century later, June II. 1915. the only
difference being that the former was

He has fine success with all of his
brooders. In the fall of 1912 he put
100 chicks into the ~tireless breeders,
and in a little over five months the G15
pullets that matured were laying so
per cent as many eggs. He sold broil-
ers last spring at nine weeks old for s.
per dozen.
OF course part of his success is due
to .iudicious feeding. And Mr.. Woh-
lerS believes that more chickens are
killed by o%verheating and overlooking
than by cold and hunger. AS an in

Disposino Of Dead Hoas.

John Rankin. n Of the most ex-
tensive hog raisers in the world, gives
the following methods Of disposing Of
the carcasses Of dead hogs, a problem
that a whole lot of corn belt farmers
have been up against during the past
few months. His directions are to dig
a shallow ditch, place iron bars across
it, lay the carcass Of the hog on the
bars, pour coal oil on it, drop a lighted
match OF it and 60 about ones work.
The burning oil starts the grease to
dropping. the grease in turn burns
fiercely, with the result that the hog is
reduced to ashes by a fire fed by it
own fat.

Next day I HE'D me to the dealers

half so inclined to sell. A lady had
been there. it seems, a lady Of my owr

full price for the article. Then it was

Whether it is Il Shade or fruit tree n
little juuiciUuS treatment of a cavity
will often save the tree for many
years of usefulness. Whether it be n
branch or the main trunk the treat
nent will be the anne. First all de-
cayed or apparently ~decaying or dis
eased wood should be removed with n
sharp chisel or knife until perfectly
sound heartwood is exposed. Immedi-
ately wash the wound with a solution
Of copper sulphate in the proportion of
one pound of sulphate to five gallons
Of water.
AS soon as this has been done fill the
cavity with a thin mortar made by
mixing part of cement with three
parts Of clean sand. When it has be-
come stiff. but not hard, face it on the
outside with thin cement. using a
trOWel to smooth the cement over all
parts that have become injured. If a
cavity or split should occur near a fork
Of the tree it would he an additional
safeguard to put a long bolt through
both branches so as to hold them to-
gether. When the cement hardens in
a cavity the trunk will be perfectly
solid. and decay will be arrested. =

In a letter written in the year 1903
by President jefferson and lately pub
lished in a biography is the following
paragraph in reference to the i'm
portance Of agriculture. Its sentiments
are most timely now. 10 years later,
and should be carefully considered by
all and, in particular, by young men
fitting themselves for a life career:
The same artificial means that have
been used to produce a competition in
learning may be equally successful in
restoring agriculture to its primary
dignity in the eyes of men. 1t is Il
science Of the very first order. 1t
counts among its landmarks the most
respectable sciences. such as chemistry.
natural philosophy. mechanics. mathe-
MATES generally. natural history and
botany. In every college and uni

and the class of its students might
be honored as the first. Young men
choosing their academical education

sciences. fascinated with it's solid
charms. and at the same time when
they are to choose an occupation. in
stead of crowding the other classes,
would return to the farms of their
fathers. their own, or those of others
and repleniSh and invigorate a calling

to take my wife downtown and let her
pick out anything she wants within
the limit Of my spending capacity. and
then I'm going to let her take me
around and fix me up with a pair of
embroidered suspenders or gold cuff
links or any old thing she likes and
that will make her happy. Neither Of
us has quite got over the effects Of
the last holiday season yet.
You see. we had been married Just
long enough last Christmas to wear
out our first installment Of furniture
and most Of u wedding gifts.
Things were looking a little shabby
that in selecting our little remem-
brances for one another we ought to
confine ourselves to something which
would be mutually useful and attrac-
tive. Both of us had been secretly
longing for a morris chair. one Of those
mission things with big leather cush-
ions that swallow you up in a delirium
Of comfort. Mrs. c. wanted 1t for
the beauty Of the library and her aft
ernoon siestas. and l wanted it for
evening recreation.
"Months before the Christmas sea
son I began putting by a little sum
weekly. with the morris chair in mind.
Two weeks before the 25th I went
down to a dealers to look at chairs. I
had been looking casually for weeks
before. hut it was not until I came
upon this particular shop that l dis
covered what I wanted. It was a
, beauty in the darkest and finest OF
weathered oak. with all attachments
and a pair of fat. greeny brown leath-
err cushions that fairly felt like pipe
dreams. laced with leather strappincs
and tied to the woodwork with thongs.
The minute I saw the chair I knew it
was for me. but the price was rather
staggering. The dealer wanted S93 for
it at first. and when I had got him

We're giving the thing away. I thought
it best to hold out q little. so I merely
requested that he give me a days OPP
ton on the chair and paid a small de-
posit for the privilege.
"Meanwhile my wife had been say
ing every penny. cutting down on the
grocery bill and keeping me on cheap
meats with Christmas in view. 1t
seems that she. too. had a morris chair
on the brain. On the afternoon OF the
same day on which I discovered my
prize she strolled into the same shop.
The first sight of the chair was enough
for her, and she offered to buy it on
the spot. The dealer was inconsolable.
He had sold the chair. he believed: at
least he had given a gentleman ar OPP
ton IN it. and the gentleman had paid
