AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

 their nests by scratching out a bowl
 shaped hollow in the ground. The winters
 being severe, roasting shed is provided. having a cleated board reaching from the floor to the roosts for the wing clipped birds to walk up.
 Most guinea raisers, however. allow their breeding stock free range of the entire farm at all times. This helps to keep the birds strong and vigor- ous. During the winter the breeders should be fed a grain mixture of corn. wheat and oats twice day. Where no
 green feed is available on the range at l this time of the year. vegetables, such
 as potatoes, turnips, beets and cabbage should be substituted poultry specialists
 of the United States Department of Agri-
 culture suggest.
 Animal feed is essential to best re- suits and can be supplied by feeding meat scrap or skim milk. Given free range. where the supply of natural feed is ample, as it usually is in
 the southern portion of the United
 States, the guineas may be left to
 pick up a considerable part of their
 feed. Free access to grit, charcoal
 and oyster shell Is necessary through
 out the breeding and laying season.
 Avoid having the breeders too fat.
 but keep them in good, firm flesh

CATIONS BRING BETTER

Caponizing the surplus cockerels is growing in favor with poultrymen and some farmers in this country for the ca- pon grows larger than the cockerel and in addition commands a much better price.
 It is impossible to say just how long the operation O. caponizing has been per. formed It seems quite certain, however, that the practice was familiar to the Chinese more than 200 years ago. Later 1t was practiced by the Greeks and Ro- mans, and through medieval times by the people of Middle md Southern Europe. In recent years it was introduced into America. At present capoEs are most universally known and appreciated in France, although the business of pro- ducing, them has advanced gradually in America This industry is most import ant in that portion of the United States east of Philadelphia, though increasing numbers of capons are being raised in the middle western st/es on general

WHAT SMALL BEGINNfNG CAN DO.

Van Palmtree is aF1s year old boy who
 lives in Panola county, Nj $. Van heiongs
 to one of the many boys agricultural
 clubs in that state Many nf the Missis-
 sipp iclub boys have had unusual success
 with their club projects. but Vans sue cess is noteworthy because Of it's small beginning.
 In April, 191e, five cents was iven him by his teacher as a reward for unusually good lessons and good behavoir one day at school With this money he bought a 1 chicken. It was crippled, hence it's low price; but much coddling on his part saved its life and it grew to maturity
 The next summer she raised brood of
 chickens which were sold for $15O With l this money Van bought pig. It was a ]! runt pig, but care and good feeding for a 1 few months made it well worth the $9 3e for which its owner sold it. Immediately the young financier bought a heifer calf with the price paid him fol
 the hog. Last year and again this she presented her owner with a heifer calf so he now has a little herd of three, al 1 the outgrowth of that one nickel whicf 1 he invested four years ago. l ib boys cattle are scrubs, but ht
 is hopi-s, to have something better some
 of thees days, and with boy of this kiuc 1 to plan is to do. So it would not be sur prising if the nickel continued to grov and become a purebred herd before Var i is Is.

UTILIZE FALLEN LEAVES

Every fall the streets and lawns of our cities are covered with fallen leaves. Generally these are raked together into large piles and burned. This is a great waste of plant food, for these leaves would be very valuable to our gardens. Thousands of dollars are lost every year through this .wasteful extravaganza.
 All the leaves about your home should be gathered and added to your compost pile, where they will decay and make hu- mus. Mix them thoroughly with soil, add to your compost heaptand allow them to decay.
 If you have no compost pile, spread the leaves on your garden where crops are not growing and spade them in thorough ly. As fast as you remove a crop from the garden, cover the vacant space with leaves and work them into the soil

Many whose eyes were falling say they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonderful free prescription. One man says. after trying it: T was almost blind; could not see to read at all. Now can read everything without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me" A lady who used it says: ''The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glass. but after using this prescription for fifteen days every thing seems clear. I can even read fine print without glasses" It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever

 In selecting the breed best suited for
 caponizing several factors must be taken into consideration. Large capons bring the best prices. Consequently, the breed should be large. It does not pay to ca ponize small fowls, poultry experts of the United States Department of Agri- l culture say. Yellow lesrs and skin, as in other classes of poultry, are most popular The Plymouth Rocks, Sight ] Brahamas. Cochins, Indian Games, Lang shans and Wyandottes are all recom- l mended by different producers, as are also various crosses of these. The Orping- i ton also makes fine capons, but the white legs and skin are somewhat of a l disadvantage in this country.

Plea for Protection

Scratch Free-Trader and you fine
under the skin, a Protectionist. "Thal
amt no SIGH animal as an American
Free-Trader. He who passes as such
is an imposter who cares more for his
business than his country, or one who
has no business interests and is influ-
enced by Free-Trade papers.
The South, known as the hotbed of
Free-Trade, is not such in fact but
only in theory, proof of this state
ment being found in the attitude of
manufacturers and producers who
fight for Protection for their inter
ests while theorizing about Free
Trade. Put in another way, we might
say that every Southerner is a Free
Trader until he has something to sell
then he bowls for Protection. Look
back and see what the sugar and cot
ton planters and the steel men have
asked for, aided by the rice grower
and smaller producers.
The Brooklyn Eagle is democrat
ic newspaper and not wildly enthus-
iastic over Protection. But last Sun
day it devoted a whole page to art
icles lamenting the fact that the surg
zeal manufacturing industry, which is
big factor in the manufacturing life
of that city, could not survive unless
it were given Protection against Ger
man goods that were flooding the
market. Brooklyn does not want to
lose business that employs men of
great technical skill, and the Eagle,
like any other Free-Trade paper,
wants the despised Republican policy
put into immediate action to save
that industry for it's city.
This question of Free-Trade VS..
Protection is not often discussed on
the broad principle of what is bset
for the country but on personal and
selfish grounds. Here is a workman
IN a lumber mill who wants Free
Trade in clothing because he has
learned that English clothes can be
sold cheaper than American clothes;
there is man who works in a wooden
mill who wants the duty taken off
porcelain because he has learned that
the Germans produce a superior art
icle at less than half the American
price. And thus on indefinitely. But
none of these men stop to think that
if his wishes were gratifed there
would be little for the American
workman to do, as there is hardly a
line of manufacture in this country
that can compete with the cheap labor
abroad,

STATE FARM BUREAU NOTES

A shortage of coal for threshing
outfits, threatens a successful harvest
in Kansas during the harvest season
now almost ready to open, according
to reports which are being received at
the central Offices in Manhattan of
the Kansas State Farm Bureau, which
is devoting attention to the situation
with a view of remedying it if pos
sible.
Non-production of coal, and poor
transportation facilities are to blame
for the shortage, is the opinion of
Charles R. Weeks, Secretary of the
Bureau. An investigation has been
launched by Mr.. Weeks. Thee Bu-
reau will make survey of the out
fits which are apt to find themselves
in need of coal during the coming
season and also of the available sup
ply and its location.
"Threshermen would do we'll to in
vestigate for themselves, the supply
Of coal IN the towns from which they
expect to operate said Mr.. Weeks,
and to report to the Farm Bureau
Office in Manhattan, the conditions
which they find. Although a great
deal of threshing is done by gas and
oil engines, there are still a great
number of outfits which will depend
this year upon coal"

Have you seen your wheat fields
lately? It is time to see whether you
have any Hessian Fly. You will find
at this time that there will be consid-
cradle broken stalks. In most cases
you will find that the lower end of the
stalk shows a brownish color and
looks as if it had rotted off, In many
instances you will find small bodies
that look like an ordinary fax seed.
These are the fax seed stage of the
Hessian Fly.
The County Agent, Mr.. Halstead,
Mr.. Swanson and Mr.. Getty have
been over the southern part of the
county the past week, and have exam
ined several hundred fields and in
most all cases damage has been found.
In some cases the Hessian Fly infest-
alton has run high while in other
fields only small per cent have been
found. Mr.. Halstead made a trip to
Quinter this week, and found Fly as
far west as Collyer. There will be
more damage done within the next
few weeks although this will depend
upon the stage of the fly at the pres
ent time. If you find it in the larva
stage, the fly will still do damage.
The Farm Bureau will carry on an
extensive campaign the next few
weeks, in order to acquaint the men
with the life history and the methods
of control of the Fly. We urge the
cooperation of every farmer in the
county as this is the only successful
means of controlling the pest. Watch
the papers for further information
but in the meantime go look over
your fields and see if you have any
damage from broken stalks.

In parts of the county the grass
hoppers are appearing and will cause
considerable damage if not checked.

we can find enough to supply the
people wanting it. If you want the
arsenic let. US know, we may be able
to save you some money if enough
need it.
