Mark the Wint.r Layers.

Al this time of year begin to note
the fowls that are doing most of the
laying. and later mark them so that
eggs from them can be secured in the
spring when the Matching operations
begin. In the hit-or-miss policy usu-
ally followed, more eggs are set from
hens that do the bulk of their laying
in the spring than those that do most
of their laying in the winter. BY
spring the heavy winter layers are
perhaps producing little. and therefore
the proportion of their eggs to the
whole lot is small. We say perhaps"
because there are few reliable statis-
tics on the subject, and these are not
of general nature. The farmer must
rely on himself as to the means by
which lie can secure and keep track
of the best winter layers.

To Serve Mayonna,se.

good idea for serving tartar sauce
or mayonnaise is to put it in a little
lemon basket"-that is, half lemon
nearly cleaned out and then filled with
the sauce. One of these should go to
each guest. The great advantage in
this is that the sauce does not get
melted by being put on the hot plate
with the fish. fried oysters. etc. II
the fish is served on platter it may
be surrounded with these little lemon
baskets" If it is served from the
pantry a lemon basket" should be
placed on each plate.-Harper's Bazaar.

We herewith illustrate clover that
has been much talked about, during
the last few years. 1t was imported
some years ago. an initial consign-
ment coming from Japan to Charles
ton, South Carolina. The scientist
calls it Lespedeza strata. 1t is a
summer growing plant that thrives on
light soils. After its introduction in
to the Carolinas it spread with great
rapidity. the seed being carried by
the birds. 1t is not likely to thrive
north of the Ohio river if left to itself.
If it is grown at all further north, it
will have to be sown in the spring,
with the certainty that it will kill out
in the winter. Even then it may prove
useful in some locations. just as is
the case with crimson clover.
It is now widely distributed
throughout the South. being reported

Cats and Chickens.

poultry paper says, 'In spite OF
what cat owners and cat lovers may
say. every cat sooner or later will
yield to temptation and kill chicks;
not at home perhaps, but at sore
neighbours"
In the main the above is true, but
there are exceptions. 1t is not true
that every cat will kill chickens, even
the neighbor's chickens. The editor
of this column once knew q tom cat
that was an inveterate destroyer of
bird life. He would lie in the meadow
grass and leap up after the swallows
as they skinned near the grass for
bugs. Frequently he was seen MUNICH
ing a fat bird that he had caught. But
he never touched chicks.
1t was the custom on that farm to
tie a string to the leg of mother biddy
and tie the other end to a stake driv-
en- in the ground. A barrel turned
down on it's side served as a home
for the brood. What was done with
one brood was done with all the
broods. This gave the chicks full run
of the lawn. and gave the cats full op-
portunity to catch them.
From one to four cats were always
kept about the farm. and the writer
never knew of a cat catching a chick.
But of the farm cats none were bird
catchers except the old tom-cat men
toned.
One day this cat was seen coming
up the road from the direction of a
neighbor's, and, to the surprise of the
writer, he had a young chicken in his
mouth. He had evidently caught it
in the open road in front of the neigh
boris house. The writer was further
astonished when he saw the cat turn
into his own yard, walk up to a
brood of chicks and deposit the new
chick among them unframed. The
writer took the chick back to its
owner.
Now, the intelligence of that cat
was certainly unusual. He was either
stealing from the neighbor for the
benefit of his owner or he had found
the chick in the road and imagined it
had strayed away. and forthwith re-
turned the chick to the place where
he thought it belonged. The latter
supposition is the more plausible one.
1t seems to be fact that cats raised
on the farm soon get the idea into
their heads that chicks are not lawful
prey like rats. mice and wild birds.

as far west as Texas. When 1t first
appears in a community It has a sali-
waiting effect on horses, but later that
effect disappears. either because the
animals get used to it or because 1t ex-
hausts something in the soil that
causes the salvation. The stockmen
of the South have come to recognize
this as a valuable forage plant. even
though 1t is a small grower.
Seed should be sown late in the
spring after the ground has become
warm. The land should be well pre-
pared. as . it must be for all small
seeds. II the soil has been covered
with timber in the past the chances
for the success of the lespedeza are
improved. The seed obtainable at the
present time is unhulled and there
fore from one to two pecks per acre
must be used. The plant seeds the
ground abundantly and where the
climate is not too cold the seeding
will be continued from year to year.

Disease In Potatoes.

If an Irish potato in its rotting state
is left on the plot of land where it
grew this year. the garden of that dis
ease will remain in the soil all the
winter and be ready to impart the
same disease to the potatoes next
year. The Agriculturist advises its
patrons to go over their potato lands
and have all the decaying or scabby
potatoes gathered up and destroyed.
Disease will spread among plants as
readily as smallpox among people.

leaving the Tree to Nature.

Every once in awhile we find a man
that believes in leaving fruit trees
alone. permitting nature to do as she
wishes to with them. He generally
says that the sprouts on trees, espe-
cially the water sprouts should not
be cut off. We think that If this man
had to raise grapes he would get
very few of them.
Nature does not have to be fed and
clothed, and therefore is not con-
cerned with increasing the fruitfulness
of trees and plants beyond the point
where they will propagate themselves.
But man has greater needs and forces
the tree and plants to stop producing
in one direction and go to producing
in another. The great fruitfulness of
trees cared for by man Is merely due
to the diversion of growth forces from
one direction to another. A tree that
is planted and cared for by man does
not take in more nourishment than
does another tree that Is left TO the
direction of nature. But the nourish-
ment that is taken In is made to go
into the formation of things man can
eat rather than into the formation of
wood and leaves. which he cannot
eat.
The Creator has placed In the
hands of man the power of directing
the processes of nature to a consider
able extent. Man prunes tree only
to make it expend its energies in the
fruit buds and so gives him more
fruit. We should not leave things to
nature. for in the main nature cares
nothing for us.
There is no moral reason why man
should follow the leadings OF nature
His own intelligence is not thing to
be lightly set aside.
