The sand farmer has been much
pleased to answer letters from Mich
igan girls like the following;
Mr.. Louis p. Haight,
Muskegon, Michigan.
Dear Sir
was reading in the paper that
you were willing to help boys and
girls earn their way through college.
am a girl Of sixteen, and live on
farm of forty acres. / am in the
ninth grade at school. l want to
find some way of earning my way
through college. | thought that may
be you could help me find some way
of earning the money. l have a
brother and sister who would also
like to get your advice on the same
subject. Hoping to receive an early
reply, remain,
Yours sincerely"
1t is very good sign when the
young people in our state are mani
testing their desire for higher edu-
cation, that they may fit themselves
for their life work. The Sand
Farmer wants to help them all he
can, and if some become discouraged
because they cannot earn a large
amount Of money at once, he would
urge them to keep on.
One girl began by knitting nit
tens, another by selling goods, and
several others are planning TO have
a half-acre of Sudan grass, or pota-
toes next year. The potatoes are to
be raised by using the eyes cut out
Of the potato when peeling them for
table use. These eyes are packed
away in moist sand, and kept until
next spring. BY that time they will
have good roots, and will have made
a fairly good start, and can be
planted as soon as the ground is
ready. This seed costs nothing but
a little labor, and will produce just
as many potatoes as the whole tuber

chickens can eat all of this feed they
desire. If the beef scrap is to be fed
separately it is advisable to wait
until the chicks are 10 days old, al
though many poultrymen put the
beef scrap before the young chickens
at the start without bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with
green feed, such as lettuce, sprouted
oats, alfalfa, or clover, but the best
place to raise chickens successfully
is on good range where no extra
green feed is required. Fine char
coal, grit, and oyster shell should be
kept before the chickens at all times,
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1915-02-20

and cracked or ground bone may be
fed where the chickens are kept in
small bare yards, but the latter feed
is not necessary for chickens that
have a good range.
The United State Department of
Agriculture recently issued Farmers

and Artificial Brooding of Chickens"
which contains the practical instruc-
tions that have been given in this
series. 1t may be had by poultry

totaled more than 1000, and this is
probably the largest show of a sin
gle breed of horses held in the world.
The breeding of Belgian draft horses
is also promoted by the government,
which annually awards prizes and
subsidies to the best animals in the
various provinces. Stations which
stand for public service must be APP
proved by a commission appointed
by the government.
Importations of these horses into
the United States occurred more or
less frequently during the last half
of the nineteenth century, but it has
been only within the past 10 years
that they have been imported in any

and they reached their destination in
first class condition.
This variety does best on sandy
soil, the only fault being a poor
plant maker. For this reason it is
not listed by but very few nursery
men and are more expensive. These
plants do not require babying as
some would have you believe. In
transplanting, l have lost fewer of
them than any variety have grown.
The mother plant will grow as large
as any variety and is Of spreading
habit. have plants eighteen inches
in diameter and you could scarcely
see the leaves for fruit stems and
berries.
/ renew the bed each spring, pick
ing only the one season. In this way
the ground is kept in much better
condition and the berries are larger.
During the early season | cultivate
with horse and later by hand, work
ing the ground frequently and keep
ing free from weeds at all times.
l prefer this to mulching pick all
blossoms up to July I
l don't consider it good policy to
grow these as common berries are
grown, that is fruit the same beds
from year to year, for if they are
grown in hills and being fruited so
late in the fall they go into the win
ter in such a weakened condition
that a majority of the plants will
not survive and it will be as much
of task to fill in and try to patch
up the old bed as TO set a new one;
in the matted row system there will
be so many plants it will be impos-
sible to keep the blossoms picked off
and this is absolutely necessary to
secure good crop in the fall, but on
new set beds the task is not hard, for
UP to July 1 there is only the mother

mer berries without irrigating, but
have never had occasion to irrigate
the fall-bearers for we always have
plenty of rain at that season. Fur
thermore the summer berries are
quite often ruined by frosts; not so
with the fall-bearing kinds, for If
one set of blossoms are killed an
other will soon appear. Frequently
a sever storm during the height Of
the poisoning period will also ruin
the summer crop, but with the fall
varieties blossoms are appearing and
disappearing all the time so you are
sure to get some nice berries.
l claim to be quite successful with
summer varieties, but can make
more money in one season with fall
bearers than in two seasons with
common kinds and with less work.

thousand quarts of Francis per acre
The first fall and as it will be some
time before these berries sell below
25 cents per quart, what crop will
pay better?

Some of the criticisms Of the Bel
gian horse are that a large number
have necks that are too short and
heavy, too dropping Group,
roughness about the hooks, bone that
is not sufficiently fiat, too short and
straight in the pastern, hoof deficient
in circumference, and lack of gen
oral quality; but great improvement
has been noted in respect to these.

large numbers. The early trade was
principally a stallion trade, but dur
ing the past five years quite large
number of mares have been import
ed.
The Belgian divides honors with
the Shire as being the heaviest Of
any of our breeds. Mature stations
in fair condition, weighing a ton or
more, are comparatively common. In
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1915-02-20

height mature stations will probably
average slightly over 16h hands,
and mature mares about Is hands.
In general conformation they are
the most compact Of any breed, the
bodies being short, wide, and deep.
The head is of medium size, the neck
is short and heavily crested or
arched, the chest is broad and deep,
the back short and well muscled
over the loin, the Group is somewhat
dropping or steep. and the quarters
are full and heavily muscled. The
legs are short and free from the long
hair or feather characteristic of the
Clydesdale and Shire. In action the
Belgian is good, but is less active
than the Clydesdale or Percheron.

BELGIAN.


The Belgian draft horse, as the
name indicates, originated and has
been developed in Belgium, and is
he only breed of horses which is
bred to any extent in that country,
the light horses used in Belgium be-
ing purchased largely in other coun-
tries. In 1886 the Belgian Draft
Horse society was organized for the
purpose of encouraging the breeding
Of the native draft horse and to
maintain a studbook for the breed.
In June of each year the annual
show of this society Is held at Brus-
sells. At the twenty-eighth annual
show, held in June, 1913, the entries

IRENE width may cause the Belgian
to roll somewhat at the walk, but as
a class they are good movers at the
trot.
In this country the Belgian sire
has been valuable in improving the
draft conformation of our horse
stock, particularly when mated with
many of our rangy, loosely coupled
mares. The breed has made wonder
full progress in this country, consid-
ering that it has attracted much at
tention only during the past 10 or
Is years. In fact, probably no breed
has shown a greater increase in pop
ularity and a greater improvement
during the past decade.

General March Conditions.
During the first half of March the
barometer will average lower than
usual in the United States. Severe
storms of high winds and gales east
of the Mississippi river are very
likely to do considerable damage. In
western sections precipitation will
be heavy and the temperature mild
er.
Storms Of rain and snow with high
winds are expected to give eastern
sections of the country plenty of
moisture during last half of month,
but these conditions will give way to
brighter and warmer weather as the
month goes out.

First Week of March.

Very cold weather for the season
will be felt over the New England
states, lake region and westward
with possible high winds and gales
over the northern lake region as the
week Of February % begins. At this
same time the weather will have
greatly moderated from the Missis-
sippi valley westward as a result Of
oncoming "W" storm wave. Most
all sections east of the Mississippi
river will have moderated from the
cold by Monday or Tuesday.

Though there is no definite rule laid

yet 1t has become an unwritten one
for the officers to instruct their men
to sing when they are in great dan
ger. as, for instance. when their ship
has been mined or torpedoed and is
sinking.
A popular song, as rule. is ordered
to be sung because most of the sailors
know it, and collective singing puts
more heart in them and helps them
to hang on as long as possible till help
comes.
