Good Chance to Recreate Perfect Housewife. Almost any sort of farm produce which is used for food can be sold at the wayside market. Fruit lswell adapt ed to roadside selling: vegetables come next: while fruit Juices, honey, eggs, poultry, baked goods, flowers, Jains, and jellies have all been sold success fully. City residents like to buy directly from the farmer, which Is one reason for the Increase In the number of roadside markets. Another reason It that wholesale prices to farmers have been so much lower than retail prices that farmers have made money from direct selling. However, the best way to discourage buyers Is to charge un reasonable prices. It Is unwise to charge as much as the city retail price, but farmers must receive more than the wholesale price to afford to op erate a stand. Prices should also vary with the grade. It Is always desirable to sep arate produce Into different grades, for there are buyers for each quality. Prices may be set according to the prices In the nearest city, with due allowance for distance buyers must come, the grade of produce, and the size of the container. The most profit able roadside market business com»*« from repeat customers, who also are willing to recommend the stand, the produce, and the proprietor to their friends and neighbors. Tree Windbreak Saves Soil Blowing Damage Severe damage to farm lands by strong winds that sweep great quan tities of valuable top soil from fields may he materially reduced by planting windbreak's of trees, or by early spring or fall listing. Planting cross windbreaks of one or two rows of trees at quarter-mile In tervals at right angles to prevailing winds Is suggested by Fred IL John son. regional forest Inspector of the forest service In Denver, and State Forester W. J. Morrill at the Colorado agricultural college. Ruch windbreaks would be In addi tion to shelterbelts around farm build ings. Cross windbreaks at quarter mile Intervals would furnish protec tion against soil blowing for a dis tance of about ten times the height of the trees on the windward side and about 15 to 20 times on the leeward side investigations have shown. As the trees gr-w taller they would pro . .. vide protection for gradually Increas Ing areas. Poultry Expert in Warning Against Blackhead. When young turkeys have reached the age of from eight to ten weeks, move them out to range shelters on clean ground which was free of all poultry, turkeys or poultry manure during the previous year. A good range will afford plenty of green feed, shade and fresh clean water. “At thl* keason of the year, growers usually begin to have trouble with their poults.” says C. F. Parrish, poul try extension specialist at North Caro lina State college. ••Blackhead be gins to develop and this comes. In most cases, from laxity In sanitation. Success with turkeys is dei>endent upon careful management of the grow ing poults. Fresh rang*! Is essential." Parrish says much attention must also be given to supplying the right kind of feed. In general, poults have the same nutritive requirements as chicks. A complete growing ration Is necessary for best results. Such a ra tion will Include animal protein, grain, milk, green feed, minerals and water. Milk Is useful during the first six weeks The same commercial feeds recom mended for chicks may be used with poults. However, one mash hopper five feet long Is needed for ench 75 poults. Two one-gallqn water founts are also needed for this number of the birds. Place the mash hoppers and water founts on wire covered frames made from 2 by 4 timber. It requires about 00 jiounds of feed, exclusive of green feed, to fulfill tho requirements of a poult during the first seven months of Its life. By that time, the poult should weigh from 12 to 14 pounds Always keep turkeys and chickens separate»!, he advises.

The Asl atlcs appeal to many fanciers on ac count of their large size and profuse, soft feathering. The standard lists three varieties of Brahmas, four Co chins. Black and White Langshans. The English division Includes three kinds of Dorkings, four of Orpingtons, three Cornish, three Sussex, besides the Australorps developed from Eng Ush Black Orpingtons in Australia. Sand for Young Ducks To hatch a brood of ducks with a hen has always been an Interesting stunt with young poultry keepers. The ducklings themselves are most engag ing In their ways, and the concern of the mother hen over their taking to the water Is amusing. In many cases the pleasure of the owner Is spoiled by what seems an unaccountable inor tallty among the ducklings. Fed the same as young chickens they are apt to collapse within a day or two. The common cause of this Is that the feed is too rich for them. They are voracious feeders, and when they fill up with a grain mash are apt to have acute Indigestion. The usual method of preventing this is to put coarse sand In the mash the first few days. A good big handful to a quart of mash Is sufficient. Mix thoroughly and let the ducks eat all they want. Weight of Pullets At six months of age Rhode Island Red and Wyandotte pullets should weigh five and a half pounds; Leg horns, three and a half pounds; Ply mouth Rocks, six pounds. They should come Into production during the sixth month. A too early maturity Is likely to result In small birds nnd small eggs While Leghorns usually mature ear ller than the heavier breeds, there Is evidence that the best of them do not and that the rate of maturity Is the same as'that for Rhode Island Reds Writing In the New York V’orld- relegrom. Uretts Palmer. womnn’S page editor, has this to say of tbs "dignity of housekeeping": "It Is too hud that there cannot he friendship between the genera tions who are divided by a century or so of time.
