TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Winter Work In the Mood Lot.

Winter Work In the Mood Lot.
It is always best to attend to this
work Of getting in the supply Of fuel
as soon as there is snow enough to gat
around comfortably in the wood lot
much better than when it gets to he
deep or drifted, says the American
Cultivator.
Those having an average size wood
lot are fortunate and should take all
reasonable care to keep it in thrifty.
flourishing condition. 1t does not re-
quire very large lot to furnish sufi-
cient fuel for family use by careful
management and still keep 1t in a
good, thrifty condition.
The trees that are commencing to
decay or that have obtained their full
growth should first be selected out and
removed. It will require more care.
and work to do this than to cut the
timber off clean, but this should be
willingly done for the benefit of the
lot.
The young growing trees should be
carefully looked after and not injured
in removing the larger trees, for the
future value of the wood lot will de-
pend largely on this. The large old
trees will make good wood after be-
ing cut into short lengths by ma
chine, after which they can be readily
split. Where properly thinned out the
new growth will come forward quite
fast, and especially If cattle are kept
out of the lot.

isa fact established by Inquiries made
recently Of Coroner stickin. who Is

others display the anxiety OF creditors

almost overwhelmed by the terrible
force Of the winds and waves, which
threatened to submerge the place. It

Care of Horses When Idle.

AS the busy season closes and the
horses are idle more of the time give
them less grain feed and only twice
each day while they are not working.
Give all of the horses the run Of some
field or pasture when they are idle.
The exercise and fresh air alone will
do them good. The horse, above all
other domestic animals, needs abun-
dance Of exercise to harden the mus
cles.

What. Is there about the henhouse

Here the hens spend about half Of

Of good material and kept in proper
shape, writes " M. Couch in the Farm
and Fireside. / hear it said that
dirt floor is best for hens because it's
the nearest to nature. But there is
lot Of difference between dirt made
more or less filthy by droppings and
litter and dirt out in the field, where it
Is clean, pure and dry. 1t is possible
to have dirt floor in just as good con-
dition for poultry as any floor, but.
keeping it so calls for a lot Of extra
work. Besides, many henhouses are
on ground where there Is dampness
working up all the time, which keeps
the litter soggy and cold.
1t Is claimed by some that a dirt
floor is much better than any other be-
cause the fowls can roll and dust them
selves on it. It does not seem to me
that mixture Of dirty dust, waste
feed, litter and filth is suitable stun
for dust bath. In fact, one reason
for keeping the floor clean is to pre-
vent the hens from busting there In
disease producing material
The floor that suits me best is one
made of wood. II you want to make
this soft like dirt floor put on a few
inches of sand or fine gravel and ON
top Of that the litter, but seldom have
sand on board floor, for don't think
1t necessary.
Cement is my next choice to wood.
1t is probably cheapest In the end be-
cause most durable, but 1t Is a con-
ductor of both cold and moisture and
inferior in this respect to wood, which
Is nonconductor of cold and damp
ness.

more stock to consume the grass and
leguminous crops that must be grown
to enrich the land and to make manure
to further enrich the land. Practice
suitable rotation Of crops such as
corn and peas, oats followed by peas,
peanuts, soy beans, or lespedeza, and
cotton. Under this system Of rotation
with the legumes, your land will need
only ground phosphate rock and pos
sible potash. BY praoticing this rota-
ton of crops the Louisiana station at

BRIGHT BOYS STAY ON FARM
Most of Intelligent Young Men Go to
Cities In Search of Honor-Farm-
er Is Independent.
(Ry @. H. ALFoRD.A

There are many reasons why SO
many OF our brightest boys leave the
farm. However, am of the opinion
that most of our intelligent boys leave
the farm to seek honor. They do not
think it Is possible for farmer to be
highly honored by his fellow men.
They Judge from the amount of honor
bestowed upon the average farmer.
They do not stop to think that the
average farmer is not well educated
and qualified to fill positions of honor
and trust. They do not seem to real
nze the fact that the uneducated men
in every calling are required to go
way back and sit down.
Hundreds Of other men leave the
farm because there Is little chance Of
becoming wealthy on the farm. l will
admit that there is little chance to &C
cumulate fortune on the farm. Very
few farmers have ever accumulated
as much as $4,000. Farming is neces-
sariIy small business. 1t cannot be
spread out over thousands of acres.
The farmer must do a thing himself,
or have his shadow fall on the man
who does it, If he wants to succeed.
The ideal farm Is small one.
A good living Is all that any man
can get out Of this world. The farmer
can get better living and live hap
pier life than other professional men.
He cannot hoard up banks of gold,
but he can have comfortable home,
plenty to eat, and good clothing to
wear. Young men and young ladies,
what more do you want?
The farmer is probably more nearly
independent than any other mc7. He
can work as he pleases. and votS IS he
pleases 1t makes no difference hat
opinion he has expressed, his land
will yield just the same.
Young men, get good agricultural
education and stay on the farm. The
day Is not far distant when men will
be taken from between the plow han
dies and placed in Il : legislative halls,
the halls of congress. and in COVER
nors' chairs. The same honors will be
conferred on farmers that is conferred
on others.

Concrete Mixture.

the sand are filled with cement is the
ideal mixture. Cement Is q powder
finer than flour
The ideal mixture is rarely obtained
as the spaces in each load OF gravel
and sand vary slightly, and In order
to be absolutely safe, little more
sand and a little more cement than
will exactly fill the spaces should be
used.
Considerable skill is required In the
mixing of concrete to obtain a sub
stance that will meet all the require
ments to which 1t is put. and its dura-
bility depends very largely upon the
right proportions of sand, stone or

By g. H. AFFORD. Farmers Co-opefa-

The breed of cattle that a man
should keep depends entirely upon the
purpose for which he is breeding them.
If he Is breeding for beef alone, he
should select one Of the characteris-
tic beef breeds. If butter is his sole
object, he should breed one of the

quantity Of milk Is hat interests him,
he should breed cattle noted for a
large flow Of milk.
It is claimed by some that the gen
eral purpose cow is running the coun-
try; but this type of cattle Is all right
on the one horse farm. The farmer
who keeps only few COWS for his own
use does not need the beef breeds or
milk breeds. He needs q COW that
gives him milk and butter, and at the
same time produces calves that may
be sold as beef.

Mans Glass Eye ExplOdes and Causes
Serious Injury.

Allentown, Pa, May 31.-Building
Inspector Frank B. MINER, of this
city, was the victim of as TRANCE &C
cident when, while seated in his office
in the City Hall his glass eye sud-
denly exploded with a sharp crack,
the report being similar to that of a
pistol shot.
MINER was dazed by the shock,
and it was at first thought that he
had been shot. A physician was sum-
moned and found the socket of the
eye badly shattered and it is feared
that particles of the eye penetrated
the brain. MINER is in a serious
condition. Physicians are unable to
account for the accident.

Lightning Kills Few.

In 1906 lightning kills only 169
people in this whole country. Ones
chances of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
chance of death from liver, kidney
or stomach trouble is vastly greater,
but not if Electric Bitters be used,
as Robert Madsen, of West Burling-
ton, Ia, proved. Four doctors gave
him up after eight months of suffer
ing from virulent liver trouble and
yellow jaundice. He was then COM
pletely cured by Electric Bitters.
They're the best stomach, liver,
