BE1NG POOR.

There is no shame in being poor,
but shame in being ashamed Of
the fact, says Mrs. Irene McLar-
Gan. This seems a complicated
sentence, but nevertheless is very
true. Like all didactic utteran-
ces, however, it must be qualified
there is shame in being poor If
he poverty comes from wasteful-
ness and idleness.
Degrees Of distinction as to the
definition of the world poor
nay be considered also; it is to be
poor when one wishes for such
things, either necessities or lux
,lries, that can be had but are
ignored for others that proclaim
selfishness; it is real poverty to
long for fine clothes when one has
enough respectable ones to be
decent; it is still worse poverty
TO seek for indulgence in expen-
sive tastes when the household
generally needs only comforts
While it is an absolute sin to try
10 obtain these things at the ex-
pense Of others really needed,
and that which, as a rule, can be
lad.
When comparisons are drawn
it will be found that the home
mistress who has means to pur-
chase with strict economy per-
laps, all her family requires in
The way of food, clothing aud
create comforts, is rich. 1t is she
who wastes the little at her CON-
mand foolishly, who "pays the
piper" when she dances at the
tune of extravaganza.
Too often a love of fine clothes
IS a woman's downfall. To wear
what her neighbor wears, only a
3hade better, is her longing, to
crafty which she perils her soul.
Dress is not the only thing, how.
ever; sparkling jewelry and
household appointments bring dis
aster oftener in what may be
called the middle stratus. ]" A
man is making a comparatively
comfortable income; his own
tastes are simple, but he wishes to
see his beautiful wife in such ap-
parel as to enhance her loneliness.
He borrows; often he steals, to
reach the end he aims for, and
Who is to blamei

This is the subject OF Bulletin

This bulletin Eliminates subject
Of great Importance to more thar
half the farmers Of the United
States.
The Investigations of ! which
this bulletin treats have continued
for a period Of six years; having
commenced with 1907. The land
was a typical Eastern Montana
silly clay loan having fair con-
tent of humus with q small per-
centage of gravel in the lower lay
ers. It was level land which had
been broken and cropped in 1901
but had lain idle since that year
and was covered with growth of
large weeds. These were turned
under and the land was thorough
~ worked down in 1906, ready for
the series of tests.
The thirty years weather rec
ord at Miles City shows an ave.
rage annual rainfall Of IL inches.
Three times in the thirt years it

times it exceeded Is inches.

moisture than it uses.
However, when the cover croT
is of grain and instead Of be
| ing grazed off or turned under II
| is permitted to mature a crop Of
seed, it then rapidly exhausts tht
soil moisture. For instance, Ii
these Montana experiments tht
plats continuously cropped in tht
spring wheat averaged 20 Ia
bushels per acre the first year
but less than 4 IL bushels pei
year thereafter; showing that tht
maturing Of the first crop exhaust.
ed the soil moisture to such ex.
tent that it was never regained
, under the same treatment. Month
ly examinations Of the soil mois
! ture Of these plats showed that
the first two feet averaged the
year through but fraction more
than the percentage Of moisture
that this soil withholds from uss
i by the crops.
One series Of neighboring plats
were cultivated throughout the
summer but not planted, and
another series lay fallow (un-
planted) but not cultivated; the
comparison being q test Of the
value of summer tillage for the
conservation Of soil moisture. The
moisture in the first two fee Of
soil on all these plats was ascer-
tanned once q month, and it was
found that the average soil mois-
ture was Is "a per cent on the
titled plsts and only fraction
over ~ per cent On the untitled
plats.
Comparing the percentage Of
moisture found in the soil with the
record Of rainfall during the per-
iod covered by these tests, II was
found that only IL IL per cent
Of the rainfall was stored In the
soil; the other 81 IL per cent be-
ing lost by evaporation and sip
age.
Deducting the 8 IA percentage
unavailable moisture from the IL
per cent found in the untitled
plats, leaves 8 ~ per cent that

showed that the soil moisture OF
the cultivated plats had increased
while that of the adjacent pas
ture lands had remained station
airy. Possibly this fact--namely,
that the soil moisture increases
from year to year IN cultivated
lands-accoumts for the opinion
generally prevalent that as a
country is settled up and put in
cultivation its rainfall increases
the truth being that the increased
moisture and more reliable crop
yields are due to tillage instead
of increased rainfall.
Chick Feeding.
Bulletin % Of the Tuskegee,
Alabama, Station treats OF poul-
try raising; but the large portion
of the bulletin is devoted to the
subject of rations for the young
fowls; and since the other por-
tons of this bulletin but repeA
well-known principles laid down
in standard works on poultry, |
will omit consideration of them.
The first &c hours after emerg-
ing from the shell, the little poult
is nourished by the unabsorbed
remnant Of the yolk Of the egg
still within it's body. After it be
gins to respond to the appeal OF
hunger, its first need is for grit
with which to grind the food it
may swallow; hence fine, sharp
sand or ether grit should be
placed within reach. Fine char
coal is also beneficial but not neg
essary.
As to the food itself, it is well
to remember that very little fat or
energy il to be produced, but a
large proportion Of muscle, bone
and feathers; hence the food
should consist of generous allow
ances Of pinhead oat meal, cracked
wheat, meat scraps, bone meal,
peas, beans, etc, ground small.
To supply heat and energy, coarse
corn grits, broken rice, kaffir, milo
maize, sorghum seed, millet or
rape seed, etc, should be added to
the mixture in smaller measure.
Milk curds are good If mash
be given it can be mixed with milk
or milk may be given instead OF
water for drinking. The mash
should either be squeezed dry
enough to "crumble" or should
be baked as a 'johnny cake"
The Tuskegee station uses a
ration composed Of equal parts by
measure of Wheat, corn, cowpeas,
rye, rice and sorghum sed, ground
|, as fine as coarse grits and fed dry.
The Maine station feeds mix
tue, by weight, Of Is parts cracked
wheat, 10 parts pinhead oatmeal,
8 parts cracked peas, 10 parts fine
cracked corn, 2 parts broken rice,
2 parts fine charcoal and 5 parts
chick grit, fed in litter to make
them scratch fer it.
Circular Is Of the Montana sta
ton recommends a dry mash of
bran 10 parts (by weight,) corn
meal or barley meal Is parts,
mddlings 5 parts, beef scraps 5
parts, gluten 2 IL parts. Goats
and barley are among the leading
crops produced in Montana, and
an equal mixture Of these would
make q basis for q good ration,
variety being secured by additions
Of small quantities Of oil meal,
gluten, or beef scraps at differ
ent times.

Circular No. 161 Of the Illinois
station treats Of this subject, and
is in the nature Of advice than a
recital Of afcts ascertained by
means Of experimentation. This
advice may be summarized as fol
lows:
Secure uniformity Of grade Of
your feeces by breeding q uni
form flock; keep them healthy
and thrifty, cleanly and free from
burs, dirt and litter; do not brand
them with oil paint nor tar; exer-
else watchful care against para
sites; exercise care and cleanli-
ness in shearing and in handling
the fleece; removig ell tags and
locks and rollig and tying each
fleece with the flesh side out; use
Irvine that Is hard and smooth SO
that no loose twine fibers will get
into the wool to annoy the weav.
ers by appearing in he cloth, and
pack the fleeces in closely woven
bags that will not she'd their fibre |;
and finally, pack the feeces Of
lambs, ewes, wethers and rams in
separate bags and label the bags.
