He Is not expected to know the dnner life of every man he comes in contact with. He is pleasant. jolly, good 1ellow, that's all he knows Of him. What does he know, nor is he expected to know. what his faults or habits may be, whether he has one sweetheart OF score Of them; if he's a man to be trusted or Is one who had best be let alone?
 Under such circumstances. a. man with glib tongue can ingratiate him. self into the good graces of many a thohghtIess girl. As he has been prop ezay presented to her through an in- troducttoTl, she fmagines that it is quite the correct thing to invite him

American strains of Light Brahmas
and Leghorns.
The Brahmas belong to the Asiatic
class as breed, but the Light Brah-
ma, as bred by our people, is SO diff
ferent from that bred in England, that
one would hardly suppose them to be
OF the same family. This is also true
of the Leghorns, which belong to the
Mediterranean class.

GETTING THE WINTER EGGS
Laying Hens Must Have Comfortable
House, Plenty Of Room and Sum-
light and Ample Ventilation.

With eggs now close to so cents a
dozen, it stands US in hand to plan
our management so that our flock will
do its best for the next few months.
1t is surprising what good care and
intelligent feeding will do in produc-
ing winter eggs, and on the other
hand no branch of farming will show
quicker losses than poor feeding and
management of the winter layers.
Winter layers must have a comfort
able house, plenty OF room, plenty of
sunlight and ample ventilation. Too
much care cannot be given to provid-
ing good ventilation. Cold draughts
will check the egg production and
prove detrimental to the health of the
flock.
With a good, clean and dry house
and plenty of egg-making foods. we
shall get eggs. On farms where we
can feed a variety OF grain foods
and a mash once a day composed Of
cut clover or alfalfa steamed or mixed
with bran cornmeal and green cut
bone. egg production is simple mat
ter. Feed a tempting variety Of grain
foods and meat foods. keep pure wa
ter before them and keep the floors
SO clean that any part may be used
for a scratching floor and you may
rest assured that you have done your
part toward securing winter eggs.
Charred corn is an excellent cor
rector of Indigestion. Lay few ears
In the oven once or twice a week and
bake until they are burnt.
Tame your fowls and give them rea-
son TO have faith in you. To have
them nearly scared to death every
time you come near is not only in
convenient but Is poor way to have
them thrive.

BEANS ARE PROFITABLE CROP
tiveness to Grow Any Kind of
Crop-Good i'm Rotation.

The old-fashioned saying that land
is too poor to grow good crop of
white beans has been the cause of
many farmers giving up bean growing.
1t is a mistake to imagine any soil
will grow good crop Of beans or
anything else unless it is in a good
state of productiveness.
From our own experience We are
convinced that beans are one Of the
best cash or market crops that a
farmer can grow for they are cash
crop that will always bring fair
price and find ready sale in all Sec
lions of the country.
They are an easy crop on the soil
and beans, wheat and clover and make
one of the best and most profitable
rotations than can be planned out on
any farm. especially where a limited
amount OF manure is available.

BILE with such feeds as corn fodder
and oat straw.
Alfalfa hay-This roughage belongt
to the general class known az le-
gumes and Is considered the peer OF
rough feed for dairy COWS. 1t carries
10.5 per cent. protein and ninetenths
OF one per cent. fat II Is extremely
palatable and. so long as 1t may be
purchased for SIS or less ton, IL Will
supply food nutrients for the purpose
of milk production as economically
as through the use of grain.
Red clover hay-Red clover belongs
TO the same class as alfalfa and, in
the main, is as valuable feed. Its
palatability Is not quite equal TO that
of alfalfa and it carries only IL per
cent. protein and Is per cent. fat. As
feed for dairy COWS, IL should DO
purchased at about $3.50 or $500 less
per ton than alfalfa.
Soy bean hay-Soy bean hay will
analyze almost equal TO that of alfal-
IA. However, 1t is not equal from the
standpoint of feed. The chief diff
ficulty is due to the fact that soy bean
hay is rather unpalatable and difficult
to harvest
In feeding any rough feed to dairy
COWS. they should be supplied all they
will consume without waste. When
silage is used. II or IA pounds OF dry
roughage will represent the maximum
amount consumed by the average cow
II they must depend entirely upon dry
roughage for the fibrous part Of their
ration, they might consume as high as
fifteen or eighteen pounds per day.
AS a general proposition, it is possible
to supply a dairy COW with one-third
OF her roughage made up OF cheaper
feed, such as oat straw and corn stow
er, the other two-thirds being made up
of high class roughage, such as al
falfa or clover

About so years ago, when poultry

MAKE HENS WORK FOR FOOD
So Fowls Will Have to Exercise
Themselves to Get Il.

Hens, like hobos, ought to be made
TO work for their food, according to
N z. Chapman, poultry expert at the
Minnesota College Of Agriculture Mr.
Chapman believes the failure TO make
hens work Is one of the principal rea
sons why eggs are scarce now. An
other reason they do not lay, he said,
is because they are often SO housed
that they have cold feet.
There ought to be lots OF straw and
litter in the chicken house." said Mr.
Chapman. THE grain ought to be
thrown into the litter SC the hens will
have to scratch for it. The exercise
is good for them. 1t will keep them
warm and healthy. Pullets rightly
cared for ought to be averaging q
dozen eggs a month now. They will
begin TO lay before they get their
full growth IL they are given the right
care. They should supply the eggs
while the old hens are melting. Dur
ing November, December anil January,
old hens will not lay many eggs. They
will hardly average an egg a month :"
Corn meal. shorts, ground oats, oil
meal. beef scraps, skim milk. green
food, clover. alfalfa, grit shells and
charcoal are recommended by Mr..
Chapman as the best food for chick
ems this time OF year
Reports OF a scarcity of eggs are
prevalent all over the country, Mr.
Chapman said. He believes the price
Will be unusually high before midwin-
ter The number OF eggs In cold stor.
age. he said. has been attributed to the
warm weather during the summer in
the southern states, resulting in the
production OF eggs that were OF poor
quality FOR storing.
