Conducted by VI. w. HICKS

Though the natural Matching season
usually ends before the middle of
June, still many chicks are Matched
out after that date and when they are
given proper care these will usually
do very we'll The idea that summer
Matched chicks sleep themselves TO
death is quite prevalent among poultry
raisers who have never attempted to
rear any summer chicks, or who, hav-
ing attempted it, have neglected to
give them the care essential for sue
cess at this season. But those who
are prepared to manage the late
broods properly will find them no
more trouble than the early broods
and the losses should be no greater.
The main advantage for the farmer
in early matches is for winter layers
and for market as fryers when prices
are at their best. But il will pay to
hatch late chicks for the home table
as they can be disposed Of at any time
after large enough for use. But with
the small breeds Of fowls, it is by no
means true that the pullets Matched in
July will not develop into winter lay
ers. Leghorn pullets have been known
to lay at three months of age; at four
months old, egg production with them
is not uncommon, and at five months
old even the more slowly maturing
individuals will be producing eggs in
paying numbers. So the latter should
be ready for laying before the season
of settled cold weather arrives, if
Matched in July, supposing that win
ter arrives with the first of December,
which is not always the case. Even
with the breeds of medium size, as
Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes, there
is a fair chance of securing well-de-
veloped chickens before the arrival of
real winter weather. OF course, the
large breeds, Brahmas or Cochins,
which require, as rule, seven or
eight months Of growth before egg
production Is begun, cannot be hatch
ed yet this season and developed into
winter layers. For pullets which do
not begin to lay before real winter
weather, will not lay, at least profit
ably, until the approach of spring. But
the farmer who has not already hatch
ed a full quota of chickens of the
small or medium sized breeds need not
hesitate about Matching in July, for
there will be ample time to secure
profitable development.

The Value Of Kindness

The value of kindness to animals
can scarcely be estimated in money,
yet Ii is true that kindness does pay a
decided profit to the stock owner who
knows how to practice ii among his
creatures Any intelligent stock own
er will tell you that the above is true,
says Practical Farmer. We attempt
to prove the truth of our statement
by the intelligent man to convince the
doubling Thomas" that it is a matter
of vital Importance to his success as
stock owner. We appeal to your own
reason, reader. Docility and gentle
ness of the farm animal are worth
considering first, as their usefulness TO
you second. as your ease in handling
them; and third, as the profit they re-
turn to you. Their docility and
gentleness depend largely on your
treatment of them. The more docile
and gentle the horse the more useful
he is to you and the easier you can
handle him. The same is true of the
COW or any other farm animal. The
more useful an animal is to you and
the more easier handled, the greater
the profit is going to be. See!

Abuse of Fertilizers

Hal. c. Fullerton Of the Long Island
experiment farms, in answer TO the
question, Aren't you ever going TO
use fertilizer" discourses as follows
on the use of commercial fertilizers:
BLESS your souls, yes. Didn't | use
fertilizer when / plowed that rye UNI
der? Next fall / am going TO put on
about ten tons to the acre of manure
again, and | am going TO turn under
crimson clover, vetch and rye on every
square foot l can get planted.
Then / shall use lime for sweet
ener, for we now can afford the lime
a little time to work. Next summer
when / am putting in a second and
third crop on the same ground shall
probably use blood and bone meal.
Don't misunderstood me. / think
chemical fertilizers are bully for old,
wornout land, but it would be like
carrying Goals to Newcastle to put
them on virgin soil.
1.-The craze for chemical fertilizer
has gone too far. There are places
where they have put it on so heavy
with the theory that if one ton Is
good two tons will be better) that
they have chemical laboratories, not
farms All chemical fertilizer is lazy
mans way

One on the Lawyer

Philander c. Knox used to tell the
story of a Pennsylvania lawyer, known
throughout the State for his sharp
ness, who once met his match in a
very unexpected quarter.
An old woman was being cross-eX-
amined by him as to how the tesla
tor had looked when he made a re-
mark to her about some relatives.
II don't remember. He's been dead
three years" she answered, testify.
"Do you mean to tell me that your
memory is so bad that you cannot go
back three years? demanded the at
torney.
The witness was silent.
'eDid he look anything like meT'
the lawyer finally ventured.
Seems to me he did have the same
sort of vacant look" responded the
old lady.

White Feathers

Are white feathers in Buff Cochin
Bantams disqualifying? We have an
extra fine trio of these, but their only
fault is a few perfectly white feathers.
O. Il.
A. No, not if you pull them. For
you know that all buff varieties are
subject to have off colored feathers,
such as white and black. These colors
constitute the foundation for Buff, and
perfectly white or black feathers will
crop out sometimes. The tail feath-
ers are subject to a darker shade than
the rest Of the plumage.

tween New York and Philadelphia.
The construction of this famous
road i'm I'LL was an example that led
the energetic colonists at other points
along the Atlantic seaboard TO make
similar roads where there were no wa
ter routes. For the most part these
roads were built by chartered compaA
MES and were called turnpikes or toll
roads. Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
New Jersey had many roads OF this
kind.
The first macadamized road i'm this
country was constructed in 1892 be-
tween Philadelphia and Lancaster In
1911 there were said TO be $500 miles
OF chartered turnpikes in New Eng
land and New York. During the next
twenty years the government expend-
ed many millions of dollars in con
structing great highways, but the pan
ic of 1897 and the building Of rail-
ways and canals put an end to that
branch Of the government work.
