POULTRY RAISING
FOR FARM GIRLS
Let Her Have Entire Care and
Management of Fowls for
Specified Share.
By ANNIE HoFFARrH.)

To the boy on farm is usually
given some property of his own. even
when quite small. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see him given a share In
the crops when he is large enough to
do a mans work. The father fur
nishes tools. team, seed and fertilizer.
and the boy crops with him on the
same terms as his tenant. This is
perfectly proper and as it should be;
but why not give his sister a chance,
also?
There is the flock Of poultry and
buildings; or. If there are no build
ings, there should be some erected
right away. Then turn the poultry
raising over into her hands, letting
her have the entire care and manage
ment of the fowls, for certain speci-
fed share of the profit.
Measure out and set aside SO much
wheat. oats and corn for their feed.
and II you do not think her work
about the house pays for this feed
over and above her board and clothes,
charge 1t up to the flock To give her
fair start, get her a good 100-egg ir-
cubator, and brooder of correspond
ing size. so that she can raise early
chickens.
Any girl of average intelligence can
learn to manipulate a simply con-
structed incubator. or at least / did.
and my machine was the first one
ever saw. am now earning more
money than several OF my girl friends
who are stenographers and clerks in
the city.
Poultry raising is business that
calls for brains, and 1t is a business
that will grow. 1t is not overcrowd-
ed; you are not subjected to the
whims Of ar exacting employer; you
arc not forced to live in third-class
boarding house: there is no car fare
to pay; and best of all. the girl can

The Origin of Our Division Of Time.
Why do we divide the day into
"a hours, the hour into go minutes
and the minute into go seconds?
Professor Max Mueller, Of Oxford,
answers this question thus: We
divide our hours into go units be-
cause in Babylon they had, besides
the decimal system, another arith-
metical method based on the figure
60. The Babylouian merchants, a
practical people, discovered that the
number go presented the largest
number of division, This gave
them the idea of dividing into "a
miles, or into 720 periods, the daily
course of the sun. Each mile, or
hour, was divided in turn into so
minutes. The mile thus corre-
sponded with the distance traversed
by a man in an hour. The "a
miles, or 'parasangs,' of the circle
described by the sun were divided
in turn into 720 periods, or $50
degrees.
This system was introduced into
Greece by Hipparchew in the year
$50 B. C. Ptolomy, who came GEN.
turies later, established in populari-
ty the Babylonian system of divid-
ing time, which has remained abso-
lutely unchanged through the ages"

The Corn Growing Boy"

Brother Wheeler of the Quincy
Journal, sees the hope of the nation
in the corn growing boy" He says:
Boys, grow corn is now estab-
lished as the slogan of the depart
ment of agriculture. The sentence
has taken the place of Horace Gree
ley's famous advice: Young man,
60 West
IN the past five or six years the
department has shown by demon
stration that for young men there
is greater opportunity in producing
the gold OF the corn crop than there
ever was in gathering the gold from
the placer mines of California.
For no 10.year period has the
corn yield of the u tied States ex-
ceeded an average of s bushels per
acre. Not even the most fertile
state has ever produced over 81
bushels per acre. Yet in practical.
ly every section of the country yields
of over 100 bushels are continually
being produced by good farmers.
1T is perfectly obvious, then, that
the corn yield of the United States
can be easily doubled by the spread
of good farming methods. Or. if
such a yield is beyond our needs,
the acreage devoted to corn can be
greatly reduced and the land devot-
ed to other needed crops.
There are untold billions of dol
lars which can be added to the
wealth of the nation by increasing
the corn production. No other line
of activity offers such opportunities.
The hope of the department and
of the country is in the boys. They,
more quickly than men, grasp the
scientific principles underlying the
successful breeding of corn for great
er crops. Youthful enthusiasm
guarantees that the principles once
learned will be applied to actual
corn production with conscientious
ness and perseverance" Hannibal
Journal.

To Avoid Sore Shoulders.

Sore shoulders on horses are in
most cases the result of poorly fit
ting collars. Have your harness
maker fit the collars to the horses.
He may be able to move padding
and in other ways make the collars
over so they will fit nicely. Heavy
collar pads are hot. They keep pad
and shoulder wet with sweat, and
the skin becomes soft and blisters
easily. Dirty collars probably cause
as many sore shoulders as ill.fitting
ones. The ordinary farm hand feels
his duty is done if he scrapes the
dirt from the collar with the back
of his jackknife, and the surface is
left rough A damp sponge used
in the evening as soon as the collar
is taken off will leave it clean. If
this cleaning is followed by a rub
with an oiled rag the collar in the
morning should be soft and smooth.
Careless driving. jerking the horse
out of the furrow and into it again,
or allowing him to work with his
head around on one side, all tend
to produce sore shoulders. If in
spite of careful attention a horses
shoulder becomes injured, do not
wait until a fistula or an abscess
has developed. Seek the advice of
a veterinarian while there is still a
chance to heal the injury. H. E
Hagberg.

The Progress of a Cabbage.

This is the story of the adventure
of a cabbage in New York. Il
casts much illumination upon the
high cost of living The cabbage is
raised by farmer in Connecticut
A comparatively small farmer will
send 1900 to 1000 heads of cabbage
to New York For one head he re-
ceives / 1-2 cents. Then the head
goes to the commission merchant.
He lives on Riverside drive, pays
$2000a year for his apartments and
keeps an automobile, He spends
$1,000 a year to live. Next the cab
bage is sent to the wholesalers.
He lives on West End avenue; he
pays $500 for his apartment and
keeps an automobile His living
expenses are $4,000 per year. He
sends the cabbage to the jobber,
who lives in an apartment which
costs $500 per year, on Broadway:
keeps an automobile and spends
$4,000 per year From him the cab
bage travels to the retailer, who
lives in a $500 apartment on a side
street, has a corner stone, for which
he pays S125 a month rent, keeps
two delivery wagons at a cost of
$40 per month and spends $500
year on his living. Finally the
cabbage gets to the consumer. He
lives in an apartment for which he
pays $40 a month; he rides in the
trolley car or the subway; he spends
all he can make or a little more to
live, and he pays IS cents for that
head of cabbage Ideal Power.
Gold production in Alaska in
1912 was fairly good, and the
steamer Mariposa lately reached
Seattle with $1,000,00O from Cor
dova, which had been belated in
transit from the kitarod district.
For more than 2O0O miles it was
hauled on dog sledses, and at
Chitina was placed in a train which
for more than a month was held
up by snowslides, armed guards
meantime continuously watching
the treasure. -Colman'S Rural
