tumble down on to tbe floors as wltb
tbe old careless way, where eggs are
so often broken uud squabs fall down,
get killed or chilled or mixed np.
The parent birds like the nappy and
are not so apt to nest on the floor or
tear up some other Homer's nest They
sUck to the clean, roomy nest, and
there are no bugs to drive them out.
The squabs stick to the nappy and
are not compelled to Bit on a hard,
dirty board aud thus get sore, swollen
bocks and crooked toes.
Then the nappy is so easy to cleau.
Just a dip In scalding water and all
flltb and vermin are washed away.
These two conveniences cost but little,
but count much for success.
DON'TS.
Don't have eyes and see not and ears
and hear not. Nature now la at her
loveliest To love nature Is to become
lovely and to love nature's God.
Don't expect fertile eggs from over
fat breeders. Feeding much corn
few chicks born.

Hnrrowlug wheat In the spring is a
practice that Is receiving considerable
attention of late yeurn. Where the
ground is compacted hard from beating

with a drag harrow Is good practice.
So far experiments have shown at
the Missouri station, however, tbe bar-
rowing of wheat Is not always sutll-
cleutly beneficial to pay for the work,
although where one barrows in clover

usually a payluc one.
Where the wheat Is badly "heaved'
the use of a heavy roller In the early
spring Is a good practice. All depends.
