FARMER AND
PLANTER
TO INDUCE FALL LAYING.
feed a variety-Not Too Much Of Any
One Kind.

-
A little are and additional atten-
ton and work with the hens on the
place at thi: season will be we'll re.
paid. This is the beginning of the
moulting. or shedding season, and a
good many of the hens are not laying,
and will not lay for some two or three
months under the usual course of neg
lect and Indifference on the part of
their owners. And yet, it is posi-
BILE to get a goodly number OF fall eggs,
If we will go at it right.
To induce fall laying, the hens
should have a variety of foods-not
al great deal of any II kind. but, a
little of several kinds. For this pur-
pose, all the waste of the kitchen and
the dining-room should be saved and
given to them. The best plan is to
have a good sized pot handy, and
throw all scraps into it. Let 1t sit at
the back of the kitchen stove; and
at the close Of either the breakfast,
or midday meal, put some oats, or
wheat in it too, with water, and soak
all together. 1t will not take long to
do 1t, and then when cooled off some,
call up the mems and give it to them.
1t will start them to singing and run.
ming about in a happy way, and soon
also start them to the nest and
keep some of them laying all through
the autumn and fall.
In addition to the eggs this system
will bring. it will also keep the hens
healthy and vigorous and enable
them to shed and reclothe themselves
in hear feathers earlier than other
wise.

anyone or anything or any place that
would have to do with Ike couldn't be
much.
You see, the Dibbles were mighty
seif-conscious people, havin' lived
right here in Westville, Conn, in the
same white house for so many genera
tions. It's a great and respectable
thing to get to be known as the So
and-Sos of Such-a-Place, and the Dib-
bles were.
''The Dibbles' affection for Cousin
Ike must have been well acquainted
with the cat that liked hot soup, but
they certainly took a morbid interest
in his antics, because the Dibbles
were born reformers.
They just swallowed hard every
time they thought of the things they'd

Flower Chateiainc Mirrors.

A quaint little ornament for a girls

flower stems. The little mirror is

and then slipped back again after

cases, are made in gold and enamel.
the natural colors of the flowers being
reproduced in the enamel. The
handles are green and gold enamel.
The pansy mirror is one of the pretti-
est of these charming trifies, and the
pansy mirror is not larger than the
natural blossom and the petals are all
spread out and the mirror slips easily
under them. There are yellow and
purple pansy mirrors. In the end of
the stem is the clasp by which they
are fastened to the chatelaine.

say to Ike to turn him from his evil
ways. II was torturin' to nice folks
like them to have one-by-their-name
breaking jails and records out west.
They wrote several letters to Ike tell
ing him if he'd come home they'd give
him a place in the store at six dollars
per to start and he could board with
his married sister.
"Of course this must have seemed
a big inducement to anyone who was
having a lot of fun out in Wyoming!

rather play than learn his books when
he was little, but they was able to

didn't have any longings to see the
scenes of his childhood.
"a spell afterwards they got the
minister to write, too, and it was as
friendly and nice a letter as you'd

Higginbotham. Still, Ike would be
likely to have changed his name. For
awhile we took comfort thinkin' Ike
was dom well, and we hoped he'd see
his way clear to come on. and bring
his family for a visit. The Dibbles
began to allow Ike to inhabit the
earth once more, and even went so
far as to hope they'd like his wife,
which was unbendin' some for a Dbl
BILE.
But all this was kicked over pref
ty quick when they heard that Ike
was mixed up in a train Robin cpl.

back to his grave was a caution.
After this they was so sore on any.

The fact that it has been demon
strated by good farmers that oats can
be raised more cheaply than corn
should stimulate oat growing. With
this crop, as with wheat, the land
should be well prepared, and only good
seed should be used. For oats, SOW
two bushels of seed per acre of some
good winter variety.
Rye is another crop that should re-
ceive more attention than we are Civ
ing it. Almost any land will grow
some rye, bu. the better the land the
more rye we will get.

Gathering and Saving Cotton.

While it is we'll to pick the cotton
as rapidly as is necessary, we should
not do that at the expense of every
thing else: and especially do we adj
wise against the custom Of picking
and ginning Immediately. 1t will be
far better to let the cotton lie in
hulk for some time before ginning,
provided the seed cotton is dry when
picked. No gin can make it's best
turnout either in quality or quantity
on green cotton. Again, when cotton
is ginned, put it under cover.

Bees make the quality of their
honey according to the kind of food
or flowers from which it is procured.
Good authorities on bee culture state
that when bees are fed scorched honey
the honey in the comb did not differ
therefrom. The same result occurred
when granulated honey was fed to
the bees. Honey can therefore be
adulterate in the combs. Glucose,
when fed to bees, Is deposited in the
comb as glucose, and 1t has long been
known that certain flowers produce
honey of a superior quality to that
derived from others.

A small herd can be fed "over the
fence" in the pasture, small patches OF
soiling crops being grown near by for
this purpose. Where this practice is
followed. the forage should be Well
scattered on clean ground, so that
every COW has a chance to get her
share. With herds of ten or more
cows, it is generally more satisfactory
to feed them in the barn.
