Oat-Sproutine Cabinet.

much better condition than If green
food is not included in the ration. The
hens never tire Of fresh, tender sprout-
ed oats, and Of all green foods they
seem to relish this the most.
The simplest method Of sproudng
oats which we have ever used is rack
made about 80 inches square and 3
feet high, says writer in Farmers
Mail and Breeze. Wooden trays z
inches deep and 80 inches square are
made to fit this rack and slide In and
out on cleats nailed to each side OF
the rack. These cleats are placed
about or 10 inches apart. In the
bottom Of each tray we bore gimlet
holes 30 the water will drain from the
oats. We place the rack in some base
ment or cellar. We soak the oats In
water over night, and the next morn
ing these are placed in q tray and
spread out until they are about Ia
inches deep. The oats are spinkled
each day and no artificial heat is used
In six or seven days time the oats are
ready for use. Where we use no ard.
fetal heat we are not t' Ibled with
mold. This is a cheap q: l easy meth
cd Of providing green food If you are
properly equipped for sprouting oats.

POOR METHODS ARE COSTLY
Farmers and Jobbers Could Make
$4,000, 900 More Year If Modern
Plans Were Adopted.

Kansas farmers and jobbers are pay
ing q high p-ice for carelessness and
poor methods In handling and market
ing eggs, according to r. e. Fox. as
sistant In poultry husbandry In the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
"The egg business In Kansas
amounts to nearly Sso,ooo,ooo annual
ly. On this 100000 more could be
made If farmers would realize the iul-
portance Of proper methods in ham
ding eggs and poultry" commented
Mr.. Fox.
"This enormous loss is due to i'm
proper nesting and housing, improper
feeding, improper care and handling
Of eggs on the farm, carelessness Ia
hauling and shipping, and careleSssess
on the part Of the merchant in mar
ketng.
Loss to the producer due to these
causes is principally in the quality Of
the product. for which he receives a
lower price. Loss to the consumer is
in receiving eggs Of poor quality, for
which he pays more than they are
worth"

MAINTAIN FERTILITY OF SClL
Specialists at Chic Experiment Station
Recommend Use of Phosphates
to Re-enforce Manure.

Since phosphorus is carried off the
farm in relatively large amounts in
grain crops, in the bones of animals,
and in milk, soil specialists at the Ohio
experiment station recommend the use
of acid phosphate or raw phosphate
rock to re-enforce barnyard manure,
if fertility of the soil is to be main
tanned. Acid phosphate is more gem
orally recommended, because under
average conditions it is more effective
and more economical than the raw
rock.
Acid phosphate has returned more
than three times it's cost in crop yields
in many tests at the experiment sta
tiOn, even when used in connection
with manure. 1t is ordinarily used at
the rate Of 10 pounds per ton of ma
nure. The phosphate may be spread
over the manure in the shed or yard
or mixed with 1t at the time Of hauling.
1t may also be sprinkled over the
stable floor behind the animals, about
one pound being used daily per 1000
pounds live weight of the animal. In
the latter case it also acts as an abb
sorbent Of the liquid manure.

Chickens need constant supply Of
fresh water, according to w. A. Lip

In the Kansas Agricultural college.
Running water is best" says Pro-
fessor Lippincott, "but II this Is not
available, keep the water fresh. Add
enough permanganate of potash to
make it wine red. This amount will
act as an antiseptic in preventing the

sharp vinegar, two ounces OF cloves
and two ounces of stick cinnamon.
Peel the peaches and insert one or
two cloves in each. Boil the sugar
and vinegar with the cinnamon for
five minutes, then put In the peaches.
When the fruit Is tender, remove it
carefully from the sirup ard put 1t
into jars. Boil the sirup until re-
duced to nearly half and pour over
the peaches.
An old-fashioned method Of preserv-
ing peaches was to fill the jars with
the whole fruit, peeled and covered
with sugar; bury three feet In the
ground below the frost.
Spiced Peaches.-For six pounds of
fruit use three pounds Of granulated
sugar and one pint of vinegar. Into
each peach insert two cloves. Put
into the sugar and vinegar one ounce
of cinnamon, which should be in a
cheesecioth bag, and boil. When the
mixture is boiling hot place the
peeled fruit in it and cook until ten
der. Put into jars and seal at once.
Peach MarmaIade-This may be
made from the imperfect fruit, using
three-fourths the weight Of the fruit
in sugar and half pint of water to
each pound of sugar. Make a sirup
and add the peaches cut in small
pieces. Boil until the mixture is
thick, for about three-QuarterS Of an
hour. Put in Jars OF tumblers-
Canned Peaohes.--Peel and halve
tho peaches, removing the pits Fol-
feur quarts Of peaches use three pints
Of water and a pint Of sugar. Whea

whole have a richer flavor than those

is the letter he left behind him. No
wonder he killed himself:
| married a widow with a grown
up daughter. My father visited our
house very often, fell in love with
my stepdaughter, and married her.
So my father became my son-inlaw,
and stepdaughter my mother, be-
cause she was my fathers wife.
Soon afterward my wife had a son
he was my fathers brother-in-law
and my uncle, for he was the broth
er of my stepmother. My fathers

er, and in the meantime my grand
child, for he was the son of my
daughter. My wife was my grand
mother, because she was my moth

band and grandchild at the same
time. And as the husband of ones
grandmother is his grandfather |

GUARDIAN
Appointed For Mrs. Madeline Force
AstOr-Dick's Son-EXpenses
Reach ST. Daily.

New York.--It was revealed in
Surrogate's Court that IT cost Mrs.
Madeline Force-Astor-Dick $72 a
day last year to keep four-year-old
John Jacob Aston, her son by her
marriage with the late Colonel John
Jacob Aston.
This was learned through the APP
pointment by the Surrogate of Cor
nelius j. Sullivan, counsel for the
Children's Society, to act as special
guardian to the heir of the multi
millionaire who went down with the
Titanic.
Sullivan will be expected to scru-
tinize purchases made for the boy
and make certain that the juvenile
millionaire is not overcharged for
the menagerie of artificial wild
beasts that is bought annually for
his amusement. Attorney Sullivan
must also brush up his knowledge of
the proper amounts to be paid for
children's wearing apparel and toys
for one piece OF headgcar purchased
for young Aston cost $3.50, while
another cost $1,000.
