Farm Telephones.
In some parts of the country tele
phones are becoming very common. It
seems that once a telephone Is estab
lished In the family it Is there to stay.
Other sections of the country are very
much behind the times In this respect,
probably because no one has gone
ahead with the preliminary arrange
ments, A farm telephone is not only a great
luxury, but It Is fast becoming an ab
solute necessity. With the addition of
more business to the farm every year
and the scarcity of labor anything that
saves steps is worth money. When
you get accustomed to doing business
over the telephone you realize its
great value. ,
A short time ago I heard a farmer
order 100 bushels of seed oats by
phone from another farmer about ten
miles away. He had seen a sample
at the fair last fall and made the ne
gotiations accordingly. The business
was transacted In about five minutes
while the farmer was sitting at his
desk after reading his morning mall
left at the box by the rural ueiltei'
man. It would have taken him all
day to get his mail and drive to the
other farmer and buy his seed oats.
But there Is a social side to farm
life that Is fostered by the telephone.
It often happens that a woman Is left
alone for the day and she can easily
make arrangements to have a .neigh
bor call and spend the time pleasant
ly, Instead of feeling lonely. Then it
Is so easy to make social arrangements
for evenings or to meet friends as oc
casion requires.
There are always people In a neigh
borhood who are public-spirited
enough to go ahead with the necessary
arrangements to establish a telephone
service. Others should encourage them
promptly by subscribing to the fund
required. Everybody Is benefited, be
cause the arrangement Is mutual In
the neighborhood. Agricultural

The accompanying plan of trap nest
is quite simple and can be made from
a box of suitable size. It should be
12 or 14 Inches square bv 20 or 24
Inches long. The slats should be nailed
to a crossplece about one-quarter the
distance from the top. A couple of
nails are driven through the box and
into the crossplece to swing on. Half
way back, on the Inside, a narrow
OPEN.
CLOSED,
piece of board is nailed, back of which
the nest is made.
To set the trap simply raise the
slats inward from the bottom 8 or 9
inches high and place a small stick
under one of the slats. As the hen
enters the door Is raised off the stick,
which falls to the floor. There should
be about five slats for a box 12 or 14
inches in width, slats close against
inch strip at bottom.

Hoar Cholera.
In the way of treatment the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry has
discovered a vaccine which saves
about 80-odd per cent after cholera ap
pears In a herd, and a larger per cent
If vaccinated before the disease Is In
troduced. Time will demonstrate the
practicability of this method. The
bacteriology department of the Kansas
State Agricultural College is also
working along these lines, but is not
yet ready to announce anything but
progress.
When symptoms of cholera appear
In a herd. It Is wise to dip the whole
herd, disinfect their quarters thor
oughly, give them a slight change In
feed, and add to this about five drops
of tincture of prickly ash for each
hundred pounds of hog once or twice a
day. The" old remedy of wood ashes
and salt Is good in many instances. A
little powdered sulphate of copper,
dried sulphate of Iron or charcoal
given dally when the animals are not
perfectly healthy frequently does much
good. After all, the old adage, an
ounce of prevention Is worth a pound
of cure, holds good here.

Fertilizer Is expensive. By the old
method of distributing It there wa
usually enough wasted t6 represent I
pretty penny. Then camt
along a Virginia man and
invented the hand fer
tilizer dropper. This de
vice consists of an odd
shaped bucket, running
to a point at the bottotr
and having a small open
lng there, through whict
the contents filters. A
hinged valve, operated by
a rod that leads to the handle of th
bucket, controls the flow. The top ol
the rod Is connected to a crossbar,
which runs under the handle of th
bucket. This bar Is in close reach,
and, when resting on the top of the
bucket the valve is open. To close th
valve the operator merely extends a
finger and lifts the bar, thus shutting
off the fertilizer. The valve flares at
the bottom, spreading the fertilizer la
a broad, fine stream. For small farms,
gardens and lawns this device Is ol
great convenience, and is a money
saver. Water fur the Chicks.
Take an ordinary baking pan and
have the tinsmith rivet on an "ear"

Have him also make a hole in the
bottom In one corner, that the water
can be let out every day and the pan
be kept clean. Nail the pan to a tree
about twelve inches from the ground,
so the chicks can drink without get

will soon discover that It is a fine
place from which to get a drink on
hot days. Sometimes they find, too,
that It Is a convenient place for a
bath, and this of course makes the
water dirty. But it is not much trou
ble to refill the pan with clean water,
and this should be done two or three
times a day. Chickens and birds re
