GIVE HENS GOOD CARE.

The usual. season for low prices of eggs has come and gone without the time for disposing of the surplus in breeding fowls is now at hand. with prices more than double those of for mer years. The conditions prove that poultry and eggs are valuable products and the days of cheap eggs and poul- try are past and gone.
 If this is true. and 1t surely is, it will pay us to give our poultry not only month in the year. Do not think that because it is warm weather the hens and chickens will shift for themselves or any old place is good enough for them te roost in. Every window should be opened or removed from the hen house, whether of glass. cotton, cloth or burlap. Don't be afraid of drafts during the summer, but rather be scared lest the birds suffer from close quarters and foul air.
 With the planting of the kitchen gardens, many small f1ocks that occa- sionally had their liberty are now con- fined continually in houses and small yards It is often possible to yard the garden to keep the hens and chickens out. rather than pen the poultry in- If this is inpracticable, there is much in the garden in the shape of weeds and surplus plants, together with the clip pings from the lawn. that can he fed to the poultry as green food. This food should be given as soon as cut. or fed before it becomes wilted or dry.
 Notwithstanding the continued high prices of food. more poultry will this summer suffer for lack of clean. pure water than for food. Water pails and dishes will. be- left in sun. allowed to become filthy and often empty, when they should be washed daily, kept fill- ed to the brim and set in the shade. It requires only few minutes of time to do this, yet it may mean dollars in your pocket before the end of the sea- son.
 Poultry will thrive on any of the popular rations If they get fresh air. exercise, green food and water. provid- ed they are not given musty. moldy grain or an overdose of salt Mixing the dough with corned beef brine. rnackerel brine. or water used for boil ing hams. or feeding salt fish or meat. is a dangerous practice. An excess of salt is invaria bly, fatal to poultry.
 Do no overlook the mites or spider lice. They will take posse ession of your poultry houses if you are doirg nothing to prevent them, When they once get a footing. it isn't long before they act as if they owned the premises and be- gin to eat it up. Cleaning the house is good when we go from the roof to the floor. Spraying the house with lime wash is a good remedy Creosote oil. na apflthalene flake or carbolic acid added to the lime or whitewash makes it more lasting.

SQUASH BUG.


 When the squash and q cucumber plants have put forth s their first leaves, close search will usually re- veal the adult squash bugs that have come out of winter quarters and have begun to suck the plant juices. caus- ing the leaves to curl, turn brown, and die. % <t T.: Then for the next month or six weeks the females will deposit their oval, yellow eggs in irregularly shaped clusters, mostly on the under sides of the leaves. These eggs will later turn brown and hatch in from a week to two weeks. depending on the temper ature. The young bugs" vary, in color according to their age, from bright crimson to gray or black, and cluster in colonies hiding under the leaves. The adult bugs are dark brown in color and about three-quart- CTS of an inch long. There is but one generation each year.
 All old bugs which are found early in the season should be destroyed. The egg clusters should be hunted and killed By spraying the. under sides of the leaves with kerosene emulsion.-- G. H. Lamson, Professor of EntoIno1- ogy, Connecticut Agricultural Col lege, Storrs. 4

QUALITY OF THE SOIL,

Tn this time of need for food prod ucts and a rush for land to cultivate in garden plots as well as in large fields, due consideration should be giv- en to the quality of the soil to be handled. While there is an abundance of good land available. still it is true that many new. areas which may be taken up will scarcely make a fair re- turn for the seed and effort expended on them. Wet spongy land in which water stands for a good part of the season, loose, drifting sand. open, drouthy gravel. very thin. stony soil any of these conditions should be gen. orally avoided.

outside moisture when put into the barn.
 When a mass of damp hay Is large enough to retain most .+of the heat, fernentaIionS sets in and the heating thus started may continue until the mass bursts into flame.
 The first indication of, the heating of hay is when the mow is covered with ' moisture condensed from the vapor driven off in the heating. If this heat. continues craters or open ings may be found in the center of the mow. If gases or pungent odors are given off the heating Is great enough to be dangerous: the hay should be removed at once.
 A little care will often prevent se- rious loss.

SEAMAN ASK CAPTAINS PAY

Work for Pittance

Hamburg. Jan. THE Hamburg
seamen are now demanding the same
wages as those paid the ships cap
tain. ether officers and machinists
They are willing, however, that t!ie
captain of vessel be given an extra
allowance of $25 monthly to pay for
clean linen. trousers, pressing, etc. In
addition the men demand an eight
hour day, which calls for increased
life and property insurance for the
shipping concerns.
The new wage schedules represent
four-fold increase of the peace
time figure.
The objection of the men to former
naval officers enlisting in the mer-
chant marine have only been over
come by the determination of the
shipowners to stand by the former
men of the navy. The latter now are
freely reporting for subordinate posi-
tiors On cargo boats. Hamburg is
overrun by unemployed seamen, who
are willing to work ashore for their
lodging and board.
The passenger liners here are being
held in readiness for the resumption
of overseas traffic, it is said. The
Hamburg American Line has in
creased its feet by the purchase of
the Woermann Company liners.

Failing to extract anything OF va

and the order to fire never was given
The ony consolation the lieutenant
has is the fact that on July u, the day
