TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Shelter For Sheen.

Warm barns for fattening sheep are
not desirable, according to the results
Of Investigations carried on at the
Missouri experiment station. Sheep
are naturally well protected, and the
effect of dry cold Is rather a tonic
than otherwise. 1t certainly is not
true that fattening sheep require
more feed per pound gain in cold
weather than in warm weather.
Dean Munford of the College of Ag-
riculture states that it seems undoubt-
edly true that sheep do not suffer from
dry cold weather. and IL they can be
kept dry they can endure any amount
of cold without discomfort. In humid
districts, therefore, where rain and
snow fan frequently during the win
ter, it viii be profitable to supply them
with dry shelter, though ii need not
be warm

WILL TOUR SOUTHERN STATES

Change In Program Announced Sud-

Dates--Will Return to White House
IN Time to Prepare Message to
Congress - Attendance at Dediea-
zion of Lincoln Farm Planned.
Ogden, Utah, Oct. 10. - President
Taft before he returns to Washing
ton, will have made a new mileage
record. To the 10000 miles of the
original schedule the president
has added some eighteen days
OF travel. The addition to the
itinerary includes day in West Vir-
ginia, four days at Hot Springs, Va,
for a rest, two or three days at his
home In Cincinnati and tour
through Kentucky and Tennessee,
with probably a stop In Virginia on
the way to Washington. This will
delay the presidents return TO Wash
ington nearly three weeks, bringing
him to the White House about Nov.
40. little more than two weeks be-
fore the opening of the regular ses-
sion of congress.
In that time he will have 10 pre-
pare his usual message on depart
mental and other government affairs
Tor congress, draw his plans for tar
IN revision on the report of the tariff
board on schedule X, which Is to be
ready for congress upon its conven.
tng. and put his house In order gen.
orally for the arduous work of the
coming session.
Why Trip Was Abandoned.
The tour of Kentucky and Tennes-
sec was contemplated when the itin-
erary for the present trip was under
consideration. The lateness OF the
adjournment OF congress last sum-
mer, however, forced the president to
shorten his trip; also he was advised
by Henry Watterson OF Kentucky to
postpone his visit to Kentucky until
after the elections had been held
there. lest his visit might be consid-
eTeu py IIe lJenOCTHlb 10 mean an
Interference in state politics. Con-
sequently the visits to those states
were abandoned and the present trip
was arranged to end on Nov. In or
der to allow Mr. Taft time for
short rest and for the preparation OF
his message and other work before
the opening Of congress.
The change in the plans was an
nounced suddenly. Details for the
"trip through Kentucky and Tennes-
nee have not yet been arranged, but
Secretary Hilles is in touch with the
persons in charge of the presidents
visit to the various towns. The day
In West Virginia will be spent in
Morgantown to attend some college
funotion. In Cincinnati the president
will vote on Nov. z and will make
one OF two addresses to organizations
In his home city. No arrangements
have been announced for the rest of
the trip beyond visit to Hodgen-
Vile for the dedication Of the Lin
coin memorial farm.

For the HOG Raiser.

If pigs farrowed early in March do
not reach 275 pounds by the first week
In November there is something wrong
about the feeding.
The Oregon experiment station shows
that one acre of good clover for grow
ing hogs represents value of $44.
Too much corn for the brood SOW
means small htters.
Too many farmers kill their good
brood sows because of the temptation
to sell for the high prices. This is n
mistake
While there is considerable invest
ment in the brood sows, still it pays
better to keep the good ones because
they will produce more uniform pigs,
more of them and will raise them bet
ter

A DUST BATH FOR
HENS IN WINTER.
Dry Earth and Sand Form an
Excellent Mixture.

Before the ground freezes we take a
good sized box and I'LL 1t with river
sand for the chickens, writes CORE
spondent of the Breeders Gazette.
This should be absolutely dry, so it
will not freeze during the winter, and
should contain as many clear grit par
ticles as possible. While the dust is
plentiful along the roadway we secure
another box of still larger dimensions
than the first one and fill it with this
dust, storing both boxes away whore
their contents WIN not get damp and
freeze later on and where they will
not be wasted until needed.
When winter sets in and the hens
outdoor bath In the dust Is no more
we take several gallons of sand and
dirt from these boxes, mix a small
quantity of wood ashes with them and
place them in Dux made expressly
for that purpose in one corner of the
scratching she'd Here the hens can
scratch and wallow around to their
hearts content, enjoying as good a
dust bath In the dead of winter as
they did In summer. Whenever we
notice that the lice are bothering the
flock some reliable insect powder Is
bought and sifted around in the dust
box. The hens thus dust themselves
with It and keep the flock free from
these pests at time when dipping
would be out of the question under or
dlnary circumstances on the average
farm. A new supply of the dust, sand
and ashes is supplied as needed, and
the box is kept clean at all times.

Land Fertility.

Profits to be derived from farm
may not be calculated by the number
of acres It contains. The quality of the
land is more important than the acres
It covers, Don't be dissatisfied with a
poor farm simply because it is poor
one. Scarcely any farm Is so good as
not to be capable Of Improvement.
Ideal farms are scarce, and hopping
about from one to another offers no
opportunity of bringing farm up to a
high standard OF perfection. The man
who impoverishes farm by constant
cropping without generous tilling In
jures his own pocket Farms are like
banl;s--the more you put into them the
larger the return of interest-Ameri-

About Egg Production.

Poultry experts claim that the or
dinary hen averages only eighty eggs
per year, whereas she ought to lay
at least 150 That is, she ought to lay
twice as many eggs as she does now.
The aim Of the fancy poultry man has
always been to increase egg produc-
tion, and he is succeeding to great
extent, for the 200 egg Il year hen is
now no longer rarity.

Street suits combining two materials,
one of soft, shimmering texture and
the other of rather rough texture, are
a feature of the new styles. This de-
lightfu walking suit Is of black ratine,
with foundation skirt of black satin,
which material makes the collar and
cuffs on the coat.
The buttons are small affairs of cut
steel, which Nine. Paquin, the designer
of this model, is very fond of using
this fall.
