in one day less than three weeks,
entered heartily into his work which
he CONSTITUTES to be the only way of
salvation know to men, and is leaving
the foot print of his hand in many OF
the homes in that region. He teaches
entire surrender to the will of God,
the humiliation of every sensual and
selfish desire, the impoverishing of
ones self as related to worldly good,
to strenuous staying away from every
other sort of worship, the strict en-
forcement of the power inherent in
the ministers of the focks, the aboli-
ton of every form of amusement and
the utter distaste for the comon rule
of church life and worship now found
in the universal church, which he says
has apostaized for all time to come.
Your slave likes to have good long
talks with the old men and women.
Saturday last he found a veritable
nest of these folks and got much
ancient history of rare value. The
innocent old soul who gave me this
story was qnilting when my gentle
knock attracted her attention. 1t was
only very short time when the way
our girls have sweethearts, was gett-
ing handled pretty roughly. Grandma
said this thing of thirteen year old
girl having company" and fussing
around with some boy who was al
lowed to come see her" was a eau
ton. She said that somebody would
have got good spanking in her day
if anything like that was undertaken.
She said, why there was Barbara
McCanne, never set out at all and she
got married. l went over there one
morning and there was Bill Brock just
setting there as unconcerned as you
please. l knowed something was in
the wind right away and sure enough
the first thing we heared Bill and
Barbara were married. That was all
right too, for she was about thirty
and he was forty or fifty. There is
some sense to such doings as that, but
think of these little children here in
Caldwell a fixing and aprimping and
stewing about their fellows. Par

The old lady said she had heared

and who has been kept awake many
a night listening to the husband tell
how good the grain looks in its var
ious stages of growth. Then there
are the years when old Sol dries up
the moister and the twenty bushels
go glimmering and ten bushels come
through to tell the tale. Other years
thirty-five bushels grow as sort OF
teaser to keep the farmer from gett-

there are other things to the ranch

At the Woburn experimental fruit

ed into the effect OF grass on trees.
and the experiments which have been
carried out form the substance OF the
thirteenth report of the farm. which
has just been Issued.
II has been shown that the general
result OF grassing the ground. either
by sowing seed or replacing the turf
after the trees have been planted. is
the arrestation of all healthy growth
and the absolute stunning OF the
tree.
A light and unhealthy character i'm.
parted to the leaves is one of the ilrst
noticeable results OF the action OF
grass upon trees. With trees that are
feeling the full effect of grass the
fruits are found to be small and III
developed.
The variations In soil temperature
are less when the ground is grassed
and this alone would be favorable to
the growth OF trees: but this good in
huence is outweighed by the dele
terious effects.-London Daily Mail

PURE WATER ESSENTIAL
Mistaken Idea That Hogs Thrive Un'
der Filthy Conditions.

Steers and hogs and all other AMI
mails that are fattening or giving milk
or doing any work. require a good,
pure supply Of clean. fresh water at
all times. It is a mistake to think
that the hog will do Just as we'll as If
he drinks the muddy. filthy water OF
the wallow. A shallow pond in q
corner of the pasture is not a good
enough supply for the steers. And
an icy cold supply 10 not good enough
for the dairy cow.
The fact that the difference in gain
can not be noticed from day to day
makes some men careless about these
things. II the cattle or hogs were
put On the scales regularly. however.
or the milk weighed at every milking.
1t would soon be seen that the water
supply is a matter Of vital importance

to other farm buildings which the
birds are inclined to overrun and in
habit, thus becoming nuisance. In
addition, the yard space is so limited
that the fowls are fed on the same
soil for successive years, thus in
creasing the tendency to filthy con-
ditions and unhealthy docks. These
are problems which must be encoun-
tered Additional yard space would
eliminate this last question to some
extent.
Again, the farmer demands house
which requires little attention. With
this idea in mind, the university is
planning to build a poultry house
which shall demonstrate the way to
meet these conditions.

rounding ground, by separating the
two or three inches of some coarse
material in cases where the moisture
works up from beneath, and by an
efficient system of ventilation. An
abundance of light also tends toward
cheerfulness, which is more conducive
to winter egg production. Ventila-
tion tends to better health, resulting
from the abundant supply of fresh
air, and also to the more perfect dry
ness due to the carrying away Of the
foul, damp air.
AS to location the farm poultry
house is usually subject to severe
criticism. Usually it is located close
The Butler weekly times., 1912-01-11

and covered with wire screen. Two
12-light windows with Sx10-inch glass
are placed in the west end to prop
erly light the building, and these are
so arranged so as to open easily, thus
affording free air circulation during
the summer. The roost should be To-
Gated on the back side as far as pos
sible from the openings.
The open front house has certain
special advantages. 1t is always well
ventilated, adapting itself to changes
of temperature without the constant
attention of the attendant. Muslin
frames might be used to keep out
storms. but usually one is not present
at the time to do the adjusting. One

would be led to believe that this
house would prove too cold, but ex-
perience has shown that the birds
do we'll under similar conditions. A
cold, dry temperature is not as dis
astrous as cold, damp conditions, and
very often frozen combs result from
excessive moisture. Again, frozen
combs may be due to extreme
changes in temperature rather than
continued cold, and in this respect the
variation in this house is not as great
as in some of our glass front houses.
The house is far from perfect, but it
meets the needs of the average farm

the best ways to give them this exer-
