an act enabling county commits
sioners to appropriate funds from
the county treasury to pay part
Of lie salary of a resident farm

sa4lary is paid By the State. In
Some counties the e9unty's part
is made up by the farmers who
contribute a dollar or two each a.
year. In no case have we heard
that those so contributing did
not make fifty dollars more than
they would otherwise have done.

HENS THAT DON'T LAY

Whenever a man tells me that his
hens are simply eating their heads
off and that he Is getting no eggs at a
season of the year when the hens
ought to be laying, Iknow-ahsolute-
ly know-that those hens are not get
ting the proper food or attention. You
can't get out Of hen what you do not
put into her. II you want eggs you
must feed food that make eggs.
Several years ago / purchased a
dozen hens from a farmer who said
they hadn't laid an egg for four
months and they had eaten
enough corn TO fatten two hogs. The
hens were less than two years old.
They were purchased a day or two af-
ter Christmas.
i place the hens In an open-front
house. The floor was covered with
straw. For two days those hens got
nothing TO eat but a pint OF equal
parts OF cracked corn and wheat. The
third day, In addition to the grain, /
fed a mash composed OF two parts
bran, one part each OF cut clover, mid
dlings and corn meal. A little beef
scrap was also added. Just enough OF
this mash was fed the first day to
make the hens wish for more. Grad
ually the quantity OF food was in
creased, until after two weeks the
hens were on full feed. In about ten
days the hens started TO lay and they
laid well all winter--in fact. much bet
ter than the other hens on the place
hen that has been fed for months
on fat-producing foods must be stinted
for time while gradually changing
the ration Like the fat person, ahe
must be put on diet and must be
compelled TO exercise. The hen that
has not laid for months Is the one
that will make up for lost time when
she is finally gotten in laying order.

THE VALUABLE DUST BOX

Every poultryman should see that
there Is dust-box provided for his
chickens to scratch in at this season
or the year. The dust-bath is essen
tial, for by its use the fowls are able
TO get rid Of great numbers of lice
Poultry lice get their breath through
pores In their sides, and the fine dust
nils these pores and thus suffocates
the vermin. The dust-box also pro-
vides a means OF exercise which is
thing TO be greatly encouraged among
the hens during winter for the pur-
pose Of promoting their health and
getting them In better condition for
the production OF eggs
Wood Ashes Stain Feathers
Dust from the road. coal ashes or
dry dirt OF any kind will do to fiji
the dust-box. Wood ashes are not rec
commended for, when wet. il is said.
they will stain the feathers and other
wise harm the fowls. II the hens are
badly infested with lice 1t is a good
plan to add insect powder TO the ma
terial In the box.
A box of nearly any suitable dimen-
sion, If about a foot deep. will serve
the purpose. 1t should be tight as the
dust will sift out OF IL rapidly II any
cracks are present. The box should
be placed where the sun will shine on
1t as many hours during the day as
possible, for when the hens are not
exercising at scratching at their feed
they will spend a good deal of the
time I'm the dust bath. The fowls will
not use the dust-box as freely as they
should unless the dust OF the air about
it is warm, for they dislike to open
their feathers and expose their bod
les to the cold. The box will seldom
be used when 1t is below 60 degrees.
Put the Dust Box I'm Warm Place
One end of the dust-box may be put
on a window-sill and the other sup
ported on legs, and covered with a
canopy Of heavy cloth which would
enclose the box on all sides except
the end towards the window and
enough on one side to allow the pas
sage of the fowls. This will confine
the heat In the box and make the tenn
perature there many degrees higher
than that on the outside Of the box
and In the house. The canopy SHOULD
slope down from the window to the
far side of the box so as to reflect the
sunlight down into the box. Such a
dust-bath can be easily and cheaply
made and 1t will add much to the
health Of the fowls. A dust bath with
good shelter, exercise and sunshine
and proper feed provided for the fowls
go together to make the best proven
tatives OF colds and roup that know
Of and TO furnish these Is cheaper
and easier than to cure.

THE MAN WHO HURRIEs

From quite an extensive obserya-
ton OF men at nearly all sorts Of work,
the writer Is convinced that the man
who hurries and hustles Is but q poor
worker. 1t seems that too much OF
his energy Is wasted in creating stir.
He tries 10 do all his work at once;
as a matter OF fact. he feels in hurry
from the force OF habit. and this en-
genders a negative force. a force that
lessons the amount of work that
should be done in a given time. The
friction CRATES. and his temperature
gets too high The worker who thus
hurries after an undue fashion, turns
of 80 little work of real value that
at the close OF the day he is certainly
not blessed with the consciousness of
having completed a days work.
Notice the man who never catches
the hurrying fever. nevertheless, he
may have plenty TO do. He is the
man who accomplishes most, and that,
too, of a practical value. Perhaps, in
the beginning he made a calculation
OF what he could do, consequently, he
does not lack time, and works in a
leisurely, methodical manner, finishing
each piece OF work in the best order
possible. and saving himself all ner-

INTRODUCING A QUEEN

The time will come when the pro-
gressive bee keeper will desire TO i'm
prove his strain OF bees, and to that
end will buy queen from some breed
er, which occupation is well repre-
sented in the United States.
To introduce a queen safely Is a
delicate job, for she is an expensive
bit OF insect. If a brood pig cost in
proportion, a hundred-pounder would
be worth close to half a million dol
lars, for good queen will cost $3.50
and weighs but about seven grains
She will come in a cage. and with her
will be an escort of dozen bees
though she does not need the atten-
ton she does while laying. and for
that matter, will feed herself if her
attendants die, for there Is food in the
box to last many days.
A swarm of bees must be hopelessly
queenless, else the bees will Kill
queens as fast as you can put them in
If you have no other way to. decide,
get ready a hive filled with frames
containing empty comb,set the hive
containing the swarm to one side when
the bees that are out will go to the
new one. Now remove the cover Of
the new hive and put on II honey
board and over that an empty hive
and close the entrance OF the new
hive. You will now take the frames
from the old hive one by one and
shake the bees into the upper empty
hive until all the frames are empty
Then take the hive and empty frames
away.
There are even chances that II there
is virgin queen in this swarm she
cannot get through the honey board,
and driving down the bees with smoke
you will be able 10 see her unless she
flies away. II you do not find her leave
the hive until morning putting cover
on the empty hive. then give the swarm
frame containing eggs and brood
and leave II until evening. If the
swarm Is queenless they will COM
mence queen cells. II they do by
evening. put in your queen, In the cage
according to directions, and the bees
will help dig her out.

HoTBED FOR SWEET POTATOES

Here is my method for making a
hotbed. i make 1t four feet wide. Use
a twelve-inch board on the south side
and a twelve and six inch board on
the north side and then board the ends
up even. About two inches OF soil
is taken out which IL used for bank
ing. This takes out most OF the weed
seeds. Then about four inches OF soil
Is taken out and laid aside and six
inches more which is also used for
banking. That makes a pit about
twelve inches deep. / flll this space
up to the bottom OF the boards with
fresh horse manure and trampie IL
down well. j take enough OF the
four inches OF soil to make a three
inch layer over the surface OF the
bed. Lay in the sweet potatoes so
that they do not touch and put about
one inch OF soil over them loosely.
II sand Is handy ! put about two
inches of Il over the soil. but II have
no sand handy, find some rich spot
where II has never been plowed and
after removing nbout three inches OF
the top soil take out about enough to
cover the bed two inches deep. II the
top soil Is removed In this way you
will not be bothered much with weeds.
Some people prefer to make a bed
and let 1t stand few days before
planting the potatoes, but IL ! can
make my bed and plant the potatoes
the same day IL suits me better. All
the trouble have with the bed Is that
the plants are ready TO be set out be-
fore / am ready or the weather. One
OF my neighbors made a bed the same
day / did last spring and / sold him
plants to set out. His were just COM
ing through.-G. l. p.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1915-02-10

A safer, handler. but more tedious
way Is to take couple of frames OF
brood In which the young bees are
emerging. Put these In a hive be-
tween two frames OF honey; take the
little piece OF cardboard OF the end
Of the cage. then put the cage In as
directed before. Enough bees will
hatch out by the time the queen Is
out to help care for her and the bees
which will hatch. In the spring Il
Will be difficult TO get the honey and
brood into the hive without robbers
getting to work. so where am obliged
TO resort TO this method / fix the hive
in my honey house. and then leave II
there for several days, finally remov-
ing IL 10 a remote part OF the yard.
After the queen Is out and there are
few bees flying you can add frames
of brood from time TO time until you
have your hive full, which will give
you a swarm of young bees which will
no doubt give you a surplus.
The beginner should be very careful
about trying the new methods of intro
auctions they will find In the bee
journals, for, like preventing swarm
ing methods. they are not to be de-
pended on. After all Is said and
done, experience Is the best teacher.

ROAD MAKING WITH A HARROW

A gravel pike extends along one
side OF our farm. IL was kept up for
awhile one season by nearby farmer
Who was employed by the township
trustees. Finally, he ceased tending
the road and IL became cut up and
needed scraping similar TO what IL h;ts
been receiving the farmer had used
small two-horse scraper a number
or which are maintained about the
township. We had no scraper or drag
and knew OF no place where we could
get one. Finally we hit upon
scheme of our own.
A spike-tooth harrow that we had
been using was brought into service.
strong board was obtained, as long
as the harrow was wide and about
six inches wide or of sufficient width
to somewhat exceed the length OF the
protruding pointed ends of the harrow
teeth. This plank, or heavy board,
was placed on edge on the ground be-
meath the harrow and so that IL fitted
against the rear row Of harrow teeth.
Two augur holes near the top edge of
the plank admitted wires by means
OF which IL was secured TO the cross
beam OF the harrow.
boards were placed across the beams
and between the rows Of harrow teeth.
On this the driver could stand. The
team was then hitched so that con-
siderable angle was given the har-
row. and started on the road.
BY the driver adjusting his position
on the little platform relative TO front
and back, the depth at which the
front harrow teeth dug the ground
could be regulated.
We found that II worked splendid
ly. The road at the time when we
first put the harrow on It, was all cut
up and had dried In this condition.
We made the front harrow teeth do
duty and found them to be just the
thing. They knocked Off the high
places and loosened up the dirt so that
when the plank came along all 1t had
TO do was to scrape the dirt into the
hollows and depressions. few times
over the road with this put II In fine
condition.-P. c. @,

The Best We Can

When things don't go to suit us.
Why should we fold our hands
And say, mo use In trying,
Fate battles all our plans"
Let not your courage falter.
Keep faith in COD and man.
And to this thought be steadfast--
"Ill do the best i can"
IL the clouds blot out the sunshine
Along the way you tread.
Don't grieve in hopeless fashion
And sigh for brightness fed.
Beyond the clouds the sunlight
Shines in the eternal plan;
Trust that the way may brighten,
And do the best you can.
Away with vain repinings;
Sing songs Of hope and cheer,
Till many weary comrade
Grows strong of heart to hear.
He who sings over trouble
Is aye the wisest man.
He can't help what has happened.
But-does the best he can.
SO II things don't go TO suit US,
Let's never fume or fret.
For finding fault with fortune
Meier mended matters yet.
Make the best OF whate'er happens.
Bear failure like man;
And in good or evil fortune
Do just the best you can.

dated Copper company at McGill. has
begun mandamus proceedings in the
supreme court against Controller
George Cole for the payment OF his
salary as public service engineer since
last February at a salary of 5000 a

He contends that the act passed at
the last session of the Legislature re-
ducing his salary from $4,000 to 81
500 a year is unconstitutional and in
violation OF article four. section II
