GLAZING the PoultrY-House.

In replacing glass in poultry-house
windows it pays to use putty. With
out it the panes cannot be made tight
and are much more likely to be broken.
l remove all cid putty with thin
knife, scraping the wood we'll where
any has fallen out. For holding the
glass in the frame I use slim, headless
tacks-shoe tacks are good, says a
writer in an exchange. then take
small portion of putty, roll it between
the hands until it forms long, slen-
der rope, press up against the sash
with the thumb, and smooth down with
a putty or blunt-pointed kitchen knife.
More than 10 minutes are seldom re-
quired to put glass in int this way.

Cutivating Beets With Electric Hoes.
645,O0O,0OO pounds, or 100000 tons,
more sugar was consumed last year
than would have been consumed ten
years ago had the population at that
time been the same as it is today.
This goes to show that the manu-.
facture OF beet sugar in the United
States, in spite of its wonderful prog
ress during the past few years. has
not even kept pace with the increased
rate of consumption.

RAISING POULTRY FOR EGGS
Maine Agricultural Experiment Station
Issues Bulletin Giving Results
With Plymouth Rocks.

Under the above title the Maine
agricultural experiment station has Is
sued Bulletin 1872, which summarizes
all of the results OF the experiments
which have beep carried on at the sta
ton during the last Is years in at,
tempting to improve by breeding the
average egg production Of strain Of
Barred Plymouth Rock poultry. An
account IS given of the results of the
earlier experiments in selecting the
highest producers as breeders without
regard to any other qualities than
their trap nest records. 1t is shown
that this plan Of breeding failed to OBJ
tain any distinct Improvement In flock
production. The experiments of the
station to find out whether continued
artificial incuba ton and brooding has
a harmful effect on egg production are
described The effect Of inbreeding on
egg production is discussed on the
basis of extensive experimental rec
ords. This IS followed by a clear and
simple explanation Of a new plan @
breeding which has been tried during
the past five years, and which is based
upon the conception that high egg pro
ductiveness is inherited in certain
"blood lines" and not in others. and
that by a proper system of pedigree
selection it is possible to isolate the
high producing lines. The last section
of the bulletin is devoted to an exposi-
ton of the gratifying success which
has attended the application of this
new plan of breeding to the station
flock. Strains which have high egg
productiyeness fixed as definite
character have now been obtained and
are being propagated at the station.

CBy. S. C. CLINTON, Iowa.

The first refined beet-root sugar
produced in commercial quantity was
made about 100 years ago, at cost
of approximately so cents a pound.
The cost of producing cane sugar was
then somewhat higher than that OF
beet sugar. g.
The amount of raw sugar extracted
from the beet at that time varied
from to 6 per cent, and the amount
of refined sugar obtained was from l
to . per cent OF the weight of the
beet
The cost of producing an acre OF
beets was estimated at approximately
S35. while the yield was from 6 to 20
tons per acre.
The advances that have been made
in cultural methods have been Offset
to very great extent by the in
creased cost of labor in the United
States. so that the actual reduction

FOR FEEDING TURKEYS ONLY
Small V-Shaped Trough Elevated to
Height to Allow Big Birds to
Pick From Is Useful.

Often on farm where turkeys are
raised right along with the chickens
and other poultry, 1t is desirable to
feed them heavier than the other poul-
try, yet suitable means of doing so are
not available without a fenced yard
to serarate them, writes P. c. Gross
of Ohio in the Prairie Farmer. In
such cases the following contrivance
serves admirably:
A small V-shaped trough, of imma-
terial length, is elevated by5means of
supports to height that will allow
the turkeys to stand on the floor and
pick from it, yet be too high to per-
NIT the chickens and small fowls do
ing likewise. Three or four inches
above the top of the trough board, as
wide as the trough, is attached fiat
wise This prevents the chickens from
flying up and standing on the edge of
the trough. The sides of the trough

Corn 2 Poor Horse Feed.

It Is claimed on reliable authority
that corn-fed horses are more sus-

Glover for Egg Production.

Clover is as much an egg producer
as 1t is a producer Of milk. 1t Is rich
in nitrogen and mineral matter. HaV-
ing a high nutritiye ration, 1t Is equal
to barley, and almost as high as
wheat. It's action Is to extend the food
ration, reduce the too concentrated
grain food, and prevent the accum,I-
lation of internal fat. The second
crop or proven" clover is the best.
Glover should be cut when in full
blossom. Let it grow until the first
blossoms begin to turn brown.

prevent the turkeys from reaching the
corn or other fed in the bottom Of the
trough.
With such a trough the turkeys may
be fattened right among the other
poultry, and no feed wasted on the
other fowls.
OF course, the chickens will climb on
top of the fiat board, but from it they
can not reach the trough.
