Whom VIII Yon Trnst2

Senator Root, in his great speech
in New York city. after declaring
there was general agreement that
after the war America will be CON
fronted by tarlfr barriers in every now
belllgerent country, said:
What are we going to do then =?
We must do something. We must
protect ourselves or we shall become
the dumping ground Of the world
and our workmen Will beg in the
streets. Even the Democrats have
seen that something must be done, for
they have provided tariff board to
ascertain and report tho true facts
to which tariff law is to be applied.
Now we all understand that II the
country wants tariff for revenue
only they may put the making OF 1t
in tho hands of the Democratic party.
But can any sane man contemplate
that party making a protective tariff -?
In the lirst place, they can't do 1t
honestly They don't believe in it.
They were born and bred In a differ
ent faith"

PROPER TOOLS FOR DAIRYlNG
Manure Spreader Is One of Most
Profitable mpIements-Silo is
Regarded as Essential.

1t is impossible to give a specific
answer to the question as to what tools
a dairyman should possess. Much de-
pends upon mans pocketbook and
the possibility of his changing work
with neighbors to get the use Of their
tools, and upon labor conditions in
general. For instance, manure
spreader is one OF the most profitable
implements for a farmer with any
amount of dressing to distribute. Yet
1t is possible to handle the manure IN
the old way If man simply cannot
buy spreader.
II you are dairying you ought to
have a silo, and that means sllage
cutter and an engine, unless you can
arrange with a neighbor to do the
work. If you raise potatoes in any
quantity a planter, sprayer, and sure
ly a digger, will perform the work
most economically. Yet it is possible
to get along without these. OF course,
you would not expect to compete very
successfully with growers who have
such improved machinery. This class
of tools is in use only portion of the
year, and it ties up your capital to your
disadvantage if you have but little to
begin with. There are certain things
that every farmer is expected to have,
such as wagons, plows, harroWs, now
ing machine, hayrake, etc.

HAVE CLEAN NEST MATERIAL
Percentage of Dirty or Soiled Eggs
May Be Materially Reduced by
Proper Management.

Poultry keepers may easily reduce
the percentage of dirty or soiled eggs,
and losses entaiied to insignificant
figures. First, an ample number OF
nests is, of course, necessary, but an
ample number means no more, than,
and probably not as many as, are usu-
ally directed by poultry writer's. Lay
ing houses are, as rule, provided
with a sufficient number, but where
the keeper falls down is in failing to
supply enough nesting material and
floor litter.
Obviously the nesting r"terial must
be clean, or the eggs becL-.e soiled by
contact, and it must be sufficient in
quantity, or the eggs are often broken
by dropping upon the hard floor of the
nest
In houses where the dropping-boards
are above the nests, and the custom
is to sand the boards, snail stones
often drop into the nest and breakage
results when newly-laid eggs fall upon
them. The condition Of nests should
be noticed daily, and the nesting ma
terial replenshed when necessary.
Plenty of nesting material prevents
breakage and insures clean eggs
An ample and clean litter on the
floor is also very essential when an
Al clean product is sought. Particu-
larly is this true when the hens are
allowed outdoors during wet weather,
hens on their way to the nests.
C,ean eggs bring better prices than
dirty ones.

p,sclNe LAND BEFORE FLOWING
DESIRABLE.
NICHOLAS SCHMlTZ,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

Discing a sod before plowng makes
the blowing easier and greatly facili-
tates the preparation Of good seed
bed. 1t is AS important to have the
bottom OF the seedbed finely pulVer'
ized as 1t Is to have the surface well
worked.
The easiest way to do this Is to disc
before blowing II may seem that this
is an extra operation but land that is
well disced before plowng will not
need as much working after plowing
in order to get it in first class condl'
tion, and there Is no question of the
bottom of the seedbed being as well
worked as the surface.
1t is also good plan to disc rye
or rye and clover before plowing un'
der This aids the complete turning
under and at the same time helps to
mix it with the soil, which is necessary
In order to get the most rapid decom-
position. 1t also insures against the
difficulty of preventing the clover from
being turned under in mat, in which
case 1t simply acts as a blanket in
preventing the upward movement OF

NUT TREES THRIVE IN NORTH
Hickory Is Most Popular ana is rouno
In Many States-little Time
and Labor Required.

There are very few sections OF the
northern states where the shellbark'
hickory and pecan trees cannot be
grown. The hickory is more common
ly found, and is native OF many
states. The pecan is usually fouha
along river or creek bottoms, but can
be transplanted to any soil, sand or
clay, with fair success.
The hickory does not stand trans
planting so well as the pecan. both
can be grown from the nuts ana the
nut.grown trees give the best results,
producing nuts younger and forming
fine trees as the growing in the open
from the start adapts the tree to the
location and there is no stunt from
transplanting.
The pecan or shellbark when grown
in the open produce wonderful crops
of nuts. If grown on high land the
trees will never be large for forest
trees, but when grown on any low,
rich. moist soil, the trees make RAPID
growth, soon growing into large fine
shaped trees,
There is always some uncultivated
spot on the farm where few nut
trees could be grown. 1t requires put
little time and labor to plant them
and within few years the home will
have supply of fine sweet nuts, each
year.
