There are few Industries less like

offer a fairer return for well self
directed labor, than the raising of
poultry on a moderate scale. Eggs
and chickens will ever be in demand.

the poor. appreciate and enjoy them;

ly be source of continuous profit.
OF course this profit will greatly de-
pend upon the cost of food and the
care and attention given them. I al
ways feed variety of food to my
poultry; corn. wheat and oats with
plenty Of green food, will surely in
crease the laying as well as the fat

ever I have tried 1t the vetch has
done well without soil or seed inocu-

have apparently demonstrated that it
will grow much more vigorously
when SO treated. It is one Of the

to 1t is that seed is very expensive.
Now, l cannot tell you whether al
falfa would follow vetch BEAUTIFULLY

treatment with micro organisms. l
imagine not, but it would be a very
simple matter to. treat the seed, and
this you could do in the case of both
vetch and alfalfa by securing a pack

The food value of one carrot Is very
small indeed; but one carrot a day
will go far toward keering horse
in thrifty condition. For milk
cows, too. they are excellent, keep.
ing up the appetite, toning up the d.
gestive organs and increasing the
flow of milk. They will be found
especially valuable to the farmer
who has who has only dry feed for
his cows during the winter. They
should be sown thickly in rows only
far enough apart to permit of cult.
walton with horses as soon as the
ground is thoroughly warm. A rich,
loose. loamy soil Is the best, and
there is little danger of its being too
rich. If 1t can be well MANFRED a
month or SO before planting-the fall
before is still better-and the ma
nure thoroughly mixed with the soil,
it will go far toward assuring a good
yield. IL manure Is not available
generous quantity of fertilizer can be
probably used. The following for
mpla is recommended: Nitrogen 3
per cent, available phosphoric acid
8 per cent. potash 5 per cent, at the
rate Of 500 or 600 pounds per acre.
1t is well to use plenty Of seed so az
to insure a good stand. Two or three
pounds are said to be sufficient for
an acre. Three or four ounces will
plant a patch large enough for a
trial. After the plants have come up
well they should be thinned out to
three or four inches apart. It is
sometimes necessary to make two
trimmings. The thinning and the
first cultivation are likely to be
rather tedious, as the young plants
are very delicate. After they get
started cultivation is comparatively
easy, all that is necessary being to
keep the weeds down and the top of
the soil loose and mellow.-The Eni-
tomist.

More delighted than ever, the audi

out of his seat and left the theater in
disgust.

BRREAKING THE COLT.

The breaking of a colt is often
times done in vicious and brutal
manner which often ruins the ami

catch and handle them when quite

will never forget this kind treatment
in his earlier days. and when he is
being broken to harness colt ham
died in this manner will be far less
troublesome.

seed an important matter. This Is
one Of the earliest seeds to be sown
In the spring and therefore the pur-

needing early attention. 1t is well
to take time by the forelock, says
Practical Farmer, and get your
clover seed on hand ready for SOW

when re.cleaned seed is selling for
81 or more, the re-cleaned seed is
always the lowest in price of the
pure seeds that are in the bushel,
and, being clean, do not provide for
filling your land with weeds. The
best way to buy clover seed is to
start early and get samples from the
dealers. Examine these samples
closely and sort out all impurities in
the shape of weed seeds and trash,
and then compare the samples. Get
seeds that are clear of weed seeds,
II you have to pay double price for
them. We are. frequently called
upon to advise how to get rid of

plantain, two weeds that have gotten

farms so infested with the narrow

seed, and get guarantee from the
dealer that the seed shall come up to

clover seed. You will need magni-

weed seeds and authorizations, and it
will pay to learn the various seeds
and their appearance. Then buy
your clover seed from first class men
who have made reputation for good
seed, and who are not going to sac

best seed except at the best price,
for 1t is the worst sort Of extrava-
gance to buy low priced seed, espe-
t.ially Of clover and grass.

Of the difference IN cows. Such Illus

so common that every man knows that
