Rirht. of the Hired Man.

A little thought and a little put
yourself in his place" would do won
ders in solving the problem Of "How to
keep the hired man on the farm" OF
course there are many worthless fell
lows strolling about the country looking
for Jobs as farm hands, and any en-
ployer is liable to get one of them.
On the other hand, there are many
employers who treat their men in such
a manner that no self-respecting young
man would remain in their service.
AS rule the hand who goes at his
work cheerfully and does not complain
If a little extra job comes his way, Is
the man who can always find a place
at the best wages going, while the one
who grumbles at his regular work and
fatty refuses to do an extra task is al
ways moving from place to place. The
employer who is considerable to his
men, who does not impose upon them
by word or deed, is the one who can al
ways get good men, and he seldom has
to hunt them up. The hired man is
entitled to a good bed and comfortable
room, with a place for his clothing. He
is entitled to good, wholesome food
and, above ALL ne is entitled to decent
treatment and kind words.

IN. Farmer., Pro.perity.

No better evidence of the prosperity
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 rs compared with recent
years.
Practically all of the State shows this
year had greater numbers of rural Wis
itors 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
years.-Goodalrs Farmer.

A fruit wrapping machine has been

rolls down slight incline to the oper-

The fruit is lifted and placed stem up
in rubber cups, which carry 1t to a me

cut and printed from the roll The

value of Trap Nests.


To become convinced of the amount
must use them. He will then find out
for q certainty which of his hens are
laying well and which are not. Per-
haps he will be surprised to learn that
some of the best egg producers he has
are apparently his poorest specimens.
This is quite likely to happen, for not
by any means is it always the finest
looking hens-the hens which would
score highest in the show pen-that
will lay the most eggs. Needless to say,
the best layers only should be kept If
a flock Is disgraced by egg-eaters, the
trap nest will pick the guilty ones out,
likewise the drone, SO that the flock
may be culled until only profitable
stock is left. AS but one hen can be
present at time to lay, 1t also does
away with crowding and quarreling,
whereby the danger of breaking the
eggs in the nest is lessened. 1t indi-
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 cf 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 1t
requires a 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 hal Oily
to be recommended.-Agric Bplt-

dromedary's cage, eyes popping and
mouth agape at the strange beast The
circus began and he still stood, looked
and wondered, until fully fifteen min

spat on the ground disgustedly, and
said: "Hell! there ain no such ami
mall" To this the American Grocer
adds, "There are thousands of readers
and advertisers who know they can
derive great benefit and make money
by reading trade journals. They have
noted that their competitors who
subscribe for their trade paper some

prosperous, but they had no time for
such things, and not being able to re-
flute the argument, they were like the
