Doing the spring Plowinr.


With the vision Of acres Of soil to

see the advantages OF fall blowing
under certain conditions. II a portion
Of the soil was plowed in the fall, all
necessary this spring is to harrow 1t
and prepare the seed bed. II the bulk
OF the blowing is to be done this
spring the first to be plowed should be
the sod land This Is contrary to the
operations OF most farmers, who pre-
fer to get all the growth possible in
the early spring to turn under. but
there are advantages In early blowing
OF sod land to offset any that may
come from obtaining the grass growth

Is the advantage of being able to get
out to sod land before it would be pos

been under cultivation. Try the plan

that in former years when the sod

Using Old Hena


Expert poultrymen claim that after a
hen has passed her second year she Is
no longer ut for laying purposes. and
should be sent to the carcass market
This may be so in many cases. and no
one will question the fact that the best
egg results come from fowls two years
cid and under. On the other hand one
frequently finds individual hens that
lay better at three and four years old
than when younger. and when such Is
the case 1t would be folly to kill such
bird. Before deciding to send all OF
the hens over two years old to the car
cass market. ascertain what each OF
them is doing in the way Of egg pro
duction- Then. too. these old hens.
many OF them. are extremely useful at
Matching season. even though the main
dependence Is placed on an incubator.
Be sure the old hen has lost her useful
ness before you sentence her to the
block

WOMEN WHO POSE.
The secrecy Thnt u Maintained by
Artists About Their Models.

Artists Ahout Their Models.
Every artist keeps IN his studio a
little book that he guards most sacred
ly. IL contains his list Of models. In
some art studios Of New York the
model book" contains 500 names OF
men and women who earn their living
by posing The betrayal Of a single
name by the artist would lnjure his
reputation with the craft aud make Il
difficult for him 10 employ the better
class OF models
The chief reason for this secrecy is
the fact that the outside world is prone
10 look askance at professional models.
Most Of them, however. are perfectly
modest aud good women. whose bust.
ness. though apparently violating the
letter Of morality. preserves its spirit
In fact. behind the models professional
career is little but the commonplace.
American models are characterized
by the same qualities OF self respect
and Independence as American art The
principal fault artists aud illustrators
tind with them Is their lack of express
sion. hut FOR beautiful figures aud per.
feet features they are uncXcelled.
The best models IN the world are
