Dear Mrs. Thompson: read a
very funny story in one of the mag
azines about a girl who wore her
hair loose and fluffy and who put her
hand in mems pockets because she
knew they liked it, One night I
asked boy who was calling on me
if he had read the story, and he had.
A few nights ago when he came to see
me again my brother-in-law said:
you don't know what / saved you,
young man This sister of mine had
hire hair combed in the most dreadful
way and made her comb it over"
said that it wasn't dreadful-that
| it was just loose and fluffy like the
girls hair in the magazine story Then
the boy said to my brother-in-l
| She put her hand in my pocket,
too"
! My brother-in-law had read the
story and he knew what the boy was
talking about. really didn't put
my hand in his pocket, but my
brother-in-law will never believe me.
He told mother and sister and they
said they thought it was perfectly
terrible Of me to do such a thing.
They keep bringing up the subject
and make me feel terrible What
can I do to prove 10 them that
didn't put my hand in his pocket. l
AM only II and know that is too
young to do such thing.
/ BETTY ELEANOR.
/ Your family is only trying to tease
you and so when they bring up the
! subject don't appear to be annoyed
/ Just smile as though you really had
put your hand in the boys pocket
don't believe they win tease you
long after they see that it doesn't
bother you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / used to
like boy very much, but he did not
like me. He was tall and cookbook
ing and extremely eonceited. All the
girls liked him and he went with
practically all of them at one time
or another. He came to see me and
treated me horribly. He would make
date and then not show up, and /
was foolish enough to put I'D with
1t because | thought l liked him so
much. This happened about four
years ago. A year ago the boy
moved to another town. I have just
received a Christmas letter from him
and none of the other girls l know
did, although he went with them as
much as he did me / don't believe
ne ever got over the idea that I was
/ in love with him, although stopped
liking him long before he left town.
/ am not corresponding with anyone

or buttermilk is excellent for poultry.
Green feeds, such as cabbages, man.
gel beets, alfalfa or clover, should be
added to these rations when grass Is
not available.
Young chickens should be fed from
three to five times daily, depending
upon ones experience in feeding.
Great care must be taken not to over
feed. After they are thirty-six to for
ty-eight hours old, they may be fed.
The first feed may contain hard
boiled eggs, johnnycake Zone dozen
infertile eggs to ten pounds Of corn
meal; add enough milk to make a
pasty mass and one tablespoonful of
baking soda), stale bread; pinhead
oatmeal, or rolled oats. Dry bread
crumbs or rolled oats may be mixed
with hard-boiled eggs, making about
one-fourth Of the mixture egg. Feed
the bread crumbs, rolled oats, or
johnnycake mixtures five times daily
for the first week, then gradually sub

Running streams of water are very
satisfactory when they originate on
the farm, but If they travel long dis
tances and through several farms AID
across public roads, they are very
likely to be contaminated and may
spread diseases such as anthrax, and
hog cholera. Keeping hogs healthy is
much more important than trying TO

PLANT TREES WITH DYNAMITE:
Excellent ResuIts Secured at Two NeW
g. Jersey, Experiment stations-cost
ls Little More. e

With peach trees planted at the
Vineland substation Of the New Jer-
sey experiment station, the average
growth Of the dynamited trees the
first season was 794 inches, as COM
pared with an average growth Of 655
inches for trees planted in the ordinary
way. In all cases the ground was
thoroughly plowed before planting.
In another test in the same orchard
there was a difference ranging from
652 inches, or over flfty-four feet, OF
growth to 1897 inches, or over 116 feet
of growth per tree In favor Of dyna-
hitting. Similar results were obtained
with peaches at New Brunswick,
whereas the apple trees showed prac'.
tically no difference in the amount OF
growth between the trees planted with
dynamite and those planted in the or
binary way. In all the tests made the
percentage Of trees living through the
first season was practically the same
under both methods Of planting.
The cost of planting was about five
cents greater per tree for the dyna.
mited trees. Although no conclusions
are drawn from the first years work,
the opinion is expressed that the use
of dynamite for planting fruit trees ts
worthy Of a thorough trial.

cracked corn, and pinhead oatmeal or
hulled oats, to which about five per
cent of cracked peas or broken rice
and two per cent of charcoal, millet,
or rape seed may be added. A COM
mercial chick feed may be substituted
If desired. The above ration can be
fed until the chicks are two weeks
old, when they should be placed on
grain and a dry or wet mash mixture.
Washes mixed with milk are of consid.
cradle value in giving the chickens a
good start in life, but the mixtures
should be fed in crumbly mass and
not in a sloppy condition.
AS soon as the chickens will eat
whole wheat, cracked corn, and other
grains, the small-sized chick feed can
be eliminated. In addition to the
above feeds the chickens growth can
be hastened if they are given sour milk,
skim milk or buttermilk todrink- Grow
ing chickens kept on range may be
given all their feed in hopper, using
as grain mixture two parts by
weight of cracked corn and one part
Of wheat, and for mash mixture any

To be successful hog raiser one
must keep his stock under the very
best environment possible. Do not
think any old thing or place Is good
enough for a, hog. He should have
access to good clean water to drink
at all times, and not stale pond water
or mud wallows. Clean, pure water
will do more toward keeping hogs
healthy than any other one thing.
The hog has peculiar skin, and under
the skin is thick pad of fat, so that
he must get rid Of his heat mostly
from, his lungs by breathing. In hot
weather he needs some cool place to
lie in, and If he can find mud he wal
lows in it. He prefers good, clean wa
ter, but If he cannot find that, mud is
the best substitute. Shade is very es-
sential in warm weather: r.
Buildings for hogs need not be very
expensive. We advise colony houses
Of the A shape, with both sides open
with hinges on the top. This type of
house furnishes shade, ventilation, and
sunlight in summer and when closed,
a very comfortable farrowing pen in
winter These houses are erected on
skids and can be moved from place to
place with a pair Of horses or mules.
They are so constructed that they are
ideal farrowing pens. A sow about to
farrow can be placed in lot In which
Is one OF these colony houses, and she
will make her nest in the house If
some hay or straw is placed there.
Tenders should be arranged around
the sides of the house 80 that the SOW
will not be able to lie close to the
sides and In that way crush the young
pigs In the nest.
These colony houses can also be
used for the boars and growing pigs,
although some prefer permanent quar-
ters for the boar and those pigs In
tended for the market. 1t is a great
advantage to. feed hogs on concrete
or: tight board floors, especially II one
is feeding ear corn, as there will be
no ;te. Feeding in muddy or dusty
lots Is very dangerous practice.

HINTS FOR THE HORSE LOVER.
NarroW.chested Animals Do Not Pos.
sess Endurance Of Broad-Chested
Ones-keep Things Orderly.

The horse that is "all legs" is not
the one you want. Try to get those
that are well set, neither too long
legs nor too long bodies.
When a good horse lags don't put
the whip on and make it 90 anyway.
Stop and look into the matter. That
horse is not we'll. If it were it would
not lag. You do not like to be forced
to work when you are sick. The
horse is most like a man Of any liv.
ing animal.
It is foolish for the farmer to get
the notion that he can win money on
the track with his horses. It Is all
right to give the horses a chance to
show what is in them, but don't do
1t for money ever.
Have the sides Of your stalls we'll
nailed to place. Horses sometimes
find out that they can crowd the
partitions out of place and once they
get that habit they will make life mis-
erable for you.
Some horses have q way of throw.
ing their hay out on the floor the first
thing they do after feeding. If you
feed through chute from overhead
you will be free from this difficulty.
If not, the best way is to build in front
