Making Nails.

An excellent illustration of the diff
ference between old and new methods
is the ordinary common nail. For
merly the metal was cut into strips and
then forged into shape with hammers,
and an expert took about one minute
and a half for each nail. Today they
are made of steel and are lighter
and stronger. Strips are cut with
steam shears and fed into automatic
machines One man tends three ma

ACTIVITY IS LIFE OF FOWLS
Best Results Obtained by Feeding
SparingIy in Morning and Heavily
in the Evening.

A very common practice with many
flocks is to feed the same quantity Of
scratch feed both morning and evening.
Better results have been obtained by
feeding quite sparingly in the morn
ing and heavily at night. A hen likes
to scratch and work for her food.
Don't make it too easy for her. Re
member activity is the life Of the hen.

way of feeding the pigs than through

required, efficient methods of operation
and knowledge of markets. He usually
loses heavily by selling to a local buyer
Often he must cut up choice kinds of
wood into inferior products because no
other means of disposal are at hand.
The small sawmills today cannot turn
out a uniform, standardized product
Saving may be done in such way as
to make grading and sorting for mar
ket impossible.
These facts have brought to the
minds of wood lot owners the question
of selling through organization. Several
farmers could make up carload lots for
market and then sell at greatly in
creased profits over sales they would
make when working alone. Markets
could be investigated to find where the
highest prices are obtainable.
Moreover such an association could
increase profits by securing a trained
forester. This man could outline plans
for wood lot management and act as
adviser in numbering and marketing
In the woods he could estimate the
market value of the standing timber.
so that the owner would know how to
sell most probably. He could obtain
higher prices because of his experience
and knowledge Of markets.

absolutely impossible to inform
oneself on all the matters that
one is called upon to decide.
So much for for prelude. I
am in a state of mind to go into
technical details regarding any,
thing relating to a legislative
body, but shall confine myself to
the brighter and more interesting
phases of life as I see it every
day. If the labors of the present
session will be judged by the
number of bills introduced you
will agree with me that we are
doing some business and trying
to earn our money. But the av-
erage citizen would hold US in
higher esteem if we didn't grind
out so many. The time for the
introduction of bills has expired
and none too soon for there are
something like 375 on the calen-
dar. Many of these however
have already received the axe
and a great many have been
passed so that we have cleared
the decks of good deal of this
junk. But l can not agree with
some people who think we don't
need any more laws and that we
had better leave good enough
alone. IT'S not true that we
have too many laws but the
trouble is our laws are too con-

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Watch the potato bin carefully for
decayed tubers. Some fields contained
good many decaying tubers this au-
tumn.
Apples and potatoes should not be
stored in the same cellar, as the apples
will soon take ON the flavor of the po-
tatoes.
Celery should be stored in a cool,
well ventilated cellar. 1t is often stored
in cold frame, covered with boards
and straw, to prevent freezing.
The strawberry bed may be matched
with clean straw to depth of about
four inches. This will prevent freezing
and thawing in the spring.
A good time to get rid of few rab-
bits about the orchard is after the first
snowfall. Organize a hunt and get a
few of them before they injure the
fruit trees. They are good to eat at
this time.
1t will soon be time to cut scions of
apple trees for use in grating next
year. Store these In sand or sawdust

enough to shrivel nor moist enough to

importance of a Rich Loan.

One of the important results of max
ing rich loan with organic materials
is. noticed in the strong greening and
development of leaf. This is not neees-
sarily due to the absorption of fertility
by the roots. The bacteria which
grow and multiply in the loan when
supplied with food, warmth and mois-
ture exhale carbonic acid, as humans
do, and this gas, rising from the soil
and escaping into the air, feeds the
leaves, which inhale that gas as we in
hale oxygen. When one considers that
half the dry matter of plants is carbon

fiicting. This is due to poorly
drawn bills and also to careless
legislation. 1t generally comes
about by trying to legislate for
some particular condition or To-
cality, the author of the bill hav-
ing some specific circumstance in
mind that could not be reached
or abrogated by law and he forth
with gets busy to reconcile the
law to his way of reasoning of
what the law should be on this
particular matter by having a
law made to suit him. By doing
so he perhaps looses sight of
many other evils to which the
bars were lowered by this partic-
ular law and so there soon comes
a demand for a complete revision
of the organic law. AS an ex-
ample of conflicting laws l cite
you to the present definition of a
qualified voter at a school election.
There are exactly 16 definitions
of qualified voter at school cleo
tons. Mr.. Shearer of Lewiston
called this to my attention and
we, assisted by DR.. Sisson, looked
this up and if you care to do so
you can verify this statement.
One law defines a qualified voter
that may circulate a petition and
yet that same person is disuuali-
fled from voting. The result was

man of the board of education

Don't you talk to me about one or those outrageous New Years eve bats this year, MT. Caudle. I'll have you to know, sir, that went to my last one On New Years eve of 1917, and l re- solved then and there never to go to another one as long as I lived. Whats that? New Years resolutions are sub ject to the initiative &.d the recall? Don't come that bluff on me, MT. Cau- dle, what ever it is. You may think you can recall the New Years resolu- ton that you are going to make about drinking-but that's all. You'll just think you can; you'll never be able to do it except over my dead body, sir.
 "How's that? You can't even say any thing in jest to me that I don't fly all to pieces and raise an uproar like a German submarine after a battleship? That may be the case, too. but your New Years resolutions for 1918 are go- ing to be kept to the letter and don't you forget 1t. Just as I kept my reso- lutions I made on New Years of 1917 I haven't broken one single one of them. I've kept them to the letter. There's been much initiative but no re- call about mine and I'm not going to break my resolution about going to an- other New Years bat I was fin ished last year. How's that? There won't be any liquor because it can't be got ten? MT. Caudle, you've been telling me that the whole year and yet you get 1t regularly. Now. how Is it done?

Now, Mir Caudle, you know if there is one thing that I disapprove of more than another, it is dancing. I don't believe any de- cent, respectable person would dance the way people dance these days; why, didn't see that Tattletane minx and a young officer dancing at tea the other afternoon and they actually didn't move for five minutes off the same spot; they could have danced on quarter of dol- lar all day long.

It's even gotten so that you can't play solitaire without someone want ing to cut in with you and make it q double Garfield. Whats that? People see so much of each other that few outsiders now and then are relished by the best of men? Of course if the man happens to be you, MT.

Why can't a man be sat- ished in his own home on New Year s eve talking with his own wife, going over the past year and making resolu- tions about what they will do during the coming year?

maintaining the vigor of poultry. The farmer who lets the vitality of his flock run down will not sulceed Farmers should be more careful in culling their young birds and selling them for table use. Bulletin 2N of the North Carolina station has pointed out some of the practices of farmers in that state, as follows:
 The farmer very often makes 8 seri- ous mistake in taking the largest and best developed chickens for market and keeping the smaller and poorer chickens for his own use. This may bring bet ter money returns for the time being, but few generations of this practice will bring the whole flock to the level of the culls."
 Not long ago prominent mine owner of Virginia called at the writer's poul- try plant to purchase some fowls. He said that the farmers in his vicinity had paid so little attention to the effects of inbreeding on the vitality, development and the egg-laying powers of their fowls that many flocks had degenerated into puny mongrels which were not fit for profitable marketing and of no value as egg producers. Too many farm flocks in all parts of the country have had the size and vitality of the hens reduced to a low level by this lack of system in poultry management.
 By keeping a better grade of poultry the farmer will profit in three ways: O The broilers can be sold at a higher price; CD the hens will lay a greater number of eggs; and (3) they will make better table fowls. These points all make for in- creased income.
 The maintenance of a vigorous line of
