Thrill For Nitroglycerin Handler.

Thrill For NitrOglycerin Handler.
Fran Hall, local oil we'll shooter,
had 'scary'' experience recently
He was carrying a can containing
eight quarts of nitroglycerin past the
end of pile of casing at a drilling
well just sthe driller came from
the derrick floor and stepped on a
Joint of the pipe.
1t was balanced in the middle and
his weight caused the other end to
tip up, striking the bottom of the
can carried by Hall. Both the men
held their breaths for an instant,
awaiting the explosion that they had
good cause to expect would follow,
but they were agreeably surprised
In nothing of the kind occurring.
The tin bottom was dented, but
there was enough spring in the tin
to absorb the shock of the collision
without disturbing to the exploding
point the dangerous contents. Oil

How scarecrow Earns His Wages.

AS he stands in the middle of the
fiat Suffolk field there is little 10
show that he is mot the ordinary
inanimate scarecrow. He stands mo-
tionless for five minutes at time,
and only when a bird is tempted by
the fresh corn just appearing above
tue ground does he show any sign
of life. But then it is that the
scarecrow moves; he hits an old tin
can with with the rusty handle of
a shovel and frightens the birds and
makes them fly quickly out Of sight.
So he spends his day, this old,
bent man, and at the end he is paid
LIZ pence. He is the village scare
crow.

NoTEs or T!TIE FARM.

What can be done to induce farm
ers to be little more thorough in
destroying weeds?
There are often good crops on one
side of line and poor crops on the
other, but the cause is often misun-
derstood.
For farmer good backing is
better than good front" Still at
tractive suits of clothes and manners
may be valuable aids.
Hens bred for phenomenal egg rec
ords are not SO apt to have strong,
rugged offspring,
An average of one hundred and If
ty eggs per hen per annum is mighty
good laying. and good enough for us.
Extra heavy layers as pullets and
yearIing hens are not SO valuable in
their second year as steady layers.
There is no such thing as an egg
laying type. The trap nest exposed
that theory beyond a doubt.
Hens forced for egg production win
in time produce a weak generation.
Pure food is the safest stimulation
to use.
Heavy winter layers are generally
poor summer layers, and vice versa.
The largest eggs are produced by
steady layers.
The more eggs hen lays the
smaller the size becomes.
The color of the brown egg grows
lighter as the numbers Of Ter pro-
duct increase.
The bulk of eggs are laid between
the hours of 10 a. m. and 3 p. IN.
The hen that will produce from
thirty to fifty eggs in succession will
not have vigorous germs in her eggs.
The puIlet that does not lay her
eggs until February is mot profta-
BILE bird to keep.
The winter laying pullets are those
which begin laying in November or
early in December.
Any wholesome food that the hens
relish is good poultry feed, of course
they must be used intelligently or
mixed with brains.
Hens greatly relish nut meats, the
shells that the children have partly
them, but it would not be wise to
give them bait of nut meat each
day; indigestion would be a certain
result.

KEEP WATER BEFORE CHICKs.

Fannie N. Wood. in the Indiana
Farmer, says If yong chicks
are left too long without water they
will drink too much when they do
get it; then we are very likely to
have sick chicks. Water should be
kept before them all the time. A
shallow pan covered with a light
board filled full of auger holes is a
good way to give them water so they
can drink without getting wet.

HANDLING Young COLTS

One of the best horse-raisers we
know of works his mares right UP to
the time of foaMng and then turns
them out on the pasture and lets
them run with their colts till wean-
ing time. OF course he has strong,
lusty colts. and his brood mares are
always in pink of condition for the
following season. But on many farms
the brood mares must be hard work
ed all summer. When these good
mares must be pressed into this dou-
BILE duty, one should give them the
best OF care, liberal feed, and keep
them from fretting over their colts.
We have never found it advisable to
have the colt trampling along after
the team~all day in the field. Keep
the colt in box stall at home. This
makes extra work, until the colt is
month old, but it will save time
and much annoyance after that. The
mare will have to be handled as care
fully as the colt. She is apt to fret,
until she becomes accustomed to be
ing away from her colt, her udder is
apt to hurt her, if it is not relieved
frequently All OF these things, with
hard work, will naturally cut her
down. Feed well, be patient with
both mare and colt, and after the first
six weeks, you will have very little
trouble.-Indiana Farmer.

MARES LOSING THEIR COLTS.

There has been an uncommon fatal
lty among colts this spring and horse
men have not found the cause of the
trouble. In discussing this matter
witch "a prominent farmer few days
ago, ne attributed the whole trouble
to feeding soft and mouldy corn to
the mares. 1t is we'll known fact
that mouldy grain and hay will some
times cause abortion. While this inn
mature corn was frozen it could be
fed to all kinds of stock, without
much danger, but as soon as warmer
weather came on and the corn thawed
out then the trouble began. 1t is
rather late now to head of the trou-
bile, hut the lesson is well worth re-
membering when another season OF
soft corn comes around Indiana

REMAINS COTTON
