Farm Topics

Cold frames, hot beds, and sash
houses are used to start early or
tender crops.
Farm economists are recon-
mending that farmers pay cash and
buy in quantity.
Protection from dampness and
from drafts are the two require
ments that most poultry houses fail
to meet.
Feeding experiments indicate that
beef heifers fatten faster than steers
in a feeding period of less than $50
days.
Ten per cent of the total of eggs
produced in the United States in re-
cent years is estimated to have
gone into cold storage.
Buckwheat is good when mixed
with other grains but in small guam
titles, not more than one fourth of
the total ration. 1t is better to feed
it in winter than ju summer.

Infertile Eggs Will
Hold Flavor Better

Infertile eggs will hold their flavor
better and will keep fresh longer in
hot weather. To obtain this type Of
eggs, all male birds should be sold
when Matching is completed, and
plans made to replace them for an
other year with pedigreed males
from dependable breeder or at
least with males from a reliable
source.
Experts offer these other sugges-
tions for successful flock manage
ment; Don't sell out the flock Of
hens but Gull out instead. Keep
the birds that are and have been
heavy layers as indicated by worn
feathers, plump red combs and wat
ties, bright and wide-awake eyes,
bleached beak and shanks and
full, soft, flexible abdomen free
from hard Jumps of fat
Since summer days are long
enough for birds to consume enough
mash without stimula ting them, as
is the case when a wet mash is
fed, it will pay to start cutting down
on the amount given each day until
the practice is stopped entirely.

Suggest Caustic Potash
To Remove Cow Horns

In the wild state, cows may have
needed their horns for defense, but
under modern conditions they are Of
no practical value except from the
standpoint of beauty, say Washing
ton State college dairymen, who
recommend that horns be removed
from calves at an early age.
Horns may be removed with caus-
tic when the calf is about a week
old. Caustic potash in sticks may
be used for this purpose. Tie the
animal securely then clip an area
over and around the horn BUTTON
about the size Of half dollar. Cow
er this area with vaseline to prevent
the caustic from burning beyond
the horn area.
Wrap one end of the caustic in
paper to prevent burning the fin
gers of the operator. Place the stick
of caustic over the center of the
horn button and rub with circular
motion until the caustic has gone
through the skin and into the center
of the horn button. Some practice
is necessary to achieve the best re-
suits.
Do not turn the calf out in the rain
for day or two and do not allow
other calves to lick the treated horn
buttons.

MilkWeeds Poisonous,
Sometimes Kill Stock

Whorled milkweeds are poisonous
to live stock and sometimes cause
losses among horses, cattle and
sheep.
Whorled milkweeds have slender
stalks. The leaves are narrow and
are from two to three inches long.
They develop in clusters or whorls
of several needlelike leaves around
the stalk. The flowers are of green
ish white. The botanist's name for
this weed is Asclepias virticillata.
Common milkWeeds have heav-
Ter stalk than the whorled variety.
The leaves are comparatively broad,
oblong in shape, and placed on op-
posite sides of the stalk. The flow
ers are of rose purple. The botan-
ical name is Asclepias syriaca. The
swamp variety is known botanically
as Asclepias incarnata. 1t has a
larger, deeper-hued blossom than
the common milkweed.
Milkweeds are deeply rooted per-
ennial plants, producing seeds in
pods, with fosslike material in
side the pods. The pods of the COM
mon milkweed are larger than those
of the whorled or swamp milkweed.

Turning Eggs

Some authorities assert that when
eggs are Matched in an incubator
they should be turned three or more
times a day from the third to the
eighteenth day. Be sure the hands
are clean and free from oil or grease
when the eggs are turned. If
Matched under hen, this handling
is unnecessary as the hen will take
care of the necessary moving. How
ever, all Matching eggs should be
candled on the seventh day and all
infertile eggs removed.

Too Many "Ifs"
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 The Presidents parting words to his friends at Warm Springs spoken to a crowd at the railroad station just before his train pulls out for Washington
 I'll be back in the fall if we don't have war
 Many in America saying thinking much he same thing They will do this or that, embark one project or another follow policy differ ent policy-if we don't have war
 The seriousness of the situation is not, of course to be minimzed. We stand, indeed, in the shadow of forebodng events And this fact in itself is reason enough for Americans to avoid any attitude which may suggest that for this country is inevitable
 A defeatist mood tends to materialize the very fears which inspire it. If everybody in the United States to decide some day that this country could not possibly avoid entanglement in a great war the decision itself would make practically inevi- table Groundless pessimism is silly pollyannish optimism
 The sensible course always is expressed in the familiar old phrase: Put your trust in Providence but keep your powder dry" Only one cannot afford to put too much emphasis the trust and too little the powder!
 Our attitude in these troublous days ought to be that of people wary but not discouraged; aware of the pitfalls which lie in the path of democracy but determined to avoid them; ready to take up arms if necessary, but by convinced that it will be- come necessary This is the psychology of determna tion not of defeatism It recognizes there are ways to keep out of war, everyone knows by now there ways of getting into it without conscious intention
 Men sometimes leap over precipices jump from high windows for no better reason than that they had felt for a long time they would sometime do SO Is it not possible for nation abhorring war to get into war for no better reason?
 Let's not say even to ourselves that war is in- evitable that it is probable Rather, let us insist that America keep out of if it tries that it proposes to keep out and be confident of the ability of hundred million believers democracy to steer their government away from the abyss of international bloodshed.
 This does not mean any relaxation on the policy of national defense. It may mean, instead, Dhasis on the fundamental importance of adequate defensive measures. It means a sensible position the neutrality issue. Certainly, it means stern re- pression of the impulse to go about ones daily work long faced and discouraged prophets of disaster
 War may come of course. This has always been true. But it won't be averted postponed single hour by continually insisting it's inevitability
 We need a psychology of hopefuness, modified by determination to do whatever is necessary to keep away from this continent. No free people ever went 10 against it's will. We cannot conceive of America doing

cHoroscobe The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1889

This should be a profitable date for rounding up business affairs, ac- cording to astrology. Strongly benef- ic aspects dominate.
 Good news concerning interna- tional agreements and peace pacts may be received before this month closes. Commerce will be stimulat- d and trade improved.
 Under this sway disagreements between employers and employees may be less stubborn than they have been. Today adjustments may be possible in industries where bit ter contests threaten.
 AS nations make concessions, in- dustrial groups will reflect the spirit displayed in international af- fairs. The seers warn, however, that there is potential victory for the weak, if right is represented
 Writers are under a most promis- ing sign. Increased interest in news papers and periodicals will benefit editors and publishers. Radio poli- cies are to change and closer CO., operation with the press is forecast
 Women should find this an i'm portant date for social affairs. It is most fortunate for weddings, since hearts and heads should be well balanced in guiding new partner ships
 Girls are warned that the stars presage odd economic changes in which men not only compete in the usual white collar voca tions but seek employment long assigned to wo- men.
 All women who hope to reach high positions in business and the pro- fessions must reveal unusual talents and must receive thorough educa- tion or training
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of hard work that promises profit. The wise will tell little of their plans or ambi- tions.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be keen of wit and strong of intellect. Many of these subjects of Taurus depend for success upon brilliant personalities, but they will be energetic in whatever interests them professionally
