Out. The presence of male birds in the flock during the Sununer months has a decidedly detrimental effect upon the quality of eggs and poultry pro- ducers lose th.ousands of dollars an- nually through the presence of par- .bially incubated ad bad eggs in the produce they market. Reports are now being received from all parts of tho country.of the n.umber of partially incubated eggs appearing in current receipts. Producers do tot realize, that it is unnecessary for a fertile egg' to be placed under a broody hen to cause the germ to grow; a temper- ature a seventy degrees is sufficient to start incubation, If the heat is constant the development of the chick willtanue, but if it ceases or is intermittent, putrefaction at once sets iijn and the egg becomes bad; Such eleggs have no place or value in ship- ments, and should they get to the eon- esumer the consumptive demand im- e esecmedia* falls off. The ale bird is not esseatial in egg protluction, his, usefulnese is over when , the 'supply of 'fertile. egg.e for the season has been secured. The, hens vill lay just as many eggs when the male bird has been removed, and the eggs -will be more suitable for consumption, peeking OT 0-04:Ing. Further, there is a distinct financial gain to the producer who markets 'in- I 1 fertile eggs, because the best trade in many cities offers a premium of . from one to five cents a dozen for in- fertile eggs. Then there is the question of feed. It costs money ;to feed poultry, and; w:th feed at its pees.ent value, thel zonsumption of feed by males kept' for no particular purpose is a serious economic waste. During the summer the price declines, and by the early fall when many producers decide to market their male birds,- a.lower priest than prevailed in the spring has to be accepted; the produdee thus losing the amount per pound the market has de - dined, plus the -value of the feed con- sumed by the birds- during the sum- mer months. This financial lass takes on a more serious Aspect when it is leganspIed with the amount charged.back by the wholesaler for the bad and partially ,incubattel eggs that have been marketed ' • Farmers and others selling eggs for market should, therefore, need no urging to kill e'ff, dispose of, or at least remove the male birds from the flock after the bre.eding zeason; The process of making a cashmere 'shawl eccupies 'three men for six months, and calls for the fleece of ten goats. anevales,v+wmvelutommeaymssommanwe.saw ear dm Se ad tiT UP MANY pimays..

Once more we are entering upon the semen of the yea when, the dairy farmer expecte the greatest yield from his cows ,and his pastUres, and if the season is right the land will be fairly "flawing with milk and honey." 'Un- fortunately, .,however, the season is not always jut as right as it might' be. Invariably in one seetion or an, other there is aedrought with its con- sequent shortage of pasture and de- crease in milk flow. It is important •atsthis time that some form of supplementary feed be ennalied, for if the milk flow is ance allowed to decline it is almost impose Bible to get it up to the previous high mark 'again. A little extra feed at this time will produce more milk than will threatirnee the amount fed after the ,decline has taken place: Many will have profited by past experiences and have made preparation for the shortage of pasture by sowing a piece of annual pasture or soiling ceop. Others again I:nay have some of the previous year's crop of silage to fall back on. In any, and particularly the last of the above eliethods, we have a very efficient meaas of supplementing the pastures. For those who have not yet made any provision it is not too late to sow an extra acre of torn, some fall turnips, or even a .Piece of rape. The turnips rimy be pulled as needed and fed tops and all while the rape may be pastured off in the late sum- mer and. tall. Where previous pre- paration has not been 'made, cuttings of the regular crepe, such as green oats and peas, second -cut clover, and green corn will have to be made to fill the bill, To speak of grain feeding on pas- ture at present prices seems absurd, and it will be found to be somewhat of an extravagance except with very high producing Cows. Where the grains are obtainable a mixture of two parts bran and one each of ground oats and cottonseed meal is excellent. Apart from the feeding teethe cows, there is the question of water and shade supply. Both are very neces- sary. Where sufficient protection from the flies, in the form of shade or underbrush le not to be found, it would be advisable to keep the animals in the stable during the hotter part of the day, allowing them out in the evening. Where supplementary feed has to be cut and hauled to the cows, less waste will be occasioned when fed while inside. Where the cows have of necessity to be out all day they should have protection from the flies, by spraying with some good fly repellant. Marketing the Early Broilers. I have found that the American breds of poultry make the most profit- able broilers. Leghorns are fine for the hotel trade where small portions are served, but I find most housewives prefer a three -pound bird, and our local dealers ask for that weight. Ply- mouth Rocks at an early age make fine, juicy three -pound broilers. The Wyandottes are a superior breed for broiler raising. -I always grade the broilers and sell them in crates containing birds of -"a. uniform weight: A dealer asking for a crate of three -pound broilers does not wigh birds .ranging from 1 tcio4 pounds. If a hotel or restaurant man- age is purchasing broilers, he wants birds to be of equal size, so the por- tions will look alike when- served to lie trade. Birds of one breed make the best- ooking crates of broilers. It is also mesible to sell stock of a more uni- form weight if they are all of the same breed, If scrub birds range 'rom the Ingham to the Asiatia" type, here will be a great variation in size and quality, even though the ages, el he stock are the same. Seine fattening is usually profitable. Confine birds in a colony house or attening aerate. Give them a thin nash of cornmeal and SUIT milk .for bout ten days. Keep them stuffed by. eeding all they ten eat in a short ime, but do not allow the mash • to emain in the trough, as it will throw heeri off feed.

Every summer we see thoUsaads of small, stunted, serawny chicks. Every year we hear poultry keepers say they will never hatch late again. Every year hundreds of farmers are short a few chicks At the end of the 'hatching season, and roost always 'these people will say, "Well, I'll bring off just one more hatch and Sake a chance." There is absolutely no doubt that *the spring of the year in the hest time to hatch, because the breeders are in better condition, because the weather is correot, and because all mature is .just at the right stage. The grass is green and soft, and pastures are at „their best.. The question. arises, "How late may we hatch prafitabry, or with a reasonable certainty of growing good stock?" • In considering this matter we will look at it from the farm -flock stand- point, and, not particularly consider the commercial poultryman, who is equipped to overeome to a certain ex- tent some of nature's drawbacks.. The proper seasons to hatch will vary eon- siderably according to latitude end climate, but .one can safely lay down the following rules; Just as soon as the ground begins to thaw, and as soon as the first signs of. green appear in the grass, is none too soon for chicks to hatch. From this time on, everything else being equal, the quicker we can bring our 'chicks off the better. Very often there will be all the .chiolcs 'needed before the hatching season is half over. But where mishaps have oc- curred, we must know how late to continue, and here real knowledge of the subject is important. It is well to discontinue to hatch after field corn has been planted, and surely before it is more thail four • or fiveinches high. Many times we would like to bring off just one more hatch because we are short a few chickens. rf the hens are still laying well, it is advieable to bring off this extta hatch before corn is knee-high in the ;field. Under no circumstances should your hatch come off after that. You can do asgreat deal to pull this late hatch through. First, keep them in a Well -ventilated house, and guard against smothering and sweating at night. ,Second, it is exceedingly important that late chicks have forage, such ai. grass, rape, alfalfa, clover, or almost anything green and succulent. If it is at all possible, change the yard that, these chicks are to use. Cutting and carrying the green stuff to them won't cio—they must range on it. Buttermilk-, skim milk, or a ,good grade of condensed buttermilk will be found especially valuable. Third in importance is shade or pro- tection from the hot sun. Trees of some kind are the best for this. Al- though shade is important, a green crop should not be sacrificed in order to get trees, as it is not so impertant,. and artificial shelter can be .provided. If you watch these things you will have success with your late hatches. ^ The coal in one of the largest new mines in China lies so near the sur- face of the ground that it will be mined wit hsteam shovels after the covefing soli is removed.

Ifs Investpent Lilco any other machine, there is 4 right and a wrong! way to run mowers. Nearly everyone who runs a mower, and does not fully amdeestand its op- eration, thinks the team must go at a lively gait to make it work proper- ly. Any ot the, lightdraft, improved machines now made will do all that is expected -of them with the team going at an ordinary plow -team speed, and with a pair Of heeaes weighing from 1,000 to 1,100 pounds each there should be no particular strain on them to carry this raachine through any hay or grain field. The mower sheuld. be kept lined up aao there is no side draft. This can easily be dene by means of tightening huts found on the emehine for this purPose. All .slack caused from. wear or loose nuts should be taken up each day, or whenever it is noticed, No difficulty ehould be experienced in finding out when any part needs at- tention after the operator has run his mower a short while. Have the knives always sharp, and see that the sections are kept at the right bevel with grinding. Remove any broken or badly gapped sections. Keep guards in perfect line, and be sure, before removing and replacing, that the guard- Platee are not worn or too much rounded, See that both ends of the pitman have no unnecessarsr motion, and that all bushings are adjusted properly to take up any weer. Renew the small bevel -gear cogs as they become worn. There is no economy in running any machine with parts wean enough to cause loss of raotion. It is not necessary to have a black- smith or machinist do this repair work, for any man with ordinary judgment can replace worn parts. Tleere should be no trouble in order- ing them from your home dealer, for each is plainly numbered, When all parts are in place and you feel ready for the season's bust- ness, get your oil can and thoroughly go over tho machine. Oil frequently with a good quantity cif oil. Lubri- eants are mueli oheaper than new mowers, and unless you use plenty of oil you soon need at Dew machine. Often a man Wall buy 4, machine with too much blade for his use. The long blades will do about orchard trees and in light grass, but when you come to mow coaaser hays or cane and other coarse growths, you need short- er blades, Of COUTSB, Oil large, level tracts the long blade is all right. No machine on the ham, in my judgment, can be made more useful than the mower. Not merely as some- thing to cut hay, but as a weed de- stroyer. A man with a good team, and a short -bladed machine, can get around in the waste oorners and kill more weeds and briers ineSne day than he could in a whole summer long with hoes, brier hooks, and such tools, Mowers ean be used on head lands, pastures where coarser growth takes them and numerous other little odds and ends can be trimined with them at less expense and labor than with any- thing else 1 know of. Encouragement Aids Character Building 9 They were diScussing a girl who had succeeded in a most surprising marmer after appareatly having no special ability for the first twenty-five years ef .her life. At school she had appeared stupid, in her teens she had been awkward, shy, self-conscious, absolutely impossible; then suddenly she had simply broken away from the home ties. and traditions, plunged into the world of work and "made good." Even more, she had. won a .certain •amount of near tame and was demonstratingto every one that not only was she not stupid, but that her abilities were of' a rare excellence! How had it happened? That was the question bandied among her astonished acquaintances, and amid the million surinises only one woman came neareeto :the 'itruth. , She said: "She has not changed at all. It was always in her, but her surroundings kept her back." She did not mention the particular influence which had had such a stultifying effect, but I, who knew the family, had no doubt, for • they were one and all eritics! From the grandmother down to the young brother, they all prided them - .selves an their smartness, principally demonstrated by a cutting sarcasm masquerading as wit, and the one member of the family who had any real depth of ether intellect or char- acter was simply nipped by the frost of their disapproval :until the little leads of originality which she tenta- tively put forth from thine to time shriveledup and died. God alone could tell how at last she mustered up courage to simply go away from the ungenial atmosphere and bravely set out to be herself and to live her own life, but once having broken • away and getting aniong strangers who had eyes to see her possibilities she had simply blossomed out into a new being. , •There is nothing new about this family weakness for carping and criticizing those of the household. It is maty a long year since Eternal Wisdom Said: "A prophet is hot with- out honor save in his own country." But of all the unhappy . failing of humanity there is none so far reach- ing and disastrous in effect. In the first place, it has such an abominable effect on the critics; it eva.aps and sours and , narrows the whole disposition; it even deteriorated from the appearance, fot there never yet was a man or woman who allowed himself or herself to habitually look on the disagreeable side of things who, when they cense to middle age, did not show it very distinctly in their face, -while the kindly, cheery, tender- hearted individual who was a cheonie "booster" 1! or every one with whom he casne in .centaet mellows more and more as ,the years gel on, and even though unendowed with beauty of feature grows to a more enduring loveliness of expression. And don't you know that people always "play up" to our expectations of them?Perhaps at first our con- firmed determination to :believe only the best of every one maye leave us open to the suspicion of ,boing fools, and those with whom we come in tot- ted may make capital of our :credal- ity; but if we go steadily on belieying in t:Nr. •Vtlqb tJou sye 151lcw the are helievsng its their leincloiee, though we are bruised by theTr Selfish thoughtleesness or brutalitil cldeving it thaia hthior and courage, theugh We Ve their eowaroce and their theme- nessiS; in the end the seed of good which ths in every one of ue will triumph.

A battle is sometimes won by just hammering away along the same old lines, but the thing that wins most battles is a carefully planned strategic move. A strategic move means shift- ing the attack to some unexpected point, or making it in some new way that the opposition is not prepared to meet. Farming is a battle the winning of whic.h lies in producing and selling things so as to make interest on what you have invested, to pay and treat your men SO they will stick, and to make enough to live web and put a little by—at the same time building up, or at least not depleting, the soil. Ths man who looks at it this way is pretty apt to win out at farming. It simply requires this: that you shall think as hard as you work—or harder. It is the planned attack that wins buehels and bank accounts as well as battles. Bird Cries.
