ing birds. Then, having posted him
self as fully as possible by reading
good pigeon literature, let him give
his stock that careful attention indis-
pensable to the well-being of all living
things, and it will not take a very tai
ented prophet to predict result quite
at variance with the one first outlined.
Squads die In the nest or are found
on che floor or do not fatten up prop
erly, when the old birds are not fed
properly. A young squad is not to be
compared with young chick. A very
young chick can run about and help
itself to food and water and the other
necessities Of life; whereas the squad
is utterly helpless at its birth, and is
unable to walk and must be fed in the
nest by the parent bird and with what
ever the parent birds may feed it.
The watchful pigeon man is the one
who gives his flocks the best Of care.
He keeps them in health by noting the
first signs of ailment.

PQDERRYN0TES

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 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 a pound and a
half to the dozen or f1fty-five 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, 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 quanti-
ties at time is a good average allow
ance per hen. 1t need not be fed ev-
cry day.
II taken at a very early age chickens
can be taught to come and go at GER
tain times. to feed In a certain way
and do other things that will save
time and annoyance.

MUCH REsINous WOOD WASTE
Annual Loss In Lumber Industry 70
E. -imated at 100000, ooo-Ail
Can Be Utilized.

The bureau of ch9:istry of the
United States depa.S nent of aericul-
tural has completeS q study OF the
possibility of utilizing more thorough
ly the enormous quantities Of waste
resinous wood produced in the lum-
Der industry. This annual waste Is
estimated at no less than 100000
cords. According TO the bureaus in
vestigations, this can be manufac-
tured into paper pulp. turpentine,
resin oils, pine oils, wood alcohol and
other products worth nearly $780,
100000, or as much low grade paper
and the other products as we are now
manufacturing In the United States.
A cord of wood. which costs from
two to four dollars delivered at the
works, will yield products worth
$4S17. The waste consists of wood
left In the forest from numbering.
dead and fallen timber. stumps OF
cutover lands and slabs and edgings
from the mills.
At present the waste resinousf
woods are used to some extent In
manufacture. Some plants convex
the waste into paper. Others turp
out wood turpentine and pine oils,
In many works rosin oils and rosin
spirits are being made from the resin
Of the live trees. But these first two
industries are just beginning to de-
velop. The investigation of the bu-
reau shows that the three industries
of paper making. wood distillation
and rosin oil production can best be
developed in combination. Their do
velopment will not only open a profit
able field of industry, but should
prove big factor in the conservation
Of our resources. in addition. BY the
utilization of our waste and fallen
timber, the injury to the forests by
fire and insects will be materially re-
duced.
Long-leaf yellow pine. Norway pine.
Douglas FIR and other woods rich In
resins are suitable for this manufac-
ture.

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
a 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 a rubber stamp, using your
initials or the name of your farm, and
in a short time you will have created
a demand for your eggs, and when
you have created such 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.

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 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.

CRUSADE AGAINST
POISON IVY PEST
While Not Fatal in Its Effects 1t
Causes Much Unnecessary
Suffering.

Wage war upon the poison ivy and
Keep at least the home place free from
It, Only the most drastic measures
have any effect upon it.
Teach the children to avoid any sort
of climber that has a three-lobed leaf.
While poison ivy is not fatal in its
effects and many people are immune
from its attacks, it causes much un-
necessary suffering and it often af-
fects and impairs the health.
Start crusade against the pest
among your neighbors and work
against the common enemy. Try to
pass laws to authorize road supervi-
sors and commissioners to see that
their districts are kept clear of 1t.
Dig or pillow it up to the smallest
root and branch, for it is so tenacious
to life that a twig allowed to lie upon
the ground has been known to take
root.
If every root cannot be dug touch
the broken end with crude oil or some
strong acid. A load of fresh manure
dumped upon a clump of poison ivy
in August will finish it.

1t is we'll for the farmer to realize
at outset that the conditions are very
different from what they were thirty
or forty years ago, and that without a
good spraying outfit good fruit can
not reasonably be expected. 1t Is well

sentence, writes E. E. Miller In the
Country Gentleman, for it is very

chimes, as we'll as to the men to whom
they sell.
All this said, not to discourage the
growing of the farm orchard, but
merely to point out some things nee
essary to make 1t a success; and to
show by contrast how easy it is for
the farmer to have a liberal supply of
the small fruits.
1t is poor economy for farmers to
try to get on without home orchard,

The currant worm, gooseberry blight,

damage in the aggregate, but all Of
them are more or less localized,

Return From Use of Manure.

The net return realized from a ton
of yard manure under general farming
conditions depends upon the soil,
method Of cultivation and crops grown.
The Ohio experiment station has OBJ
tanned an increase amounting to s469
per ton from yard manure used at the
rate of eight tons per acre in FIVE
year rotation of corn, oats, wheat, clo-
yer and timothy; four tons being ap-
piled to corn and four tons to wheat,
this return being the average for the
third five-year period; the average re-
turn from yard manure used in all
tests in which rotation is practiced
has been $2,97 per ton for the whole
time.

Hay Should Not Sunburn.

The feeding value, as we'll as the
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 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 a
stock cover will still further lessen
the injury from the sun as well as
from rain.

Do Not Feed MoldY Corn.

Moldy corn will produce blind stag
gers in horses, and 1t should never be
fed to them. Every year there is con-
siderable trouble with this disease
in the west, and in almost every case
the cause Is moldy corn. If this corn
does not produce blind staggers, 1t

ton Of the animal. So don't feed 1t,
