A Mans Life.

My life-a mans life-is always, and especially to-day, a poor thing enough, but this poor thing, consecrat- ed to a great and holy cause, may grow with it; and when man has made to such a cause the sacrifice of his future, I believe that he ought to shrink from none of its consequences, none of it's dangers.-Comte de Mon talembert.

Making Friends.

A man picked up a stone because he was afraid of dogs-the dogs growled at him. So he picked up more stones, and the dogs snarled at his heels; then he gathered still more stones. But when the stones became 50 heavy that he could carry them no longer, he threw them all away And the dogs came and licked his hands.

Alcohol Versus Gasoline.

In the spring of 1906 the national
congress passed an act which became
a law Jan. permitting the withdrawal
from bond, tax free. of domestic alco-
hol when it was denatured or rendered
unfit for human consumption by the
addition Of certain materials repug-
nant to the taste and smell The pas
sage of this law has aroused much
speculation as to the possibilities of this
new, fuel. The experiment station COM
pared gasoline and alcohol with four
objects in view-viz, % the heat value
Of the fuels; % their economy in the
productfbn of light; 60 their economy
in the production of power. and az the
relative safety of gasoline and alcohol
for general Use. The conclusions reach
ed in these experiments will prove very
interesting to every reader.
'9The Comparative Values of Alcohol
and Gasoline For Light and Power is
the name Of bulletin No. 93, which can
be obtained by applying to Director
Charles F. Curtiss, Iowa experiment

Pluckinu Geese.

1t is not wise to pluck geese intended
as breeders. A goose that is plucked
two or three times year will not lay
as many eggs, as fertile eggs nor as
early as a goose that is allowed to go
through her mott naturally. If the
goose is to raise her goslings they will
suffer for lack of her downy feathers
IL she is plucked before they are old
enough to get along without brooding
If the goslings have been brought Out
early the geese may be plucked during
May and June. In plucking tie the tips
of the wing feathers together instead
of crossing the wings on the back, as
is often done At the best plucking a
goose is very unpleasant for the goose,
and the work should be done as hui
namely as possible. While feeding a
plentiful supply of gravel should be
given in a trough of water.

HANDY NEEDING TROUGH.

trough. Get two guards or staples like
those used on wagon box to hold
sideboards and put an iron rod through
the staples. Swing the door out to the
edge of the trough. Bore hole in the
edge of the trough to let the rod drop
in. Swing the door In and bore hole
on the inside edge of the trough to let
the rod drop in. Now your trough is
outside of the pen. Turn feed in the
trough and pull up the rod, swing to
the outside of the trough, drop the rod
in the hole, and your trough is inside
the pen. have used this arrangement
for twenty years and have never found
anything to beat 1t yet, says a writer
in the Practical Farmer. The rod
should be bent over at the top for a
handle, as shown in the illustration.

The Red Spider.

In dealing with that troublesome lit
tie pest, the red spider, a really success
full remedy is found in some of the
liquid tobacco or nicotine extracts,
now fairly numerous on the market.
They may be used either by vaporiza-
ton over heat, directly with steam
pressure, or by spraying cold dilutions
in water. They are rather costly and
must be handled with care, as they are
particularly deadly internal poison TO
humans as well as animals, but are
effective when used according to di-
reetions and little harmful to even the
most delicate plants, states Rural New
Yorker. This remedy is Of course eff
fectiye on less resistant insects, such
as aphids, thrips and scales. 1t does
not promise much as regards white fy
or outdoor scales, but we have good
remedies for these pests IN hydrocy-
anic gas and soluble oils.

Storing Fruit and Vegetables.

All cellars for the storage of fruit
and vegetables should be as cold as
possible without freezing and should
be aired as often as the outside tenn
perature will admit. If inclined to
dampness quantities of air Stacked
lime should be placed there in boxes
or pals. This will absorb the moisture
gases and keep the cellar dry and
sweet. As matter Of prudence in re-
gard to health, it is advisable to keep
lime in the cellar, remarks writer in
New England Homestead. From time
to time throughout the winter sort

begun to decay These feed to the
hens or the pigs The fruit lying next

likely to rot.

Do Bone Cutters Pay?

One pound of cut bone for a dozen
hens once day, which should not cost
over a cent a pound, will produce more
eggs than five times as much grain,
because the cut bone is complete in
egg making substances, while the grain
is largely deficient in many respects,
says the Mirror and Farmer. Some
persons affirm that it does not pay to
procure bone cutter for small fiocks
That is mistake. Bone cutters are
now cheaper than many ordinary gar
den tools and are strong, durable and
efficient. The cost of the bone cutter
is soon regained in the increased mum
Der of eggs laid.

WOOD RACK.

Bore holes one and three-quarter
inches in diameter, two and one-half
feet apart, the entire length of the
poles. Into these ft small poles to
form the bed Of the rack. Now bore
holes fer the t.pgight stakes close to
the crosspieces. Cut the stakes four
and one-haif feet long and fit them.
When this rack is used the poles
should be piled On lengthwise, while
for cord wood the tilnbers are laid
crosswise. The rack is also very
handy for hauling fodder, as the bum
dies can be piled up crosswise and
kept in very good shape for unloading.

The Erizzle Fowl.

These birds derive their name from
the peculiar manner in which their
feathers curve upward and backward
at the ends as if in defiance of natures
laws, the curving being most conspic-
uous in the hackle and saddle feathers.
There is no set color Of plumage,
though it should be a solid color, and
the birds should match in color when
exhibited In pairs, trios and pens. The
colors met are black, white, red and
bay. The size also varies, but they are
mostly medium sized fowls.

Fannie Woods Poultry Talk.

Now is a good time to get a trio Of
turkeys if you want to try turkey rails
ing. But If you do not have plenty of
space you had better let turkeys alone,
as they do not thrive upon intensive
lines.
Fill up or drain every puddle where
poultry might drink. Then keep the
drinking vessels clean If you want
healthy chickens.
This is the time when disease Is apt
to take hold of the flock. Scatter lime

TROUGH FEEDING.
A Poultry Writer Mentions Some
Drawbacks to the Plan.


A Poultry Writer Mentions Some
Drawbacks to the Plan.
There are domineering hens in every
flock of fowls, and these keep the
timid ones in fear and subsection to a
greater or lesser extent, says the Agri-
cultural Epitomist.
When food Is given In trough
where the hens can eat their fill the
domineering ones keep some Of the
sthers back and often eat twice as
much as their share, while the less for
tunate ones do not get enough to salts
~ either their desires or their needs.
The best way out of this difficulty
is not to use troughs at all, but to
scatter the grains in some sort Of a
litter and compel everyShen to scratch
and hunt for her share, thus giving
them all an equal chance. 1t Is better
to feed in litter that the hens may be
compelled to take time to pick up their
food rather than stuff their crops en-.
tirely full in just few minutes, as
they will then digest much larger
proportion of the food consumed, and
the good exercise they thus secure will
serve to keep them in a good healthy
condition, and they will therefore be
less liable to disease.
Troughs or their equivalent are nee
essary, however, where soft food is
fed. But to avoid monopoly by few
it is better to have several small
troughs placed at different points than
to have only one large trough and put
all the feed in this.

Ducks on the Farm.

The notion is still prevalent that
ducks cannot be raised well without
free access to water. This has been
repeatedly shown to be erroneous SO
far as the improved sorts are concern
ed. Many of the largest breeders have
only wells, and the water supplied for
drinking purposes is all they receive.
Yet just as many birds are raised, the
only perceptible difference being that
the water birds have a little finer
plumage. But the difference is lost
sight of when the birds are plucked
for market

COLOR OF FRUITS.

Minerals That Should Be Available Ia
the Soil.
One of the chief attractions Of the
fruits that are sold on our markets
and that win purchasers for them at
good prices is their color. A fruit may
be- good in flavor, but if it is not at
tractive to the eye it is not likely to
sell nearly SO well as one of poorer
quality that has been decorated by ma
ture with beautiful coloring.
There are several things necessary
to the natural coloring of fruits, among
which are moisture. heat, light and
the proper elements in the soil and in
available forms Indeed. nearly all
plant growth depends on all these be-
ing supplied in abundance.
Some Essential Elements.
But it does not matter how pure the
air may be nor how much sunshine If
the proper elements are not in the soil
from which the coloring matter may be
extracted. There are several minerals
that are absolutely essential to the
coloring of fruits Among these are
iron, magnesia and potash.
Lime is often needed, and so are pot
ash, phosphorus and a few other min
erals. Fortunately, iron, which is one
Of the most essential of the coloring
properties, is usually contained in all
arabic soils in sufficient quantities and
In available forms. Potash, which has
a great influence over the perfection OF
both the flavor and color of fruits, is
unfortunately not nearly SO generally
present in abundance or not in avail
able forms. There is no plant food that
is applied to fruit crops with such ben
efcial effects as potash. This is best
supplied from the several commercial
forms, such as muriate and sulphate
of potash, and is needed to perfect the
fruits
Supplying Potash.
Some fruit growers say that potash
is the paint that nature uses to make
her colors. Whether this is true or not,
there is no doubt that we can materi-
ally and to the marketable value of
our fruits by supplying available pot
ash to the soil in very many cases. An
application of 200 pounds per acre Of
either muriate or sulphate of potash is
almost sure to help any orchard or
other fruit plantation, writes Fl. 3.
Van Deman in Orange Judd Farmer.
Try this for few years along with
other plant foods and good tillage and
notice the results. Certain roots or
trees should be left without the potash
to show the contrast

Leo Weakness In Ducks.

Leg weakness in ducks when not
due to cold, damp quarters Is usually
the result of an insufficient supply Of
green food. Ducks should be plenti-
fully supplied with green stuff. When
fresh cut rye, corn fodder, grass and
clover cannot be had, they should
have ensilage, cut clover hay or al
falfa. Do not grain them too heavily.
Give green food freely or get them out
on a grass range.
