'METHoD THAT SAVES WORK


Isuse no droppines boards, and by

can let the droppings remain for weeks
and yet leave the house free from bad
smell, and as the droppings are hidden
in the leaves, cleaner to look - than
half the houses l see that are cleaned
daily. In winter have let my houses

several months. I don't ADVISE others
either to do without droppings boards
or to let their houses go so long I'M
cleaned unless they are sure they can
control the situation. IL there is much
looseness among the fowls 1t will not do
at all to let droppings accumulate. With
some kinds of litter the droppings cam
not be allowed to accumulate. Dry
leaves have found better than anything
else, II one has them in sufficient quaint
ity to keep the litter always deep on the
floor of the houses. In England many
farmers use peat moss, and allow drop
pings to accumulate in 1t for nearly a
year. In Rhode Island the colony plan

and throw dry earth. a few shovelfuls at
a time, from the other side Of the floor

accumulation Of earth and droppings Is
removed once or twice year Poultry
manure normally is OF such character
that If one takes proper care Of II where
1t falls in the house 1t is not necessary
that it should be promptly removed;
and the small farmer taking advantage
of this fact, can arrange his roosts and
their surroundings so that he can clean
when convenient. He Is not required
to choose between taking time to clean
the houses daily or having houses In
condition to be ashamed Of.
Poultry keeping ought to be an i'm
portant feature on every farm, and a
pleasant feature of farm work. 1t may
be If the farmer will only study to adapt
his stock and his methods to the ca
pacity of the farm under conditions sat

SUGAR BEET EXPERIMENTS
Colorado Grower Explains How He
Secured Net Profit of SAL
Per Acre.

The field upon which my prize crop
OF sugar beets was grown was low,
level land, with just enough slope to
the east for easy irrigation. Being q
sandy loan. It worked with compare.
tive ease. The land is worth about $50
per acre. The year previous to grow.
ing beets the land was seeded to peas
but was so full Of alkali that the crop
did not grow well. However, it was
given good cultivation and the weeds
were kept down.
Previous to planting the seed, the
ground was plowed partly in March
and partly the previous August. About
March 25 it was thoroughly narrowed
and also compacted. The seeded was
in good condition. No fertilizers were
used. The seed was planted April 8, on
comparatively dry ground, 20 pounds
seed being used to the acre. The beet
seed cost ten cents per pound and was
put in with two-horse press drill and
IS inches apart. Cultivation was com
paratively easy, the land being har-
rowed crosswise to break the crust be-
fore the seed came up
The early part of the season was
quite dry, consequently there were few
weeds to contend with. The beet plants
were thinned May Is to II and the
crop was cultivated May rs, June 8
and 90, and irrigated June %. Cultiva-
ton was repeated July 10. July "a a
heavy rain fell and from then on the
crop required no further cultivation or
irrigation.
began harvesting about November
1. The beets were plowed out with a
three-horse beet plow. The crop aver
aged about Is tons to the acre. The
beets were large and fairly smooth.
The operation of harvesting was quite
simple. After the beets were plowed
out, they we're pulled, topped and
placed in piles. AS soon as they were
topped, they were covered with weeds,

sliced and all were hauled to the fac.

COTTON FROM cELLULoSE.
Material Obtained from Fir Trees Con-
verified Into Marketable Ar
ticle in France.

The French chamber of commerce Of
Milan says that an artificial cotton is
now made from the cellulose of the fir
tree freed from bark and knots, reports
the Scientific American. The fibers,
after being pulverized by a special ma
chine, are placed in a horizonal brass
lead-lined cylinder Of some $500 cubic
feet capacity and steamed for ten hours
after which 1000 cubic feet of bisul-
plate of soda wash is added and the
whole is heated for &c hours under a
pressure of three atmospheres. Then
the wood, or fiber, which has become
very white, is washed and ground by a
series Of metallic meshes, after which
1t is again washed and given an electro
chemical bleaching by means of chic
ide of lime. Passage between two pow
erful rollers then dries the matter, pro-
ducing a. pure cellulose, which when re-
heated in tight metal boiler containing
a mixture of chloride of zinc and hydro
added littlecastor oil, casein and gela-
tine to give resistance to the fiber, gives
a very consistent paste. Threads are
then produced by passing this pasta
through kind Of draw-plate. These
breads, after being passed over a
| ghmmed cloth. are immersed in weak
solution OF carbonate Of soda and passed
between two slowly turning drying cyl
inders. Finally to give the necessary
solidity, the thread Is treated to an am
moniacal bath and rinsed in cold water,
after which the product Is pliable and
works well.
! \ In Bavaria experiments have recently
been made to produce cotton from pine
wood and II is claimed that the trials
have been very successful.

Prodigy Sinrers-

Precocity among singers Is rarer in
one way than among any other kind of
artistic; in another way it is very COM
mon, because singing is at once, for
those who are born to sing, the most nat
ural and instructive form of musical
utterance. and at the same time the
form of art which takes the longest time
to reach maturity. There is, of course,
another reason why prodigy singers APP
pear more rarely. The vocal chords are
more delicate than the fingers or the
wrists, and wear out sooner, and, though
singing is natural, singing in public may
cause great risks.-Musical Times.
