Two Good Tricks.

Take a quarter OF q dollar between

ton that you would use 10 spin o tee

spiIlina Salt.

Boys and girls have all heard per
haps that Il Is unlucky 10 spill salt, but
that the evil effects may probably be
averted by throwing some OF 1t over
your right shoulder II h wonderful
how old some Of these superstitions
are. This one about the salt, for ex'
ample. came 10 us from the ancient
Romans. Salt was regarded by them
as an emblem OF publication, and they
always placed some on the head OF a
victim In sacrifice. III the salt were
spilled in doing this II was looked on
as a bad omen. II Is said that tho
Romans got the custom from the Jews,
and after awhile the spllling OF salt on
any occasion was regarded as unlucky
The custom OF throwing a part OF II
over the right shoulder arose from
their belief that anything pertaining
to the right side was lucky, but to the
eft side unlncky

When you come TO look into IL, II Is
quite astonishing how many games

To make poultry profitable on the
farm Il is necessary to breed for bet
ter laying. This is done by installing
trap nests ia the henhouses and each
year picking out the best layers and
breeding only from such. The farmer
must grade up his stock: be must get
rid OF the mongrel birds; he must
drive out the drones and must encour-
age the workers. The farm must pro-
duce better poultry and more Of II.
There are advantages on the farm
for poultry raising that the poultry
man does not have, and II the latter.
in many ways handicapped, can make

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Seed Corn Selection.

Seed corn should be selected from
stalks that mature just before the av-
erage time OF the first frost, which In
Michigan occurs about Sept. 10. Corn
that natures earlier than this fails to
use all OF the growing season. while
that which ripens later is injured.
Some farmers select seed ears by re-
moving them from the standing stalks,
hut a number OF progressive corn
growers and some Investigators, in
deed, now hold to the opinion that
corn that is to be used for seed should
be allowed to remain on the stalk until
husking time and offer the reason that
corn removed from the stalk at an
earlier period is lacking In vitality. In
case this practice is followed each ear
selected is marked by tying upon II a
bright string. The stalks bearing these
marks are cut and shocked with the
balance Of the crop, and at husking
time the marked ears are saved by
themselves.-J. A. jeffrey, Michigan
Experiment Station.

for curing balky horse. but II Is this
writer's experience that II requires
more than one recipe very often TO ef'

cures are at hand. Here is one from
the Breeders Gazette: withhold water
from the horse the first day, bitch him
up, and II be refuses 30 pull keep him
thirsty 10 the second dny. In most
cases the horse is then willing 20 work.
yet In bad cases the water has TO be
withheld for three days. Care should
,be taken not to let the horse have too
much water when be starts 10 work
II is better TO give him II several times
and only a little each time. Never wa
ter the horse until after the work Tor
the FIRST two weeks. After that be Will
