ADVICE FOR TENANT
FARMER AND OWNER
ey PROF. H. C. TAYLOR.

More and more Wisconsin farmers
are continually beginning business by
renting. Unless these men are very
careful to obtain the right combina-
tiun of farm and landlord they will
be subjected to a great deal OF yexa.
ton. and even financial loss.
In choosing a farnl, consider its
suitability to the type OF farming mos,
congenial to you, Its location with
respect to markets, schools, etc, the
qualities Of the soil. the arrangement
of the fields and buildings for
economy OF labor, the size OF the farm,
the water supply. and the sanitary
conditions of the home. Ascertain II
there has been any sickness in the

OF the rent asked should be looked
into BY making inquiry of the out

these points, and at the same time

may BE- ascertained.
The farm being found satisfactory,
make sure that the landlord Is fair
minded man, capable OF giving good
advice but not over-free with his sug-
gestions nor over-lnsistent upon his
own notions being followed in detail.
A nagging landlord makes the day
long and the work tiresome.
The landlord should try TO see the
situation from the viewpoint Of the
tenant as well as his own and then
strive to be fair. This will pay not

from being decent with ones fellow
men. but also in greater returns from

I'VE were on a stage journey from
Lewiston, Idaho to Grangeville. Idaho
a distance of 10 miles. The stage
stopped for noon at the Fountain
house, halfway between the two
towns. A large raccoon was chained by
the collar to a post in the front yard.
After luncheon the driver Of the stage
gathered up a plate of food from the
table and carried 1t out to where
plate just out of reach of the rae

One of the passengers said. Why

He can reach IT. the driver re-
Piled.
He can't, unless you move the
plate nearer

THE raccoon had by this time
given up trying to reach the food. and
sat whining. He seemed to ponder
over the problem for a few moments,
then stretched his chain to its fullest
extent. turned round, reached out with
his hind foot. dragged the plate to-
ward him, reversed the process. grasp

amusement of the onlookers and the

kept free from lice by giving her free
access to good dirt bath, supple
mented with occasional busting with
a good insect powder or perhaps more
satisfactory, greasing the feathers In
the upper part OF the fluff just below
the vent with a little mercuric oint-
ment or other grease which will prove
deadly to the lice and do the hen no
harm. Waste of eggs must be pre-
vented by keeping the nests clean and
well Uttered with soft materials, such
as fine straw, hay or shavings, provid-
ing plenty OF nests, and doing every
thing possible to prevent breakage OF
eggs In the nests.
Many thousand dollars every year
are lost by breakage in transit due to
soft shelled eggs. To prevent this
attention should also be paid to giving
the hens abundance of lime in such
form as lime rock, oyster shells or
broke.- egg shells, so that all of the
eggs will have strong shells to insure
safe marketing.

OF far more Importance than the
actual increase In numbers of hens
In Wisconsin is an increase in the
average number OF eggs laid per hen
and also an increase In the quality a.
these eggs, The NUMBER of eggs can
be increased by more careful breeding
and by more careful attention to such
details as feeding and housing.
A good market egg is ovoidal in
shape with a smooth. firm shell and
not overly large nor too small, weigh
ing between "a and 80 ounces to the
dozen, We shall undoubtedly always
find some extra large eggs and some
fat sided and badly shaped eggs,
All Of these should be kept at home
for use on the table.
AS pullets Matched from eggs OF
irregular shape or size are apt to
produce eggs OF the same kind, the
quality of the output can be improved
by carefully selecting the eggs that
are to be incubated Therefore, dur
ing the spring the very best shaped
eggs should be used for incubation.
1t is surprising that very little atten.
ton is paid by the average farmer
to this question of sorting the eggs
for Matching. Another important
means OF improving the product Is
to see that the eggs are gathered
twice day and marketed at least
twice a week.
Hens can turn into profit the wastes
of the farm, such as scattered grain,
screenings and table refuse. BY Civ.
ing free range during the summer
they may be encouraged to consume
as many insects as possible, thus not
only getting free feed, but even more

WIFE BfCS FOR

Little Rock, May 9-The wife Of

spent more than an hour with Cover
nor Donaghey Wednesday pleading
for communication of the death sent
ence. He has already granted three
yeprieves that he might have time to
make a thorough investigation Of the
case. The report published in Jones'

declined to interfere was unauthoriz-
ed, and when the faithful Mrs. Nor
gan left him Wednesday evening
there was still hope that Thursday
might see her prayer granted. A let
ter from Morgan was also presented
to the governor, making final APP
peal for clemency. There is also a
petition signed by $500 asking that
his sentence be changed to life i'm
Or. sonment.
