Economixing Green Food.

When green food is scarce or DIM
rult TO obtain it pays to plan some way
so 1t will not be wasted. The follow
ing description is of feeding box
that works well. Cut two pieces for
the ends, each twentyfour Inches long
getting proper curve by using com
pass. Make the back Of the holder OF
thin boards four feet long and twenty
four inches wide and nail one end (hg-
ure - in place, hinging the other end
using small straps of leather to hold
1t shut. Cover the holder with coarse
mesh wire netting and hang 1t in q
convenient place high enough SO the
fowls cannot roost on it, yet so they
can feed from it readily. Use hangers
OF wood, tin or leather as indicated w

Chicks on Range.

The sooner you get the early hatch
OF chickens on open range the better
1t will be for them. 1t Is pretty hard
to teach brooder chickens not to go
back to their original home after you
want to take them away from the
brooder and put them in the colony
house. Either take the brooder out Of
sight, or move your chicks to another
lot where they can't see it. Do not take
them from the brooder until they have
learned to get on without artificial
heat or they will huddle in the cor
ners and do themselves an Injury.

wheat acreage Increased by 100000

Manitoba over the 100000 mark for
that cereal alone. The land sown to
oats is 1,155,961 acres, an Increase of
124. .722, while the barley acreage has
nearly reached 100000, being, in fact,
474,242. The total Increase In the
grain acreage over last year Is 6i5,S36.
The other crops also show an increased

potnfs on Raising, Geese.

Have one gander to four geese, no
more. Give them good run. Do not
try to change their nests, but let them
set where they lay. Take first eggs
and set under hens, as n goose Will
sometimes lay thirty to forty eggs in
the season. Goslings should not be al
lowed to run in water or tall, wet
grass, but should have a good grass
run, grass that is short and green.
Feed dried bread molstened with milk,
cooked dry potatoes or cooked corn
meal. Do not feed them too much at
first, and mix some grit and sand with
their feeds.

Pumpkins are good feed for lambs In
the fall, especially when they are trou-
bled with paper skin, caused by worms
in the intestlnes. They will eat them
if they are sliced or cut and sprinkled

flat-bottomed troughs with compart'

celve the half of pumpkin cut in such

Water for Work Horses.

Give work horses a pail of water in
the middle of the morning and the aft

Help them along and you will have bet

them a few carrots and little grass

Hen, Don't Like New Home.


Fowls are very fond of their homes
and dislike being moved to new loca-
tions. If eggs are the object it is most
important that birds should not be
moved from pen to pen, as it will de-
lay egg production and also diminish
the supply. Pullets for early laying
should, If possible, be brought up with
in sight of their future laying run or
pen. On the contrary, if it is wished
to delay the laying Of a pullet, and to
encourage growth for prize purposes,
her home must be changed often. A
sitting or broody hen may he interfered
with by removing her to new scene
and fresh companions-a more reason

maternal instincts than that of half
drowning her, shutting her ur in dark

To XIII sassnfras Roots.

Says one writer: Sassafras is one OF
the worst pests that some farmers have
to contend with. 1t may be grubbed
year after year and every root taken
out that can be, and still there will be
roots left that will sprout up and soon
the sassafras will be thicker than ever,
and the area of sassafras brush will
be enlarged rather than diminished.
No amount of grubblng will permanent
ly rid field of sassafras. The most
successful method of fighting sassafras
| have ever tried is to cut off the
sprout at the top Of the ground and to
pasture with cattle and sheep until the
roots die, or II the trees are large, peel
them two or three feet above the
ground and pasture until the roots die.
III the land Is plowed and the roots
broken, they will sprout, but II pas
tured close the roots die In few years.

No SPR|NTS IN
S|X-DAY GRIND

There WAS no change during the night
in tho position of the riders In the blcy-
Gle race at Madison square garden. The
men did their work mechanically, seem
Ing for the most part to be content with
holding their places in the race. A few
sprints were attempted but they did not
last lons and were without result The
sixth and last day OF bicycle races here
toforo held have seen little or no change
in position and the spirltless grind that
was going on early today seemed TO in
cate that precedent would be followed
In this race. The men were averaging
about Is miles an hour early today and
all seemed content TO follow this pace.
The lack of maintained speed I'm this
race and the unusual delays that have
occurred are indicated by the fact that
the riders were nearly 400 miles behind
the record early today.
Ten teams remain In the race and Will
probably finish Vanderstuyft and Stol
and CALVIN and Wiley dropped out Of the
contest late last night. Both teams had
lost several laps 10 the other riders and
as there was no hope OF making this up
again, the men decided to quit. Much
sympathy was expressed for Vanderstuyft
and Stol. the Belgian Holland team. They
had made game struggle during the
week. and Stol had been the instlgator
or some brilliant sprints. but accident
wore out Vanderstuyft and the brunt of
the work fell pom Stol; and it was in
evitable that the team would have to
drop behind. Rutt and MacFarland have
shown fast work the last day or so, and
many OF the spectators pick them as the
probable winners when the final sprint
comes tonight.

Round after round this style OF fight
