horses doing heavy work are adorned
during the summer. These hats are ar
ranged so a PONCE kept moist with water

Many p~oultrymen have tried the So

degrees of success. The plan consists OF
placing the fowls in a run OF rather linn

food as possible and yet sustain life for
two weeks. The writer tried the plan for
the second season last year and with sat

share. AT the end OF two weeks the hens
were again fed literally mi on the usual

made In August and In four weeks most Of
the Leghorns had their new stock OF

laying again. There Is enough in the plan

Give the frees q chance

On nearly every farm there are several
acres OF ground deemed hardly worth re-
claiming, yet much of this soil lis sufi-
GENTLY strong to make a fair growth OF
trees with little or no Expense. One hard
ly realizes how readily the native trees
grow until something calls their attention
to 1t. The writer has had much to do with
growing trees In the nursery, yet until
this summer did not realize how readily
the seed of the well known sugar maple
sprouts. A number OF pods were blown
from a near by maple and brok apart
by a small boy Of an investigative turn Of
mind. After satisfying his curiosity the
pods were thrown lightly aside. Some Of
the seeds came In contact with the soil
and last week four miniature maple trees
some five inches high were found grow
ing nicely. In sections OF the country are
located nurserymen who make a business
of supplying small seedlings OF native
trees n at a price so low 1t is a shame
that there is not a grove OF trees on every
farm in this country. The time is not far
distant when there will be a great cry
over the forestless sections OF the country
and we will probably import the lumber
necessary to build houses and make furni-
ture when by little planting each year this
disaster would be avoided. DO your share,

TO be wondered at when these young peo-
pie hear and read OF what is going on IN

seems unhearable to them especially when

Uncle Toms

Women as Home Wreckers.

Some one has said that Uncle Tom was
too severe on the women, and men were
mostly to blame for the many unhappy
homes. Law me! Your old Uncle has
lived long enough to find out few things
ABOUT life, especially women and men and
! am too old to use fattery toward any one.
Who ever heard Of man quitting bone
who had gentle, loving wife? never
did. Search the whole civilized world
over and see il am not right \ man
leave gentle, loving wife? Never. Why
men glory in women, they love them and
will die for them and all that, but some
times he finds it mighty hard to live with
the devils sister, these unlovng, quarrel
some kind without any affection in their
nature toward their husband | don't won
der at some men seeking enjoyment at
places other than home. ! don't wonder
at the power and influence another woman
can exercise over him when his wife re-
fuses to love. Women may whine and
twist and dodge all they please but dads
the fellow that suffers most, Men are not
habitually dishonorable to women. They
would protect them with their lives; they
stand like a rock in the defense of woman's
honor. But oh me, is not cupid becoming
rag time god. How often do young cir Is
give men the privilege of lover and say 80
lust 90 with him to have good time,
and with men its getting to be the same
way. Rag-tme love makes great deal OF
sorrow. Rag.time firts, rag-time beaus
lead to rag-time homes, 1t is, increasing
the divorce list daily, making matrimony
a cheap article, causing men and women to
lose their reycrance for the hottest institu-
ton known among them, and striking at
the home, the heart of the nation. God
and all the world loves lover and cupid
must not be delhroned and allowed to be-
come rag-time thing. This rag-timc dis
ease is raging in the cities and penetrating
