How to Save Money.

| received n letter from young man,
% years of age asking what line of auto
suggestion he should follow to keep him
self from spending money. He said he
had been unable to save even n dollar,
although he had been working since his
seventeenth year and had always drawn
a good salary. Within a few days after
receiving his months salary it would all
be spent, with very little to show for his
money. He claimed he neither drank
nor gambed but felt that he must spend
his money and often found himself re-
turning home with something absolutely
worthless to him, although at the time
he bought it he felt compelled to make
the purchase.
OF course, it would be possible for my
correspondent to have guardian Cor his
funds appointed, but it seems to me this
would be humiliating and would not
overcome the trouble in the man himself
Relief of this nature would be like I'M
prisoning a patient with an alcoholic or
morphine or other drug habit so he
could not have access to his drug.
| am satisfied my correspondent can
cure himself of his money spending habit
by developing the principle of self-con
troll through auto-suggestion, and he will
then have not only sufficient will power
to save his money, but will power that
will stand him in good stead in every
walk of life where will power and dc
termination are required.

CARING for Early Chicks.

Every one who raises poultry for egg
production realizes the value Of the
early Matched chick Unfortunately
many of the early hatched chicks die,
from various causes, but it is worth
considerable trouble to take all the
precautions possible to raise all the
chicks that are born healthy One Of
the best methods Of doing this is to pro-
vide a special house for the hens and
their broods Such a house should be
low, not expensive and built so that
the greatest possible amount Of sun
light can enter it. If this sunlight Is
admitted through glass placed close to
the floor care must be taken to cover
this glass at night
The space for each hen and her
brood need not be large, four feet
square would be ample, just enough
to provide plenty of room for exercise
on the part Of the chicks. If this room
for exercise is given the chicks will not
huddle so closely about the mother in
cold weather, but will run around, bask
in the sun and pick up small grain If it
is placed where they can get it, in the
chaff on the floor All this is trouble
of course, but it makes strong, healthy
chicks and reduces the number of
deaths among early Matched chicks to
minimum.

Some Ills of Poultry,


Clean, varied, easily digested food Is
itself medicine.
Ailments can be classed as colds, in
digestion, vices and accidents.
A cold, accompanied by rafting, ~
called bronchitis; by gaspng, pneumo-
MIA.
The causes OF malignant colds are
filth, dampness, drafts, neglect and i'm
proper food.
II you have n scratching room IN
which TO drive the flock, fumigate with
sulphur their lodging-room. If you
| have no suitable place for them to 90,
burn oil OF tar or resin In their pres
ence.
Canker In thc mouth may extend to
throat and become diphthcria. The
ferent according to veterinarians. but
attendants on sick birds have been
known to take poultry diphtheria.
An ordinary cold, II taken at once,
can be arrested by grain pill Of
quininc forced down each sick bird.

to cause quick digestion. Use granite
or earthen water.dishes, not tin, for
medical use.

STATE GIVES AWAY TREES.
Kansas Work Proving of Great Benefit
in Saving the Crops.

A half million trees q year for western
Kansas farmers sizes up the work OF
the Dodge City, Kan, forestry station.
1t hasn't been so many years since
tree was curiosity on the semi-arid
plains of the west. Now little clumps
Of timber can be seen on every hand.
They render valuable service, too.
They furnish wind breaks for stock in
the winter. shade in the summer, check
hot winds and bring moisture.
There has been a wonderful change
in climatic conditions of western Kan
sas," said Representative Chalk Beeson.
Il can remember when the billiards
from the north in the winter would kill
cattle by the thousands and the hot
winds from the south would burn up
crops and pastures in the summer. We
got caught coming and going. Now we
are not bothered with either. The trees
break the billiards. in winter and the
hot winds in summer. The saving to
the farmers in cattle alone runs into the
thousands OF dollars. And as for crops
trees got big enough to do business"
The salvation of the western country
depends more upon trees than on irri-
CATION. Only a small part of the coun-
try can be irrigated at ull-the river val
legs. The government is spending $780,
OUU making irrigation experiments
around Garden City. If they prove sue
cessful the farmers. in the long run, will
have to foot the bill. If they fail the
government will be the loser. But irri-
cation affects only small area. 1t is
the handling Of the upland at a profit
that will count. And it seems that trees
offer the only solution Of what has
seemed difficult problem.
The government has set aside 10000
acres Of land in Finney county for
tree reserve. Experiment will be made
to find out what species Of timber is
best adapted for this country. The arid
districts Of Europe, Asia and Africa will
be searched by experts for trees that
thrive without much water. AS soon as
the government has its reserve well
started it will supply trees to western
farmers ut small cost and encourage
them in every way to start groves.
The state now supplies 100000 trees
annually to the farmers. These are pro-
duced at the station and shipped out in
the spring. The farmers simply have TO
pay for their delivery. No charge is
made for the trees by the state.-kan-
sas City Journal.

or a bag can be set under the open
end bottom to catch the grains of
corn as they come from the shelter.
If a bag is used, hooks will have to
be put in the sides Of the bottom OF
the box on which to hang the bag.

The Stall-Fed Cow.

Somehow many dairymen have
reading Of dairy farms where the
cows are Stalled the year round. 1t
by no means is intended that the
cows shall have no outdoor exercise;
on the contrary, except for cows that
are on pasture entirely during the
summer, few cows are more intelli-
gently exercised and proper ventila-
ton furnished them than Stalled
animals properly brought up. At regu-
lar hours the animals are turned into
commodious barnyards for air and
exercise. During the winter this out
door exercise is as carefully looked
after as during the summer, and, in
the majority Of cases, the COWS oc-
cupy only sleeping hours and milking
hours in their separate stalls, the bal
ance Of the time being spent in large
sheds.
Don't be afraid of the fresh air for
your animals during the winter; see
that they have all the outdoor exer-
else the weather will permit, but more
than all, see that the stables are
properly ventilated and aired. There
are a number Of devices for this pur-
pose, and one Of the best of them is
the window frame covered with mus

and foul air predispoSe the COW to tn.
