To Teach Poultry Farming.

A course in poultry farming
will be given by the College of
Agriculture of the University of
Missouri the coming winter. 1t
will be given in connection with
the Missouri State poultry board.
F. B. Mumford, dean, of the Col
lege of Agriculture, said that al
though the course had not been
definitely mapped out, one Of the
best poultry experts in the coun-
try would be employed to con-
duct it.

Do Your Duty.

Every church member ought
to give special personal service
in protracted meeting, especi-
ally during the day, in inviting
persons to attend. The success
of a meeting depends largely up
on the universally of interest,
enthusiasm and cooperation.
The efforts should be unanimous.

Hogs ranging upward from
200 pounds in weight ate dry
corn meal readily. They made
more rapid gains on it and a
little more pork from each bushel
Of corn than on dry ear corn,
but after paying 3 cents per
bushel for Smelling and grinding,
the gains were more expensive
with dry corn meal than with
dry ear corn except for the old
est hogs with corn above accents
per bushel in price.

Good Roads For The Poor Man.

It has always seemed strange
to us that the poor man should
object to increased taxation for
better roads. Good roads are
the best friends that the poor
man can have, and the cost of
their constructor is comparative
ly nothing to him, as it is the
rich man and large tax payer who
has to bear the real cost of road
improvement, and if such are will
ling to contribute of their sub
stance the dollars then poor men
should willingly join hands by
contributing their cents. Good
roads enable the poor man in
country districts to indulge.in di-
versified farming as over them
with light transportation he can
carry small quantities of his pro-
ducts in short time and at a
very little expense to near by
markets or shipping points.
Good roads bring good class of
settlers into any neighborhood,
creating home market for the
S m al surplus of the poor
man Or small farmer. Good
roads cut down fully one
half the ware and tear on wagons
harness and teams and ables the
the poor man to do as much haul
ing with two horses as is usually
done with four. Good roads en-
able the boy to become teamster,
as there are no mud holes
for the wheels to be lifted
out of or balky horses to con-
quer. Good roads are conducive
to health. causing a saving in
Doctors bills. Good roads as
sistgreatly in the education of our
children, as over them the scholars
can be regular in attendance
at school with out the danger re-
sulting from wet feet as now is
the case in travelling over the I'M
drained dirt roads, as many Of
them have to do to get the school
honses. All things considered
good roads are many times Of
more advantage to the poor than
they are to the rich. To the for
mer they have now become a
necessity, while they are only in
a sense a luxury to the latter.

For Farmers.

AA@OS~Ns
A flock might just as we'll roost
in trees as in house full of
cracks and holes, which chills
the birds in spots and produces
colds.
A hen too fat gets lazy; she
takes no interest in life. One
too poor cares nothing about her
egg record. The happy medium
is happy hen.
Some people are willing to pay
an extra price for eggs of one
color. Many people get a cent
or more dozen for sorting their
hen fruit according to size and
color.
Get that mouse out of your
granery. If you don't there will
soon be a lot more Of them. Thou
sands of farm ships have been
sunk by just such little leaks as
a mouse can dig with his teeth.
Don't let any weeds go to seed
in the garden, for you are MAX
ing yourself unnecessary work
another year by allowing the
pests to multiply. Clean up the
beds and walks and burn all the
trash that might harbor insects. =
One packer is authority for the
statement that the cost of pick
ing apples varies from seven
cents per barrel where the trees
are low, to twenty cents per bar
rel where the trees are large and
limbs high.
should rather have one hap
py hen than two grumpy ones.
A happy hen is one that fattens
the pocketbook; hen with a
crouch isn't worth her space, no
matter what her breed may be.
1t is worth the poultry raiser's
while to remember that an earth
floor is unhealthful when the To-
cation is naturally wet and not
we'll drained. With this kink of
location it will pay to put in a
board floor.
Hens will not lay during the
cold months unless given food
rich in egg material. | feed
wheat and skim-milk, which are
splendid egg producing foods:
and also include parched corn and
Kafr-corn in the bill of fare.
We can afford to buy a hand
force pump just for washing car
riages and wagons. Pressing
even the softest cloth on them
will scratch the paint. By wash
ing them thoroughly with the
pump first, we may follow with
the cloth with good results.
Now that the days are shorter
you will be doing chores some
times after dark. Make it a rule
never to set the lantern down on
the floor. Hang it up where it
will not be knocked over. 1t is
an awful thing to have the barn
burn up. By the way, a harness
snap suspended from the ceiling
by a bit of old pump-chain is a
good thing to hang the lantern
on. Have it just above the reach
Of your head.
Hen feathers answer well for
pillows, cushions, or even for
beds, if the sharp quill ends are
removed. The easiest way to do
this, after the chicken is killed,

Where rabbits and field mice
abound, the young fruit trees
should, be protected before snow
comes. When the ground iscov-
cred with snow is the time the
rodents are driven by hunger to
attack the bark Of young trees.
An excellent way Of protecting
tender tree trunks against the
teeth of mice and rabbits, is to
wrap laths, building paper or
strips of wood veneer around the
base of each tree, reaching two
or three feet up from the ground.

Two things are essential to the
thrift of animals, variety in their
food and regularity in its receipt.
One article Of food cannot sup
ply all the necessary sustenance,
because it may lack some of the
essential elements and it is al
most sure to have some INSULT
cient quantities. Animals do not
thrive as we'll when fed irregu-
larly as when they get their food
at certain seasons. The more
regularly the food is supplied,
the better the results.

In Nebraska many farmers fat
ten their hogs entirely on alfalfa
although corn is the staple crop
Of that State. Fed with corn,
alfalfa produces larger gains
than any other feed. Alfalfa
and corn should be fed in equal
portions, and this ration beats
corn alone. Alfalfa is an excel
lent maintenance ration and will
produce excellent pork. Fed in
connection with corn it is unex-
celled.
