CAN YOU GROW GOOD GRAIN?

1t may not be generally known that
NEARLY all secdsmen are obliged to have "a
portion of their seeds grown for them just
,as many breeders of fancy poultry engage
farmers TO care for their young stock. A
progressive farmer in New York was an
5cxpcrt grower of potatoes and for many
years grew nearly a hundred acres of po-
tatocs for seed on contract for one of the
large seedsmen in another state. This
is now in business for himself, max
ing a specially OF seed potatoes. If one
is an expert in growing some particular
crop 1t will pay TO correspond with some
reputable scotsman near by and sec IL an
arrangement cannot be made to grow
some of his seed for him. Generally an
arrangement can be made which will be
much more profitable thar growing the
same crop for the open market. Do not.
however, make this proposition unless you
are prepared to growsthe best and deliver
1t as pure as possible.

Pail Mall MagaZine: 1t is an unspoxen
law that you should not only tip your
| friends servants, but allow them to tip
/ yours. The tips given to private servants
vary in amount, sometimes according to
the number of servants, and often ac-
cording to the quality of the guests. The
nouveau richie, for instance, will give the
| gamekeeper five pounds, or even ten,
thereby making matters very uncomfort-
able for a better sportsman, less endowed,
who follows after him..
Young girls should only tip the house
maid and the parlor maid, If there be one.
No young girl is expected to tip the coach
man or the butler, although she would
naturally give the groom something If she
has dome any riding. A bachelor of my
acquaintance explained that his method
of tipping was conducted on the s~trictest
business lines.
Il always give the same amount he
said, wherever l stay.

ants, then / make it 10 shillings. ] also
give 10 shillings to the under game keeper,
9 shillings to the man who carries my gun
and 5 shillings to the man who cleans it.
These figures vary, of course. according
to the number of keepers, etc., my friends
have. One pound is enough for a weeks

ITO the coachman who has driven me to

5 shillings if he has driven me anywhere

and ii is plain to see that indigestion is at
the bottom of the trouble, due to too lit
tie exercise and fairly heavy feeding. 1t
Is not a good plan to cut down the ration
much, especially when in Il few weeks the

a comfortable stall will do more for them

MUSLIN IN PLACE OF GLASS.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the use OF oiled muslin in place of glass
in the poultry house. There is no doubt
but what this can be substituted to adj
vantage where a house has too much glass
AS many of them have. For example, all
of us are familiar with the poultry house
front built on a slant and consisting en-
tlitIN Oh blaSS 1lu tIe necessary Itd1Ho
work to hold 1t. In such cases We think
every other section of muslin would be an
advantage. The house would still be Ugh
enough, and at night would be much
warmer with a smaller area of glass. In
tie small house where one window OF
moderate size furnishes the light it would
not be advisable to substitute muslin for
glass. After all the best use for the mus
In is to place ii on poles and llang over
the opening in the scratching shed. 1t
Keeps out the wind and cold. and with the
help of a single window of glass In the
side, lets in enough light TO make the
fowls cohtentcd and happy AS they scratch
through the chaff. II one Is in a cold
climate and the poultry house is lighted
only BY a small window II is an excellent
plan to cut In q. second window and cover
the frame with a. double thickness of oiled
muslin. In this manner additional light
is obtained without exposing the house TO
moro cold.

FARMERS AS POULTRY FANclERs

TNnm no 40 FAINSiGno
One serious mistake made by farmers
who start the poultry business is the idea
they have of raising eggs and stock to sell
at enormous prices. Don't try 1t for dis
appointment Will generally be the result.
If one Is skiliful In handling poultry and
fond of the work there is a good big liv-
ing to be made in supplying the eggs and
the carcass market, leaving the raising of
fancy stock to those whose years of eX-
perience will enable them to&do it sue
1cessfully. The increase In consumption of
eggs and poultry has grown wonderfully,
especially since poultry may be bought by
the consumer as cheap Or cheaper than
beef. If farmers would only realize the
advantage they have In range and the
pace to grow the feed for the poultry.
more of them would take up the industry.
