CALLS FOR YARD OF MILK.
Customer Tells Dairyman That Prod

POULTRY YARD POINTERS.

Good stock Is always in demand; in
feror stock must be sold for an infe-
rior price.
A small flock of fowls, carefully han
died, will pay a better profit than a
large flock carelessly kept.
Color or markings do not cut much
figure when IT comes to selecting q
breed for practical purposes.
When supplying private customers
with eggs always sort them both as to
color and size. They will look better
and will bring better price.
The poultryman who lives near .
creamery or a dairy where he can get
skim milk for his fowls is in luck. 1t
is an excellent feed for them and Is
especially valuable to use in mixing
the mashes. Buttermilk Is also good.
In culling the flock 1t is good plan
to save the hens that proved exception
ally good sttters and mothers this sea-
son, as the cost of their keeping will
be more than offset by their service

egg during the year.-Commercial

WORK FOR YOUNG HORSES
Many Mistakes Are Made in This Di-
rection by Farmers Who Ought
to Know Better.

1t may be considered that a horse is
fairly termed young until it is eight
years old, and after that it ought to
be expected to accomplish any reason
able amount of work asked of it with
out injury. | often think we are in
clined to ask too much of your young
horses; we work them too hard with the
same effect that working children too
hard has: 1t stunts their growth and
prevents them from accomplishing what
they should when they reach maturity.
Feeding young horses is one of the Sc
rious problems of farm work and one
which each horse owner must, largely,
work out for himself.
We have found it not only economical
but good policy to fed the young horse
a moderate quantity of corn, about one
fifth of the ration but we always feed
cracked corn and thus avoid any serious
bowel troubles. However, we learned
after some years Of experimenting that
to get the best results from feeding a
ration in which cracked corn was used
we must feed more or less succulent
food. For this purpose We have used
root crops, a moderate amount Of silage
or Stoned clover hay, and had the best
results from the root crops. During the
summer we always permit the young
horses to get enough grass to supply the
green food needed to keep them in good
ondition.-American Tribune.

CHRISTIANS IN JAP DIET.
Although Only Seven of Them, They
Possess Influence Beyond
Their Numbers.

The whole number Of members OF
the Japanese diet is 379, and Of them
seven are Christians, including one
Baptist, two Congregationalists and
four Methodists. The Christian repre-
sentation is thus in a minority of / to
"a, but 1t Is influential beyond that pro-
portion. In the population at large
there is, roughly speaking, only one
Christian in 100000 little leaven in a
great mass, but its effect is visible and
recognized even by those who are not
nominally Christians. In old Japan,
Shintoism. Buddhism and Confucianism
all encouraged absolutism and feudal-
ism, while constitutional government,
representative institutions and local
self-governmen are fruits of Christian
civilization. 1t is favored by good
many who make no open profession Of
It, and is particularly valued as an in
strument of social and moral reforms
1t has long road % travel in that coun-
try before 1t satisfies the desires of its
propagandists, but the road Is open,
and there is no opposition worth speak
ing of, but rather spirit of receptivity
and encouragement.

RICH MAcHlNIST A REALITY
Once Abhorrent to Men of Fashion,
Millionaires Are Now Proud
of Skill in That Line.

Cincinnati Enquirer reporter, "machin-
cry was abhorrent to men of fashion.

wheels, and the ugly odor Of Oil were
things unknown in good society. Con
slider the change. The motor car, the
naphtha launch, the automobile boat and

aire to-day to be wise about spark plugs,
oil cups and battery wires as 1t was need
full In the past for him to be wise about
cobs, hackneys and high-steppers. Ma
chinery plays so big part in the luxur-

is proud Of being a good machinist, Just
as he would have been proud ten years
ago Of being good fencer or a good
horseback rider"

About Unfinished Sections.

After the honey flow has stopped the
unfinished sections that only have a
little honey in them will soon be
cleaned up by the bees without destroy
ing the comb, II covered up near the
hives, leaving room for only one bee
to go in or out. When given a larger
entrance they destroy the combs, which
are worth saving for starters next sea-
son. When there are many sections
not capped over, or half filled or more,
they may be sold at reduced price, or
converted into liquid honey by melt
ing slowly. After cooling remove the
cake of wax. A warm. dry, sunny place
where the temperature stays around the
nineties is an ideal place for storing
honey. Cold and dampness cause honey
to become watery and sour.-Ohio

CLEVER HENS OF OREGON.
Their Owner Says They Can Tell
Drones from Working Bees and
Never Make a Mistake.

Of hens and chickens by w. H. Pen
ming, the most extensive producer Of
honey in the alfalfa region about On

count of their having developed fac

ing bee and drone, which enables
him to secure much larger yield OF
honey from his 500 hives, as his hens
keep the number of lazy, idle drones,
who are not armed with stings, but
who have good appetites, reduced to
minimum, and more cells are filled and
sealed daily by the busy workers.
Mr. Penning told the Portland Orc
gonian the story of the wonderful de-
velopment of his hens, which are al
lowed to run at large among his bee
hives. and who, like many other
"birds," have a fondness for bees,
bugs, grasshoppers and other insects.
but which, generally speaking, have
learned to leave bees entirely alone.
having In their early attempts at
swallowing them found that pain and
danger lurked in the stings with which
most of them are armed. Within the
past year or two he has noticed his
hens peeking into the entrances OF
hives and occasionally selling bee.
which, after placing on the ground
and examining critically, they would
sometimes swallow and sometimes al
low to fly away.
This resulted in a careful investiga-
ton by him of the strange action or
the hens, and he soon found that the
fowls had learned to distinguish the
stingless and useless drones from the
armed working bees, and that in con-
seqence the number of eaters, but
non-producers of honey was being
kept within reasonable limits. He has
also discovered that this season he
old hens have taught their chickens
how 10 distinguish between the two
classes of bees. He believes that no
other fowls have ever acquired this
valuable knowledge. and has not
found anyone who has ever heard OF
such knowledge being displayed oy
any fowl or bird. He Is greatly de-
lighted at his discovery, for 1t means
many dollars in his pocket, and his
discovery is now published for the in
formation of all apiarists, students OF
entomology and the public in general.

LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Glass.

When a simple change Of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, ILL.,,
says: "After being afflicted for years
with nervousness and heart trouble. /
received a shock four years ago that
left me in such condition that my
life was despaired of. could get no
relief from doctors nor from the num-
berless heart and nerve medicines
tried because I didn't know that the
coffee was daily putting me back more
than the Drs. could put me ahead.
Finally at the request Of friend
left of coffee and began the use OF
Postum and against my convictions I
gradually improved in health until for
the past or 8 months have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking. weakening
spells Of heart trouble.
my troubles all came from the use
Of coffee which. 1 drunk from childhood
and yet they disappeared when I quit
coffee and took up the use of Postum"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle

Many people marvel at the effects Of
leaving of coffee and drinking Postum
but there is nothing marvellous about
it-only common sense.
Coffee Is a destroyer-Postum is
febuilder. That's the reason.

The Best Fertilizer Known.

Many scientists and investigating
farmers know that sheep manure Is the
greatest fertilizer that the farm pro-
duces. Some farms are kept up by
sheep and stable manure, no CONNER
cial fertilizer being deemed necessary.
A western farmer who has been fatten-
ing lambs for market for many years
says the fertilizer produced by his
hocks has increased the producing pow
er of his land from one-third to one
half. He believes It would pay to keep
sheep for their value as fertilizer alone.

American Prunes for Europe.

Another article which has recently
begun to figure conspicuously in our
list OF exports is the common and de-
spised prune. The fact that prunes and
dried apples are going to Europe does
not necessarily mean that American
boarding houses are being improved,
though possibly there rs something Of
that sort on foot, too. In the case Of
the prunes 1t means that American
production (almost exclusively on the
Pacific slope) has grown enormously,
and that the methods of drying and
handling the product have been go
much improved that now the prunes
can be shipped even to France and Ger
many to compete at home with our
original source Of supply.

Scrubs Eat Their Heads or.

That scrub animals will waste large
amounts of feedstuffs, was shown In
feeding test conducted at the Ten
nessee station. A bunch of animals Of
good breed and antecedents were fed
for beef and gained two and half
pounds per day. while so-called
scrubs" under the. same conditions
gained only one and a half pounds, a
difference Of one pound per day. The
effect of breeding. blood and conforma-
ton is instanced In another feeding test
where certain beef steers gained only
45 pounds in 60 days, while others un-
der similar conditions gained 125
pounds in the same period. This goes
to show that 1t does not pay to feed a
poor animal Weed out the scrubs"
