Paths TO Profit With
Hens in Backyard

Keep the hens confined to your
own land.
Don't keep a male bird. Hens lay
just as well without male.
Don't overstock your land.
Purchase well-matured pullets
rather than hens.
Don't expect great success in
Matching and raising chicks unless
you have had some experience and
have grass plot separate from the
yard for the hens.
Build cheap house or shelter.
Make the house dry and free from
drafts, but allow for ventilation.
Fowl stand cold better than
dampness.
Keep house and yard clean.
Provide roosts and dropping
boards.
Provide nest for each four or
tlNe Aehs's
Grow some green crop in the yard
Spade up the yard frequently.
Feed table scraps and kitchen
waste.
Also feed grain once day.
Keep hens free from lice and the
house free from mites.
Kill and eat the hens in the fall
as they begin to moult and cease to
lay.
Preserve the surplus eggs pro-
duced during the spring and summer
for use during the fall and winter
when eggs are scarce and high in
price.

Machinery on Farm
CenServeS ManpoWer

One of the important measures
urged by the department of agricul-
ture to help meet the labor needs this
year is the largest possible produc-
ton and fullest use of farm labor
saving machinery. The department
has actively interested itself in Sc
curing priority for raw materials
used in the manufacture of farm i'm
plements and also in securing favor
able consideration at the hands of
transportation committees to provide
facilities for moving the materials to
the manufacturers and the completed
products from the manufacturers to
the distributors and also to the farm
ers. Both those dealing with pri-
critics of transportation have evinc-
ed complete willingness to assist.
This is indicated by the fact that the
priorities committee of the war in
dustries board have raw materials
needed for farm implements a posi-
tion of preference over all articles
except those urgently required for
military and naval purposes and that
the transportation committee took
steps to secure the prompt move
ment of the raw materials and of
the manufactured articles.

Should Spray Now
TO Kill Pear Scab

In some parts of the valley, Bart
let's, Howels and possibly Anjous are
in the proper stage for the pre-blos-
som spray for scab. This is some
times called pink spray" During
the coming week most all varieties Of
pears will be ready for possibly an
other week. The first clusters should
be open and the buds separated SO
that the spray can penetrate to all
parts of the cluster. All varieties
will not be ready at the same time
and there will be difference in loca-
tions. This spray is specially impor-
tant if scab has ever been found in
the orchards. In some sections where
pear scab is not known to exist it
may do to omit this spray but not in
orchards where scab has been found
in previous years. Use lime-sulphur
one to 80 or 95 on all pears. Spray
thoroughly.

Shortage in Supply
OF Many Minerals
Stimulates Mininq

A shortage in the supply of GER
tain minerals needed in war has stim-
ulated new industries and develop
ments. Among these minerals Is
magnesite. Until 1915 the United
States produced only about 10000
tons of magnesite annually, although
1t used 100000 tons. The domestic
supply came from California and the
imported material came from Aus
tria, Hungary and Greece.
In view of this condition and the
decrease in imports, domestic pro-
duction was greatly stimulated. Ac-
cording to estimates to C. G. Gale, of
the United States geological survey,
the production of magnesite in Cali
fornia in 1917 exceeded that of all
former years, being estimated at
215,OOO tons. This quantity and the
magnesite produced in the recently
discovered field in Stevens county,
Wash, estimated by R. w. Stone of
tie United States geological survey,
at close to 100000 tons, makes an
output of about 315, 900 tons in 1917
or $1,000 tons more than the nor
NAL domestic demand.
The huge deposits of magnesite re-
Gently discovered in Stevens county,
Wash, are only a few miles from
railroad, with down-grade haul for
the load, and are so situated that
they can be easily quarried. The
Washington nagnesite occurs in beds
like limestone, in thick lenses up to
a quarter of mile long, exposed on
hillsides or ridge tops where large
quarries can be opened.
Magnesite is used not only for
making refractory brick and compo-
sition flooring, its principal uses, but
in fire-resistant paint, in the sulphite
process of wood-pulp paper manufac-
ture as head insulator or covering
for steam pipes and boilers, in mag
nesia cement, and for other purposes
Magnesia cement is used for making
the decks Of ships, and floors of hos
pitfalls, and the floors of railway cars
as well as for floors of larger areas
It has been employed successfully in
the European war for making gun
its advantage for this
use being that it sets quickly and has
some residence.

Change Of Time
Has Little Effect

The people of Ashland in general
have taken kindly to the change of
time which went into effect Sunday
morning at 2 o'clock. The clocks
were set around at bedtime Saturday
night, and few apparently noticed the
difference on arising Sunday morn
ing. In some cases hardness in
church attendance was noticed, but
as general thing life went on in the
routine manner that existed before
time jumped an hour ahead. This
morning the advance in time was
more noticeable, however, as it was
cloudy at sunrise, and the ordinary Z
O'Clock breakfast had to be eaten by
artificial light. This will soon be
eliminated as the days grow longer,
and in a short time no one will real
ize he is actually arising an hour
earlier than he was accustomed to
before March 81. The trains were
surprisingly regular in spite of the
advance in time made after their
start, many of them being only a
few minutes late when they arrived
in Ashland.
