MEAT FOOD INCREASES EGGS
On Most Farms There Is Plenty Of
skim MIX and No Better Plan
Than Feeding TO Fowls.


In the poultry feeding experiments
made at the Purdue university it was
found that the addition Of some form
of meat food to the ration increased
the egg production about 100 eggs per
pullet per year. This would mean
about 10000 eggs in a farmers flock
Of 100 hens. The income per bird in
the pen fed no meat food was 81 cents.
The pen fed skim milk gave an in
come of $2.78, the highest in the ex-
pertinent, due to heavier winter egg
production.
Poultry raisers have long been ia
miliar with the schedule Of grains,
green's, grits and grubs,' but farmers
as a rule have paid too little attention
to the .grubs" part of it. This expert
ment shows the Importance of provid-
ing substitute for the bugs and
worms the fowls get during the sum
mer season when they are permitted
to range. On most farms there is
plenty of skim milk and no better use
can be made Of it than to feed it to
the chickens. Meat scrap and fish
scrap can be purchased if skim milk
is not available.

THE WHITE CARNATI0N
Ry BETTY PAKE.


The search for the pure white car
nation, one that will keep its pure
color for a long period, has never
been quite successful.
It is fact that the average vari
ETY. remains under cultivation but 9
few years, and they are constantly
running out. They must, therefore,, con.
stantly be replaced by newer and
more vigorous varieties grown from
the seed Often carnation that pro
duces beautiful white flowers for two
or three years fails entirely after that
time.
The common garden soil will not dc
for the carnation. It should be com
posed of about three-fourths rich, DARK
loan and one-fourth well-rotted ma
nure. This should be thoroughly
mixed several times and by Septem
Der the first cuttings should be placed
in boxes about five inches deep. Set
the plants about ten inches apart.
Syringe thoroughly with water until
they have a good start. The plants
should be staked in order to keep the
flowers above the foliage.
The soil should be frequently treat
ed with liquid manure COW, sheep
or hen droppings are excellent but
it should not be too strong, say about
the color OF weak tea.
If you want large flowers you mus,
.disbud the plants judiciously. Give
them plenty of water and ventilation
and syringe with tobacco extract tc
discourage the red spider.
If ported. they should be in pots
of from four to seven inches accord
ing to the size of the plants.
The best way Is to propagate them
In cold frames, leaving them uncov.
cred as long as possible. The early
frosts will not injure them. AS the
cold weather comes on, cover the
sashes, but ON bright, sunshiny DAYS
uncover and give them plenty of air
OF course in very severe weather
they must be thoroughly protected
against freezing. If they are proper.
~ cultivated they will bloom in a
month or six weeks.
While carnation growing is not par.
ticularly difficult. the plants must be
attended to with great regularity.
They are rich feeders and therefore
must have very rich soil. plenty OF
water and all the air and sun they
can get at the last in order to bring
them forward quickly.

BEST KIND OF WIRE FENCING
Much Depends on Purpose for Which
Fence Is lntended--GeneraI-Pur-
pose Fabric Favored.

The best kind of wire fencing to
erect depends on the purpose for
which the fence is used. On farm
where mixed types of live stock are
kept q general-purpose woven-wire
fabric is needed. If only cattle and
horses are to be pastured, :oarser
and less expensive woven fence can be
used. When fencing is needed to in
close extensive pastures where only
cattle or horses are to be kept the
excessive cost OF a woven-wire fence
would not make it's use desirable. for
losses of stock by injury on barbed
wire would not be large enough to
counterbalance the difference in the
cost Of maintaining the two different
kinds Of fences.

THE BEAUTY OF AYDRANGEAs
BY LIMA p. ROSE.

One of the best late Towering, hardy
shrubs is the hydrangea.
While there are other shrubs that
like better, this one seems to be a
favorite with the masses. 1t has the
merit of extreme hardness. easy cul-
ture, great Righteousness, late bloom
ing and persistency.
Its flowers lose their early white
ness as the season advances, but in
their pinky brown stage they are not
without attractiveness, and even after
snow comes they afford pleasing eff
fects when seen against asbackground
of pure white.
In planting the hydrangeas, would
never advise using them singly. They
are vastly more effective when
grouped. BY this means we secure
for 1t strength and dignity which
single specimens never have. Plant
ed thickly this plant produces grand
effect.
Those who are In search Of plant
that will grow in any soil and under
almost any condition, and has hardi.

BEES ARE FARMERS FRIENDS
Without Little Honey-Gatherers There
Would Be but Small Crop OF In
ferior Fruit.

Do not spray the fruit trees while
in bloom, for that viii kill the bees.
Many farmers do this every year,
when the bees are their best friends.
II 1t were not for the bees they
would get but little fruit, and that OF
very inferior quality, and yet they
will carelessly murder these little help
ers by the thousands.
Bees are valuable, and no man has a
right to put out poison and kin them.
1t is no advantage to spray the trees
when in bloom, and it is even better
to wait until the petals fall and spray
when there is nothing to prevent the
poison going into the heart of the
calyx before it closes.

SAVE ALL FERTILIZER
Concrete Pits Advocated for
Storage Of Manure.
Enormous Amount Of Waste Ia Fertil,
ity Prevented-ciear Dimensions of
Convenient Pit and Directions
for Building.

The use of concrete on the farm is
long past the experimental stage. It
is necessity. The first cost Of con-
crete is higher than for structures
built OF wood, but concrete is much
cheaper In the long run.
For maintaining or restoring the
fertility of the fields, there is nothing
better than barnyard manure. BY
the ordinary methods Of piling manure
on the ground or storing it in wooden
pens or boxes. 80 to so per cent Of its
fertility is lost This loss is brought
about in two ways: First, by teaching
or washing due to heavy rains; sec
ond, by fermentation or heating caused
by lack of sufficient moisture. Since
concrete pits are waterproof, manure
may be kept in them as moist as may
be necessary and such an enormous
waste in the fertility of the manure
may thus be entirely prevented. One
load of manure from concrete pit
is worth " to 2 loads of manure as
usually stored. Moreover, with con
crete pits the supply of manure is in
creased by all the liquid manure, the
richest part, from the barn cutters and
feeding floors.
Shallow manure pits do very well
where the manure can be frequently
hauled to the fields The walls and
floor should be ave inches thick. The

DAISIES
By {. M BENNINGTON.

No flower In all the garden series is
more beloved than the star-eyed daisy,
Or marguerite. And perhaps no
flower has undergone more decided
Improvement than this same flower,
which fills the meadow spaces with Its
nodding white and In better soil looks
statelier from the garden path.
The daisy should have a place in
the garden. They make delightful Dor
ilers to beds of taller-growing ANNALS,
and can be used very effectively in
beds of spring blooming bulbs.
Daisies may be sown at intervals for
succession, in shallow boxes of light,
rich soil. Cover the seed to about
three times their own thickness, and
press the soil firmly over them. Keep
the box in q warm window, greenhouse
or hotbed.
Transplant to new boxes and set out
In the open ground when danger from
frost is past. Daisies can be sown
in beds outside in August or Septem-
Der. They must be protected with
straw or litter through the winter and
transplanted to their permanent posi-
ton in the spring.
The orange daisy, South African
orange daisy. has become great fa-
vorite. It was introduced a few years
ago and has been made much of at the
flower shows and Is used largely on
big estates. It is excellent for Dor
1ers and as pot-plant.

ten inches. BY keeping the sides YER
teal only an inside form will be need
ed. Have enough woven-wire fencing
75s feet long to cover the bottom of
the pit. Lay the wire with an even
division Of the extra length, SO that
it may project upward into the side
walls. The wire is laid after two inches
thickness OF concrete has been put
in. The remaining three inches should
be tamped In after the wire has been
placed. Remove the forms after the
concrete has set four days. The pit
may be used after ten days.
Where manure is to be stored for a
conside rable length of time, larger pits
or basins are required. Such pits are
seldom made over five feet deep lin
the clear at the deeper endl and are
wide enough that the manure may be
loaded on a spreader in the pit and
drawn up roughened concrete In
cline or run. The slope for such
run must not be sleeper than one foot

should be eight inches thick and make
due allowance for same when digging.
