Our Three/ling Ring Made Two
Mistakes.
Two years ago, when our threshing
ring bought a :moll separator with
which to do our own threshing, we
made one mistake which is more or
less eornmen in communities that have
tried this plan. Probably we made Iwol
mistakes—first, that of buying too
email a machine, and, second, we ;in-
cluded too many men in the eomparm.
Our experience has shown that the
extremely small separator should be
avoided, because it is very apt to be
overworked, even where but ew men
aro interested in it. The hurry to get
a job clone, a sudden rain cloud, ex
the attempt to take advantage of a
bit of nice weather whet the season is
bad, all tame crowding. Besides, there

Farm Fire Losses and

Penn fire Mimes are generally total

of the risks and the general lack ot

When fowls are kept in net too
large flocks and have a large ran they
will easily secure enough mineral
matter to supply their neede, but if
confined or kept in large flocks it is
well to supply aria in suitable berm
for their consumptioin. Mineral mat-
ter Is as necessary as food because a
considerable percentage of the dry
matter in both 'eggs and fowls is coma -
posed of mineral Mements. When
fowle are fed liberally of such feeds
aa alfalfa, clovers, bran, and other
commercial feeda, they obtain come
mineral conatituents but not sufficient
for their welabeing. The mineral foods
now recognized by authoritiea as beat
to use are bone, shell, grit, and char-
coal. Cut green bone is one of the
best forms. Bones obtained from a
butcher and put through a bone grind-
er will furnish a spiny. Lacking bone
meal, granulated bone, as it is some-
times called, answers the purpose.
The granulated form may be fed in
hoppers, enabling the birdie to take
their supply at will. In the meal form
it la usually mixed with the mash.
Hens, as well as all other animals,
require a certain amount of lime for
normal health, and growth, but on ac-
count of the lime needed for shell -
making, an additional supply is nem -
eery. Oyster shell is perhaps the

Proper Care of Raspberries.
There M a tremendous difference be-
tween the crops obtained in a proper-
ly kept and a poorly kept raspberry
patch. One may plaet the best var-
ieties but unless the plantation is
properly looked after at the differedt
seasons of the year the patch soon
beeemea overcrowded, diseased, end
practically useless, Raspberry cul-
ture is not a difficult sort of widen-
ing, but like many other farm (1ntim,
the right thing has to be done at the
right time. It le a too common prac-
tice of the average grower, after re-
moving the crop, to allow the planta-
tion to take care of itself. This is
pot a good practice because It gives
encouragement to both dleease and
insect enemies, and allows; weeds to
grow and thrive and infest the mil
by (mattering their seeds.
As early as possible after the crop
has been harvested the plantation
should be carefully gone tbroush with
a strong pruning knife and all the
wood that has borne this year out
