bers of the Mediterranean classes, the
leghorns are non-setters, and l be-
lieve this to be another of their good
qualities. Who wants to bother with

want to run an incubator, buy the
chicks one day old or else have your
own eggs Matched for you.
1.-THE leghorns have yellow bodies
and legs, but are too small to be con-
sidered for market table fowls, but
they are delicious eating just the
same. The meat is especially fine
grained and sweet, and the chicks can
be developed into fine broifers The
older fowls are hard to fatten, but eat
well, though there isn't much meat on
them.
81 have tried several breeds. but
give me these little hustlers every
time. AS result of somewhat ex-
tended observation am satisfied that
as utility bird there is none superior
to the leghorn fowl and that, further
more, for production in large numbers
and as commercial proposition the
result of experience conclusively
proves that the leghorn hen is the best
for eggs, which, after ell is said and
done, is the ultimate end and neces-
sity for success"

NASTURTIUMS FOR BRILLIANCE
Common Little Flower That Always Gives Good Results

ment of seed. Go over the plants regu-
larly and cut off the flowers that have
begun to fade. The plants will keep
on making efforts to perfect seed, and,
as this desire can be accomplished
only by first producing flowers, you
will have a steady succession OF BIOS
SONS.
If these plants are used as Q border
to a large bed, with tall-growing sorts
like the Gamma in the centre, a very
pleasing effect is secured. If the bed
in which you grow them by them
selves is raised in the centre, a finer
effect is given, as then there is a
rounded mass of foliage and flowers.
Experienced gardeners do not advise
using them in combination with other
Towering plants, as there are few
that have depth and richness of color
sufficient to enable them to hold their
own with them. One plant that would
be likely to harmonic with them eff

It's tall stalks of white flowers would
give a contrast sufficient to add to
the charms of both.

FARMERS PLAN FOR

Takes Long Time for Land to
Wear Out" if Properly
Treated.

A farm paper correspondent inter-
viewing a truck farmer, on finding
that the land had been cropped har-
der and harder all the time for thirty
years, asked how the fertility had
been kept up. And" he adds, this
truckers reply might well be pasted
in many a farmers hat
The truckers reply was to the effect
that he was applying manure to the
soil at the rate OF fifteen or twenty
tons to the acre every year. 7 am
fortunate" said he, .'in having sew
eral sources of supply, and get II for
little more than the cost of hauling.
There are many farmers who might
well cast about for a supply Of
manure on these terms. Millions OF
tons of barnyard manure go to waste
about towns and cities every year
which could be hauled out on their
fields with profit by nearby farmers.
But men so situated as to take ed
vantage of such supplies of manure
are exceptional II is no trick at all
to keep up fertility under such cir
cumetances. Anybody can do 1t. II
requires nothing but industry.
The man who takes hold Of a farm,
and so manages that after thirty
years 1t is as fertile as ever in the
absence of such a source Of cheap
manure is the chap who is a real
farmer. The fellow who has no ma
nure save that produced on the farm
is the one who has a job worthy Of
a real mans best efforts. To main-
tain the humus to keep out the nit
rogen, to detect signs of exhaustion
and supply the lack in time by the
use of commercial fertilizer-this i
real farming. Il may be wrong" this
successful trucker is quoted as say
ing, but don't believe you can
wear out soil If you treat it right
Which is just the same thing as say
ing that you can't empty a cistern
as long as you keep it fun. But keep
ing the cistern of fertility fun in the
soil is a much harder thing when nos
cheap supply from other land is axall-
able. than when manure can be OBJ
tanned for about the cost Of hauling

to paste that in their hats.

Every poultry fancier, II he Is

kind Is the best of all. We all know
that the different breeds have certain
advantages and disadvantages. 1t is
the intention in this series of articles
to describe the different breeds In the
words of some enthusiast for each
breed-to let the enthusiasts tell why
they like the particular kind of poul-
try they are raising. This week We'll
hear from the single comb white Leg
horns. What an enthusiastic breeder
of this very popular kind of fowl
thinks of tn m is like this:

she is a lalist, an egg producer,

orally admittedly superior in this re-
spect to any other breed of poultry,
and consequently more profitable
than any other where the market de-
mand for a pure white egg is found
Other breeds of high g-producing
quality there are, but, in the last
analysis, their advocates almost in
variably pay tribute to the Leghorn
egg producing quality by claiming
their favorites to be equal to the Leg
horn in egg-laying capacity.
ct like the single comb white Leg
horns because they are hardy. If put
to it they would thrive in only an
enclosed wind and frost-proof box in
which to roost at night, and have
seen some remarkable results from
fowls whose only roosting place was
trees. Think of that! When they are
given plenty of shed room and
scratching material the white Leg
horns can be kept in larger fiocks
than, think, any other breed. 1t is
not only a hardy and an active breed,
but a good foraging breed. They will
pick up a living where others would
starve to death.

may be, but have had little trouble
in this respect. They are too spunky
and too active to tie down too much.

the contrary is the rule. The more
clay is tramped the more compact
it becomes, adding to its naturally
very compact nature. Then, when
poultry offal and rain are added, In
stead of the filthy water running off
or soaking up quickly, It tends to
stand upon the surface and gradually
dries up, leaving a coating Of filth
upon the ground, which is constantly
being added to until the earth is
turned under by spade or pillow.
Filthy and unsanitary quarters pro-
vide the source of nearly all the evils
in the poultry yard. and the i'm
portance of a naturally healthy foot
ing for the fowls must be realized.
With heay soil the only safe way
to keep the poultry healthy and the
soil clean, as well, Is by frequently
turning the soil under and sowing 1t

Wooden Shoes for Gardening

If you dislike rubbers, and find
damp earth and dewey plants de-
structive to the shoe leather, why
not use in the garden wooden-soled
clogs, such as are worn by workers
in Lighthouses, ice-cream factories and
Their places where the men must
work on wet floors. They have sole
of light wood about two inches thick,
and uppers of stout leather. They are
ideal for early morning or showery-
day wear in, the garden, light, dry
and comfortable, and easily slipped
off on entering the house. Such shoes
are used somewhat extensively in the
large market gardens near New York
city by workers of foreign extraction.
The idea is thoroughly practicable
for suburban gardeners.

How to Determine Acid Soils

Add enough water to half-cup OF
soil to make the consistency of thick
cake batter, and insert blue litmus pa
per, which may be obtained from a
druggist, into it, without touching the
part inserted, with the hands. II,
when you rinse the inserted end, after
an hour or so. it is very much red
dened, the soil very likely needs linn
ing. A pinkish color indicates a great
deal of acid vegetable matter; brick
red, an absence of acid vegetable mat
ter.
AMMONIA water is also used to de-
termine the acidity of soil. Add a
teaspoonful of ammonia water TO a
half-glass of water containing table
spoonful OF soil. If the mixture be-
comes brown or black after standing
for some hours, acid vegetable matter
is probably present.
For most plants, lime is not required
if the test shows only slight acidity.
