Wife of Broker Pleads
Guilty i'm Theft Charge

NEW YORK, April 7.-When
Mrs. Isabelle Fisher. twenty-eight,
wife of q. ]. Fisher, retired stock
broker. appeared before Magistrate
Sims in Yorkville court today to an.
swer a charge OF grand larceny pre-
ferred by Detective William H. Van
Twistern. Of a sporting goods store
in Madison avenue, the detective
said the firm wished to withdraw
the charge.
Magistrate Sims said he could not
entertain the motion to that effect.
and then Van Twistern asked that
a charge of petit larceny be sub
stituted for that OF grand larceny.
as the value Of the Scotch tweed
which Mrs. Fisher is charged with
taking from the store was less than
$50. To this the court agreed.
Mrs. Fisher then pleaded guilty
and the court held her in $500 bail
for special sessions. Her husband
furnished the bail.

To have plenty of hot water seems

The primitive man heated water by

The relative value Of chicks pro.
duced by natural and artificial
methods is one point upon which
successful poultrymen are not in
full accord.
Some OF the finest fowls ever pro-
duced, record layers and noted
show winners, were Matched in in
cubators and reared In breeders.
On a vast number OF money-making
poultry farms artificial methods of
incubating and brooding have been
used exclusively for many years.
These facts should be conclusive
proof that artificial methods are
practical and efficient, yet l FIRE.
Quently meet people who express
a strong preference for hen-hatched
and hen-reared stock. They APP
parently feel that chicks of the
latter class are stronger and more
vigorous. are better in plumage de-
velopment and color, therefore
more valuable as producers, breed
ers and show specimens.
Advantages Of Small Families.
The question is an open one.
Some day 1t will be decided through
exacting experimental work. Per
sonally, | care but little how bird
is produced so long as it is a good
one at maturity. But 1t must be
admitted that a little brood Of a
dozen chicks mothered by a hen
enjoys certain advantages over a
flock Of five hundred under a
brooder. Under the former con-
ditions the individual chick has
greater opportunity for normal de-
velopment because 1t avoids the
mob dangers" always present in
large flocks and has an opportunity
to secure more OF the natural food
insects, greens, seeds, ETC.
which is so beneficial.
One can grow mighty good chicks
under both systems. 1t is merely
matter of intelligent management.
In my own work I have always
largely depended upon tho time and
labor-saving machines, but have not
failed to grow a goodly number Of
birds under hens.
Under this plan one plays safe"
II hen.reared chicks are really bet
ter in some respects It certainly IS
wise thing to have q certain per-
centage of them In every breeding
pen. And IL one goes to the extra
trouble of growing chicks in these
small broods he should give them
the best Of care SO they may have
full opportunity to develop into
birds of choicest quality. It is not
enough to merely give chicks to a
hen, place all responsibility upon
the old lady and let nature take it's
course.

NATURE HELP
FEED FAMILY?
City Wage Garner Could Have
Fertile Soil Working for Him
All the Year Producing Food
GARDEN IS GOOD HELPER
4 Little Land IntelIigentIy
Cultivated Makes Wonder
full Difference TO the Worker

Who were first to develop SUBJ
urban acreage? Adam and Eve.
Taking the Scriptural record Of
humanity, the expulsion of Adam
and Eve from the Garden of Eden
was the beginning Of mankind's
toll to earn its bread. To make
the discipline severe, the suburban
section into which they were ex-
lied probably had no berry bushes
or fruit trees, and they probably
did not learn, in their time, to
make nature, with only a little
toll on their part, supply por-
ton of their food.
NATURE GOOD HELPER.
The wage Garner today in a city
is working without any direct aid
Of nature in providing the food for
his family IL he wants fruits or
vegetables, he buys them and nays
somebody q profit Not a berry
bush or fruit tree or plant is work
ing for him or with him to COM

But ever since that eviction from

to work for it: and In suburban Sec
tions now one may see little modern

developed, some of them by, city
wage earners, through setting ma
ture to work for them and keeping
nature on the job Of food production

occupation.
All the year nature stands ready
and even eager to give the rewards
Of food for labor. Fertile soil pro-
duces weeds and brush and trees
when man does not turn it to useful
production. BY putting nature at
work for them men have developed
homes Of beauty and security, en-
riched life and liberated themselves
from the thralldon of a job.
THE WAY OF ESCAPE.
A way Of escape is just now open
to every wage Garner or other per-
son who Graves the Independence
Of q home, who realizes that i'm
working alone he is taking on more
Of the toll for living than he need

participation in her manifestations
OF beauty that show what she il
ready to do.
A little land. with natures gen.
erous cooperation, makes the diff.
ference between dependence and in-
dependence. No industrious and
honest man in these days can plead
that the acquisition of this measure
of independence is beyond him.

double-up the matches, giving all the
chicks to certain selected mothers
and returning the remaining hens
to the laying flock. II chicks are
purchased and entrusted to
broodies which have not , in
cubated any eggs, the best
plan is to leave the hens on
their accustomed nests until the
chicks are received, then slip one
or more of the youngsters into the
nest under each hen. All which
promptly adopt the orphans may
safely be given families. Don't
trust the others.
Safety and Comfort.
The chick coops should be
weather-tight, though freely Venti-
lated. Chicks are often ruined in
leaky coops and those which are
insufferably hot at night. Board
floors in the coops are desirable,
since they are dry, easy to clean
and repel rats, skunks and other
enemies. For the latter purpose
coops should have tight doors and
openings In side walls covered with
wire netting. Be sure that each
brood will be protected and COM
Portable when closed in for the
night.
Do not use coops which are very
small in size. A small box may be
ample for mere sleeping quarters,
but totally inadequate during bad
weather when the family must re-
main indoors for days at a time.
Six to eight square feet of floor
space is not too much for each
brood, and more is better.
Keep everything CLEAN. Clean
house and disinfect frequently and
thoroughly. Neglected broods often

Spray and Have
Yield of Fruit
Of Fine Quality
Growers Should Get Busy
Early in Season to OBJ
tain Best Results.

A spray can be applied to all
fruit trees and also to gooseberry
and current bushes at this time of
the year. This is the dormant ap
plication. Use lime sulphur, solu.
ton, one gallon or one quart of the
concentrated form to eight or ten
gallons or parts of water. Some
people like to use I've. Use this
at the rate of one pound to seven
or eight gallons of water. The
dormant application will check moss
and lichens, kill red spider eggs,
check aphis by killing many eggs,
and will kill oyster shell scale and
San Jose scale.
The dormant application does
not affect apple or pear scab, apple
mildew, brown rot of plum or cher
ry, cooling moth, bud moth or cher
ry fruit fly. Other applications
must be used after buds have come
out for the control Of these pests.
All fruit trees should receive
other applications after the dor
mant spray. The trees must be
sprayed according to the pests that
are present and no set rule can be
followed.

Prevent, Don't
Wait and Cure.
Advice Given
1t Pays to Know Early Whether
Fowl or Animal Is in
Health.

Prevention always will be the
the best means of promoting sue
cess. The poultry raiser or stock
raiser who knows symptoms. who
Is vigilant in maintaining condi-
tons that tend to prevent the de-
velopment of disease. goes on the
policy that an ounce of prevention
is worth not only a pound but ton
of cure.
1t pays to know by observation
whether a fowl or animal is in health
or not. There are efficient medl-
cines to apply as preventives or as
remedies when disease develops, but
every day an ailment runs adds to
the difficulty of cure and to the liza
bility of spread in the flock or herd.
That is wise maxim which declares
that the best way to get out Of
trouble is not to get in.
Neglect even of obviously neces-
sary provisions or care imposes the
penalty OF loss and loss means

negligent farmers pay this fine for
neglect each year.

matter of fool luck rather than
efficient management. 1t Is good
business insurance to anticipate
and prevent possible disaster.
Fight lice and mites. Such YER
min may do great harm before be-
ing detected. Use liquid lice killer
or kerosene in the coops; dust hens
and chicks with lice powder as
necessary.
Chick feeding has been discussed
in Q previous article in this series.
Hef-grown chicks, do. not require
the skiIlfNl feeding necessary in
large flocks under brooders because
the sharp-eyed mothers find much
natural food which helps q heap.
At the same time 1t is wise to watch
the ration, feed the required ma
terials In liberal quantities.
Keep Them Clean.
Carefully wash and scald, or dis
infect, all receptacles for food and
water at least twice week. Keep
the water In a shady place where
it will not become overheated from
the sun. This is an important
point. Watch it.
Give the youngsters as much
ground space as possible. Unlim-
tied range is ideal. Where neces-
sary to confine them In restricted
yards, cultivate or spade the soil
frequently. Bury the contaminated
surface, bring up fresh earth from
below. Porous, sandy soil does not
demand as much attention as heavy
soil. Work oats or wheat into the
earth during this cultivation. The
chicks will enjoy the sprouted
grains.
Keep the hens confined to the
coops or in small adjoining yards
until the chicks are two weeks old.
Thus the mothers will be prevented
from taking their babies off on long
journeys before they are strong
enough to travel. After two weeks
give the hens full liberty II posi-
BILE.
It is good for both the mothers
and the families.
Each brood win return to its own
coop at dusk and should be snugly
closed in for the night. Release
them early in the morning, as long
hours OF confinement after sunup
are injurious. If early attention is
not possible, provide food and water
each night for the early breakfast:
Leave the hens with their chicks
until they wean the latter. The
mothers WIN usually begin to lay
before they actually desert their
families. Then they may go back
to their old quarters and the chicks
will fend for themselves.
Safety, comfort, liberty, cleanll-
ness and good feed. These are the
price of superior chicks.

BANKING POTATO
VINES POOR Plan
Successful Ohio Grower Says
Flat Cultivation Is the
Best Way.

A noted potato grower Of Ohio
says he cant understand why most
farmers and gardeners bank up
the soil around the vines. He
grows his crop by flat cultivation,
leaving the ground level but keep
ing the surface loose by frequent
cultivation. He says:
II don't know why people ridge
up potatoes, unless 1t is because
they are afraid the young potatoes
will look out and the wind blow
dust into their eyes. do not
worry about the potatoes coming
out on top Of the ground. The
closer they grow to the surface.
provided they are not exposed. the
better they will do, because the
nearer the surface the looser the
ground and the looser the soil the
easier the young potatoes can push
1t aside to grow. When they are
ridged up and there comes q hard
quick rain, the water, instead Of
soaking in around the roots. runs

Where they were much rfdged. I

TRY STAIRWAY
! BOX PLAN;IT' s
BIC PRODUCER
Back Yard Garden Expedient
That Economies Space and
Gives New Interest to Work
GOOD PROFITS POSSIBLE
In Any Event the Experiment
viii Yield Much Pleasure
to the Amateur Gardener

In European countries the back
ard gardener utilities every bit of
vail with a southern or eastern
exposure. The heat from such a
wall in the middle of the day is
liable to wither vegetables unless
the ground is kept moist and the
plants have the protection Of
heavy foliage. The backyard
gardener in this region may safe
ly plant against a wall, for the
heat is rarely great enough to
parch out and wither plants in q
few hours.
STAIRWAY PLAN.
For those who have to make
use of every foot of garden space
the stairway" plan affords an
expedient that, IL rightly managed,
win yield two or three crops in
q season Just now one may plant
Strawberries in the stairway boxes,
and after the crop has been en-
Joyed the plants may be taken out
and something else planted. Greater
production can, of course, be had
by starting with radishes, lettuce
or other early vegetables and fol-
lowing with paintings for the mid
summer or fall crops.
The stairway boxes are merely
an arrangement of boxes like a
stairway, but sleeper, so that half
q dozen or more can be set against
wall or propped In some other
place. occupying only a foot or two
Of ground width, but exposing the
box crops to the sun.
II one is ingenious and handy
with tools, several of such space
savers can be placed in the back
yard garden and afford interesting
experiments as well as crops OF
vegetables. The important thing Is
TO have the boxes deep enough to
hold moisture. A good plan Is to
put a couple of thicknesses of
lgunny sacking inside the box,
toward the sun, before the soil is
put in, as the sacking will hold
moisture and retard drying out
during the heat Of the day.
WELL WORTH TRYING.
Boxes should not be made soggy
with water; plants should have just
enough to stimulate growth. The
housewife who is in the garden sew
eeal times a day can look after
such a space-saver and keep it
working at maximum production.
Experiment will show how to get
good results. A couple Of broth
ers in an Oregon town sold $500
worth Of surplus berries and vege-
tables produced on the space around
a house on two twenty
lots, and a lawn took up twenty
feet across the front. They utilized
the south side wall by training
tomato and other vines against it
and having a number Of the stair
boxes.
1t is safe to say that anyone
who will provide deep boxes, with
good soil, and watch the growing
crops during the heat of the day
viii make this expedient a regular
part of their garden operations
year after year and get a lot Of
pleasure out of experiments.

Stock Judging
Hasn't Become
Exact Science
Decisions Often Are Made Hur-
riedIy on Trivial Diff
ferenCeS.

Stock judging is not an exact
science. Awarding ratings at shows
is to some degree a matter of i'm
pulse. A judge, finding two or
more animals of equal merit in es-
sentials, may announce his decision
on trivial differences. Decisions
have to be made, and usually under
the pressure of a time limit, so
Judges at stock shows probably have
been as fair in their findings as it
is practicable to be under the cir
cumstances.
In an entertaining article in the
American Hereford Journal, George
Chandler, pioneer Hereford breed
err. makes this comment on this
matter of awards. He says:
THE judging problem is, perhaps,
the greatest difficulty breeders
have to contend with, and / feel
that we of the West have had an
overdose of 1t in the Hereford
classes. Often when we have en-
gagged a judge he does not show up.
Actually / have received the blue
when I was ashamed to take it, and
more often have lost when the win
ner was not in my class. ! don't
presume to say these things on my
own judgment but have behind me
almost every herdsman at the shows
as we'll as other good judges. | re-
gard our herdsmen, as a rule, good
judges and would take their judg-
ment in preference to that Of So
called talent. Give me a herdsnan s
opinion before that Of college pro-
fessor. We all take off our hats to
John Letham as a Judge and he
was a longtime herdsman."
