A Business for Small CAPITAL.

The first important factor in favor
OF poultry raising is the fact that
little capital is required to start the
business. Many flock has been
started on rs cents. A girl or boy
may thus easily become an investing
capitalist. At first the chief invest
ment required is painstaking labor,
The next is intelligent thought. The
returns seem large for the small
amount at first invested, but that is
not so. The returns are rather to be
considered the returns for labor and
thought expended. AS the investment
increases the returns will be more and
more due to increasing capital and
not so much as at first to the personal
labor and thought. The boys and
girls on the farm have the inside
track in this matter. They can start
flock with very little outlay, and
tney can carry it on and increase the
outlay from year to year as the re-
turns may justify increased invest
ment. The farmer should give his
boys and girls chance to try their
hand at real business-if there are
more than one flock on the farm, so
much the better, as it is frequently
better to have a number OF f1ocks
tnan one large one. The poultry busi-
ness is In great contrast to most other
enterprises In that it does not re-
Qu1re elaborate preparations for a
start. The smallness OF the invest
ment required for a start in poultry
raising should forever prevent the
business drifting into the hands of
great combinations. It makes it pos
s1ble to utilize good deal of idle
labor. More than that, it is both
mental and manual training for the
young people on the farm. The fact
that poultry raising requires small in
vestment OF capital places within
reach OF the young people of the farm
many things that would otherwise not
be obtainable. It may be desired to
obtain more education than can be
given by the district school. The
cases are not few where the we'll
handled flock Of poultry has been the
basis Of college education. We
would suggest to young, ambitious
people on the farms that they look
around them and see what can be
done in this matter.

In the next war wireless telegraphy
will prove an important, factor!
Whether the battle be waged on land
or sea, between armies or navies, the
wireless transmission of intelligence
Will loom up, gigantic spectre
dreaded by the enemy like a mirage
in the desert by the traveller.
Ever since the advent of this seem
Ing miracle, equaling in every re-
spect the telepathy of which we have
so long dreamed, the Powers of the
world have been testing it's merits
so that when the next war is on and
the crucial moment arrives, troops
or vessels may communicate with
each other even though a distance of
fifty miles separates them.
The military wireless telegraph
here illustrated is known as the
Braun-Siemens & Holske system, and
is the invention of Prof. Ferdinand
Braun, instructor in electrical en-
cheering in the Physical Institute,
Strassburg, Germany, and the appa-
ratus is manufactured by the Sie-
meAS q t1OlSke ElecCrlc company or
Berlin.
The equipments were specially de-
signed for the recent German army
maneuvers and were placed in charge
of the Royal Military Airship Bat
talon. During the trials of trans
hitting and receiving wireless mes
sages after hard runs and forced
marches the results were witnessed
by the Kaiser, who evinced his ap-
proval of the operations.
The conditions under which the bat
talon rendered it's telegraphic service
were severe in the extreme, as, for
instance, in the cross country runs,
when the carriages were carried over
land at terrific speed, limited only by

blowing the smaller should be the sur
face of the kite exposed to it. Know
ing the value of kites, and under this
new d1spensation, the conditions aris-
ing at De Aar will not likely be re-
peated.
Besides the German government,
the United States, Austria and Danish
army and navy departments are also
testing the "Reminiscences & Holske

sides this, all the Powers on land and
sea are trying out every new device
for wireless communication that tends

Orchard Cover Crops.

IN selecting q cover crop, we should
consider the follG ing points: We
must have crop t.. t grows quickly,
covering the ground completely; one
which is reasonably sure to catch,
one year with another; one that the
seed is not expensive, and if possible
one which will add something to the
soil which will aid tree growth, says
M. S. Kellogg. AS these crops are
sown in a usually dry season of the
year, the clovers are not to be con-
sidered very seriously, as they are un-
certain Of termination and slow of
growth. Above all, whether in or
chard or nursery, cultivate the crop
under early and then cultivate, cult
vate, cultivate; retain all the moisture
possible with dust mulch, and aid
in avoiding drought. In closing, would
say: Do not depend on any one crop;
have two strings to your bow, and
if one fails use the other till the first
one is repaired. There is no one crop.
that will uniformly succeed, and
each one will need to do some expert
menting for himself to determine just
what is best for his needs. The ex-
pertinent stations in the different
states are doing work along this line
and we must look to them to tell US
what crop is going to add the needed
humus and tree growing matter to
our very diversified soil; the average
nurseryman and orchardist has not
the facilities nor the time to expert
ment to determine what is lacking in
his soil.

Making Good Butter.

From The Farmers Review: I have
been in the dairy business for less
than two years. We milk in tin pals
and run the milk through the separa.
tor Immediately. We set the cream
to ripen in stone crooks. We always.
take our separator apart Immediately
after using, cleanse, scald and put to-
gether again just before using next
time. We also cleanse every vessel
that has had milk in it. We use a.
barrel churn. By this method we have,
no unpleasant odor about the milk
room or. in the butter, as our custom
ers will testify. We mold our butter
in brick shape, wrap in parchment
paper, and away it goes Thomas

Pedigree OF Pigs In Dam.

Twelve years we have been issuing
duplicates for pedigrees received.
Ihese duplicates, when sent out, if
correct, show how the original pedi-
gree should have been made to show
the animal sold in dam. The dupli-
cafes should serve as copy for the
breeder in making future pedigrees.
This is not only true of this matter
OF pigs sold in dam, but the duplicates
are a copy from which pedigrees
should be made in all particulars, yet,
Tor some reason, that has always
been a mystery to me, a great many
breeders seem not to learn from the

person making pedigree, should
always have in mind. That is the
rule, that the owner OF the dam at the
time OF service, is the breeder of her
litter. 1t the dam is sold after being

read: Bred by "A, sold in dam to

OF the person who signs a pedigree
should, in all cases, appear on the top
OF the pedigree, either as breeder or
as the person to whom the pig was
sold in dam.

A. BULLETIN, just issued from the

living. 1t shows the average income
of 2.,367 families, in 80 states, to have
been $827.19, while the average ex-
peuditure was $768, with the average
amount paid out for food estimated at
$326.9O. The highest cost of food was
reached in 1902, and the highest prices
of food that year, as compared with
the lowest prices of the year preceding,
show an increase of 1911 per cent.
