SOME FARM TIPS.

DO not allow pruning to litter the
yard or orchard. BE sure to burn and
return the ashes to the soil.
Good drainage is absolutely essential
to the successful growth of potatoes.
The good dairy COW eats largely, di-
geStS amply and milks ~ahunlantly.
1T is sometimes a good plan to top
work apple or plum trees With other
varieties i'll order to be sure of good
pullilation.
Don't try to sell Your produce in a
market that is already ovcrSupplicd.
Home canning is growing by leaps
and bounds.
Pure fresh water should be given to
calves us soon as they have learned to
drink.
Don't think that spraying alone will
insure good fruit: pruning and crltiva-
ton are equally essential.

VIA disparity in the ages too"
Out of the 10000 weddinrs in +l,o
state last year there were less than
200 where the bride was moro th,n
1our years older than the groom.
Within six months of the present
Il year there are more than 500
already recorded. The Indications ara
that there is going to be a flood of old
maids with husbands before the cnd
of the year.
In january the girls of the uncertain
age type did not seem to have m,1ch
luck. The unusual proportion was
maintained throughout that month. In
February there werc IL few more. and
by March the weddings where the bride
was Older than the groom were bccom-
ing numerous. In April and May the
number kept constantly increasing, and
during june there has been a veritablc
flood of these leap year weddings.
The chances are that the records do
not tel! the actual truth about this
seniority either. There IRE numerous
known cases where an affidavit is pre-
scented showing that the contracting
parties arc Of legal age but not giv-
ing any specific age. This is a s,lspi-
cious circumstance. Tho records show
a higher percentage Of these cases thus
far this year than in any previous
year.
And there is another unusual fca-
ture in the leap veal weddings. An
unusual number slip away from home,

is the senior. Nearly onc-half Of the

captured a man much younger than

There Will be no comfort, no peace, for

impossible for her to produce milk

will decline in milk flow. never to re-

Labor Clearing House Next.

New York, Aug. 1o.-A clearing
house for labor. under the direction Of
the immigration bureau at Ellis island,

The association has agreed to give its
aid, although it entered a protest
against Il proposal that the clearing
house shall not supply labor where
strikes or l%OckoutS exist.
Under the plan the association will
be the central organization for en-
ploycrs needing labor. Employers will
let the association know what labor
they need, and the association will for
ward requests to the clearing house,
which will supply workers when it
can.

may not equal the rate of increase of
the meat eating population.
The available supply of meat in this
country would be much greater were 1t
not for the enormous losses caused by
disease and exposure. In the past six
teen years it is estimated that about
1.41o.OOO cattle have died annually
from disease and approximately a mil
lion and a half from exposure. In
1914 at least 100000 hogs died of
cholera.
The report points ont that the United
States is not only the greatest meat
eating nation, but the greatest produc-
er. Approximately twice as much is
as in Germany before the
war. and the total normal consumption
is less than in Germany. The per cap
ita consumption in the United States
also is far h greatest except in Aus
tralia and New Zealand.
In the fiscal year 1914-15 the United
States imported moro beef of all kinds
than it exported.

CHICKS FEATHERS
Very Essential to Give Proper
Food In First Year.
BUILDS UP BONE MATERIAL.
A Combination Of Wheat Bran, OIL
meal and Beef Scrap, Which Has
Been Tried Successfully by an Elk
pert In Growing Feathers.

We know that during the first year
of a chicks life the feathers are lost
and renewed moro than at any other
time, writes Il correspondent of the
Albany Knickcrbocker Press. 1t is cS-
s%ential. then. that these chicks have
proper food for the growth of feathers
and the bone material which makes up
the frame of the chick.
We have found that Il combination of
wheat bran. clinical and beef scrap
will help them very materially in
growing feathers and bone. The wheat
bran is usually fed in hoppers alone.
and they are permitted to eat what
they will of it. This is kent before
themffrom the very start. The clinical
is mixed in With the dry mash later on
or when they are about two months
old. The beef scrap is fed Sparinely at
first and increased as the chicks GROW.
1t is well to say right here that it will
pay any one to purchase the Very best
grade of beef scrap that they can Sc
cure-the best is none too good.
One thing that is often neglected is
the providing of shade for the growing
chicks. This should be arranged for
mandy your attention. The hot summer
