(TbU matter muat not ba reprinted with'
out special permission.
Life ha held great Joy this spring
for the small boy who was so fortunate
as to possess a pair of rubber boots.
The wading was fine.
The poultryman living la the warmer
climate does not bare to bother with
frozen combs, but be has a correspond'
Inglj bigger trouble on his hands as
the result of Inroads of lice and mites.
There are flocks of bens that net
their owners from $2 to f 4 per head
yearly. There are others that don'
net more than from 20 to 40 cents.
part of this difference In Income Is due
to the hens, but more to the man and
the care.
While the Impression seems to be
somewhat general that a cow's milk Is
richest when she Is fresh, tests show
that milk contains the largest per cent
of butter fat when the cow is far ad'
ranred in her period of lactation In
fact, just before she goes dry.
California Is the only state which
makes a production of borax. The
outout for 1010, according to the
United States geological surrey, was
42.357 short tons, having a value of a
trifle over $200,000. About one-half of
the amount of borax consumed Is in
the enameling Industry, In the making
of kitchen and sanitary ware.
In case it should be found nec
essary to use seed corn of a rather
low germinating power far better re
sults will be secured If the seed bed
Is put In extra good tilth and If the
planUng of the corn Is put over until
the ground Is thoroughly warm. Such
seed will need the most favorable con
ditions, and these should be provided
so far as possible.
A good pair of eyes and a sharp knife
may be able to distinguish with con
slderable accuracy as between a dead
and a live germ In a kernel of corn,
but the combination falls down when it
comes to telling a kernel with a vigor
ous germ from one in which the germ
is weak. Herein lies the chief argu
ment In favor of the test box. which
shows plainly what kernels are dead
and what are strong and weak.
Few farmers feel that they have
time to give to an elaborate corn breed
ing plot, but none of them Is so busy
that be can't take time to select the
best hundred ears In bis supply of
seed and, after testing to be sure of
Its vitality, plant in a plot on the
south or west sides of his main field.
Doing this will not only simplify the
matter of selecting the seed ears next
fall, but the location of the best and
most thrifty type of corn in the posi
tion mentioned will mean that much
of the remainder of the field will be
fertilized by the tassels on these bet
ter stalks.
A reader of these notes who some
years ago lived at Trinidad. Colo., sue
ceeded in ridding her house of cock
roaches after trying a number of things
by putting some of the following mix
ture In several places on the floor
where they were In the habit of run
ning: Equal parts powdered sugar and
powdered borax, scented with a few
drops of essence of oil of lavender.
Whether the Insects ate of this com
bination and found It did not agree
with their digestive gearing or wheth
er they were offended at the smell of
lavender Is not stated. At any rate,
they quit the place.
With popcorn so popular an .article
of consumption as It Is, there is no
farm In any portion of the corn belt
that should not grow a patch to sup
pi? the family needs. Popcorn will do
well on any land that will produce a
good crop of corn. It should be culti
vated and cared for In tbo same gen
eral manner as corn, though It may
be planted more closely. It ripens In
bout 100 days, and It should be
shocked as soon as It Is ripe, so that
It will dry out well before husking. It
will produce from fifty to sixty bushels
of ears with a good stand, and this will
fetch from $1 to $2 per bushel.
According to a recent report of the
pClsconsIn state dairy commissioner, 100
pounds of American cheese whey as it
comes from the vat contains Ave and
three-fourths pounds of milk sugar,
fourteen ounces of nitrogenous matter
nd five ounces of butter fnt. Of the
three elements mentioned by far the
most Important Is the milk sngar, but
the value of this Is largely lost, as
whey Is usually allowed to sour. If
heated at once to 150 degrees F. the
bacterial life contained Is killed, with
the result that the milk sugar retains
Its form and does not change to lactic
acid. Farmers living In the vicinity of
cheese factories would do well to take
this fact Into consideration and see
that the whey byproduct of the factory
Sterilized In the manner mentioned.
Cleanliness will do much to Improve
the quality of butter In fact, first
quality depends upon cleanliness of
the raw material. .
If you don't believe In keeping cows
comfortable visit the stsbles of the
men who get large milk checks. That
ought to convince you.
That black silk dress that you prom
ised the good wife some time ago and
that you have put off getting will do
her a lot more good If she can wear it
to kirk or a party with you some day
soon than as a shroud for her as she
lies In ber coffin.

If the currant or gooseberry bushes
become infested with, worms the pest
can be abated by dusting the bushes
with powdered white hellebore or
spraying them with a solution made
by adding the hellebore at the rate of
a tablespoonful to a quart of water.
It may be evidence of a monkey an
cestry to like them, but on the ap
proach of spring there Is absolutely
nothing that goes to the spot like
dish (a good sized one) of greens. As
accessories there should be boiled pots
toes and a piece of well cooked salt
pork.
The dandelion Is a perennial pest,
and worse some seasons than others.
There are two methods of getting rid
of It One is to take a sharp knife
and cut the plants off just below the
crown. The other and this metnod is
recommended for larger areas Is to
spray the young and tender plants
with a strong solution of Iron sul
pbate or green vitriol. This puts the
plants out of commission, but does not
seriously injure the grass.
The milk distributers' trust In the
New England states has forced or Is
keeping the price It Is willing to pay
for milk down to the point where a
good many farmers cannot produce it
and make both ends met, with the re
sult that In some sections farmers are
quitting the dairy business entirely
and going into poultry raising. It
would seem that If enough do this it
would materially Improve the market
conditions for those that keep on with
the cows.
The severity of the past winter was
shown in the freezing over of many
takes so completely that all air holes
were closed. Now that the Ice in
these lakes has disintegrated the result
f the closing of these air holes is mani
fest in the presence of thousands of
dead fish floating to the shore. At
Lake Winona, Minn., so many fish died
by suffocation during the winter that
the health authorities had no small
job on their bands disposing of their
decaying carcasses.
A farmer living near Tuyallup,
Wash., has carried out the color
scheme to the limit In his choice of
animals which he raises. Ills prefer
ence Is white, and be has carried It
out in white buildings and fences,
white horses and ponies, white cattle.
hogs, sheep and goats, chickens, ducks
geese, turkeys and guinea fowls. Not
satisfied with his outlay, he has Spits
dogs and Terslan cats, an albino elk.
three white deer, a mountain sheep
and a polar bear cub.
In the valley in which the writer's
ranch is located there Is frequently
considerable damage to older apple
trees from sun scald, the damage re
sulting from the warm, bright days.
followed by frosty nights. This season
we have safeguarded against this
dumage by tying long pine shakes on
he southwest side of each trunk.
This will shade them and keep the
sap from flowing too rapidly. This sun
scald damage is likely to occur at any
Ume during the winter, but Is often
most serious during April and May
The housewife can save herself much
bard labor at housccleaning time by
the use of her head that is, by study
ing best methods and by employing all
the substitutes for "elbow grease she
can And. Along this line It will pay
her to read the household bints found
In the various magaslues published for
women. While many of the sugges
tions therein contained are imprac
ticable, If not Indeed ridiculous, still
some ideas are furnished which are
well worth consideration and trial by
busy women whose work at best is not
light.
Many a young wife, all unconscious
ly, places ber husband In a trying po
sition by incurring expenditures quite
beyond bis means. In many instances
the blame for this state of affairs Is
chargeable largely to the husband be
cause of his failure to take bis wife
into bis confidence. Many a home has
been wrecked or had its happiness
largely destroyed through failure on
the part of the husband to inform his
wife of his exact financial status. It
is her light to know the volume of the
Income. If she does and is not willing
to co-operate In making both ends
meet, then the blame rests on herself.
A bill has been passed by both
houses of congress and has doubtless
ere this appears In print received the
gnature of the president, which
makes some radical and much needed
changes In thenatton.il homestead laws.
In a general way the new law is pat
terned after the Canadian homestead
laws, which are said to have been re
sponsible for much of the emigration
from the United States to Canada. The
period the homesteader Las to reside
on his claim Is reduced from five to
three years, while the entryman and
bis family are allowed to be away from
the claim five months during each
year.
