Indianapolis News. Hm Doa't Like Xew Home. Fowls are very fond of their homes and dislike being moved to new loca tions. If eggs are the object It Is most Important that birds should not be moved from lien to pen, as it will de lay egg production and also diminish the supply. Pullets for early laying should. If possible, be brought up with in sight of their future laying run or lien. On the contrary. If it is wished to delay the laying of a pullet, and to encourage growth for prize purposes, her borne must be changed often. A sitting or broody hen may le Interfered with by removing her to a new scene and fresh companions a more reason able and humane way of checking her maternal Instincts than that of half drowning her, shutting her up In dark ness or resorting to other cruel meth ods. Points on KatalnaT Geese. Have one guilder to four geese, no more. Give them u good run. Do not try to change their nests, hut let them set where they lay. Tuke first eggs and set under hens, as a goose will sometimes lay thirty to forty eggs in the season. Goslings should not be al lowed to run In water or tall, wet grass, but should have a good grass run, grass that Is short and green. Feed dried bread moistened with milk, cooked dry potatoes or cooked corn meal. Do not feed tbem too much at first, and mix some grit and sand with their feeds. Ronp Remedy. The fowls should be placed In a dry, warm and well ventilated, house, and have plenty of fresh water and scalded bran or other light food. Take of fine ly pulverized, fresh-burnt charcoal and of new yeast each three parts, of pul verized two parts, of flour one and one half as much pulverized cayenne as flour. Water enough to mix well, and roll Into balls or pills the size of a na Kelnut, give one three times a day. Canadian Wheat Crops. The official Canadian spring wheat crop report forwarded by Consul J. II. Woman of Three Rivers shows the wheat acreage. Increased by 500,000 over last year's record. This raises Manitoba over the 3,000,000 mark for that cereal alone. The land sown to oats Is 1,155,061 acres, an Increase of 124,722, while the barley acreage has nearly reached 500,000, being, In fact, 474,242. The total Increase in the grain acreage over last year Is 615336. The other crop also show an Increased acreage. U 11 ft . I I'm Kill Sassafras Roots. Says one writer: Sassafras Is one of the worst pints that some farmer have to contend with. It may he grubbed year after year and every root taken out that can be. and still there will be roots left that will sprout up. and soon the sassafras will be thicker thau ever, and the area of sassafras brush will be enlarged rather than diminished. Xo amount of grubbing will permanent ly rid a field of sassafras. The most successful method of lighting sassafras I have ever tried Is to cut off the sprout at the top of the ground and to pasture with cattle aud sh.vp until the roots die, or If the trees are large, peel thom two or three feet above the ground and pasture until the roots die. If the land Is plowed and the roots broken, they will sprout, hut If pas tured close the roots die In a few years. I-oroat fteatrnrrra. In Argentina, as In Africa and Asia, the locust Is a name of dread, though uot to anything like the same extent, and In South America there has arisen a hope of combatting the destroyer which may prove of enormous value In regions more liable to devastation. I-arge numbers of locusts were found dead and microscopical examination showed that they had been destroyed by a natural enemy a species of fly which ate Into the body of the locust, and there deposited its larva which de veloped into a life prodigiously multi plied. Kxiierluients are now being made to test whet Iter this tly can thrive in regions which are recognised us the incubating places of tlie locut. The Argentine agricultural department l breeding the tiles for tills purpose, though under effective control. Potato Spraying; Saved 912 per Aere.

Shatter fur Bars Window. Sliding windows In a barn, such a are fre.ii"titly used for, throwing ma mire through, are hardly ever quite tight, mill imicu cold air is often a! lowed to rush in upon the animals In side.

Pumpkins are good feed for lambs In the fall, espee'ally when they are trou bled with paper skin, caused by worms In the. Intestines.
