SURELY THE MEANEST THIEF
Old Woman the Victim of Clever De-
vice That Was Employed by
English Rascal.

A sad tale comes from rural dis.
trict in the south of England. A man.
called at the cottage of an old woman.
explaining that he was sent by the
landlord to find out whether any of the
cottages on the property were in need
of repairs, and promising that any re.
quired should be put in hand at once.
The old dame, long having ceased to
expect anything from the landlords
conscience, welcomed this angel visit
or in, and showed him with alacrity
what was wrong with the oven, and
why the back door wouldn't shut prop.
erly, and that the window frames were
quite rotten and dropping to bits
These complaints the inspector
noted down carefully in his book. Then
he inquired whether the floors were
quite safe. This was a point which
had not occurred to the old body, so
the inspector civilly requested her to
60 upstairs and jump as hard as she
could on the floor while he remained
below to tests its stability. When she
had jumped till she was quite out OF
breath without receiving any counter.
mand from below she came wheeling
downstairs to find that the inspector
had gone away-with every portable
thing of value.

MIXTURE FOR TREE WOUNDS
Iarne Limb Cut of, With Stub Left
Unprotected, Furnishes Excellent
Hiding Place for Fungi.

In California the following mixture
was used on trees three years ago
and is still In good condition: One
part of crude petroleum to three
parts of resin; warm in separate
dishes, mix and apply warm to cuts
made by pruning or by cultivator IN
fury. While this mixture Is not bet
ter than grating wax, 1t Is much
cheaper and is worthy OF trial.
If owners of trees would realize
the importance OF keeping the bark
whole and unbroken on their trees
and treat all wounds promptly, they
would save much loss from so-called
wound fungi" which are ever abun-
dant and ready TO take possession
and cause decay. Wounds that should
be treated are of various origin, and
those to the body of the tree are most
important though injuries to large
limbs very often spread downward.
A large limb cut off, with the stub
left unprotected, supplies good
place for these fungi to enter, and
the end OF the life Of the tree Is has
tened by the hollow body resulting
from decaying branches. Branches
are injured at picking time by boot
heels and ladders; winds break
branches; hailstorms and sunscald
rupture the bark, and the bodies OF
the trees are often bruised by wagons
or other farm tools.

FARM :
POULTRY
FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS
Modern Wire Fencing, Which Has
Neat Appearance, Will Keep All
Fowls Out of the Gardens.

The old method of free range need
not necessarily be changed. The
fowls should not, however, be allowed
to run at will within the garden or.
in and about the farm buildings.
Nothing Is more aggravating or dis
gusting than to have the nice veget-
ables or beautiful flowers scratched
up, and the doorsteps, the porch, the
barn floor and the farm machines
fouled with poultry droppings. Sep
arate the poultry also from the other
live stock of the farm.
If the fowls are to be kept near the
farm buildings, provide ample range
Enclosed by modern poultry wire fenc-
ing. The latter requires ordinarily
but few posts, is easily put up and
has a very neat appearance when in
position.
Another way of separating the
fowls from the center of farm opera
lions is to place the henhouses at a
considerable distance from the farm
stead, In pasture where the fowls
will have absolute range. The latter
plan may entail some extra travel by
the poultryman and there is the risk
in some localities of depredations by
foxes, hawks or other wild animals
or by thieves. The young, strong
farmer boy may find advantage in
the second or so-called colony plan"
while the housewife will probably
prefer the fenced Enclosure near the
farmhouse.
Thirdly, the farmer is too careless
in the way he disposes of his poultry
products. He is usually content to
trade his eggs at the nearest grocery
store when by little extra effort he
could gain select private trade
which would pay far better. His
pure-bred stock of one breed of fowls
In their well.kept house and capacious
grassy yards will be great adver-
tisement for his egg products, and
uniform clean appearance Of the eggs
in their attractive package will prove
an additional help in making sales.
Then, too, in disposing of his fowls
the farmer often sells the brGs alive
when by carefully dressing them on
the farm and selling to his customers
on orders he could secure far better
prices.

II Tips Have Increased.

Many of our readers will not know
what the illustration represents until
we explain, says Green's Fruit Grower
The cut Is intended to illustrate and
tell how to propagate the black rasp-
berry.
In July, or as soon as the canes OF
the black raspberry plant are long
enough to bend over and reach the
ground, we bury the tip end of each
cane two to three inches deep In the
soil, cover them with earth and place
stone over the earth to hold the
bent branch in position undetached
from the parent plant. There is no
difficulty in securing from six to ten
plants from the canes Of black rasp-
berry bush as they naturally grow. But
If you will nip off the tip of the young
canes in June and plant, each cane
will make from six to ten canes, and
in this way you can greatly increase
the number of tips to be buried for the

JANUARY WORKING CALENDAR
Insure Fertility by Spring-Clean-
illness of Importance.

Begin trap nest records so that you
may know the individual value OF
each hen on the place.
Start an account with the hens.
Now Is a good time to mate your
breeding pens to insure good fertil
ity by spring.
During Indictment weather keep the
fowls indoors, and if you have pre-
pared scratching-shed or places for
them. you will be surprised how little
difference confinement makes to their
health or product.
Hens compelled to 60 out in the
snow, and hug the corners of build
ings to keep warm, are never profit
able. That is why so many farmers
fowls do not lay in winter.
Perfect cleanliness is especially
necessary during the winter, as the
hens will not thrive if they must in
hale foul air. Clean up the droppings
each day, and thoroughly disinfect the
houses once week.
Keep up the supply of fresh water,
and several times day look after the
vessels to see that the water does
not freeze.
During severe weather 1t Is a good
plan to water several times day,
throwing away the water an hour or
so after given to them. If the houses
are singly built, watering twice day
will be sufficient.
Keep the floors heavily Uttered so
that the hens will be busy the whole
day. A busy hen is always in the best
of health.
At night give more or less liberal
amount of corn especially during very
cold weather, as this will add heat to
their bodies. Corn digests slowly and
so long as there is food in the crop of
the fowl it will not freeze.

macadam roads to a great extent, and
to keep them in a loose and uneven
condition.
The macadam road has been devel-
oped with the object in view Of with
standing the wear of iron-tired horse
the demands of suburban and rural
traffic until the advent Of the auto
mobile. When In its highest state Of
perfection. the rock from which such
a road is made is SO suited to the
volume and character of traffic which
passes over it that only an amount Of
dust is worn off sufficiently to replace
that removed by wind and rain. The
dust remaining should be just enough
to bond the surface stones OF the
road thoroughly, forming a smooth,
impervious she'll A road Of this char
acter wears uniformly under the traffic
for which 1t was designed, and always
presents an even surface.
When such a road is subjected to
automobile traffic. entirely new con-
ditions are brought about. The pow
erful tractive force exerted by the
driving wheels Of automobiles soon
disintegrates the road surface. The
fine dust, which ordinarily acts as
cementing agent, Is thrown into the
air and carried off by wind or is easily
washed off by rains. The pneumatic
rubber tires wear off little or no dust
to replace that removed by natural
agencies The result Is that the stones
composing the road become loose and
rounded giving the greatest resist
ance to traction, and water is allowed
to make Its way freely to the founda
ton of the road.
Many remedies have been suggested
and tried for meeting this new condi-
ton. but a perfectly satisfactory solu-
ton Of the problem Is still to be found
Some success has attended the efforts
of those who have sought to find a
cure for the evil and this Is encourag-
ing when the many difficulties to be
overcome In the treatment of thou
sands of miles of roadway are con-
sidered. 1t Is apparent that this prob
lem can be solved only by the adop-
ton Of one or two general methods.

TUBERCULOSIS IN HOGS
Two Per Cent. of Animals
Slaughtered Are Affected.
Suppression of Disease Would Save
Country Millions of Dollars Annu-
aIly-Principal Causes of In
lection of Swine.

Federal inspections at the abattoirs
of the country show that approx
mately two per cent. of the hogs
slaughtered in them are affected with
tuberculosis, and of those affected
not far from ten per cent. were so
badly diseased that they no longer
possessed any value save their worth
for grease and fertilizer.
The suppression of hog tuberculosis
would save the country millions of
dollars annually, and when it is real
lied that there are vast numbers Of
tuberculosis hogs killed in abattoirs
having no inspection of any kind, it
can be seen that the danger to human
life from this source would at the
same time be removed.
The principal causes from which
hogs become infected with the germs
of this disease are: Cd Returned

three weeks after the first The third
application should be made about
three weeks after the second. The

that SO per cent. of test lot of hogs
