Usino Citv Manure.

Does it pay to use manure at the
rate of forty-fve or fifty tons per acre?
This depends largely on the cost of
manure In many instances the cost Of
hauling far exceeds the first cost of
the manure Some of the manure used
near the large cities is had for the
hauling. while it is the exception, rath-
er than the rule. that it costs more
than so cents Il ton. At this price or
less a grower can well afford to make
rather long hauls and to use the ma
nure freely, especially for such crops
as lettuce. celery. onions and other
crops grown by intensive methods

WASH YOUR FURNITURE.
How castoff Pieces May Be Restored

How Castoff Pieces May Be Restored
to Original Brightness.
"Very few people know that furlh-
ture ought to be washed" said sales
man in the furniture section of a large
department store in Indianapolis
yes" he continued 1T is the Oest
thing one can do to keep furniture
looking as well us it should. One
should take a bucket of tepid rainWa-
ter and make suds with II good pure
soap. Then, with q soft piece oL
cheesecloth, all the woodwork should
be washed. 1t is astonishing how
much dirt will come off. A second
piece Of cheeseclOth should be wrunS
dry out of hot water. On this should
be poured tablespoonful Of first class
furniture polish. The heat will spread
the polish through the cloth. Next
the furniture should be gone over with
the second cloth There will be no
need Of putting on more polish, for
that much will do all one needs. Too
many persons make the mistake of
using too much polish and leaving it
thick ON the furniture, where 1t looks
dauby and where it gathers more dirt"
There is furniture in homes today
that is cast off because of its appear
ance when it might be brought back
to its original freshness by this sim,
pie process of washing. Many per-
sons do not know that a fine bit of ma
hogany is improved by careful wash
ing, and hundreds Of pianos have
never been more than busted in years
A square of cheesecloth for the wash
ing and another for the polishing will
do the work, and the result will wei
repay the effort.

The Poultry Yard.

Coed, clean runs are a delight
to the hens.
Sometimes litter gets so filthy
that it is worse than none.
Turkey eggs set this month
should give good salable carcas-
ses for Christmas feasts.
Leave it to the old hen to pick
out the best nest to lay in. She
can do it better than you can.
Two sprinklings a week with
kerosene oil should keep the
house free from insect pests.
But be thorough.
Get the screens over the win
dows now, 50 that intruders will
not disturb your favorites while
they are asleep at night.
Are you troubled with crows a.
bout your chicken yards? Cover
the pens with wire netting. That
will fool the thieves.
Over feeding must be avoided,
as must also underfeeding. Eth
er extreme will stunt the growth
of the young stock.
Can't expect to succeed with
broody hens, incubators and lit
tie chicks, these days, unless we
stay close at home to meet all e.
mergencies.
Feed very little soft feed and
you will raise more chicks. Ii
you must feed soft stuff don't |
throw it upon the ground. Feed
it in a small trough or on aclean
board.
In heavy-soil localities, gapes
are apt to attack young chicks,
especially when quartered on
damp, heavy ground. In light,
sandy soils this disease is prac-
tically unknown.
Look suspiciously at eggs that
have been laid in a stolen nest.
They may be all right, but test
them carefully, lest you lead some
one who buys them to say things
that will make your ears burn.
