Lloyd in such way that his eye was
filled with cement Treatment failed
to give the man relief and in six weeks
he had lost sight in that eye. The
court ruled that he should be paid 81 a

ruled that the loss of an eye was a
blemish that no amount of money could
compensate when attorneys for the con-
tractors asserted that Lloyd was max

Comments.

Get the Hays fever.
The two bright ''stars" in the West
these evenings, are Venus and Jupiter.
Venus is the brighter one of the two
and is now above Jupiter.
There are at least eight planets re-
volving around the sun. Of these
Venus is the second in distance from
the sun; the earth is third and Jupiter
is fifth.
Jupiter is the largest of the planets
but being farther away from US than
Venus, does not look as bright
Mercury, which is nearest to the sun,
is seldom seen because it is so close to
the sun; in fact, many people never see
it in lifetime. But it can be seen
now just before daybreak, rising ahead
of the sun.

If you have not yet put manure on

never. Last fall would have been still
better.
Did you ever try a hot bed or a cold

MUCH DEPENDS ON BREEDERS
Vigorous, Hardy and Resistant
to All Diseases.

Whether a farmer will raise better
poultry this year than he did last will
depend primarily upon the kind of
stock that is used for breeding Every
baby chick is entitled to be well born.
Unless it's parents are strong, vigor-
Gus, hardy and resistant to disease,
poor hatch and weak, puny chicks
will result, say the poultrymen at Iowa
state college.
The use of low vitality breeders is
the most frequent cause of poor incu-
batting success and high death rate in
brooding Chicks Matched from poor
breeding stock never reach the size of
well-bred individuals. The pullets do
not begin laying until the following
spring and then hardly enough to pay
for their feed.
II the flock is to be improved, only
those birds that show size, vigor and
egg producing qualities should be used
as breeders Twenty-Five good females
in a roomy pen with a couple Of good
males will furnish eggs for incubation
that will produce chicks worth while,
ones that will grow into big fellows
worth a good price on the market.
The pullets from such mating mature
rapidly and are in condition to lay
the winter eggs"

GRADING THE LITTLE CHICKS
Grade According to Size and visor or
Arrange Things So Weak Ones
Are Comfortable.

Owing to differences in the vigor OF
parent stock, age of eggs when incu-
bated, and other causes, there are al
ways differences in the vitality of the
chicks, and these manifest themselves
very quickly. The stronger chicks
shove the weaker away from the food,
crowd them out of the sunniest spots
in the brooder, and take the best of
things generally.
Since the most vigorous chicks are
the most valuable. we do not like to
discourage this disposition to thrive,
but strong chicks should not thrive
at the expense of the weak AS soon
as there is a perceptible difference
In the size Of the chicks, either grade
the chicks according to size, or tx
things SO the weak chicks can eat By
themselves.

TIME FOR SHEARING SHEEP
in Season for Heavier and
Better Fleece.

Some people have the idea that il
sheep are not shorn until late in the
season the fleece will be heavier and
better. This, an experienced shep-
herd of Wisconsin says, is a mistaken
notion, and is often the cause OF con-
siderable loss. The sheep lose in
weight during the first warm days Of
spring, and, as the fresh grass acts
as a laxative, the fleece becomes dirty
and unpleasant to handle. 1t is
much better plan to shear the sheep
before turning to grass, as this will
insure cleaner wool and will therefore
make better gains. Don't neglect to
trim the animals hoofs, II trev need
it, as cases Of foot-rot can thus be
prevented.

foals do not always die at once, but
may linger for weeks or months with
swollen joints and other parts.
Care should be taken to provide a
clean stall with plenty Of bedding for
the mare several days before foaling

with 5 per cent solution of carbolic
acid or some other reliable germicide.
Cleanliness and sanitation used with

DUCK RAISING AS BUSINESS
Fowls Are Fine for Family Use
Though Not Very Valuable as
Product for Marketing.

The duck has it's place on the farm,
but duck raising as business is as

cause of long distance to market and
prejudice among buyers of live poui-

roast for the family and an album

Contrary to general opinion, a
pool large enough for swimming is
not necessary" says N. l.. Harris, su-
perintendent of the Kansas state agri-
cultural college poultry farm. Ducks
can be raised on dry land-that is, II
they are provided with water suffl-
GENTLY deep to allow them to sub
merge their beaks and wash the sand
from their nostrils. Otherwise they
will die.
The natural food for ducks consists
of bugs, worms and green succulent
vegetation found in marshy places.
Notwithstanding the fact that ducks
are easily raised, they should not be
Matched until warm weather, at which
time such feeds are plentiful.
There is danger of overlooking, ac-
cording to Mr. Harris. The duck is
