NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance Of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. It
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

Mark the rows. so that cultivation can commence early. 9 nd they will be out of the way before they interfere materially with the beet5 carrots.
 Early Potatoes-This year you will think of early potatoes. In a row three feet from the beets and carrots plant a row. of early potatoes of such vari- cities as either Irish Cobbler, Early Six Weeks. or Early Queen These might he in small hills say, a foot and half apart. Cultivate rather shallow. and for the most part level Plant rather deeply.

PRECIOUS SEED POTATOES.
Care Should Be Taken est They Get Skin Diseases.

Because of the varJous skin dis eases, such as scab, every seed potato that is planted should have been treat ed with fornnalin.- The presence of any scab- bacteria, the surface of the potatoes at planting time will be the. beginning Of a great deal of trouble fater- The trc ltment which is necessary ito give to eliminate this disease is to soak The potatoes for 1-2 to 2 hours in this formalin so- lutiony which is made Lr of one pound or one pint of forma dehyde to 30 to 35- gallons of water. This treatment should be given pota'C es before they are cut. s-.
 When large quantities of seed pota- toes are to be used, instead of soaking them, they can be treated by storing in a tight room and by using f3 ounces of potassium permanganate, three pints of formalin, and leaving the room closed for "A to 4S hours. Care should be taken in using this mixture. as it will Cause the forma- tion of formaIin gas rapidly.

LAID A TOTAL OF
 OVER 5o,ooo EGGS This Point in Contest Reached Week Earlier Than Last Year.

The hens in the contest at Storrs have now laid a grand total to date of
 more than 5O,000 eggs and the best part i of it is that this point has been reach ed week earlier than it was last year and they are still gaining The to- tai yield for the twenty first week
 amounted to 4,423 eggs, a jump of
 nearly 200 over last weeks figures ard
 nearly 100 eggs better than the foI the corresponding week a year ago In addition to a better average yield
 in the current competition there is also a better pen record. In the contest now running a pen of Leghorns stands first with total score to date of 3Si eggs or 30 eggs ahead of the English WyandotteS that were leading last year at this time; this penn is over H00 eggs ahead of the best Leghorn pen at the corresponding date a year ago. All of this seems to warrant the pretlic- tion that the flock of hens now at Storrs need not fear the pace that has been set by their predecessors.
 It semed as if every breed in the contest str>l-e last week to do it's best. Obed G. Knights pen of White Orping tons from Bridseton, R. l., finally got first place with a yield of '5S eggs. Fairfield Farms Barred Rocks from Short Falls, N. H., were q close second with yield of 57 eggs and A. P. Rob- inson's White Leghorns from CtlIver- ton, N. Y, were an equally close third with d production of 56 eggs for the week. Windsweep Farms Leghorns from Reding Ridge, Conn, and Colon ial Farms R. I. Reds from Tenn pie. N.

START APPLE ORCHARD.
Big Profits Sure to Come Eventually
 if Intelligence is Used.

You should start that orchard this spring which you have been planning on for so long a time. You have
 had big ideals as to profits to be obtained from orcharding. and these
 ideals can be realized if you will follow up-to-date methods and correct orchard practices. Otherwise you are bound to disappointment. as there are obably more apple tpees which are unproftable than are profitable. There have been thousands of dollars lost in the orchard business, but there can be thousands made by any who will go at it in a careful, intelligent man ner- It is reasonable to expect 1G to 20 per cent on ones investment in an apple orchard when proftably con ducted. and this on a heavy valuation An apple orchard cannot be made profitable until it is six to eight years of age, and one must figure on haring a certain amount of money to put in to developing the orchard each year until the period of profitable returns arrives This is what makes a ma ture apple orchard quite valuable and the reason why one should figure on a big investment in an orchard An orchard plantation 25 years old or older if in excellent condition is easily worth $2.500 per acre and will return interest as suggested above on this investment.

THE HOME GARDEN.
Some Hints Regarding the Early
 Planting.

Go where you will today and the common thought is how to reduce the high cost of living. Those who are fortunate enough to own or are able to rent a small piece of land, can,- by 9 small garden get more pleasure from life, reduce expenditures, and get a better meal.
 If you are so fortunate as to get , possession of a piece of land of a loamy nature. which has been previ- ously cropped. so much the better. This should be fertiEized with well Gecomposed manure. If you do not have sufficient quantity of this sup plement with commercial fertilizer. Horse, sheep and hen manure mixed together are good. Be careful not to use the latter too freely, as it is very active.
 This garden need not be large. A plot 40 x 50 feet will supply family of four people. Of course, this would not mean potatoes for winter
 Flow this as early as possible if it and pulverize thoroughly. Half the battle of good garden crops is a thorough preparation of the soil.
 If this plot could be so located as to posture. so much the better, for it will be a little earlier It makes little diff ference whether the rows extend cast and west or north and south.
 What Can Be Grown on Such a
 Garden.
 Peas-Early peas would, no doubt be the first thing planted. One double row, that is, two rows one foot apart, the full length of the garden (60 feet) one-half planted as soon as the soil can be well worked, and the other half in ten days to two weeks, would .ur- nish peas for quite time. Use a good early wrinkled, like Notts Excel sior. The smooth peas may be plant ed earlier, but are poorer in quality. This variety, planted in the double row, does not grow so high as to re- quire trellising. Later in the season this same row can be worked up well and planted to late cabbage.
 Cabbage11n a row three feet from the peas could be planted one of cab- bage. Half of these migh be Early Copenhagen; the other half Render

small f1ocks of less than 100 the ker- osene- burning indoor hover is the best. The gasoline heating brooder, because of it's labor-saying devices, unit, which is about the number of chicks which are matched from one 390-egg incubator or two 248-egg in cuoators. Unless 250 or more chick ems are matched at one time the coal stove brooder is not practical bee dse 1t requires more fuel to provide suf- ficient heat for the small flock, and the building which must contain not less than, 100 square feet of floor space cannot be used economically.
 Some people follow the practice of attempting to raise two flocks of chickens of different ages under one cover, keeping them separate until they are two or three weeks old and then allowing them to run together. This may work satisfactorily long as the chickens are kept separated, but as soon as they run together those from the younger lot are trodden upon by the older birds and do not get their share of the feed. This re- suits in their becoming stunted so that they are susceptible to diseases and never make strong, vigorous pull lets.
 There is a similar argument against breeding chickens i1 focks of more than 900, even though they are of tbe same age because of the tendency to crowd which results in the weaker chickens which are likely to be pull lets being shut off from the fresh air at night, and also their being robbed of their share of the feed so that many of them do not grow normally. Brood CTS can be obtained cfeaply enough now so that any poultry keeper can afford to have enough of them. It is certain that this year, if ever is the time to take the best possible care of every individual chicken and neep
 Ii show good constitutional vigor and vitality.
