Experience Which Seems to Expiode
Some Pet Poultry Theories.
We should always aim to prevent
overlooking as well as undertaking
writes a CORE poadent of the National
Stockman and Farmer. We should
also remember that the value Of food
depends upon its digestibility and its
assimilation by the consumer. This
brings us to the question how to feed
to obtain the maximum digestibility
and assimilation.
The hen is not only omniyorous, but
also perpetual eater 1t naturally
follows that some of her feed should
be before her all day. This brings us
to the topic of self feeders. Various
contrvances are made in which to de-
post grains, etc, from which at any
time the hen may obtain morsel.
Here another question presents itself,
the economy of the self feeder versus
the regular menu process. Under which
circumstance will a hen eat the more.
when it has free access to feed or
when it is given her at regular inter
walls?
Our experience Mediterranean breed
lis that they will eat less corn when
they have free access to ear corn than
when given the shelled at periods. We
have also learned that liberal supply
means economy. For example, if a
flock will eat ten ears day when this
amount is given them in the morning
all will be consumed, and some days
they are looking for more. But If sew
enty ears are deposited on Monday
morning very likely some will be left
at the end Of the week. OF course If
we wish to give them only a mite Of
some special feed we must adopt some
other method.
Our method of feeding il cinDly this J.
The hens have free access to ear corn.
In summer we keep plenty of ear corn
under the trees. Some grains we gen
orally give in the scratching room or III
the leaves under the trees. If we give
soft feed we prepare potful and place
it where the hens that are so minded
can help themselves

Eruit Notes.

Muscat of Alexandra is probably the
very finest favored grape In zistence
Early Rivers is grand early nectar
inc, handsome, large and of fine flavor.
Peach trees growing in thick mat
ted mass can never be satisfactory.
Keep them thin.
Strawberries that have been lightly
forced in spring frequently produce a
second crop in the fall
A couple of fig trees in pots are not
a very serious proposition, and they
may be grown by the amateur
Fruit forcing, like all other kinds OF
forcing, should be begun gently. A lot
of heat all at once is ruinous.
A really good, well ripened melon
grown under glass cannot be compared
with any other fruit for favor.
Madresfeld Court is fine favored,
handsome grape, but It has very
thin skin, and the berries crack easily.
Small apples and other fruit trees
grown and fruited IN pots are not
much trouble to grow and are very att

New fork Organizer Gives Soms Prac-

John n. Stowe, a special deputy of
the New York state grange, gives
some sensible suggestions about or
gambling new oranges. He says that
it is not best to call meeting until at
least thirteen of the prospective mem
bers' fees are paid Twenty or thirty
charter members make a good number
to start with. At the first meeting,
when all who intend to become mem
bers have signed the application list
and have paid their dues, those not
desiring to join should be requested to
retire from the room. The ballots
should then be taken on those names
which were on the list prior to the
meeting to ascertain If they are willing
to affiliate with each other: then bal
lot singly on the names presented at
the meeting, and If any ballot is un-
favorable return the fees to the appli-
can't and allow him to retire. Induce
ments in respect to grange stores, trade
discounts, cooperative purchasing, etc.,
should not be held out for persons to
join the grange They are likely to
overestimate these advantages. 4 be-
lieve," said Mr.. Stowe, that the
grange that is organized for education
al purposes first and cooperation aft
er will accomplish the greatest good
Let great stress he placed on the first
object of our Order namely, to de-
veIop a higher manhood and woman
hood. The obligation should be made
very impressive 1T should be regard
ed as sacred thing and should be ad-
ministered and assumed with the In
tention that 1t is to be sacredly kept.
Anything short of this is not an OBJ
legation. The duty of each officer
should then be explained, and then
proceed to the election of the officers
and instruction in the unwritten work.
Installation may take place at this
meeting If there is time. After the
officers are installed they should be as
sisted in opening the grange in due
form, and SO far as possible assistance
and instruction should be given in
the different degrees; then proceed
with the instructions for the closing
ceremony

Farmer vincent's Wise Sayings.

When a hens comb turns a pale red
and she dumps around, a job. of sur.
gerry is close at hand. Better not LET
it run long either.
It takes grit to grind feed. The hens
know it too. Get some.
If a hen lays lots of eggs, and good
eggs, too, don't cut off her head just
because she has stray mongrel feath-
er in her tail. An egg in the nest is
worth more than one or two pure bred
feathers.
AS a rule you cannot look for thor
oughbred results from scrub stock.
Don't keep your hens the year round
on soft mashes. You like pudding and
milk for a change, but 1t would get tc
be an old story to find it on the table
three times a day as long as you live

Fannie Woods Hen Talk.

Fannie Woods says in the April Farm
Journal
The poultry yard should be graded
and ditched SO that there will be no
puddles of water for poultry to wade
through.
Give the little brooder chicks chance
to get to the ground on sunny after
Moons. They like to pick at the young
blades Of grass and scratch and hunt
1t is necessary to keep the April
Matched chicks confined good deal on
account of unfavorable weather, but
they must have an occasional outing
to keep them thrifty and lively, as
healthy chicks should be.

of any of our eastern grapes. A vine
or two of this high bred grape should
be in every garden.
In my opinion, the queen Of all
grapes, the handsomest, the most de-
licious, the most aromatic and the one
that pleases the most people, is the
Niagara. 1t comes the nearest to being
the ideal all round grape. The aroma
of Niagara vineyard in late Septem-
Der is perceptible for a long distance.
Every grape has its champions, but
have yet to find person who does not
like the Niagara, says writer in the
Garden Magazine. 1t will hang on the
vines until frost, and its amber color,
aroma and honeycomb favor increase
with every day. 1t must have good
soil, sweet and well drained, plenty Of
fertilizer and thorough spraying. Civ
en- these, 1t makes grapes like the Mar
tina, Pocklington, Empire State, etc.
sink into utter insignifcance.

Shipping Eggs For Matching.

Eggs for Matching may be shipped
in well packed baskets with excelsior
and will usually arrive in good condi-
ton. We prefer good strong wooden
egg cases with pasteboard filters and
pack around sides of filters and around
eggs with ground cork or fine cut hay
or chaff, says Reliable Poultry Journal
Put a good layer of chaff on the bot
tom Of the box covered with paper be
fore putting In the first layer of eggs
and cover the top layer of eggs in q
like manner. Some breeders make a
practice of wrapping each egg in soft
paper as an additional precaution.

Eve Disease In Hens.

Eye diseases have been very common
this season. Avoid the use Of moldy,
musty litter Keep the poultry houses
clean, free from Irritating dust and use
good disinfectants freely. For the af
fected birds battle the eyes with 2
per cent formaldehyde solution. After
cleansing the parts with this solution
dry thoroughly and apply an ointment
made by mixing one part finely pow
dered iodoform with twenty parts vas
cline

ARBoR DAY PLANS.
A Suggested Programme For Arbor
Day Meeting.

A Suggested Programme For Arbor
Day Meeting.
The Arbor day observance should pc
arranged at previous meeting, conf
mittees being appointed to awaken an
interest in the matter and to superin-
tend the setting Of such trees as are
placed in public parks or other public
places. All the people, whether mem
bers of the grange or not, should be
made interested if possible In the work.
On the evening of Arbor day meet
ing should be held at the grange hall
and appropriate exercises presented.
This meeting can be closed session
or open to the public The following is
suggested as an appropriate pro-
gramme for such a meeting;
Address-s'The Origin and Object of Ar
Dor Day Observance"
Questions For Discussion What are the
advantages OF each of the following meth
DDS of Arbor day observance in this To-
calitv? Setting trees for growth of wood
or timber and what variety should be
set? Setting trees for fruit growing, and
what varieties should be set2 Setting
trees for shelter and shade around the
home, and what varieties should be set?
Setting trees along the highway and upon
public grounds, and what varieties should
be set?
Essay-The setting of evergreen trees
and rules to be observed In setting them.
Essay-The name and characteristics OF
all varieties of trees by the roadside be-
tween my home and the grange hall.
Five minute talks by members, each
stating what action he has taken in the
days observance.
Supper.
OF course this is intended only as
suggestive, for many other appropriate
exercises might be named from which
to select.

PEACH CULTURE.
Some Practical Directions as to Soil
and Treatment

Some Practical Directions as to Soil
and Treatment
For peaches choose a warm, fertile
soil. not too rich in nitrogen. but with
plenty of phosphoric acid and potash.
northern or northwestern slope af-
fords some protection from frost In
Jury. Hillsides are safer against in
jury from both frost and too much
moisture In the soil. A good sod or
green crop plowed under before plant
ing will furnish vegetable matter
enough Afterward the soil may be
mulched.
Keep the Top Open.
Trees should be one year old and
trimmed low so that they can be easily
picked from a stepladder, Keep the
top open and spreading, not removing
the lower limbs unless necessary. My
trees are set twenty feet apart each
way and fortified with 1000 pounds
of a complete fertilizer applied broad
cast. The first season potatoes are
raised between the trees, followed by
cowpeas, which are plowed under the
following spring and another dressing
of an equal amount of fertilizer ap-
piled, followed by another crop Of po-
tatoes. After that the ground is kept
clean by narrowing. cultivation. spread
ing the two sections of the harrow so
as to reach under the trees. After
ward cultivate each year and apply
fertilizers as the trees seem to need,
advises a grower in American Guilt
vator.
The fruit is thinned both by cutting
away an excess Of wood and by pick
ing of the fruit. The peaches should
not be closer than five or six inches.
Every tree showing signs of disease Is
cut out.
The Hardest Varieties.
The hardest varieties are of the
cling type, including the Snead, Victor.
Greensboro, Waddell, Carman, Fitzger-
aid, named in order of their earliness.
The Early Belle is the first early free
stone. Liberia is one of the most pop
ular kinds, but not Of high quality.
For localities having a severe climate
the Greensboro, Carman, Champion,
Captain, Edes and Belle of Georgia
can be recommended.

The Hardest Varieties.
WHITE GRAPES.

Niagara PIeases Many People as an
All Round Variety.
Green Mountain or Winchell is the
earliest and sweetest of all grapes. 1t
soon, however, becomes overripe and
tasteless. It is a most delicate and
tender grape. having large punches
with small, thin skinned berries.
Though almost invaluable for the gar
den, few vines of Green Mountain
are enough.
Moore's Diamond is also handsome
early white grape, spicy and high ia
vored. 1t makes the best white wine
