In attempting to farm without
grasses the farmer is lifting
without q lever. He is pulling a
load with the weight on the hind
wheels. He is cutting with a
dull az.
Coal Ash., KIN Hen Pssts.

In the spring Of 1909 my henhouse,
. small one. but large enough for my
small flock Of hens, became badly in
tested with mites. Two large window
openings on the south side Of the
house have no glass, but are covered
with muslin during the cold weather.
and ! find it well to have the roosting
place protected by q muslin curtain
during the cold months. This curtain
was swarming with mites, and I remov-
ed 1t and subjected 1t to q bath Of
boiling water. Then, following the
advice Of an acquaintance who keeps
. few hens, I busted all parts Of the
house thoroughly with fine sifted coal
ashes and placed a supply Of the ashes
in the house for the hens to dust them
solves with and have kept up the sup
ply ever since. / have had no nor
trouble with mites, and the hens keep
remarkably free from lice.-Rural New
Yorker.

he shows the different qualities that
soil must have and how. when the soil
becomes depleted, some sort Of replen-

provided. Following Is an extract from
the article:

Us better crops? That homely creature
