For the Farmer Who Thinks.

The winter II a favorable time to
blast out rocks and stunps and grub
out elders and willows.
There are places where alfalfa and
clovers do not thrive. but the cowpea,
that poor lands and poor mans friend.
will grow most anywhere. Plant plenty
Of cowpeas next spring.
Now, when the heavy wagon is not
in use, il a good time to take It on the
big barn door. disjoint it and wash it
and give It q good coat Of paint. This
will add many years to the life Of the
wagon.
Those extra large weeds will make
excellent filling to catch the sediment
that Is washed down in the bitches in
and their seeds thus will be deposited
where they cannot develop another
crop Of the pests next season.
The young man who Is planting a
windbreak for his future home is max
ing a mistake If he does not include a
few nut bearing trees. That four or
ave rows OF evergreens should be
planted goes without saying. but wal
nuts, hickory nuts and butternuts will
more than pay for the land and labor.

Poljton0ss,

The extent to which a girl is called
ON to use politeness and tact in her
daily life makes it necessary for her to
cultivate a pleasing manner and to be
Q respecter of all persons. no matter
what their station is. Occasionally
some girls are accused Of discourtesy
to their elders or being unkind to chill
dren or doing some little act which
does not reflect to their credit. But
politeness at all times should be fol-
lowed, even to a fault, and considera-
don for others will widen our &C.

Scared Him on.

Ralph r. Bradley, Chicago lawyer,
had client who had some differences
with a farmer down state. Mr.. Brad

on a letterhead showing the address of
the lawyers firm in the Rookery. He
received no reply and was obliged
eventually to make a trip to close the
litigation. Meeting the farmer. he
asked him why he had not shown him
the courtesy at least to acknowledge
the receipt Of the letter.

ANSWER


ed over or just moved about?
What is the best feed to grow
quick broilers.
ANSWER.
Usually the price for Matching eggs
is three to five cents each for the
eggs that are set. The operator of
the incubator, of course. furnishes
the machine and the oil.
There is no objection to placing the
water in the machine as suggested.
However, it is best to follow the di-
rections sent out with incubators. If
they advocate moisture, supply same,
and if not, don't do so. If you have
had results from this method, there
is no reason why you should not con-
tinue it.
Little chickens that do not feather
usually this is caused from a lack OF
animal feed, such as meat scrap,
blood meal or milk, to help them grow
a coat of feathers. If you will take
one part meat scrap and two parts
bran, after the chickens are a week
old and keep this before them at
all times, you will have no trouble in
this respect.
1t is immaterial about how eggs are
turned-just so they are moved, or
their position is changed twice a day.
1t makes no difference if they go back
in the same place. The exercise, or
changing of the eggs, even for a few
minutes, is all that is necessary.
Ordinarily the rest way to turn eggs
in an incubator is to take few
eggs out and roll the remainder
around in the tray, by placing the
hands on top of the eggs and gently
shifting them into different posi-
tons in the tray.
The best feed for young chickens is
to start them off the first week with
most any of the prepared chick feeds
on the market. At the end of week
they should have a change. Substitute
some cracked rice, oatmeal and pearl
grits. Keep before them, at all
times. in a box where they can get it,
two parts bran, one part meat scrap,
with small amount of charcoal. In
addition to this, they should also
have some green food If you wish
them to grow and keep strong and
healthy. AS soon as they are old
enough to eat wheat and cracked
corn. this should be substituted for
the more expensive feeds. They
should be fed, every two or three
hours, just what they will eat clean
taking away any that they do not
consume with a relish. At the end
of five weeks, if you expect to mar
ket them they should be fed at
O'Clock and II o'clock. and at night,
for a week or ten days before they
are put on the market, which will
make them fatten very rapidly by
giving these extra feeds.
