Value of a Potato Digger.

Farmers raising four acres or more
of potatoes can well afford a potato
digger, but when you buy a digger
get good one. Get digger that
will go down into the ground and
bring the potatoes to the surface and
lay them out in a narrow row ready to
sort and put in the crates. And don't
be frightened out because some one
says they are hard on horses, but in
stead put on four horses and set the
digger a notch deeper. 1t will pay
just in pulverizing the ground.
If you have any quack grass it will
shake the earth from the roots and
leave the quack on top ready for burn
Ing. A good digger gets every potato,
and it gets them quickly, but it takes
power to pull it just the same as a
gang plow takes power. You can't do
anything thoroughly without either a
push or pull. Potatoes make a pay
ing crop if you grown them in quanti-
ties and grow them regularly every
year, but you need machinery to han
die them, for hand labor is too expen-
sive.-Epitomist.

Green Cut Bone.

There's nothing better for laying
hens or growing chicks than green
cut bone. 1t furnishes everything
needed for bone and muscle, develops
the body and makes strong, husky
fowls. For the laying hens it furnish
es a supply of egg-forming materials,
and helps to keep the hens healthy.
If judiciously fed, there is nothing
better than ground bone, and since
bone mills are so cheap and SO per-
feet in their operations, there is no
reason why every one should not own
one.
The writer has found that when less
than one hundred hens were kept it
paid a handsome profit to buy mill.
The bones can be had at any butcher
shop at practically no cost, and the
labor of grinding them on a good cut
ter is just enough for exercise. Ground
bone should be fed about every other
day, or small portion may be given
each day. 1t may be fed as separate
food, or It may be mixed with the
mash. Watch carefully that 1t is Civ.

ply will do great injury.-From the

Making Cement Walks.

because of the expense. If the sand
Is hauled at odd times and the walk
put down in sections as the time can
be spared, the expense will not be felt,
because the cost of materials in the
country is not very great, and then 1t
is a great satisfaction to have good
walks.
If the subsoil rs porous and allows
the water to fall away rapidly so as to
prevent freezing, 1t is not necessary
to excavate for a foundation, as the
walk will not settle. But whore the

the enjoyment of the public forever.
Melbourne has no fewer than 5,400
acres of recreation grounds in or near
the city. Adelaide is surrounded by
belt of park lands and has about
2,300 acres set apart for the public
benefit; nor are Perth and Hobart and
Brisbane and some of the fine inland

How Uncle Sam Teaches Farming.

The Department of Agriculture is
maintained by the United States at
an expense of $11,0OO,OOO annually to
discover and teach improved methods
Of farming. Cooperating with it are
63 state agricultural colleges, with
free tuition. And further important
feature of the system is some 1000
farmers institutes. BY which the
classroom Is taken to the fields wher-
ever so farmers will gather together
to hear lecturers and experts. Some
times these Institutes are sent on
wheels; a railroad train Is chartered
and an entire equipment for demon
stration purposes placed aboard, ac-
companied by horticultuTists, ento-
mologists and botanists. At each lit
tie station halt is made, while the
lecturers from the rear platform ad-
dress the crowd that gathers round.

Waste of Oak Trees.

There is no more striking example
on the Pacific coast of the ruthless
destruction of timber than that which
follows the gathering of oak tanbark.
In the counties of Humboldt and Men
docino in California the industry of
securing oak tanbark has attained con
siderable proportions. Oak trees IS
inches to 3ls feet in diameter, up to
40 feet TO the lambs, are not uncom-
mon. To secure this bark the trees
are felled and the bark is stripped.
The timber is left untouched on the
ground to rot. Until railroad trans
portation can be furnished this waste
will probably continue. The bark in
many instances is secured from indi-
vidual claims, taken up by home
steaders, the timber growth being
practically all oak, which is sacrificed
in order to exc out a precarious live
lihood. From 400 to GOO cords of
bark can be obtained from claim.
Thousands of feet of good oak timber
are sacrificed each year to the bark
gatherer.-The Timberman.

Spraying to XIII Weeds,

Directions for making a spraying So
luton that will kill weeds are given as
follows: Empty hundred pound sack

barrel; fill to the chine with water,
and stir with a hoe for few minutes
until dissolved. Strain through sever
al thicknesses of cheesecloth tackled
over manhole of the spraying machine,
producing real mist free from drops.
Use about fifty gallons to the acre, and
spray on bright, warm day, or on a
dark, damp day; 1t does not mat
ter so long as rain does not come with
in eighteen or twenty hours. This
spray will not narm grain crops, and

other weeds.-American Cultivator

THE "wooLLY" WEST NO MORE
Its Percentage Of Crime Less Than
Those OF the North Atlantic
States

The wild and woolly" West has
been obliterated by the touch of civil
ization-how completely, Is shown by
Prison Chaplain August brahms, in
the Popular Science Monthly for Oc-
tober, from records of the recent Grim
inal census of The United States. The
report of the previous decade showed
the Western States leading in all
other divisions in the crimes of
grand larceny, assault, burglary, rob
berry, forgery, rape, homicide and in
the minor offenses of drunkenness.
This census shows not only a great re-
Guction of crime in the United States
as whole, but brings the Western di-
vision down from that bad eminence
which it has traditlonally occupied.
The West is rising In the scale of
good citizenship, and very rapidly. It's
percentages of crime to population
are less than they we're in the North
Atlantic and North Central divisions
ten years ago; they are hardly larger
now than in these long settled dis
tricts. The negroes In the South and
the foreigners i'm the North present
by their condition OF ignorance and
poverty, the chief problem to the
criminologists. But the people as
whole are rising from this condition,

crimes committed.-New York Times.

Feeding Poultry.

After the oats are cured don't neg.
lect housing several bundles for the
poultry this winter. The way the
hens will scratch among the straw, to
thresh out the grain, will convince
anyone as TO its desirability in pro
noting exercise. Oats as a feed is
also valuable in increasing the egg
yield. Many object to oats on ao
count of the rough hulls, bat we never
had trouble result from feeding them.
and don't think any one will II thera
is always a grit supply handy, and
never allow poultry to gorge them
selves on oats. Always feed 1t mod
erately, and feed with other grain.
While oats are high in price, 1t will
yet pay to preserve some shock oats
for the poultry and also for the mi-S
cows.
It requires much more room to
store sheaf oats, but then one has the
straw also, and the expense of thresh-
ing is saved. The refuse, or weedy
bundles can be saved and fed to the
poultry with profit. They do not need
to be stored but perhaps will pay best
10 be fed at present. Their worth for
storing will depend upon the amount
of weeds contained in the bundles.
There is always more or less shat
tered grain left after the thresher Is
through. This makes good feed for
poultry, and as it is mixed with the
litter more value is added to it. Don't
forget, though, that such litter con-
tains but little food value compared to
the bulk, so don't starve the chicks
while thinking they are well fed.
Times change and in .one sense
poultry has changed, too. They are
of much better quality than those Of
years ago. Now if profit is to be
made from poultry there must be
changes in the management. Old
time emthods will not bring profit in
these days of high priced feed and
close competition.
One must study out the best paying
ways of housing, care and feed; study
also, the value of different food stuffs
as 1t compares with the elements Of
which the egg is composed, and in re-
lation to flesh and fat formation, il
poultry are desired. With
most of us, knowledge of both these
points is essential for fair return
for the work and expense required.
The reports of the various experiment
stations will be sent upon request and
there is much concentrated wisdom in
many Of their poultry reports. Give
these reports and the various books
and articles upon the care of poultry
the attention and study required to
master school lessons, mix with COM
mon sense, secure the very best con-
apply the knowledge and COM
mon sense, and surely success with
poultry will be yours.-E. c. in the
