throw the feed a. them and gather
the eggs.
The business must be learned either
by study or experience, sometimes sad
experience.
The problem OF proper feeding alone
calls for thought. good Judgment
and careful watching OF the tock on
the part of even those who have had
considerable experience with noutry.
1t requires close observation and at
tention to detail to see that nock OF
hens is fed enough, yet not too much,
and that they are compelled to
take exercise to keep them in good con
dition.
Another thing that often causes
failure is carelessness. After long
spell of taking good care of the fowls
watching their feeding and working
with and taking thought for them. one
is apt to have spell of forgetfulness
or carelessness and think, "Oh, I'm
so tired Of hens | guess they
can get along without me fussing so
much" etc. and so the houses are not
cleaned and they are fed hit or miss
for a time.
Take my word for 1t, such an attack
Of "tiredness' is paid for and dearly
and the person indulging in 1t will
have some valuable experience and
fewer eggs If not fewer hens before
the flock is brought back to condi
ton
1t is a great mistake also to keep
old hens that are past their useful
mes for laying eggs. Often enough
of these are kept to eat up the profits
from the entire flock and the indus
trious hens. as well as the business
are condemned because the owner
hasn't the sense or the energy or the
courage to Gull out the old hens and
sell them.
Perhaps you hate TO make your
flock SO small but what Is the use OF
caritg for and feeding 100 hens TO
get no more eggs than you would from
so with hall the expense of feed?
Another place where the profits are
lost. often enough to cause failure.

CORN SUCKERS A HINDRANCE?
Leaves Seem to Perform Useful Office
In Absorbing Nutritive Elements
From Atmosphere.

Many farmers are possessed with
the idea that the suckers or earlesa
stalks, which grow from an earbear.
ing stalk of corn. are a hindrance to
the best growth of the latter; and
valuable hours are sometimes spent
in removing them. But. according to
Wallace's Farmer. actual experiments
during two successive years, on Ne
braska farms, demonstrated that corn
with the suckers left undisturbed
outyicded that from which the suck
ers had been removed Their leaves.
like the others, would seem to per
form a useful office in absorbing nu-
tritive elements from the atmosphere,
for the benefit OF the ear on the main

GOOD RULES FOR MARKETING
Every Farmer Growing Small Grains
Should Have Tanning Mi'i-Refuse
Good for Stock.

Prices of all farm products are
now very remunerative. Grain OF
all kinds Is not as high as formerl7.
yet prices are fairly profitable; there
Is good foreign and home market
for wheat, corn and oats. with a
prospect OF further advance In price
before the new crop ctr be harvested.
Every farmer growing wheat and corn
for market should have a good fan
ming mill. Wheat as 1t comes from
the thresher usually has considerable
cookie, garlic and other weed seeds
and also many small and shriveled
grains of wheat. This refuse when
ground makes excellent feed for stock.
but is not fit for market. Run your
,Iheat through the fan once or twice
and aim to get the best price: it will
pay handsomely. Shelled corn needs
cleaning before being shipped. Hay
and fodder are high
There has been great rush of half
fed cattle, sheep and hogs to mar
ket Those who have the feed and
can hold on to animals intended for
slaughter will no doubt get well paid.
While the feeding of cattle In the
eastern states is not as profitable as
In the West. yet taking one year with
another. the careful farmer can get
very fair prices for the corn and fod
der fed-and has in addition many
loads OF rich manure, which. when
properly applied to the land. will keep
up the productiveness of his farm.
We have followed this old method
and find many advantages in it, the
most important one-giving steady
and remunerative employment to the
help throughout the year. says writer
in Baltimore American. If you have re-
liable help. pay them well and hold
IN to them. Each farmer must yer
else his own judgment when to sell.
AS rule it is best to sell when
fair price can be had.

are made in other businesses-lack or
knowledge or lack Of attention to the
business, or for some heavy handicap
such as poor location or lack of sufti-
cient capital to go into the business
right.
great many people get their ideas
of the profits to be made in keeping
poultry from poultry books and papers
written by those who are advertising
some special breed OF poultry or
have for sale some special poultry
food or have on hand some other ak
to grind.
Because of this the profits are fig
ured too high for ordinary poultry
keepers to reach. OF course 1t is not
to be denied that in some cases the
profit from one hen for year may be
three dollars. have made it myself.
but commonly 1t is apt to be nearer
one dollar.
A per son starting in the poultry bust
ness with the larger profits in mind
will not SO closely watch the expenses
and this must be carefully looked
after to make a success. in this as
in any other business.
The profit is always greater pro-
portiOnately from a small flock OF
hens than from a large one. There
are several reasons for this. The
smaller fiocks have better chance on
the range, are sure not to be over
crowded and there are 80 few Of them
that the table scraps which they usu-
ally get will do them some good and
they individually receive more atten-
ton In every way.
Not knowing these things. begin
ner thinks if he can make profit Of
say 81 a hen from flock of 20 hens,
making a total profit of $40. then he
can make $1,000 from flock OF 500
hens, but he will fird this quite a diff
ferent proposition.
Usually the first thing he does when
he increases his flock is to overcrowd
eggs while the cost of keeping each
hen is as much as though Sc laid
an egg every day. Besides this. the
fowls soon get sick when they are
crowded and then there is a loss to
90 on the debit side of their account.
Another mistake is In thinking that
anyone without any knowledge OF the
work can give the hens the proper
care and that all there is to do is to

Southern Road Expends Large
Sums in Improvements.

Washington, D. c., February o.
For every dollar which the south
paid to Southern Railway Compa'
ny for transportation during De-
cember, 1915, the company paid te
individuals and industries located
in the south for labor, material
supplies and other purposes Sl.l7,
this being due to the large amounts
expended for construction purposes.
The total amount disbursed by
the company during December for
labor, Material, supplies and other
purposes was S6,S61,5l6 of which
$5,os2,6s7 or s6.7l per cent was
paid to individuals and industries
located in the south, this being
$743,4Os in excess of the total
moneys paid by the south for trans
portation, according to figures an
nounced by Comptrolle, A. H.
Plant.
The expenditures by the compa.
ny during December for i'm
provements to its roadway and
structures amounted to $64s, ,626.6 SO
as against ss45,5O446 during De-
cember, 1914, and Sle2,5l9.45 dur
ing December, 1918.
During the six months ending
with December the expenditures for
improvements to roadway and
structures were S3,437, 7,391.4o as
against $4, 436,265.l7 for the same
period in 1914 and $l,4s2,653.29
