A POPULAR Remedy.

In the schools of Connecticut town
measures were recently taken to test
the children's eyesight. AS the doctor
finished each school he gave the prin-
cipal list of the pupils whose eyes
needed attention, and requested him
to notify the children's parents to that
effect. One boy brought home to his
father this note from the principals:
"Mr. ---, Dear Sid: 1t becomes my
duty TO inform you that your son
shows decided indications Of astigma.
tism, and his case is one that should
be attended to without delay" The
next day the father sent the following
answer; Dear Sir-Whip 1t out OF
him."

One Dollar a Year Per Hen.

The above is the popular estimate
of the cost Of feeding hen year.
At twenty-four cents a dozen, fifty
eggs should pay for the cost Of keep
ing her and the balance of the eggs
should be an Offset against the ex-
pense of sheltering and caring for
her. That some flocks do not pay
profit is due to careless management
by the owner, for whether on the
farm or in an establishment devoted
to the raising of poultry it should not
cost more than the sum mentioned to
supply the food the hen consumes
annually.
In the light of this, the reason why
some tlocks do not pay is that they
are so badly taken care Of that the
losses from diseases. rats, mites, and
preying animals and birds is very
great. We say that it costs only a
dollar to feed hen a year. On that
estimate 1t costs a man to feed 100
hens half year $50, and the fowls
do not begin to lay before that time
in most cases. Now on many farms
the farmer has lost half of his fowls
by fall and thus the food that was
put into them has been wasted. This
runs up rapidly into money and the
rest of the hens have to pay abnor'
NAL profits to make a good showing
for the flock.
If we but take an account Of the
situation we find that the mortality
among the poultry is something enor-
nous. What would we think If half
of our calves died off before they
were six months old, or If we should
habitually have steers drop down
and die or perish from the numerous
causes that cause losses in the feath'
cred fiocks?
1t has been said that we can make
profit of 81 hen easily, and so we
can on the hens that live. But the
unfortunate fact is that we make less
than nothing on the hens that die be-
fore having laid the eggs they are
supposed to lay in year.
think this is the source Of much
Of the encouragement in poultry rails
ing. However it may be said that
most of the mortality among the
fowls comes from things that can be
prevented by a little care and fore
thought.

Common White Beans.

1t is rather surprising that more
attention is not given to the growing
of the common white beans. think
that we can greatly improve on the
quality Of our beans. Why is It that
the white bean OF the West is not the
equal of the white bean Of the New
England states? have spent good
deal of time in New England, and
there they have what they call the
yellow-eyed white bean, and most
farmers in the northern part Of that
section of country are growing them.
They are nearly twice as large as the
white beans we have here. no
ticed that the farmers there planted
them on very ordinary ground and
after all the other field crops we're In.
AS to manuring, one of them said to
me that he used very little manure.
When he got around to planting the
beans the manure had been all taken
out of the barnyard except some OF
the fine stuff scattered about the
yard. This was hoed up for use on
the bean field, and with the hoeing
good deal of soil was mixed with the
manure. Then a hired man went to
work with the soil around the chop
ping block and raked up a large pile
of partly-decayed wood dust, saw dust
and the like. This was mixed with
the scraplngs from the barnyard re-
ferred to and was the only manure
put on the ground in which beans
were to be planted. The manure was
not mixed with the soil but scattered
thinly in the burrows, tramped down,
and the beans drilled upon 1t. The
crop obtained was always good. 1t
is my belief that we often manure too
heavily for the best result with white
beans.
