SpDprote ROOsts,

When housing birds for winter it
should be taken into consideration
that the young birds require little
more attention than the old ones, and
that the same conveniences do not
suit all ages. Old stock will get
along well on almost any kind of a
roost, but it is not so with young
birds. Their bones are composed
mostly of animal matter and are cas-
lily bent and thus easily deformed.
If chick is forced to sit all night
on little, narrow pole 1t will cause
him to bend almost double in order
to remain there and be comfortable,
and he will soon become crooked
backed, have leg weakness, or have a
crooked breast. Have separate roosts
for the young and old stock. The
young birds will choose the fiat, wider
pieces of board, and the old stock
will naturally take the higher ones
and better results will follow

q mixed Cock and do not wish to dis
pose of them at once and start with
pure bred poultry, but want to i'm
prove the laying qualities of your
mixed stock, get a pure bred cock
bird from some fancier who has a
good laying strain. Mate him with
your mixed hens and the next genera
tion will be better layers. Remem-
Der the male bird is half your flock.
You can get a pure bred male bird
that is not good enough in color per-
haps to reproduce his own breed, but
is in other respects good bird and
just what you need to introduce new
blood into your mixed flock.-Farm-

Farming on the Yukon.

w. M. Swinehart has compiled for
publication the results of his expert
ence in farming at Fort Selkirk, and
these show that, taking one season
with another, the crops raised and the
prices received for the product are
sufficient to cause the average farmer
In the States to look to the North
with envy. Oat hay, the chief crop
produced, yields. about three tons to
the acre, and sells readily In the
spring at from 800 to $125 per ton.
Demand has never been lacking for
all the hay the farm produces, since
the Dawson-White Horse stage line,
on which from $50 to 400 horses are
used every winter for several months,
passes within a few miles of the
farm. Potatoes yield from three to
five tons to the acre and bring as
much as twenty-five cents a pound.
The average price for a series of
years has been fraction over twenty
cents pound. Rutabagas yield six
tons to the acre, and sell for six cents
a pound, or $720 an acre. Carrots
yield three tons to the acre and sell
for fifteen cents pound, return of
5000 per acre. Cabbages vary in pro-
duction according to season, ranging
from three to eight tons to the acre
and the price ranges from fifteen to
twenty cents per pound. 1t is an
exceptional season when the Swine
hart farm does not net its owners an
income of s10,000.-Seattle Post In

Not Hurt.

A gentleman owning a sugar estate
In Demerara went out to visit 1t for
the first time. The day after his ar
rival he stood watching the punts
bringing the cane home. A young
negro boy who was driving the mules,
wishing to increase the speed of these,
struck one Of them with his whip.
The mule promptly responded by
launching out with his heels and dealt
the boy kick on the head which
stretched him out on the ground,
where he lay rubbing his woolly pate
on the spot where the kick had been
received.
"Is he hurt? Is he hurt?" cried
the planter in alarm. A full grown
negro hearing the expressions of con-
cern sprang forward hastily, and.
raising the mules heels, shouted out:
"No, boss! That mule him walk
tendeh To- day or two, but him no
hurt."-Chambers' Journal.

A Study of Plant Food.

The principal foods of plants are
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
and 1t is these substances in the man
ure upon which plants principally
feed When fertilizers are applied
the farmer gives his crops identically
the same principal foods that he sup
plies from barnyards, with the differ
ence that in the use of fertilizers he
knows just how many pounds of nj
trogen (or ammonia) ,phosphoric acid
and potash he applies per acr", while
the proportions of these substances In
the manure are unknown and much
depends upon the kinds of foods from
which the manure is produced and
the manner 1t has been cared for.
Barnyard manure, while 1t pos
sesses just what may be needed, con-
tains some substances in greater pro-
portion than of others. Thus clover
is a plant that prefers lime in some
form and requires very little ammo
MIA, while wheat does not require as
much lime as the clover. The barn
yard manure is expected to furnish
both substances to each crop, and yet
there might be waste of ammonia
from the manure applied to the clo-
ver
The custom has been to haul out
the manure and spread 1t for corn,
with hopeful results and from the
same heap the farmers would spread
the same kind of manure on the
ground prepared for wheat. All this
was proper enough in its way, for no
one can deny the fact that barnyard
manure possesses nearly all the re-
quirements of plants-of every kind
but why should there be applied
that which would be wasted>because
of not being put to proper use?
improvement is taking place in the
domain of agriculture, marching
along steadily and swiftly, cutting
down in its path the follles Of the
past and adding more knowledge and
experience to the farmers, and to
nothing has more thoughtful atten-
tion been given than to the enrich
ment of the soil-supplying plants
with the best available foods, accord
ing to their individual requirements.

Taking Care of the Harness.

"There is nothing like leather. {"
But there is nothing like knowing
how to keep your leather goods in
fine condition, too. Leather is COM
posed of a mass of fine tendrils, inti-
mately interlocked and entwined.
When in good, pliable condition, each
tendril is capable of much stretching.
If allowed to become dry and hard,
when the leather is subjected to a
severe pull, the tendrils break instead
of stretching. But this does not
mean that leather boots OF harness
should be kept soaked with oil or
dressing. Elbow grease applied in
quantity is better. "All dressings
should be applied sparingly," is the
sound advice of big saddlery con-
cern. Black oil should always be
used on black harness and not neats-
foot oil, as the latte: oil, if it is used,
will draw out the black dye and leave
the harness brown. The black har-
| ness fats now on the market make ex-
cellent farm harness dressing. They
contain the "nourishment" necessary
for keeping the harness in good order.
But first, all dirt should be washed
off with lukewarm water and Or
dinary soap. The black fat should
then be applied with cloth, given
short time to penetrate the leather,
and then rubbed dry with another
cloth. Some make the mistake of oil
ing without unbuckling the harness.
The parts that need nourishment the
most are under the buckles, where
the metal causes hardness and brittle
ness. If people would vary the holes
of the harness occasionally it would
last much longer.
An objection to neatsfoot oil is
that it inclines to wash off the bees
wax from the stitches, leaving the
bare thread, which then soon breaks.

Lambs Dying From wool.Ball.

In cases of lambs dying from this
trouble, 1t is well to remember that
this may and does arise from two
separate causes.
Firstly, when grass Is scarce and
ewes are short of milk, in the case OF
twin lambs, it is usually the bigger
and stronger of the twins that dies
This may appear strange, but it is
easily explainable. When the milk is
short, the stronger lamb drives OFF
the weaker one from the dam, and
by its persistent tugging at the empty
udder for the sustenance it fails to
obtain, 1t takes into its stomach por-
tions of wool from about the udder OF
its dam, which forms into a ball in
the stomach and causes death. In
such cases the shepherd should lose
no time in going over the flock and
cutting away the WOO, from the vicin-
ity of the udders.
Secondly, when the ewes are af-
fected with sheep ticks, the lambs by
the upstroke of the heads in seeking
for the teats dislodge the ticks and
these fall into the coats of the lambs
They are not accustomed to such
visitors and seek to rid themselves
by biting the ticks and in so doing
take into their stomachs portions OF
their own wool, death resulting.
Thus in post mortems to elucida.e
causes of death 1t is necessary to note
whether the wool-ball is composed ol
eve or lamb wool, before effective
measures of precaution and proven.
tion can be taken.-W. r. Gilbert, In
The Epitomist.

Euuip the Farm.

The scarcity of help on farms will
ultimately drive land owners to
greater economy and to more gen
eral use of devices and conveniences
which tighten the work. 1t Is sur
prising how many try to get along
by muscle power alone, never trying
out any other method, which might
save half their work. An old farmer
says that his neighbors called him
lazy when he first brought a hay
loader onto his farm, and when he
rugged up a cable and used a trip
hay fork to unload his hay he had a
good bunch of farmers around him,
"just to see how 1t worked" The
close figuring farmer counts all of
these labor savers just that much of
his equipment, and it is only by us
ing them that he is enabled to meet
present conditions. The walking
stirring plow and walking cultivators
are back numbers. Now the sulky
or gang plow is used, and three big,
lusty horses will turn over three or
four acres a day. A manufacturer
has now gotten out rotary harrow
which is attached to the plow, and
the land is turned and narrowed al
one operation. l believe that If any
man is justified in borrowing money
1t is when he invests it in up-to-date
tools and implements for more rapid
and better work on the sarm.-In.

To Cleanse Ponds.

Many ponds, small lakes, streams
and brooks and even the natural
basins which serve to catch the winter
rains to be utilized during the rain
less season for stock water frequently
become clogged with vegetable
growth which renders the water
nauseous In taste and repulslve In
smell. In almost every case these
conditions are produced by a small
plant whose origin Is unknown to the
farmer and the effect OF which Is
serious. TO drain the water off will
not cause the destruction OF the
growth, for as soon as the water Is
returned the plants begin to grow
again. A simple way and an inexpen-
slve one, Is to draw small bag filled
with sulphate of copper (blue yltroD /,

If the pond Is small or the growth Is

that a viscid growth resembling moss
in strings appears in water tanks
and troughs at the wind mill or where
a stream falls from spring. The
growth may be effectually killed by
using copper sulphate as described.
Let 1t be borne in mind that copper
sulphate is poison and should be used
with care. A dollars worth will clear

That Is part OF an interesting
article by George Bernard Shaw,
based on n chapter In his life and
apparently intended to call attention
to his greatness. But, on closer scru-
tiny, all OF this Is seen to be one of
Mr.. Shaw's characteristic showman's 8
tricks for arouslng his readers In
terest before preaching serious
doctrine.
So, after leading up to a hard rap
at the poor middle class parents who
overestimate the dignity Of clerk
pulDo anu tut
of labor, Mr.. Shaw continues:
"You cannot make an Arab a
clerk; you cannot make North
American a clerk, but you can make
an imperial Engllshmah a clerk
quite easily. All you have to is to
drop him into poor middle class
family with father who cannot af-
ford to keep him, give him capital
to start life with or carry his educa-
tion beyond the elementary stage, but
who would yet be disgraced II the
son became workingman. Given
these circumstances what can the
poor wretch do but become a clerk?
I'm genteel modification of this
course I became clerk myself My
father was corn merchant and mill
owner, and, like ninety-nine men out
of hundred, pursued n routine he
didn't know anything about and at
tributed his difficulties vaguely to
want of capital. He landed In the
Bankruptcy Court, and as result
spent four and half years in an
Office before l was twenty years old.
II may have had comparatively
easy time, but didn't get much
pay-as clerk, Of course, / was
always 'learnlng'-even though |
reached a position of responsibility.
One of the worst things about being
clerk, found, was that l always
dreamed myself back In the Office
during sleeping hours, my employer
thus swlndling me by annexing a por.
tion of my out-of-oflice time.
"One of my clerkly acquaintance
was an ancient bookkeeper-long
since dead-whom asked enc day II
he intended to make bookkeeper of
his son. He was usually mlld-man-
nered but suddenly he became vehe-
ment to the verge of fury and de-
clared that rather than see his son
clerk he would have let him die in
the cradle. wondered whether there
was any clerk alive who really liked
being a clerk and who would choose
that occupation for his son.

employer offered me his job, but
refused. He wanted my place for a
