Many families, however. make no dif-
ference between Sundays and other
days
Clothes and Medicines.
The total expenditure for clothes Is
about ssl. Generally $50 for the father.
$50 for the mother and SO for the three
children. Ten dollars a year must be
spent for repairs and laundry supplies
Eleven dollars annually go for the pres
ervation of the health of the family:
almost none for the care of the teeth
From these and other facts our COM
mittee reached the conclusion that an
income Of $500 to 500 is Insufficient for
a family of five 10 live properly in New
York. No self-respecuing family should
be asked OF expected to live OF such
an income.
The s10O-;S0O class we considered as

For breakfast this family has rolls

nature of the meal varies with the ma
t.Onality of the family. Some families
are satisfied with herring or . piece
OF sliced salmon for breakfast. The
father or wage Garner is usually not
home for lunch. This. however. means
an additional expense TO the family OF
SIS for lunches eaten away from home
The other members of the family

In nearly all these families the i'm

the litter being rescratched into it.
Squash bugs.

The squash bug never lays its eggs
on the stem, unless by accident, but
the under side of the leaves The eggs
are of dark chestnut color, globular
in form, and exist in clusters. They
may be found by turning up the leaves,
when the eggs may be crushed. An.
other insect deposits it's eggs on the
stem; this is the borer The larvae,
as soon as Matched, eat into the stem,
and are then difficult to dislodge. One
of the most effectual remedies against
enemies Of the squash is a solution of
saltpeter, which is prepared by dis.
solving a teaspoonful in quart OF
water and sprinkling it over the plant,
though sawdust, saturated with tur.
pentine, is also used on the ground
around each plant with success.

Denatured Alcohol School.

AS result of plans which have

son of the department of agriculture,
there will be established shortly in his
department at Washington denat tured
alcohol school. This will include a
small but complete dlstilling outfit, in
Guiding vats, worms, engines and other
necessary apparatus, while it will be
the aim Of the secretary and his spe.
cialists to give practical demonstra.
tlon of what denatured alcohol Is, how
1t is made and from what products to
all visitors at Washington who may be
interested in the subject. Dr. II. w.

ment, has been assigned to the job.

Experiment station Bulletins.


1t always has been and always will
be true that scientists can but point
the way and practical men must dem
onstrate in practical way all new
Developments along the line of i'm
provement In agricultural and breed
ing problems. Our experiment stations
are doing excellent work and are not
only introducing new ideas, but are
also condemning practices that were
considered good by those who thought
they were right but had no way of
demonstrating their propositions. Prac-
teal men should be slow to discredit
the work of these institutions and
should work In harmony with them for
the general uplift Of the cause which
they are all trying to better. The ac-
feasibility Of the work done at these
stations makes 1t easy for every one
to keep in close touch with the work
being done. The bulletins issued are
cheerfully sent to all who will apply
for them without cost to the recipient,
so that there Is no excuse for any one
not knowing just what Is being done
by these working scientists who
are always glad to spread the news
OF new discoveries or new ideas. II

story of an Amateur PouItryman.

Story of an Amateur Poultryman.
About the most sensible (and |
might add. also, the most profitable,
beginning | ever saw made in the poul-
try business was by young clerk, who
lived In the suburbs of nearby city.
He sustained severe attack of the
"hen fever" and. as is the usual occur
renee, became enthused over the 'enor-
NOUS profits to be made with poultry.
He did not however, allow his
enthusiasm to get the best of the bet
ter judgment, and cause him to resign
his clerkship and Immediately embark
in the poultry business on a more or
less extended scale, as has so frequent
ly occurred but, instead, he held on to
his clerkship, fixed up a good, comfort
able little house on back lot, bought
n dozen standardized hens and
rooster at dollar head, of neigh
boring fancier, and thus made his
start.
This was early in the spring; during
the spring and summer he furnished
the family table with eggs and chick
ems, and, besides, hatched and raised
something like hundred young chicks.
Out of these he retained twenty-five Of
the best pullets for breeders, and, Of
course, at the same time enlarging his
house room and so, by the next spring,
wefnd that his business has, from nat
ural causes, tripled itself, and all this
time our friend has been steadily and
rapidly gaining in practical knowledge
of the business.
This natural increase continued for
another year or two and by this time
he had his business so firmly establish
ed on paying basis that he was justl-
fed in buying small farm out at the
edge Of town, and then and there be-
coming a full-fledged poultryman, max
ing this his exclusive occupation.
Speaking Of profits, he recently told
me that he scarcely managed to meet
expenses the first year, the second
year he slightly more than kept even,
while subsequent years have not failed
to show a nice little sum on the right
~ide of the ledger.-Outing.
