According to +. II. S. in Farm JoC'
nal (Philadelphia), we should be mo
inclined to TRY nature" He al
throws out the following pertinent Sl
gestionS:
We should feed fowls so as to pr
serve them in the best state of health
As fowls become domeSticated The
are brought within our control an
consequently are largely deprived Q
their natural rights.
AS they depend upon us to care f0
them, it is self imposed duty to car.
for them in the best manner possible.
Fowls in a natural state subsist up0r
food of meager character, and yet they
are in a perfect state of health. Food
of such nature is what they require.
In winter we cannot of course get
green grass for our poultry, but We
can do as we do with our cows wheI
grass is out of season-feed them hay.
Late cut Towen is just as good as any
green food we can get in winter, and c
supply should be kept on hand for this
purpose. Cut it fine and steam by
pouring hot water over it. Let it
stand for few hours, after which mix
with the morning mash.

TOO MUCH WORK.

'"Too much work" is the verdict that
may be produced in the case of alto
gether too many middle aged and eld
erly men and women With some of
this large class it has been a case of
necessity, a condition which they have
not entered or remained in voluntarily.
With others the condition Of being for
ever and always head over heels In
work is one that Is assumed and In
most cases out of pure selfshness and
greed for gain. Followed up in the
case of the man, 1t means stopped
shoulders and a broken body at fifty,
stomach out of whack oftentimes and
constitution depleted. The long years
Of unceaslng toll, with little or no let
up or recreation, have meant the same
kind of breakdown for the wife.
while younger members of the family,
sons and daughters, have acquired
deep seated dislike for farm work and
everything that pertains to the farm
that Is very difficult to remove. Work
is one of the greatest boons to the hu-
man race, but 1t becomes curse when
the blessings which follow In its train
do not outweigh It's bllghting Ill ef-
fects.

The San Jose scale, whose ravages
have meant a loss of millions of dol
lars to the fruit growers of the coun-
try, was first introduced in this coun-
try in the early seventies on the
grounds Of James Lick of San Jose.
Cal, and from that time on there has
been a good deal of question as to
whatScountry was the original home of
the pest. Explorations and investiga-
tions lately conducted by representa-
tives Of the agricultural department at
Washington prove quite conclusively
that the scale insect is a native of GER
tain districts in China where its
ravages seem to have been compara-
lively Insignificant, conditions not hav-
ing been favorable to it's propaga-

ever, it spread with amazing rapidity.
attacking not only fruit, but other de-
ciduOus trees as well. Several varie
ties Of insects have been found which
seem to be natural enemies of the
scale insect, but the largest measure
of relief has come from thorough spray
ing with the well known sulphur
wash, which has not only protected or
chards against this, but other fungOus
enemies.

YOUR KIDNEYS.

gHALL nn FERrrLIzRr

A reader Of this department residing
in Los Angeles and owning large
farm in Illinois writes making inquiry
as to the value of phosphates as fer
tilizer for his own and other Illinois
corn farms, citing reports Of the I'LL
nois experiment station farms in way
Of introducing his query. There is lit
tie reason to suspect that the reports
of the state experiment station are
biased or colored because Of financial
interest which the directors of the
work might have In concerns offering
such phosphates for sale, and we be-
lieve that their findings can be taken
at face value. While there would
seem to be slight call for commercial
fertilizer on any farm which has been
properly and wisely managed and In
which the products of the soil have
been sold in the finished form Of beef,
pork, mutton and butter instead of in
the raw grain form, in the latter case
the application of certain amount Of
commercial fertilizer of the kind men
toned would seem to be advisable and
calculated to return to the soil ele-
ments of which it has been robbed
through years of uninterrupted and
none too careful cropping. If one has
serious doubts as to the efficacy of
such treatment it would seem to be
wise to make a careful test of such
artificial fertilizers on small scale
a few acres. Much would depend on
the character of the soil and even |
more upon the kind of treatment which |
it had received, and such an expert |
ment carefully conducted, with results
noted, would seem to demonstrate be-
yond question whether the application
of such fertilizer on the whole farm
would be practical and justlflable.
There Is so much opportunity for the
adulteration of commercial fertilizers
that we question the wisdom of using
the output of any company unless 1t is
recommended by ones own state ex-
pertinent station. AS showing the ben
eft of artificial fertilizers we note an
experiment conducted through period
of seven years by the Ohio experiment
station, which showed that plot Of
land fertilized with stale or bleached
manure produced an average yield per
acre of 81 bushels of corn, 1850 bush
els of wheat and 1850 pounds of hay.
An adjoining plot fertillzed with stale
manure, REINFORCED by a phosphate,
yielded an average of 61.23 bushels of
corn, 24.28 bushels of wheat and 1886

So far every attempt made in this
country to establish a large poultry
farm has been met by failure, says
Farm Journal (Phlladelphla). The ex-
tenslve and successful plants Of today
are the outcome of a small beginning
and a gradual growth. True, the main
cause for failure has been the lack of
experience. Men have undertaken
work for which they were not quail
fed.
Another effort is to be made. this
time by Charles A. Cyphers. we'll
known expert; b. Holmes, formerly
editor Of the Poultry Monthly. and
others, forming stock company. The
farm Is located about twelve miles
from Buffalo. n. Y. and comprises 260
acres Of land. 1t is planned to quarter
10000 layers for market eggs and
hatch more than 100000 head Of broil-
ers and rOnsters year from 1000
breeders to be kept for that purpose.

In many localities the guinea hen

Feather IL more attention were givel
to the selection of the breeding stock

providing a separate house away from

cultivation might become more genera

taught to live almost the same aS

from keeping guinea fowls in buildings
or poultry houses is the overpowerins

They are much more easily destroyed
by lice and mites than the chickens
The young of the guinea hen scarcely

or mites, which quickly destroy them.

At the close of the short course In
corn and stock judging which was held
at the Iowa experiment station at
Ames the first two weeks in January
all Of the prize corn which was on ex-
hibit was auctioned off to the highest
bidders. The prize sweepstakes ear,
which was of the Reid's yellow dent
variety, was about fourteen inches long
and weighed twenty ounces, being pro-
nounced by Professor Holden, the corn
expert, as the finest ear of corn he had
ever seen. When this was put up at
auction 1t ran up to $3.50, at which
price it was bid in by the man who
raised It, A bushel Of corn at this
rate would be worth about $500,
while a single kernel of the ear in

IuT GREEN BONE.

A Great Egg Maker Which Should
BE Fed Regularly to the Fowls.
One of the best and. in fact, one of
the most necessary poultry foods is
green bone. says X. II. Jones in Amer
lean Poultry Advocate. No other food
can entirely take its place. There are
different food elements required for
fowls, and one of the most essential is
protein. The other elements are also
necessary, but this is the one which
is given the most attention by poultry
men. In green cut bone we find large
percentage of this most essential elc-
ment; hence its value as food. There
may be some objections to feeding
green bone for several reasons, but it
is certain that the advantages fully
compensate for them.
Green cut bone can be fed adyan-
tageously to fowls intepded for many
different purposes and under different
conditions. 1t Is a great help in has
tening the growth of young birds. AL

fed judiciOusly-tha is to say, not too
much must be given at a time. 1t Is
recognized fact that animal food
must be given in some form, and
while it may be supplied in OthoI
ways, this is undoubtedly the mos
economical and satisfactory
1t should recommend itself to poul,
trymen, as it is of very reasonable
cost. The bones can be obtained in
abundance from any butcher, by whom
they are generally regarded as waste.
Often they can be had gratis, but even
If it is necessary to pay a cent
pound for them the investment will be
good one
The pOultryman should by all means
have good green bone cutter. The
cost price is very reasonable, and they
will more than pay for themselves.
The bones are put In the machine as
they are received from the butcher.
There are usually small pieces of meat
