There are three essentials in Sc

Il sufficiently fertile soil and good
drainage, if in a wet place. This
garden is being planted for table

same time complying with the
three essentials.
The size Of the garden in the
city depends upon the available
back yard space, while in the
country it should be large enough

a horse. Where horse cultivation

SAWDUST DYNAMITE
PROVES MOST EFFECTIVE

Practical experiments carried
on in stumps lands near Tacoma
have proved conclusively that the
new " sawdust dynamite" is much
superior to ordinary blasting
powder for the removal of stumps.
The product is The result of
more than two years experiment
alton by Prof. w. NJ. Dehn of the
chemistry department at the Uni
versity of Washington. The chief
value of the new dynamite for
blasting lies in the fact that it de-
velopes slow burning gas of
great expansive power.
Ordinary dynamite or powder,
because of its sudden. sharp ex-
Iplosion, has a tendency to break
off the stump, leaving much of it
below the ground to be dug out
later by hand. The new dyna-
mite with its slow action, does
not snap off the stump, but, with
tits powerful expansive power,
lifts 1t out of the ground.
I The new powder can be manu-
featured and sold at a cost of ap-
Iproximately six cents pound,
where ordinary dynamite and
powder costs 16 cents pound.
The new product is made of di-
! gested sawdust, the air spaces Of
which have been saturated with
a detonator, the combination of
the nitrate and the wood causes
a powerful gas, which forces loose
the stump and its roots.
While the article is now out of
the experimental stage, and has
proved successful under actual
conditions, it has not yet been
placed on the market. When it is
made available to Washington
farmers, it promises to be of ma
terial benefit to them and to the
state in the reclamation of waste
and logged-over lands.

FEEDING LAYING HENS.
R. v. Mitchell of State College
Gives Good Advice to State
Poultrymen.

A good ration for laying hens,
writes r. V. Mitchell, head Of the
department Of poultry husbandry
at the State College, in a newspap-
cr bulletin, must contain food ne
cessary for growth, body repair,
and egg production. Grain must
be fed in deep litter to give birds
exercise. Basis Of grain (scratch)
feed is wheat corn and oats, A
good mixture is 200 pounds of
wheat and 100 pounds of cracked
corn; oats at the rate Of one
pound dry oats to 20 birds to be
fed when sprouts are one-fourth
inch long.
Birds should have access to dry
mash at all times. An excellent
mash formula is: 200 pounds of
bran or mill run; 100 pounds corn
meal; 100 pounds -four middlings
or finely ground wheat; 100
pounds meat or fish scraps; %
pounds finely ground bone meal
and pounds fine salt.

sirable; both as a drink and in

making moist crumbly mash The
addition Of milk reduces the
amount of scraps necessary in the
mash. A moist crumbly mash can
be fed once a day to good advant-
age.
Green (succulent) feed should
be regularly supplied all year.
The supply varies from season to
season. Cabbage, kale, mangcl

are all satisfactory sources for
green feed

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN QUICKLY SOOTHED
 WITH SULPHUR

Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that is ir- ritated or broken out with eczema {. that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist.
 The moment this sulphur prepara- tion is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and the skin is de- lightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy be- cause it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or dis figurement. Mentho-Sulnhy always heals e:sSna right up.

AVOID CHILLING EGGS IN
GATHERING FOR MATCHING

Eggs saved during late winter or
early spring for Matching should be
gathered often enough through the
day to prevent any possibility of the
germs being killed from becoming
chilled says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and for best
results should be stored in moder-
ately cool place where the tmperature
is between so degrees and rs degrees,
Matching eggs longer than 10 days or
2 weeks before being incubated, and
the fresher they are when set the bet
ter the chances Of good hatch and
strong chicks. 1t Is harmful to wash
the eggs intended for Matching, as the
pores become filled and the air is shut
off from the living embryo.
It is also advisable to test the eggs
in each sitting for the removal OF the
infertile ones, which will give bet
ter chance to those that are left. This
should be done about the sixth or sew
enth day. A simple homemade tester
can be made in few minutes FROM
small wooden or pasteboard box OF
such size that common hand lamp,
a lantern, or a candle can be placed m
it. A hole should be cut in the top
directly over the fame, and another a
little smaller than an egg in one side
opposite the flame. The testing
should be done in dark room.
In testing. the light shining through
the egg held agains. the hole In the
side Of the box, shows the condition
Of the egg. An infertile egg is clear,
while the fertile egg will show a
spiderlike formation, center with
long, crooked threads, leading out
ward, and this formation will float rs
