FIsHH0OK OF NEW DESIGN
Seems TO Have Many Advantages
Over Those That Are In General
Use by Anglers.

Increased efficiency and serviceabil-
ity are claimed for the new fishhook
which has been recently patented. The
inventor makes use of hook having
a tubular shank. provided with series
OF opposed openings in its walls, and
a rod TO which the line is connected
loosely engaged in said tubular shank,
and provided with expansible resilient
flukes or prongs adapted to project
through the opposed openings and
penetrate the body of the minnow or
other bait. The bait may be very cas-
lily and quickly engaged upon the hook
and the body Of the minnow is not
greatly mutilated. as the impaling
members extend through the body ad-
jacent to the tail Thus the minnow
will remain alive for long time. 1t
Is further apparent that as the fish,
hook is extremely simple in its con-
struction, the same may be produced

REARING CHICKS WITH HENS
Fowls Should Be Confined to Slightly
Darkened Nests at Hatehing Time
and Not Disturbed.

Sitting hens do best when confined
to slightly darkened nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching. In the latter case the chick
ems may be removed as soon as dry, In
a basket lined with flannel or some
other worm material, and kept near
fire until all the eggs are Matched. In
place of this the eggs may be removed
and placed under a quieter hen whose
eggs are Matching at the same time.
An incubator may also be used to
keep the earliest Matched chickens
warm, in case they are removed from
the nest.
II the eggs hatch unevenly, those
which are slow in Matching may be
placed under other hens, as hens often
get restless after a part Of the chick
ems are out, allowing the remaining
eggs to become cooled at the very
time when steady heat is necessary.
1t Is necessary to remove the egg
shells and any eggs which have not
Matched as soon as the Matching is
over Hens are fed as soon as pos
sible after the eggs are hatched, as
| feeding tends to keep them quiet;
otherwise hens will leave the nest.

TREE ROOTS NEED ATTENTION
One of Best Methods Is to Dip Bundle
in Pool of Water Upon Arrival
From Nursery.

When planting, all possible pains
should be taken to prevent the roots Of
apple trees from being exposed to the
air for even a few minutes. One or
the best methods is to dip the bundle
in a tank or pool Of water as soon as
it arrives, open in a shady, sheltered
place and heel in the roots in good,
moist soil while the holes are being
dug and the planting begun. The
holes, which should be large enough to
accommodate the roots without bend
ing or bruising, we prefer TO dig as
the trees are set, SO that the soil will
not lose its moisture by being exposed
to the sun and wind In planting, place
the tree in the hole little deeper than
1t stood in the nursery. A very con-
venient way OF preventing exposure
of the roots while carrying them from
the place where they are heeled in. is TO
prepare pail or small box OF mud and
place it in a wheelbarrow, using it TO
convey a portion of the trees with
their roots immersed in the mud TO
the planting ground. where they may
be taken out one at time as they
are needed without any exposure what.

BEES AND CLOVER SEED
Cross PoIIinization Through
Agency of Insect Is Efficient.
Maintenance Of Adequate Acreage OF
Glover Has Become Rather Sc
rious Problem on Account Of
Small Supply Of Seed.

Mechanical devices for pollinating
red clover have not been found sue
cessful by investigators who have
been studying the problem Of red clo-
yer seed production. On the other
hand, the investigators found that the
bumblebee is an efficient cross-pollina-
tor, and that unoer certain conditions
the honeybee may also be most useful.
For some years there has been an
insufficient supply OF homegrown red
clover seed. AS result not only has
the price OF the seed been high, but
large quantities Of foreign seed, which
Is frequently inferior to the domestic,
have had to be imported. In conse-
quence, the maintenance OF an ade-
quate clover acreage has become a
rather serious problem. To remedy
the situation, attempts have been made
to ascertain the minimum quantities
Of seed per acre required to secure a
satisfactory stand and the conditions
necessary TO maintain such stand.
In addition, efforts have been made to
develop a heavy seeding, hardy strain
of clover, and finally various mechani'
cal forms of pollination have been
experienced with.
A professional paper OF the United
States department OF agriculture has
recently been published containing re
suits OF experiments which show that
the yield of seed obtained on heads
which were not pollinated or which
were self-pollinated in different ways
was practically negligible. The actua
amount was less than one-half Of one
per cent, and this insignificant guam
tity, it is said, may be accounted fol
by accidental pollinatiOn from outside
sources. In contrast with these re
suits it was found that the humble
bee was able to pollinate from 80 tt
35 flowers minute in dry weather
When few nectar-producing plants ar
available it was found that the honey
bee also collects large quantities o
pollen from red clover and in the pro
cess pollinNation Of the flower
takes place.

Diet of Brain Workers Fixed.

Fish as a brain food is now regarded
as merely a superstition by modern
science. which puts the seal Of ap-
proval on the food which nourishes
the whole body with special refer
ence to the nervous system.
Dr. George NJ Beard says that brain
power is largely an expression through
the nerves of bodily vitality. In re-
cent treastise Doctor Beard points out
that the diet of brain workers should
be of large variety. delicately served,
abundantly nutritious. and that fresh
meat should be a prominent constitu-
ent.
In great crises. however. that call
for unusual exertion. the stomach
should be rested that the brain may
work the harder. but the deficiency OF
nutrition ought always to be supplied
in the first interval Of repose.

Near-East Railroads.

Our troops will not be enjoying
much in the way Of scenery on the
railway up country from Saloniki re-
marks the London Chronicle "Wheth-
er one goes through Adrianople to
Constantinople." says Sir Charles Eliot
cor through Uskub TO Salonikf, the
sides Of the railway look desolate and
lifeless; hills overgrown with dwarf
oak alternate with plains whose bare
ness is half covered with scrubby
grass. There are few signs of culti-
vation, and fewer of human habita-
tions. Oriental railways have a way
of only skirting the edge of cities. and
stations are sometimes several miles
from the places whose names they
bear. The deserted appearance of the
land is intensified by the Turkish prac-
tice of constructing towns (such as
Kumanovo and Chatalja) in depres-
sions of the undulating plains, where
IL ey are invisible at shCrt distance"

MANAGEMENT OF HERD BOAR
Him for Years-Feed Sparingy
of Fattening Foods.

It is not best to let the boar run
with the rest of the herd. 1t is too
common a practice to sell the boar
when the season is over. This is
largely the cause Of so many small
litters and weak-boned pigs. 1t is best
to get a good boar, and keep him for
a. few years, and as he natures his
pigs will be stronger and litters
larger.
Have a small yard Of grass if pos
sible, hog tight and away from the
sows, so he will not be worried. A
quarter of an acre will afford plenty Of
exercise in the open air. When grass
is not available, give him cut clover
or any other good green feed that he
will eat.
Feed sparingly OF fattening feeds
but give him feed that will keep him
growing if he is not fully developed.
Mill stuff, skim milk, clover, alfalfa or
anything that furnishes protein is ad-
visable. at all times keep supply or
ashes. salt and charcoal where he can
obtain it at will. 1t will do much to-
ward keeping him in good health.

COL. ALLAIRE COMMANDS
EXTREME AMERICAN OUT
POST IN NORTHERN MEXICO

Ell VALE SAN BUENA VENTURA.
Mexico, Dec. 30.-Responsibilities u.s.
ually assumed by brigadier generals
have fallen to the lot of Colonel w. H.
commander of this camp, the most
southern of the American unitive ex-
petition. Colonel Allaire, who is the
only regimental commander of the ten
who entered Mexico with the expedi-
ton last spring to retain his command,
not only has his regiment and the
comp in charge, but heads the 8th
Infantry brigade and directs maneuv-
ers for one cavalry and two infantry
regiments, several batteries of artil-
lery, company of engineers, signal
detachment and an aero squadron.
Holding the most exposed part of the
American line, the point Villa is ex-
pected to attack should he carry out
threats he is reputed to have made
against the expedition, the colonel not
only has to keep out patrols, but must
direct the work of the intelligence de-
partment, the chief duty of which Is
to keep in touch with the bandits
movements. The task of keeping sew
eral thousand red-blooded soldiers
healthy and as contented as may be in
this desolate spot also taxes his in
genuity to the utmost. A constant
source of potential trouble is the town
cf Fl vale, whose fCdr thousand res
idents formerly were considered Villa
sympathizers. and where the. now is
a Carranza garrison. This town is
less than two miles from the American
camp and strict precautions must be
taken to avoid clashes.
