bones. The Silkie Negro has FIVE toes
and white toe nails, is favorite of

An Expert Farmer.

An exchange says young man asks.
What would you advise young man
raised on a farm who cannot stand the
dust of haying and thrashing and is
most too light to do heavy farm work
to do?"
Gardening. Horticulture, poultry rails
ing. civil engineering all are good II
he is built for an expert. there are land
scape gardening. inside decorating and
a number of other good occupations
open TO him.
The young man who is built for az
expert-that is. one who is naturally
bright, careful and painstaking will
succeed in any of the above or in al
most any other occupation. He will
have to learn the business he selects
He cannot learn any of them from a
Correspondence school" He needs q
practical instructor who can show him.
and the way to become an expert is TO
begin at the bottom and work up. thor
oughly learning all the details as one
goes along. The expert is always in
demand, and he commands the top
wages.
Whatever vocation young man goes
into, he should be thorough as he goes
along, always keeping his eyes open
for better ways of doing the work hs'
has in hand. All vacations are crowd
ed with ordinary workers. but there :
still lots of room in the upper ranks.

The application of shade and semi
shade to tobacco plants has worked
considerable of revolution in this
important crop. In Connecticut by the
use of expensive shading methods it
has been possible to greatly change the
character of the crop. while in other
sections by simpler methods of natural
shading important notifications in
tyne are attained. The department of
agriculture reports simple corn-to-
bacco planting experiment at the Ken
lucky experiment station. covering a
period of three years, where the tobac-
co was planted between rows of corn
The tobacco was of a finer texture and
brought higher price. Most soils
which have been cropped to tobacco
for any length of time are deficient i'll
vegetable matter. At the same time
commercial fertilizers are necessary in
the production of such highly spe
cialized crop as tobacco. but it is on'v

The Vine Blight.

Several inquiries from New Englap
were recently received at the depa
ment of agriculture asking for rem
dies to prevent or cure the blight Ii
destroys cucumber. melon and su'll
vines and referring to the well knes
disease very prevalent in Amer
of late years and which causes app
emily vigorous vines to suddenly vi
er and die within few days from e
beginning of the attack
According to DIR. B. Z. Galloway q
the bureau Of plant industry, the bligh
is prevalent all along the Pacific coast
The germs of the blight are carried ht
an insect. He recommends that ths
times should make q steady rather THAI
rapid growth and should be planted
on ground containing a large amount
Of organic matter, adding also nitrogen
in the form Of nitrate of soda Spray

bordeaux mixture such as is used fol-
potatoes kills the insect which carries
the blight and prevents IFS punetnrinl

Of the disease. As a means of proven
ton II IS recommended that the crops

LIME IN HoGPENs.
Value Of This Dssinfectant and How
to Use 1t.

to Use 1t.
Many have the opinion that the only
use for lime is for embarrassing and
use it very sparingiy even for that
The mechanical effect of good coat
of whitewash is well worth its cost, to
say nothing of the added appearance
Lime is one of the most reliable dis
infectants and deodorizers that We
have and at the same time the cheap
est. We use it in the form of white
wash for walls and roosts in chicken
houses and walls of portable hos
houses; also the hog watering and
stopping troughs says writer in
National Stockman and Farmer. In
The form of air slaked lime it is one
of the best absorbents of foul odors
that we have found If mixed with
the droppings of animals it has h
tendency TO liberate the ammonia, but
it can be used so as TO cause very lit
tie waste, and we can wen afford 70
sacrifice 4 little ammonia for the sake
of better health Of our animals
Sprinkle It on the stable floors and
on the hog house floors after cleaning
them ont and before putting in new
bedding. Put it on the chicken coop
floors and in dust baths. Put a small
amount in the hogs slop, not enough
to make 1t caustic or to turn the slop
yellow. but lust enough to sweeten it.
and the pigs will relish it. If one
would take the time to mix it, lime
water would be better for the last
named purpose. To make it put large
quantities of water ON quicklime and
use only clear water that rises after
the lime settles.
Sprinkle the powdered lime on the
feeding floors and about the yards.

lieve it has done as much for us as
any other one thing to help TO check
two or three cases of hog cholera
within the last few years Lime is
one of the ingredients of one of the
best selling hog remedies on the mar
ket today.
An old farmer said some time ago
that there is no use of losing hogs
with cholera. When asked his plar
he said he always kept the following
mixture before his pigs land it is sur
prising how much they will eat e
IT.: Lime fifty pounds: sulphur, FIVE
pounds: sal soda. five pounds; black
antimony five pounds; copperas or
sulphate of iron. five pounds.
Use fresh auicklime. add Just
enough water to slake it to a fine
powder. then add the other ingredient
and milk thoroughly Take two part
of the mixture and one of salt. and
keep 1t where they can get at it aud
see how quickly it is used up.

TIE WHITE slLklE NEGRO.

In 1915 sailors returned to England
from an African cruise reported hay
ing seen chickens with black face and
sheepslin caps, coats and stockings.
They got the grand laugh.
In 1776 a man appeared in Belgium
with one of these wild and woolly
chickens and furnished witnesses TO
prove that it was the tender offspring
of a white rabbit and white hen, He
even showed the bunny and Biddy
As in America, people loved to be
humbugged. but when scientist
proved the cross impossible the i'm
postor fed.
Perhaps some one saw one of these
bunny chickens laying and hence the
report that bunny lays the Easter egg
The origin of this peculiar fowl Is
hard to settle, for it is found in Japan

PLANT LICE.
A Prize Formula For Freeing veseta
ton of the Pests.

A government report states that the
Practical Counselor For Fruit and Car
den Culture of Frankfort recently Of
fered a prize for the best method Of
destroying plant lice, for which fifty
eight persons competed. The prize was
awarded to the author Of the follow
ing preparation: Quassa wood two
and one-half pounds. to be soaked over
night in ten quarts of water and well
boiled, then strained through cloth
and nlaaa. with 100 quarts of water.
in a petroleum barrel, with five pounds
Of soft soap. The mixture is then
ready for sprinkling on plants infested
with lice. Leaves. even those Of peach
trees, will NOT be injured in the least
by the solution. which can be kept
covered in the barrel from spring to
fall without deterioration AS soon as
lice appear the leaves should be
sprinkled with the solution If this
is repeated several times The pests will
disappear.

7. MeNeiss. tobacco expert of the de

1t is very important that stallion

also all through the stud season. A

manager to have this done viii be
liable to give the stallion reputation
for not being sure foal getter. Daily
exercise is just as important for a
stock horse as abundance of the best
quality OF the most nutritious feed
and both are necessary to put and keep
the stallion in proper condition to be Il

stamina to his foals
