FOWLS RELISH EARTHWORMS
Excellent Plan to Turn Over Some
Soil Each Day to Provide Hens
With Needed Food.

We know the hens are fond of
earthwOrms, and there are many NOR
sells of food selected from fresh earth
by the hens; therefore it is a good
plan to turn some earth over in the
pen each day with a spade, says a
writer in Farm and Home. This should
be done each morning as the earth
worms come to the surface each night,
then go back into the earth when the
sun comes up. Therefore the work
should be done between daylight and
Sun-up. If it cannot be done at this
time some boards or an old door should
be laid on the ground where the dig
ging is to be done. This protects the
worms so they remain near the sur-
face. A space of soil three feet
square turned over each morning will
furnish 20 hens with fresh earth to
work in during the day, and by NOV
ing Systematically about the yard 1t
will prevent the soil from becoming
contaminated with disease.

Dry Mash Hopper.

else by jumping after 1T, but u ex-
p~erience is that when fed Il moderate
amount of clover or ground alfalfa
they have no taste for any other kind
of green food.
Nothing equals cut clover for feed
ing the chickens. Alfalfa comes next,
but clover stands at the head and if
this is fed regularly and in moderate
quantities it will take the place of
all other green feeds.
Wet versus dry mash is a question
that has received much attention from
experimenterS during the past few
years. The general consensus of
opinion at the present time is that the
dry mash is the most desirable. Many
practical poultrymen, however, still
prefer the wet mash. Labor Is n of
the greatest problems that the poultry
raiser has to consider, consequently, If
he can find a method which will be
labor saving and yet give results, 1t Is
worthy of consideration. Dry mash
fed in hOppers is easier to handle than
any kind of wet mash. HOppers are
now made which are rat-proof, SAM
tary and convenient. These can be
filed once Il week and are found sat
isfactory. Experiments have proved
that eggs produced by hens fed a dry
mash are more fertile than those laid
by hens fed a wet mash. Wet mash is
slightly more forcing, is Inconvenience
to feed, and requires more care in
keeping the feeding vessels clean.

SALT USED AS A FERTILIZER
Results 1t Experiments Noted In ~
port Received ~ Department
Of Agriculture.

Fertilizer experiments with beets
and turnips on a variety of soils to
determine the extent to which COM
mon salt may be used as a substitute
for potash are noted in a report re-
Gently received by the department or
agriculture. Common salt was used
at the rate of 425 pounds per acre and
a 81 per cent potash salt at the rate
Of 175 pounds per acre.
The two salts gave practically the
same results with sugar beets, al
though neither materially increased
the yield. Turnips showed a smaller
potash requirement than sugar beets.
Where common salt was used in q
complete fertilizer mixture, increases
in crop yields were obtained. The
conclusion is reached that 81 per cent
potash salts may often be replaced by
common salt for fodder roots, beets
especially. 1t is also concluded that
increased yields produced by additions
of potash salts are not due solely to
the fact that potassium Is en- essential
nutritive element.

BENEFITS OF DRAINED SOILS
PIants-Increase in Crop Yield
May Be Expected.

A drained soil offers q deeper feed
ing ground for the plants. The roots
of most cultivated crops will not go
into saturated soil and will die if kept
under water without air FOR more than
a short time. The root zone Is then,
not the depth above the point of per-
manent saturation, but only that soil
into which the fluctuating whter-table
does not rise except for periods too
short to injure the plants seriously.
Drainage tends to increase this depth
to that Of the drains, thus making a
greater quantity Of food available.
Hence, an increase In crop yield may
ordinarily be expected from the drain
age Of such land already under cult
walton.

MIXED POULTRY FEEDS
Best Results Obtained by Study
ing Needs of Flock.
One Essential to Laying Hens Is tx.
ercise-Many Methods Resorted to
in Addition to Scattering
Grain Among Straw.
CBy R. G. WEATHERSTONE)

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE)
Hens will do better on mixed feeds
than on any other. A quart of corn
meal alone will not give as good re-
suits as a pint and a half of corn
meal mixed with some other food such
as cooked potatoes.
A great variety of chicken feed is
manufactured, consisting of mixtures
of various grains, dried ground bone,
dried blood, beef scraps and such
matter, but the best results can prob
ably be obtained by studying the needs
of ones flock and supplying them at
first hand.
Exercise is of course very essential
to laying hens when confined during
the laying eason To obtain this
many methods are resorted to in adj,
ditiOn to scattering grain among the
straw as for instance suspending a cab,
bage or a bunch of beets about two
feet above the floor in order to induce
the hens to jump up to reach it. II
the hens ere very hungry for this
sort of food they will get more exer

HORSES ALWAYS IN DEMAND
Time Is Not Recalled When Farmer
Breeders Were So Well Cleaned
Up on Draft Animals.

Like old wheat IN the bin are good
draft horses of salable age. Both are
ready money whenever the farmer
wants to cash them in. Reliable adj
vices from all sections of the horse
breeding country state that the time
is not recalled when farmer-breeders
were so we'll cleaned up o. their mar
ket horses, nor at such satisfactory
prices to the producer.
1t is highly significant that some Of
the big firms Of the cities are again in
evidence about the horse markets. The
man in the country who already enjoys
a ready market for the good ones
should prepare himself to supply a
still Rreater demand and at still mor
~remnnerative figures.

WAS FIRST BEAUTY DOCTOR
Cagliostro Lives in History as One
Who Tricked the Whole Aristoc-
raoy of Europe.

The first "beauty doctor" TO gain
wide celebrity was n Balsamo, son
of a poor shopkeeper in Palermo. but
best known by his assumed title of
Count Alessando di Cagliostro. Tie
was born 1T3 years ago and was edu-
Gated in a monastery. AS q young
man he went to Rome, where he met
and married a beautiful girl, says an
exchange.
The pair then travelled over Europe
under the names Of Count and Count
ess Cagliostro, going about in n mag
nificent c~oach-and-four and securing
access to the highest society of the
countries they visited. They made II
fortune by selling n wine Of Egypt
disposed of in drops as being more
precious than nectar, the use of which
was alleged to restore vigor and
youth and beauty to wornout and wrin-
killed. men and women The Countess
Seraphina adduced herself as II liv-
Ing evidence of the efficacy of the
elixir, averring that she was past sixty
and had a son who was a veteran sol
der. The count claimed to be an oc-
~togcnarian. Fer years they carried
on a highly profitable trade in Egyp-
tan drops, beauty waters, wrinkle
~eradicators and love philters, but ut
length, after long enjoying the favor of
cardinals and bishops, kings, princes
and mobiles, Cagliostro was thrown into
prison and his wife confined in a on
vent, where both died.

ADVANCE MADE BY TRACTORS
No Other Piece of Farm Machinery
Has Adjusted Itself So Quickly
to Farm Conditions.

Probably no other line of agricul-
tural machinery has made such mark
ed advance and adjustment to actual
farming conditions during the past few
years as have the tractors. 1t is now
possible to purchase TRACTORS of prac-
tically any desired size, weight and
power, adapted to all classes of farm
ing, from the S0-acre field to the farm
or ranch comprising many thousand
acres. The price OF the smaller ma
chimes is within reach Of farmers of
moderate means, and 1t Is, consequent
ly, in this direction that the greatest
improvements are being scored.
