Nursery RoEues.

Those Ohio nursery rogues are at
work early this year. Their agents
come and offer several new varieties
of peaches about which wonderful sto-
ries are told. They charge 90 cents
each. the remainder to be paid when
the trees bear. The varieties are I'M
known-that is. they do not appear in
any of the lists which have been care
fully prepared by our best fruit grow
ers. When asked why these varieties
are not thus listed, these rogues reply
that they "are too valuable" and that
the owner has been able to hold all the
stock. etc. This fraudulent business
has been exposed again and again, and
we warn our readers that they will
surely be disappointed if they invest
money in any such schemes. Give such
fellows the dog rather than the dollar.

Birds That Help.

Recent careful study with reference
to the food habits of hawks. and owls
carried on by the United States depart
ment of agriculture goes to show that
these birds, with but few exceptions,
are the farmers friends rather than
his enemies. 1t appears that the good
which they accomplish in the way Of
destroying mice, gophers, rabbits and
other small mammals, along with great
quantities of noxious insects, far ex-
ceeds the possible harm they do by the
occasional destruction of poultry and
other birds. A critical examination Of
the actual contents of about 2,T00 stom-
achs of these birds showed that only
six of the seyenty-three species found
in the United States are injurious.
Three of these are so rare that they
need not be considered. OF the remain
ing three, the fishhawk is only indi-
rectly injurious; hence but two remain
to be considered - viz, the sharp
Skinned and COoper's hawks. Omitting
the six species that feed largely on
poultry and game. 2,212 stomachs were
examined, of which sc per cent con-
tanned mice and other small mammals,
% per cent insects and only 316 per
cent poultry and game birds.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Rirht or Left.


Recently there has been considerable
discussion in the farm papers of the
question, Which is the best kind of a
pillow, one that throws the furTow slice
to the right or to the left? There has
developed considerable difference of
opinion, anG there fsasome argument in
favor of each kind. If we use -check
lines in driving the team, it does not
make much difference, as the team
may be easily turned in either direc-
ton, but If a. s'sfngIe line is used on
the near horse left hand plow will
be found NEST satisfactory. 'sCheck
.lInesy are very "bunglesome" and will
not be used By an expert plownan on
n steady team. A single line, with the
near or led horse in the furrow and a
Jockey stick on the "off" horse, will
be found the most satisfactory ar
rangement that can be devised. 1t
leaves the plewman freer and more
comfortable, and he will do better and
more work in given time with a
left hand" pillow and single line''
than he will with .'checks" and &
fright hand" pillow. In blowing the
furrow should always be thrown to-
ward the center of the land" and the
team turned at the corners on the IN
plowed ground.-Alva Agee in Stock

Mnnufncturinr Farmeru.

Every farmer should be manufac-
turer and sell as little raw material off
the farm as possible. By manufacture
ing beef, pork, mutton, butter, cheese,
milk and many other products he can
make two profits-for instance, that OF
the cattle raiser and the cattle feeder.
There is no economy in raising the cat
tie and growing and harvesting the
feed and then selling both the cattle
and feed to Some one else to furnish
the beef product. Why should not the
farmer feed his own crops to his own
cattle and market his own beeves, thus
saving all the cost of bying each sepa-
rately, bringing them together and
combining them? Farmers can feed
their own live stock at less cost than
anybody else.

The Small Farmer Most Interested.

The Small Farmer Most Interested.
The average corn crop of nearly half
this country is not above twelve bush
els per acre. The yield might easily
be raised to twenty-five. The potato
crop does not run above 120 to $50
bushels. This might be raised from
200 to 300 bushels. The average yield
can be more than doubled and the
average profit more than trebled. But
we are met right here with the objec-
ton that many farmers are poor, in
debt, renters, one horse farmers and
so on. 1t is claimed that these cannot
do intensive farming. This is a great
mistake. The truth is just the other
way. The poor men have been made
poor and kept poor by trying to cult
vate too much land. This has made
the supply bills large and all the ex-
penses heavy. Poor work has given
small crops, and so they will continue
unless they change.
Cut down the acres, cut down the
labor bill. cut down the expenses and
you will get out of debt. you will be
able to own a farm. may be a small
one, but it will be yours. b. Hunni-
