TIMELY POULTRY NOTES.

Cabbages, beetS and mangels make
ideal green's for hens during the win
ter. Small potatoes and specked ap-
pies are also relshed, particularly
when the fowls are confined to their
indoor quarters.
To keep the hens healthy provide a
dry floor, plenty Of dry litter, plenty
of dry air and no draft; keep the
house clean, feed well, water regular
ly and provide a constant supply Of
artificial grit. oyster shells, cracked
bone and charcoal.
Hens should be busted with insect
powder occasionally, but the presence
of Il good dust bath will make these
necessary occasions far fewer. Mix
about one pound Of powdered sulphur
with each bushel Of dust for the best
results. \. c. Smith, Poultryman,

FLOUR MILL ON FARM.
How One North Dakota Man Gets
Greatest Return From Crops.

\ North DakOtan realizes the maxi
mum returns from his wheat and rye
crops by converting these grains into
dour which he sells at 50 Il hundred
pounds. III his locality it was practi-
cally impossible to obtain good rye.

farmer started growing and grinding
his own grain. As he became prof
cient the quality Of the flour improved
until finally his neighbOrs were aunu-
ally demanding his surplus at hand
some prices. This Keen demand for
high quality -four increased until he
decided that it would pay him to equip

turc mill with Il ClushCT, Il grinder. Il
cleaner and al elevator. The income
from his -four business during the first
two years paid for his plant and equip
ilent and yielded him a good net profit
This miller eliminates all the charges
that uS'.d.Iy 20 to the middle man. He
annually raises about eighty acres of
wheat and thirty-fye acres of rye.
Some Of this grain be sells as Il cash
crop on account Of Inadequate bin

than half Of the crop is converted into
-four to be used for human food.
A gasoline engine is also maintained
as a reserve source Of power in case
the water power should give out. The
marketable -four is neatly sacked and
sells for So a hundred pounds. An
nually the rye and wheat have a
farm value of about GO and 80 cents
a bushel respectively where they are
sold as cash crops. At a slight eX
pense as regards time and labor this
Shrewd farmer converts his raw wheat
and rye-that in the bulk are worth ap-
proximately $101 and S1.10 IA hundred
pounds-intO excellent -four that sells
for So a hundred pounds.
Yearly this progressive farmer is
gaining an attractive income from his
milling operations, since he also grindS
grain for his neighbors. This labor in
nowise interferes with his farm work,
as the greater share of the mill work
is done during the period when field
work Is relatively slack.-Country Gen

PloMino In Winter.

There is a diversity of opinion as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of blowing in winter.
1t is generally conceded, however,
that sod lands should be plowed in the
winter season. The freezing and thaw-
ing of the soil put it in much better
condition than it can be put by the
plow and harrow after the spring has
opened.
Winter blowing also destroys many
insects that would damage crops if
they were allowed to live.
There will be much more moisture
laid up in the soil and saved for the
use of the growing crop the next year
If the blowing is done during the win
ter season than there would be if it
were left until spring.
The capillary connection with the
subsoil will have time to be renewed If
the blowing is done early.

Game Laws of Maryland.

The acts of 1914 provide state game
season, which is the first uniform
season law the state of Maryland has
ever had. This act repeats all other
avs providing or prescribing seasons
for game animals. and it will, therefore,
be understood that all seasons prescribe
ed by county or local laws, which con-
flict with the SAID act, are null and
void. Following is the State wide law:
1t is unlawful to fish with anything
other than rod, line and single hook
Any kind of artificial bait must have
one hook only. Dip net season is open
only from February 18th to April 18th,
and one-inch mesh is required. (The
law does not make any provisions to
catch bait with metz No person shall
catch or in any manner take or kill at
any time less than the following sizes:
Rock or striped bass, 10 inch; tailor or
black bass. 8 inch; white or yellow
perch, inch; pike, IA inch; white cat
fish, inch. Any person fishing with
hook and line must return to the water
any understood fish.
For all game fish the season closes
from April LIST to June 18th in main
river and tributaries. Dynamite and
other explosives are not to be used in
the water, nor can lime, poison, acid,
sawdust, shavings or other substances
deleterious to fish be put in or near
streams.

Potash Scarcity Need
Not Alarm Farmer
Liberal Use OF Lime Will Fee Enough
Soil Potash 70 Supply average
Farm CroPs, Such As Corn
And Wheat
H. J. PATTERSON.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The supply Of potash for our fer
war and since We depend largely on
Germany for this material, It will
probably be sometime before it viii
be again available While much Of
the potash io2 the fall trade has been
shipped or T. in this country, the fact
that there IS 10 more in sight Will
cause this supply to be used spar
insly and at an advanced price.
This scarcity, however, need not Sc
riously concern the average Maryland
farmer, particularly, the grower Of
corn and wheat Most of our soils
contain a plentiful supply of potash,
which can be made available for the
coming wheat crop il liberal APP
plication Of lime is used; since lime
beside sweetening sour soils and lib
Grating nitrogen from organic matter
also makes the unavailable potash
compounds in the soil available for
the use of the crop.
Experiments carried on at the State
Experiment Station through q series
of years have proven that the use of
lime answers the same purpose as the
application Of fertilizers containing
potash. but only so long as there is
plenty of potash in the soil. Since
we find most Maryland soils rich in
potash we need not be concerned
that lining will exhaust the supply
for some time to como.
Bearing this fact in mind, growers
are advised to dispense with fertilizer
mixtures containing potash If the ad.
vance in price is due TO the rise in
the cost of potash. For his wheat and
corn, the grower cannot afford to pay
much more for his potash supply than
he has in the past. In some sections,
where tobacco stems and stalks can be
secured, they may be used to supply
potash as they contain a considerable
amount The chances are, however,
that the supply will soon be exhausted
under present conditions, and for the
average farmer looking for a cheap
source of potash for his wheat crop, no
better method can be followed than
lining his field before seeding.

Many poultry raisers are too much
afraid their chickens will not be warm
enough. When the air gets a bit
chilly they close all the doors and
pull down the windows to keep the
heat in. It's ali well enough to keep
the house as warm as possible, but
when you attempt to get it warm by
closing it up, you introduce a factor
which is many times more detrimen,
al to the birds. Fowls can't stand
dampness any moro tnan you can, and
when you bottle up" a lot of them
in a close room the moisture they
breathe out soon fills the air and
causes a damp. disagreeable house:
one that induces colds, roup, rheuma

 And so they got into car and were whirled away into pretty suburb The woman, whose name was Mrs Hart. lived in a common little house

Mother, I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that Judge Blackwell has made me a most generous orer or business relations, and that l have de- cides to accept it."
 Amid the exclamations Of delight over this bit of news, the hat was forgotten for a time, and when the mother and sister finally reverted to IL and began to discuss how 1t could have gotten on the closet shelf, he broke in upon their questions with suggestion.
 "I should advise Mother. that you make a thorough search for your ram coat l am sure now that you must have overlooked it. Such things often happen. We were so excited the morning Corneia missed the hat that I suppose no one looked thoroughly
 But that Is impossible, Tryon, said his mother, with dignity T had that closet searched most carefully"
 Nevertheless, Mother, please me by looking again. That closet Is dark, and I would suggest light.
 He beat a hasty retreat. for he did not care to be present at the finding of the rain-coat.
 There Is something strange about this" said Mrs. Dunham. as with ruff fled dignity she emerged from the hall closet. holding her lost rain-coat at arms length. "You don't suppose your brother could be playing some kind of a joke on us, do you, Cornie? l never did understand jokes"
 "Of course not" said practical Cor nelia, with a sniff. It's my opinion that Norah knows all about the mat ter, and Tryon has been helping her out with a few suggestions
 Now, Cornelia what do you mean by that? You surely don't suppose your brother would try to deceive us his mother and sister,"
