The bacterial life which is respon-
sible for scab in potatoes will live
over in the ground from one year to
another, but the spores which cause
smut in wheat and oats do not; hence
treating the seed means clean grain
the following season, even on ground
that produced a smutty crop the pre-
YiOuS season.

A good many hens have that queer
streak which makes them prefer to lay
their eggs In the barn or wood house of
a neighbor than Of their owner. Per
haps it is the same tendency that
makes so many youngsters prefer to
play at the neighbours than ct home.

The fact is not generally known, but
the tubers If the single blossomed
dablias are now being grown for con-
sumption. as are sweet potatoes.
Another curiosity along the same line
is the use of milkweed as vegetable,
it being cut when tender and used as
one does asparagus.

The cause of scientific agriculture
lost one of its most able and devoted
advocates in the death Of Professor
F. II. King, who died at Madison,
Wis, a short time ago. Besides writ
ing number Of books on drainage, ir-
rigation and soil physics, he devised
the system of ventilation for barns
which bears his name and has been
so generally used by progressive farm
ers everywhere.

One level headed farmers wife we
know who keeps many laying hens
resents the idea of having her nice
fresh eggs serve as a cork to float the
prices Of the great quantities of eggs
OF uncertain reputation that are mar
keted in violation Of pure food laws.
She has made deal with a hotel in
a large market center $50 miles from
where she lives and every three or
four days crates her eggs and ships
them to her customer by express.
Each egg is stamped with the date on
which it Is laid For eggs marketed
under these conditions she receives
90 per cent more than If they were
sold locally and marketed in mis-
cellaneous shipment. She has assumed
that relation to the egg market which
gives her higher price in just the pro-
portion that other folks market stale
eggs. thus increasing the demand for
those strictly fresh. She takes pains
and Is well paid for her trouble.

Our hens are fat and in fine con-
dition, but don't lay" is a summary
Of the complaint of hundreds of poul-
try keepers-in fine condition perhaps
for the roasting pan or kettle, but not
for producing eggs. It's their fairness
and fine condition that are the cause of
the trouble. Switch them from a diet
consisting chiefly of corn to one of
wheat, bran, skimmilk. green stuff.
meat scraps and the like, and the hens
will sing different tune and fill the
egg basket.

One living in central or eastern
states and who has not been in the
Golden State is sometimes at a loss
to understand how orange ranches can
have value of from $1,000 to $4,000
per acre. But such prices are intel
ligible when one takes into account
the value of single crops which are
got from such orange groves. One
lady, Mrs. Sears, who owns fifteen
acre ranch in the southern part of
California, recently sold her crop of
Valencias on the trees for $4,000 and
had nothing to do in the transaction
but indorse a draft for the amount.
OF course this orange ranch did not
come by chance, but was given pains

No finer cooperation is exemplified
anywhere than that which is being put
into practice by many country pastors
in connection with the varied practical
problems which confront their parish
toner's and by these same Woodworking
Pensioners in relation to the moral
and spiritual problems which the dom
1nie has on his hands. This co-Opera-
ton carried out to the fullest extent
possible has more in it of contentment
and happiness for the American than
any other agency that can be named,
Kerosene is sometimes used as
means of accelerating lazy fire, but
in the case of an Illinoisan the other
day there was so much acceleration
that the unfortunate members of the
family could not adjust themselves to
it. The stove blew up, setting fire to
the house, and five members of the
family were burned to death before
they could make their escape from
the house When kerosene is put on a
smoldering fire gas is at once gen.
Grated that is as dangerous as gaso-
line. 1t is the ignition of this gas that
raises havoc in such cases.
