GROUSE LIVES ESKIMO
In Cold Weather the Bird Finds a Safe and Warm Retreat
 In Snow House.

In the temperate months the grouse has an excellent choice of food con sisting of great variety of berries, small fruit, seeds, buds, clover, beech nuts grasshOppers and multitude of young, tender leaves. In the winter one wonders at their survival; for now the fall flight of the robins com pletely exhausts the berries, which were wont to finger and ripen well depend largely upon yellow birch buds, with many a forced meal on an evergreen.
 Fortunately, whenever the tempera- ture is far below zero the sky Is usu- ally clear and the grouse are active and unconcerned, but if the days and nights are dark and cold or the air filled with merciless pellets, they have the habit of plunging into deep snow drifts, where q foot below the surface the heat and weight of the body form a glObular retreat, In which they re- main comfortably until the storm clears or hunger forces an exit.
 Sometimes In winter or the early spring there may come rain or Il warm day that mClts the surface snow followed by severe weather, and then thousands of grouse are imprisoned and the heretofore safe retreat be- comes their tomb should weeks pass by before the seal Is broken.-Na- tiOnal Geographic Magazine.

Barley A Good Feed for Hogs

With the cessation of the extensive malting of barley, the use of this grain for pork production has in- creased in importance. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the market price of barley pound for pound, as com pared with corn, has frequently been less, and it has been found profitable to convert it into pork. Whole bar ley is not desirable as stock feed on account of the hardness of the grain. However, when the barley is soaked or ground and soaked it's feeding efficiency is greatly in- creased. Although barley contains little more protein than corn, it is, primarily a carbonaceous feed, and must be used with protein concen- trate as a supplement. Generally, however, barley is less satisfactory feed than corn for fattening hogs. The rapidity and economy of gains from barley depend largely upon it's quality.

Who Made the AIphabet7

If 1t takes a genius to make great words, it was also a genius who made the alphabet which makes the words. The pedigree of our alphabet can be traced continuously for nearly 5000 years, and then comes a hiatus, says a recent writer The genesis of writing must naturally be sought in pictures. Cavam@n. when he painted his women or beasts On rock walls. or carved elks and elephants on antlers and tusks, was laying the foundations of one of the great human inventions. Behind al! this apt artistic effort we must see some esOteric motive, for 1t was not due Mereiy to the striving of the Crea- tive soul after expression. Doubtless. adds our authority, when cavenan held en exhibition of his works. his friends praised tl:c ingenuity and beauty of his pictures but thore is something more than the desire of simple repro duction h'ddon Tn lis handIwork.

Don't Build Poultry House
 Too Wide or Too High

A poultry house should not be so back of the house, say poultry spec ialists of United States Department of Agriculture, or it will be damp. Eighteen feet is a convenient width for a large house if there are no alleyways.
 The house should be built as low as possible without danger of the attendants pumping their beads against the ceiling. A low house is more easily warmed than high one.
 The size of the building required will depend largely on the number of fowls to be kept and on the size of the f1ocks. From 25 to 100 seems to be about as 1.lS:l.- c3 is safe and economical to keep together. With focks of this szie about 4 square feet of floor space should be allotted to each bird, which will suffice in most cases where careful attention is given to cleanliness and ventilation. Three to 31s square feet is enough for Leghorns in large focks. If the fowls are kept in smaller flocks a little more floor space per bird will be needed. Where the climate is so mild that it is unnecessary to keep the fowls confined, except for a few days at time, and especially if the fowls are kept in small colony houses, less space per bird will be sufficient. The smaller breeds, being more active and restless, req lire about as much room as the larger breeds.

Arrange for Sale of Timber
 Before Cutting if


 To prevent the deterioration of felled timber farmers and owners of woodlands should allow as little de- lay as possible between the cutting of the tree and it's manufacture into rough products, advises the Forest Service Of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. This means that sales should be arranged for prior to beginning cutting. It is often 22cccs@Ty or desirable, however, to put off the delivery of logs, bolts or pOles until some months after cut ting, either to allow them 10 season or because a good saic can not be ar ranged at once. Much of the weight of freshly-cut timber is due to the water it contains, and few months seasoning will often reduce this to a marked degree, the amount of reduc- tion depending, of course, on the climate, the weather, and the expo sure to sun and air. At the same time, unless preventive measures are teriorate through decay, insect at tack, checking, or some other agency.
 Logs and other round timber should never be allowed to remain long in the woods after cutting. As soon as possible they should be taken to a dry, well-airei, and un3hadei area and placed on skids we'll off the ground; otherwise the opposite cx- treme should be attempted---keeping the timber in water Within a few days after the trees are felled the bark should be removed from poles, posts, and other material which will not be injured by checking or season cracks. The ends of the logs shc culd be coated with paint, creosota, or tar. This will aid iii preventing d. cay and keep the logs from checking badly.
 Poles should be peeled and hauled or dragged to place free from deb ris or rank vegetation and freely ex- posed to the sun and wind. When ties are cut, it is usually cheapest and most desirable to haul them, 1t any convenient time without regard 10 seasoning, directly to the railway, and pile them according to the specifications furnished by the tie buyer.
 Cordwood should be stacked in loose piles in a sunny, well-aired, and well-drained place free from rank vegetation. Two sticks on the ground running the length of the pile will keep it from contact with the soil and thus prevent decay in the lower layers.
 Additional Information on this subject is Contained in Farmers Bulletin 1910, Measuring and Mir keting Farm Timber, copies of which may be had free upon application to the Division of Publications, United States Department of Agriculture.

Bury Dead Animals Deeply
 In C~;cLlime, or Crematc

All farm animals that tie from unknown causes ci-ould preferably be buried deep in quicklime. Many o1t- breaks of infectious diseases owe their origin to carcasses which were allowed to decompose in the ope0
 pastures or barn lots to which other animals had access. The United States Department of Agriculture advises every farmer who suffers mortality among his live stock from unknown causes to have a competent veterinarian make post-mortem examination and cremate the remains

How to Make Sauerkraut;
 Utilize Surplus Cabbage

The making of sauerkraut offers good means of utilizing surplus stocks of cabbage and at the same time enables the housewife to carry over into the winter months a vege- table food that helps to vary the diet at time when meat is often too largely used.
 Unless very large quantities are desired, or 6 gallon stone jars are the best containers. The United States Department of Agriculture recommends the following method: Select only mature, sound heads of cabbage. Quarter them and slice off the core portion and shred An or dinayr slaw cutter or a large knife will do.
 One pound of salt for every 40 pounds of cabbage makes the proper strength of brine to produce the best results. This may be distributed as the cabbage is packed in the jar or it may be mixed with the shredded cabbage before being packed. The cabbage should be packed firmly but not too tightly. When full, cov- CT the jar with a clean cloth and a board cover or plate. On the cover place weight heavy enough to cause the brine to come up to the cover. If the jar is kept at a Cem- perature of about 86 degrees F., fer mentation will satrt promptly and should be completed in from 6 to 8 days. A scum soon forms on the surface, which should be skinned off from time to time.
 After fermentation is complete, the kraut should be set in cool place. If the cabbage is fermented late in the fall or if it can be stored in very cool place, it may not be necessary to do more than keep the surface skinned and protected. Otherwise, it will be necessary to take measures to prevent spoilage. This may be done by one of two methods: CD A layer of hot paraftin may be poured over the surface, or as much of it as is exposed around the cover. Properly applied to a clean surface, this effectually seals the jar and protects the contents

 In the American class of poultry are found the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Java, Dominique, Rhode Island Red and Buckeye.
 The fowls of these breeds are com~ monly called genHra1-purpOse fowls, because they are not only good egg producers, but their carcasses are also well suited for the table. They are therefore the best breeds for the gen. eral farm tiocks of chickens, say poul- try specialists nf the United States

Homemade Floor Oils.

One part boiled linseed oil 5hinncd with three parts turrentine makes an excellent floor oil, the United States Department of Agriculture finds, while one part light motor or engine oil combined with four parts kerosene gives results similar to commercial kinds. The motor oil recommended must not be confused with the heavy, less highly refined kinds that contain dark sediment.

BIG VALUE OF FOREST TREES
Material Supplied for Use on Farm Such as Poles and Wood-Pro-
 tect Live Stock.

Forest trees grown on the farm add to its value and beauty They supply material for farm use, such nS roleS' posts and cordwood; and they afford shelter for live stock, and protect crops and buildings from the hot winds of summer and the cold winds of winter. Moreover, they often can be grown successfully on soils too poor or on slopes too steep for the success full production of the ordinary agricul- tural crops.

APPLY LIMESTONE ANY TIME
Usually Done to Best Advantage ln Late Summer When Teanas and
 Men Are Available.

Limestone may be applied at any time when men and teams are avail able, but this usually Is done to best advantage Il. iate summer, fall or early winter. It will seldom, If ever, pay to put on less than q ton to the acre, and more should be used if the soil is very sour. Applications usually are not made n4,.e frequently than once in four to six %ears. The usual appli- cation varies from one to two and one half tons an acre.

OUR FARMERS CORNER
Wild Cucumber and Milkweed
 Harbor Cucumber Mosaic

The wild cucumber vine and the common milkweed, as shown by in vestigations by the United States De- partment of Agriculture, are the principal wild hosts plants of the cucumber mosaic, or "white pickle disease. This disease is widespread in the United States, but is most gen eral and serious in the Middle West, where the major portion of the pickle-growing industry is located. Cucumber mosaic is caused by a vii rus, and the most common means of spreading it is by two kinds of in sects, the striped cucumber beetle, the melon aphis, and by pickers. The disease is not carried through the winter in the soil or by insects, and trials have shown.

CT bury them dcoD in q;2icklire.
 Hogs, next to poultry, are usually the most numerous live stock on the average farm, and as hog cholera is the most dread scourge which jeo- pardizes the porker population, it is obligatory that the carcasses of hogs dying from unknown causes should be burned or buried deep in quick lime. An old metal wheel serves as an excellent base for the funeral pyre. The wheel should be raised 5 or 6 inches above the ground on or 4 stones, so that fire can be kindled underneath it. The carcass of the dead hog should be placed on this wheel. In order that the carcass will burn readily and thoroughly, it should be slashed deeply with a knife so that the flames may penetrate to the fat and all the carcass burn rapidly.
 Where horses or cattle die, so much labor is involved in digging trenches of sufficient size and lepth to accommodate them that it is pre- ferable to dig deep smaller grave and to uismenber tine carcasses so they will fit in the small space. These graves should be not less than feet deep and the carcasses should be covered thickly with quick-lime, which will soon consume the fleshy portions.
