t - - Norm. pfiOOK gm FROM BRM - SrMLnffSsr Keep your fowls hungry. Pork is too high not to feed right. Concrete is an excellent material for silo building. Examine the csss with the egg-tester before setting them. Whatever breed is chosen, a pure bred ram should be used. In raising onions for commercial purposes a large bulb is desirable. In caring for pigeons one should go about quietly and never frighten ,them. One of the easiest "ways of making monoy on the farm is by rearing sheep. In planting a young orchard see that the trees are properly pruned before set. Hot mashes on cold days are on the reeding program of many successful poultry raisers. This is a good time to figure up ac counts for the year and see what the chicken business has done for us. Sheep farming is a profitable branch to follow where land can be had for about fifteen to twenty-five dollars per acre. Do not dispose of too many early pullets for fattening purposes they are your principal assets for another season. A hen is a good thing, but too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Two hundred hens are enough for the uverage farm. The sow should be given warm millfeed slop, made fresh for each meal, whole oats and a little sound corn twice a day. Cows approaching calving should be placed in roomy box stalls, given a good dry bed of leaves or straw and not Interfered with. If the breeders are in poor condi tion you will get many eggs that do not hatch well or that produce puny or weakling chicks. The right time to castrate pigs is a week or so before they are weaned, if healthy; if delicate, wait a week or so until they are stronger. Raw potatoes are greatly relished by chicks and may be fed freely. Cut thrm in good-sized chunks and let the chicks have them to pick at. It is very well to sow a piece of rye early in the fall for the ewes that have lambs to pasture off in the spring before grass is ready for them. The squab of the best breed is ready for market when about four weeks old. At this age It is in prime condition. It does not gain much afterward. Forage or salad crops for poultry greens should preferably be grown with stable manure. This applies to clover, cabbage, lettuce, salad turnips, mangels, etc. Infertile eggs from the Incubators tested out on the fifth to seventh days can often be sold to bakers If sold Tor just what they are. They are good Tor cooking purposes. This is the time to give the boy a few acres to farm with a team, and seeds, and see what he will make of it. It will make him feel like a man and bind him to the farm. It will not be long now till the first haying. Get all of the haying ma chinery and tools ready for the work, so that there will be no delay when the hay is reaay o narvtu Many farmers say there Is no money in raising ducks and geese, hut F. S. Jacoby, assistant In poultry husband ry at the Kansas State Agricultural College, says this is a mistake. Mr. C. O. Garrett, of Iowa, says: "Lime-sulphur is the best stock-dip I have ever used. It is very much superior to many dips now on the market, being more effective and more durable, and it is absolutely not injurious." Bleeding birds which begin the work of egg production near the time the eggs are required for incubation will ordinarily give stronger germs and better chicks than can be ob tained from hens which have been laying for months. found it rather palatable. The por poise, being a mammal, has firm, red flesh, and there is only a faint sugges tion of fishy taste. Porpoises are caught in nets off the Xorth Carolina coast, and are then slaughtered like other animals. There is very good reason why dairymen endeavor to mix their own feeds rather than pay somebody else for doing it. and thus relieve them selves from the liability of being im posed upon by unscrupulous men who use oat hulls, corn cobs, straw and weed seeds in their mixtures and palm them off as molasses feeds. 14 Sheep Increase the value of a farm. Ducks and geese are easier to raise than chickens. Breeding young ewes leads to a weakening of the flock. The lack or protein Is a direct cause of mature pullets not laying. Dairying Is one of the profitable lines in which a farmer can engage. Assorting market eggs according to size and color is a gcod business move. Sheep will eat many kinds of wild grasses. They thrive in dry, mild climates. A If protein is supplied freely there will be abundance of eggs from the same flock. Use a good lice paint on the roosts In the morning and rcieat every two or three weeks. Make up your mind to-grow at least a part of the poultry food on the home farm this season. If the hens do not lay well it may be solely because they are not intel ligently managed or fed. A bull tied In the stall will get lazy and useless, besides making extra work in his care and feed. A few cars of corn laid In the oven and allowed to parch gives a good oc casional variety to the feed. No matter what kind of floor there Is In the poultry house, the mala' thing is not to let it get damp. In the production of eggs, as In that of milk, proper feeding is essen tial to attaining the best results. A flimsy fence will not restrain a bull and will cause no end of annoy ance especially in a busy season. Oats will do better on sod land than barley, but neither of them do as well on a tough sod as after corn or potatoes. Don't sell eggs for hatching until you have tried out eggs from the same pens at home and know they hatch well. Select out only good, trustworthy hens that can be relied upon as be ing good sitters. They should be well feathered. Misshapen eggs will sometimes hatch good chicks, but it is better to choose well-formed eggs with clean, smooth shells. Handle eggs carefully and avoid rough handling. A bad shaking up of eggs during handling or shipment has spoiled many a hatch. If you must feed soft food provide a small trough in which to feed It. It becomes a starter of disease when thrown on the ground. A good way to test a chick food is to place a small quantity on a dish before some husky chicks and note what they leave of it Strongly fertile eggs from good, healthy stock will often hatch well and produce good chicks under ap parently unfavorable conditions. The mixture of poultry manure with such materials as land plaster and kainit or acid phosphate Is almost Im perative for satisfactory preservation. The young chicks which are to make our winter layers should be hatched from the middle of March to the middle of May, depending on the breed. Other things being equal, the breeds belonging to the Mediterranean class of fowls, namely the Leghorns, Minor cas and Hamburgs, are the greatest egg producers. Hen nests should be cleaned and whitewashed after each hatch before starting another and the old nesting material should he burned. Fight lice now and all the time. It Is all right enough to rear tur keys with the chicken hen if the fool hen wouldn't wean them so early. Then lice are always more trouble some than with turkey hens. Undoubtedly one of the most remun erative branches of the poultry busi ness for the average poultryman is the nrndnctlon of eggs, combined with the sale of market broilers as a side line. Land plowed last fall may be sown to oats without again plowing. If sown broadcast sow two bushels to the acre over the plowed ground and harrow them in both ways, then roll to level the land. When the sow Is given a warm, rich slop, or other milk producing feeds just after her pigs are born, a strong milk flow is forced. The new born pigs get too much and have diar rhoea, which often kills them. Dr. W. T. Tuck, who is in charge of the New York office of the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture, spoke of the uses of por poise meat. "Porpoise meat." he said, "is not at all bad. I have tasted It, and It is only through the legumes, and through certain lower orders "of plant life with which farmers are not famil iar and which we will not discuss now, that the soil has been filled with the nitrogen, which is of the utmost importance in any system of agricul ture. If seed oats are infested with smut it is advisable to treat the seed to de stroy the smut, using formaldehyde treatment, after getting the bulletin from the experiment station giving in formation regarding its use; or it may be advisable to change seed oats, get ting smut-free oats from other source.

Davisson. head professor of the school of agriculture of the Uni versity of Nebraska, died Friday after noon at the Sunlight hospital after a brief illness of thirty-six hours. Dr. Davisson was taken sick Thurs day morning at his home suffering from accute abdominal trouble. Con fining to grow worse he was removed to the hospital Thursday night, but rapidly grew worse and died at 2:15 Friday afternoon. The doctors were not prepared to make an exact state ment as to the cause of hi death. HOME NURSING Disorders of Children. Diarrhoea is a disorder very com mon among children during the au tumn months. It Is attended by a high death rate, especially with chil dren under two years of age. The cause Is usually improper feed ing. The common practise among certain classes of people of feeding young babies various articles of food Is very unwise. Up to the age of nino months a baby needs nothing but milk and is able to digest very little else. Yet how often we see people feeding babies coffee, potatoes, meat and even things that are hard for a grown person to digest! Babies fed entirely upon milk often become sick because proper attention has not been given to the care of the milk and bot tles. Cleanliness is certainly a neces sity here. With older children the diarrhoea is often caused by eating unripe or over-ripe fruit or vegetables. The symptoms are an increased number of bowel movements, attend ed by griping pains in the abdomen. They sometimes are accompanied by vomiting, headache and fever. The treatment is first to stop all food, and clean out the Intestinal tract. This can be done by giving an enema or. injection of warm water or by giving a dose of castor oil. Some people are unable to understand why this should be done when there al ready have been numerous bowel movements. The diarrhoea is caused by some food that Is remaining in the intestine and setting up an irritation. The irritating material must be re moved before we can overcome the diarrhoea and we do this by means of an enema or dose of laxative. The child then should be kept quiet and warm. Heat applied to the feet and abdomen often will relieve the pain. A little peppermint water may be given to aid in expelling the gases, but nothing else should be given ex cept 6n the advice of a physician. Paregoric and various pain relievers should not be given as they may be very Injurious. Many deaths are at tributed to various soothing syrups which contain harmful drugs. After the attack Is over care should be taken with the diet At first give only a lit tle rice-water or barley water. In young babies, colic and diarrhoea often are caused by giving sugar In various forms. A tiny baby gets thirsty the seme as an older person. Milk does not quench th!s thirst, so It should be give:. little warm water several times a day. Many mothers are not content to let well enough alone and put a little sugar In the wa ter. This forms gas and causes colic and diarrhoea. In giving peppermint water to young babies It Is not neces sary to add sugar. Of course the pep permint water should be very weak.

A basket containing ices frozen in fancy shapes was of cako baked in a fluted tlu .and scooped out in the cen ter. Over the top there was a handle made of macaroni. A long piece of macaroni had been softened In hot wa ter and then spread out on a board, bent into the required shape, brushed with white of egg. sprinkled with gran ulated sugar and left to harden. When ;the basket was ready the ends of the hoop were inserted in the top of the cake. In putting the macaroni Into a bowl of hot water the long piece must be gradually bent into the dish so as not to break it. The ices were of flower shapes. After they were served the cake was broken into pieces and passed.

The baby will take only about a teaspoonful of this mixture In drop doses. The majority of deaths from summer diarrhoea might have been prevented by a little care with the diet. Poisoning From Food. During recent years an increased number of cases of serious illness have been traced to infected or con taminated food. It may be there were as many cases in past years, but their cause was not recognized. At any rate, the Increased consumption of canned meais and vegetables In creases the possibility of such condi tions. Lack of rigid laws for the in spection of foods has permitted un scrupulous dealers to put on the mar ket foods not fit for consumption, but which, on account of their cheapness or attractive appearance, have been bought in large quantities by the poor er classes. This desire to buy things cheaply also causes people to purchase partly decayed fruits and vegetables. In the warm weather too much care cannot be exercised In the care of food material, especially meat and milk. Many cases of poisoning are traced to warmed-over meats which had been kept too long, or to careless ly kept chicken salad, or contaminated fish. , The symptoms of poisoning are nausea and vomiting, with sharp, griping intestinal pains. Headache, chilliness and dlsdness often are present. There also may be consider able fever. The treatment Is, first to clean out the Intestinal tract with a good laxa tive as castor oil or a one-tenth grain of calomel, taken every half hour for ten doses, followed an hour later with a dose of epsom salts. This must be done even though the bowels have moved several times, for It is neces sary that all the irritating material b gotten rid of. The patient should be kept warm, heat being applied to the feet and abdomen. Hot drinks, at ginger tea, tend to reduce the pals and also provide the necessary stimu lation. Never give "pain relievers" except on the advice of a physician, as these are usually very depressing to the heart and may be the "last straw" more than the already de pressed heart can stand. Do not delay too long in sending for a physician, as there is danger of collapse and It may be necessary to give powerful stimulants to tide over the crisis. (Copyright, by W. O. Chapman.)
