Where trees are. not at hand, artificial shade must be provided for the chick ens, or little need be looked for in the way of growth- The ideal shade for young chickens is a raspberry or black berry patch, but, where neither this nor trees are to be had, make a small cov ering' like that suggested in the cut. SHADE FOR THE CHICKS. The framework is of laths nailed to gether, and the whole covered as shown with cheap cotton cloth. Do not bring the covering down-to the ground either oa the sides or ends, but give free ac cess to the air on all sides. The chicken-raiser will be wise, how ever, if he plants several rows of rasp berries at one side of the yard. The chicks will fertilize the bushes and keep the weeds down, and in retiirn will be comfortably shaded during all the hot days of summer. And last, but not least, the owner will have many a dish of most appetizing berries. N. Y. Trib une. CARE OF CHICKENS. To Be Successful One Matt Not Be Afraid of Work. See that your fowls have everything to promote health, nothing that will hurt or destroy. Vermin should not be allowed to enter the fowls' house; but, should they get in, the best thing to do is to pull off your coat and get to work. Thoroughly clean and whitewash the house and nests and kerosene the roosts. Sitting hens are a great prey to lice. Put. clean broken straw in the nest, take the hen by the legs, breast on the floor, and rub sulphur through the feathers and let her sit for 24 hours before placing the eggs. A day or so before tie chickems are due use a good insect powder the same way the sul phur was put on. Have a dust bath j handy and the hen will do the rest. When the chicks are hatched look for vermin on their heads. If any, rub a small quantity of any fresh grease where you see them. Do not take the hen and newly-hatched chicks out of the nest at once, but let them brood for a couple of days. Feed the hen the chicks don't need anything. Keep the youngsters out of the early morning dew until ten or fourteen days old. Don't feed wet, raw cornmeal to spring chicks. Feed bread crumbs, hard boiled eggs, granulated oatmeal, baked corncake and millet, seed. When two weeks old shoot the neighbor's dog and keep your own cat in the cellar. Da kota Field and Farm. EXCHANGING EGGS. A Practice Which la Permitted to .Flourish Too Freely. It is not unusual to have a neighbor request you to exchange eggs with him, and such neighbor may nave been the firsit to condemn your enterprise in purchasing new blood and pure breeds. As a rule every farmer who steps out side of tihe beaten path or ventures into something better is at once classed as a crank or a book farmer; but sooner or later his neighbors will show a will ingness to obtain his stock if they can "exchange" with him. He must go to the expense of bringing the stock into the community, and if he fails he is set down as lacking in intelligence; but when he succeeds he receives no credit. There is no reason why one should ex change eggs of pure breeds for those from scrub fowls any more than a Jer sey calf should be exchanged for one from a nondescript cow. When esrgs are sold for hatching they represent something more than their value for the table. Those who buy them do not want eggs, but stock, the eggs rep rr.ting the embryo young of the de sired breed. Any farmer who procures pure breeds should be encouraged by his neighbors, as he benefits the whole community. Rural World. Care for Feather Eating. I have experienced considerable dif ficulty in effectually curing fowls of the bad habit of feather eating, and found the following- a certain cure after fail ing1 with paraffin, paring the bill, etc.: Take a piece of wire of the thickness of an ordinary hairpin, bind it round the top portion of the bill near the end, sufficiently tight as. not to allow it to slip off. This will not prevent the bird from eating or drinking, but will pre vent its closing its bill sufficiently tight to draw feathers, and the bad habit is soon forgotten. California Poultry Keeper. Don't Market Lean Fowls. It costs about five cents to produce a pound of poultry, even at the heaviest J feeding, says a writer in the American j Poultry Advocate. A poor hen weigh ing' six pounds can be gottp- f the weight of eight pounds in f twenty days sejdom more than two weeks and if the market price is 12 cents per pound she will bring 14 cents, owing to the extra quality, but allowing 12 cents per pound she will bring one dollar. . . i PLANTING THE CORN, Have the Soil Mellow ud Fine ud '. Stirred Deep. . ' If a good stand of corn. is secured, care must be taken first to have good seed and tihen to plant under such con ditions as will bring a quick germina tion of the seed and a thrifty start to grow. Plants, like animals, are easily' stunted when young, and no after treat ment will wholly overcome the effects' of stunting. " ' " While it is best to plant reasonably early, it is of no advantage to plant when the soil is wet or cold, or before it has been carefully prepared. Better delay the planting rather than to plant under unfavorable conditions. Corn is a crop that should germinate in a short time after the seed is planted, and the plants should make a steady growth to maturity. Plow deep and thorough. If- the ground has been plowed during the fall or winter go over it with a disk or spading harrow. It is an item to have the soil mellow and fine and stirred reasonably deep. ; Taking one year with another, deep plowing or stirring of the soil before planting should be the rule, with shal low, thorough cultivation afterwards. It is only occasionally that it will be best to plow or cultivate deep after the plants are up. Generally thorough stir ring of the soil keeping down the weeds, and the soil fine and mellow, will give better results than to plow or culti vate deep. Rather more and belter corn can. be grown by planting in drills than in hills, but it is nearly always done at an increased cost. In nearly all cases it will cost more to give clean cultiva tion with drill-planting than with hill. But where the land is free from weeds, so "that the cost of cultivating is not increased too much, drill planting will give the best growth and yield. But in an average soil, it is usually more economical to plant in hills far enough apart each way, so that cultiva tion can be given both ways. One ad vantage in using only good seed and planting under the most favorable con ditions is that just the number of plants wanted in each hill, that many kernels of corn can be dropped. While it is better to thin out than to replant, both of these may usually ba avoided by using good seed and tak ing care in planting. When the soil is warm and' dry deep covering will be best. If the soil is rather wet or cold, it will be best to cover shallow. The fertility of the soil must determine the number of stalks in each hill. It is better- to have one or two strong, vigorous plants than three or four small, un thrifty ones. It is better to thin out than to let the plants stand so thick as to stunt their growth. St. Louis Republic. TRAP FOR SMALL GAME. It Is Just a.s Good as the Most Expen sive Contrivances. This trap can be made by any farm er's boy; a is a trap door held up by two cords attached to lever b, which rests on fulcrum c; e, a trigger, is a short stick made as illustrated, and is attached to the end of lever by a short cord. The trigger passes through a small hole in the top of the trap, and A HOMEMADE TRAP. catches on the front edge. The sketch shows the trap set. Grain is used for bait, but carrots or cabbage are much liked by rabbits. Place the bait in the further end of the trap so that it can not be taken out without touching the trigger, which flies up and down drops the door, caging the game. G. L. Kuney, in Farm and Home. Early Potato Blight. The early blight of potatoes does not cause the tubers to rot. A more or less rapid drying and curling of the leaves and stems marks the presence of the disease. The edges of the leaves are first visibly affected ; the color changes to a yellowish brown, while the cen- ; tral parts of the leaflets gradually be- I come lighter green, or even yellow, i and more or less spotted. The early blight of potatoes may be treated with partial success by means of the Bor deaux mixture. The vines should be sprayed w hen about two-thirds grown, and the application should be repeated as often as necessary, the foliage at ali times being well covered with the mix ture. Western Plowman. Clover Pastare Is Best. The best pasture for celts, calves, lambs and pigs is clover, but it is still better to have a variety of pasturage plants, such as blue grass, orchard grass, red top, timothy and red clover. Let these seeds be well mixed and care fully sown and those best adapted to the soil will soon assert themselves and give largest and best growth of pastur age. Now is the time to scatter the seed. Plow well, harrow finely, sow the seed, let it become well established and you will have pastures that you will be proud of. Rural World. This Is Worth Remembering. A wag-on box ten feet long, three feet wide -and 25 inches deep will hold 27.8 bushels of ear corn and 50.2 bushels of shelled corn. A crib ten feet wide, ten feet high and 16 feet long will hold 711 bushels of ear corn. t pfir corn, one bushel is contained in 2J4 cubic feet. In figuring shelled corn or grain the same space will hold 1 4-5 times us much grain as it will of ear corn. crib that will. hold 800 bushel"; of corn will hold of shelled corn or other g-ain 1,440 bushels.
