Have You 4 Little Husband
in Your Home?

In the April American Magazine
James Montgomery Flagg, the we'll
known artist and comic writer.
dose a funny piece in words and
pictures entitled 1.-The Care and
Feeding of Husbands. " He des-
cribes the American business hus
band, the traveling-salesman hus-
band, the English husband, the
continental toy pedigreed husband,
the idle rich husband, and the artist
or writer husband. Following is
a ; extract from what he has to say
about the American business hus-
band:
'"This animal is very popular
and justly so. He comes in a
variety of colors, white, tan, deep
red, notified, brown, and some
times green. The white variety is
generally desired. There is no
animal known that will take the
amount of abuse and neglect that
this one does, and still be devoted
and affect.onate. Hence his pop
ularity. They are limited in in
telligencee, their one thought being
the collecting of money. They
will thrive on almost anything -
scraps at the table, a few hot words,
or anything lying around the room
that comes handy"

CLOSET IS OF NO ADVANTAGE
Actual Test Demonstrates Poultry Do
Better Without Curtaln-Found to
Be Unnecessary.

In the curtain-front typo OF poultry
house used at the Maine experiment
station a feature Of the original plan
on which considerable stress was laid
was the canvas curtain in front Of the
roosts.
This curtain, together with the back
wall of the house and the droppings
board under the roosts formed closet
in which the birds were shut up at
night during cold weather. When the
curtain front house was first devised 1t
was thought essential to provide such
a closet to conserve the body heat Of
the birds during the cold nights when
the temperature might go we'll below
zero: Experience has shown, how
ever, that this was a mistake. Act
ual test shows that the roosting clos
ct is of no advantage, even in such
severe climate as that Of Orono. On
the contrary, the birds certainly thrive
better without the roost curtain than
with It, 1t has been general OBJ
servation among users Of the curtain
front type of house that when the
roost curtains are used the birds are
particularly susceptible to colds. 1t Is
not hard to understand why this
should be so. The air in roosting
closet when 1t is opened In the morn
ing Is plainly bad. The fact that 1t Is
warm in no way offsets physiologically
the evils of it's lack of oxygen and ex-
cess of carbon dioxid, ammoniacal va
pors and other exhalations from the
bodies of the birds.
For some time past 1t has been felt
that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary, If not in fact positive
evil says writer in the Baltimore
American. Consequently the time OF
beginning to close the roost curtain in
the fall has been each year longer de-
layed. Finally, in the fall of 1910, it
was decided not to use tlese curtains
at all during the winter. Consequent
ly they were taken out of the house,
or spiked to the roof, as the case
might be. The winter Of 1901 was
a severe one. On several occasions the
temperature dropped to 80 degrees be-
low zero. Yet during this winter the
mortality was exceptionally low and
the egg production exceptionally high.
In view of this experience the sta
ton has decided to discontinue the
use of the roost curtain. 1t would
seem to be generally understood or at
least unnecessary.

Why Farmers Should Ad-
vertise in the Newspapers

In the current issue of Farm and
Preside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio. J. M.
Taylor writes valuable and in
teresting article telling farmers how
to get to the market with their
good. Mr.. Taylor goes on. as fol-
lows to show how farmers can use
the newspapers,
THE cities are full of people who
want to buy their goods direct; the
country is full of farmers who would
gladly sell direct for the sake of the
additional profits to be gained by
that mode of selling. All that re-
mains is for them 10 get together.
"There is no need of an extensive
advertising campaign. All that is
necessary is a small display adv
ertisement in the newspapers of the
nearest large city. And in writing
the al the farmer should not be
bashful about having his name
seen. Let him advertise Smith s
pototoes, or Smiths cabbages, or
whatever Smith has to sell. Do it
in a manner that will leave the i'm
preston that Smith is proud of his
cabbages, that he knows them to
be up to standard and that he per-
sonally stands back of them. Peo-
pie will more readily buy of a man
when he stamps his name on his
goods in a manner which shows
that he is not afraid to be known
as their sponsor. Furthermore, it
is good business, for if peopl buy
Smiths cabbages this year and find
them good they will clamor for
Smiths cabbages next year and
be satisfied with no others"

The Horse Market

According to the buyers who at
tended March court there were not
as many horses on the market IS
there were at February court, and
the prices were too high for many
sales. The buyers came her" expect
ing to find the best market OF the
year, both in numbers and in range
of choice. But the open weather
that preceded court day, coupled
with the lateness of spring, kept
h lndreds of farmers away and hun
Dire Is of horses off the market.
One of the buyers. a man who
h as been buying horses on the Har-
risonburg market for more than
forty years, stated that he bought
more good horses on the HARRISON
burg market than he had all the
other markets together during bis
career as horse buyer. He said
also, that the Harrisonburg market
gets better every year with respect
to the quality of draft horses it has
to offer.
There is very poor demand fol-
Garage horses, and this buyer stat
ed that when he has bought them
they have eater their heads off be-
fore he could find market. The
automobile has put them out OF
business except with a very few
ultra conservative people. On the
other hand, the demand for draft
horses was never better. and the
automobile has not affected their
popularity. The motor truck
simply takes care of the grown
business and leaves the horse where
he always has been. Commercial
expansion has been so rapid that
the horse and the truck together
scarcely have been able to handlei it.
The Valley will make no mistake
if ii sticks by the draft horses. The
carriage horse is gone, and only the
exceptional saddle horse or hunter
has CHARGE. On the other hand
every craft horse find a ready
buyer when prices are right. There
is no need to fear a slump in the
market on draft horses. and the
more of them the Shenandoah
Valley farmers raise the more mon
ey they will bring to Rockingham

Business Sense In Farming
(By Karl Langenbeok)

Concentration-The farmer is a
wholesale producer like the man.
ufacturer; to succeed In business he
must be guided by his principles.
, A m nufacturer does not try to
run plant that is too large for his
capital or his energies. If he has
one that he finds too big for these,
he rents out part of his building
and his power. He saves his
strength and gains time for better
supervision. He concentrates and
NEST farmers should do the same.
But, few of them feel they can cut
down their acreage. the crops. the
animal and milk yields are none too
big as it is &c.. That is trne, but one
and one-half times the labor now
put on twenty five acres and half
the money value of such labor put
into one chemical that improves
soil, permanently lime. will make
them produce as much as seventy
acres as ordinarily cultivated. In
other words, two-thirds the cost OF
working the present average farm
will get the produce out of one that
is one-t third the size. Less pay for
help, reduced taxes and more en-
ergy to tend stock, repair fences
tools and buildings, will make the
concentration pay.
Use of a Good Name "A we'll
worked farm, no matter how small,
increases a mans reputation and
reputation means credit. Like
everything else, credit improves
with use. 1t is hard for any man
to get his first loan. 1t is easier
after he has paid the first one
promptly. No manufacturer and
no farmer can get along who does
not make and use credit. It's the
bankers business t. find money and
loan it to him to work with. But
in making loans, he sizes up the
man as we'll as the security. He
prefers a tidy productive property
and man with the sense not to
wear himself ont.
Concealed Fertility Even poor
land has much fertility locked up
in it. By working only a sufficient
part, which responds best to work,
and aiding the work chemically
with the fertility developer, lime,
you concentrate your plant" Let
the rest of the land go, rent it or
sellit off. If manure is ir sufficient,
you must make nitrogen and
humus in the soil with the use of
legumes or clover. But, the man
who sows clover seed at $500 to
$1,000 abushel, without lining,
throws away his money. Every
former knows this, or should know
it by now, Dut too few do it. 1t
is useful to help out with phos-
pilates and potash when tillage and
reasonable lining do not develop
enough in the soil for good crop.
But, buying all the crops needs OF
those is extravagant waste. The
man swho makes the excuse that
the season is wet and late, labor
scarce and that there is no time to
spread lime now, but will leave it
for next year, and for this attempts
to improve fertility with useless
fertilizer, gives way to the worst
habit There will be just as many
reasons next year for avoiding the
troublesome" but necessary fob
of lining. The man who feels that
be cannot afford to buy lime or 60
into debt for it, withholds the soil
improver atlasts, that maintains
fertility. A lime debts good debt.
