FACTS FOR FARMERS
Tilings Worth TlUiiklnir About.
A gjood many farmers who neglect
ed to plant an orchard and shado trues
while they we.ro young waBte more
time now wishing thi;y had them
than it would have taken to plant
them In the beginning.
Worrying over mistakes has caused
a man to lose a crop many a time.
After a mistake is made worrying
won't help It, but a little healthy ef
fort In the right direction often will.
It Is about as profitable to try to
do two things at once as it Is to try to
rale two crops on the same piece of
ground at the same time.
After I have watched a man teach
a calf to drink out of a pall I know
that I really know him.
It all the fence corners and waste
potH now given over to worthless
weeds were planted In fruit trees the
face of the landscape would be chang
ed for the better.
No man can keep a stiff upper lip
If his moral backbone Is limber.
Too Much Corn.
Poultry raisers should avoid feed
ing too much corn, as it has a tend
ency to make the hens too fat and
ause them to be shy In egg produc
tion. Neither should hot bran mash
be fed, as It makes loafers out of the
hens.
The best way to feed grain is to
throw It In litter on the floor and
make the chickens scratch for It, as
this gives them the necessary exer
cise. Bran, cornmeal and meat scraps
or meat meal make a good combina
tion to feed In a hopper, that all be
ginners In the chicken business should
have, as It prevents waste.
The rueful Silo.
The silo Is a text which 1s always
nwplrlng to the man who knows Its
Talue and it cannot be preached from
too often. Wherever It Is seen It de
notes good farming. It solves the
problem of turning Into the highest
efficiency that portion of the corn
crop which falls to reach the desired
maturity as feed. The silo can be
filled at less expense than the same
amount of dry feed can be cared for
and U makes better feed. This Is. af
ter all the main point to consider.
Dalrvmen hnve learned that when
cows are kept In the stable for five to
seven, months they cannot return as
satisfactory profits If they are con
fined to a ration of dry feed slone.
Ensllago gives succulence and Is very
much easier to masticate and digest
thsn dry com fodder. There Is also
a great saving of labor In feeding en
silage, over feeding dry corn fodder.
The Initial expense keeps many a si
lo from decorating the landscape but
It Is good praetlre to economize' In
other directions to provide for It.
Once built and rightly built It wIU
not have to bo renewed for many
years, so the cost Is spread out so
thinly that It cuts no great figure In
the business of feeding. 8. C. Miller.
hen produces annually a crop equal
In value to that' of the winter and
spring wheat, and three times more
valuable than tho ol clip of tho
country. It is equl to 2 1-2 times the
value of the potato crop and largely
In excess of tho farm value of all the
oats raised In the country.
No flock of hens can do their best
on a one grain diet, they must have a
variety. Let bran be the foundation,
cotton-seed meal one-tenth and then
add anything you have handy for a
mash and be sure they have green
feed and some meat.
When hatching duck eggs under a
hen the eggs should be sprinkled with
water occasionally as In hatching
duck eggs require more moisture than
hen eggs.
Hot mash should not be fed to
chickens; It overheats thorn and the
cooling off that follows makes them
liable to catch cold.
The scratching litter on the floor
of the chicken house should be chang
ed often In order that It may be kept
clean and dry.
Keep a record of tho number, of
eggs your hens lay In winter, and save
the eggs of the best layers for hatch
ing. Like begets like.
When the sun shines, open the win
dows on the south side of the chicken
house and let the sunlight In.
Texas Is credited with having more
turkeys than any other state In the
union. Great is Texas.
Non-producing hens in a flock eat
just as much grain and other feed as
the good layers. By watching the
hens and keeping tab on them In their
laying season, the good layers can be
discovered, and then you can cull the
flock, selling the drones , and killing
them for your own use.
Egg shells are largely lime, and
hens can't make good shells unless
fid food that has plenty of lime In
It. "
It never pays to market a fowl that
Is poor In flesh; always fatten them
well before selllnr.
Do nSt forget that chickens need
green food to take the place of green
grass, etc., of which they consume
great quantities In summer. This
may be supplied In the form of cab
bage leaves, apples, mangelwurzels
and steamed green alfalfa.
Always sun the Incubator three or
four days before putting the eggs In.
so that It will bo properly warmed
through and through and the regula
tor in perfect working order and
properly adjusted.
It costs no more to keep a pure
bred hen than It does to keep a mon
grel, and the pure-bred Is twice as
profitablo the the only kind. Rals
pure-breds only.
It is a bad Idea to change the loca
tion of hens when they are laying; It
cuts down egg production. Let well
enough alone.
Onions chopped fine once a week
makes a fine tonic ration that helps
keep broilers lively and healthy.
PRIESTS ARE SMOOTH. v
They Know How to Work tho '-Faithful"
Ones In Money Matters,
Paris. llnfluence wielded over the
rr-liKlously faithful has played an Im
portant part In events accompanying
troubles of the dissolved congrega
tions Radicals and socialists pre
dict that approximately 10,000 would
be netted by the state because of the
dissolution, and It was hoped to pro
vide old age pensions to a greater or
lesser extent aH a result.
Seven hundred congregations, ac
cording to official pronunclnmento,
were to be "relieved of their vast, Ill
acquired .and Ill-used wealth." The
liquidation of this supposed hoard was
begun eight years ago. There still
remain about 800 liquidations to be
effected, and the results, while still
more or less Indefinite, are distinctly
disappointing. A ridiculous overesti
mate of the wealth of the French con
gregations had been made, and this
accounts for the disappointment. .
Charges of graft are now making j
frequent appearance. Reports made j
under parliamentary auspices give i
strong hints of over-charges made by :
officials, particularly in the shape or;
large bills which have no foundation
in fact. Greater than this, however, i
has been the loss occasioned by priests j
and monks, who have advised their
parishioners to refrain from bidding
at sales, and have then bought In the I
property thempolves at low figures.
The Rural Route Auto.
The little mall wagon is doomed to
go the way of all other slow-moving
contrivances. It Is too slow fortwen
tteth century people Our mall must
be delivered more quickly, we want
what we want when we want It, not
the day after or even the hour after.
The auto is the logical successor of
this little mail wagon, and its com
ing fast. It Is already In use In some
sections with perfect satisfaction nd
now Uncle Sam Is sitting up and tak
ing notice of the demand for Its ex
tension. Some entorprlslng congressman has
started a movement by Introducing a
bill to establish an experimental auto-post
rural service, on certain routes
to be selected by the postmaster gen
eral. One of the conditions Is that
the routes selected for the experiment
shall embrace only well graded and
macadamized roads. The auto-coaches
are to be equipped for carrying
mall, merchandise, baggage and pas
cngors, the capacity to be at least
ten passengers and fifteen hundred
nounds of baggage. The round trip
fare to any point Is to be ten cents for
adults and five for children. The
speed capacity of the auto-coach to
be ant less than 100 miles a day.

A PIG STORY.
Sow Comes Oat of Grain Stack With

That story from Hooper about a
pig living burled In a crib of corn for
three months that was , published in

ago has started a flood of burled pig
stories and the end Is not yet
Another correspondent from Max

a year ago. he says, whilo stacking

months later while threshing out came
a sow with six small shoats which
wore apparently all right except that
they had very little hair on. Several
