PRINCE STARTS OLD
QUERY WHO'S WH02'

the Question of Lead

Prince Louis OF Battenberg may not
know It, but he is a trouble-maker.
Al least that is the terrible reallxa-
tion society has come to since the
, sventful call made by His Royal High
ness upon Mrs. Aston.
Does this mean that the old contro-
wersy which rang through the byways
of society when Prince Henry honorel
the hearth OF Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bilt, jr., with his precedence In the mat
ter Of entertaining Is to be revived?
Society says the prospect looks that
way.
The social suprem macy as leader NJ
New York society which Mrs. Aston
has always claimed with u~ndisputed
right was somewhat disturbed by Prince
Heary's many favors cast upon the
house Of Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., and
his beautiful wife, who was Grace VIII
eon.
As personal representative OF the Ger
man Emperor, the visit OF Prince
Henry to the home OF the Cor
nellus Vandsi'Jllts, his attendance
at the exclusive and socially i'm

trees while gnawing tho bark under the
snow. This is prevented by removing
the hay in the fall or by tramping the
snow down hard so the mice cannot get
to the bark.
One difficulty about constant cultiva-
ton is in the danger Of too much of the
soil being washed away on land not
entirely level. The most successful
growers now cultivate through the
growing period each season and by mid
summer sow the land.to clover or other
crop to hold the soil and to add to the
humus so necessary to a perfect soil con-
dition. Leguminous crops of any kind
will improve the land If they are plowed
in the following spring before much
growth is made.
If one will only learn how to grow
good apples, and will handle them care
fully, keep them till wanted in the mar
ket, and then will be perfectly honest in
packing so that dealers can dare to buy
without seeing the fruit, knowing what
the reputation is from past experience,
then there is most surely wide opening
in spite of the low prices apples of Or
dinary quality sometimes bring in the
so-called bearing years. Nearly the
whole of New England is within the
apple belt where the best looking and
highest favored fruit can be grown, but
there is still much chance for selection
of soil and location. The apple is still
worthy of attention by those who will
study its equirements.-A. w. Cheever

If so situated that the poultry could
not run at large we should keep some of
the larger breeds that are not disposed
to fiy, and a five-fOot fence would suf-
fee to keep them in bonds.
What if the buyer pays only 80 much
per head for chickens? Look up another
buyer. The writer's surplus brought
over fifty per head alive last winter,
but they were fat. Always somebody
to buy fat ones.
What will they pay for feed used in
fattening? As good price as hogs. It's
strange that a man will feed fifty cent

sheep, and let lot of eight or ten cent
chickens 90 to market thin-but he will.

A Square Meal.
THREE TIMES A DAY NOT TOO OFTEN TO
FEED HENS IN SUMMER.

The laying hen works without wages.
She has her board only, and often a
ScTimped measure of that. | might say
that in a majority of cases the feed is
not so much as she would eat and make
good use of. Her fare is too often COM
posed of prison rations instead of the
generous measure that the farm usually
affords. As result she limits the egg
product very closely sometimes, so that
prices run high, and the occasional one
who feeds literally and regularly, be-
sides looking after other necessary
things about the flock, reaps rich re-
ward.
The farmer is careful to feed his
horses as often as he does himself and as
literally, yet they can give nothing but
labor in return, and that only when a
man puts his labor along with it. The
result of the labor of the horse will not
be realized by the owner under about
six months. He has to give that much
credit and run the chance of having his
crops ruined or damaged by weather
conditions. The cost of good horse
would equal that of 200 to 800 good hens,
and the feed of the horse would keep
fifty of them in laying condition.
In the laying season the hen pays the
next day for her feed, and adds 100 to
200 per cent to its cost as interest on
her value-50 cents. How much is the
interest on So cents for one day? Here
is a problem for the boy or girl who is
trying to master this portion of arithme-
tic. Continued labor is not required in
order to obtain an income from the
hen.
Notwithstanding these things in her
favor, she is seldom given more than
one meal day, especially when grass is
to be had and other things that she may
"pick up" These things that the hen
may gather in her rambles about the
place serve only as condiments, while
the substantial food must come from the
owners bin. A man would not think
of hiring man and have him skip the
noon meal, nor would he ask him to eat
of the dressings and relish dishes, and
let the bread, meat and potatoes alone.
Hens are by nature continuous feeders,
and the three-meal-a-day system comes
as near meeting the natural require
ments as any except keeping a supply
constantly before them. am inclined
to think the latter plan is preferable to
the former, as the crop is at no time
gorged with food. 1 have seen excellent
results from keeping cracked corn con-
stantly before laying hens.

The average small breeder will find
greater profit and less risk in breeding
and raising fine roadsters and first
class carriage horses than any other
class. If he uses care in the selection
of his mares and the stations with
which to mate them, some that he
breeds for roadsters and carriage horses
will have speed enough to bring good
prices.

Practical Dairy Points.

You may have confidence in any
other live stock on the place, but you
should never have any faith in the
promises of bull. The dangerous bulls
are those with whom familiarity of the
farmer, or farmers boys, breeds con-
tempt. Some day in a moment of un,
governed passion he will realize his
power and then there is danger of a
funeral.
A wholesale dissatisfaction with pres
ent attainments is always and at all
times a condition precedent to advance.
ment and improvement. The man who
thinks he is doing about as well as the
average of his neighbors and is there
with content, is not the stuff that pro-
gressive dairymen, farmers, merchants,
manufacturers, or other successful men
are made of.
1t is very important to teach the young
calf to eat at as early an age as possible,
for the calf which eats well suffers
much less at weaving time than one
which is not accustomed to depend up.
on itself to any extent. Oats, either
whole or ground, or mixture of oats
and oil cake, make an excellent food for
the>young calf at this time. 1t should
also be encouraged to eat more clover
hay and few roots.
The breeder values the animal not
merely for his Individual price, but for
his power to transmit his useful quail
ties to future generations, and therefore
an animal with every evidence in his
appearance, as well as in his breeding,
of strong prepotency will be considered
of far greater value than another with
an equal number of pounds of meat OF
fine quality, but no breed character.
How much shall we fix as the value OF
such an animal? 1t is plain that he is
worth much more to the owner than to
another.
The wise and economic cattle feeder
will grow on his own land the largest
possible amount he is to feed; he will
grow as much of the nitrogenous feeds
as possible, but the corn plant will be
his main dependence for succulent win
ter feed, and in supplementing his
home grown food he will in his pur'
chase of feeding stuffs lay special stress
en- their protein content. He will buy
bran for needed mineral matter, gluten
