There is a movement on foot
in some parts of the state to abb
solutely prevent the killing of
quail. In many sections of the
state the farmers are banding to-

no circumstances will they allow
a quail killed on their farms.
This is a good move, and if the
farmers of this section want to
get up that sort of organization
the News is willing to give them
all the aid it can. Get up your
organization, draw up your reso-
buttons and bring them up. We
will give the matter such pub
licity that the quail killers can
have no excuse for violating
orders.

Poultry Pickings.

Eggs should be graded and the small
and ill shaped used for cooking pur-
poses. None but the brightest and best
should be placed upon the market or
used for incubation.
Pigeons are becoming more popular
and game birds are getting scarce.
Pigeons require very little attention
when preparations are made for then.
SQUAD raising is profitable when fol
lowed intelligently. Why not try a
few pigeons?
Great care Is necessary in collecting
eggs intended for incubation. The
poultryman should always know the
parents of the offspring. and for this
reason a record should be kept of both
hens and cockerel This is the only
way to breed good fowls.
Beginners at poultry keeping tend to

How to Dehorn a Calf.
The best way to dehorn a calf

The best way to dehorn a calf
is to prevent the growth of horns,
before they get a start, by the
use of little caustic potash.
The operation should be perform
ed when the calf is from one to
three weeks old, or as soon as the
button of the horn can be dis
inc, y felt when rubbing the
hand over the poll. DR.. Burton
Rogers of the veterinary depart
ment of Kansas, tells how to go
about the work.
The only articles necessary
with which to dehorn are sharp
pair of shears or clippers and a
few sticks of caustic potash and
a little water. Back the calf in
to a corner, or into any narrow
place and put its head between
your legs, holding it firmly.
Find the out growing horns
and clip the hair from the spots
about one inch in diameter.
Then take a piece of caustic,
wrapped with paper at one end
to prevent burning the fingers,
and moisten the other end slight
ly and rub on the coming horn.
Be careful to get none on the skin
of the animal except over the bud.
ding horn.
The ease with which this can
be done, its rapidity in healing,
and the minimum amount of pain
it causes the animal made it one
of the most humane and modern
methods of preventing horns. Do
not use this method while the flies
are active utless you con protect
the animal.

BOOKSHELF FOR MOTHER.

Any Boy Handy at Carpenterins Can
Do 1t and Wait For Christmas.
In almost every household there is
some one who is handy with tools,
says the American Agriculturist
To prove it's assertion it prints the
following story by James B. Duncan
and picture that shows the result of
painstaking effort.
A bookcase large enough to hold 100
books is an adOrnment to any house
hold, and the yOungster who is clever
enough to gather in some nice bits of
pine wood and then tackle the tool
box in the barn will be sure to have
something extra from mother in his
Christmas stocking.
Here are the rules 70 follow:
In the use of all e0ge tools, if you
would avoid cracks and splitting, be
patient and do not attempt to remove
wood too rapidly. although the tools
should be always kept with perfectly
sharp edges. There is much marking
out to do, and as this must be accu-

it Is best to wrap the paper around
a block, as the result is more uniform
than when the paper is supported by
the hand alone.
The three shelves. which are identi
cal in every particular, should be
smoothly finished, giving particular
attention to the ends, as these are
visible through the side strips. In or
der to fit around the four corners of
the uprights, the four corners of these
must be nctched out. These uprights.
after having been cut to length,
smoothly finished and the corners
rubbed down very lightly with sand
paper, should have the location of the
shelves marked on them and then
have the holes bored for the screws.
From half ipch wood cut out four
brackets of such a length as to fit
closely between the two uprights Of
each end Six little side strips. meas

quired, which should be fat on top
and pointed at their ends.
In assembling make hole in the
corner Of each shelf and carefully try

the screws so as to make sure that
they will not split the shelf when
driven home.
Place the brackets in position and
secure them by glue and small wire
nail at two of the corners. In attach
ing the side strips use nails with large
ornamental heads In the desired finish
To conceal the heads of the screws in
front similar nails should be driven
in as close TO the screws as possible
and directly above them. Ii preferred
wooden bulious may be set over the
head OF each screw and held by means

shelves Il small hole should be bored
in the upper ends of each of the back
uprights

Icing The Hog Car.

Recently a shipper in Missouri
on locating out a car of hogs in
vested 81 in ice, and breaking it
into several good sized chunks,
he tied them up in gunny sacks
and suspended them from the top
of the car. The drippings from
the chunks of frozen aqua proved
the best sort of preventive from
smothering and fatality in ship
ping. All the hogs landed at
market in first-c lass shape and
the shrinkage in weight from
feed yard to market was trivial.
Here is a tip for hot weather ship
ping of hogs an investment of a
dollar or two for ice may save
the shipper hundred dolla RS or
more by preventing mortality
among his hogs while enroute to
market. Harrodsburg Herald.
