'No, no. It's merely because can't

"Your own word. without that Of

"Of course know you're right.

About July 1, depending upon the
age of the chicks. remove them to the
range. Keep feed and water before
them all the time. Keep their roosts
free from mites, and clean the coop
twice a week. The feed can consist
of corn and wheat with a dry mash
composed of equal parts bran, mid
ding and corn meal. This can be fed
in hoppers and kept before them all
the time. One can make use of the
wheat or barley fields during the sum-
mer, after the grain is cut, to a good
advantage. Care should then be taken
to see that shade is supplied and that
the chicks have place in which tn
hide from hawks.
BY getting the chickens out away
from the farm buildings they can be
raised cheaper and better. They will
be more vigorous and healthier, and
one is surprised at the ease with which
farm poultry can be raised under
these conditions.
The orchard, corn field or portions
of the garden can ISIS be utilized to a
good advantage. ard a crop of chick.

as another cron with mutual benefit
to both, and, while two blades are not
growing where one used to grow, two
crops are, which is equally beneficial
to the person who employs this prac.
tice.

Summer Care Of the

farm. There is always lot OF
waste material that a hen can
make use of, and 1t is by the utilizing
of this to the best advantage that one
can make the most out of his work
and In the raising of chickens this end
should be kept in view.
One of the problems that confront
the farmer Is the raising of young
stock during the summer. 1t is really
the easiest of his problems if he takes
advantage OF his opportunities. The
trouble is that the chickens are gen.
orally kept up around the farm build.

Get the Glover Habit.

There are still some farms In
Michigan on which clovers are
not grown as regular part of
the crop rotation. On some
farms the meadows run from
timothy to blue grass, forming
a tough sod with small produc.
tive capacity. The soil becomes
hard and lacks the mellowing eff.
feet of clover roots. Nitrogen
. is the most. expensive part of
fertilizers. and this is added to
the soil by the bacteria which
live on the clover roots.

Watch For Sore Shoulders.

It is now that a little care
will avoid much trouble later
with sore shoulders. Cold water
will tougher the horses skin
and remove all the salt and
sweat from the hair on the
shoulders. Adjust the collar
and names often, as the horses
will fail in flesh with the spring
work and leave them loose. Let
the horses feel the refreshing
rest of being free from the har-
ness while eating. Work reg.
ular hours on a set amount each
day, and the spring work will be
accomplished with less hardship
to both men and horses. Per-
haps later we will co our p'ough-
ing by steam or gasoline trac-
tors and then we will not need
to be so careful during the siren
uous season.

Sweet Pea Not ROYAL Choice.


In vain did gardeners and horticuI-
turists in England try to push the
claims of the sweet pea as a corona
tion flower Queen Mary has decided
that the pink carnation is the blossom
she will carry.
The Windsor, which Ia deep pink,
Ia the carnation she particularly fay
ors. but the Lawson, cerise> carna-
ton; the EnchaRtress, which is pale
pink, and the Mrs. Joliffe, which is sal
mon pink, will also be fashionable du
ring the season. The Worshipful Com
pany of Gardeners have begged to be
allowed TO present the coronation bou
quet and the queen has agreed to ac-
cept it from them SO they will keep
the rarest and most perfect Windsor
carnations obtainabls for the royal
bouquet.
abf tv.1 Ind rdlu rdl rdlouoouo
One of her reasons for preferring
the carnation to the sweet pea as the
flower to be used is that the weather
will probably be very warm at the
time OF the coronation and the sweet
pea fades very easily. while the car.
nation does not droop In the heat.
