Bankruptcy Decision.

The supreme court of New Jersey
holds in Bolton VS.. Bolton that when
a wife goes into bankruptcy the trus-
tee in bankruptcy is entitled to take
possession of arrears of alimony due
her for the benefit Of the creditors.
The court said:
when it is considered that during
the period of non-payment the wife
has in all probability been contract
ing debts for her support on the faith
of recovering these payments, and that
alimony is awarded for the express
purpose of her support by paying in
cash as she goes along, and when il
is considered further that by her dis.
charge in bankruptcy these debts are
wiped out, it seems manifestly unjust
that the creditors should have no re-
to the very fund that the d.
vorce court provided to pay them"

PRODUCTION OF GOOD EGGS
portance of Clean, Whole Food
Keep Nests Clean.

Just because an egg is freshly laid
by an apparently healthy hen it car
not be assumed that 1t is a good egg,
according to James G.. Halpin Of the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, who emphasizes the
need of clean, wholesome food for the
production of irst-class eggs. Hens
that are forced to obtain the greater
portion Of their living as scavengers
and given a poor range to work on
cannot produce eggs of as good quality
as can a flock which regularly Is fed
a good ration.
Eggs lacking in protein have a wa
terry white and the shell is apt to be
thin owing to the partial absence Of
lime. Such eggs, besides being of less
value as food, are more than likely to
bring forth puny chickens of low vi,
tality, subject to white diarrhea and
an early death. With proper quanti-
ties of wheat, bran, clover, oyster
shell and sound grains in the ration
fed to laying hens, eggs with firm
shells, rich in protein and ~delicately
favored are sur to result, providing
of course, that the flock Is given clean
nests and runs and Is kept free from
mites.

them as fast as you can. There is
no need having to feed pullets from
eight to ten months, before getting
any returns.
Hasten the growth of young cock
erels, by feeding them all they will
eat. Keep them fat enough for the
table all the time, and they will reach
the required weight for the market
much sooner. 1t is the earlier mar
kets that pay the best prices.
Don't make the mistake of thinking
you can half feed your hens and make
a success of the poultry business. The
wants of the hens body comes first.
If there is any surplus it goes into
the eggs. Where there is no surplus
there are no eggs. 1t is your business
to provide enough food for the body
and the eggs.
If you are keeping hens for egg-pro-
duction only there is no need for keep
ing any males. 1t costs about 81 to
feed each one, and their room might
better be given to that many more
hens.
Turkeys must have free range in
order to do well. Do not keep them
closely confined. II you have fed
them regularly, they will continue to
come up at that time for their feed,
even If allowed TO run free.

LAYING OUT A GARDEN
ERRONEOUS IDEA THAT MUCH
TIME is REQUIRED.
Plot $50 by 100 Feet Will Produce
Enough Fruit and Vegetables for
Family of Six-Run the Rows
North and South.
(By E. PARKER)

- - a
There is an important economical
side to this question of a garden,
Beef, for instance, in its various forms
Is VIGOROUSLY expensive, especially
where it is eaten twice or three times
a day, whereas beans, peas, spinach,
etc, when served witt meat would
make up half the amount eaten, thus
reducing the cash cost of the whole.
And the impression that a vegetable
garden requires much time and care
is such an erroneous one! Two or
three hours a week will suffice for a
garden $50 by 100 feet, which is cap
able of producing fruit and vegetables
enough for a family of six, provided
the rows are three feet apart so that
a horse may be used.
In laying out such a garden the
rows should be run north and south,
for planted thus vegetables receive
the greatest amount of sun. The first
four rows should be six feet apart, and
the first of these might contain twelve
currant and twelve gooseberry bushes
set six feet apart. In the second row
plant a hundred raspberry canes three
feet apart, with two canes at each
place. The third. row will be for
strawberries and will hold $50 plants
grown in hills set one foot apart, no
runners being allowed TO grow. The
e. thirteen rows will be three feet
apart and may be planted to the fol
lowing vegetables in the order given:
Asparagus plants, so one-year seed
lings, set three feet apart in the row;
parsnips, so feet; then a hundred feet
of onions, of which 25 feet may be
young sets for early summer; beets
and lettuce, so feet; early cabbage, a
hundred feet; late cabbage, a hundred
feet; c%aulihower, so feet; peas, three
full rows, corn, four full rows; toma-
toes, a hundred feet; beans, so feet;
okra, ten feet; then so feet more or
string beans and $50 feet of dwarf
lima beans. The remaining four rows
should be eight feet apart to allow the
vines to spread. In the first row
plant % muskmelons six feet apart
then a row of cucumbers set six feet
apart, five elephants and ten early
squash, all six feet apart. The next
row may be planted to eight Hubbard
squash and twelve rhubarb plants, set
six feet apart, and the last two rows
may very properly be given over TO
herbs and flowers for cutting.
1t is frequently forgotten that a
great many people abroad, notably the
drawers Of water and hewers of wood,
live almost entirely on vegetables, con-
sidering meat a luxury only to be an
dulged in once a week, while we in
America, having the most delicious
and greatest variety of vegetables
grown anywhere, discard them for
meat.

NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD
Whitewash Improves Looks Of House
and Is Good Oisinfectant-Givs
Turkeys Free Range.
(By MRS. A. ]. WILDER.)

- 1870 -
Lime is a very good thing to use
about the poultry houses. An occa
sional coat of white-wash on walls
and on the nest boxes greatly inn
proves the looks of the house, besides
being a good disinfectant and vermin
killer.
Pullets Matched in April or the first
of May, make late fall and winter
layers, ard they are the mes that pay.
Hatch all you can of them.
If a sitting hen leaves the nest, do
not throw away the eggs unless they
are cold. If you have another broody
hen, put her on the nest. She will
finish the Matching, and it will save
her just so much time. as we'll as a
ing the eggs.
Give the little chicks skim milk to
drink. 1t is very good for them, as
we'll as for the older fowls. The more
milk your poultry drink, the less meat
it will be necessary to feed them.
Do not keep too many hens in one
flock. Much better results are OBJ
tanned from the smaller fiocks, and 1t
is the results that count.
If you want the pullets to mature
early, and begin laying at five or six
months old, feed them properly and
well from the start. Give them a
properly. balanced ration, and crowd

So the two sons of the employer

So they called the old man into the

all these years they had decided TO
pension him off, but that he could
draw the same wage as he was then
earning.
The old man turned away, but ne
was very much troubled and puzzled
about the matter, and the two sons
