good pigeon literature, let him give
his stock that careful attention indis-

at variance with the one first outlined.
Squads die in the nest or are found
on the 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 squah
is utterly helpless at its BIRTH and Il
unable to walk and must be fed il the
nest by the parent bird and with what
ever the parent birds may feed it.

Save muscle and time when cutting

Plant radishes remote from the
track infested by the wire-worm last

When short of room. train squash
vines on trellises or wire fence; they
are good slimbers.
Plant cucumbers in level rows; in
dry seasons they do better than when
grown in elevated beds.
Onions, beets, spinach, radishes and
lettuce may be sown as soon as the
ground can be worked easily.
Lettuce should not be where the
soil Is too dry or light. Parsley Will
stand such soil little better.

Practice Results In Severe Damage to
Annual Plantngs-How to
Reckon the Distance.

One of the most prolific causes OF
loss of nursery stock after trans
planting, or for several years there
after is this common practice of too
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 3As
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 thought, the difference
that the lean or incline Of tree
makes, when 1t 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.

.ERRvRs OF BEGINNER
ss5erse1t of Common Sense Often

Practically all beginners are nonest
In their belief in the business, Dut II
seems at times that the simple ele'

lacking in the majority of cases-per-

common after all, writes W. b. Inom'

Having blundered IN his lnltlal
move, he now proceeds to the crown
ing folly of which he can be guilty
he buys cheap stock because 1t IS
cheap. He is either victimized by the
proverbially constituencies dealer, or
he takes the stock of some fellow VINO
has already demonstrated himself a
failure; in either case he gets sorry

Now suppose that instead Of COM
hitting the usual folly, the beginner
applies little of that golden SPECIFIC
that I mentioned above,-common
sense. Instead Of an old shack, sup
pose he provides a good rat-proof
house, built on plans approved by ex-
perienced breeders; then suppose he
looks up some good, reliable breeder

There is no special method that
need be followed in raising bull calf.
Bad ventilation in the cow stable Is
responsible for many diseased cattle.
1t is every dairyman's business to
ask each COW what she does with her
feed.
Do not hurry the COWS in moving
them about the place or to and from
the barn.
1t is better to grow beets, common
ly known as mangels, rather than car
rots for cows.
The Babcock test for a cows pro-
duction is often an acid test of her
owners gumption.
No feed returns as much profit as
that which puts a cow in good condi-
ton just before calving time.
If your cows are not paying for
their feed hold a little examination
end see If you are to blame.
Repeated groupings of corn have a
tendency to wear the land Better
rotate and use some grass crop.
Calf raising Is necessity on every
dairy farm. 1t Is the only economical
and safe method of keeping herd.

plants). Use one of these parts as a
p2t,oin, and cut as many like it as
you want.
On one end of the arc cut into the
outer end, three-quarters of an inch
from the end, slit half way across
the paper; on the other end cut the
same from the inner edge. Then bend
the strip and lock the Sits together
to hold each other as fastenings to the
pot.
The little paper pot will be bottom
less and will have set in sand or soil,
whichever is to be used as ground to
grow the things in, and filled as any
pot, putting the seed, cutting or plant
it in the usual way.
The soil into which the pot is
plunged must, of course, be kept
moist. When the plant is ready to be
shifted to a larger, or transplanted.
the paper can be torn off, leaving the
ball of soil undisturbed, and the plant
will feel no shock of removal.
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.

A sick hen is never paying invest
ment.
Dry coops are cheaper than sick
chicks.
For the egg eating habit try darken-
ing the nests.
Little and often is a good feeding
rule for chicks.
Poultry success depends more on
condition than on breed.
Crossing breeds is step backward
in the chicken business.
If chickens are worth raising at all
they are worth raising we'll.
It is better to cut chickens head
off than to let him eat it off.
Sell. kill or confne all male birds
when the Matching season is over.
Overheating is responsible for more
incubator troubles than undertaking.
Disinfecting the incubator between
matches is a precaution worth taking
Feed the little chicks what they
need, not what you happen to have
on hand.
Don't forget to have a row Of sum
flowers; the seeds are excellent for
poultry.
Remember that water glass solution
will keep this summers eggs until
they double in price.
A half pint Of carbonic acid in two
gallons of water makes a good disin.
fectant for any purpose.
Removing the cause Of disease, Is
more satisfactory all around than doc
toring the chicken afterward.

Roost for Chickens.
SUMNER RATION FOR HORSES
Good Combination Is Corn, Bran and
Little Oilmeal-More Carbohy-
drates and Less Protein.

If corn must be fed to the horses,
grinding it will not pay, unless the
horses have poor teeth, in which case
it might be advisable. Feeding the
ear or shelled corn would be the more
desirable method Of feeding.
s. Crushed corn and cobmeal Is not as
good because of the cost of crushing,
and the amount of food value secured
from the cob is so small that 1t does
not make up for the energy required
to digest so much crude fiber.
A combination of corn, bran and a
little oilmeal make a good summer
ration for horses. Feeding a LOCO
pound horse about ten pounds Of corn
and three pounds of bran per day
would be equivalent to fourteen
pounds of oats, although it contain
a little more carbohydrates and less
protein, thus making little wider
ration. A small amount Of oilmeal
would Offset this, however.

Hay Should Not Sunburn.

The feeding value, as well az tbs
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 80 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.

OAT SMUT CAUSED BIG LOSS
Subject Gaining Importance Because
Farmers Failed to Use Simple
Formain Treatment.

Dat smut, which was practically
eradicated from the state by the cam
paign carried on by the agronomy de-
partment Of the College of Agriculture
of the University Of Wisconsin, Is
again assuming Importance, through
the failure Of many farmers to use the
simple formalin treatment to prevent
the disease. The fact that oat smut
caused serious losses last summer IN
some fields in the state should con-
vince farmers that safety lies only
in the treating of their seed oats.
One pint of formalin, or formalde-
hyde, which may be obtained at any
drug store, will treat thirty bushels
of oats. This solution should be made
by using one pint of formalin to thir-
ty-six gallons Of water in tank or
barrels. The oats should then be put
in gunny sacks, filed only two-thirds
full, and submerged in the formalin,
for only ten minutes.
When the sacks Of oats are with
drawn from the barrels or tank they
should be allowed to drain, thereby
saving considerable solution that
would otherwise be wasted. The oats
are then emptied on a threshing
floor, and covered with blankets an
hour or two, so as to make the treat
ment more effective. After this the
oats are allowed to dry. Oats treated
with the formalin solution will usual
ly dry sufficiently for sowing in one
or two days. After treatment tho
oats swell considerably, and 1t IS
necessary for the seeder or drill to
be set SO that it will SOW about one
bushel more per acre.
Oats can be treated effectively sew
eral weeks or months previous to
sowing if desired, and if pToperly
dried the terminating power will not
suffer. For the average farmer just
previous to sowing will prove most
convenient.

The best place for the incubator is
the one where the temperature is
most nearly uniform from day to day,
under natural conditions.

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 quaint
ties at time is good average allow
ance per hen. 1t need not be fed ev-
cry day.
If 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.
