Should Don Her Fllrs

Perhaps she has discarded them as being out
Of style, or injured in some way, and does moi
eel like calling on her husband for new ones.
IN nine cases out OF ten this is mistake. While
We have stylish garments, muffs and boas at the
owest prices in the city we make a speciality Of
eparing and renovating Furs Of every descrip-
ion. Don't throw away garments, nor muffs,
nor boas because you think them played out;
We know better. It is our business to make
them look like new. It is folly to throw them
aside. Bring them to US and we will surprise
you, and at comparatively little cost. What we
have done for others we can do for you. Re-
member that in addition to garments Of all
grades, we have large stock of Furs, and can
make up anything you desire Call and see US
before purchasing. We Can save you money.

Profit in Eaa Production.

Some writer makes the statement
tnat the profit in egg production lies
in the cost of the food given the
fowls. If this were so the profit in
eggs would be very easy to figure out.
Unfortunately for the arithmetic of it
there are almost innumerable factors
entering into the equation. One of
these is the selling price of eggs. 1t
makes all the difference in the world
to the profits whether the eggs be laid
principally in the early and middle
winter or in the spring. In the first
case they are high in price. In the
second case they are low in price. In
the case of winter eggs large profit
may be the result and in the case of
summer eggs the balance is likely to
be on the wrong side of the book. The
cost of food may be approximately the
same in both cases. Even If it were
double in the winter what it was in
the summer the profits would still be
on the side of the winter eggs. The
proposition may be put in this way.
A man had a flock of hens that pro-
duced 100 dozen of eggs which sold at
10 cents dozen. Time, spring. Cost
of eggs per dozen. five cents. Another
man had flock of hens that produced
in the winter 100 dozen of eggs. They
sold at 80 cents per oozen, but the
food cost twice as much as did the
food for the flock belonging to the
other man. What was the difference
in the profits? 1t may be taken for
granted that good many men will
answer by saying 1.-THE eggs Of the
winter flock sold for twice as much
as did the eggs from the summer
flock, but the feed cost twice as much.
Therefore there was no difference in
the profits" 1t is just that kind of
reasoning that keeps the mortgage on
the farm. Actually figuring out the
problem will show that the profits
from the winter laid eggs were double
those OF the spring laid eggs. The
question of time of year at which eggs
are produced is then the first one to
be considered in the matter of profits.
In other words the profits in eggs
come from reversing the course of ma
ture as to the laying of eggs.

Fertilizers to Use with Grass and
Glover.

Fertilizers are essential to the sue
cessful culture of grasses and clovers.
Commercial fertilizers are not of as
much value in this respect as barn
sard manure, green crops and lime.
Commercial fertilizers have a greater
value for meadows and pastures after
they have become firmly established.
On land intended to be seeded to grass
and clover it would be a splendid
policy to use so bushels of lime, first
Stacking 1t in a box protected from
the rain and distributing it by means
of drill or scattering it broadcast
from a wagon with shovel. The
lime should then be carefully in
corporated with the soil by disking 1t
in before sowing the seed. IL COM
mercial fertilizer is used, 1t should
be complete one and be literally ap-
piled, say at the rate of 800 to 600
pounds per acre. 1t may be composed
Of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda, $50
pounds of acid phosphate and so
pounds of muriate of potash. The nj
trate of soda contains about 1915 per
cent of available nitrogen, the acid
phosphate about 16 per cent, and the
muriate of potash about rs per cent.
If applied at the rate of 400 pounds,
1t would give fertilizer containing
practically per cent of nitrogen, 10
per cent of phosphoric acid and per
cent of potash A top dressing of is
tons of we'll rotted barnyard manure
would be better than a commercial
fertilizer. The barnyard manure not
only furnishes a plentiful supply of
plant food, but it protects the young
grass and clover and helps to retain
the moisture in the soil by acting as
a mulch.-Prof. Andrew NJ Soule.

Spraying Strawberries.

All rust and blight are of fungus
growth which multiplies through
spores or single cell seeds, which are
carried on the leaves and during I'M
favorable weather, especially when
showers are followed by bright sun
shine it spreads very fast and de-
stroys the digestive powers of the
leaves Bear in mind the leaves are
the digestive organs of the plant, and
If diseased or seriously injured, the
plant can make no growth. No spores
can live when brought in contact with
Bordeaux mixture. There are no
plants in the country free from this
scourge unless they have been thor
oughly sprayed and the spores de-
stroyed. | am satisfied that If the
propagating bed is we'll sprayed dur.
ing the summer with Bordeaux mix
ture the spores will be so far de-
stroyed that no injury is likely to
come to the plants after they are set
in the field. If the plants when re-
ceived are covered with these spores,
and they are sure to be IL they have
not been properly spraS ed, and the
weather turns wet and sultry, the

Leshorns for Meat.

1t has been generally supposed that
Leghorns are of value only for the
eggs they lay and not for the meat.
Yet some markets take Leghorn broil.
ers in large numbers. An Indiana
breeder told the writer that he was
shipping Leghorn broilers to New
York in large numbers. He said he
had experimental with about all the
leading breeds to find one that would
suit the market and make money for
the producer. Finally he settled
down to the Leghorn. The bird is
plump and has large proportion of
meat on Its breast, Probably the Leg
horn will never be a favorite bird for
the common trade in poultry flesh, but
1t has a better chance with the fancy
trade and with the trade in broilers.

Sweet Potatoes.

The sweet potato Is a native of
southern Asia and was formerly con-
sidered an exclusively southern prod
uct, but repeated experiments demon
strated that it might be grown in the
North with perfect success. 1t is now
quite commonly cultivated in many
sections OF the North. although the
quality of the product grown in the
North is not considered equal to that
grown In the South. Northern grow
ers are obliged to TAX better care of
their sweet potato crop than are
those in the south in order to insure
success and to have the tubers mature
: before the advent of frost. The
sweet potato is propagate1 from either
tubers or prouts, but the latter is the
more common and better method
They may be grown upon any variety
of soil, but one that Is dry warm and
sandy will give a produc of the best
quality. A sandy 10 will give very
good results in both quality and guam
tity.

Duck and Goose Culture.

1t requires % days to hatch both
geese and duck eggs. Ducks should
be kept shut up over night in laying
season, as they lay very early in the
morning. Keep them in the pen until
they have deposited their eggs. If per-
mitted to have their liberty they some
times drop their eggs in the grass or
in the water, which then cannot be
found. On the other hand geese will
seek a nesting place in buildings or
around stacks OF straw. Inc early
broods of ducklings and goslings
should be Matched under hens. After
they are Matched keep them in a
small yard in which you have placed
coop for shelter; they do much bet
ter II this is done for about two weeks
than If allowed their liberty. See to it
that they have plenty of water while
eating. Feed them often, four or five
time day, when young. Keep young
geese and ducks from pudding or
swimming in cold water. They should
not be allowed on ponds until the
down has changed, and even then it is
not necessary they should have a
pond. When Matched feed nothing for
twenty-four hours. Their first food
should consist of bread crumbs soaked
in milk. Hard boiled eggs mixed
with cooked corn meal is excellent for
a few days, after which feed any
thing they will eat. 1t is conceded by
those who have had the experience
that ducks and geese are more easily
raised than any other kind of poultry
and are quite as profitable. 1t is in
deed surprising that so many poultry
raisers are without these profitable
birds as an addition to their business.

ReII Sheer as ear Loaders.

A story comes from Haley, Idaho,
about three ewes and a wether that
have been taught to lead sheep into
cars in which they are to be loaded.
On each of the leaders is a bell. The
sheep that are to be loaded follow
one of these bell sheep into the car.
The owner goes with the leader to
keep the bell from ringing when the
car is full, and the bell sheep is going
out, as that might cause the sheep
to file out again. The same sheep
have been taught to lead fiocks of
sheep through the town to the stock
yards. For these services the owners
receive small fee, ranging from rs
to so cents per trip.

sheep and goats. There is too much
stock for the good of the range, and
1t has been overstocked. There are
