divorce proceedings is not generally I'M

whichever side be plaintiff, should stop,

would be adjusted out of court entirely
"As rule, judges are inclined to
afford ample time for domestic partners
to ponder well before pursuing further
toward legal redress for matrimonial
difficulties. Divorce in haste and re-

different opinion does not ensue, the av-

must use them. He viii then find out
FOR certainty which of his hens are

haps he will be surprised to learn that
some Of the best egg producers he has

likewise the drone, so that the flock
may be culled until only profitable
stock is left AS but one hen can be
present at a time to lay, 1t also does
away with crowdlng and quarreling,
whereby the danger of breaking the
eggs in the nest is lessened. 1t indl-
Gates, too, which hens are the winter
layers, the layers of the most fertile
eggs, the most symmetrical ones and
the brown, the white and the speckled
ones. At the same time it necessi-
tates frequent handling by taking the
hens off the nest, so that even the
widest birds become more tame, and
are less likely to scare. Summed up
briefly, 1t enables the breeder to get
in touch with the individual hen, ascer-
tain her good and bad qualities, and
satisfy himself of her general condi-
ton. The only objection that can be
raised against 1t, any way, is that it
requires lot of attention. The nests
want visiting every other hour, at
least, and every hour would be better,
through the day. For the shiftless
poultryman, therefore, they are hardly
to be recommended.-Agr agricultural Eplt-

Practical Farm Notes.

Don't fail to cut out and burn any
canes infested by insects and diseases.
Have you ever noticed that men who
are the most successful farmers stick
to the crops they know most about,
making a speciality of them? The man
who experiments with every new thing
that comes along will find it expensive

Measure the stack in length, width and

the over and divide by four Then
multiply the result by length. To re-

Of those engaged in agricultural pur-
suits is needed than TO witness the
showing of wealth at the various State
fairs this season. Chicagoans who at
tended the annual shows at Iowa.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio
and Kentucky have returned with the
most cheering reports Of prosperity In
the farming districts as was well shown
by the increased attendance at each OF
the State fairs as compared with recent
years.
Practically all of the State shows this
year had greater numbers of rural Wis
ltors than have ever attended before.
Were the farmers a little pinched for
money doubtless many of them would
have remained away from their State
fairs, viewing a few days study and
pleasure as a luxury which they could
not afford. This year, however, the
farmers turned out In record numbers,
and spent more money than in former
