The report from Pittsburg that the

A mother in Worcester. Mass. who

afternoon. returning from town, the
mother found the palms and ferns had

a palm. They enlightened her by ex-
planning that they were playing Ad-
am and Eve in the garden.
At that minute her youngest boy,
not three. came into the room as ma
ture had first given him to the world
except that he wore silk hat on his
head and carried a cane.

CORN SMUT Is
VERY INJURIOUS
Only Way to Control Disease Is

Corn smut may occur upon any part
of the corn plant: it may also infect
any young and tender part, at any
stage of the corn plants life. During
the winter the spores live in the soil
or in manure. In this respect corn
smut is different from the grain
SHUTS: in none of the latter is there
any appreciate danger of infection
from spores which have lived over in
the soil. In the spring the spores ger
inmate, producing long chains of new
spores, which are blown about by the
wind and infect any growing part OF
the corn plant, producing. finally. smut
balls. The spores may live in the soil
or in manure piles for years. This. of
course. makes seed treatment useless !:
and the only way to control the smut
is to destroy all smut balls, when pos
sible. to prevent them from shedding
their spores on the ground or into
manure. and avoid placing fresh
manure on corn land. Changing corn
land from year to year also is bens
fetal.

Squads die in the nest or are found
on the floor or do not fatten up prop

young chick can run about and help
itself to food and water and the other
necessities of life; whereas the squat

unable to walk and must be fed in the

HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS
Exercise Of Little Care in Gathering
and Selecting Will Net Advance
Over Common Price.

There Is no satisfaction and but
very little money in exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. By being care
full in gathering eggs, SO that they
won't become chilled in winter and
so the hens won't sit on them over
night and using little care in sizing
and selecting, quite an advance over
the common prices may be obtained.
When possible, sell your eggs direct
to the consumer. If not possible, get
market in your nearest city with
some grocer who deals in strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then, for your own sake.
live up to the agreement. Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't send small,
misshapen or large ones. Stamp each
egg with rubber stamp, using your
initials or the name of your farm, and
in a short time you will have created
demand for your eggs, and when
you have created such a demand your
eggs will bring the highest prices.
| considerably more than your store
| keeper would pay.
Several neighbors should send their
eggs together, paying a cent or two
per dozen to one of their number for
doing the business, and in this way
all would gain little.

ERRORS OF BEGINNER
Element of Common Sense Often
Is WoefuIIy Lacking.
Having BIundered in Initial Move He
Now Proceeds to Growing Folly
OF Purchasing Cheap Stock
Way for Success.

Practically all beginners are honest
in their belief in the business, but it
seems at times that the simple ele-
ment of common sense is woefully
lacking in the majority of cases-per-
haps because common sense is not so
common after all, writes w. B. Thorn
as, in Utility Pigeons.
Having Numbered in his initial
move, he now proceeds to the crown
ing folly of which he can be guilty
he buys cheap stock because it is
cheap. He is either victimized by the
proverbially conscienceless dealer, or
he takes the stock Of some fellow who
has already demonstrated himself a
failure; in either case he gets sorry
lot of birds.
Now suppose that instead of com.
hitting the usual folly, the beginner
applies little of that golden specific
that l mentioned above,-common
sense. Instead Of an old shack, sup
pose he provides a good rat-prooi
house, built on plans approved by ex
perienced breeders; then suppose he
looks up some good, reliable breeder

Cattle raising for beef in Argentina,
especially in the temperate zone, is
much more favored industry than in
the United States. The climate makes
1t possible for the entire life of cat
tie to be spent out of doors without
shelter and generally without shade
OF any kind Alfalfa grows most lux
uriantly, and the suitability of very
large acreage for the growth of that
crop and OF other nutritious indig-
enous and introduced legumes and
grasses together with cheap land and
labor, makes 1t possible to produce
beef cheaply. To any one unacquaint-
ed with the possibilities of the coun-
try. the degree OF fairness which the
cattle acquire on grass or alfalfa
alone is marvel. Corn feeding as a
supplement to pasture for beef pro-
duction is extremely rare. Beef-mak-
ing in Argentina at present there
fore is practically strict pasture

Hay Should Not Sunburn.

The feeding value, as we'll as tho
market value, and palatability of hay
is lowered by being sunburned. The
feeding value is probably hurt most by
the loss of leaves. Sunburned clover
and alfalfa lose a large part of the
leaves in handling. and this is the
best part of the crop.
When the sun is shining very bright
ly the alfalfa or grass should not be
left in the swath long. A large part
of the curing should be done in the
windrow and the cock. Most of the
hay is then shaded and so the damag-
ing effect of intense sunshine is re
duced to the exposed portion. And q
stock cover will still further lessen
the injury from the sun as well as
from rain.

SOWING SEEDS TOO DEEPLY
Smaller Vegetables and Flowers Can
Hardly Be Covered Too Lightly
With the Soil.

More seeds are probably killed by
sowing or covering too deeply than
too lightly.
1t is no uncommon thing to find
small seeds covered with a quarter
or over half an inch of soil.
Thousands SO deeply sown perish,
germs either never come to life at all
or are quite unequal to coping with
such a weight of covering earth.
Only the larger seeds of vegetables
should be sown from quarter to one
inch in depth.
Peas, beans and such like seeds may
go underground two or three inches
but the smaller vegetables and flower
seeds can hardly be covered too light
ly, provided they are covered.
1t should always be borne in mind
that deep sowing ruins more seeds
than any other fault or mistake.

PQUHpYNQTES

There is nothing the matter with
the hen that shows a bright eye and
a red comb.
Exercise is a better laying stimu-
liant for the hens han heat-producing
condiments.
Establish, if possible, a brand of
eggs which will in itself be a guar
antee of good quality.
Green food of some kind is neces-
sary to make hens do their best in
the line of egg production.
Eggs ought to weigh pound and a
half to the dozen or fifty-fve pounds
net to the thirty dozen eggs.
1t is poor policy to change the quar-
tiers of hens or pullets while laying.
for it usually checks or stops egg pro-
duction.
Experiments show that chickens
with strong vitality and plenty OF
masculine characteristics make the
largest gains.
The best place for the incubator is
the one where the temperature is
most nearly uniform from day to day
under natural conditions.
Collect the eggs regularly at least
once. better twice. a day in moderate
weather and more frequently in very
warm and very cold weather.
Where green cut bone is fed, about
4 ounces a week fed in small quaint
ties at time is a good average allow

SEVERAL DANGERS
IN BREEDING EWES
Lamb That Is Bred in First Year
Will Remain Stunted-MuCh
Food Is Wasted.

II Is natural that lamb should put
In its FIRST year in growing. both in
height and breadth as well as in vol
ume. The feed consumed should con-
tribute TO this end When the lamb
is bred. much of the nourishment in
tended for itself must go toward the
nourishment of the foetus. For that
reason the development OF the mother
is retarded and. in fact. is never
again resumed to anything like the
degree first seen.
A lamb that is bred in the first
year will remain stunted. Even its
wool will fail to make anything like
normal growth. The first years wool
crop is usually counted on to be the
largest. but 1t is little to boast of II
the lamb is bred. Like tissue. wool
requires feed to promote its growth.
and when the feed has to be used for
other purposes the wool does not
grow.
1t may be argued that heavier feed
ing of the lamb would overcome these
objections. says New York Farmer
but as n matter OF fact there is max
lmum amount of feed that the not
yet fully developed digestive system
Of the lamb cannot handle. and be
yond this amount the food is voided
from the body In an unassimilateo
state, without doing the lamb any
good. Rather will It exhaust the ener
gies OF the lamb still further to han
die this mass of food from which II
cannot derive any benefit
II an unusually fine lamb resulted
from the breeding of young eve
then there might be some reason FOL
sacrificing the growthiness Of thu
mother: but as a matter of fact, quite
the opposite condition holds true II
the majority OF cases. An immature
eve seldom produces sturdy lamb
Her offspring is usually lacking botl
In size and vigor and seldom proves
to be a growthy. prolific animal.
The reasons for this are obvious
