. POULTRY NOTES..

Poultry manure makes a most excel
lent dressing for soil where flowers are
to be grown. The droppings Of fowls
are rich in nitrogen, which stimulates
growth Of plants, fine foliage and
pretty flowers.
There are several signs that indicate
good health-a bright red comb, activ-
ity, readiness for food and a glossy
and smooth appearance Of the feathers.
There is not a farm in the country
where farming is seriously attempted
at all where it is necessary to try to
raise chickens without decent provision
for the safety Of the flock and for the
convenience Of the attendant.
Charcoal and grit should be kept
where the hens have free access to it.
Manure will renovate the wornout
meadow or pastures.
Sorting eggs according to size and
color is q good plan.
Many chicks die from o~vercrowding
in the brooder.
Very large eggs are generally dou.
Bile .yolked. They may hatch, IL incu-
bated, but in most cases do not. The
chances Of getting chickens from dou-
BILE yolked eggs are less than one In a
hundred.

Ways to Seal the SiIo.

In a good silo the contents are pro-
tected from the air on all sides except
the top. The air always spoils some
Of the silage on the top unless feeding
is begun as soon as the silo is filled.
Various methods for preventing this
waste have been tried. One is to cover
the silage with straw and then soak
this protecting layer well with water.
This keeps out the air fairly we'll and
the waste is only slight. Another
method is to SOW oats on top. of the
silage. When they terminate the dense
mass excludes the air.
The simplest and probably the most
practical method is to remove the ears
from the last three or four loads Of
c%ornstalks brought to the ensilage cut
ter and then run just the stalks
through. In that way the corn itself
is not wasted and the loss from the
stalks Is but slight.

MATERIALS that LAST.
Tile, Brick and Concrete Work We'll In
Combination,

Tile, Brick and Concrete Work We'll In
Combination.
Taking tile, brick and concrete all to-
gether, we have three excellent build
ing materials, and they work we'll in
combination with each other. Concrete
is a general favorite for foundations,
piers, walks, platforms and things
built near the ground. 1t sets solid and
makes an excellent base for most any
thing, says D. S. Burch in Farm and
Fireside.
Tile and brick are used largely for
walls and work higher up. All three
materials can be REINFORCED by rods or
wires laid in the joints. And, by the
way, barbed wire and woven wire are
both good as reinforcing material. In
tile special grooves are made to receive
reinforcement. Thus, in making a tile
silo you have your hoops just the same
as for a wood silo, but they are right
in the wall, firmly embedded so they
can't slip up or down and protected
forever from rust. The reason you can
conceal the hoops is because tile neither
shrinks nor swells, and there would
never be any occasion to touch the
hoops.
I would hesitate to say that any
building is fireproof, but certainly
neither concrete, brick nor tile can
burn or be greatly harmed, even
though all the contents Of a building
burned up. Brick, for instance, is made
by heating clay to 5000 degrees f. and
can't burn any more. Tile and cement
are also the direct products Of furnace
heat hot enough to melt the ordinary
metals.
Wood is an excellent building mate
rial because it is SO easy to handle.
You can saw, chisel and shape it any
way you want and then fasten it to-
gether with nails, screws or bolts.
Every town has at least one lumber
yard, and wood is easy to get. Cement,
brick and tile are harder to procure in
some localities and a little more diff
cult to work with, but when you are all
through and you clean off your trowel
you feel just a little better satisfied,
because what you have built is perma-
nent, freproof and will need neither
painting nor repairs for years to come.
You can safely cut down your insur-
ance policies, because there is less to
burn up, but the chances are you'll
never have a fire.

Hitch For Wire Fence.

There are numerous methods Of at
taching wire fencing to concrete posts.
Some makers place staples or wire
loops in the green concrete; others
make holes in the posts. The former
method Is not desirable because the
fastener cannot be located exactly
where the wire Of the fencing will
come when the post is set in the
ground. Then, too, the fastener will
eventually rust or break off and will
thus injure the looks Of the post. On
the other hand, holes through the posts
weaken them, and therefore this meth
cd Is In general unsatisfactory.

way of fastening a wire fence to a con.

AiIment Largely Result Of Hogs PiIins
Up In Sleeping Quarters.
It is the belief Of DR.. G. G. Lipp of
the South Dakota experiment station
that pneumonia in pigs is preventable.
During the winter months this ailment
is largely the result of hogs piling up
in their sleeping quarters and in turn
being exposed to the cruel elements of
winter. It is a fatal disease, and for
that reason every swine breeder should
consider it worth while to take certain
precautions, according to DR.. Lpp.
The trouble is prevented in a large
measure by taking time during the
winter to e that the hoghouse is
warm enough so that the hogs will not
pile up and to enforce the policy Of
using plenty Of dry bedding. If the
hogs sleep on a cement floor and this is

Robbing or Saving the, Soil.

hoooin9 or saving the Soil.
The farmer who robs his soil is saw.
ing off the limb upon which he is sit
ting. Your deed calls for the subsoil as
well as the surface soil, and the SUBJ
soil is a mine Of fertility and a well Of
water if properly utilized. T.
Lime is the one thing most needed by
the average rundown soil. Phospho-
rus, next to lime, is the mineral plant
food probably most needed by the av-
erage unproduciye soil. Manure as
regularly as you harvest. Stable ma
nure is the best form Of fertilizer.
Where stable manure is not available
green manure must be used.
Proper tillage becomes more impor-
tant as the farm grows older until on
worn out" farms it Is a factor Of chief
Importance. Tillage gives the crop
more soil surface on which to feed
without increasing your taxes, makes
existing plant food more available,
gives air to the roots, regulates water
supply and kills weeds. Where the
land lacks natural drainage everything
else depends on how thoroughly the
soil is ditched Or tiled.

HITCH FOR WIRE FENCE.
crete post is by encircling the post
with a wire n size less than the cor
responding wire in the fence proper
and by twisting this wire around the
strand Of the fence. This is done in
two ways. The fastening wire is placed
around the post, twisted upon itself
and then to the fence wire, or one end
Of the fastening wire is twisted around
the fence wire, and the free end is
then carried around the post and twist
ed on the other side to the same wire.
Either plan is good, but care must be
taken to draw the fastening wire tight,
or else stock trying to get through the
fence may raise or crush down the
fencing with their heads. If any trou-
BILE is experienced the post should be
roughened at the fastening point with
a cold chisel.
Expansion and contraction Of the
fence, due to heat and cold, are cared
for by the tension, curves or "kinks' in
the woven wire fencing, and no fear
may be felt in drawing the fastening
wires as tight as necessary. Wooden
mailing strips should never be imbed-
ded in the posts, for moisture will
swell the wood and crack the concrete.

SUPREME COURT OF U. S.
DENIES PLEA FOR REVIEW
Declines to Consider Sixteen Califor-
MIA Cases Involving Title to
River Front Land.

The Supreme Court of the United
States today refused to review dismiss
sal by California federal courts of six
teen suits contesting title of the South
ern Pacific railroad to river front land
at Sacramento, Cal, on which the rail-
road terminals are located. Denial of
review, the plaintiffs asserted, would
give the railroad perpetual control of
the terminal property.
The courts order. which was without
an opinion, in effect sustains dismissal
of the suits to oust the Southern Pa
cific from it's waterfront terminal.
The California district and circuit
courts held that. as the railroad was
a public service corporation. and in
possession of the land fifty years, the
plaintiffs could not maintain their
suits in equity setting up adverse title,
but could only sue for damages for any
wrongful deprivation of property.
