Some people set duck eggs on the
solid ground without anything at the
bottom of the nest, but this is wrong.
Should there be nothing but the earth
at the bottom of the nest when the
eggs chip the beak of the duckling
comes through the shell on to the hard
ground Out of eleven eggs there may
be two or three turned so that the beak
is on the ground, and when this is the
case the youngsters are frequently suf-
focated. When there is some hay or
something loose or porous at the bot
tom of the nest they are able to
breathe and thus do not get suffocated.
1t is possible to set the eggs on the
bare ground and every egg to hatch
out without losing single duckfing.
and it has been done, but there is a
possibility of their getting suffocated,
so 1t is far better to have the nest
properly made.

MENDlNG HINTS.
How Broken China or Glass May Be
Cemented Successfully.

In mending glass or china the pieces
should be washed with soap and water
and then carefully dried in order to re-
move any grease that may be on them.
Care must be taken not to break off
the sharp points of the fracture, for
the more irregular it is the better the
cement will adhere, says the Chicago
Tribune Warm one of the pieces and
then put the cement on the other, not in
excessive quantity, however Bring
the parts close together and contrive
to have them remain so until the ce-
ment hardens.
If the pieces are numerous it is best
to cement one piece at time, allow it
to harden and then put on another, and
SO on. In cementing all the pieces at
once the difficulty of keeping them to-
gether is increased, and when you
get them in contact at one point you
will find you have displaced them at
another.
Be sure to let the cement harden
thoroughly before you test the adhe-
sion, otherwise you may undo what
you have done. In either case the
blame belongs to you and not to the
cement. Most of the cements on sale
will be found durable if the directions
are carefully followed.
Fractured pieces in cases where the
article is not frequently used may be
mended with white coachmaker'S var
nish or wet white lead or the white Of
an egg. A good cement is made by
dissolving Russian isinglass In soft wa
ter. Oyster shells finely pulverized
ana mixed into thick paste with the
white of an egg produces excellent ce-
ment. which can sustain heavy weights.
If lamps become loosened from their
metallic sockets they can easily be re-
paired with plaster Of paris. Be sure
that it is boiled plaster. If it has not
been boiled, boil It yourself by putting
it in vessel on the stove. The air
and moisture will be forced out. as
you will see by the bubbles. Remove
all the old plaster from the lamp, fill
it with fresh plaster mixed with water
and while the plaster is still soft press
the lamp into the socket and let it
harden. The plaster must be just stiff
enough to pour, and the surplus plas-
ter which will be forced out OF the
socket can be readily wiped off.
To repair knife handles fill the ham
die with powdered rosin, heat the
knife and force 1t into the handle.

onersade Kerosene Emulsion.

The amateur can make kerosene
emulsion very easily. Take of hard
soap half pound and dissolve in one
gallon Of boiling water; then add two
gallons Of kerosene and churn thor
oughly for ten minutes The efficiency
Of the preparation depends upon thor
ough mixing. This stock mixture is
diluted four times for scale or up to
twenty times for lice. The stronger di-
luton viii have one gallon Of kerosene
to six and a half of wafer. Where the
water is very hard use one gallon Of
sour milk to two gallons of Kerosene

Rop REPORTS

Preliminary returns to the chief of
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of agriculture on the acreage OF
spring wheat sown indicate an area
of about i7.613,O00 acres, an increase
Of 472.0O0 acres over the estimate OF
the acreage sown last year.
The total reported area In oats is
about 27,68s,000 acres, an increase OF
$4,000 acres in the area sown last year
The acreage reported as under bar
ley is less than that sown last year by
about 172,000 acres, or 3.4 per cent.
The acreage under spring rye shows
reduction Of 3.s per cent from that
sown last year.
Returns to the bureau Of statistics

Putting cowpeas Up Green.

One method of harvesting cowpeas is
to put them up green, and this is sat
isfactory, according to very good au-
thority. when they are SO packed that
air can circulate freely through them.
One of the methods of putting up green
is to erect a stack pole and nail a
strong crosspiece on the pole extending
to the outer edges of the stack. Put
on layer Of green vines two or three
feet thick. then nail on another cross
piece, and so on to the top of the
stack. finishing off with grass hay.
The crosspieees prevent the vines
packing down closely and at the same
time allow the air to enter the stack.
They can be cured and kept by this
method 1t is somewhat more expen-
sive than curing in the field, as it ne
cessitates the handling of a great
amount of water in the green vines,
and the cost of stack pole, crosspieces,
etc, amounts to something.

THE GARDEN KEYBOARD

Set the main crop of celery If the
soil Is rich and can be irrigated try set
ting the plants seven inches apart
AS soon as a crop of beans is of pull
up the vines and plant sweet corn, late
cabbage or turnips.
Radishes for winter use may be
grown and stored in the same manner
as furnips, according to Professor
Green of Minnesota The seed is sown
in June or July.
Warfare with weeds should be siren
uous and incessant at this season, as it
means So much for peace in the future.
Set out peppers, eggplants, tomatoes,
late cabbage and caulifiower.
Plant cucumbers for pickles and
beans for the main crop.
Satisfy needs a long season, and one
gardener claims that the soil must be
only moderately rich IL long, straight
roots are desired

WINTER EGG PRODUCTION.


Points to Observe In the Care and
Selection of Fowls.
The production Of eggs is an easy
matter in spring and summer, when
the hens lay naturally, but to raise a
summer product in the depth of winter
is less easy of attainment, says A. v.
Meersch in Western Poultry Journal.
There are two reasons why the s'egg
farmer" should make every effort to
secure the production of as great d
number of eggs in winter as at other
seasons first, because eggs are very
much dearer in winter than in sum
mer, and therefore the profits of the
year will largely depend on the proper
tion Of eggs which the hens can be in
duced to lay at that season, and, sec
ond, because in order to work up a
sound business connection with con-
sumers the producer must be in a po-
sition to supply his customers wants
all the year round.
To secure a good winter supply OF
eggs the following should be observed:
A good winter laying breed must be
kept.
The hens must be of a highly pro
ductive strain and bred If possible from
several generations of good winter lay
ers.
The pullets which are to be kept for
winter layers must be hatched neither
too early nor too late.
The hens must be more than two
years old.
The houses, yards and all appliances
must be laid out and constructed so as
to insure comfort
The food must contain sufficiently
large proportion Of those elements
which are necessary for the formation
of eggs, the repair Of tissue and the
production of heat.
It may be taken as a general rule
that it is a good plan to allow the hens
to hatch and raise one, two or three
broods of chickens during the season
when eggs are cheap. Time apparent
ly lost in this way is made up for by
the greater number of eggs produced
when they are dearest and in greatest
demand.
No single breed can be said to be
the best for winter laying, for breed
which will do best under certain cir
cumstaIces may not be suitable in
Others If, however, the different
breeds are divided broadly into classes
the weight of evidence points to the
conclusion that for winter laying the
small nonsitting breeds are excelled
by the heavy sitting varieties. The
nonsitters will lay greater number
| Of eggs during the year, but the s'gen-
eral purpose" or sitting breeds are bet
ter winter layers. Among the most
popular of these may be mentioned the
Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Orping
ton, Faverolle and Langshan, and
when kept under favorable conditions
| fowls of any one of these breeds car
be depended upon for regular supply
Of winter eggs.

A Vegetable Variation.

In the early spring, when there is a
great scarcity of fresh vegetables,
chicory and spinach being about the
only resource of the housewife, tender
young hop sprouts are exposed for sale
In the Brussels (Belgium) market and
are in great demand during the sea
son, which lasts from March Is to
April 10. The sprouts are cut from the
foot of hop plants which have been
covered with earth during the winter
months. When the earth is removed
the tender sprouts are cut, care being
exercised to leave sufficient to form
new sprouts.-Gardening

Examine the chicks For Lice.

At this time of the year the dropping
chick must be carefully examined, says
M. K. Boyer in Farm Journal A sim
gle gray louse on the head Of chick
will soon end the little ones existence.
When we find such and the chicks are
with hen, we take a sponge and dip
it In kerosene After squeezing out all
the oil possible we rub this sponge
well over the breast and under the
wings of the hen. When the chicks
gather under her their heads become
anointed, and as it takes very small
amount of kerosene to wipe out the
louse the work is quickly done. In
bad cases it may be necessary to re-
peat this treatment several times.

PROFIT IN DUCK RAISING.


Mature EARLY.
The duck raising branch Of the poul-
try business holds special inducements
for those whose yarding space is linz
tied or circumscribed for the reason
that ducks are quiet creatures, writes
q poultry woman in American Culti-
vator An inclosure twelve inches hi igh
suffices for duckling harbors and two
or at the most three foot high fence
for large ducks
The fence does not require to be so
firmly built, especially at the base, as
for other birds, ducks having no
"scratchers,. but If properly fed and
! watered are '.contented in their lot"
More pounds of duck may be raised
to the square foot than of any other
ducks will market between 125 to $50
pounds and produce about five pounds
of fine feathers and down. The twen-
| ty-f1ve birds can be raised in a u by
| II foot inclosure.
Ducks mature more quickly and get
out from under the mother wing soon
er than our other standard varieties Of
poultry. The ducklings are Independent
little creatures. After the first month
or six weeks they require very little at
tention from the parent bird.
! Ducks need little exercise on an ex-
tended range. especially where prepar-
| ing for market. But they need clean,
dry bedding at night and shade from
| the sun during the day, and they must
| not be exposed to long, cold transforms.
They do well in feeding from Y shap-
ed trough and the same for drinking.
! There may be a slat running length
| wise through the center so as to keep
the birds, all but their bills, out of the
trough. They need a pan or box of
| warm sand or fine grits in the yards
near the feeding troughs
A good diet for the first week is one
third wheat bran, one-third brown mid
| dlings, one-third cornmeal, to which is
added tenth of coarse sand or fine
| grit, all mixed into a creamy mash.
For the balance of the first month to
| the above add S per cent or one-twen-
tieth of fine beef scraps or blood meal.
| During the second month increase the
| beef to one-tenth in weight nine parts
Of grain and one part beef, and add
about one-fourth in bulk of green stuff
cut clover, lettuce, grass or SO on.
During the last two weeks of the third
month give one part bran, one part
middlings, two parts coarse meal and
one-seventh of beef with same proper
ton of green stuff till within week Of
marketing, when the green must be
| discontinued
| DUCKS will only stand this last high
| forcing diet about two weeks and must
be then promptly marketed, else they
| fall back In flesh, and it is never posi-
| Bile to get them up to as good weight
again, besides the extra expense. Dur
ing the high forcing it is very impor-
tant to watch their feed and keep
them a little hungry all the time. be-
cause when once fully satisfied they
will not take hold and eat heartily. but
fall off on their feed
