Galvanized Force Feed Hopper Recon-
mended by Experts of the New
York State Agricultural College.

Recent experiments at the New York
State Agricultural college have dem
onstrated that both lime and grinding
material are required by fowls for best
results in health and production. II Is
essential. therefore, that fowls have ac-
cess to cracked oyster shells at all
times. 1t also appears To he desirable
that some other form OF grit be pro-
vided and perhaps charcoal as well.
For this purpose Il grit hopper large
enough to make frequent filling unnec-
sary and so constructed that Ii will
keep clean and not clog Is required.
The grit hopper shown in the illustra-
ton accomplishes these results Its
distinguishing feature is the rounded
back, which compes force feed. The
cost Is about S12 per dozen. Single
compartment hoppers will cost about
Sc per dozen.
A force feed hopper should have a
slanting cover, steep enough to pre-
vent the fowls roostng on it,
Where rats or mice are menace q
galvanized hopper. such as that illus
trated, Is recommended. 1t is more
expensive to make than the wooden
homemade hoppers, but is more eco
nomlcal In the end.

HOME TRADE IS A DUTY
NO CITIZEN SHOULD SHlRK.
The Place Where a Man Lives is tho
Place Where He Should, Buy No
eessitios of Life.

A case In point illustrating the bene-
fits of home trade to the town itself
has been told. 1t is subject that
permits OF elaboration. 1t was told
how town with the home trade spirit
forged away ahead of n neighborlng
town which obtained its merchandise
from the mail order houses The adj
vantage of trading Mt the home shops
was made plain. and now word on
the subject OF home trade as duty.
As matter Of fact. 1t is duty that
every citizen with the welfare of his
particular community at heart owes to
that community. Probably he himself
Is obliged to earn his living In that
town. If 30 no arguments should be
needed to convince him that home
trade is so much his duty that II he Is
patron Of the mail order houses In
stead he does not deserve livelihood
from the patronage Of his nelghbors.
Take the man who earns his bread
and butter In another town or city
In spite OF that fact It Is his, duty, too
to patronize the home stores. They are
doing business where he has establish
ed his home, where he casts his vote
at election time and where his chill
dren are going to school, He most GER
tainly owes that town something be-
sides his taxes.
or course fair treatment by the
storekeeper should be expected, and
usually he is shrewd enough to accord
1t. On the other hand, the thousands
who have to their sorrow bought "a pig
In the bag" from mail order house
know that distance lends enchant-
ment'-to the view the mail order
house takes Of the matter. A home
merchant cannot very well 20 behind
his announcements In the local papers,
while the mail order houses can and do
make nll kinds of offers in their city
papers, knowing full well the best sat
isfaction a defrauded customer in a
remote town can get is to write a let
ter Of protest-which goes into the
wastebasket.
This depression from the subject of
home trade as a duty Is merely to call
attention to the fact that there are
more spurious bargains advertised by
the mail order houses than genuine
ones.
Home trade as duty ought to be
town slogan. 1t should be practiced
and preached by every man and wo-
man identified with the best interests
Of the town they call their home.

years old. was playing in his
nursery one morning when
Mrs. Rawson, who was In full
charge of him. brought in little girl
of about the same years, saying to him ::
Heres little sister for you, Ralph.
Her name Is Gladys. Now. don't let
me hear any more, grumbling about not
having playmates like other children"
as she my sisterT said Ralph, look
ing at the girl |admlringly. why
haven't / seen her before?"
Don't ask questions or I'll send her
away"
SO Ralph and Gladys proceeded to
enjoy each others company In the
amusements Of childhood. AS they
grew older they wondered why they
had been separated till their first meet
ing and had been kept together ever
since. Since no one seemed disposed
to inform them they spent much time
building up hypothesis, Gladys prefer
ring those which accounted for her arS
sence from her brother, she having
been stolen by fairy when she was
baby But she had very little remem-
brance of her early life.
They had no playmates except each
other No one interfered with their
growing up together in. any way their
fancics led them. BY and by Ralph
began to talk about Gladys being his
wife. to which she responded that she
didn't believe brothers and sisters ever
married. And so as they passed
through different stages of develop
ment there came different kinds of
feeling till at last they were nearly
grown.
One day when they were fifteen
years old they discovered Mrs. Raw
son packing Gladys belongings. When
asked what she was going to do she
told them that Gladys was to be taken
away. The color vanished from the
face Of each. Nature had met for them
its FIRST conflict with civilization. and
nature always makes desperate fight.
especially In the case Of the young.
These two had been left to mate like
the birds. A separation now could
not be endured. Something must be
done. Several days elapsed before
there were any signs of Gladys i'm
mediate removal. which time they
spent in talking the matter over. What
was there for two children brought up
as they had been to do except to fee?
One morning they got together all the
money they hnd-money was never de-
MED them-and counted fS. some shil-
lngs and lot of pennies. Taking this.
they went Off on such ramble MS
they had often taken together before. =
They had been kept so aloof from
the world that there is a possibility
they did not know what marriage
meant. especially between brother and

Where Watermelons Do Best.

Notwithstanding their name. water
melons thrive best in n well drained
and comparatively dry soil. The best
soil is sandy loan. and It cannot be
worked up too WELL The most sue
cessful growers give the vines plenty
OF room, planting hills from eight to
twelve feet apart. Enough seeds are
planted to insure good stand and
lightly covered with about an inch Of
light soil. Before the vines begin to
run the hills are thinned out TO two
or three Of the most thrifty plants
The best way Of working IS to cult
waite closely as soon as the plants are
well up, then work them frequently

CUT OUT THE BORERS.
Your Peach and Plum Trees Will Suf-
for II You Neglect This Work.

for II You Neglect This Work.
Take look at your peach and plum
trees and see II there are any signs of
peach tree borers. A fine wood dust
at the base of the trees is the sign.
II it's there it's time for you to COM
bat one of the most destructive orchard
pests. -
The borer works beneath the bark
and wood at the base Of the tree. 1t
Is the larva of a wasplike moth which
files during the daytime from the mid
die of June to the middle of Septem-
Der and lays its eggs on the bark at
the base of the trunk. In few days
the little grub or worm matches from
the egg and eats its way through the
bark to the soft inner layer, where 1t
feeds and lives during the fall, winter
and spring. In June and midsummer
It becomes dormant and transforms
into moth.
When the borers are once under the
bark the best thing to do IS to remove
them with sharp knife blade or point
cd wire, say the horticulturists at the
Kansas Agricultural college 1t doesn't
injure the tree to cut the bark with
lengthwise Sits, but cutting should
never be crosswise. Fall and early
spring are the best times for removing
the borers.
The best way to fight the destructive
peach tree borers is to prevent their en-
tering the tree by coating the bark
with solution Of boiled lime and sui
phur.
Make this application after the bor-
ers in the trees have been killed. 1t
will prevent the moths from laying
eggs there for some time. This treat
ment is good for plum trees as well
as peach trees.
