HOUSE FOR LAYING PULLETS
Old Hens Keep Young Ones In Con.
slant State of Fear, Which VIII
Retard Egg Production.

The -pullets that have begun to lay
or give promise of early laying should
be housed away from the old stock.
Pullets require more food than old
hens, and IL the hens and pullets are
kept in the same house and fed to-
gether, either the old hens will eat
too much and thus get too fat to lay,
or the pullets will get insufficient food
to keep up egg production and main
tain bodily growth at the same time
If housed together, the old hens will
fight the pullets and keep them in a
constant state of fear which will
diminish or retard egg production.
If the farmer has but one poultry
house, the young stock can be sepa
rated from the old by merely running
wire. partition through the middle

She was so absorbed in the scene that
she did not notice when the hall door

WHEN TO WEAN LITTLE PIGS
Many Of Best Hog Men Take All
Young Animals Away at Same
Time-Good Plan Outlined

Should the pigs be weaned at six to
eight weeks of age, OF should they be
allowed to run with the sows until
the sows wean them?
Sows which raise two filters a year
had best wean their spring litter at
six to eight weeks of age. Some farm
ers who keep sows only for one litter
are in favor of early weaving so that
the sows may be dried off rapidly and
fattened
II the pigs are to be weaned early,
they must be taught to eat grain long
before they are weaned. Two or three
weeks old pigs will learn to nibble a
little. A good grain mixture is so
parts of corn, 20 parts of middlings,
10 parts of tankage or wheat meal,
parts of oats and parts of oil
meal. If skinned milk may be had
it should certainly be fed, especially
just after weaving time.
Many Of our best hog men now wean
their pigs early and wean them all at
the same time. The day before wean-
ing they put the sows and pigs to-
gether in a pen by themselves and give
the sows little or no food that day.
The pigs are allowed to drain the
sows' udders and the next day the
pigs are put in good pasture by
themselves and given a nutritious ra-
ton, skim milk being fed if it IL
available. The sows are put on short
pasture and for the first day or two
are given plenty to drink but little to
eat. In a short time they are dried
up completely and they may be given
a good ration to get them in condition
for breeding or for market.

Table Takes Root In Yard.

S. S. Wiser of Reading, Pa, had
a unique experience with a willow
wood table which he placed in his
yard several weeks ago. From this
experience he is convinced that the
year 1915 will bring bumper crops
Wiser discovered a few days ago
that the table had sprouted and had
begun to bud and shoot When he
tried to remove the piece of furniture
he found that the four legs had taken
root in the soil and the table is now
part OF the vegetation of the yard
Should he now wish to remove the
table he will have to dig.

Something About Caucasia.
Concerning Caucasia, where the
Turks and the Russian are renewing
that long ago conflict that has existed
between the Turk and the Muscovite,
the National Geographic society is
sued the following statement:
Caucasia is a potpourri of races,
tongues and religions. Nowhere else
in the world can one find on a similar
area so many types of peoples, so
many languages and dialects, so many
religions and sects thereof. The eau
casus mountains, for the most part,
stretch above fruitful land, and every
folk-stream which flowed their way
has left eddies within their closed,
world-isolated valleys.
The cosmopolitanism of New York
is provincial compared with the mag
nificent, regardless confusion of eau
casian peoples. There are some seven
ty dialects strange to the West spoken
within it's boundaries, while business,
touring engineering and other tech
niques bring most of the other Ian
guages in. In this modern Babel dwell
Georgians, Imeritians, Chevsurs,
Lazes, Mingrelians, Pshavs, Swanit-
tians, Abkhasians, Circassians, Kebar-
dams, Ossetes, Avars, Chechinzes,
Jews, Russians of several varieties,

Daigs, Lesghians, Kazy-Kumyksh,
Tush, Ingush, Greeks and others of the
Occident. Caucasia, indeed, may be
said to be a place prominently de-
voted to language-all kinds and COM
plexions of speech being native there
in bewildering richness.
Between Black and Caspian Sea.
Caucasia is the broad, stocky 18TH
mus which, extending from the south
east corner of Europe to Asia, divides
the Black and Caspian seas. It's area
is about 100000 square miles, or more
than four times larger than the state
of Ohio 1t has good ports upon both
the Black and Caspian seas, Batum
on the one, and Baku on the other.
The famous Apsheron peninsula is one
of the richest of the worlds oil fields,
and, in general the Caucasus is the
mineral treasury of all the Russias.
The grain, grazing and fruit lands of
this government are very bountiful
and could be turned into the richest
of garden and farming spots with a
little modern care. Coal is produced.
Among the ores now mostly developed
for commerce are copper, manganese,
mercury, sulphur, iron, cobalt and
salt.
Europe's barrier against southeast
ern Asia, the Caucasus range
stretches across the middle lands Of
Caucasia, dividing the government in
to Ciscaucasia and Transcaucasia. In
the mountainous central region is to be
found some of the most beautiful
scenery in the world.
Tue population Of Caucasia is most
ly agricultural in its pursuits. 1t is
backward and for the most part, be
yond an abundance of grains and
fruits, has no other desires. Natural
ly, therefore, the industries of modern
life have only made negligible begin
nings.

city's walls, where millions upon mil
lions of past Shias have turned the
sands to clay. This enormous grave
yard about the city is not the least
part of its weird fascination. The des-
ert trail to the sacred city is empty,
barren and dead It is an unattrac-
tive trail whose silence is broken only
by fanatic pilgrims and by caravans
transporting corpses to the Shia Nee
ca of the dead.
Nedjef is a great city. Not a green
thing-a plant, shrub, or tree-lives
within its dry hot limits. 1t is built
on high plain of soft sandstone. The
narrow, crooked streets, in many
places mere passages three or four feet
wide, wind like jungle paths. One of
the strange features of this strange
city is it's cellars. In summer the
fierce heat drives the painting people
deep down into the earth, like rats in
hole. Beneath every house is a eel
lar, burrowed mine-like to amazing
depths; one l explored reached an as
toundingly low level, being more than
one hundred feet below the street.
