Mr.. Newman certainly had very

shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstnately it resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New

ach troubles combined with great weak

FOWLS FOR THE FARMERS WIFE

This may seem strange ADVICE from
poultryman of twenty odd years expert
encc but we really think it is the best
thing that nine out of ten farmers could
do particularly when they have the idea.
so many of them have. that fowls are not
worth ihc room they take up. Just as III
flower raising, a woman can get more out
of flock of poultry than a man and do 1t
with less effort and with less training.
Why this is SO IS probably because she
gives the necessary care to the essential
details Just as she does in raising tender
plants 1t is not to lie inferred that farm
crs cannot succeed with poultry, for they
can if they are willing to give the bust
ness attention, but if not they should turn
it over TO the wife and daughters. How
ever bear in mind that the ladies should
not be expected to do the dirty work of
poultry raising: have some of the men DO
this in return for the extra eggs they
will have TO eat This disagrecable part Of
the work taken out of the business and
the women given some decent stock as d
| founda ton, they will succeed ninety-nne

MARKETING CLEAN EGGS.

Recently the statement was made by
one who is supposed to be an authority
that water on the egg shall hastens de-
composition. In other words he claims
that the shell of an c. should never be
washed for it will absorb enough moisture
to hasten its spelling. After many years
of marketing eggs the writer cannot Who'll
ly agree with this statement. 1t is prob
ably true that If egg was allowed to
! soak in water for even five minutes its
keeping qualities would be impaired but
that washing an egg seriously injuries IT is
nonsense Those who market eggs to
| critical customers know that sOilcd eggs
are far from salabc Look over the eggs
when they come to the house and with a.
cloth wipe them clean using another cloth
which is dry to polish the shell There is
! no danger that this will injure the keeping
quality of the egg. Only a week ago
when in the store of a large commission

they were soilcd. The commission man

GINSENG A THING OF THE PAST

For several years we have repeatedly
urged farmers to go slow on ginseng,
pointing out that the trade in the root was
wholly through the Chinese and that there
was some question as to how they would
look upon the cultivated crop. lpuuiry
among those who d, al in the roots in New
York city reveals the fact that the demand
has steadily fallen off and lately has
sumpcd badly because. II is claimed the
Chinese say the cultivated root does not
possess the virtues of the wild root. BE
this as IL may the fact remains that If
there ever was any great amount of money
to be made in growing ginseng the day
has gone by. Dealers do not care to have
supplies shipped TO them, for they have
iittlc or no call for so that the stuff IS
begging for a market AS the trade in 1t is
confined wholly to Chinese there is no
hope OF finding other outlets. All one can
do is to lay the ginseng away with the
Belgian hare and label them crazes that
have died out. The farmers who have
kept to the corn and potato crop or to any
| other crop which has yielded fair returns
has made more money than the grower Of

EcoNoMIzINe ON SEEDS.

Regular readers Of this department know
the opinion of the writer on the question
of cheap seeds and particularly when seeds
are bought al low price from seedsmcn
with no particular reputation. Such seeds
are generally worth even less than Is pald
for them because there is the loss, partial
or total of the crop which cannot be COM
puted. 1t is considered by those who are
in "a position to know that If the soil is
capablc of producing a good crop 1t would
be cheaper in the end to pay double the
regular prices for seeds than to take the
risk of buying seeds even trihe less in
price. Sometimes one may ccOnOmlZe TO
advantage by the proper selection OF SEEDS,
as for example when red clover Is to be
seeded some money may be saved by buy
ing onc-third the quantity of alsikc and
two thirds of red clover seed. The com
bination crop is more desirable than all
red clover which is selling this spring
at from 50 to $40 a bushel for first grade
seed Better a smaller area Of any one

the cheap seeds are used for the chances

CARING FOR 1hE BOAR.

Anyone who starts out to raise hogs
with the idea of goodly profit in mind
must needs pay some attention TO the boar,
Admitting all there is in the Importance
of having good females upon which TO
build up the herd. a poor boar or a good
boar poorly cared for will offset any value
there is in the high grade females: per-
haps not at first but surely after season
or two the difference will be noted. Money
invested in a good boar is money we'll
invested if the animal is properly cared
for and proper care means proper food, Il
clean comfortable pen by himself and a
yard of sufficient area to give him needed
exercise. The boar should be treated
kindly of course but don't try to make a
pet of him for he cannot be trusted. See
that he is kept away from the hogs cN-
ccpt at breeding season and feed .hlll SO
that he will be fairly plump, but never fat;

FEEDING ALFALFA HAY.

While we believe alfalfa to be all that
is claimed for it, no, one should believe Tor
a moment that it is q perfect food Tor
stock and for pasture: it is not always a
safe food, although horses do not seem to
be injured by feeding from it while green.
For COWS and sheep alfalfa has its best
value when fed as hay in connection with
some other rougEagc. 1t is rich in protein
hence gives the feeder an opportunity to
feed protein much more cheapy than in
any grain. AS pasture for hogs al1alla
is all that is claimed for 1t, although, like
rape. it gives the best results when 1t IS
alternated with some other pasture. II
the soil is in good condition, that It, has
been properly inoculated for alfalfa, about
fifteen pounds of seed to the acre is suf-
licient. The seed should be clean, how
ever, and particularly free from dodder.
which is one of the worst enemies OF the
alfalfa plant A number of scedsmen are
Offering special selected seed tprobably
seed which has been cleaned with unusual
care at an advanced price, and 1t will pay
to buy this better seed. Don't expect a
crop the first season but be content with
cutting ii so as to destroy the various
weeds and prevent them from going to
seed The second season one may expect
good results.
