PLACE FOR HENS TO SCRATCH
Leaves Make Excellent Material If
Gathered When Perfectly Dry
Dat Straw Is Cheap.

There are a number of different ma
terials which furnish an excellent
place for the hens to scratch in, says
q writer in the Poultry Journal
Leaves are probably the stuff most
used by the small poultrymen. These
are good if gathered when perfectly
dry. They must be put into the pens
every few days, because the poultry
will break them into dust by their
continual scratching. / find oat straw
about as cheap in the long run, be-
cause it lasts quite while and furn-
ishes some feed if, fed before thresh-
ing
Some of my neighbors have tried
feeding buckwheat as a scratching
material and a feed combined Buck
wheat is too fattening and should be
used only occasionally Corn husks
make an excellent scratching material.
Shredded or cut corn fodder does very
well if there is nothing else or hand.
do not like any form of meadow
grass or swale for scratching ma
terial because it mats down too much
when cut and not enough when not
cut.

HoED CROPS IN THE ORCHARD
Practice Results In Severe Damage to
Annual PIantings-How to
Reckon the Distance.

One of the most prolific causes OF
loss of nursery stock after trans
planting, or for several years there
close growing of hoed crops. This
practice, says Rural Life, results in
severe damages to the annual plant
ings The loss amounts possibly to
10 per cent. The too common prac-
tice is to allow no more space be-
tween the tree row and the inter-crop
rows than between two inter-crop
rows, be the inter-crops cabbage,
beans, potatoes or corn. Such dis
tances vary from 80 inches to 81
feet. according to crop used or
planted.
In the first place, the distance
should be reckoned from the expand
ed top of the tree, rather than from
the trunk at base. The outside of top
is a limiting factor, since the allow
ance should be made for leaning OF
the same, or possibly all Of the tree
on the leeward side.
The nearest row to the tree row
should be far enough from the row
to permit the horse in cultivating to
pass freely and without letting har-
ness catch into or come in contact
with branches of tree. 1t will sur
prise those who have never given the
subject much thoughtI the difference
that the lean or incline of q tree
makes, when it deviates from a
plumb or to vertical line. In the
writer's opinion the space between
tree row and the nearest winter-crop
row should not be less than four feet
the year trees are planted, if two
years old, or branched trees are used,
and farther each succeeding year.

pattern, and cut as many like it as

On one END of the arc cut into the
outer end, three-Quarters Of an inch
from the end, a slit half way across

same from the inner edge. Then bend
the strip and lock the Sits together

The soil into which the pot is
plunged must, of course, be kept

the paper can be torn Off, leaving the
ball Of soil undisturbed, and the plant

Many plants cannot stand trans
planting by the usual way, and for
such these little paper pots are found
to be invaluable. Give them trial

tain the best results it is essential
that the animals purchased for the
dairy should be of the strict dairy
type, and be made a permanent part
of the farm live stock. Those who
purchase cows with the intention of
milking them but short time and
then selling them off when the price
Of butter-fat drops or when the ami
NAL goes dry naturally look more for
beef producers rather than milk pro-
ducers. 1t is impossible to build up
good dairy herd by this method
Dual-purpose animals may be used
in some localities to good advantage,
but to get the best results one of the
special dairy breeds should be used.
This does not mean that only thor
oughbred animals should be used, but
animals that are bred for milk pro-
duction. A good dairy COW should
produce enough butter-fat in her best
days that the value of the beef may
be of secondary Importance. if not
entirely ignored
A person purchasing an implement
considers first how much service he
can get out of it and not its value
as scrap iron when worn out. Those
who purchase dairy COW should con-
slider how much butter-fat she will
produce and not the value of her hide
and carcass.

Sailing cabbaqes-

For several years have raised cab
bages and found it advantageous,
after setting out the plant, to drop
a little salt on the heart of the cab
bage, says writer in the Fruit Grow
er. When the salt is dissolved by
rain, or some other agent, it should be
renewed, and the process continued
until all danger from cabbage worms
is past.
cabbage treated in this way will
grow much larger, and when the
head is cut open it will not be found
honeycombed with wormholes.

It is not difficult to find men, even

dairying pays. They have tried it and
failed Some have purchased good
stock, but poor management or false
economy in housing or feeding pre-

Hodge Opens New Play,
The Road to Happiness

PLAINFIELD, y. J., Feb. 23.-Wil-
liam T. Hodge now under the personal
direction of Lee Shubert opened at the
Plainfield Theater here last night in a
new play called The Road to Happi-
piness," by Lawrence Whitman, hitherto
an unknown playwright The scenes of
the play are laid in a village of north
ern New York, and the story involves
many types of characters common to
small communities.
The role assumed by Mr.. Hodge,
known as Jim Whitman, is very similar
Man From Home" The character is
first introduced as a country boy whose
only asset is a cheerful belief in himself
and an unyielding faith in the triumph
of truth. How Jim loves the daughter
of the village magnate, how the father
plots TO force her into marriage with the
banker. how q conspiracy is formed to
rid the town of Jim sby giving him
coat of tar and feathers and how Jim
turns the tables on his enemies and
brings them, in the end, to recognize his
true nature, are the elements to the
story in which heart interest, humor,
honiely philosophy and stirring incidents
arc interestingly mingled.
An ella borate production has been pro-
vided and the individual members of
the company have been well chosen 10
emphasize every point in the comedy.
Mr.. Hodge is especially well fitted. and
there Is every indication that hs will
meet conspicuous success with his !iaw
play. a road tour covering the entire
spring has been planned by Mr. Shubert,
and il is likely that Mr. Hodge will not
be seen in New York till next season.
