When an OIL Lamp Was a Curiosity.

G. M. Shackelford, Shelby County
pioneer, was the first man to introduce
oil in the county. Some time in the
'50s he Visited st. Louis and brought to
Shelbyville two lamps and couple OF
gallons of oil.
When the citizens Of the village
learned it there was considerable ex-
citement-much more than when the
electric lights were turned ON a few
years ago. About 400 people gathered
at the store to watch Mr.. Shackelford
take his life in his hands. He loaded
up the lamp, turned the wick and pre-
pared for illumination by fastening a
paper lighter ON the end of stick
The crowd looked uneasy, but didn't
run, and the new lighting works was
an entire success. Oil cost SO per gal.
Ion. Mr.. Shackelford bought some to
introduce the improvement among his
fellow citizens. but he only disposed OF
gallon the following year.-Clarence

PRUNING.

Few OF the old orchards have been
properly pruned. The chief trouble
has been that the pruning has been
spasmodic. The farm orchard is
usually pruned but once in several
years and then SO severely that the
trees for year or two are thrown out
of balance, condition manifested by
a great growth of water-sprouts. The.
proper way to prune is to begin when
trees are young and prune only
enough to train and head the tree to
the desired form. And then as the
trees come into full bearing. little
pruning is needed, If done yearly,
aside. from heading in long growths,
training the branches, and removing
crossed, crotched and weak branches.
Late winter, February and March. is
the best time to prune. The wounds
should be made as near as possible to
the tree trunk and parallel with 1t and
not beyond the bulge and at right
angles with the branch, as Is so COM
monty done. An old and a good rule
is. "prune strong-growing trees lightly
and weak-growing ones sevdrely."-

To Handle Barb Wire.

Wire fence is the fence Of the pres
ent day, and likely to be for more
years to come. A farmer often wishes
to move a string Of barb wire fence to
some other place. To do so is a job
that tries the patience and cuts the
hands. Let me tell you how to handle
II and have no more trouble. Take the
spool on which the wire was originally
rolled run a good, strong, smooth
stick through 1t and drivce a wedge
In firmly at one end to keep the spool
from turning ON stick; now fix n crank
firmly to one end of your stick and
fasten one end of wire to the spool.
Two men take hold of the stick, the
right-hand man holding the stick with
his left hand, and turning the crank
with his right hand. Walk right along
and you will be surprised how easily
and rapidly you can take up wire. A
little different form of spool and q
crank on each end will take up WOW
en- wire the same as barb.-Farm Jour

When through the hazy atmosphere, your

Comes the fur.off silv'ry music of the ole

When the harvest day is over an the toll
ers' work is done,
Over wavin' corn an clover tinted by the
settin' sun.
Low an sweet the distant music Of the
ole bell floats along;
Borne upon the evenin' breezes, mingled
with the reapers' song,
An you look acrost the medder, past the

Where the ringer sweet is waitin' with a

Oh, there amt no joys OF summer that can

Good Poultry Food.

Milk has always afforded an attrac-
tive field for scientific investigation.
its possibilities seeming practically
limitless, and it's uses comprise long
list of articles that have become prac-
tically indispensable. Everything,
from an infant food to cold water
paint, has been got out. of the lacteal
fluid, and now there comes a new
product, made from what has hereto
fore been an absolute waste. 1t is the
refuse that is left from the process OF
manufacturing sugar Of milk. This
waste contains all of the albumen that
was in the original milk and many
other important elements Of food
which, when properly prepared and put
into a balanced ration, makes a val
liable poultry food, the albumen being
SO essential to egg formation.
For a number of years Myron ii
Bent, of Antwerp, has been a success
full poultryman, and about a year age
il occurred TO him that the waste pro
duced at the factory Of the National
Milk Sugar Company at that place
ought to make an admirable poultry
food when properly fed, being derived
as it was, from milk, which every one
who has kept hens knows to be ex'
cellent for fowls at all times. He be-
gan to experiment systematically, nnt
asserts that he has obtained good re
suits. A separate flock gained from
30 to 40 percent over its previous rec
ord when it was fed on meat scrap fol
animal food, and when the new foot
was discontinued the egg yield fel
back TO its old figure, but picked NJ
at once when the new food was fee
again. Thereafter Mr.. Bent fed 1t u
his entire flock throughout the year
and obtained gratifying results, secur
ing nearly nine thousand eggs from
about sixty brown Leghorns during th'
year. The fowls we're fed no othel
animal food at any time and moultet
in the fall better than ever before, an'
never entirely stopped laying at an!
time. The flock was healthy and con
tented. Growing stock also thrivet
finely, and 1t seemed to Mr.. Bent to b.
Just the food for producing feather

HUMUs IN THE ORCHARD.

1t is an important point in farm
Ing to preserve the humus in the soil
where there is no humus. Humus has
a value distinctive from that of the
fertility it contains. 1t holds moist
ure in the soil and also holds some
forms of fertility. To increase it in
the orchard good way is to grow
legumes of some sort and plow them
under at stated seasons. Not only
does the cultivator thus increase the
humus in the soil, but the nitrogen
Is increased as it has been caught
from the air by these plants. Some
follow the practice of not plowing or
spading under the green crop, but of
moving and leaving it on the ground.
But to our minds this is a very in
ferior way of getting the good Of de-
caying humus. The air must in that
case rob the crop mown of Il part of
its fertility, especially the volatile por.
tons. Moreover, the roots in the
ground cannot get hold of this decay.
ing vegetation, and we see little
chance of their benefting by it. We
believe that by all means the crop
should be turned under in some way.
The soil will then grow more perfect
in mechanical structure from year to
year and the roots Will always be able
to get into touch with the humus and
the fertility and the moisture in 1t.

Double Eggs.

Hens cannot lay two perfect eggs in
one day because the hens body is not
capable of releasing sufficient carbo-
nate of lime to furnish two perfect
shells. The first growth of the egg in
the hen is the yolk. When this reach
es maturity it drops into long mem
branous canal, known as the oviduct.
AS II travels through this canal 1t re-
celves a coating of albumen, which is
the white of the egg. AS 1t approach
es the mouth of the oviduct 1t re-
ceives a coating of lime, which consti-
tutes the shell. With full laying hen
this operation occurs only every "a
hours. Once in awhile, however, due
probably to stimulation and overfeed-
ing, the ova. or yolks, are produced so
rapidly that two of them drop into
the oviduct together. These ova trav-
ell together along the passage and re-
ceive the white separately, but be-
come inclosed in one, shell, and when
laid are commonly known as double
yolked eggs. Such an egg is in reality
a double egg, the white being dupli-
Gated as well as the yolk.

Roup Amona the Poultry.

The usual spring batch of complaints
are heard about colds among the fowls
followed by an alarming number OF
deaths. This is one of the troubles
where prevention is worth all the cures
known, for once roup gets into flock
is creates havoc, and even though the
fowls are saved, they do not amount
to much for a long time. The first
thing to do. is to make the quarters
occupied by the fowls dry, and do 1t
in any way which will bring the de-
sired results. For treatment, IL the
fowls are not too sick, in which case
kill them and burn the bodies, take
ten drops Of formaln, obtainable at
any drug store, mix IL in two table
spoonfuls of warm water and, with q
feather, swab the throats of the fowls
It's a nasty job and you will not
need to do it If you will make 1t a
point to have dry quarters for the poul-
ry.-Indianapolis News.

Fish and Dog Story From Kentucky.

John T. Parish, of the Holland coun-
try, says he has a dog that can catch
more fish and better fish than any
man. He says that when he arises
in the morning, if he feels that he
would relish fish for breakfast, he
makes his wants known to his dog,
and in very short time q nice fish
is in the frying pan.
Mr.. Parish lives near the river, and
he says he has erected little plat
form on the edge of the water for his
dogs use and benefit. He says the
dog will perch himself on this plat
form and watch for his game. When
nice fish that he likes the looks of
comes near enough he dives from
his perch and never fails to make a
catch. During shoaling time he fire.
quently catches two fish at time.

whisky Peaaled in wagon A,les.

An entirely novel scheme of whisky.
peddling has been discovered in the
Chickasaw Nation. The culprits, who
are peddlers. travelled in an old wagon
drawn by poor span of Indian ponies
and were ostensibly buying eggs and
poultry, but on the sly they would
sell small bottles of whisky to farm
ers and Indians throughout the neigh
borifood at 81 per pint. The officers
discovered that both axles Of the wag-
on were of iron and very large. Upon
further investigation it was discovered
that these axles were hollow and
would hold about four gallons each.
The peddlers would remove a bolt
and insert small plug and draw the
whisky out of these axles.
