Shade in the poultry yard is an alb

to have the yard full of fruit trees.
Free range on the farm assists

be fattened for the market they
should be closely confined
Soft food for poultry is all right,
but no more should be fed at a time
than they will eat up clean. If any is
left it will get stale and sour and fill
with disease germs.
Much is said about disinfecting
and deodorizing the hen house. For
this purpose nothing is better than
dry earth; 1t is always handy; cheap
and effective.
Don't allow your poultry to drink
stale, dirty ur stagnant water unless
you want them to suffer from dis
ease. That kind of water causes
other things combined: and it will do
the same thing with poultry. Pure,
clean water in which few drops of
spirits of camphor are added. will
keep the poultry healthy and often
correct slight bowel trouble and pre-
vent cholera.
AS one rides through the country
he will often see on the farm several
breeds of poultry running together
Farmers and all others should re.
member that the more breeds of
poultry they keep the greater the
amount of labor involved. 1t will be
much better for them to keep only
one breed at time unless they are
in the poultry business. Select the
one You like best, and then stick to
that breed

RETIRING FROM THE FARM.

The great scarcity of competent
farm help during the last few years
has introduced the element of com
plexity into the problem of production.
This is especially true in cases where
the landowner is somewhat advanced
in years, and because of this less able
to indulge in the activities that are
SO sternly demanded if there is to be
any profit at the end of the year as
the outcome of the investment and the
labor expended. Under such circum.
stances we can well understand tho
temptation to leave the farm, to retire
to inactive life in the village or town,
and thus be free from the anxieties
that are more or less closely associ-
ated with the tasks of production.
However, a study of the lives Of
those who leave the farm as the years
advance does not impress one with
the wisdom of solving the problem
in this way. In old age new friend
ships cannot be formed that will take
the place of the old-time friends and
neighbors, while to be removed from
the scenes of a lifetime of activity is
to leave void in the affections that
cannot be replaced by the superficial
joys that characterize town or city
To our way of thinking the solu.
tion of the difficulty lies in securing
more help for the performance of the
active duties, while the duty of di.
recting them alone falls to the aging
one. This will keep the mind active
and the spirit young. SO that the indi-
vidual grows old peacefully, enjoys his
years to the very end and in truth pro.
longs that day when the duties of life
shall come to an end. The happiest
aged people that We know are those
who have spent their childhood, and
as well as the days of ad.
years. on the farm. There the
atmosphere Is pure, friends remain
natures power of reju-
is experienced in the full.

there is where the final leave-taking
should occur.

Hitherto the lack of uniformity in the
barrels has caused much dissatisfac

result is that the market quotations
based on barrels give no real idea OF
the true state of the market The
standard barrel measures 17Is inches I

less loss of space. The barrel has
the advantage of being OF such

SPREAD MANURE IN FALL.

If the manure is spread upon the

better it is distributed through the
soil. Manure drawn out in the fall
does more good than if left until mid
winter, and the latter is better than
leaving it until spring. Unless the
land is absolutely overfiown with wa

A safe and economical plan is to haul
