For Farmers.

Where blight affects trees it is
recommended that the blighted
limbs and fruit be removed and
burned.
When you are ahead of your
work it isn't such a hard matter
to keep there; then there is time
for other things.
1t is said to be a good thing
when ants are found OH plants, to
look for plant lice and spray with
kerosenesemulsion.
1t has been recommended that
the traffic in horned toads be
stopped, the reason being their
usefulness in destroying insects.
The man who produces moth
ing but the best is going to come
much nearer getting his price
than he W no produces poorer
stuff.
Stufing, poultrymen assert
never did make hens lay, as it
makes them lazy, and lazy birds
never were noted for their laying
qualities.
Sunshine and air are essential
to health in chickens as well as
to any other live stock on the
farm. See that the place where
they are kept has windows to
let the sunshine in and venti-
lators to bring in fresh air.
1t is claimed that not one pro-
Queer in a hundred tests his eggs;
just takes chances and ships,
guaranteeing them to be fresh
eggs, not knowing how many old
nest eggs he has put in, or how
many have large blood clots and
are worthless.
Provide a litter in which seed
may be scattered so that the
hens will come from the roosts
early in the morning and scratch
for their breakfast. Before 60
ing to roost at night they may be
fed a good ration and they will
digest all their crops can hold
before morning.
The sow's value depends so
largely on her ability to furnish
plenty of good milk that we can
not afford to give her corn alone.
She cannot give as much milk or
as good milk on corn alone as she
can on half the corn and an adj
ded portion of middlings, oats or
other grain, with grass or clover
or other vegetables.
! A woman poultry raiser writes
that her method of preserving
eggs is packing them in dry salt.
Have the top layer of eggs at
least three inches below the sur
face of the salt. Pack in a large
jar with the points Of the eggs
downward. Cover the top of the
salt over with parafine. She says
the eggs will keep for several
/ months.
