THE fresh air craze. Men who ply
my trade are complaining all over the
country. I've just beer talking with a
man who had plans drawn last fall for
a fine establishment. It's all off with

residence, stock it with coal and hang
on storm doors, if he's got to stumble
oyer the forms of four daughters
stretched out on the piazza in a snow
blizzard every time he goes home after
dark? That's what I've Deer doing
since November he went on. When
it's freezing cold my girls take their
bed clothes and move outdoors, and
when they're not outdoors they open
all the windows above the first floor and
leave me trying to heat two or three
miles of Waterman street. / haven't
been warm since this fad started, but
it seems j. don't count. The girls who
have weak lungs, or who think they
can detect alarming symptoms in their
chests, must sleep or the reranda for
a cure, and the girls who are all right
must sleep there for a preventative,
and there you are. If my wife and /
make n change We'll go and board in
the shanty of the crossing tender at

heats things up. Then my daughters

Don't get the silly notion into your head
that the csseutia parts of the fertilizer
are going to leach through the soil and be
beyond the reach of the plants when the
crop is growing. The soil would have TO
be almost wholly pure sand without any
strata. of subsoil for any fertilizing mater
ial to get wholly beyond the reach OF the
root growth Of any crop, by the process
of teaching, we mean, of course, any APP
piled fertilizer. We know that the ma
tural soil contains great quantities OF
potash and that this lies below the reach
Of the roots, although it is made fully
available by cultivation, as most OF us
know. Of course. it is understood nat II
IS not always possible to AXE the manure
TO the field as frequently as 1t might be
done, but the work can be very materially
FASTENED by the use of a manure SprcaQ2r.
These machines will handle the mass of
material by breaking it up and applying
it evenly in a manner that cannot be done
by the use of men and forks in the old
fashioned way. An excellent plan is TO
have the spreader where the manure can
be loaded directly into 1t and when 1t IS
full be sent out to the field where it Is
wanted.

There seems to be some misunderstand-
ing as to what constitutes a disinfectant.
One Of the correspondents Of this depart
ment has written the editor saying that
he had spent more money for carbolic acid
for dlsinfectant purposes than his poultry
was worth. If this is the case, he has
undoubtedly been using the refined car
bolfc acid which is not a disinfectant but
is an antiSeptic. For diSinfecting purposes
the crude carbolic acid is used and this is
very much cheaper in price, even at ordi-
nary drug store prices, costing So cents q
pint, and 1t may be diluted fully 100 per
cent. and still be effective. On the editors
own farm the plan of disinfecting which
has been found most economical and at
the same time most effective is to clean
the houses of all movab articles, such as
nest boxes and roosts and then, with the
help Of a knapsaclS prayer, saturate the
walls and the ceiling and especially the
notehes in the frame into which the roosts
set with a solution Of 100 per cent. diluted
| crude carbolic acid. This Is done very
early in the morning as soon as the fowls
are turned out, and doors and windows
left open so that the more or less objec-
tienable odor Of the carbolic acid may
escape. While the nest boxes and the
| roosts are out of the house they are thor
oughly cleansed with kerosene oil in full
strength. They may be put back in the
house before the birds so to roost at nigh
and then the next day the structure inside
is spread with whitewash, an addition Of
a tablespoonful of crude carbolic acid be.
ing added to each five gallons Of the
Wrhitewash. All nest material is burned
and before any new is put in the boxes {
layer of tobacco stems Is placed in the
bottom of each box. BY this method o.
cfeening 1t is possible to almost entirely rit
the house of mites and their eggs II thu
fowls themselves Of lice. We consider thit
very necessary at this time of the year
fer the reason that the lice increase yer,
rapidly under the influence OF warm humit

GETTING AROUND THE LABOF
PROBLEM.

LII nearly dll cCl-ol VI llIc county
there is a dearth of farm help and the
prices demanded are so great that the
farm product must bring a very high price
to warrant paying the high wages. In
many sections of the east farmers who
have commended with this labor problem
for some time are gradually dividing their
farms and keeping for cropping purposes
the best fields and turning the balance Of
the land into meadows. OF course, one
will nave to go about this change in their
methods very carefully and devote to Gull
tivated crops only such soil as we'll give
the largest return for the time and money
invested and such crops as are best suited
to the soil that can be given over to them
In other words it would be folly to raise
potatoes I'll a section where the normal
price for potatoes is extremely low, but
there IS scarcely any place in the country
where there is not one or more crops that
bring a better price than others and these
are the crops that should be specialized.
Even in the portions of the country where
the soil is naturally light and inclined to
be sandy it IS possible, by the Introduction
Of sufficient humus into the soil, to fit it
for the growing of some of the grasses
that viii make hay which may be sold at
q fair price. The subject is well worth the
consideration of farmers everywhere, for
there are at present no indications that
farm laborers are Likely to be more plenti-
full or that wages will be any lower.
DON'T FEEL AN ORCHARD is AN
EXPENSE.
Tn some sections the prices orchard fruits
have brought for several seasons IN sue

profitable. Don't get this idea into your
head for the sale of first class fruit is

growers viii realize that consumers, and
esnecfauy IN cities. are being educated
dailv about quality and will begin to give
them what they have a right to expect for

Queen Bees Protected.

Modern beekeepers 10 not leave the
rearing of queens to their bee colo.
mics. Left to themselves bees rear
queens only when they want to
swarm. when their queen is accident
ally killed or when, on account of her
age or from some other reason. she
does not lay enough eggs. In nature
when the young queens come out OF
their cells there is a battle royal
among them, the final survivor being
accepted as queen OF the colony
But this is a waste of good material
which the modern beckeeper can not
permit. So his artificially-reared
queens emerge into little wire cages,
or nurseries. where they can neither
kill their neighbors nor be themselves
killed.

Chicago School Teacher Gives Rea-
sons for Her Theories.
We forget who 1t was that coined
the phrase, "all big things come from
Chicago" but we would like to add
that occasionally some big thoughts
are also born In that metropolis of
the West.
A Chicago teacher. who we may add
is at yet heart and husband free,
evolved the interesting theory that as
life companion cat is far more
preferable than a man.
After enumerating the faults OF an
average husband, she proceeded to
tell OF the high qualities OF a cat. and
when she came to that part in her ora
ton when comparisons became neces-
sary. poor husbands had not a leg to
stand on.
The three strongest points that she
made were that cats trim their own
whiskers. never complain and. II they
happen to come home late in the wee
small hours. they do not invent ex-
cuses, and though guilty of misbe-
havior, they never walk diagonally
across the room. chewing a second
rate cigar and vainly endeavoring to
make themselves understood.
Well. it seems as IL the cats had
the better OF It, and so far no de-
fender OF poor downtrodden man has
appeared on the scene.-Exchange.

Danish Women Sailors.

Women sailors are employed in Den

often found to- be excellent mariners.
In Denmark several women are EN-.
ployed as state officials at sea, and
particularly in the pilot service. They
go out to meet the incoming ships:
they climb nimbly out of their boats;
they show their official diploma; and
they steer the newcomer safely into
the harbor. IL is the same in Finland
