Cement Water Filter.

is filed to a depth of three feet, with
charcoal, for stagnant water, but
should consist of limestone and brick
bats for rain water. The bottom of
the receiving basin will retain much
sediment which must be removed be-
fore reaching the openings into the
sand basin. This sediment is always
of heavy, Shiny nature, which makes
a good fertilizer for flower and vege-
table gardens. The sand and gravel
also becomes coated with a light
weight muck which Tetards the capac-
ity of the filter; however, the water
is purer after the sand has become
partially coated. The sand must be
renewed or removed and washed from
one to six times a year, depending
upon the amount of impurities con-
tanned in the water. The charcoal,
being an air mixer, rarely ever re-
quires attention and about two clean
ings a year will answer for the other
basins. In western states where
alkah abounds, a lump of alum
dropped into the receiving basin once
a month does much to clarity the
water.

ALFALFA GOOD. HORSE FEED
Must Be Fed With Judgment and Care
Best to Feed Animals First
and Second Cuttings.

Alfalfa is an excellent horse feed,
eut is must be fed with judgment and
care.
Because of its palatability mature
horses are likely to eat too much al
falfa if permitted to have free access
to it.
The average farm horse at hard
work is allowed to eat much more al
falfa and other roughage than he real
ly needs to maintain his weight.
One pound of alfalfa or other hay
and about one and one-fourth pound
of grain day for every 100 pounds of
the horses weight make a good ra-
ton for the working horse.
Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse
from the cattle racks is very accepta-
BILE to horses.
1t is best to feed mature horses first
and second cutting alfalfa which is
free from mold and dust
Never feeG wet alfalfa hay to
horses.
A sudden change of feed deranges
the horses digestive system.
Horses accustomed to alfalfa as a
regular part of their ration are sell

The grass widow went to Purityville
and asked the school superintendent
for a job. He pried into her past like
a detective, and finally drew from her
that she was a Divorce. The superin-
tendent threw up his hands.
My dear young woman" he said, 81

We are opposed here to the employ
ment of widows of both classes. Our
school board has sort of unwritten
law against it."
The grass widow sighed and looked
out of the window
But I am widow through no fault
of mine" the young woman insisted.
1T was the husband who erred. And,
besides, single women also have been
known to kidnap married men from
their families"
Yes, yes. / know" the superinten-
dent chirped; but the single ones are
not so bright and attractive"
She felt the need of employment,
and had heard that PurityvilIe was in

IN a SHADOW
Tea Drinker Feared Paralysis.

Steady use of either tea or coffee

these beverages acts with more po-
tency in some persons than in others.

WAR HORSES NOT FOR FARMS
ricuituraI Work, Says an Ex-
pert Of Kansas College.

The buying of a large number Of
Kansas horses by the warning na-
lions Of Europe will not cause a
shortage of farm power, believes Dr..
c. ". McCampbell, assistant grofes-
scr Of animal husbandry in the col
lege. The war horse and the efficient
farm horse, declares Doctor McCamp
bell, are two distinct types.
The war horse, weighing from l.
900 to 1900 pounds, has been re-
sponsible for much of the inefHciency
Of farm power. The fewer war horses
left upon the farms, the better of the
farmer viii be. It is the type of horse
adapted to war that has always caused
the low prices in the horse market.
because the demand for this type Of
horse in the commercial world is prac-
ticalIy gone. The sound. heavy. &C
tive, draft horse has always brought
the higher price
If the people who think that there
will be a shortage Of horses to oper-
ate the farms the coming year viii
notice the type Of horse that is being
exported, says Doctor McCampbell
they will find that it is not the farm
horses that the European countries
are buying but the medium-sized war
horses. An increased demand for the
heavy draft horse will result when
the small horses have disappeared
Now. is a good time, believes Doc
tor McCampbell, to get rid Of the
small horses and raise draft horses,
as there will always be a strong mar
ket for the draft horse while the
market for the small horse is becom-
ing smaller each year.

FIGHT AGAINST WHITE GRUB
Farmer Should Be Careful in Planting
Soil Where Pest Is in Evidence
Keep Close Watch.

The white grub is going to eat next
falls crops this spring if farmers
don't watch out"
There are reasons for believing this
Last summer there were great num-
beTs of June beetles. These June bee
ties lay the eggs from which are
Matched the white grubs. That white
grubs Matched was sufficiently evil
dent from an examination of ground
plowed last fall. These white grubs
will eat the seed of hill planted crops
if they are given a fraction of a
chance.
Farmers were told last fall that fall
blowing would do much to destroy the
pests which prey upon corn. potatoes.
strawberries, and other hiIl-planted
crops. Many farmers, as a result,
plowed industriously, but there re-
mains lot of blowing to be done this
spring, and, in doing this, farmers who
are wise will watch their burrows for
white grubs. If they find only a few
even they may know that their fields
are badly infested and that they
should avoid planting in such areas
corn, potatoes, or similar crops. Fields
in grass, grain or sod last year will be
most seriously infested this year
Fields in clover last year. do not seem
to be so badly infested. Fields that
were in cultivated crops last season.
will have few or no grubs in them.
If the farmer does not wish to have
his labor neutraliZed, he should avoid
planting his corn, potatoes, and so on,
where there are signs of the white
grub.

BROODY HEN BOON TO OWNER
Profitable Results Need Not Be Ex-
pected Unless Hen Is Given Good,
Comfortable Nest.

The hen that becomes broody early
in the season is a boon to her owner,
but no matter how good a mother she
may be. nor how fertile the eggs given
her, she cannot bring of a good hatch
unless she is given a comfortable nest
"a nest which will not chill the eggs
from underneath.
Select a Toomy box, from fifteen to
eighteen inches square, according to
the size of the hen, but no smaller
than fifteen inches.
Fill the bottom with two or three
inches of sifted coal ashes; cover
with heavy paper mat, of paper that
has been we'll sprinkled with kero-
sene, as a preventive of mites: then
make a good nest of cut straw over

A nest of this kind will retain the
heat of the hen, and the eggs will

of the eggs, sometimes delaying the
hatch 3 day or two. and weakening
the chicks that did hatch.

FEED TO INDUCE EGG LAYING
Morning Meal Made of Bran and
Shorts, Mixed and Softened With
Hot Water Is Excellent.

Bran and shorts mixed and softened
with hot water make a good morning
meal. Boiled potatoes and oat meal
mush also are excellent. Ground
bone ought to be made a regular ar
ticle of diet.
The fowl should have a chance for
exercise and this is gained by hav.
ing a layer of straw on the floor to
hide the grain and also by suspend
ing green cabbages or pieces of meat
far enough from the floor so that they
are compelled to jump TO reach the
food. A meal Of wheat or corn is
to be given late in the afternoon.
All kinds of roots chopped fine and
fed raw are relished. Either parched
corn or charcoal is one Of the essen
tials. Poultry so handled will be
healthy and active instead of sickly
and lazy and will produce satisfac-
tory supply Of eggs.

PURE WATER
Construction of Filter viii Solve
Farm Problem.
Most Practical Size Is Four Feet
Deep, Eight Feet Long and as
Wide as Capacity May Re-

The capacity Of the filter illustrated
is large and may be constructed of
sufficient width to receive the flow Of
an entire brook where it enters the
farm, thus insuring pure water for
all purposes, as stock, steam boilers
and household use, writes H. Clock in
Modern Farmer.
The filter may be made quite small,
but the most practical size is four feet
deep, eight feet long and as wide as
capacity may require, calculating
about five gallons per minute per
every foot width. The capacity, how
ever, depends much upon the condi-
ton Of the water to be filtered. The

A tin disk, with a thick piece of

for the hand. The leather will not
spoil the edge of the sickle, should the
