AGRICULTURAL BITS.

Give plenty of water; laying fowls
require it.
Applying manure to grass lands
during the fall is a good thing to do,
providing the manure is not put on
so thickly that it smothers the plants.
The manure is not small item of
profit from the poultry house. In
cleaning up the poultry house the
droppings should be put in barrels
or boxes and kept dry.
Never give fowls sulphur in damp
or wet weather, and give it cautiously
even in dry weather If fed, and the
fowls get wet. it is said to cause rheu-
matism and weakness of the legs.
The prices of farm implements
are to be boosted this season. Why
not meet the advance by painting
and fixing up the machine on hand
now? A few gallons of paint. new
piece of woodwork here and there,
will put the machine back in service
for two or three years.
Young poultry should not be al
lowed to go hungry, nor should they
be given more than they can eat up

QUICK WORK OF PACKING.
System Used by One Successful Hand.
Ter of Fruit.

In picking apples in my own orch
ard and in orchards that l buy, l do
not allow an apple picked until am
there to commence barreling same.
l never let an apple touch the ground
that goes into a barrel. In picking l
use half bushel baskets and short
sacks hung over picker's shoulder,
says correspondent of Farm and
Home. Use long and short ladders
tirely, as pickers climbing in among
the limbs bruise the apples that are
in sacks and spill apples out Of the
baskets.
/ pack entirely from packing tables
that are built on a slight slant. the
wide end of the table being padded
to prevent the bruising of apples as
they are being poured onto the table.
The narrow part of the table is slat-
ted with lath one inch apart, which
allows twigs, leaves, ETC., to drop
through. At the mouth of the. table
/ have an apron that is tackled to the
under side of the table; this we lay
over the barrel allowing the apples to
run into it. When the apron is full
we lower it into the barrel, which pre-
vents the bruising of apples as they
are put into the barrel.
The cost Of picking and packing
covers wide range where trees are
heavily laden, the cost being not
nearly as large as when there is a
light crop. Under ordinary circum-
stances the picking and packing can
be done for Is to 1S cents per BARREL
l work four men at the packing table,
one man to face, one 70 press, one at
mouth of table to run the apples, and
one to sort out culls.
The packing table does away with
having Gull apples all over your or
chard, as all the culls are thrown un-
der the table. When the time comes
in the fall to gather your Gull and
windfalls for making cider, it is
very easy matter to drive from pile
to pile to pick up the apples and put
them in the wagon. have my teams
ready to haul my apples to cars,
where they are put in cold storage in

they were hanging on the trees.

"BOO-HOO"
Shouts a Spanked Baby.

A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Re-
ligious Press of the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also regard
ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon its
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
"The religious Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man" Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans
successor?"
"a contemporary remarks that Col
lier's has finally run against solid
hickory Post" and been damaged in
it's own estimation to the tune of
$750,000.00."
Here is publication which has, in
utmost disregard of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to
go uncontradicted until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, it makes the mistake of wander
ing into fresh field and butts it's rat

World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
1t back dose of it's own medicine"
1T is mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but 1t cries and boo hoos like
spanked baby and wants $750,00000
to soothe its tender, lacerated feel
ings."
"Thank Heaven 1t has at last struck

telling the whole truth without fear or

Mr.. Spence has a large breeding

ring to see what odds were being Of

found that Joaquin was the favorite

BeIlinu a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house Of
rats is to catch one and fasten bell
about it's neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore it
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid Of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied harmonica
to another rats tail. the rodents would
have had dance every night.
