Hens Should Lay in the
Spring Time.

1t is an old-ti expression that
if hens do not lay in early spring
they are not worth keeping, Gays
an exchange. But if the hens do
not lay they are not always at
fault. Now is the time to begin
to expect eggs; but eggs must be
produced from the raw materials,
az they are really manufactured
by the hen, she serving as a
factory in that respect
There is in the egg the shell
Carbonate Of Lime), the yolk, and
albumen (white), and everything
that serves to create bone, meat,
feathers and fat. The food that
is to be given should therefore
contain lime, nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and carbon, substances which
exist in variable quantities. in
different foods, Corn easily sus-
tains the system with carbon, of
which it contains large proper
tion, Meat Of some kind is best
for furnishing nitrogen, though in
winter and early spring it is diff
cult to procure it in some locali-
ties, but a partial substitute may
be had for it in linseed meal,
which contains nitrogen suitable
for the purpose.
If poultryman expects good
results for his hens he must see to
it that they have all the require
ments necessary, not onl y for their
own maintenance, hut also for the
making Of the eggs. OF all foods
for forcing the hens into laying,
there is nothing TO equal lean
meat. A dozen hens require about
a pound of lean meat a day, with
bulky food. A head of cabbage
or mess of cut clover, scalded,
will be appreciated from dietary
standpoint, as we'll as being excel
lent for promoting laying, Grain
is not cheap unless it makes hens
lay, and it may not be required in
the summer. Bones ent up are
excellent, but they are all the bet
ter if they have lean meat adher-
ing to them.
If hens fail to lay, shut Ctf the
grain altogether and feed them
lean meat or liver. 1t will do no
harm to allow a little grain at
night if the hens are laying, hut
if they are foraging they do not
need it, and it is then useless ex-
pense.

[Columbus sun,
Harry q. Wasson, assistant
freight agent of the Hooking Val

from Chicago, where meeting of
the Central Freight association
was held, and the first steps were
taken towards securing uniform

been considerable discussion of
uniform classification for freight,
but no definite arrangements had
ever been taken before for con

Farmers are Making His
tory.

Since the world vas, and sine
some men produced in one line anI
others in another, those who pro
duced food stuff and those wht
consumed it have been thought tt
be enemies-one striving for {
higher price and the other for {
lower price for the SINE commo
dities. 1t was thought impossible
to reconcile the fact that the
farmers made more money wher
farm products were high, and that
the wage laborers saved more
money when farm products were
low.
But since the organization OF
Society of Equity farmers have
been studying as they never studi
ed before, and on lines that were
never before presentedsto them.
They have learned that the wage
LA borers are their principal
customers, and without them their
products must rot in the fields,
They have learned also that the
better wages the laborers receive
the more can they consume of
farm products and the better
prices can they pay for them.
Having learned these things,
the farmers were prompt to bring
it before the wage earners, which
they did at the great international
Convention of the Ame, ican
Federation of Labor at Minnea-
polls last fall.
The laborers were as prompt to
catch the idea as the farmers had
been, and realized that the farmers
were their best customers; that
without the patronage of the
farmers every shop ard factory
would close or run on very short
time, and the laborers would be
out of employment; also that,
when the farmers get good prices
for their products they are able
to buy more of labor's products
thus stimulate all the Industries.
Here was common ground on
which both classes could stand,
ground of mutual interest and per-
sonal friendship, and they clasped
hands.
1t only remained to devise a
means to safely adjust prices so
that each should be benefited
The plan of the Society of Equity
was adopted -thatof the farmers
themselyes fixing the minimum
prices on their products and then
supplying the market, not in glnts,
but to fully and freely meet the
demands for consumption. To ac
complish this the organized
farmers and organized laborers are
uniting to establish Business Ex.
changes in all the great cities and
centers of consumption. Food
products will be shipped directly
to these exchanges, whence the
retail dealers and grocerymen will
receive their stock and supply
their customers with scarcely a

Someone observes that such or
chards are the exception rather
than the rule. 1t ia we'll that this
ia true. Yet they are a standing
menace to the neighboring newly
planted orchards, is fact so
evident as not to need discussion
Sometimes the owner awakens to
this fact and with axe and brush
hook, dynamite and fire, clears
away the object of his suspicion
and removes from sight, forever,
an institution which, perhaps for
half a century, was faithful,
fruitful, beautiful adjunct to the
homestead, This, deplorable as II
may seem, is preferable TO allow
ing the'old orchard to remain in
the condition fist described-a
source of infection, breeding
place for all enemies and diseases
to which newly planted orchard
Is heir.

lion, affords no fruit while the

But there is an interim between
the planting of the tree and the
gathering of the first fruits.
Oftentimes this interim proves to
be an extended, tedious, patience
taxing period of waiting. More
and more time and care are annu-
ally expended upon the young
trees in an endeavor to hasten
them into fruit bearing, resulting
only IN an increased, heavy pro-
duction of wood and foliage, and
a failure to secure strong, well de-
veloped f. f.uit-buds. This is only
natural sequence, when the soil
is fertile and high culture be-
slowed. 1t is by no means a loss,
and should not be so considered
for the trees are becoming more
and more fully prepared for
future, heavy fruit bearing.
But the seasons glide swiftly
by-fruitless seasons-in which
children and adults, alike, hunger
for fruit and are compelled to
look upon only empty baskets and
barren cellar shelves.
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1907-04-25

And all the while, perchance
there stands upon the old farm
stead score or more aged,
neglected trees-the remains of
the old home orchard which, fol
decades, filed to overAowing,
with crimson and golden fruits,
shelves, barrels, bins and boxes,
in the cellar of the old farm dwell
ing. Weeds and brambles have
taken the place of the close crop
ped bluegrass turf, the cleanly
cultivated surface, or the neatly
planted and well-cared for hoed
crops of former years. Dead,
dying and broken branches upon
the trees, and PROSTATE and de-
caying branching on the ground,
tell tale fully corroborated by a
dull and rust-eaten prunin g
saw lodging, long forgotte n,
between roof and rafter, in
an abandoned attic. The con-
tinuous tapping of company of
Downy Woodpeckers relates the
sequel to a story of partial death
and decay; and the knotty, dis
torted, immature, wormy fruits
which drop to the ground, hidden
by the rubbish, nosed and nibbled
by the meadow-mice, are in evil
dence of tie undisputed sway of
fungi and insect pests.

Renewal of Old Orchards

| There is peculiar fascination,
70. most home owners, in the study
of horticultural journals, fruit
lists and catalogues; in tho de.
liberate selection of the more
promising varieties of fruits, and
in the planting, culture, fertiliza-
tion and pruning of we'll grown,
thrifty, young fruit trees. There
is the pleasure of nticipation in
looking forward to the time of
fruition, when twig and branch
shall bend with weight of highly
colored, ripe, luscious fruits, and
when the tables of library, dining
room and Kitchen shall bear evil
dence of the forethought of the
owner, and the liberality of nature
in rewarding the diligent.
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1907-04-25

Still others have we known.
These not only with intelligence,
hopefclness and an inherent spirit
of thrift, plan and young orchards,
giving to these the best of care
such as will hasten healthy de-
velopement of trees and promote
early and abundant fruitfulness !;
but they turn with wisdom and
confidence toward the old home
orchard, having learned that, with
skillful care it will, with seeming
gratefulness and appreciation for
the time and attention bestowed,
so promptly and generously re-
spond as to bridge the interim of
waiting with rich harvests of red
and gold.
This Transformation, great and
wonderfully and pleasing though
it be-the lapsing of tree heavy
with years and more or less en-.
feebled by decades of generous
fruit bearing into renewed youth
fnlness and vigor and luxuriance
and productiyeness, need not sug
gest anything uncanny-a con
Jurors incantation, the passing of

young trees are growing. The
question Of supplying present need
remains unanswered.

|
Others we have known, who
were possessed Of a sufficient senti-
ment to move them to partially
renoyate the old orchard for the
sake Of old memories and in con-
slderation of the good it has
accomplished and the blessing
it has afforded through well.spent
life of abundant fruitfulness.
Usually, from these motives, the
process of renovation is simply
one Of "pruning up and scraping
down." Fruits but secondary
a lesser consideration. The trees
are supposed, henceforth, to be
capable only Of availing them
selves of we'll earned rest, to af-
ford pleasant shade for man and
beast, and to drop, perchance,
quite incidentally, an occasional,
Indifferent specimen of fruit from
heights unexplored, unsprayed
and unattainable.
We honor the man wi TIL whom
such sentiment pre- walls. He is
incompatible with the owner Of
the abandoned, totally neglected
orchard. In some respect he has
surpassed his neighbor to whom
the defensive suggests annihila.
tion with axe and torch. He has
at least displayed tendency to-
ward reclamation he has done the
best be knows to do. But he and
family hunger for fruit-there is
little for basket and none for
store; and his trees, after all, re-
main breeding place for fins sects
and fungi, endangering the young
or newly planted, growing orchard
in which his hope is anchored.
