HUNTS FOR SMALL GARDENS.

NY first advice will be large
Don't" Don't plant anything in
hills. Plant level and evenly. Corn,
beans, cucumbers-all should be
planted level and at an even depth In
each row, and not in hills. The old
fashioned method of forming hill
and then planting corn in it should
be abandoned. Beans should be
planted level also, and the line should
be even SO that each bean seed will
have the same depth. AS soon as the
seed comes up the hoeing should be-
gin. There should be three boeings.

best disinfectants for the poultry
yard.
Ducks may be advantageously
raised on many farms where they
have never yet been tried.
Young geese are not good breeders.
Goose eggs do not hatch well when
shipped quite a distance.
Young ducks should be kept away
from swimming water until they are
well feathered.
A goose yields about 81 year in
feathers, the market price being
about 40 to so cents a pound.
Soft shelled eggs are seldom found
where hens are supplied with cracked
bone or small bits o. oyster shells.
Poultry is raised on 1873 per cent
of the farms in the United States. 1t
would be interesting to know what
per cent use high grade fowls.
Chicks raised in late spring and
midsummer can be made to lay by
February If they are given some meat
in their daily ration.
Many failures with incubators are
due largely to ignorance in those try
ing to run them. In this. as in every
thing else, person must learn how.
Above all things look out for lice
and mites. These are the great enc
mics of our poultry and destroy more
birds, old and young, than any dis
ease.
Avoid high perches. They cause
humble foot and other injuries.
Breast bones are often injured by
having round perches. They should
be fiat.
Cleanliness is the keynote of
health. Nothing will breed sickness
SO quickly as filth, and it is very easy
to have the henhouse become filthy.
The government census for 1904
gave the following poultry figures for
guinea hens, 333.59S,0S5; turkeys,
6,599,367; geese, 5,676,S6S, and ducks.

try raised in 1899. $136,S91,S7
The breeding birds should not be
kept in the same flock with the ones
that are being fitted for market.
After certain age the birds that are
to be fattened should be separated
from the others.

horse, means horse that when he is
in good condition weighs 1900 pounds

TIPS TO TOILERS

Diplomacy will often succeed where
force will fall
Scandals tongue will wither if ears
are turned away.
The man who hunts for trouble never
has to follow a long trail.
A brotherly boost is often worth a
whole lot of sisterly sympathy.
Health may be wealth, but it takes
industry to convert it into cash.
A good conscience it the testimony
of good life and the reward of it.
1t isn't the wild oats man sows
that are so bad for; it's tire rye.
Being men, we should interest our
selves in men more than anything else.
Many a man who takes a ''horn''
finds himself coming out at the small
end.
The labor movement is more a ques-
ton Of humanity than the almighty
dollar.
Unless a man has scored at least
one failure he is unable to appreciate
success.
Good qualities like good steel knives,
grow dull of edge unless they are
used.
You cannot expect the world to have
a good opinion of you unless you set
the example.
A good many of the difficulties we
! complain Of are difficulties only be-
cause we complain.
The great demand Of the hour is men
with brains and backbone.
The labor movement needs as leader
