EASTER.

Life has loneliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways ane sings,
And children's faces looking up,
Holding wonder like a cup.
Life has loneliness to SELL
Music like curve Of gold,
Scent of vine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirits still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.
Spend all you have for loneliness.
Buy 1t and never count the cost,
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year Of strife well lost
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.

Verse.

the lilies that is styled Easter day.
Somewhere all these lilies had their
original habitat. And now they are
widely cultivated.
There is the lily Of the annuncla-

Of gold. There Is the Easter lily,
that curves back its "DETAILS so that the
golden center may CLEAN like the

There are the lilies-of-the-valiey that
exhale their precious perfume in a
wealth Of odor that exhilarates and
intoxicates. There is the lilium
auratum, the gold-banded lily that
appears to be the crown OF grace for
the benefciaries Of the resurrection.
There, too, is the red.spotted lily that
seems to emblemize the crucifixion.
Is it not this lily Of which it Is said
that it grew at the foot Of the cross
and received some drops of the blood
that trickled therefrom? Then there
is the tiger lily, with its splotches of
vivid color, that seems to set forth
the passions Of humankind that the
resurrection rebukes. In the gardens
of the Southland are already bloom
ing the brown-spotted garden lilies,
and they seem to tell of the common
life and its trials and Affections and
humble circumstance. They, too, are
lilies fit for the open tomb Of Easter

But the lily that stands cold, exotic

to be lost sight Of. For refinement
and culture and the type Of life that
is preserved from much of the out

Low, Rough Land Used for Pasturino
Stock is referable-Fowls Do
Well on Forage Crops.

Geese, raised in small fiocks on
general farms, or non-productive
land, do not require any material
amount of grain. Low, rough land,
used for pasturing other stock, and
containing a natural supply of water,
fers the best conditions.
Geese are good grazers and will do
well on grass and forage crops alone
except during the winter months, when
they may be fed largely on available
rOughage such as clover, alfalfa hay,
silage, cabbage, mangel-wurzels, or any
waste vegetables. If the grass or for
age is limited 1t may be supplemented
by light feeds Of common or home
grown grains.
Geese do not need shelter except
during cold winter weather, when
open sheds may be provided Cos
l1ngs are not usually Matched until
good pasture is available, and need adj
ditional feed only for few weeks.
The range of pasture used either for
gOslings or for geese should be large
enough SO that the grass will remain
clean, or the stock should be moved
frequently to fresh land. CoOps, bar
rels, or some other dry shelter should
be provided for the young goslings.
Geese are very hardy and free from
diseases and insect pests.

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment Of Agricultural
Inc Kind of a floor to build in your
poultry house-whethcr of earth, wood
or cement-will depend on several con-
dftions. Each kind of floor has its adj
Vantages and disadvantages under GER
tain conditions with which the poultry
keeper should be familiar.
Where the soil is light and well
drained, earth floors are economical
and sufficiently comfortable for the
fowls. Where drainage is not good and
on heavy soils, especially those con-
tanning much clay. floors of wood or
cement are generally preferred.
Earth Floors.
A floor Of earth needs to be re-
neWed 1t least once a year. If the
droppings that fall upon the floor are
carefully removed at frequent, regular
intervals, much of the earth is removed
With them. If the regular cleaning of
the floor is superficial, the earth of
the floor to depth of several inches
becomes so mixed with droppings that
When the poultry keeper has a gar
den, the manure obtained by removing
the earth floor Of the poultry house
will compensate for the labor of re-
newing the floor, and the new earth
required can be taken from a conven-
lent spot on his own land. When the
poultry keeper must pay someone else

exceed the cost of a cement floor.
Cement Floors.
The principal fault of a cement floor
is that it is likely to be cold and damp.
These conditions may be corrected by
covering the floor to a depth of an
inch or two with dry earth or sand.
using over this scratching litter Of
straw or wood shavings. Floors so
treated require as much routine work
to keep them in good order as earth
floors, but the supply Of clean earth
required is much less and the work Of
annual renovation is eliminated.
Wood Floors.
Floors of wood are not now much
used in poultry houses except when
the space under the floor is high
enough to be occupied by poultry. A
wooden floor close to the ground soon
rots, while any space under a floor
not high enough to be used for poultry
makes a harbor for rats and other ver-
min.
The wooden floor of poultry house
should have a light coating Of dry
earth, sand, chaff or similar material
to prevent the droppings of the birds
from sticking to and saturating the
boards.

PLAN FOR FORCING LETTUCE
Excellent Method Is to Transplant
Seedlings Into Pots and From
These Into Beds.

Earthen pots can be used to adj
vantage in the forcing of lettuce. An
excellent plan is to transplant seed
lings from flats into two-inch pots and
from these into the permanent beds.
If space is at a premium the pots may
be plunged into the soil Of the perma-
nent beds, between plants which will
not be harvested for month or more.
Large. strong plants may be grown
in the earthen pots which will require
not more than four or five weeks to
attain marketable size after they have
been set in the permanent beds.

TO PREPARE ASPARAGUS BED
Doubtful Whether Cutting and Burn
ing of Tops Is Advisable Where
Severe Freezing Occurs.

In many sections the asparagus
plants are cut down as soon as the
berries turn red, and after drying suf-
ficiently they are burned to destroy
any disease germs or insects that may
be present. In regions where severe
freezes occur it is doubtful whether
the cutting and burning of asparagus
tops is advisable. The old tops hold
the snow and prevent deep freezing
and the blowing of soil. Some growers
thoroughly harrow the bed after the
tops are removed, others throw a slight
ridge over the row, but ridging Is not
necessary unless there is danger of In
jury by severe freezing during the win
ter. Where land is inclined to wash,
cultivating and ridging in the fall are
Objectionable.

COVER WHEAT WITH MANURE
Top Dressing Is Usually Preferred 70
Piowed Under Fertilizer or
Too Much Trash.

Manure should be used carefully In
the growing Of wheat and other small
grains. Top dressing on winter grain
is usually preferred to blowing under
manure or too much trash. This makes
a loose seeded which is likely TO dry
out and injure the grain. A top dress
ing, evenly distributed and not too
heavy, usually gives good results.
Manure spread on wheat late in the
fall or during the winter tends to pre-
vent soil drifting, catches snow, pro-
tects the plants from extreme changes
in temperature, prevents soil heaving,
conserves soil moisture, and adds some
plant food. Next year when the ground
is plowed, the organic matter Is in
corporated with the soil and improves
the texture and fertility of the land
for producing succeeding crops.

HEN IS GOOD FOOD PRODUCER
Most Economical Transformer of Food
Into Finished Product-Expert
Tells of Feed

The hen is an economical transform
er Of food into q finished prod
uct. A hen laying 200 eggs in year
is not at all unusual. A four-pound
hen laying this number will produce
six times her weight in eggs. To do
this she will require from 10 to 80
pounds of feed. II. L. Kempster of
the University of Missouri college of
agriculture suggests that for economi-
cal production it Is necessary:
1. That the food be properly Sc
lected.
,. That it be fed in correct proper
ton and in a iudicious manner in or
der that her digestive organs may be
kept in good condition.
3. That she be fed enough so that
she has plenty Of surplus for egg pro.
duction.

In winter weather it is necessary
to shoe the draft horse so as to pre-

This is best done by using a calk shoe
with a heavy toe and heel. This will
prevent the horse from falling. A rid
