Buying Nursery Stock, . Because of the high cost of nursery stook it seems that plantings have been reduced during the past few years. Many small fruit gardens have not been started. Some orchards have not been filled in where trees have died. Commercial orcharda have not expanded as might have been the case if nursery stook had been cheaper, At least $ome of tho nursery cony panics are quoting stock at reduced prices, It will now pay the farmer to obtain cctaings and recent price lists and make at least some plana for increased plantings of first-class fruit. It pays to deal with reliable nursery- men who advertise in good farm papers. This is wafer than buying of brokers who do not, raise their own steels. Tree agents are eaten criticized be- cause of the poor quality of their stock. But an agent.for a firm of known reliability is worthy of patron- age,,. We'should not fail to remember that meny beautiful shrubs, profitable berry patches and thrifty orchard trees are growing now on farms where they would never have been planted had.itnot been for the persistent efforts of some nursery stock agent, Some of the agents may 'have sold poor varieties. But let us give the good on -es a little credit for their work. Nurserymen as a whole are very honest men who are in the business because they love fruit and flowers and like to deal in such= products. They like to give satisfaction and do so in a large majority of cases. They know that their beautiful and expensive catalogues will not bring orders and repeat orders if they have the name of sending out poor quality stock that is not true to name. Many of the offenses charged against nurserymen are due to care- lessness on the part of the buyer. Possibly they may cover and expose the roots of trees so they dry out. Then some of the trees die and it is blamed on the nurseryman. Some- times the name tags are left on trees until the trees strangle. When live stock get in a young crchard and trim the leaves from young growing trees, it elates a tax on the strength of those trees and many of them may die. Trees that are carelessly planted may fail to thrive. Some seasons aro more favorable to tree growth than others. The value of nursery stock cannot be determined at the time of sale and this makes the purchase un- certain and gives a chance for future misunderstandings. Several. years after trees have been planted the fruit may prove untrue to name. Often this is due to misbakes in the nursery. Sometimes it is the buyer's fault. He may forget what he ordered or for- get which trees he planted in a cer- tain plot. He may send only a small order en co-operation with a neighbor. They may divide the trees hurriedly without carefully studying the tags and each grower may plant the wrong variety. It is difficult to tell the variety of fruit a young tree will produce by - the appearance of a young tree and only ,experienced fruit growers and nurserymen are able to•teli and they might occasionally be mistaken, The inexperienced buyer has to place all trust in the nurseryman at the time of sale and for eeveral years after- ward, It is not surprising that a few mistakes occur. It. is a wonder that so many buyers of trees have such good luck as they do. In buying nursery stock it pays to know the varieties of commercial im- portance which have succeeded in the neighborhood-. Do not pick out your nursery stock entirelyfrom the fine pictures that appear in the catalogues. The nurseryman and the experimental station can afford to make variety tests. The farmer can only do it on a very small scale. Even that does not pay unless there is time for ex- perimenting and a deep interest in obtaiuing first-hand information. Nursery companies .are always pre- senting new varieties to the public and often wonderful claims are made. Sometimes the new varieties which were so loudly praised ten years ago will seldom be heard of now. It sim- ply means that they didn't Intake good. But the old standard Varieties are still for sale and proving fairly profitable whenever planted. Every once in a while a new fruit proves of unusual value and good enough to partially replace some older variety. Informa- tion about such fruits can usually be obtained from the experimental sta- tion. They have facilities for know- ing how certain fruits are turning out and may be able to tell more about them than the nursery catalogues. The farmer who expects to order nursery stock of certain new varieties should plan, if possible, to visit' a practical grower who already has fruit of that variety in bearing. A. very short visit will bring out points about growing, packing and market- ing that variety of fruit 'which will prove useful information. In the modern nursery every.posdi- ale effort '1s made to keep the buds and scions carefully separated, The trees from which they come are care- fully marked as to variety. It gives the buyer of nursery stock a large measure of safety. In the future growers may not be sorry if they make a few additional plantings of standard varieties during the coming spring: eneneee Fine Feathers or Eggs. The exhibition and bred -to -lay qual- ities can be combined to some extent and it is often done, but the combina- tion is not frequently obtained in the low-priced stock which makes up the bulk of the utility of farm flocks. Too often the farmer who wishes heavy egg -laying stock will buy an exhibi- tion cockerel in preference to a cock- erel from a high -producing hen. The fine-looking bird may have no pedigree of value and yet it will look better. It is true that cockerels from high -producing hens seem to have the power of producing high -producing pullets. It might not always be true but it is the one cheap way we have of trying to improve our farm flocks. A cockerel from a fine laying hen is well worth trying out as a means of producing a more profitable farm flock. Experiments have proven that it often works suocessfully. For example, the Barred Rook is a breed rather difficult for some begin- ners to handle because of the double elating system. They find it hard to produce the beautiful barred to the skin specimens which -will. At the same time we find the Barred Rock a great favorite on the general farm. The farm flocks are not bred for ex- hibition but for eggs and meat. This year I have seen several farm breed- ers buy exhibition males with great pleasure and turd down males from a bred -to -lay flock because those birds were not as pretty and not barred to the skin like the fine quality exhibi- tion stock. Of course all bred -to -lay birds should be very typical of the breed they represent. They must not look like scrubs. But when a hen lays two hundred eggs or more she is of great value as a breeder if she is vigorous and her progeny are also producers. Such a hen should not be discarded be- cause her head points and color are not a sure guarantee of a prize. If she can produce cockerels of great vigor and fair type for the breed, those cockerels should be given a chance to produce line laying pullets. The best of them should he used even if they are inferior in markings to the birds in a prize-winning strain. Every year fine -appearing birds are being located which are also good lay- ers. Our best exhibition strains cen- tain some good- layers and they are being located and used to good advan- tage. But the buyer of a new cock- erel must not expect exhibition ap- pearance in the bred -to -lay bird, especially if the bird is bought at a low price. If you wish winners you must go to the specialty breeders who are in that business. If you wish lay- ers you must obtain stock of a bred - to -lay strain. Then do not kick if the bred -to -lay strain of cockerel does ot -win prizes. And do not expect the pullets from the exhibition cockerel to be high egg producers. The combination of prize-winning and heavy laying is sometimes com- bined but as poultrymen we must have an aim with our birds. We can have the best success in winning prizes when we strive for prizes alone. We are the most sure of high egg -produc- ing flocks when we breed from the best layers and do not worry too much about the exhibition points. The breed- ers of one type are apt to make fun of the breeders of the other, But both have their place in the poultry world. What we need is more flocks with as much beauty as possible cohirbined in herrn that are high normal layers with the ability to produce offspring of sim- ilar quality. "Pere It doesn't pay dairymen to let their cows drink icy -cold water, because a reduction in the milk flow is almost sure to result. There .are two reasons for this. In the: first place, every hundred pounds of milk contains about eighty-seven pounds of water; if the cows are forced to drink -cold water, which they do not like, they will not drink all they need to produce a normal flow of milk. In the second place, much of the food energy which should 'go to making milk has to be used to warm the cold water taken into the body and to overcome the .chill imparted to the body.- There are other economical ways of warming water than by the use of expensive grain. Every outdoor tank from which dairy cattle are forced to drink in cold weather should bo fitted up with a tank heater to take the chill off the water, so the cows will drink all they need, This applies to all livestock— not only dairy cows, The reason for increased flow of milk whore -tows have drinking cups in their stalls is due hi part to the fact that the water has the chill taken off, and in part t'o the fact that the cows delnk mare Weter than if they had to walk soma distanoo for fit, par- tioularly out into the colts, S, even S'll'a for Reasons, There are many advantages in 4110 non of a farm trader. 1, it does work when it sholild be done,• It2, does Thewortrt!act, mpt' only ennsues when 3.

It is impossible to use a piece of sandpaper efficiently with the hand, or to use it in connection with a block and attempt to keep it in place by hand, Shop workers will therefore welcome the sanding block suggested.. A slot is almp1y chiseled out in an ordinary block of 'convenient sine and a strip of lath or weed is fitted into it. Sandpaper is then wrapped about the block with the free endsextending into the slot and the steep is screwed in place in the slot. This will draw the paper taut and a perfect sanding block will be the result. The sand- paper can be changed when necessary. For sandpapering floors, ai handle may be hinged to such a block. Every drinking tank should be shel- tered from the wind, even if there is a heater in the tank, No heater will) keep the cold wind from chilling a cow. The best place to water dairy cows in cold weather is in the barn.) Individual drinking cups -are worths considering because they save time; and labor, save fuel that would bei needed for heating water; increase the; flow of milk, and prevent spread of disease in the herd, A number of tests showed that the cows in a certain herd _ gave two' pounds more milk a head after drink -i ing cups were installed. In a herd of twenty cows, this rate of increase) would mean forty pounds more milk a day, At three and one-half cents es pound, this would amount to $120 cents; ninety clays. 1 The saving in time, after watering was done ewer with, amounted to an hour -a day. At thirty-five cents an hour, that would amount to $31.50 in ninety days, The half -ten of . coal saved would amount to $7,50, The total afiving for the herd would bo $165 le ninety days.

In the spring we had lost a handsome colt that had seemed certain no grow into a handsome horse. Forty dollars was all the 'railway gave us for the volt, and while our elaim was pending it had killed -a promising young cow, But all other losses were as nothing compared with the loss of Jack's +heifor. ' Poor little Jack,'his grief was piti- ful. I thought and thought about the ;natter. At last, more because I 'emot- ed to give the children something to do than because I expected any fav- orable result, I told thorn to go down to the hawthorn tree and write to the president of the railway; perhaps he would see, that Jack got something like the vlue of the dead heifer. So off they went, Fannie taking the paper and the pencil, Helen silent and sore rowful, and little•Bob, scarcely under- standing what it all meant, walking beside Jack, That was election day in town, and we were all so busy that I forgot about the letter. I. was start- led; therefore, when the children said that they had written and mailed it. They showed me a copy of it. It read: "Dear Mr. President. Won't you The Growing Child ---Article VIII. Retardation. Retardation is that condition or state in which a child finds himself when he fails to be promoted to the next higher class is school. He is then known as a "repeater," and some children "repeat" a grade two or more times. In every school system there is a certain percentage of retardation. 11 the system is good, from a hygienic and educational standpoint,- the am- ount w111 be comparatively small; if it is bad, there will be a much larger amount of retardation. The cost of retardation to the state, to the parents and to the child is very great, whether the cost be measured in dollars or in values less material, but equally important. To many .children the failure to ad- vance with the class to.which they be- long is a source of keen mortification, and the repetition of the same work has a deadening effect. Such children are apt to lose interest and ambition, and the effect on their character, is very -detrimental. The causes of retardation may be found in the child, in the school or in, the home; may be mental or physical and may -be unavoidable or prevent- able. df a child is actually of deficient menbality, retardation will inevitably show itself sooner or later. The only thing that can be done in such a case is to place the child in a special class or institution where he will receive such training as will fit him for any work which he is capable• of doing. However, many .children are retard- ed who are quite normal mentally. The child with defective vision or hearing is very apt .to fall behind his class because he fails to see or hear many things which the other children learn through sight or hearing. If he has obstructed breathing, due to adenoids, the sluggishness and inability to con- centrate his attention may be- partly responsible for his failure to make' satisfactory progress. Defective teeth may possibly react on his health and frequently do keep him home because of toothache. In many eases malnutri- tion may be ono of the causes of re-' tardation. The 'physical defects enumerated do not in every case cause retardation,' but they are en often associated with it that their recognition and correction are imperatively demanded. General Home Care. To secure the best results in health work among children there must be close co-operation between the hone and the school. The work of the teach- er will be much less difficult if the child has been trained in hygienic habits at home, and the mother will find her efforts supplemented and her work strengthened by the teaching of hygiene in the schools and the over- sight of hes child by the medical in -I specter and school nurse. Among the factors affecting the health of the cliild which are entirely controlled by the home,. sleep is int-; portant. Children from six to ten years should have about tea or eleven' hours of sleep in the twenty-four, and from ten to sit;teen years the amount of sleep should be about nine hours.' Every child should sleep alone (as far as this is ,poseible) in a quiet, well-! ventilated tont. He should go to bed at such an hour as will make it pos-1 sible for him to secure sufficient sleep and awaken naturally early enough to; get to school on time without undue haste or the neglect of any duty he should perform before leaving borne. 'The more outdoor life a child has the better he will sleep usually. On the' other hand, a heavy meal in the even -1 ing, the use of tea or coffee, much home study in the evening, obstructed breathing, earache, toothache and ilar conditions are apt to interfere with the child's sleep, If It sleeping porch is not available the windows in the room should bel open so that the child ncay have plenty; of fresh ah. He may be protected; from drafts by the use of serene, and from cold by soft light covers and hot Wallin bottles, when necessary. During the day living' rooms and schoolrooms 01100111 be flushed several times with fresh air'for a few minutest se a tin=e by opening the windows. A child's clothing should be sash as is prevent any part of his body :from chilling, but at the same time should not be so heavy as to cause hila to perspire en slight exertion. The habit- eel use of too heavy clothing predis- poses to "colde," while to thin cloth - leg attunes a heavy drain on the child's vitality, To attempt to harden a child by undue 'expOsuro- 15 not wise, In winter long,stokings should he warn, end the feet should he protected frons wetting by rubbers. The feeding of -children is of the greatest importance, and apart from the quantity and quality of the food the time and manner ' of the meal should receive much consideration. Regularity of feeding should not cease when the child is weaned. Teach him to expect his meals at regular hours, and his appetite and digestion readily adapt themselves to a schedule that is strictly adhered to. Let the meals be cheerful, social occasions. The food is more easily digested when eaten in a happy atmosphere than when con- sumed in gloom or acrimonious argu- ment. The question of recreation for a schoolboy or girl is sometimes a diffi- cultproblem. Outdoor play and sports are ideal, but the 'Iniovies" and simi- lar entertainments have a strong ap- peal. A child attending school should not go to evening entertainments of any kind on any evening except Friday or Saturday and the child should not keep late hours then or go habitually. This applies to children in the upper grades. Younger children's entertain- ments should be very infrequent, and never in the evening. Open-air Classrooms. Open-air classes were originally in- tended for tuberculosis children, tub- ercular convalescents and the pre - tubercular. It was felt that their physical condition should not inter- fere with their education nor their education Aggravate or intensify their physical disability. Hence open-air classes were established in order that these children might be educated under conditions favoring their re- covery. The 'work was then extended to include anaemie, delicate and "run- down" children, and has included nor- mal children. Indeed, some of the best private schools in the country con. duct all their lower classes in open- air rooms. Whether these are called "real open- air rooms" or "open -window rooms," the principles upon which they are run, the methods and the results are much the same, provided sufficient window space is available to allow the room to be properly called an open-air room. Excellent work may be done in an open-air class located on the roof of a building, on a sheltered balcony, in -.a tent or shack, or in a regular class- room with all the windows removed from their frames. There must, of course, always be a roof or some kind of covering to prevent rain from fall- ing into the room, and there shoub.1 be some kind of wall or screen to serve es a wind -break. ' In some cities the new school build- ings are equipped with one or more open-air classrooms. Sometimes large hinged windows, reaching almost from the floor to the ceiling, occupy one or more sides of the room. Such rooms can be immediately converted into open-air rooms. lf'or the complete success of open- air classes it is essential that warm clothing and good food•bo looked upon as necessary adjuncts to the fresh air. If the child is allowed 06 become chill- ed, the good effects of the fresh., air will be nullified: A warm outer wrap and covering for the head, felt boots or other protection for the feet, a sit- ting bag, blanket and any other cover- ing needed for the study or rest period (sometimes spent in lying or sleeping on cots) must be provided for each child. Food furnishes fuel for the body and hence is a source of heat. Children in open-air classes need extra food for this reason, as well as to help in their upbuilding. Hob soups, cocoa and similar simple, nourishing waren foods should be supplied, The teacher of an open-air class should be particularly well qualified for her work, She should know seine- thing of food values and the general hygienic requirements of children. If she has, in addition, an instinct for social service, her value will be all the greater, An open-air class furnishes a splendid opportunity for the forma- tion of invaluable health habits, In almost all eases the results of open-air classes have been very good. Tho children usually gain in weight 11101'0 rapidly than the average, the ap- petite improves, nervousness decrees- es and the blood taltos on a much redder Inc.hThe pupils generally are more alert and interested, semetimes advencing more rapidly in their grade thatt other childc'en.

The Separator That Steals. 11 -and. separators used for separat- ing cream from milk, skim clean when operated correctly. Frequently, how- ever, one finds that a separator is not showing the highest 'efficiency pos- sible. A number of causes result lir decreased separating efficiency. Meuse when lower in temperature than 85 deg. F. does not separate weld .because the cream clogs its outlet, causing nlueh of the whole milk to leave the bowl through the skimmed - milk outlet, thus increasing the am - mutt of fat in the skimmed mf11s. When the bowl is run at a speed under normal the separation of cream is not thorough, and consequently skimmed milk will test much higher than et should. When the float is not used and the mink is allowed to Clow into the bowl at a rate greater than for normal in. flow, the whole milk crowds out through the skimmed -mills outlet, giv- ing a high per ceae. of fat in the skimmed milk. When the separator is not in a level position there is considerable vibra- tion imparted to the bowl. Thie vi- bration causes 111010 or less of the whole milk to be thrown out through t:he sloimm•od•anilk outlet. Vibration may also come from excessively worn bearings. If a separator bowl is not thorough- ly cleaned each t•inte .it is used, about three times as much fat is lost in the skimmed milk ss when the bowl is properly cleaned. The foregoing brief explanation goes to show that a separator in order to give the best results in operation .must be firmly secured in place and quite level, most be properly cleaned each time it is used, and must -be op- erated at the required speed. In ad- dition the temperature of the milk must be at least 85 deg, F. and the inflow of the milk into the bowl not greater than normal. Furthermore, the beatings of the machine must not be allowed to become worn too much •before they are repleted. Dwarf Apple Trees. Dwarf apples are 0.IC. for the man who wants fruit in a hurry. But the trees are more expensive and more trees are needed to the acre, The yield per tree is less than for standard trees, but the acre yield is not so much but as you might expect, If dwarf trees are et too low, the scions will throw out roots, and the trees will no longer be dwarfs. You have to keep these roots cut off, The best proposition is to use dwarf trees for fillers, to bear 'before the standard trees are old enough. The dwarfs have to be cut out when the other trees begin to crowd them. The man with a small acreage can well afford to buy dwarfs.

But any vacant room wel be satisfactory if' it has some ventilation and the fancily will co-operate -by walking quietly about the house and not bang- ing doors. Incubator thermometers often require so much observation that it takes many trips down the cellar stairs to keep the machine regulated. Many poultrymen and women have avoided that work and brought out good hatches by running the incubator in the kitchen. Of course, an incubator cannot be located. near a stove as the teniper- atpre of the outside air will have a di- rect influence on the air in the ma- chine. In some homes when an incu- bator has been in the kitohen they have discontinued using the kitchen stove for three weeks and used an oil stove for cooking. Then the house is heated -by a furnace or stoves in an- other room and it is possible to keep the kitchen heat uniform enough so that the incubator can lee fairly well regulated. Buyelaters of hatching egg boxes can save money by purchasing thein in quantities and ordering early so ship- ment can be by freight.
