accidents Manitoba requires hunters
to wear white coat or sweater and
cap. and Saskatchewan insists that
those who hunt big game must wear a
complete outer suit and cap Of white.
The latter province has recently made
the penalty for accidentally shooting a
person a 6ne ranging from $500 TO
1900 or Imprisonment for six months
and suspension Of further license priv
ileees for ten years.
Connecticut has provided that any
hunter who shall injure a fence or

the license privilege for two years.
Connecticut. Pennsylvania and British
Columbia require license applicants
under sixteen years Of age 10 furnish
the written consent Of parent or

Oregon does not permit children under
fourteen years old TO hunt except on
the premises OF their parents, relatives

different-the public is demanding good

Hides that have been infested with
ticks are graded as No. 4. while the

the price Of these two grades Of hides
is 3 cents per pound. The average

Popcorn New Farming Industry.

Sp>S'" WV tUouotFys
The department Of agriculture has
announced an interesting investigation
on the value Of popcorn as a brea kfast
food and states that $3.50 worth Of
raw material can be made to produce
$50 worth of popcorn on o piece Of
land forty feet long by twenty feet
wide.
The department recommends popcorn
rs valuable breakfast food-superior
to many of the market varieties. A
quantity can be grown probably. and
when there Is surplus not wanted
for home consumption II can be dispos
ed Of TO merchants or TO consumers
direct ut a good profit
Different ways In which popcorn can
be prepared as n food are suggested
by the department. some OF which are:
Two teacupfuls OF white sugar. half
cupful OF corn strip. two ounces Of
chocolate and cupful OF water. Put
these ingredients into kettle and
cook them until the strip hardens

the same time improve the soil.
You cannot expect an orchard TO do
It's best without feeding the trees.
Pruning.
February and March is the best
season for going into the old orchard
and pruning IL out so IL may pay
you the profit IL should. Do not go
at the job with an ak, for you will
surely injure the trees. Get good
saw and a pair Of pruning shears
and observe the following five rules
for apple trees:
4. Cut out all dead wood.
2. Cut out all water sprouts.
3. Saw of all limbs close to the
tree so they can heal over.
4. Don't destroy fruit spurs (the
little, crooked. knurly, twigs that
bear apples year after year,
5. Open up the top by cutting out
all limbs that cross and rub each
other, so that the sunlight and air
can get through the tree.
Peach trees should be thinned out
a great deal and the ends OF most
limbs left on should be cut back
about a third Of last years growth.
Work in Timber.
As far as possible every farmer
should plan ahead how many fence
posts, how much lumber and how
much wood he will need until the
middle Of next winter. and get all
that wood cut and corded up TO dry
out. and all other timber needed on
the farm should be in readiness for
next season. Don't destroy good
growing timber for a few cross
ties.)
II all this work is out Of the way
by spring you have the whole sum-
mer to properly plant, cultivate, and
harvest good crops Of corn, cow
peas, rye, oats. sorghum, clover, soy
beans. potatoes. peanuts, melons,
etc. Also to spray the orchard, thin
the apples. peaches, and grapes, and
have good time generally.
Care Of Stock.
Don't neglect your live stock for
anything; for il is through them
you should get your profits for last

A ccoRDING to bulletin just is
~ sued by the office Of public
~ roads of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, coun-
ty roads paved with vitri6ed brisk are
becoming popular In many states, and
owing TO the general satisfaction which
the roads SO paved are giving when
properly constructed 1t is probable that
the use OF brick In road building will
continue to Increase rapidly.
The principal advantages which
roads constructed OF vitrifed brick
possess are:
They are durable under heavy trafic
conditions.
They afford easy traction and good
foothold for horses.
They are easily maintained and kept
clean.
They present a very pleasing ap-
pearance.
On the other hand. the principal dis
advantage is the high first cost. The
defects which frequently result from
lack OF uniformity In the quality Of
the brick or from poor construction
are usually TO he traced to an effort to
reduce the first cost or TO popular
feeling that local material should be
used even when OF inferior quality.
Proper engineering supervision is
emphasized by the department in the
construction OF roads. Many commu-
nities In the past bave expended large
sums In efforts IN Improve public roads
without FIRST having obtained the serv-
Ices Of some one competent to plan
and direct the work The results have
usually been very unsatisfactory. One
Of the mistakes most commonly prac
ticed is the constructing OF some eX-
pensive type OF pavement on road
where the locality is faulty or the
grades are impracticable.
Even In constructing good earth
roads II Is doubtful economy to dis
pense with the services OF a competent
engineer. and II any considerable guam
tity OF work is TO he done such serv-
Ices should certainly be secured. Since
brick pavements are probably more ex-
pensive to construct than any other
type OF pavement at present used on
county roads II is very important that
their construction should be carefully
planned and well executed.

PROFITABLE WORK FOR WINTER.

One OF the secrets OF success on
the farm is TO keep everyone profit
ably employed the year round. As
population increases II becomes
more and more necessary TO Guilt
vate less land and do IL better so
that five acres will produce as much
as ten or fifteen now do. This in
creased production will OF course
require more work. and wise plan
ming will enable most farmers TO
keep prontably employed at home
all the year round so IL will not be
necessary for many TO go of TO pub
lie work in slack times at home, for
there should be no slack times.

concerned for a lifetime.
Winter is the time 10 do ditching

interesting in the way OF dealing with
spies. Miss Harding spoke OF the aw-

ers In Switzerland. She told of the
wagons taking the men TO war and
how the soldiers were drilled TO climb
the Alpine passes. Sometime as
many as twelve thousand were seen
