That the planets and the moon have
an effect upon the weather on the
earth is a common belief. This belief
is baseless. for all changes of weather
depend upon differences in temporal
ture.
Rainfall is due to the accumulation
OF water in the atmosphere. This wa
ter can accumulate only by being evap-
Grated from the surface OF the earth.
And evaporation requires heat. Winds
also are due to heat-greater warmth
In one place than in another causing
the air to rush toward where the warm
air is rising.
If the moon and the planets u
furnish heat they might affect the
weather. But the heat they furnish IS
SO enthusiastically small that 1t is not
enough to change the temperature an
appreciable fraction of a degree. The
amount OF heat they send us has actu-
ally been measured. but ii needed the
most d~elicately sensitive Of instru-
ments to perceive 1t.

Federal Employment Scheme.

Washington, June Incorporation Is
planned between three federal depart
ments. those of labor. agriculture and
postofice, in a plan for the employ
ment and distribution of laborers in the
United States.
The postoffice department is working
through its postmasters, officers In
charge of branch ~postofiices and rural
mail carriers, the department of COM
merce through its bureau of immigra-
ton and the department of agriculture
through its field officers throughout the
United States. The help of agricultural
experiment stations is particularly re-
quested to notify farmers and other
employers of labor of the Inauguration
of this plan to furnish farm or other
labor at all seasons of the year.
In order that prospective employers
and employees may avail themselves of
the opportunities of the plan the fol-
lowing method is to be adopted: Blanks
for the use of employers desiring help
and for persons seeking employment
may be had. ii Is announced. from post
masters, officers in charge of any
branch postofice or from rural mail
carriers.

Siiaqe For Ewes.

Almost any silage that is in good con
dition is good as a %succulent feed to
help in the making of milk, says the
Farm and Fireside. But it must not
be expected to bring ewes up to lamb
ing unless in moderation and in con-
nection with dry food. A good dry
ration consists of one-half pound oats
mixed with one-third its bulk of bran
and as much clover alfalfa OF meadow
hay as the animals will eat. The half
pound of oats may gradually be in
creased to one pound. A diet of silage
or any s~ucculent feed given alone is
likely to produce weakness and lack
Of stamina in the ives and result in
a small crop of poor lambs. Even
when the ewes and lambs go to pasture
it will pay to keep up a moderate grain
ration.

FEEDING YOUNG TURKEYS.
Wet Washes Often Responsible For
Bowel Trouble.

The first consideration in the sue
cessful raising of turkeys is to select
good. strong. vigorous stock for par
ents. writes a correspondent of the
Iowa Homestead. The earlier the
stock the better. My choice at this
time is the White Holland. | set one
turkey hen on twenty-one eggs, md II
there happen TO be more eggs l set
them under chicken hens at the same
time. When they all hatch the poults
are given to the mother turks.
l put them in a large, dry coop, in
which there is dry chaff scattered from
the horse After keeping
them confined n short time turn them
out IN the range. This is, of course, in
the country.
The poults are not fed until they are
t~wenty-four hours old. Then l parch
the shells from which they were hatch
ed and feed them with rolled oats three
times a day until they are about two
weeks old. Feed dry mashes. Wet
mashes are often responsible for the
bowel trouble that causes such heavy
losses. Crushed shells and grit are be-
fore both turkeys and chickens all the
time.
About the lice. I powder the hen
when she is taken from the nest with
her brood and continue to powder all
of the flock once a week until they are
about half grown. Choose some good
louise powder. There are many Of
them.
The young toms average from TWEEN
ty-four to twenty-seven pounds and
the hens from twelve to fourteen
pounds. NN

Earl Kitchener listened to what the

wal lord is stern and unbending, but
human. He knew the princes spirit

from q national point of view. 1t went
without saying that the prince was
eager to fight and would do his duty
just the same as any other officer, TAX
ing his chances of being killed or
wounded with the rest.
That was not what was worrying
Kitchener. He would mourn If any

SLOW CREAM SEPARATOR.

A good deal of loss of butter fat has
been occasioned by the fact that cream
s%eparators often are run at too low a
speed. The manufacturers have deter
mined at what speed the machine will
run at highest efficiency, and this is
ordinarily marked on the crank. Most
farmers, however, merely estimate the
speed without timing themselves, and
according to official observations they
usually turn too slowly and lose from 2
to 80 per cent of the butter fat. A
speed indicator similar to the mes in
use on automobiles is now being used
on cream separators, so that the proper
speed may always be kept and the ma
chine efficient.-American Agricultur-
list.

Treatment For Garget.

There is probably 10 better treat
ment for garget than frequent bathing
the udder with hot water, accompanied
by hand rubbing. The rubbing perhaps
is the more important part of the treat
ment. The milk, of course, should be
removed frequently, using'the milking
tube where it cannot be removed in
the ordinary manner In many cases
the application of the hot water treat
ment with the rubbing will effect a
cure. In the more stubborn cases the
use of an ointment of camphor gum
and melted lard is to be recommended.
This should be applied with liberal
rubbing.-Kansas Farmer.

Feed Cows Literally,

Do not forget that the COW which is
giving milk ought to have all the good
feed she can The more she
can eat the more milk she will put in
the pail if she is capable of producing
milk. If she is not capable of convert.
ing her feed into milk then she will be
putting on flesh and will be in better
form to rear a good calf or will sell for
more money when offered. If the cow
is young she will grow as a result OF
liberal feeding and will be a better
milk producer or il a stock COW will in
crease in value. There is every advan.
tage in supplying an animal with all
the feed it can clean up.-Kansas

matter where located, does not give
this branch of animal h~usbandry o
attention, writes S. s. Owen in the Ma
tional Stockman. OF course hogs will
not grow up like Topsy, but they Will
come nearer doing so than any other
farm animal. and herein is where they
make good. Hogs can be grown in any
of our states. and there is always a
good market for hogs and hog products
and at fair prices.
Men often wrangle over the question
of breed, and to us it seems foolish to
claim N breed to be far superior to
another. We are speaking of the stand
ard or well known breeds.
The farmer wants the kind of hog
that he can turn out in the grass and
clover fields and that will develop bone
and muscle while growing a crop of
corn or other grain to lay on the fat
when the hogs have attained b prop
er age and size to feed. We have no
variety of grass or clover that a hog
will not eat, and cOwpeas, soy beans
and peanuts are excellent for growing
and fattening hogs. Wheat middlings,
tankage, blackstrap molasses, etc, are
all good for feeding with Corn to lay on
fat in a hurry.
Hogs are easily kept in good health,
but their enemies are worms and lice.
However, any good dip will get the
lice, and there are many home RENE
dies, like ashes. charcoal, copperas,
etc., that will help to destroy worms.

Ration For Work Horses.

Where alfalfa hay is available corn
alone will give very good results for
the work horses, and one pound of
grain daily for every hundred pounds
of weight will generally give good re-
suits. In other words a horse weigh
ing 1000 pounds If fed ten pounds of
grain daily and a reasonable ration of
hay three times a day should be able to
do pretty good work and keep in good
flesh. A 1.G00 pound horse will re-
quire approximately sixteen pounds Of
grain a day.

Why Chicks. Die In the Shell.

If eggs are to be held before sitting,
they should be kept at a temperature
of from 40 to 90 degrees and should be
kept covered so the albumen will not
evaporate. When the chick comes out
of the shell it is made out of the al
bumen or white of the egg and has
used little or none of the yolk. If the
albumen has evaporated too much
there is not enough material to build a
chick large and strong enough to get
out of the shell. This is one of the
causes for chicks dying in the shell.
This evaporation may take place either
before or during Observation-Disclosures

The suckers or water sprouts that re-

then there will be some of them well

be bearing fruit of same kind as tree
