KEEP TAB ON AGE OF FOWLS
Enables PouItryman to Gull Out Hen'
That are Unprofltable-One
Method Favored.

It Is mere guess work to tell the
age of a hen after she has passed the
pullet stage. To the good poultrymar
It is important that the exact age
every fowl on his premises be known
Hens that are past the age for proht
should be culled out and their places
taken by the younger stock. Legbands
with numbers may be used when the
pullets arrive at maturity. and, II rec
ords are kept, the identity OF each
fowl is easily established. A less elab-
crate method, and one which no poul
trykeeper can afford not to follow. Is
to punch a hole in one Of the four
webs Of the feet, each web represent
ing a certain year. Special punches
for this purpose may be purchased
from any poultry supply house, but a
small sized leather belt punch can be
used to good advantage. The hole ID
punched very easily when the newly
Matched chick is first taken from the
nest or incubator. All of one seasons
chicks may be marked on the same
web, although If special hatchings
are to be kept separately as high as
fifteen combinations can be used. II
properly done the hole or traces OF
the scar will always remain and the
identity Of the fowl cannot be lost.

MILLIONS ARE TO BE SPENT
Seventy Cities Of the United States
Join In the Effort for Civic
Improvement

One hundred million dollars is to be
spent to make seventy United States
cities beautiful.
Improvements requiring this nine
figure expenditure have been planned
by municipalities all over the country.
Cities along the Pacific slope. cities
along the eastern coast and interme-
date cities are all part OF the move
ment to evolve the real city beautiful.
1t is expected that fifty more munich
palities will follow this pioneer exam
pie within a year and that foreign OBJ
servers soon will have TO omit the
customary chapter on the ugliness
and monotony OF American communi-
ties.
When James Brice wrote his Amer
lean Commonwealth" he remarked
justly that with but five or six excep-
lions American cities differ from one
! another only in that some are built
with more brick than wood and others
with more wood than brick"
That these conditions are going &c

fourth national conference on city
planning. held at Boston. The mayor:
OF twenty-five different cities accepted
the invitation rendered to them by
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston. the Bos
ton chamber of commerce and th'
Boston City club. With them cam,

Community Improvement.

It is not wise for a community to
undertake general improvement until
each shall first have cleaned up his
own property. In fact a neighbor-
hood must be noted for It's neat ap-
pearance before much good will come
from united effort looking to the So
called cleaning-up for identifying.
While rake and hoe and shovel will
aid much. saw and pruning shears IN
the hands OF one lacking Judgment
may do land often does) more harm
than good. Spasmodic efforts seldom
result in great permanent improve
ment. When ones own premises are
above reproach he may with propriety
urge a very general improvement up
on the neighborhood. In attacking
and prosecuting this work observe
the same rules and methods by which
you keep your own place neat and
attractive. and you will not go fal
astray.

Excellent Device for Harvesting and
Embarrassing Horse-PreVents
Straps From Tanglinq.

A device for Harvesting and I'm.
Harvesting horses is described and
illustrated in the Iowa Homestead by
J. F. Forest and which he has in use
on his own farm. 1t consists of IS
inch rod threaded and frightened with
burrs and inserted between the joists
above the horse, similar to manure
carrier cable. There are awning pull
leys fastened together in a pair SO
that one pulley runs on the three
eighths rod. and the other has rope
run through it with two hooks tied
in so that there is an end OF rope
hanging below each hook. These
hooks are tied in according to this
height OF the horse. one hook being
clear up to the pulley and the other
to hook into the hame ring or strap,
pull the other end OF the ropes which
lifts the names clear of the horse and
hook the other hook in hame ring or
strap. The back pad and breeching
are lifted in the same manner one

other can be used above the breech'

and this plan of breeding should be
continued. cross after cross. until five
or six top-crosses Of the same pure
draft breed blood having been put on
the progeny is practically pure bred
OF the breed used in its making.
There should never be the slightest
deviation from this plan OF breeding.
Had there been in France We would
not have the modern Percherons of
today; and mixed breeding. such as
has characterized American opera
tons. would have absolutely prevent
ed the origination and perpetuation OF
the Clydesdale, Shire. Suffolk or Bel
gian breeds. Selection and some mix
ing in blood had to be followed in the
early origination OF these breeds. but
II is no longer necessary and nov
would be ruinous. Then. too, the sire
must be sound, and throughout the
entire operation of horse breeding, as
we have seen. adequate feeding must
be the rule.

Side Elevation Of Poultry House.

seldom that a dirty house will be
found to be free from these pests.
Lice and mites cause moro losses
among poultry than all other things
combined
Poultry houses should be so ar
ranged inside that the poultryman
can keep down the mites without an
undue expenditure of time and en-
ergy. Mites live in a house and must
be killed there. busting the hens
will never get rid of them.
The best means OF getting rid of
mites in the houses is to spray thor
oughly with kerosene emulsion. This
should be done twice with an interval
OF from FIVE to seven days between
the sprayings.
The emulsion is made as follows:
Cut up one pound of soap and dissolve
It in hot water; while the water is
hot. stir in two gallons Of kerosene
and continue stirring for fifteen &c
twenty minutes. II Is important &c

Considering what has been said we

OF draft horses is being brought about
by the following of these rules, and
their observance has led to the sue
