Broody Hens as Mothers.

Professor Graham, OF the Ontario
Station, considers that broody hens
are preferable as mothers for chick
ems hatched in an incubator. "The
best plan" he says, 'to get the
broody hens to take the chicks is to
give the hen two or three eggs out
of the incubator on the eighteenth
or nineteenth day and allow her to
hatch them. When your incubator
hatch is over take dozen or fifteen
chickens and put them under the
hen after dark. Even il they hap
pen to differ in color from those she
has hatched she will mother them all
the same. If you give them to her
in the daytime she may not do so.
Never neglect to give the hen a
thorough busting before giving her
any eggs. If there is one thing more
than another that requires careful
attention in rearing young chickens,
it is to keep them free from lice. If
lice get upon them, from the hen
or elsewhere, a large proportion of
them will be almost sure to die"

Rules Governing Horse Sales.

The rules, covered very generally
by statute law of the various States,
summarized by one of our horse ex-
changes are as follows
The rules governing the present
popular system of selling horses at
auction at combination sales should
be thoroughly considered and under
stood by all prospective consignors.
They usually are very similar to the
following; A horse sold sound must
be perfectly sound in every way. A
horse sold serviceably sound must
be virtually a sound horse. His
wind and eyes must be good, not
lame or sore in any way; the horse
must be sound, barring slight blem-
ishes. These blemishes must not con-
stitute any unsoundness, and must
be nothing more than splints, slightly
pulled and little rounding on the
curb joints; above all, he must not
have bad looking curb, and must
not have brand.
He may be a little out in the
knees, but must not stand over on
the knees or ankles He may have
little puff on the outside of the
hook, but must not have thorough
pin or boggy hook, ring-bone or jack,
although he may naturally be a little
coarse Jointed, and front part of
hooks must not be puffed.
He may have slight scars or wire
marks, but lhese must not cause any
deformity of the body, legs or feet,
and nothing more than a slight scar.
He must not have any scar from fis-
tula or poll evil. He cannot have
hip down, and if one hip is trifle
lower than the other, it must be
natural, and no deformity like the
cap of hip down. He must not have
sidebones or any bad blemishes that
will depreciate his value more than
trifle, but must be sound, barring
slight blemishes that do not hurt
him or change his value but very
little, and in no case more than the
above mentioned blemishes. Car
bruises must be of temporary ma
ture.
A horse sold to wind and work
must have good wind, be a good
worker, and not cribber, and every
thing else goes with him
A horse sold for work only must
be a good worker, and everything
else goes with him.

Hogs and Pasture.

Among other recommendations OF
Prof Soule, OF the Virginia Expert
ment Station farm, are the follow
ing:
Prepare the land with the great
est possible care, and seed alfalfa.
Alfalfa will be the most desirable of
all the grazing crops, as 1t can be
grazed over two or three times dur
ing a single season, and will remain
on the land several years, If well
established"
He also recommends artichokes to
feed through fall and winter.
Some grain should be fed to the
hogs on grazing crops-one to three
pounds per day, depending on the
age and size of the animals. An
ear or two of corn will often be all
that is necessary. By using graz
ing crops the corn can be made to
go much farther, and better quail
ity OF pork obtained at a lower cost
per pound. Hogs kept on grazing
crops are under the very best sani-
tary conditions. The plan suggested
VIII provide grazing for twenty-five
to fifty hogs, depending on the char
acter of the land and the crop
season"

Pruning Trees.

Do not allow your trees to waste
a large amount of their energy on
the development of unnecessary
branches. Thow their vitality into
those which are to remain. But do
not so at the work of pruning until
you have looked the tree over from
all sides and satisfied yourself exactly
what needs doing. Never prune on
the haphazard system, or from a
sense of duty" Prune for results
that stand for improvement. Aim
to preserve a proper balance of head
without producing a stiff, formal
effect. Cut out weak wood, wher-
ever found, even If it does somewhat
disturb symmetrical outlines. The
development of healthy branches
will enable you to correct this fault
later. Thin out the branches, where
too thick, to allow free circula-
tion of air. 1t is a most excellent
plan to cover every cut that is made
with thick coat of paint. This pre-
vents unnecessary loss of sap, ex-
cludes rain, keeps away insects and
assists the wound to heal rapidly.

vALuApLE GOLDMAN COINS.



II there is any one who possesses
a collection Of coins Of the country's
colonial period that person is very
Fortunate. II at any time a pinch
should come, making IL necessary for
the owner of such collection to dis
pose OF Il in order to procure the ne
cesslties OF life. sum of money could
be obtained for the collection that
would make the seller Independent of
the world for a lifetime.
IL is doubtful, however, if there is
a complete collection of the coinage
OF this country Of the days before the
Revolution anywhere within the bor-
ders of the land, though in many
museums, public as we'll as private,
there is goodly representation.
The coins Of Maryland and vir-
ginia in the time of their colonial
existence were quaint and peculiar in
their wey. They included shillings,
six-penny pieces, pennies and half
penny pieces. Among those that
abounded IN Maryland was the Lord
Baltimore groat, called after the old
about four pence in the old country.
These coins, as well as those of Vir-
ginia at that time, were coined in
England for the colonies. One that
circulated very extensively in Virgin
Ia was the "Glocester token" and
there were multitudes of half-pen-
MES in those days, all with more or
less peculiar stamps upon them.
Among the coins of the period be-
fore the Declaration of Independence
New York, or New Amsterdam, as it
was then known, spread broadcast
her shilling pieces stamped with
pine tree, and they were as good as
gold in the markets. Massachusetts,
also had her pine tree shilling, and
1t was good anywhere, as they came
from Hull's minting house in Penn
broke Square. Many of the smaller
coins of those days immortalized the
American eagle, and the North Amer
lean aborigine had his innings. Olive
branches and stars and notices of
various kinds appeared on the OBJ
verse and reverse sides of those old
coins, from shillings down to half
pence. The old coppers of those days,
particularly those mintod in the New
England region, and the three penny
coins, as well, are of inestimable val
ue to-day, but the few of them that
do exist are as carefully guarded,
wheresoever they are, as the crown
diamonds of any empire under the
sun.-Washington Post.

"a matter OF great Importance in
relation to the capacity of our farms
to produce practically unlimited
quantities of the materials from
which industrial alcohol is made, Is
the fact that the growth of these
farm crops does not exhaust the soil.

are still serviceable as cattle feed,

is that of the thermophone, an instru-

takes advantage of the physical fact
that there is change of resistance

change in temperature Stations in
all parts of the plant are connected
with the main Office. The central in
strument has a series of switches and
a dial showing the degree of temper
ature, just as on thermometer. A
receiving telephone is connected with
the switchboard. The operator con-
meets the telephone with any desired
station in the plant and places the
telephone to his ear. He hears a
slight buzzing noise and the needle
on the dial moves. Finally there
comes complete silence. and at that
moment the needle Indicates the ex-
