RIGHT TIME TO CUT TIMBER
Disease and Insects Do Not Attack
Wood Out Of Doors During
Winter Weather.

Timber cut In late fall and winter
seasons more slowly and with less
checking than during the warmer
months, and when proper storage or
handling is impracticable, winter cut
ting is best. Fungi and insects do not
attack wood out of doors in cold
weather, and by the time warm wealth
er arrives the wood Is partly seasoned
and somewhat less susceptible to at
tack. 1t is for these reasons that win
ter cutting is advantageous, and not
ture or sap in the wood In winter, as
the popular belief has 1t. There is
practically no difference in moisture
content Of green wood in winter and
summer.

ly, the hens to Gull are those that are
sick, weak, inactive. lacking In vigor.
poor eaters, with shrunken, hard, dull,
or whitish-colored combs; with thick,
stiff pelvic bones that are close to-
gether; small spread or distance be-
tween rear end of keel and pelvic
bones; full, firm, or hard abdomen;
and those that have molted or started
to mOlt in August or September. In
breeds having yellow legs and skin
the discarded hens should also show
yellow or medium-yellow legs, yellow
beaks, and yellow skin around the
vent.
The hens to be kept should be
healthy. vigorous, active, good eat
ers, with plump, bright-red combs;
large, moist vents; thin, pliable pelvic
bones spread well apart; wide
spread between pelvic bones and rear
end of keel; large, soft, pliable abdo-
men; and neither molted nor molt-
ing In August or September. In
breeds with yellow legs and skin
the hens you keep should also show
pale or white legs and pale or white
Deaks and vents.
! As soon as the culling is finished
all the hens you have discarded should
be marketed at once. II doesn't pay
to keep one. Cock birds not wanted
as breeders should be canned, eaten,
or marketed Immediately. Cockerels
saved for breeding should be vigorous.
strong, active, and alert, and should
be those that have grown most rapid
ly and developed the best. No bird
lacking these qualities will be good
breeder.
Pullets that are weak, understood,
and poorly developed also should be
eaten, canned, or marketed, as they
will not be profitable producers; but
no thrifty, well-developed pullets
should ever be disposed of in this
way, because 1t Is these pullets when
kept for layers and breeders that win
net the greatest profits.
Late MoItsrs Best for Breeders.
The molt probably Is the best and
most easily applied test of production.
Hens cease laying completely or al
most entirely during this period. The
better producers lay late in the fall.
and therefore molt late. Late molters
also molt rapidly as rule, while early
molters molt slowly. Therefore the
advice is to save hens which have not
molted by August or are only just be-
ginning late In September or in Oc-
tober, and discard those that have fin-
ished molting or are well into the
molt. Hens that molt latest, provided
they are otherwise desirable, are the
best to save for breeders.

best time to emphasize the operation,
perhaps. Is during August and Septem-
ber. according TO the teachings of ex-
perts of the UR'ted States Department
of Agriculture. That Is to say, II you
intend to make just one culling In the
year then August or September should
be your date.
1t is easier then to make a close
estimate of the relative value of hen
as an egg producer and to weed out
the poor producers. Hens which show
indications Of laying or are laying and
have not molted usually are the ones
that have been the better layers dur
ing the entire season. and the hen that
lays best during her first year usually
will lay well during the second and
third years She Is the hen to keep.
1t is not advisable, though. to keep
hens of the heavier breeds, such as
Plymouth Rocks. Rhode Island Reds.
and Brahmas, beyond their second
year. or of the smaller breeds. such
as Leghorns and Anconas, beyond
their third year, as they seldom prove
profitable.
In addition to culling the entire
= flock IN August and September, you
should always watch for hens that are
sick or very thin In flesh, or that show
signs of weakness or low vitality.

HEAVY PASTURING is
FAVORED BY EXPERTS
Best Results Are Obtained by
Continuous Grazing.
Experiments Conducted at Different
stations Show That Pastures Arc
Being Utilized to One-Haf
Their Capacity.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AKriculture)
For every 100 acres of other crops
on farms In the United States, say ex-
perts Of the United States Department
of Agriculture. there are 91.5 acres of
pasture, of which about one-third is
listed as improved pasture" Corn
Is the only crop that exceeds in acre
age improved pasture.
Some years ago an ample series Of
experiments on typical bluegrass pas
ture was conducted by the department
comparatively with the Virginia ex-
pertinent station. These experiments
showed clearly that heavy pasturing
resulted in twice the returns that light
pasturing as generally practiced gives.
Furthermore, after heavy pasturing
the pastures were In much better con-
dition. Alternate grazing showed no
advantage over continuous grazing.
The results show clearly that pastures
n general are being utilized only to
one-half their productivity. and that
this light pasturing is to their detri-
ment. Comparable results were later
obtained in North Dakota and In Utah.
The prejudice against heavy pastur-
ing liz due partly to the desire of the
farmer to avoid the possibility of a
shortage OF pasture and partly to the
ldea that heavy pasturing is injurious
to the grass. Sacrificing half the
value of the pastures Is much more
costly insurance than reserve of hay

The hygienic Importance of electric

port by Surgeon j. G. Cummings OF

the effects of the influenza epidemic
in institutions having n quarter of Il
million people, 1t was found that
where dishes were washed by hand
there We're 324 cases of the disease
per 1000 persons; but in hotels and
other places having electric dish
washers the rate was only one-third
ms great or 10S per 1000. The wash
ing by the machines is not only more
thorough than hand washing, but
hotter water is used and this insures
more effective sterilization.

From time to time the attention of

inn he conceived the grandiose scheme
of conquering Paris. Three years la
ter the banker, NJ Marie Renaud,
owned palace on the Bois de Bou-
logne and conducted n bank in partner
ship with a mesmerist who bewitched
the customers.
After couple of years the firm was
dissolved and Remand was arrested,
tried and convicted, but on appeal was
acquitted. He then removed to Brus-
sells and founded the Credit Inter
NATIONAL which promised It's share
holders 800 per cent interest and
which went 10 smash In 1904. He
was arrested. but again got clear and
then went TO London. He was again
brought before II tribunal In Paris
as bankrupt with 21,0O0,OO0 francs
liabilities. Again he got free by means
known only to himself.
