oNE BROILER WAS MISSING
Rastus Couldn't Bear to See Thlr- teen at Table, So He Re
 moved One.

Colonel Dobson was making his usual daily tour of his preserves. in specting the gardens, both flower and vegetable. and had now come to the livestock As far as the eye could See everything in the stables and the barns was in ship-shape order, and the colonel was somewhat inclined to compliment Rastus on the general condition of matters in his charge, but decided to withhold final com mendation until the chicken-coop had been inspected. And here 1t was that the only noticeable shortcoming vas to be found. A careful count of the spring broilers showed that there was one missing. The brood had matched out some time before just 13 little chicks. and they had safely reached the point where the colonel's mouth watered in anticipation of their i'm mediate service upon his table. Three careful counts demonstrated beyond all question that their number had been reduced by one. Twelve broi1ers and no more were there, and the col onel turned a cold eye upon Rastus.
 There are only 12 broilers here, Rastus." he said. with a steely cut to his voice.
 "Yassuh. Cunnell." said Rastus. Jess 12 nice fat broilers, suh Mighty fine lot o'chickens, Cunnen."
 There were 13. Rastus." said the colonel. severely.
 "Yassuh, dey certainly was dat number. suh." said the old darky
 ''WeIl?" said the colonel. incisively. "Go on."
 ''wuh-well, yuh see. Cunnell." stammered the old man. "Ah wanted to save dat air brood foh you table, suh. an when I done remember. suh. dat 13 am onlucky numbah, suh, an found dem 13 broilers a-setting down to deir tables a-eatin' togeddah. suh, An jess couldn't set dah mahself and See dem takin' no chances. so I jess done removed one ob 'em. suh."

 ''wuh-well. Cunnell. ah-ah wrung his neck. suh. and nacherily he died" said Rastus.
 And what then?" persisted the colonel.

keepIna Plants In Bloom.

Picking and using blossoms as fast as they open will induce continual blooming. When this Is done no seeds will form to sap the plants of vitality, and nature, in her effort to repro duce, will continually send out more blossoms.
 For the same reason, when any bulbous or tuberous rooted plants have finished blooming cut the tops away before seed has ripened. This will not only make the roots more vigorous for subsequent growth and blooming, but the unsightly tops will be out of the way.

PROFITABLE FEED FOR PIGS
Farmer Should Know Physical Make Up of Animal Thoroughly in Or
 der to Secure Good Pork.

To produce pork the most profit ably, to do 1t at least cost of feed, time and labor and in the shortest possible feeling period, 1t stands to reason we should know the physical makeup of the animal thoroughly in order that the breeding, the feed SC lected, the housing and caring from birth to butchering, would all tend to be the most ideal and beneficial says the Agriculturist.
 Select well-developed, large sows about year old, also a compact, wig orous, healthy smaller boar to insure strong, healthy offspring. Give them clover field to run in, comfortable place to sleep and for shelter; plenty of fresh water and you will have talk en the first important steps to obtain vigorous young pigs.
 At weaning time, when artificial feed is to be substituted for natures food, 1t is well to know that the near CT the feed harmonizes in. chemical constituents with those of the ami mal's body, the more healthful and vigorous will be the growth and de- velopment and less the liability to disease.
 The selection of the right feed for little pigs is especially important, be- cause it forms the basis on which the foundation for heavy, forced feeding during the later fattening period is built, and if this early foundation is not strong, healthy and vigorous, it will break down under heavy feeding and sickness, disease and inability to gain in weight is sure to result.
 Therefore, the feed used should be easy to digest. It should supply vigor and energy to induce rapid growing It should be succulent to create keen appetite, build tissue and rich blood. The following ration will be found to contain all the elements for success fully growing little pigs:
 Ground oats or peas.
 Merlene, a sterilized molasses.
 Green lcover.
 Milk, slop or water.
 This ration will nourish all parts of the pigs body and produce fast Ohseaseoixugfore egg m eb.. t-h44 \ growth. It will bring the pigs up to the fattening period in a most excel lent condition, when the ration can be changed to corn and merlene, with water and slop, and you will be sur prised how fast they will fatten and how big they will grow.

HOUSE FOR THE HIRED MAN
Laboring Man Prefers City Life Be- cause He Cannot Obtain Comfort
 able Quarters in Country.
By B. J. WAGGONER.)

d.
 Every farm where hired help is em- ployed by the year should have good, comfortable quarters for the help. It is time we began to reform our habit of housing our farm help. One of the reasons why laboring men prefer to find comfortable houses in the coun- try. How many dairy farmers who are complaining about the scarcity of good help provide as good house for their help as they do for their COWS? Can we blame a self-respecting labor ing man for not moving his family in to a hovel? The American farm la borer is human being and he should be shown as much respect as a prize Jersey, to say the least.
 How many neat and attractive cot tages suitable for an American labor ing man are there vacant in your neighborhood? Any good man who is worth hiring by the year is worthy of a good, comfortable house for him. self and family.
 If we keep good help we must treat them right. Men who have no homes go to the most cheerful places they can find and I am sorry to confess it is not always in a hovel behind a big red barn. The better the house and surroundings you furnish, within limits, the better class of men you will be able to hire.

Disease of Chickens.

It is important to have good un- derstandng of the causes of diseases In order that one may prevent their spread and find a cure when neces- sary. To attempt to apply remedies is useless unless the cause of the dis. ease is accurately determined
 The white diarrhea which has proved so destructive to chicks is an example of bacterial disease. Ex- perts in Washington, Yale university, Rhode Island and Connecticut State colleges, Doctor Paige said, have been Investigating its cause. They have found that it originates in the ipfec- ton of the egg from which the chick is matched. but no cure has yet been discovered.

Beware of Lazlness.

Burton, in his famous Anatomy of Melancholy" says: 'Laziness is pois- on to body and mind, the ailment of perverseness, one of the seven deadly sins; 'tis the devils pillow, his bolster, his main support. A lazy dog Is full of the mange, and how shall a lazy man not be otherwise? Laziness of mind is also much worse than laziness of body; an unused talent is misfor tune; and to the mind rust is pest, a hell"
