EGGS AND MEAT FOR FAMILY
Every Farmer Should Keep Enough
Chickens to Supply His Own Table
Need Little Feed.

Every farmer should keep enough
chickens to supply eggs and meat for
family use, In the opinion of T. ).
Townsley, assistant In POULTRY hus-
bandry In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
1.-THE average farm will support n
considerable number OF fowls on the
waste products" said Mr.. Townsley.
1.-THE flock is the only available supply
of fresh meat during the summer for
the average farmer, especially If he
lives any distance from town. On many
farms the proceeds from the sale of
eggs during the laying season pay the
grocery bill.
Chickens are easily cared for on a
farm where they have plenty of range
Little feed need be given except dur
ing bad weather when they cannot
rustic. They can be taken care of by
the farmer out of working hours or by
the children or old people"

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say TO the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freeZone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by n Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
n moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezons
tell him TO order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv

TESTING SOIL FOR ACIDITY
Most Common Method is by Means of
Blue Ltmus Paper-Pnk Color
Indicates Acid.

The most common test for determin-
ing if soil is acid or sour is by means
of blue litmus paper. which can be OBJ
tanned at very small cost from nearly
every druggist. A small quantity of
moist soil from the field is compacted
into ball, the ball broken into halves,
a strip of litmus paper laid across one
part and the parts pressed firmly to-
gether again. After an hour or so the
ball of soil should be again broken
apart and the paper removed. If the
paper shows a decided pink color the
sample OF soil is acid. If a deep
rooted crop such as alfalfa is to be
grown it will be well to test samples
taken from both the surface soil and
the subSOil.

I'm Orange Judd and Farmer. II can
be purchased ut almost any drug store
for about % cents a quart. One quart
Of water glass mixed with II quarts
OF water that has been boiled and then
allowed to cool will make enough mix
ture to preserve about ID dozen eggs.
If the eggs are TO be held six or eight
months, n stronger solution Is better.
The water glass and the water are
stirred until thoroughly mixed, then
the liquid put into stone jar that has
been thoroughly cleaned.
Clean, wholesome eggs are dropped
into this water glass solution rs gath
cred each day. In filling the Jar, at
least two inches of the liquid should
cover the top layer of the eggs TO allow
for evaporation of some of the solu-
ton. The eggs are placed small end
down In the water glass. The thin
coating of paraflin effectually excludes
air and makes replenishing the water
glass unnecessary. The jar Is stored
in n cool cellar.

Window-Box Gardens.

Now that potatoes are scarce every
bit of available space is being used in
growing them. Already the women
of the nation have worked out
scheme of growing seed potatoes in
window boxes. thereby adding sew
eral dollars TO the family income.
When the housewife prepares her POI
tatoes for the evening meal she cuts
a piece from the rose end of the
potato off before peeling and plants 1t
in the sitting room window box, which
contains either leaf mold. coconut fiber
or sand. Each piece, says one potato
planter, should weigh not less than
one and half ounces, and the box
should be kept in the window of a
cOoi-but not too cool-room until the
sprouts are from one-half to an inch
high. Thus the housewife has a sup
ply of seed potatoes, which are daily
increasing in value.

CORN Is BEST SILAGE CROP
Provides Best Quality and Makes
Greatest Yield-Sorghum Good
on Very Dry Soils.

The first service of a silo is to pro-
vide q means of storing and utilizing
coarse feeds or by-products that other
wise would be lost.
The department of farm crops of the
Missouri College of Agriculture recon-
mends corn as the best crop in general
for ensilage. 1t provides the best
quality silage and in addition makes
the greatest yield in tons per acre.
Corn two parts and soy beans one part
make an excellent combination for
silage.
On very thin soils or in excessively
dry years the grain sorghums are com
monty better than corn In that they re-
turn larger tonnage per acre. In
general however. corn is TO be pre-
ferred.
Crops which make fair quality of
forage when cured as hay should not
be used In preference TO corn for filling
silos.

TO CONTROL POTATO BLIGHT
Few Good Sprayings With Bordeaux
Mixture Will Help-Formuls
for Making Solution.

A few good spraylngs with bordeaux
mixture will help in controlling potato
blight The first spraying should be
made when the plants are about six
inches high, and should be repeated at
intervals Of ten days to two weeks as
new leaves appear.
To make the bordeaux mixture, dis
solve six pounds of sulphate of copper
in - gallons of water. In another YES
sci Stake six pounds of fresh stone
lime and dilute to % gallons. Strain
the lime solution and mix the two to-
gether when you are ready to spray.
Do not attempt to keep from one
spraying to another any of the unused
mixture.

EGG PRESERVING PLAN
Spring Is Best Time of Year to
Put Them in Storage.
Eggs Can Be Carried Over Until Sea-
son Of High Prices at Cost OF
About Two Cents Dozen-Wa-
ter Glass Is Favored.

During the spring months market
eggs usually retail at anywhere from
20 TO 30 cents q dozen, whereas six
months hence many will undoubtedly
be selling at 30 and 60 cents a dozen.
The eggs that are laid in spring can
be kept over until the season of high
prices under proper management at a
cost of about 2 cents a dozen. From
all appearances it is a good invest
ment to preserve eggs in the spring
and consume them In October, thus en-
abling the owner TO sell at high prices
the eggs his pullets produced in the
spring.
For home preservation of eggs, wa
ter glass seems TO be the best prepa-
ration, writes Prof. w. +. Kirkpatrick

NATIONAL FORESTS
SELF SUPPORTING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Although
the federal government went into the
business of protecting national forests
with the expectation thar the work
would cost considerable sums OF
money the management Of the enter
prise Is bringing about a condition
wherein the revenues derived from the
forests now furnish about three quar-
ters OF the cost OF maintenance.
The government foresters estimate
that 1t will be necessary to increase
the revenues derived from the forests
about $1.000.000 a year before the for
ests will be entirely self supporting
but IL is expected that this can be
done. For 1916 the forest admins
tration received about 100000 in
revenue from the national forests. this
figure representing a gain of approx
mately s350.00O over 1915. II the ra-
ito OF increase is maintained it will not
be long before the big woods will be
entirely independent and possible may
return profit. according to the Off
cial.
Timber receipts for 1916 amounted
to about s1.5OO.OO0, a gaia of $25L 900.
a gain of about $4,000 over 1915.

IMMIGRATION
TO PHILIPPINES SMALL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-"Japanese
immigration into the Philippine Is

only about one-fifth OF the Chinese
