Keeping q Bird Record.

Nothing will pay better for the tou-
Tie taken than keeping a record OF the
different kinds of birds n sees In a
season. Al one needs is a blank note
book and che of the many good books
describing American birds and giving
colored plates Of some of the rarer
kinds.
The beginner will find that there are
anywhere from half a dozen to half a
hundred kinds that he can recognize
at sight. He should write the name
and description Of each Of these.
Then, as he adds new varieties, for
which he will always be on the look
out, he will need to refer to his bird
book and plates to identify them.
When he is pretty sure Of the name
he should write it down, with a de-
scription, not only Of the bird, but OF
it's habits as far as he has a chance
to note them, and the time and place
when seen. AS this book grows, it
will become an unfailing source of
pleasure, and boys may compare notes
about their records, as they do about
their stamp collections, and form bird
clubs.

Sheep Good Property.

A Wisconsin man interested in the
sheep and wool business says that the
reduction in sheep in this country in
the past few years make the sheep in
dustry a good safe business. He est.
mates that it will require from five to
seven years to breed up and regain this
loss. The present high price Of sheep
will induce every sheep owner to sell
off just as closely as possible. and that
is bound to keep the number down. He
says that many years ago there was
used more wool to the person in the
United States than there is to-day.
since cotton has come into such general
use, but a quarter Of a century ago
there was very little demand for NUT
ton. To-day the demand is great, and
it is on the increase right along. This,
with the shortage in the number of
sheep and the high price of wool, is
bound to make sheep raising and feed
ing profitable for several years to come.

Hothouse Beans.

String beans are not a very common
crop for forcing under glass, but fairly
successful results were obtained with
them at the Wisconsin Station. Start
ing them in pots was found to be a
waste Of time, since better results
were obtained when beans were plant
ed in hills about one foot apart each
way. Later they were thinned to stand
eighteen inches apart. The yield of
beans was increased about three times
by the use Of complete commercial
fertilizers. Neplusultra and Golden
Eyed Wax were the most productive.
It was found that fumigation with to-
bacco injured the plants, but the white
fly was readily controlled with hydro
cyanic gas, using ten ounces Of po-
tassium cyanide for six million cubic
feet Of space. The best temperature
was concluded to be about fifty to sixty
degrees at night and seventy degrees
in daytime.-American Cultivator.

Helps Handling Hogs:

For a catching yard or pen, instead
of having regular rectangular shape,
have at one corner a sharp triangular
extension, as shown in the cut. Into
this extension the hogs will rush, when
thay may be easily caught.
For loading hogs, back the wagon,
with cage on, up to the pen fence, dig
under the hind wheels a few inches to
bring the rear end and upper side of
the wagon bed wen with some plank
or rail of the pen fence. Out out this
plank or rail, leaving a space large
enough for your largest hog to pass
through. Place an inclined floor of
plank from the ground Of the pen to
the lower side Of the wagon opening,
as shown by the cut, up which to drive
the hogs. Then scatter a little corn
on the floor of the incline and also on
the floor of the wagon, start the hogs
and they will 60 up and in. No fuss,

sequently, were more perfect and
profitable. He could not travel and
see all these men, but he could read
of what they were doing, and, 10! and
behold, thirty-three per cent. was added
to his profits.
ut is the same result everywhere.
Where we find a reading, thinking
man, he is the one to whom the best
profits go. And yet, plain as is the
way, there are hundreds Of thousands
of farmers who really believe that the
less they read, the less they know, the
more profitable the farm will be to
them."-Indiana Farmer.

Fertility in Cottonseed.

C~ottonseed meal is used quite extern
sively in some sections of the country
as a fertilizer. A good grade meal will
carry about 6.S per cent. nitrogen, 30
per cent. phosphoric acid and 1.S per
cent. potash. Based upon the valua-
tons that will be used by New England
experiment stations in 1905 for COM
putting the value of commercial fertiliz-
ers, a meal Analysing as above will be
worth about 500 a ton as a fertilizer.
Notwithstanding its high value when
used directly in this way it will usually
be found more economical to use it as
a food for stock and to apply the re-
sulting manure to the land. When
used thus, from eighty to n~inety-ive
per cent. Of the nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid and practically all the
potash will be contained in the manure.

How a Minister Sailed.

When our first foreign minister ar
ranged to go to London he was re-
quested by the captain of the sailing
vessel in New York Harbor to go
aboard Immediately, according to a
writer in Success. Hastily buying a
sack of -four, three hams and a bag Of
potatoes, he hurried on board ship to
arrange with some sailor to cook his
meals, not knowing but that they
might sail at any hour. Five weeks
passed before the boat left the har-
Dor. After six weeks at sea the trav.
eler at length beheld the outlines OF
the coast Of old England.

of the Christian Church at New Sharon,
Iowa, was threatened with arrest II

The Mayor had prevented eyangelists
who were holding meeting in the town

organizations, selling Bibles without a
license. The minister went to the
Mayors Office and demonstrated. with
the result that he himself was threat

O herd of siXty-one Jersey COWS giving
milk, and who by reading and studying
his business of feeding and manage

keeping them till they are making him
thirty-three per cent. more profits. The
Dairyman with its strong and sensible
putting of things comments on this
matter as follows:
But when you talk with farmers
about increasing their profits through
a reduction of the cost of production,
and all through q better study and un-
Outstanding Of their business, they
lose all interest in the subject. That
is an end of the question that they take
no stock in whatever. Yet, strange as
it seems, it is the only end that they
have any control over.

Ears that taper are best, because bet
ter protected by the husk; and then,
too, the silk, the female part Of the
plant, remains alive longer. The rea-
