that must stay home
when he's there. I'm strong and tough
and the best quarterback the teams
ever had, and could fight for my coun-
try just as hard as Jimmy"
The mothers arm stole around the
boy, and she drew him close as sud
den fear shot through her heart.
"And leave his poor mother all alone?
What should l do without my home
guard? You don't know what COM
fort you have been to me in your broth
er's absence"
Allen threw back his shoulders. and
with a military salute to his smiling
mother, hurried away. Come to think
of 1t, his mother had betrayed her de-
pendence upon him more than once. He
had really stepped into Jimmy's shoes.
The frown had disappeared aud he was
almost smiling when he reached the
store. But Mr.. Thomas, all unwilling
ly, reopened the wound. as he did up the
package.
THAT'S just what we expected of
your brother Blood will tell, and he
comes from fighting stock"
Amt l from the same stock ?"
thought Allen, rebelliously, as he left
the store. His cheeks flushed and the
lump rose again in his throat. He made
for the railroad cut off to avoid meet
ing any more people with their condo
lences and congratulations.
He fell to brooding over the situation.

LOVES YEAR.

On a January morning,
Bright and frosty, Love was born;
Softened by the gentler breezes
OF a February morn;
With the March winds. wild and gusty'
Raved and clustered all the day.
But was moved to tears and laughter
As sweet April had her way;
And to fairer expectation
With the promise-buds of Mayi
Under june skies, blue and hopeful,
Felt anticipation near;
Revealed In the July glory
OF the suns rays, hot and clear'
And with golden sheaves of August
Knew that harvest time Is dear;
Yet amidst a chill September
Felt a change that checked his prioe'
In the dmness of October
Watched the falling leaves and signed;
Through Novembers fogs and yapors
Wandered out alone and cried
Till at last, In bleak December,
On a winter night he died.

American Poultry,

Mr.. Lewis Wright, Of England. who
has been, If he is not now, called one of
the highest authorities on poultry breed
ing and growing that ever put pen to
paper, says that the American breeds
are better than the much-praised Eng
lish Orpington breeds, originated a few
years ago by Mr.. Cook, of England. He
also pronounces the American breeds
as bred here better than the same
breeds when bred in England. There
they incline to the Cochin type in all
the American breeds, more cushion.

birds, which detracts from their utility,

their beauty.-Exchange.

Draft Hor.es Popn1nr

The draft horse now enjoys the high
est prosperity and greatest popularity
of any breed of horses among the
American farmers. The prejudice
against the draft horse being too big
has given place to the universal desire
to raise them as large as possible and
farmers generally want to raise draft
horses for the market and they have
learned that the big draft mares and
young geldlngs make the best farm
teams, and as fast as they mature the
markets take them at good prices
