TO CURE EGG EATING HENS !.

There is nothing more provoking
and more improbable than a flock Of
hens which has acquired the habit of
eating their eggs, says H. S. Bah
cock. This Is a habit more easily pre-
vented than cured. Give the hens
plenty Of exercise. with a variety of
food. Gather the eggs frequently,
provide sufficient resting places and
keep one or mere porcelain eggs upon
the floor of the house. Dark nests
are advisable, and a meat diet Is ex.
cellent.
To cure the habit provide dark nests
and add meat to the food. Remove
the end from several eggs and pour
out the contents. Make a mixture Of
hour, ground mustard and red pepper,
adding a little water to hold the ma.
terials together. Fill the shells and
place upon the floor of the henhouse.
The hens will make a wild scramble
for these prepared eggs, will gobble
down some of the contents, and will
soon be gasping with open beaks. Fol-
low up this treatment until the hens
refuse to touch an egg. It seems,
and perhaps is, somewhat severe, but
no permanent i'll effects will follow.
The hens will soon learn that eggs
are not SO palatable al they regarded
them, and will desist from the bad
habit. Positive cures have followed
this method.-Southern Fancier.

We Call Them Turnios,

A well-known Philadelphia athlete,
who has several times won amateur
wrestling championships, was staying
in England recently, where he was the
guest of a former Philadelphia. The
wrestler took a delight in buying fine
specimens of vegetables, fruit, ETC..
and it was seldom he returned from
a drive along the Strand or Oxford
street without bringing in something
special for dinner. He had bought a
crab six times bigger than the Amer
lean variety, had purchased green
cages as big as large plums, and had
frequently carried home in triumph
strawberries the size of walnuts. One
day he returned with a package under
his arm which he guarded carefully
His host asked him what his latest
discovery was, and he replied:

"Radishes, my boy, as big as your

Sod is a detriment to an orchard.
Trees require a cool, moist, rich soil.
Gut through bluegrass sod, even after
o heavy rain, and you will find the
ground hard and dry. An artificial
fertilizer would find little chance to
reach the roots Of the trees. There
are several kinds of orchard grasses
that are widely advertised, but none
of them have the advantages OF red
clover. The roots keep the surface
loose and open, the growth and deposit
of leaves give shade and moisture and
mulching. The rain sinks directly
into the soil. BY turning the clover
under every two or three years, the
soil will receive q dressing OF the best
fertilizers.
But while clover probably possesses
the most good points of all grasses,
cultivating and raising some vegetable
or root crop between the rows of trees
lis doubtless the best care an orchard
can have. It keeps down the weeds,
stirs the soil thoroughly, and enriches
the ground with a twofold purpose, to
benefit the crop and also the trees.
la friend who had an u~nfruitfui orch.
ard stumbled upon this knowledge.
His potato field bordered the orchard.
and as he lacked room he ordered the
first three rows of trees plowed up.
The next season he was surprised to
find a fine crop of apples on the trees
that had been Dlowed around. The
rest of the orchard was as barren as
usual. He extended his experiment
and soon had the entire orchard under
cuIttvation, and n OF the finest apple
orchards in the country. OF course
it is troublesome to raise potatoes in
an orchard, but it certainly pays to do

RAPID GROWTH OF FOREST
TREES,

II it was not generally known how
quickly timber could be grown on land
that had been cleared of primeval for:
est, there would be many waste places
planted with trees. Most people,
when measuring the diameter of a tree
and counting the growths of each year
to ascertain it's age, get the impression
that is the average growth for all
trees Of the same kind. This is a
mistaken idea, as trees will grow to
the size of one foot in diameter IN land
that has been cleared and laid to the
sun for a few years in one-third the
time they will among the large trees

Thirty years ago, when pulling up

Susquehanna County, Pa, I happened
where a carpenter was finishing a
house with pine lumber, some of 1t
twelve inches wide. He informed me
the last crop On the land was potatoes,
and the rows could be plainly seen
when the timber was cut.
During n of my rambles through
the forest many years ago, in search
of wild bees, a line led me on strange
ground. While searching the tree I
came across an old board fence that
