1t WAS some time ago, while abe was
living in England. One night she and
a friend were spending , quiet eve
ming by the fire, chatting, reading.
Mrs. Burnett friend, be it understood.
sat throughout the event in an arm.
chair by the fire. and did not leave
her place until all was over 30 that.
as In the case of conjurers, there could
have been mo deception" on her part.
Mrs. Burnett went in the course OF
the evening TO her desk and wrote q
letter. She signed, folded. directed,
sealed and stamped it. and stood it up
against silver cigarette box on the
center table Then she arose to 10
and Sit by the fire again.
Presently, wishing the letter post
ed, she started to take steps toward
having 1t matted She looked for il on
the center table. and the letter was
not there. She looked all over tho
table In vain. she rubbed her eyes
and looked again. She knew she had
stood that letter up against the silver
cigarette box. but Twas not there.

NOTING IN THE HENS

When winter eggs are desired 1t Is
her feathers early in the fall, so that
an entire new coat covers the body
before the cold weather begins. If the
melting is delayed, the production of
new feathers IN cold weather Is such
a drain on the vitality of the fowl and
SO much of the elements of her food
are needed for the plumage produc-
tion that usually she is not able to
produce eggs before the spring
months.
The proper months for melting are
August, September and October. If
melting Is completed during the fall
months, the hen begins winter In good
condition. and If properly housed and
fed. may produce eggs during the en-
tire winter.
Many methods have been tried to
hasten the melting season and thus
secure more eggs in winter All meth
ods are more or less injurious to the
fowls, and poultrymen who desire vi.
tality as well as utility stand by Ma
fl0kC . uCtu0us AoI the luoilluS ueu.
The Van Dresser method of promot-
Ing an early mott is considered the
nearest to Natures method cit con-
ssists in Withholding food, either wholly
gcr In part. for a few days, which stops
eegg production, and reduces the
weight Of the fowls, and then feeding
heavily on a ration suitable for the
formation Of the feathers and general
building up of the system"
B, The fowls are kept in small yards
where nothing but green food and wa.
ter are given them for two weeks.
After this time they are literally fed
ration rich in protein or nitro
.genous food, which is especially val
liable for the growth OF feathers.
A mixture made of 4 parts wheat.
Q parts corn, ! part beef scraps, and
j part linseed meal forms very good
~!molting ration. With this should be
fed plenty Of green grass, clover or
alfalfa.
During the entire melting period
great care should be exercised to keer
everything about the poultry houses
and yards clean and sanitary All
dropping and cast off feathers should
be removed daily

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER.

A large per cent of the farmers OF
West Virginia use the 1-8-1 type which
sells from $500 to $4,000 per ton.
Why this particular type Of fertilizer
finds such widespread seal III not
easily accounted for except that most
men buy fertilizers not at so much per
pound OF plant food. A 1-8-2 fertilizer
means one which contains 20 pounds
Of ammonia, leo pounds Of phosphoric
acid and 40 pounds OF potash per ton.
The amount Of phosphoric acid in
the above fertilizer is relatively high
and since crops are greatly benefited
by the use of Dhosphoric acid. the
farmer thinks he has received good re-
turns for every dollar he invested.
The question is whether or not, in
most cases. the phosphoric acid, II
used alone, would not have given as
large returns as all three.
The best farmers are taking care
of the nitrogen supply by growing
clover. alfalfa. or soy beans and by
supplying barnyard manure. They
buy phosphoric acid and potash and re-
ceive profitable returns from It. Nit
rogen, to be purchased and use at 3
profit, must be obtained at the right
price and not at two or three times
its worth as is generally the case in
the 1872 type.

The fruit should be transferred from

If the picking is 70 be done In the
orchard, the fruit should be picked
and placed directly upon the packing
table. Never place 4 In piles upon
the ground, to be packed later. This
not only entails an extra handling and
increased cost, but gives the fruit a
dull, dead appearance and seriously
impairs it's keeping qualities. When
the packing is done IN the storage OF
packing house the fruit should be haul
ed directly to the building as soon as
picked. In this case it is we'll to let It
cool over night before packing.

$4,000 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In report of the House Committee
Washington appears the following:
Canada offers q three-year home
stead upon good land. easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
OF absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All Of which is true and 1t Is now
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, IL addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence of these Is found In the
letters contributed by some of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks Of that district,
but what he says, applies generally to
all Of Southern Alberta. He says:
u have seen six crops, four of them
were first class, one Of them very
good crop, and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last if
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as ! have seen In this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture, SO that am thoroughly con-
vinced that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
OF moisture, and with the natural in
crease of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
In the world. We have good soil, good
water. and good climate, and alto
gether Just as desirable country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled so rapidly.
Full particulars can be had of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.
