DON'T WANT WAGES

Editor The Times: A wife
need not necessarily get wages
from her husband, but she, to the
same extent as he, earns that
money. 1t is her time against
his, she is equal to him in all re-
spects, and whether he hands over
the pay check to her for settle
ment of bills. or whether he pays
the bills, II should never be nec-
essary for the wife to ask him for
money for her own personal needs.
That is bill that should be
paid as regularly as the rent.

VALUE OF MANURE SPREADER
Throughout Growing Season
Necessary on Any Farm.

One Of the great advantages OF the
manure spreader over the old way of
spreading manure by hand is that 1t
can be used throughout the growing

ed to give a light or heavy applica-
tion OF manure.
During the growing season. when
ever there Is little time to spare

will be feeding crops instead Of vast

With the spreader. manure can be
hauled out any time Of the year. For
this reason alone. saying nothing Of
the time saved In unloading nd the
even manner in which the manure is
distributed, the spreader is worth many
times its cost 1t is just as necessary

BEST TEST FOR ACID SOILS
Wisconsin Expert Tells of Device Re.
Gently Perfected to Tell Amount
of Lime Required.

(By T.. TRUOG, Wisconsin Experiment
Station)
simple little device has been per
fected which promises to be of great
value in improving and developing
manV 81 the soils. By its use 1t is
possible to tell how acid soil is and
how much lime will have to be applied
to correct this acidity.
1t consists of an alcohol burner q
cup to measure soil, a graduate to
measure water. a few strips OF paper,
and some chemicals which can be pur-
chased at any drug store. 1t is mo
trick to mix the water, soil and
chemicals together In a flask and set
this mixture over the alcohol burner
until 1t boils. Then by laying one OF
the strips of paper. soaked In another
chemical, over the mouth of the flask
for two minutes. observing the color
the paper turns and comparing this
with a card of standard colors, the
farmer knows definitely how much
acid is in his soil. The gas given off
by the boiling mixture. colors the
strips OF this paper in shades from
light yellow to black. depending on
how much acid is present to set free
the gas.

There should be doors leading from
one loft to the other with nests up
the back and around the sides as far
as the doors permit.
An aviary or fly of wire outside is
necessary to the completion of the
accommodations for the pigeons that
are to be kept by the breeder The
fly should be larger than the loft itself.
1t should be the same height as the
house and twice as long. That is, a
house OF which the boarded part is
10 feet across in front should have
the wire fly 20 feet long A success
sion of four of these lofts would make
a building 40 feet long and ~ feet
wide.
The nests for the pigeons are ar
ranged along the back and side walls.
They should run from II inches from
the floor to within the same distance
from the roof. and be little more
than three feet wide, so as to divide the
back space of ten feet into three equal
parts. Be careful not to overcrowd,
as it requires skill to handle a large
number of pigeons in one loft success
fully.
Each compartment should be fixed
In such a way that one end can be
darkened. and the nest should be
placed at this side. 1t will be found
best to use the earthen nest pans
that can be bought from dealers in
pigeon supplies, and these should be
supplied with material like shavings.
pine needles, etc, such as would be
suitable for the birds to rest upon.
When breeding for profit 1t is very
necessary to curtail all unnecessary
expense. A building such as that de-
scribed can be put up OF plain match
boards at the lowest cost possible; If
more money is to be spent on the
building itself. It may be papered and
clapboarded. which might be better
in sections where the winters are ex-
tremely cold and severe. The cost of
good mated homers from a reliable
dealer is two dollars per pair, and It
does not pay to begin with poor stock.

as all the available space at the back

A proportion which has almost come
to be the standard among those who
breed pigeons for SQUAD raising is nine
feet in front with drop of three feet

PLACE FOR POTATO STORAGE
Plenty Of Ventilation Is Necessary
Have the Bins More Than Eight
Feet Square.

(By A. r. KOHLER. Minnesota Exper-
imenr Station.)
The place for storing potatoes
should have plenty OF ventilation. Bins
ought not to be more than eight feet
square and should have slat walls
with hollow partitions. Or there
should be plenty of ventilating tubes
with Stat sides reaching from top to
bottom of the bin. Where bins are as
large as eight feet square a ventilat-
ing tube In the middle of each one
would be desirable. Ventilation helps
to carry off moisture, thus keeping
the potatoes dry. making 1t possible
to cool them off quickly in the fall
and keep them cool during the winter
The best temperature for potatoes
is as near S5 degrees Fahrenheit as
possible. A good tested thermometer
or several In different locations and
at different heights should be kept in
the cellar and watched at frequent in
tervals.
In putting potatoes into storage
cellar they should be run over
screen that will take out the dirt.
Large potatoe cellar should be filled
in layers so as to give the potatoes
the best possible opportunity TO cool
OF and dry Dumping a whole days
digging in one place is not the best
practice
The best method for keeping mois-
ture from collecting on the inside Of
the roof of potato cellars is to cover
them with straw or strawy manure.
Plenty of ventilation also helps.
