PREPARING FOR WINTER.

Perhaps the reader will object to advice
regarding work for winter being done so
early in the season, but there are several
things which are better done now than
later when the demands of the harvest
may cause one to forget their Importance.
The thinking man, and especially If he
keeps poultry, remembers the value of
SAND and dry light loan during the win
ter and he repares a bin, under cover, and
when there is an hour or two to spare dur
ing the dry summer he gathers loads OF
sand and loan and fills the bins. This
material is fine for use in the stables as an
absorbent of odors and II is especially
needful In the poultry houses during the
winter, particularly II the floors are OF
earth and have TO be cleanse several
times during the winter as they ought to
be. Then, for the poultryman. summer Is
a good time to look up a liberal supply OF
material for the grit box which can be
located better now than when the snow Is
on the ground. There is enough in these
hints TO set the fore-handed man to think
ing what he can do in preparing for win
ter now to the best advantage. Jot 1t down
for the next week IL you are busy this

DENATuREp ALCOHOL AGAIN.

Recently, in this department, we showed
how 4 woul be impossible for the farmers
of the country to make denatured alcohol
on the farm. Many requests for informa-
ton concerning the new law and Its re-
lation to farmers makes the following
statement of the secretary Of agriculture
OF interest. Speaking of the steps he Is
taking to ascertain how the new law can
be made of value to farmers he says: I'm
my opinion this investigation should be
thorough and include a study of the po-
tatoes grown in states where potatoes
grow a~bundantly, a study of the sweet
potato and the yam, the cassava and the
coontie of the south, the study Of the sor-
ghum plant. a study of the stalks of the
Indian corn and a study of the possibili-
ties of producing alcohol direct from the
sugar beets OF California, Michigan and
other parts Of the country where sugar
beets grow abundantly." 1t will thus be
seen that If experiments show, as they
unquestionably VIII, that alcohol can be
produced profitably from one or more pro-
ducts of the soil, the farming community
will profit greatly. The results OF the in
~vestigations will be watched with interest.

ABUSING THE AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT.

1t so happens III the writer IS opposed
to the present administration, politically,
hence what follows cannot be called poll
ties In the secretary Of agriculture the
country has a man who knows his bus
ness; he knows what farmers want and
need because he is a practical farmer him
self and although ne and his department
have made mistakes they have lone Won
derfully well when the mall amount of
money at the command OF the department
Is considered. Consider these figures which
are authentic. The farm products of the
United States during 1905 aggregated
So, AIS, 600, 900, while the average a%ppropria-
ton for the department of agriculture is
less tina $6,0 600. 1t is a fact which no
fair minded man will deny that less is APP
propriated for agricultural work in this
country, by federal and state government
than to any other of the important ndus-
tries Notwithstanding the fact that agri-
culture stands first. Let us help the ag-
~ricultural department rather than howl
at it's conductors because they do not al
ways spend our none as we would have
them spend 1t. 1t is sometimes conven-
lent to make a scapegoat Of another and 1t
requires only half an eye 10 know that
the agricultural department is many times
the scapegoat for the failures or extrava-
gances of some other department.
THE CLEAN HOG THE HEALTHY
HOG.
The recognized symptoms OF hog cholera
among small pigs are as follows: Scours
Is likely to occur first, then a loss of appe-
tite, ulcers In the rectum and lower bow
els, eakne and finally death. Post
norton examination shows a badly dis
eased liver with, sometimes, the presence
of worms. Prevention is the thing to be
done for 1t is safe to say there Is no cure
for cholera which may be depended upon
although. In the incipient stages 1t Is pos
sible to get the better Of 1t by the use OF
some Of the remedies on the market. Keep
the pens clean, give the swine grassy runs.
clean water, not too much corn, clean and
sweet food and keep them from roofing
in the foul mud and there will be little
danger Of the disease.
FEEDING CATTLE OUTDOORS.
During the summer IL Is an excellen:
plan 10 feed the cows as much as possible
out OF doors ever at night, IL they are
brought up from the pasture and put In
the barn or shed. Give them the bulk of
their food in the open, then just enough
TO keep them busy and to make a few cuds
after they are housed. An excellent feed
rack is made by forming a box OF inch
lumber, a foot deep, four feet wide and
twelve feet long. or, make them shorter
and have more of them Il desired. Locate

CLEANING OUT FENCE CORNERS,


If one is unfortunate enough to be both
yred with weedy fence corners try the plan
of turning the small stock like sheep and
swine into such lots and see them find and
destroy the weeds. Sheep do better than
swine at such work for they will eat any
thing that Is green and eat IL Town clean.
No matter IL such corners are in the Gull
tivated fields 1t will pay to spend a day
with the sheep while they are eating out
these corners, so they will not get into the
growing crops. Let them do this work
during the growing season and before the
weeds go TO seed. ont make the mis-
take, however. In thinking that these
weedy corners will suffice in the matter
of pasture for sheep. Let them have the
best range you can furnish with plenty Of
water to drink ouring the grazing hours.
Keep everybody and everything out of the
sheep range but those with whom the ami
mails are acquainted. Sheep are timid and
a single fright by men or dogs will do
more injury than one can make good the
rest Of the sumner. If possible let the
same person or persons care for the sheep
at all times,
BOX STALLS FOR HORSES.
1t Is worth some effort to make the hard
worked horses comfortable at night dur
ing the summer and nothing is more to
their satisfaction thar a box stall so ar
ranged that it is thoroughly ventilated,
free from the annoyance of flies and so
that the horse has perfect freedom OF
action without ropes or tie straps. 1t may
not be feasible to arrange stalls In this
way I'm a..y barns, but. III possible, they
should be arranged SO that the animal Is
as free as possible without danger OF CON-
Ing In contact with other animals. We find
IL pays TO treat our horses In the following
manner during the summer. The windows
are so arranged that there is the greatest
amount OF air comes through them with
out much sun and with no flies for the
openings are covered with wire netting.

alton OF thousands. Among ornamental
grasses the class known as Eulalia or
Zebra grass is the best for the novice to
begin with. 1t Is entirely hardy, forms
handsome clumps, grows to a height of six
feet and will thrive almost anywhere. The
class has a number Of varieties, one of the
best being E. gracillima univittata which
grows beautiful plumes, will thrive under
the most adverse conditions, Is always
beautifully green and costs but a trifie. 1t
Is much used in some sections of the coun-
try as a screen between the lawn and the
garden where 1t is especially desirable. 1t
is a perennial and plants may be safely
transplanted in the fall.
STIR THE SOIL, THEN AGAIN.
If deep cultivation means bringing to the
use Of the growing plants the reserve sup
ply of potash which is in the soil, as 1t
does, so does shallow cultivation during
the summer mean renewed growth for the
plants. Everybody is familiar with the
fact that a hard surface crust on the soil
means that the moisture in the soil will
evaporate quickly and that no additional
moisture goes into the soil and that a shall
low cultivation of the surface soil means a
conservation of the moisture in the soil
and that the soil is enabled to readily take
in more. The cultivation Of the soil every
ten days during the growing season, with
every cultivated crop, means q better
growth in every way and consequently a
better crop. This Is all there is to 1t and
the only question one has to determine for
himself Is whether the additional crop will
pay for the additional work. Most Of us
who practice this cultivation think It
does.
SHADE NECESSARY FOR DUCKS.
The impression seems to be general that
ducks can stand almost anything. Indeed,
some people go to the extreme and treat
them as scavengers, giving them any
them loose in the b%arnyard or on the
range to shift for themselves. Ducks
treated in this manner will be found about
as protitless as anything on the farm.
Expert duck raisers claim that the cause
of failure with ducks lies more largely
with lack of care during the summer than
anything else. Water in abundance TO
drink, especially at feeding time, consider
able green stuff and, more than all, a
shady place are the essentials during hot
weather and without these ducks cannot
thrive. If it is not possible to provide tree
shade for the ducks while they are on the
range then rough sheds should be built
which will provide the shade. DO this and
you will see a wonderful growth In the
ducklings. About the water at meal time
bear in mind that such water should be
not only fresh but II should be clean.
Ducks may run their bills into the mud
after insects but they do not like foul
water with their food. Try the summer
shade with cold, clean water and see the
ducks thrive,

Safe Blowers Wreck Kennett
Station.

The railroad station at Kenneti
Square was wrecked on Thursday
night of last week by safe-crackers
Burglars entered the station and
after drilling the safe inserted a
charge, which proved to be 81
heavy as not only to completely
wreck the safe but the Office fur
niture and interior of the building
as well. The robbers secured but
a few cents for their trouble as the
explosion appears to have been
heavier than anticipated, they
evidently having left Immediately
afterward, no doubt fearing the
neighborhood had been aroused
Strange to say the robbery was net
discovered until the station agent
went to the Office to open i5 Friday
morning. The supposition is the
explosion was set off at the time
the storm was raging, which pre-
vented its being heard. That the
burglars left hurriedly is proven
from the fact that their drills,
brace, jimmy and other tools were
left in the Office. Sharpless Lewis,
formerly of this town, is station
agent at Kennett.
