YANKEE INVENTIONS.
Chinese Newspaper In the Philip
pines Describes an Ingenious
American COntrivance.

Admiral Dewey was prominent figure at
the Saratoga races. Uusualy he occupied a
box. One afternoon little party of farmers
came up to shake hands with him, and there
after, naturally, the talk turned to agricul-
ture, says the Boston Post.
when l was in the Philippines" said Ad.
miral Dewey, ''an American resident brought
me, one day, Chinese paper. He said this
paper would interest me because it con-
tanned an account of an American invention.
Then, with smile, he translated para
graph that ran something like this:
The ingenuity of the Yankee is typifed
well in hens nest that he has recently in
vented and patented. This nest increases
the laying capacity of the hens to an un-
limited degree. In the bottom of it there is
trap door, governed by delicate spring.
The hen lays an egg, the weight of which
causes the trap door to open, whereupon the
egg drops down into a subterranean COM
partment, and the door closes very swiftly
and silently again. The hen gets up, turns
to look at the egg, but sees none there. So
she decides that she must be mistaken in
thinking she had laid, and she sits down
again and deposits another egg, which, like
its predecessor, disappears. The process
continues indefinitely.

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

A day Of neglect in the poultry
yard often leads to a month of care.
Remember that filth and lice cause
about all the diseases poultry is afflicted
with.
Get ready for the show season and
let the other fellows see what kind of a
breeder you are.
Early maturity is what makes winter
laying pullets. Force the pullets along
as rapidly as possible.
Lawn clippings stored where they
will dry in the shade are an excellent
substitute for vegetables in the winter.
If you have milk do not be afraid of
giving the hens too much of 1t. Butter
milk or sour milk are as good as sweet.
Hens like to scratch for their feed,
but if they must scratch for all they get
they will not have much time for lay
Ing.
Some people prefer to keep flocks of
mixed blood They talk nicely about
their flocks, but they will learn better
later.
The time to cure disease is Just be.

using plenty of that best of medicine

UNDULY CAUTIOUS.
Infinite Precaution as Exempli1ed
by the Trained Newspaper
Reporter.

An American contemporary, having been
cast in heavy damages for incautious report

its statements in future, relates London Tit
Bits, and asks its readers how they like the
following specimen:
IAN alleged mad dog, said to be the proper.

is said to have broken his chain yesterday

of Herman Jost, who claims to be a cigar

by our readers that the alleged butcher,
rested some l6 months ago for an alleged as

brick, and he was sent to the penitentiary for,
it is stated, the alleged term of two years,
but was pardoned at the expiration of .

SYSTEMATIC SELECTION.
The Only Way in Which the Useful.
ness of Poultry Can BE Increased
with Certainty.

Everyone would like to have the ideal
hen that begins laying In November,
keeps it up all winter, and raises a flock
of nice plump cockerels and good laying
pullets in the summer when eggs are
cheap. To secure such a class of poul-
try, we would say get some pure-bred
foundation stock and then select for this
desired end. Selection is the ground
work of improvement, not only in poul-
try, but also in all farm stock. Decem-
Der laying strains do not come by
chance. To get this trait. the pullets
are Matched early, fed well, and when
there is a marked tendency shown by
few individuals to get down to earn
est work, the eggs Of these few are used
the following year for Matching, and so
the work for improvement goes on. The
same course is followed in producing
table fowl. Everyone can practice this
improvement If the trouble is taken.
and when the work is undertaken intel
ligently and with determination the
trouble is considerably decreased. The
lean, long-legged hen, and the over-fat
idle individual, should go to the kitchen
early in their existence; then when
| spring comes and the time for hatch
ing begins, the eggs from the most de.
sirable types need only be used. This
systematic selection is the only way IN
| which we can increase the usefulness
Of our poultry and the profits of poul'
| try-raising. Poultry.

How stock Helps Land

An instance was related to me the
other day of the value of stock raising
and its incidental clover rotation in
building up the productive capacity of
the land. Before the perfection of the
Chicago cold storage beef industry large
herds of cattle were driven to the Wash
ington market from northern Virginia
farms. These farms were then models
of fertility. The rotation was wheat.
corn and clover, and little if any COM
mercial fertilizer was used The beef
produced was of the finest. When Chi
cago beef began to be shipped every-
where these farmers did not find it so
profitable to raise steers and drive them
to Washington. They dropped off their
live stock growing. and in few years
had to begin the use of commercial fer
tilizer. These farm lands have since
steadily decreased in productive ca
pacity, until now most of them are
worn out and will not producsx-12 bush

Texas Finds a Remedy.

Fate, Tex, Sept. 2l.-Texas has seldom,
if ever, had such profound sensation as
that caused by the introduction recently of
new remedy for kidney diseases. This
remedy has already been tried in thousands
OF cases, and in almost every case the results

nothing to help me til fe heard a of fa the new sss
remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills. l began to
use these pills, and very soon found myself

BAD FLAVORS IN EGGS.
They Are Caused by the Food the
Hens Eat and Change of Ra-
tiOn Cures the Evil.

Farmers have known for years that
when onions were fed to hens they i'm
parted their flavor to the eggs. Now, an
experiment station has very carefully
proved 1t by thorough trial, but they
claim that 1t required some Is days be-
fore they could detect the flavor. Their
onions or garlic must have been very
mild favored, or the hens were not very
hungry for them. When we learned it
by experience, throwing some partly de-
cayed onions into the henyard, it took
but day or two to detect the flavor in
the egg, and in week the egg had a
stronger flavor than raw onion, says
the American Cultivator. But then we
had not learned to give the hens green
food during the winter, only as we had
1t from the table waste, which was not a
large amount, just cabbage leaves, par
small family. 1t does not take week
to give fishy flavor to eggs if hens are
fed freely on fish when hungry for ami
NAL food, and 1t Is manifest all the
sooner if the fish is little stale, and de-
caying meat, not sweet enough for table
use, will flavor eggs just as quickly as
1t dees milk when fed to cows, and we
only wonder that the experiment sta
tion should have thought it was neces-
sary to prove it. Now, they only need
another experiment to prove what 9TH
ers have proved long ago, that decay
ing meat or fish, if fed to hens in sufn-
cient quantity, will cause rapid decay
of eggs, or of the flesh of the fowl, II
they are slaughtered within from one
to three days after it has been fed. AnG
yet the fowl while alive may seem none
the worse for it, and perhaps be none
the worse for it week later if it's use
is discontinued, as the bacteria thai
cause rapid decay cannot work in the
living body, and will perish there IL
about a week in a healthy animal Thi:
is our reason for objecting to the raw
cut hone and meat, SO much advocated
now. If fresh it is all right except in tn.
point of cost, but decay has usually be

Alfalfa as a Honey Plant,

Alfalfa is the greatest honey plant
known to modern agriculture, says F.
D. Coburn 1t is superior to any white
clover, sweet clover or buckWheat, and
under favorable conditions gives q
honey flow from June till October. The
farmers in the alfalfa-growing dis
tricts are only beginning to appreciate
their opportunities for honey produc-
ton. There were 1922 stands of bees
in Kansas in 1903. The average honey
product per stand was given as little
over 13 pounds for the whole state.
Eighteen eastern counties, where al
falfa is scarcely known, produces only
7.6 pounds of honey per stand. These IS
counties contained about SO per cent.
of the bees of the state, 81, ,908 stands,

Esxentials i'm Hen Food..

There is no single food which is per-
feet. or which contains all the desirable
elements necessary for production, for
which reason corn as an exclusive diet
will not give satisfactory results. There
is but little lime in wheat and corn, and
as lime is essential in the production of
bone it is evident that young chicks will
make but little growth when the larger
portion of their food consists of corn
and corn meal. If clover, either green
or cured, or skim milk is fed with corn,
more benefit will be derived from the
combination than from the grain only.

CARE OF COMB HONEY.
It Must be Handled Carefully to 1Ds
sure q Profit and Establish
q Reputation.

AS soon as the comb honey is sealed,
remove it from the hive, scrape all
sections clean of propolis then put 1t
directly into shipping cases and close
tight. Keep it in warm room till
time to sell, never allowing it to freeze,
as freezing it cracks the comb, says The
Farmer, and when warmed again it be-
gins to leak out, making nasty, dauby
mess.
Be sure your shipping case is tight SO
that ants, millers, or flies cannot get
in. Do not put honey in cellar, as
the dampness busts the cappings, the
honey grows thin, loses its flavor and
leaks out. while if stored in dry room
it will improve and thicken.
Never pack two colors of honey to-
gether or mix it in the shipping cases.
Keep the white honey by itself for
better price.
Be very careful not to pack any SEQ
ton of honey having single cell OF
pollen in it, for it surely will have an
egg from moth miller in it, which will
hatch out a big ugly worm to spoil the
honey.
If you haven't shipping cases ready tc
pack the honey in as soon as taken of
the hives, then store it in the supers ir
a dry, warm room, tiering them up as
| high as you can reach. After two
| weeks fumigate with sulphur to Kill
| any moth worms that may be Matching
Also repeat the fumigetion once in twt
| weeks till cold weather.
Ship all honey to market before
freezing weather, if possible.
