Feeding Draft Colts.

Feed the draft colts strong for all the growth and development possible in the early maturity to get into the big gelding market as soon as pos sible, where prices are high, but do not feed corn and oil meal to fatten the colts and young horses as you would to a fat steer. Horses want bone and muscle along with their large size. With the run of the pas ture every day for vigorous exercise, and as soon as old enough give them careful work; then you can increase the feed and get them in good show condition, and with work enough to keep them in the best condition the buyers will pay you s25 to $50 more than for the thin horse.

the bulk of the hogs in a particular locality were grade Poland Chinas we would by no means take up that breed and likewise If they were Durocs we would start up business as breeder of the red hog, and the same might be said of the Chester Whites or Berk- shires. As a rule the beginner in the pure-bred hog business has his hard est sledding the first two years and many a man becomes disgusted when he finds that he has kept over big bunch of males that he cannot dispose of, thus making it necessary for him to dispose of them later on as stags and thereby incur an actual loss.
 It must be admitted that there are exceptional cases and sometimes the best profits are realized in handling new breed. A good example of this could be found in popularity of the Hampshire hog. On account of the eyewitness of this breed, their pro life character and their general con stitutional hardness these hogs have rapidly grown in popularity and in every instance that has been called to our attention where beginner has started in with the right foundation and handled them properly he has had brisk demand for his surplus hogs that were good enough to go into the breeding pen.

HOW TO TREAT QUAcK GRASS
There Are. Several Ways of Getting Rid of Pest, but They All Re-
 qulse Work and Patience.

You have been wondering how to get rid of that patch of quack grass? :? There are several ways of doing this, but they require work and patience Quack grass lives on year after year. It produces much seed. It has long, several-jointed root stocks, by means of which 1t spreads rapidly. One way to eradicate 1t is to blow late in the fall, or early in the spring, and then use a shovel-tooth cultivator every three days until the middle of June A harrow will keep the stems cut off below the surface. Then put a culti- vated crop on the soil and cut out with a hoe any grass that grows. Where the grass is in small patches dig up the plant, taking care to get all the roots. Keep this up until the grass is all killed. Another way is to now the patch in June just as the heads of the grass appear. Then cover with a deep layer of manure or straw. After two or three months blow deep ly. the only successful way to kill all the roots.

The production of good, healthy to- bacco plants fit for transplanting in the field Is one of the most important operations of tobacco growing, says the Orange Judd Farmer. It Is the well-known policy of most tobacco growers to plant more seed and have larger beds than necessary when the weather and everything are favorable to production of good, strong. healthy plants. w. S. Belmer of Connecticut, after losing several years in success sion his crop of small plants by freez- ing, decided to make bed this spring in which he was sure to grow as many and healthy plants as he wished. The cost of this bed, he claims, is about one and one-half days. extra labor, or three dollars more than what his old beds cost him. This seed bed, as illustrated above, is Al feet wide, 52 feet long and four and one-half feet high to the caves and about nine feet high in the center. On the west and south sides are placed the glass

GUINEA HENS
 ARE PROFITABLE
baRers Always Glad to Get Their Eggs Because They Can be Used to Good Advantage
 in Cake Baking.
By WALTER B. LEUTz.

There is no doubt that if the guinea hen is properly cared for at all times that it will prove almost as profit able as any of the ordinary breeds of chickens.
 Guinea eggs are not always saluable to country merchants because many people say they are not palatable and their color is against them, but bak- CTS are always glad to get guinea eggs because it is claimed they can be used to better advantage in cake baking than any other, except duck eggs.
 If the eggs can be obtained from guinea hens that have been confined for a season or whose ancestors have been treated as domestic fowls, the birds will, in time, become almost as tame as chickens.
 When the hens are left out in the open they make their nests in brush heaps or out-of-the-way places, and when their nest is once located they rarely leave the vicinity, and it is, therefore, easy to find the nests. It is always better to place the eggs un- der a chicken hen for hatching un- less the guinea hen has been con fined.
 Unless the guinea hen is confined

plsposItIon of Sad Hoas.

A western man has observed that Chicago quotations for stag hogs are higher than Cor other classes of hogs, and asks why this is so, to which the Breeders Gazette replies: Packers rarely handle stags, at least the big concerns do not. The premium prob lem is easily solved. By long-sanc- tioned custom, stags are docked 80 pounds per head; in other words, the buyer gets 80 pounds of hog for noth- ing. This will kill the animal and dress him. The lighter a stag is, un- der present market conditions, the more he is worth. City butchers. and sausage makers are responsible for the premium. They are not under federal inspection and can buy stags in the "on-the-line" category that would be condemned by government inspectors. The new stag market is incidental to the high-level hog mar ket. The lean meat is used mainly for sausage making and the fat for lard.

MAKING PROFIT IN eUINEAs
Young Fowls Are Easily Fattened and as They Have Ganey Flavor They
 Are Much ReIlshed.
CBy WARREN s. BAKER)

Guineas do not pay as well as good poultry on the farm, except under extraordinary conditions. If they are raised for broilers and sent to the special market in the big cities at just the right time they will bring good prices.
 Guineas are not much trouble; but if they are allowed to run wild over the farm the young ones are apt to be killed by vermin. The best way to handle guineas is to confne them in as large a space as possible with a high wire fence. The ground should be covered with bushes or high grass, as guineas do not like the open.
 The hen always hides her nest and great care must be taken not to touch the eggs with the hand or she will not return to it
 The guinea hen lays from 15 to IS eggs before sitting on them and the best plan is to take the eggs out every day with a long-handled spoon and place them under a chicken hen. As soon as the guinea hen begins to sit her nest should be destroyed. She will wander about rather disconsolate for ten days or two weeks when she will disappear.
 If she is left alone she will then sit on her eggs and late in the sum- mer may turn up with a flock of 15 or a dozen chicks. These chicks are very small when first matched, about half the size of an ordinary chicken. They stick close to the mother and do not stray of. They are extremely wild, however, and at the first alarm of danger settle themselves in the deep grass and remain motionless un- til the mother calls.
 Young guineas are quite easily fat tened and as they have a decided gamey flavor they are very much rel ished when in fine condition.
 They bring best returns when sold to large hotels or to some big market that caters to the best trade. If sold in the market in the regular way they will not bring money enough to pro duce an attractive profit.

AMERICAN FACE" IN FRANCE
Light Has Finally Reached Paris and WhIskers Dlsappear-Beard Re
 garded as Superfiuous.

Paris.-Since M. Miguel Zamacois, who has hitherto set the style in Paris hair, boards and mustaches, has said that the smooth face has come to stay, few will dispute him. In other words. after American cocktails, crackers and shoes, Parisians are now threatened with "the American face" M. Zamacois not only announces the advent of 'tthe American face" but he expatiates on it's beauty and utility 'eThe American face" gives freer play to the emotions than one adorned with beard and mustache; 1t is econ omical from the point of view of time and money, for boards must be trim med, combed and dressed, and these things cost. In verbal discussion the beard is superfuous; the mustache is a filter which retards the issue of the decisive word.
 Heretofore there has been an indt- vidual cut of whiskers and mustache for the professions. Clerks, captains and lawyers wore slight mustaches; magistrates, admirals and walters wore side whiskers, and only the aCJOI .auQ pI4CSI cAofO0 A~~~NSs But this fine spirit of national. inde- pendence was fated to disappear e'Snobisme," the spirit of imitation. the necessity of applauding and adopt ing everything new and exotic, all these sentiments which create the fashion, ended by inducing French men to smear their faces over with soap and appear with chins and cheeks which looked as if they had been rubbed with emery paper. Yes terday they were only one of two. who passed for "des eccentriques;" today their number is legion. The American face" has triumphed. 1t has been declared "chic" by the high priests of the mode" The contagion is spreading every day with, incred- ible rapidity, and Paris is threatened with a veritable epidemic. Whether the new fashion has come to stay is doubtful. The French are an artistic people, and it must be conceded that a plain and commonplace face can frequently be rendered almost good looking by a beard or mustache.

ROSES IN UPPER PENINSULA
Nineteen States Get Their Supply of Flowers From Northern MIchI-
 qan-PopuIar Varieties.
Ry JosEPH D. sALKELD.)


 That the upper peninsula of Michi gan should supply rose plants for 19 states of the union may seem strange to those who have been wont to con slider this section of the country as having a climate too cold for the most beautiful of flowers. The rose natur- ally compels ones thoughts to turn to California or the south, and this part of the country has not been con sidered among florists and lovers of flowers in connection with rose pro duction until recently. The florists have found, however, that rose plants from even semi-tropicaL climates do not possess sufficient hardihood to thrive in the gardens of New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Min nesota. It Is due to this fact that the Michigan rose has become so popular. It has been found that the Maryland and white Killarney varieties pro duced in the copper country will grow in most any soil and in any climate. Consequently the demand for these plants is increasing so rapidly that new companies are to be formed to fill the orders.

SHED FOR THE FARM TOOLS
Implements Should Be Cleaned and Placed Under Cover When Not in
 Use-Use Paint Freely.
By THOMAS M. cIsEL.)

Every. farmer should have a shed for his tools and the tocls should be cleaned and placed in the shed as soon as one is through using them. Often this saves time and delay when the tool Is wanted later on.
 The paint brush should be used freely on the woodwork and other parts that become worn or scraped by use. This costs but little and adds years to the life of the tools. In fact it is best to give all machinery new coat of paint every two years.
 know a farmer who follows this method of caring for his farm machin- cry. He is now using a binder he has owned for ten years and it Is still doing good work and the repair bill for ten years has been only $6.
 In the winter he goes over all his tools and repairs, repaints and gets them in shape for next summer. The cost of his shed was $50 and his time while building it.
 The tool house need not be costly building-a good roof with cheap sid ing will do and any man should be able to put it up at odd times.
 Some farmers use shade trees for roofing their tools. The shade Is but little protection, as the more moisture the more rust and the shade will hold the moisture for days.
 The cost of one new binder will pay for good building large enough to store the full equipment of a fair sized farm.
 In this shed may be placed the forge and workbench where small repairs to machinery and many a new and useful thing may be made during the winter months. Put in plenty of win dows on the sides and ends, particu- larly on the workshop side.

Loss of Cows MIX.

A COW that loses her milk between milkings is hard to cure. Sometimes it can be checked or stopped by using one or more rubber bands around the teats. Milking a COW three times a day will avoid some of the loss. Some cows seem incurable, and about all that can be done with them is to keep them to feed calves with. The ire ouent removal of the milk by the calves will prevent enough milk ac- cumulating to leak out

 Well, now that everybody's right hand Is raised. go back to your seats and listen:
 Two young women dressed in black velvet stepped from a drug store in Broadway, between Fortieth and Forty first streets, the other afternoon car rying black canes with. crooked han dles. in a most mannish manner It was really thrilling to see them thump the sidewalk with the tips every few feet.
 Men laughed when they beheld the young women; then, getting interest ed. the men followed. The pursuers had become a horde before the women at Thirty-fourth street slipped away into. department store

TO WEAR SENSIBLE CLOTHES
Ban on UItra-FashIonabIe RaIment Is Urged by Superintendent of
 Los Angeles Schools.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Legislation pro viding that students of the California public schools wear simple uniforms instead of the odd and ultra-fashion- able raiment of the present day is advocated by County Superintendent of Schools Mark Keppel, unless the present tendency of the younger gen. eration to what he calls extravagance in dress is checked.
 Reform in dress and death to the hobble skirt, the tube gown, paint and powder, the transparent and cloud like material in dresses and waists and to the "baby doll" curls and puffs are advocated by Superintendent Rep pei in the schools of California
 MT. Keppel desires to give the girl students of the common and high schools a hair cut so that the fluffy chantecler puffs, the babylike Nell Brinkley curls, the stately coronation braids, and the transformation, the moderate pompadour and even the cute little Cupid bangs, shall fall vic tims to the shears of dress reform.
 Here is MT. KeppePs ideal school girls costume and manner of attire:
 A turban-shaped hat, simply but artistically trimmed; hair braided down the back or combed and braided on the head; a complexion acquired by vigorous use of soap, water and towel; a sweater or waist fitting the figure neatly, but not tightly, with loose, flowing sleeves; a skirt of ma terial sufficient to resist the cold, or even a one-piece gown fitting the fig ure neatly, but under no condition tightly; no corsets; stockings of me dium weight, but sufficiently heavy to protect the limbs against cold or damp weather; shoes with heavy soles and with heels three-quarters of an inch in height and with the heels set back far enough so that the heel of the shoe comes directly under the heel of the foot.

For Early Onions.

Much earlier and finer onions can be grown if sown in large boxes or a hot bed, and this kept moist and loose on top till the strong young on- ions are transplanted to the garden. So many early onions are delayed, if not absolutely discouraged and ruined by the surface of the ground becom- ing crusted or hard from showers, when they are two inches or so high and weakly All this is avoided by sowing thinly in large boxes or hot beds and resetting. This might not do for large amount of onions. but for the family, or early ones. it surely pays.

ROSARY PROVES CRIME
FOR THE SECOND TIME IT CON-
 VIcTs BURLY NEGRO.
Girl Thought to Have Died Accident ally, but Silent Beads Turn Up to Send Murderer to
 His Death.

Philadelphia-A small pearl rosary figured as link in the chain of cir cumstantial evidence that for the sec ond time in six months resulted in the conviction of Jeremiah Lee Green, a negro, of murder in the first degree.
 Twice now have juries said that Green attacked and strangled Catha- rine Clohesy, a young white girl, of Germantown. Her body, the marks of powerful fingers showing on the throat, was found behind a stone wall on an estate in Mannheim, a suburb street.
 The police at first believed that the girl had died as the result of an asth- matic fit. They explained the marks on her throat, her torn clothes and her position on the inside of four foot wall all by declaring that, in her struggle to get breath, she clutched at her throat. But a coroner's jury was convinced that the girl had been murdered and then the authorities got to work.
 In sworn statement to the police, Annie Hall, a negro woman, said that Green called on her in Germantown, a few squares from the spot where Miss Clohesy's body was found, on the night of the murder He did not have any money, she said, and asked her for enough to get to his boarding place. She said she did not comply with his request, then he left.
 A few days later he visited her again, she said, and told her that he had found a pocketbook in Mannheim street, after leaving her on the night in question. Her suspicious were aroused and she communicated with the police.
 They found in Greens possession a rosary that, 1t was proved, had be- longed to Miss Clohesy. They also recovered the pocketbook from a ne- gro woman to whom Green had given it. The negro's excuse was that he found the articles on the pavement.
 At the first trial the Hall woman repudiated on the witness stand the sworn statement she made to the po- lice. Her contradictions and eva sions weakened more than strength ened the prisoners case.

Many communications are received iy this paper during the year asking for information on the best breeds of i've stock. Sometimes these inquiries relate to draft horses, at other times to beef cattle, frequently concerning the breeds of dairy cattle and the last one received asks for information con- cerning the best breed of hogs
 We have repeatedly stated in these columns that it is strictly impossible to give advice on the question of breeds as applied to any class of live stock, says the Homestead. So much depends upon the tastes of the indi- vidual, upon the environment and upon the requirements of neighboring farmers that it would be time wasted to mention specifically one breed and .hen undertake to prove that it was better than any or all others.
 We take it for granted that in this case it is the intention of the sub scriber to handle pure-bred hogs and we presume he is a beginner in the business and under these circum. stances something may be said on the .opic that will throw little light on the subject for those just starting The average man will do little bet ter right from the start if he takes dp the breed that Is popular in his community. The reason for this is that he will have less difficulty in dis posing of his surplus males early in he season than if he starts in with a breed with which his neighbors are unfamiliar We mean by this that if
