certain insects which cause a great
deal of harm to growing crops

multiply fast and sell for very
high prices. Among the pests de-,

potato bugs, cucumber beetles, mi

cut worms, and also the cut worm

pheasant, and the pheasant will
not attack the grain or ear Of the
corn until late in the season when
insect food is scarce.

Our Poultry Yard.

One reason why hens lay so
well at this season of the year is
that they get a greater variety
of feed now than in winter. If
they were fed on green stuff and
had the same amount of animal
matter in winter as they have nov
in bugs and worms, then winter
laying would be very much the
same as now.
As the small chickens grow up
it is a good plan to Gull out the
weaklings and the dwarfs, and
keep only those that normal in
size and vigOr. A great many of
the understood and poor class Of
chickens are kept at a loss. at
is surprising" says a poultry bull.
letin, chow large a proportion Of
the average flock Is useless; or
worse than useless; for these non
producers are in the way of the
workers and are preventing them
from doing their best. If you cal
mot make up such a breeding pen
this spring, try this for next sea
son. Next fall mark or band the
first 80 pullets to begin laying
also the yearling hens that are do
ling well this season.
Prevention beats a cure for dis

es and about the rOosts will kill
mites and lice, and at the same
time purify the atmosphere of the
rOOsting house. And one of the
cheapest and very best disinfect-
ants for the chicken house is the
liberal use of air slaked lime scat

the perches on the ground. The
lime can be sprinkled on the perc

suits. 1t is a good preventive OF
disease.
At Browning, Mo-, during the
month of May, the egg receipts

ECHOES FROM A
KANSAS FARM.
By Henry Hatch.

After two months of drOuth
came two days of almost uninter-
rupted rain. The man who believ
eS in extremes is thus satisfied.
Yesterday we talked with man
who will have nothing but a disc
cultivatOr from start to finish.
81 do not want a shovel in my
cOrnfield," he said. Our exper-
fence has been that the alternate
use of discs and shOvels is better.
Soil is so loose it is lucky the
rains do not come with more fury
than they do. There has been
no Outlying all winter, and now

worse IMAM others especially where
one field is earlier than the rest
around it. Their damage CON-
menees as soon as the head bloom
and lasts until the crop Is thresh-
ed or put out of their reach.
Saving the first cutting Of alf-
alta is usually one of the diff
cultieS of the season. Starting
the mower usually starts thunder
to roll, and rain falls in torrents
cut Of almost clear sky. Wait
ing on fair weather is to lose on
the second cutting, so the best
plan is to get a bundle of canvas
bunch covers and go ahead with
the haying. 1t will not entirely
spoil under a canvas cover.
A good thing to get along with
out, when buying it means going
ID debt, is an automobile. They
say in the cities that a great
many mortgage their homes to
Euy autos. This looks like a piect
o. fOOlishneSs to a practical farm
er, but perhaps it isn't. The city
man and his family need the open
air, and this he cannot get by
sticking at home.
They say we, as a class, spend
100 little for worldly pleasure on
the farm. In a great many in
stances it is so. Farmers have
been known to go through a long
life of pinching and economy and
Ii the end a few hundred dollars
were added to the estate by it.
We pity an old couple who deny
themselves some of the common
good things of living they can
well afford.
Small graders have been tried
so much all around us that we

put up are a delusiOn and a snare

over the tough places like a ship

Of the grade is left decidedly in
waves.-Farmer and StOckman.

All old clover fields are spot
ted, but a new crop is coming in
thicker than the old. This young
crop will not amount to much IN

plenty of rain, it will make q

letter received by President Charles
w. Murphy yesterday Moreover Chance
is planning to stop off at Kansas City
on his way east. The reason for thist
is not hard to surmise. Johnny King
being the host
Ihere is no doubt in the minds of
those on the inside that King will re-
turn He will be with the Cubs this
spring and reports from Kansas City
last night further strengthen the i'm

In statement made at Kansas CITY
last night Killing said: II don't want
TO lose anything. 1 would rather give
up baseball than to lose a good paving
business, but I believe shall be able
to make the necessary ARRANGEMENTS.
After Kings application to the com
mission for reinstatement, which Killing
evidently considers only a formality. it
will probably take only short time
before he attaches his name to Cub
contract. This may even come before
chance sees him at Kansas City. But in
any event Chance wants to get a good
AOch OF HIS great DdCkSLOp.
Chance and Murphy will strafghten
up some matters pertaining to the
training trip which are merely routine
work, and some trades may be consum-
mated Murphy repeatedly has said
that he never goes through with a deal
until he gets Chances opinion With
the Cub manager on the spot, things
are likelyssto brisk up a bit.
Charles Comiskey yesterday made the
formal announcement that the White

public on July 1. At that time base
ball celebrities from the country will
be present, and the ceremonies will be

magnates have signified their intention
of being present, Barney Dreyfuss of
Pittsburg saying he would be there If
it cost him the pennant.
