Poultry Notes.

Clean the droppings from under the
roosts frequently.
Grit is the hens teeth Provide her
with plenty Of it, so that she may di-
gcst her food,
If you expect the hen to lay freely.
you must feed her the kind of stuff
that will make eggs
Buckwhcat is excellent for both
young and old poultry.
A laying hen should have constant
access to lime or gravel.
Feed only what the hens will eat up
clean. Any kind of feed left from one
day to another Is apt to start disease.
Watching the incubator carefully IS
the way to get The best hatch. A little
carelessncss is sure to produce disas,
trous results.
Charcoal or burned corn occasionally
IS a good conditioner for the fowls. II
prevents indigestion and other diseases
to which tbey are heir.

Loss of Fertility by Leaching.


Land kept constantly as a garden
loses much of its fertility by teaching
A clover rotation is the best preventive
Of this. There should be at least two
or three garden spots on each farm
kept rich enough so that one years eX-
ira manuring will bring it into the
finest possible condition for garden
truck. IL farmers could always plant
gardens on two-year clover sod they
would raise better crops and with less
stable manure and other fertilizers
than they now require. The clover
does much more than furnish green
manure to ferment in the soil. Its
roots reach down into the subsoil thus
not only saving and bringing to the
surface plant food that would other
wise be wasted. but also by enlivening
the subsOil, allowing the roots of crops
to go deeper. Clover sod to begin with,
if well enriched, IS best for such crops
as cucumbers and melons, that are al
ways most likely to suffer from
drought 1t is quite impossible to make
a good garden crop unless the land has
previously been enriched by series Of
heavy manurings, The fertility lost by
teaching must be constantly renewed

Idaho Man Finds New Wheat.

\ new variety of wheat has been dis
covered by a farmer living near JUL
eta, Idaho. He says he found a few
kernels Of the wheat growing wild in
Alaska, and being struck with their
plumpncss, hardness and other appar-
eut good qualities, he brought home q
few kernels and planted them. From
those few kernels he harvested enough
the first year to plant several square
rods of ground the second year, the
yield from this planting being at the
rate of more than 100 bushels per
acre, wcll-filed heads; the kernels are
large. plump and hard and millers say

COFFEE EYES.
1t Acts slowly but Frequently Pro-

The curious effect Of slow daily poi

bers Of cases where the eyes are af-

A case IN point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego, Mont. expert

upon her eyes in the form of incrcas

that nothing else could be seen for

daL,uu Ruttcr on the Farm

Making Butter on the Farm.
There are two prime essentials In
making butter on the farm a profitable
business In the first place, one must
have plenty Of pure, cold water, and
then good enough grade must be
turned out to make and hold custom
ers. The trouble with nine out Of every
ten farm homes is they are not equipped
to take care of milk and cream When
one goes into this work to make
money, better put up a milk room,
where pure water may be had from
pumping or from a spring. Concrete
floor and walls may now be built as
cheaply as with lumber, and it Is n
great deal better than lumber. Don't
stop here. A barrel churn and butter
maker will be necessary in turning out
4 uniform product. 1t looks easy
simply separating the cream. churning
till the butter comes, and sailing, and
the trick IS done. That is where so
many fail The cream must be churned
at the right temperature; it must be
neither too sweet nor too sour. Work
ing and sailing butter to secure uni
form color ana flavor IS a very nice art.
Don't try to learn to do 1t infallibly
in two or three weeks. but by all means
don't practice {. your customers That
means loss. 1t is better to wait two or
three months before you seek custom
ers. And, before You ship, find out
how your commission man or private
customers prefer to have their butter
put up. Sometimes the package means
difference Of two or three cents a
pound
