MIX for Chickens.

The Storrs experiment station,
Storrs, Conn. in Bulletin 80 gives the
following conclusions from milk-feed
ing tests:
The feeding Of milk to young chicks
has a most favorable influence on the
growth and on the ~lessening Of MOI
tality Of the chicks. 1t tends to pre-
vent mortality from all causes, and
If fed soon enough and for a sufficient.
Iy long period. greatly reduces the
death.rate caused by baccillary white
diarrhoea.
Sweet and sour milk are apparent
ly of equal value in their relation TO
growth and mortality, Furthermore,
different degrees Of souring do not
alter the results Of milk feeding.
The value Of milk as q food for
chicks does not depend upon any
acids that may be present. nor upon
any particular types of m~icro-organ-
isms; but upon one or more of the
natural constituents Of the milk.
When milk Is supplied freely to
CHICKS, IL UGCOLlco oil IuC u1O4O AAR-

ercise. This applies more particular
" to early-hatched chicks that are
brooded wholly or for the most part
In doors,
The feeding of sweet or sou milk
to young chicks has in no instance
been found to be In any way injuri-

is clean, and not too old. none but
the most favorable results should ac-
company It's use as a food for chicks.
There is no preference in the choice
of sweet or of sour milk, except from
the standpoint Of convenience. The
use of the one or the other should be
determined by the circumstances.
However, it seems very desirable that
the same kind Of milk be supplied
throughout the m~ilk-feeding period.
If the choice is that Of our milk,
sour milk should be fed to the end.

GROWING Of Lilies.

Lilies can be grown in any good
garden soil. Heavy soils should be
made rich and provided with good
drainage, light soils should be made
rich and protected from the hot sun
by a suitable mulch.
Lilies are impatient of extremes
they suffer from too much water and
dislike extreme heat as much as So
we're cold.
Proper preparation Of the lily bed
Is essential. The soil should be re-
moved for a depth Of two feet and at
the bottom fork under six inches Of
well rotted manur Then add anoth-
er six inches of the top soil and on
this six inches Of sand.
Place the bulbs upon the covering
OF sand and cover them completely
With sand; then MI up the bed with
the remainder Of the topsoil. Never
let the manure come In contact with
the bulbs.
Aa a rule the autumn Is the best
time 70 plant. although In the early
spring successful planting may be
done.
When tha plants have become g.
tablished the bed should not be dis.
turbed as long as the plants bloom

Garden Of Herbs ds Valuable.

Why not have a garden of herbs?
In a few feet of ground you car grow
all the herbs you can use and you win
be surprised to find what an addition
they will make to your table.
Lettuce and tomato salads are great
ly improved by adding a few chopped
leaves of thyme, tarragon. sage and
chiyes to the dressing. Sauces, fish
minces or croquettes all gain in flu
vor from the use of these herbs.
The seeds Of dill. anise, coriandcr,
caraway and fennel are useful for
f~iavoring in bread, cookies and cakes.
Catnip. rue, saffron and tansy have
medicinal qualities, while lavender.
and rosemary yield aromatic oils and
waters.
An herb garden should be started
early in the spring, in carefully pre-
pared and thoroughly cultivated
ground. A light, sandy soil is most
satisfactory. The seeds should be
planted In shallow drills and the soil
firmly pressed down.
Here is a list of the most useful
herbs that are not difficult to raise:
BaIm-For cooking purposes.
Basil Sweet-Used for Havoring.
Borage-Leaves used for salads.
Coriander-Seeds aromatic.
DiIl-Seeds for fiavoring.
L~ayender-For oil and distilled wat
or, dried flowers and used among lin
on.
Mint-Leaves used for iavoring.
Rue-MedicinaI qualities.
Saffron-Medicinal and flavoring;
also used in dyeing.

THE SHIFTING TENANT
Agricultural Schools Should Work TO
Keep Farmers, Sons on Land.

N@S
Keep Farmers Sons on Land.
Specialists of the department Of az
riculture who have been making an
investigation into the use Of land by
high schools in teaching agriculture
and In the encouragement of boys to
carry on supervised home, projects,
make the following suggestions as to
how the agricultural instructor may
help to solve the serious s~niftingsten.
ant problem.
1t can safely be assumed that the
average boy leaves school at IS years
of age. From the best information
available the average farmer does not
start farming on his owu account un-
til he is somewhere between Is and
80 years of age. In other words,
there is a period Of a farmers life.
when he is between is and 30 years Of
age, when he is not working on his
W farm nor is he his own master.
It would seem that wherever the
home project method has been intro
duced an effort should be made to
follow up the boy and, If possible. ar
range in some way so that he contin-
ues his home-project work and grad
ually become a partner with his faith
er in the farm business. This fea-
ture should be a part Of the extension
work of the agricultural instructor.
Farmers are recruited from two
sources, from the SOM of farmers and
the sons of agricultural laborers. In
going over the original census sched-
ules for farmers of Iowa county, Wis.
this rather interesting fact developed
that where the tenant and landlord
had the same the tenant had
been on the farm that he was o. the
day the census was taken for a much
longer period than where their sur
names were different. It was found
that 81 per cent Of the cash tenants
who were related to the owner had
been tenants on the farms which they
were on, at the census date, for two
years or less, while the per cent for
those where no relationship existed
was S.. For share tenants the figures
were so and 80 per cent respectively.
In other words where there Is rela-
tionship there Is less of the shifting
tenant problem than where relation
ship does not exist. From other rec
ords It was learned that of the total
years a man had been a tenant, he
had been a tenant on the farm where
he was at the time the records were
taken rs per cent of the total time
when there was no relationship. Tie
returns also indicated that where re-
lationship existed 33 per cent had at
tended high school, but where there
was no relationship only Is per cer
had attended high school. In other
words, If through the school the farm
ers could be made to take an interest
in the agricultural training Of the boy
and they could be established in a
partnership relation, the shifting-ten-
ant problem would be partially solved.

BERRY PRODUCTS
Strawberry Waste Tremendous-sua-
g~estiOns for Handling Surplus
Through cannery and
Cold Storage.

Each year thousands OF bushels Of
strawberries go to waste In the larger
producing centers of the United States
because Of low prices or some adverse
condition. In many regions Of the
south 20 to rs per cent of the crop Is
never gathered, because the prices to-
ward the end Of the season are tuo
low to justify picking the fruit. This
is a great loss that should be avoided.
with the increasing demands for
strawberry products. such as crushed
fruit, ~jel!ies, preserves. and marina
ladies', this loss can be largely reduced,
according to 3 new publication of the
department Of agriculture CT. B. 664).
Within the last few years some of
the manufacturers of food products
have been putting up fresh strawber-
ries in large quantities for use at soda
fountains and in the manufacture OF
ice cream. This industry offers i'm
portant possibilities to the producer,
manufacturer, and consumer. Several
large manufacturers buy surplus
strawberries and put them up in the
field, while others ship the fruit to
their home factory. One Of the best
methods OF handling the fruit is as fol-
lows: Wash the berries thoroughly
in cold water, put them into tight bar.
rels with sugar in about equal
weights, load in refrigerator cars and
ship to cold-storage plant where they
can be held until needed. Sometimes
the berries are crushed before being
put into the barrels. but in most cases
they are packed as nearly whole as
possible. When ready for use they arc
taken from storage and manufactured
into the various products. If the fruit
~ in good condition at the time 1t Is
placed in cold storage, it a be kept
for a long time without to any great
extent losing its favor and fresh
color.
The keeping Of strawberries undcr
refrigeration is a comparatively new
undertaking, but results that have
been secured indicate that in time
this can be made an important In
dustry. 1t is possible to keep the
fruit,in such a way that it's quality Is
practically unimpaired. In a single
storage house 5000 barrels OF crushed
sugared Strawberries were held at Il
temperature between &c degrees and
40 degrees p. Proper storage is an
ao,rnrtay& vooffar for AZ Will onahlr
the grower to dispose of his surplus
crop and at the same time will pro-
vide the consumer with a wholesome
strawberry product throughout tho
year. When growers are banded to
gether into a large association 1t of.
ten should be possible for them to
manufacture strawberry ~by-products
at the producing center under the
management Of the organization.

CUNSTON HALL HOME
OF REA AMERICAN
Built by George Mason, Fas-
Seeing Statesman.

In 1850, at a plantation In Maryland
near the Potomac river. a wedding
took place. and to 1t hocked the plant
ers and their ladies from miles around
In Maryland and Virginia, writes
Mary Mayo Crensham in st. Nicholas.
II a the marriage of George Mason,
fourth of the name In this country
and scion of a very ancient family,
to Ami Eilbeck, sixteen years old and
already a great belle and beauty. Ma
son. then twenty-five years old, was
described by a contemporary as
'young. wealthy, handsome and tai
ented."
Soon after the wedding the young
couple began to build their now 1a-
nous home Gunston han. It was
named In honor Of George Masonps an
cestral home in England. They threw
themselves intellectually into the
task. Mason himself was the archi-
tect. He had woodcarvers come over
from England, and for three years
these worked on the classic designs
which lend such charm to the home
and which have been copied by some
Of Americas greatest architects. At
the end OF this time the stately man
SION was finished and a house-warm-
ing was held. Scores Of guests came
from miles around In their gilded
chariots and quaint coaches, or In
boats from the Maryland side. Two
of the nearest neighbors, Lord Fair
fax and George Washington. must
have been there to drink the health.
Of the young pair-Washington then
q tall young man eighteen years Of
age. And we can imagine the pride Of
the slender young wife In her beauti-
full new home, and seem to see her in
the soft candlelight dancing the min
net or the Sir Roger dc Coveriey.
Mason was destined to become
e& the most famous statesmen Of
America. He lived at Gunston hall
during the remainder Of his life. John
Este Cooke In his delightful history Of
Virginia has said:
Mason was called upon to draft
the Virginia bill Of rights and constd-
tuition, and did 80. The former ls the
most remarkable paper OF the epoch,
and was the foundation Of the great
American assertion Of right. yefEer-
son went to 1t for the phrases and ex-
pressions Of the Declaration, and It
remains the original chart by which
free governments must steer their
course in all coming time"
All Of It found its way into the
Constitution Of the United States, and
the first ten amendments Of the lat
ter were taken bodily from the bill Of
rights.
The year 1925 is the 200th anniver-
sary Of the birth Of George Mason
Proper observances are to be held on
October 20 at Gunston hall. But there
lie a perpetual memorial. not limited
By time, not temporary, but unceas-
ing, to this great man, In the country
he helped so much to found and In
the reverent hearts Of a whole people.

Preserving Surplus Eaaa.

The art of preserving eggs when
thcy were cheap and selling them la
ter at a big profit was until recent
years practiced only by storage COM
panies. OF late, however. methods Of
preservation have been perfected UNI
til the average poultryman finds It
easy and inexpensive to preserve his
surplus. The cheapest, simplest and
most effective Of these methods Is the
use Of the waterglass solution. In Civ
ing directions for the proper way Of
doing this work, J. A. Helmerich,
poultry expert of the Colorado Agrt-
cultural college says:
Eggs to be put in w~aterglass should
be fresh, sound and clean. They
should be gathered daily and preserv-
ed the same day. Infertile eggs are
conductive to the best success.
""Take one quart OF w~aterglass,
which can be obtained from any drug
store at about 81 a gallon. and mix it
with 10 quarts of water that has been
boiled and then cooled. Stir thorough
iy and place in a crockery vessel. New
er use galvanized or tin vessels. Place
the vessel in a cool, well ventilated
cellar, and add eggs as you gather
them from day to day, always keeping
the solution one inch above the eggs.
Keep the crock covered with q lid to
prevent too much evaporation. Eggs
preserved in this manne will keep
perfectly for one year. The waterglass
solution will not injure the hands. Do
not use the solution more than n
year.
"Tt will be found hard to boil water
glass eggs, but by puncturing the
large end with a needle. to allow the
air to escape. and allowing the water
to come to a boil gradually, you viii
not experience much trouble"

Children Of orchardlsts Raise Pigs.

Children of Orchardlsts Raise Pigs
The pig club of the northwest is
meeting a very enthusiastic response.
especially in the states of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. For some
time the Hood river country has been
noted for its extensive orchards, but
there is now an embryonic industry
starting, which may In time induce a
wider diversihcation in crops. HOG
raising is being introduced by chill
dren, the sons and daughters Of the
~orchardists. Recently a carload nf
brood sows was sent from the Port
land Union stockyards to the Hood
river valley for distribution among
the children. These are furnished on
credit to those who agree to raiso
them In accordance with the prescrib-
ed instructions and to make reports
of their efforts. The sows were select
ed from pure-bred stock. Of the breed
designated by the applicants and have
been bred to bears that won prizes
at the big agricultural fairs last fall.
The hogs have been immunixed
against hog cholera and are good,
healthy animals.
The boys and girls win keep an 40,
curate record of all costs in connec-
ton with their work. and as the little
pigs arrive the expense Of keeping
the mother and her brood are to be
carefully enumerated. The children
will pay for the SOW by selling the
pigs. the stockyards charging 6 per
cent interest on tho selling price Of
the SOW. This places the transaction
on a strictly business basis. The
school officials In each county will
have special supervision of the work.
Among the prizes to be awarded in
each state to those who have the best
reports will be free scholarship for
the state Universities.

genius Scheme.
When potted ferns and ether plants
are set on high shelves. or in bas-
kets out Of easy reach, the daily rou-
tine Of watering them is frequently
a troublesome one requiring the use
Of a stepladder or its equivalent.
An ingenius device which eliminates
this procedure consists Of a cylindrf-
cal can held in a fork at the end Of
a long handle. This mounting is sim
liar to that of the average kerosene
torch and allows the can to tip either
forward or backward.
Near the brim of the receptacle a
