MONEY IN SORTING POTATOES
Consumers, Large and Small, Do Nos
Like Mixed Lots-Demand IL for
Uniform Sized Tubers.

There is money to be made by the
sorting of potatoes Consumers, large
and small, do not like mixed lots. They
want them uniform in size and quality.
Consequently potatoes are usually
sorted before being put on the market
and the price which is paid the potato
grower is the price Of sorted potatoes,
less the cost of sorting. Therefore, the
potato grower who ships unsorted po-
tatoes really has to- pay the charge OF
sorting.
The shipper Of unsorted potatoes.
ALSO has to pay another charge, ana
that is the freight on the culls which
are later taken oGt Of his shipment.
The shipper Of unsorted potatoes,
therefore, is SIMPLY wasting money.
It pays to sort because it gives one
the top market prices and because It
saves freight on culls, and, it might
be added, because the culls could %

Man Never Gets Old.

When is a man old? A woman is as

FEED OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Ration Given Breeders Has Much TO
Do With Future Strength and
Vigor of Resulting Chicks

The ration fed the breeders iS OF
very great importance, as it has
great deal to do with the futur6
strength of the pen.
The breeders should preferably be
isolated from the rest Of the flock by
placing them in a yard and clean pen
to themselves. When this is done you
should feed them everything they get
to eat Some may think this is a dis.
advantage, but you can then know to
certainty just. what the fowls are
getting to eat and this is very impor-
tant item during the breeding season.
Feed plenty Of good, wholesome
food.
Give them as, great variety of food.
grains and vegetables as it is possible
for you to provide. This is one Of the
secrets of strong chicks. A variety OF
food forms q balanced ration and such
a ration means strong germs.
Plenty of green food Is essential, as
we'll as sufficient meat food, for they
supply elements of food that cannot
be found in any other ration and
which are necessary to the proper
structure Of the egg. But care should
be taken not to overfeed on these ele-
ments as such an occurrence will do
more damage, than one might suppose.

Mary Prescott. The little town knew
only of it's rare outlines. Mr.. and
Mrs. Prescott had come to Wartham

rented a small cottage and lived very
much to themselves Their life seemed
a strange one. The husband would
go away mysteriously and be absent
for as long as month at time. Dur

shut themselves up in the lonely home,
seeing as few people as was possible.
Neighbors never intruded, but they
could not fail to notice that the lady S

Then the truth came out, discovered
by a resident of the little town visit

gambler. He had used up all his own
money and that of his wife at the
card table. For a month, surly'
scowling, speaking to no one IN the
town, he had been seen about the
house. Then one evening the village
was startled by a new disclosure.
The father, with little Airline by his
side, had been seen to go aboard the
river steamer Puritan. An hour later
Mrs. Prescott came rushing to the
wharf to make inquiries. She was
frantic, half beside herself. Two
hours later this circumstance was oD-

point fifty miles down the river, that

Several Diseases Frequently Mistaken
for choIera-keep Isolated Until
Trouble Is Defined.

Just as soon as 1t is noticed that
O hog is sick, it should be separated
from the herd and kept isolated un-
til the exact nature Of the trouble
can be determined.
Diseases which are most frequently
mistaken for hog cholera are intes-
final worms, various digestive dis
turbances, lung worms, Inflammation
of the bowels and 11ecrobacillosis. The
last named disease is caused by the
same germ that is responsible for
sore mouth and bull-nose Of pigs.
Most of the confusion of the two dis
eases arises from the fact that in
some cases pigs affected with necro'
bacillosis will show the speckfed ap.
pcarapce of the kidneys, which has
been looked upon as so characteristic
of hog cholera.
Hog cholera serum is Of no value
in combating any disease except hog

in the morning as soon as it is dry
from the dew, tedded and allowed to
lie in the swath during the first day.
The second day it is raked up and
drawn directly from the windrow to
the barn or the market. In this way
excellent hay is made. Except for
threatened rain, NO alfalfa is ever put
into the shock. It is cut three times
each season, the total yield being from
four to six tons per acre. The alfalfa
is allowed to stand three or four
years, after which the land is; plowed

(By w. A. LLOYD,

tBy W.. a. ~
On certain farm in Hooking eoulf'
ty, Ohio, alfalfa was introduced by
accident about twenty years ago.
Seed was purchased for mammoth
clover, which was sown on wheat in
April. About one-half Of the seed
proved to be alfalfa, which came up
nicely in the wheat and was thought
at the time to be sweet clover. The
plants came OF well after the wheat
was harvested, and upon investigation
were found to be alfalfa. This led to
the establishment Of the five to Sic
year rotation; corn, wheat, followed
by alfalfa for three or four years. Dur
ing all OF these years this method
of seeding has been uniformly sue
cessful.
Last year a small field was seeded
to alfalfa in standing, corn with good
results, and this year about 20 acres
have been seeded in the same way,
The seed is sown after the last cultiva-
ton, and covered with a small plank
drag. This is rather novel,, home
made implement, "a inches wide and
% inches long, that works between the
rows Of corn. This dragging covers
the alfalfa nicely and leaves the:
ground in a fine, level condition.
Should this method prove uniformly
successful it will take the place OF
the present practice of seeding in the
wheat. Both of the above methods
are being successfully followed by
alfalfa growers in Ohio.

HOW TO GET RID OF LICE
AND MITES
Press Bulletin by E. p. Clayton,
Prof. Poultry Husbandry,
Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College, Mississippi

Perhaps no other trouble will
do so much damage in warm
weather to Poultry as lice and
mites. They breed rapidly and
sap the vitality of both laying
hens and growing chicks.
To rid the premises of them
use one of the following RENE
dies:
To one-half gallon carbolic
acid add one pound of moth
balls. When dissolved and well
mixed, use a small paint brush
and paint the roosts and nests
we'll. Paint twice the first week
and in about ten days paint
twice again.
Do not set the hens for at
least a week after the nest is
painted if you expect her to
live. The fumes are too strong
for her. After a week she can
stand them we'll.
The sitting hen should be we'll
sprinkled with Pyrethrum Pow
ders before she is set and once
a week afterwards. If little
chicks have lice on them they
will stand around with wings
dropped and finally die. Grease
them on head and throat with
some kind of grease. Press the
feathers close to skin. The lice
can now be seen. Pull them off
with fingers and kill. Grease
the mother hen under wings and
on breast. Be careful. Too
much grease will kill the
little chicks but used judi
ciously will kill the lice
and save the chicks.
Sprinkle the old hen every
week with Pyrethrum Powders.
Clean the poultry houses, and
paint with some cheap paint or
whitewash.
The above remedies will save
your poultry if followed accord
ing to directions.
