Farm Notes.

To secure good matches one must
do more than select the nice smooth
eggs that are gathered; then hens
that lay the eggs must be in prime
condition; not too fat, yet not run
down in flesh or vitality.
If there are some sluggish hens in
the flock, some with combs not up to
color and that seem OF a melancholy
disposition, either sell them at once.
or pen them from the nests.
Such hens are not liable to be good
layers, but occasionally they lay, but
one doesn't wish to set eggs from
such hens.
A sluggish rooster Is not to be toll
Grated at all. The more lively and
stirring the breeding flock is the bet

in the world won't help the eggs that
are poor in vitality. 1t may possibly
secure the hatch but OF what worth

Flowers on the Farm.

The farmers family Is, as rule,
composed of busy people, who have so
many necessary duties that however
much they love flowers. find 1t hard
TO cultivate them to any extent. Still
this plan has been tried, and proved
very satisfactory TO a lady | know.
She had one flower bed near her
porch, three feet by ten feet, with
low wire trellis next the porch for
nasturtlums to grow on. In the mid
die was a row of geraniums in front.
By the kitchen windows she planted
q row of seeds of tall castor bean
plants, and in the vegetable garden
next to the front fence, she had a
bed about four feet wide the length

The first word Jesus spoke to Mary
after she had recognized him on that

disciples and told them that she had

his message. Is not that the office
of a missionary?
On the evening of that first Easter
Jesus came into the room where his
disciples were. His first word was.
a word of peace his second was a
word of sending: "As my Father

an incidental remark. Jesus has

save to himself the profits on his pro-

The illustration shows a plan of a
granary for corn, wheat, oats and
other grain built along practical lines,
and wherever built it has proved
entirely satisfactory. The main fea-
ture of this house is the lower floor.
The outer walls are boarded or sided
up tight, contrary to the usual man
ner of building corncrib. The
house sits about three feet above the
ground on oak or cement posts, as
the builder may desire. Phe floor of
the crib is built of one by four inch
or six inch Stats placed one and a
half inches apart The interior wall
Is built in the same way. This allows
free circulation of air at all times,
but keeps out all rain and snow.
This, with the elevated floor, makes
it entirely rat and weather proof.
The driveway walls are boarded solid
from the floor down to the ground.
This allows the hogs and poultry to
pick up my corn that may fall
through. 1t is said that corn held in
such a crib not only brings a better
price, but that it does not lose in
weight the same as corn held in the
usual manner.
The crib is twenty-eight by forty
feet on the ground and twelve feet to
the caves. The upper floor will hold
several hundred bushels of small

Southern Cranberry Limit.

TNrkeys can be grown anywhere;
nut cranberries, their necessary ac-
compartment, are only Northern pro-
duced. Nevertheless there are vast
bog areas In the middle and southern
portions of the country, which if cram
berries could be acclimated to them,
could be well utilized for this crop.
With this idea in view the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has prepared a
small cranberry bog on its expert
ment farm. This is perhaps the
southernmost plantation of cranber-
riesT in the United tSates outside of
the Allegheny Mountain region. The
success or failure of the enterprise
will have an important bearing on

Norman G.. Gordon, OF Chicago, Is
deeply interested in forestry and in
an interview stated that while very
recently the study of forestry was
confined to the care of large areas,
there has now come a demand for
the study of smaller tracts OF wood
land.
Every farmer" he said, has his
wood lot, from which he draws a sup
ply OF fuel that may or may not be
enough for his household needs with
out coal. Any sale OF the more val
liable sorts of wood that he may make
is incidental, the result Of chance
seeding OF maple, white oak, elm or
hickory. Now, a white oak or a
hickory Is no harder to raise than a
red oak or a chestnut. The farmer
who looks ahead is asking for infor-
nation that will tell him how best
TO develop the neglected wood lot,
which, in the next generation, if not
in lis own time, will prove a source
OF revenue not to be despised.
