PRODUCTIVE FARM LAND

In a general sense, productive
farm land is land that is used
to produce crops, to pasture
animals, or to furnish a supply
of fuel, timber, maple sugar, or
other profitable forest products.
Nonproductive land is that por-
ton Of a farm which is taken
up by the farm buildings, by
lanes and roads that are unnec-
essary, fence rows that are too
wide, open bitches, headlands,
swamps, rocks, ravines, sloughs,
and streams, or pasture land
that does not economically sup
port live stock. Farmers Bull
letin 745, issued by the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, gives further information
on this subject. Copies may be
had upon request of the depart
ment at Washington, d. c.

BUILD UP PROFITABLE FLOCK
Possible Only by Continuous Selection
for Health and Vigor to Get
Egg Producers.

Only by continuous selection for
health mad vigor is it possible to build
up a flock which will produce fertile
eggs, strong chicks capable of making
quick growth and pullets with sufi-
cient stamina to withstand the strain
of heavy egg production. The appear
ance of bird is not always a sure In
dication of its vigOr, but appearance
and action taken together are a fairly
reliable guide for picking out vigorous
birds.

Sprouted oats Help materially IN Fur
nishing Fowls With Needed Green
Feed.
that the house will always be dry.
Green feed is very essential for the
growing chickens, the ideal condition
being to allow them free range on
good grass land. Alfalfa makes an
ideal range. Where the chickens have
to be confined to small yards it is
very essential to supply green feed
daily. Freshly cut lawn clippings and
short pieces Of any growing grain
crop, such as oats, wheat or any quick
growing crop, such as rape, make
splendid green feed. Where these
growing feeds are not available,
sprouted oats may be used and will
help materially. Where a hen is kept
with a brood Of chickens and the
chickens confined to a small covered
pen, move this coop and pen every two
or three days to fresh grass and never
let the grass be killed or eaten down
where the run is placed Provide fresh,
clean water daily and see that the re-
ceptacles are thoroughly cleaned and
the chickens never without water. The
water should be kept in the shade IN
as cool place as possible. Using a
stone crock for watering fountai1g
will help to keep the water coot
Where the chickens are confined TO
yards or have free range, shads
should be provided. Trees and low
shrubs make ideal shade, but If not
available a corn patch or rows Of sun
flowers will help materially. Where
no growing crop or trees of any kind
are available 1t will pay to put up an
artificial shade, making a framework
two or three feet high and covering
this with the branches Of trees, weeds,
straw or any waste material that will
furnish shade.

SUPERIOR GRAIN FOR CHICKS
and Is Excellent for Young as
Well as Old Fowls.

The grain of kaff1r corn is smaller
than wheat and 1t is good for the little
chicks as well as the full-grown ones.
The brood will begin to eat 1t before
they are week old and those who
have tried it say that 1t makes fine
feed.

CAP0NIZED TURKEY Is QUIET
Of Considerable Advantage in Getting
Them in Excellent Condition
for Marketing.

Very little has ever been done in the
way Of caponizing turkeys, but when
1t has been tried the capons were found
to be much quieter in disposition and
less likely to range over "a wide area
than the toms, and this character
should be of considerable advantage
in getting them in condition for the
market.

The mother hen should be confined

Clean Brood Coop Weekly.

Clean the brood coop at least once
a week, and keep it free from mites.
If mites are found in the coop, it
should be thoroughly cleaned and
sprayed with kerosene Oil or crude
petroleum. Spread from one to two
inches of sand or dry dirt or a thin
layer of straw or fine hay on the floor
Of the coop for a covering and move
brood coOps weekly to fresh ground,
preferably where there is new grass.
Shade is very essential in rearing
chickens, especially during warm
weather; therefore, place the coops in
the shade whenever possible. A corn
field makes fine range for young chick
ems, as they catch many bugs and
worms, and have fresh ground to run
on most of the time because of the
cultivation of the ground, and have
abundant shade at the same time.

Busts of Lenine, Trotzky and
Others on VieU.

have been entirely removed from the

nothing to distract from the study of
the busts of the Soviet leaders.
The individuals thus preserved for
posterity are Lenine, TrotzlSy, Krassin,
the Russian commercial negotiator;
Kanenieff, president of the Moscow
Soviet; zlnonieff, president of The Third
Internationale and also of the Petrograd
Soviet. and Dzvyinslli. The stern lead
ers of the Russia of the present, who
apparently never take chances, and
particularly not with things that are to
cross the Russian frontiers, have ap-
proved of these portraits, keeping the
originals in Russia, so they may be ac-
cepted as authentic likenesses. No mat
ter what the fate of these leaders may
be, there can be no doubt whatever
that posterity will have an immense
interest in their physical aspects. so
Mrs. Sheridan's work is sure of his

Mrs. Sheridan's courage in making the

intrigued the public quite as much es
the visits OF H. c.. Wells and Washing

has been better in it than she was yes
terday. Her voice seemed 10 lack its
wonted brilliancy, and its volume also
sounded smaller than usual In spots
the sopranos singing was uncertain in
pitch and phrasing and at no time did
she give TO the musice the verve ana
feeling with which she sang 1t before.
But her audience dotted on her. and was
also apparently we'll pleased with Tito
Schipa as Alfredo
In the even g there was another inn

bill, "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Pag-
liacci" Miss Rosa Raisa and Ricardo
Martin We're the stars in the first. with
assistance from Mr.. Rimin as Alto and
Miss Frances Paperte as Lola. The last
named was heard for the first time and
received applause for her pretty voice
and pleasant singing.
The hero of "Pagliacci' was Titta
Ruffo as Tonic. a role which he sung
here before TO the satisfaction of crowds
of admirers. Miss Alice Zeppilli was
the Nedda and Edward Johnson the
Cdnio.
At the Metropolitan there was no eve
ming performance. "Manon" was given
in the afternoon and was heard by as
many as the house would hold. Miss
Farrar was still not in her best voice, the
result of a persistent cold. but she sang
with care and art and was especially
admirable in the "Adieu." Mr.. Hackett
was good DeS Gy-iena and was warmly
applauded for the "Reve" and the
