it will not make them overfat. Care must be exercised with the heavy breeds, especially the Orpingtons, in feeding any dry mash, as they are in- clined to walk over to the feed hopper, fill up, and then become too lazy to scratch for any other feed It is a good practice with such breed to sim ply let them eat a small quantity, and then fix the hopper so that they will have to scratch for their feed for the rest of the day Exercise is one of the main things in egg production, and the entire system of feeding should be di- rected towards giving them plenty of exercise, and at the same time ensur- ing full crop when the bird goes to roost at night time. With the lighter breeds such as Leghorns, there is no trouble, whatever, with the birds be- coming too fat, but with the heavier breeds there is a tendency as above mentioned.-Nor'We Farmer.

Use fresh homemade bordeaux mix ture. In preparing it, follow directions exactly, as much depends on the way the ingredients are combined. Use good spray pump, operated at pres sure of 100 pounds or more. Spray thoroughly The time of application depends on the weather and the devel- opment of the crop. The disease usual ly appears when the fruit is nearly grown Watch carefully for the leaf spot and spray as soon as any appears. Jn any case, make an application two weeks before maturity and second a week later.
 Everyone who uses bordeaux mix ture frequently and in quantity will find it convenient to keep concentrated stock solutions on hand, as these keep indefinitely if the water which evap- crates is replaced
 Build an elevated platform to hold the barrels. Suspend 50 pounds oi copper sulphate to dissolve in 50- gallon barrel of water. Stake 50 pounds of lime in another barrel. Add water to make 50 gallons of lime milk. When bordeaux mixture is needed stir both stock barrels and take from each as many gallons as the formula calls | for in pounds. Dilute the copper sul. phate in one barrel and the lime milk in another, each with half the water, and let the two run together into the strainer of the spray tank.
 To those who expect to spray on a large scale a more detailed instruction about fungicides and their application than can be given here is available in Farmers Bulletin No 243, United States department of agriculture. Washington.

THE WINDOW GARDEN
5y L. M. BENNINGTON.

Pay strict attention to the potted plants as regards water and shade, for all plants require some shade during summer, especially from the afternoon sunshine.
 If you have plunged your pots in the border, see that they are turned once week, to prevent the roots striking through the drainage hole.
 Repot the calla lily in August.
 If you want cinerarias for Easter, you must plant the seeds in August. Prepare the seed bed carefully, and sprinkle the dustlike seeds on the sur face of the soil. Then cover with a piece of glass, which remove careful ly ais the seedlings appear. Water carefully and keep growing rapidly.
 If you have never seen the snap dragon of the present day and want spikes of beauty foot long to glad den you, SOW seeds of the improved snapdragon.
 When making your cuttings of geraniums and the like, keep the slips damp until well rooted. then pot. Keep all buds pinched off. The ole. ander will root quickly if slips are cut three or four inches long, put in a bottle of water and hung in shady place.

FLOWER HINTS FOR BEGINNER
By E. VAN BENTHuYsEN.

Flowers should have friable, very fertile soil in which to grow. Often they will make fine showing in very poor soil, but like humans they ap- preciate good care.
 Do not allow the flowers to form seeds. As soon as the flowers begin to fade, pinch them off; your flowers will keep in bloom much longer and the blooms will be larger if you pay attention to this little detail. Pansies and sweet peas particularly require looking after.
 Use your flowers in borders and around the sides of your lawn. Never make flower beds in the center of your lawn. A bit of green turf well cared for is an asset to any home grounds.
 If you want soft, thick turf on your lawn mow 1t often and let the clippings lie where they fall This keeps the soil from drying out toe much and helps fertilize it as it de cays.
 Support sweet peas on hedge od brush This is better than poultry netting. as the sun does not heat il and burn the tender tendrils of the clinging sweet pea.
 Plant your shade trees far enough away from the house to allow the afl to circulate around the house. Sun shine in the home is tonic and care should be exercised when planting that trees do not interfere or shade the windows too much.
 Do not plant your flowers too close together. Give them all chance fol

The ones that were not strained grew healthy from the start and are growing well. The ones that were strained grew nearly right the first year and died the second year, and the ones that cut little of the roots off lived in decline"
 The roots, when planting, should be spread out evenly in broad hole, not deep, the roots just barely covered. Where some, or most people, perhaps, make the mistake is in sticking the roots in bundle in deep hole.
 Trees planted in this -shion are bound to fail At least it has been my experience.
 Some people give the trees a pull up after planting. With this method I don't agree. There is no need of any more handling.
 It is important to press the roots. secondly, say after a month. because if the air gets down alongside the stem the tree is liable to fall.
 I have found always that the fall was the best time for planting. When they were put in later had more fail- ures.
 Another thing noticed in planting, if the young trees are any length of time pulled, they are pretty sure to Ego under

HANDLE TREES WITH CARE
 By W. R. GILBERT.

To my mind, there is not half enough attention paid to the way trees are put into the hole when planting. Some people think that because trees have roots they should grow nearly on top of every ditch in the country.
 For ten years I planted trees yearly Half the trees planted the first year failed because I didn't know how to plant properly. I said to myself there was something wrong somewhere, either in the trees or in my want of knowing how to plant.
 I experimented a couple of years and found out the secret of my failure. Half of the young trees are nearly use less for planting, on account of the way that they are pulled at the nurseries.
 Some men, when they go pulling trees in the nurseries, pull away just as though they were pulling turnips in hurry. skipping the roots together and throwing them away as if they were no more than rotten limbs.
 Young trees, to my mind. should be handled as carefully as eggs. They should be dug out of the ground.
 When the roots are strained in the pulling they grow the first year badly and then die away. I examined the roots of a dozen young trees; there were two strained, and I cut the roots short in two more, for experiments sake.

BOIL WEEvIL IS EXPENSIVE
Is Destruction of Birds by Thoughtless Men.

Destruction of birds, according to statement made by Col. G. o. Shields, president of the League of American Sportsmen, costs the Unit ed States billion dollars year Got. ton growers" he said, lose $100,000,- 900 year by the boil weevil Why? Because the quails. the prairie chick. ems, the meadow larks and other birds which were formerly there in mil. lions, have been swept away by thoughtless men and boys"
 The chinch bug costs wheat grow. CTS another $100,000,000, he said, and the Hessian fly $20O,000,000.
 Tt takes more than 24,000 chinch bugs to weigh an ounce and nearly 50,000 Hessian flies to weigh the same" he continued. "A quail killed by an expert in Ohio had in it's crop 1,200 chinch bugs; another killed in Kansas wheat field had 1000 Hes sian flies"
 Colonel Shields added that potato growers pay s17,000,000 a year for spraying poisons, and remarked that quail slain in Pennsylvania had 27 potato bugs in it's crop. He said that Mrs. Margaret M Nice of the faculty of the Massachusetts State university after long study. estimated that a quail destroys 75,000 bugs and 6,0OO,. 900 weeds seeds annually.

 It is desirable in growing water melons for market that they follow a crop of clover or cowpeas. They should be rotated with other crops, and not planted on the same ground again for three or four years.
 The preparation of the land consists in thorough cultivation at intervals of three or four weeks before the seed is planted. This is for the purpose of exterminating the weed seed and put ting the soil in the best possible condi- tion Tn Georgia. rather shallow plow- ing, followed by thorough pulveriza- ton with the disk harrow, is practiced.

Eggs saved for incubators, or for matching in any manner, should be kept in cool, well-ventilated place, and not too dry, so as to retain the moisture and keep the germ in good. healthy condition. We keep our eggs in bran, using enough to hold the egg up on the small end, says writer in an exchange. We do not believe eggs cared for in this manner need any turning before being incubated. Each egg must stand alone, and none should be- piled on top. Eggs saved for only two or three days can be kept in a basket or flat box, but it is not we'll to have too many layers.

TESTING ALL ROAD MATERIAL
Hardness, Toughness and Bindino Power of Rock Should Be Deter
 mined-QuaIities Defined.

Prepared by the United States Depart-
 ment of Agriculture
 Counties or communities intending to build water-bound macadam roads run considerable risk of failure un- less they have the rock they are to use tested for hardness, toughness, and binding power. These are the uuali- ties, in the opinion of the engineers of the office of public roads and ru- ral engineering of the department. which experience has shown to he most essential to the endurance of a road In a recent technical paper de signed to assist engineers in making accurate laboratory tests of road ma terial, the road specialists define these qualities as follows:
 Hardness is the property rock should possess in order to resist sue cessfully the abrasive action of traffic. especially iron-tired vehicles, which tend to grind to dust the individual fragments of rock forming the wear- ing course of macadam road.
 'Toughness is the property a rock should possess to resist successfully fracture under the impact of traffic
 Binding power, or cementing values as it is more frequently called, is the ability which the dust of a rock should possess or develop by contact with Wa ter so as to hind or cement the larger rock fragments together and prevent their displacement under the shearing action of traffic. This property is es- peeially valuable in water-bound macadam construction, since it is de- pended upon to maintain the integ- rity of the wearing course as the road surface is worn off by traffic"
 The use of rock suited to withstand the wear of traffic is regarded as so important that the department offers

leaves are covered with irregular dark, dead spots and may die before the melons are ripe. The trouble de- velops on the fruit in the form of water-soaked and later sunken spots of varying size, which come to have a pink center made up of masses of the fungus spores. As the disease pro- gresses the melons decay. This is anthracnose, and is caused by a para sitic fungus related to those which produce the apple bitter-rot and pod spot of bean The fungus causing watermelon anthracnose attacks GU cumbers, cantaloupes and squashes but probably not, as rule, any other cultivated crops. Warm and moist or rainy weather is especially favorable to the spread and development of anthracnose and for this reason ii was more prevalent than usual last season. The losses were particularly severe in some districts where melons are grown on large scale for carload shipments.
 The United States department of agriculture has found that the disease can be controlled by spraying with bordeaux mixture, and trials of this treatment are recommended. The methods to be employed are substan- tially those in use for potatoes, cucum- bers and other truck crops. The fol lowing points should be observed to insure success
