In these days no one can afford to
keep deadheads on the farm. All farm
animals must pay for their keep and
make a good profit In addition 1t IS
an astonishing fact, therefore, that only
q small proportion of poultrymen actu-
ally know whether a particular hen Is
laying or not Some men can Judge
more or less accurately by the color Of
the comb, by the CHEEKY song, and other
well known signs. A much more accur-
ate method consists In the use Of trap
nests by means of which each hen is
marked by a ring, or otherwise every
time she lays an egg. 1t requires
little time and patience, of course, to
operate trap nests so as to separate the
layers from the non-layers, but II pays
well In the end When the test has
been applied to flock of hens. some
are found to be laying 80 to 100 eggs
year, while others of equally vigor-
Gus appearance and happy disposition
lay not an egg. But the non-layers eat
and are, therefore, expensive luxuries
to keep about the farm.
The chief value Of any reliable sys-
tenn for picking cut the best layers Is
found In the fact that they may be used
as breeding stock to improve the egg
production Of the whole flock to come.
In a careful series of tests in Maine,
Utah and elsewhere II has been def
nitely shown that the hen transmits her
laying qualities to her offspring. With
this fact well established the poultry
man should use no rooster for breedfn
purposes unless he comes from a 200
egg hen, and should incu5ate no eggs ex-
cept those which come from a hen with
a record Of 200 eggs year 1t Is thus
possible to build up flock Of hens each
of which will lay 200 to $50 eggs q
year This Is fully double the yield
Of the average flock. Not only may the
number of eggs be increased by breed, |
Ing. but a great uniformity In the size
shape and color Of the eggs Is secured

The unsightly and unsanitary condl-
ton Of many of our dairies and milk
herds is reproach to owners. In most
instances the owners cannot see the
dirt and filth, the bad drinking water
and the smeared cows. He is too much
accustomed to them. He is letting
well enough alone" at his place. Cows
drinking from ponds with green scum
over the surface cannot give pure milk.
The COW should be clean outwarGly,
also, before the mixer sits down to
his work. Has the mixer clean hands?
Then he Is one among ten thousand.
Has he clean clothes? Then indeed
is he q rare bird among mixers Of
kline.
Thousands of COW owners believe In
the bottom of their hearts that clothing
and hands cannot be kept&clean for
milking. These people think that milk
is of necessity, in the nature of the
case, a tolerably filthy article, which
may be purified more or less by strain
ing or possibly by the separator. How
vain this nope is has been shown many
times by microscopic examination Of
milk once dirty. "Onee dirty, always
filthy Is the rule for milk, as ordinar-
lily handled. But one Is almost sure to
waste time talking to people about
what the microscope will reveal when
they are unable to see common black
dirt and worse IN the bottom of every
pail when it is emptied. The only safe
and sanitary plan known to the dairy
world is to keep the milk pure from in
side to outside, from start to finish

In bulletin on the renewal Of the
peach industry in New Jersey, bulle-
tin issued by the experiment station OF
that State has the following to say re-
garding the selection of field: 1t Is
best to choose a field at some distance
from an old orchard, so as to avoid as
far as possible the passage of insects
and diseases. But if the old orchard is
not infested with yellows, root-lice or
borers, young orchard may be planted
near it, So far as the scale Is con-
cerned, the trees must be sprayed every
year; therefore it can be controlled
near an old orchard, but 1t Is easier to
manage If not near an infected one. 1t
is, of course, to be preferred that the
field chosen be one that has not grown
peaches for several years. 1t is some
times said thai the soils in parts of the
State will no longer grow peaches, but
the soils that were once good peach
soils are still so If they are properly
treated

A solid Floating Foundation.

A writer in the Technical World Mag
azine tells of a new engineering device,
invented by William r. Murray of Los
Angeles, Cal, by means of which it Ia
possible to build in the open sea struc-
lures that usually require solid rock foun-
dations, such as breakwaters, Lighthouses,
forts, bridges, ETC. These will remain per-
fectly steady, no matter how turbulent
the surface Of the sea may be. This re-
suit is obtained by immersing the floating
structures deep down in the still waters
in such a way that the surface vibration
cannot affect them. The simplest form 10
hollow upright cylinder of iron, with
a broad projecting fiange. This base will
act as lever to counteract any horizon

hoped that torpedo stations may be plac-
ed far out to sea, forming an impens-
trabie barrier to an attacking feet.
Again, it is proposed to thus erect float
ing wharyes. which would rise and fall
with the tide.

American standard. Analy.ea.

Justice Brewer of the United States
Supreme Court, in an address on the
larger and higher life of the nation, at
New Rochelle, N. Y, paid us the usual
compliment of being Hercules among
nations, saying facetiously that il we
didn't have a Hercules club, we at least
possessed a big stick at Washington, but
this was not enough. Those responsible
for the country's future must ask, What
are the ideals of the nationY Are we
seeking only material development, or are
we striving for the higher life?" He re-
ferred to our pride in big navy and the
ostentation of our cities over their build
ings, houses, art galleries and libraries
bought by the cubic yard. He believed
the nation was running deeper into debt
each year. Quoting Washington's fare
we'll address, he said he was one who
didn't rejoice in a great national debt.
Nevertheless he thought that the growth
of intellectual spirit was leavening the
crudeness of the peope.

THE RETURN.

He sought the old scenes with eager
feet
The scenes he had known as boy;
"Oh, for a draught of those fountains
sweet,
And a taste of that vanished joy"
He roamed the fields, he unused by the
streams,
He threaded the paths and lanes;
Cu the hills he sought his youthful
dreams,
In the woods to forget his pains.
oh, sad, sad hills; oh, cold, cold hearth !!
In sorrow he learned thy truth
One may so back to the place of his
birth
He cannot go back to his youth.

Easic,t WAY TO start Celery.

One of the most difficult things to
raise in the garden is celery, because
Of its being hard to start the plants
A very successful way. however, is to
prepare the ground where you want
the plants, SOW good fresh seed quite
thick in the row, but don't cover with
dirt Next cover with burlap, laying
something on the edges to prevent the
wind from blowing 1t away, and sprin-
kle with water every day on top OF
the burlap. In from one to two weeks
the seed will sprout and as 1t begins
to grow raise the burlap gradually
and finally remove. Plants grown in
this way will be very hardy and may
be thinned out and transplanted, leav-
ing the plants about five inches apart
in the row. The bleaching may be
done as one chooses, with dirt or straw
mulching or boards.

Wonderful Increase in Money.
Deposits of the people of Wisconsin
in banks have increased during the past
year at the rate of 81, 100000 month,
the aggregate increase being $2S. 400 coo.
This is the showing made in figures pre-

State department of bank supervision was
established. there has been constant
growth of the number of banks under
the supervision of the department. The
number has grown from 233 to 4O6. In
the same period the total resources have
grown from $43.300.000 to S114.3000G0.
The commissioner asks special laws fos-

apart from commercial banks. The New
England mutual savings bank system is

that unless the State devise methods of
perfectly safeguarding savings deposits,
the day is not far distant when postal
