We built a box a little larger than a wagon-b<>x and nailed it to the walla ot the ben-houae about 4 het above the ground. Thia Ixix was filled alxiut one third full of chaff an<l grit. The wheat that we feed la thrown into thi* box and the bens are obliged to work for every bite they eat. , Before we built thia box our cliickena hail lice. We bought acme powdered sulphur and threw into thia scratch-box. In tlii* way wtiile the chicken* are scratching for feed they are dusting thelnuelvea witli tile beg’ lotlee killer I know of.

Some capitalists over In Germany, I aided nnd comforted by the imperial government, sought to monopolize and set their own price on phosphate ship ped to the United States. With tills situation as an incentive the depart ment of agriculture has been making some Investigation, and. while the pre liminary work is not yet flushed, enough facta have been gathered to make clear that we have vast deposits of phosphate in our own country, more than enough to supply our needs for generations to come. Florida. Ken tucky, Tennessee and Idaho are states In which deposits are located. In this case, as in many another, necessity la the mother of invention or discovery. | ; I j . A CONDITION—NOT A THEORY. j Tillers of the soil and especially those interested in the production of wheat would do well to realize the meaning of the figures showing ex ports of wheat for the past few years. Figures compiled show that ten years ago the exports of wheat from the United States were sufficient to feed 3C.000.000 people, while last year the amount of wheat exported was barely enough to feed 11.000.000 people. At this rate the balance of trade in wheat . will l>e against us in a half dozen ; years. Two things are responsible for ; tills decrease in exports—an Increase In our population, but. far more than this, a rapid decrease In the produc ! tive capacity of wheat producing lands. ; SAVING STORM BROKEN TREES "When tree, have been severely in jured by storm* or other weather condi tion,, the first impulse of the orchardist is to rip the tree* out," says Prof. C. I. j Lewi* of the horticultural division ol the Oregon Agricultural College in re : sponse to a large number of letters of inquiry regarding the proper handling of the trees broken by the recent “silver thaw." “This would probably be a mistake since, with all trees except one-year-olds, there is a good root system that, if the trees are cut back properly, can be made to force out a strong, vigorous top,"con tinued Prof. Lewis. "Often trees injured by freezing in winter or by sour sap and sunscald in spring, or by rabitts or squirrels, may be cut back in such a way as to force a new top. If the snow or ice has merely broken off the branches, the broken ends , should be cut smooth with a sharp in strument, and wlieie there are two or three buds left on a main branch new branches can geueraly be forced out and a new body be bui't on the tree. "If the branches are all stripped from the tree, it may be simplv cut off below the badly stripped place—in some trees •bout 18 inches above ground. I have found that occaaionlly two or three year olds so treated simply feather out, die buds developing clusters of leaves in stead of forcing out good leading branches. One must expect to lose a few trees in thi* way. On the other hand, they sometimes force out strong new laterals. "Another way is to cut back from 3 to 6 inches from the ground, when strong lateral* may often be forced out which can b.-qiruned the next year likenew tree*, giving the benefit of several things. If the tree forces out three or four laterals of about equal strength, these can be headed back and the tree treated like an open center, very low headed tree, and by in-arching and Intertwining all branches that can grow well together euch crotches can be made much strong er than otherwise. Often it will be ionnd better to remove all but on-- of these new sprouts, and prune it as if it were a new tree. "Trees three years old or more should have another treatment. If they have fairly large bodies. If they are rebud ed or regrafted oneis fairly sure of losing few trees. I would cut thé tree back to about a foot from the ground and in sert a couple of scions, either by cleft graft or bark graft. These would force out a fine growth which will need close watching the coming year, and should be pruned by June or early July, head ing back the rank terminals to force out desirable laterals and keep the tree low beaded. ___ "In cases of sour sap, sunscald, or in jury by rabbits and squirrel, where the tree, are girdled, they may be cut off below the point of injury and good strong shoot* will be sent out. The root system of the tree is uninjured and will furnish an enortreus amount of sap, and the buds forced out will pro bably be slroug. “Only in rare cases would I take the trees out roite and all. Occasionally when the tope seem ladiy injured from uncongenial weather, the spiouta will be forced out, yet the top remain alive. If it seems to be vigorous I would cut off the sprout at the ground, but if there is question as to the vigor of the top and Done at all as to the strength of the sprouts, I would remove the old top and train tbe sprout into a new tree. If the sprout comes out above the graft, as is usual, grafting will be unnecessary. Rebudding or regrafting to a desired variety will be necessary if the sprout, come out below. Lame back may come from over-work, cold settled in tbe muscles of tbe back, or from disease. In tbe two former cases the right remedy is BALLARD’S SNOW LINIMENT. It should lie robbed in thoroughly over the affected part, tbe relief will be prompt and satisfac tory. Price 25c, 50c, and $1.00 per bot tle. Sold by Lent« Pharmacy. STYLISH AND COMFORTABLE.
