Howie. ' When I bought in,y ferm in Soeth- ern . Ontario it conteined only one Wrathy hoose of the semienonitor -type, It was built of matched lembee oil a stone foundation, and had an open arena We 'could find no serioue fault with the outside of the bowie, Bat—the interior Was not m.ecleim, It was net arranged for the satiafectory mem, agement of poultry. The roostwere nailed to the Walla of the house. Thie furnisher' an ideal breeding place for Mites, and when the roosts Weth Pried out we found plenty of th.ene They hang in clusters beneath the thoits. We painted the oldroosting poles with kerosene, then added the 'roasts to the kindling -wood pile, to make de- struction doubly thee. The bowie contained no dropping boards, which made the condition of the floor bad, and reduced the scratch- ing area. So we built a dropping platfoem of smooth lumber along the back wall of the house. Roosts were made by planing the upper edges of two -by -three pieces until they were rounded and smooth. Meth roosts were then nailed in se,ctione oa'three roosts each, and each section was hinged to the back wall of the house. A hook placed in the middle of each section permitted the roosts to be raised easily, and hooked to the cell- ing avthen the dropieng boards were cle.enecl. It ease made it easier to paint or spray the roosts on the under -side, where red' mites are not likely to ,appear. The nests were boxes tightly nailed th the well. Now, I have found by eve -dim -tee thet nests must be loose, so they ect.n he taken .outeide the house for emptying, followed by sen - lying -and seraying. Nests that are tightly fastened to the_ wan. form breeding places for mite.; an.d lice. 1,fied also that open nests inay lead to the egg-eeting. habit. In winter the birds may scratch in the littee of the nests after eggs have been laid.. Eggs, kicked a,gain,st the side of the meet are wet to be. broken and then eaten. Open nests also become un- clean from the hens roosting upon g , or s ng on t ,e e go duning 'the day. " In remodeling my house I built the nests in portable sections. -If the top of a- seetian slopea •sufficiently. the birds will net roast _Upon it. If the top doe e not have enough slope it phys to stretch a strip of poultry . wire above the neste in 'such a manner that the hens cannot roost there. Poultry nests must be so built that the eggs will be cl'ean. An egg that is washed loses, the film provided by nature to help keep it fresta Dirty eggs look very bad, and 'the producer with a select trade cannot include them in filling orders. If the nests are slightly darkened and the nesting litter kept clean, the eggs will be clean with the chalky freshness which customers expect when they pay a premium for fresh eggs. I find that a small wooden table is useful in a poultry house. It shouM hold the Water pail and a crock or two of BOUT milk. Then litter can- not he .scratched int the -water and Milk, making' them a possible source of disease. If there is no time to build hoppers, the grit and oyster shells can be plac- ed in earthen creeks on this low plat- form. I find that hoppers are best, hoWever, as they hold a larger supply and need filling less often. Hoppers for dry mash can easily be made nf small packing boxes. Sketch the -out- line a the proposed hopper on the sides of the box. a Then saw out the box to conform with the sketch, and use the materitei removed to board up the front of the hopper. Make a sort of lip in front so that the hens cannot waste it oe the floor. In, remodeling my house faunal that the curtains were 'hinged to the top of the windows so they could be pulled back and hoeked to the ceiling them et ni itti h. d I also found that the bens lied been roosting on the curtain frames, mak- ing them dirty and infesting them with mites. I took these cuetain.s out and burned them. The new curtains are of the roll type. They are sel dolh Uted except during the two or three aov.ere storms that come front the eolith every winter.

Then reap the eteedy rewardfor your work, which is bound to eome if you have a laying strata of hens and fe.ed them properly,‚ Tip Burn of Potatoes, A tro.uble which is widely distri- buted and very prevalent in some sea- sons, and to which the name "Tip Bunn" has ,been given, is to be .found Menge:Mr potato crops. This trouble takes the form of a gradual burein.g and drying -up of the lealese of the plants, ofteri c,orminencing at a com- paratively early stage in their growth and, in many cases, if allow- ed to go unchackea, slowly but eurely involving the -whole of the plants so that they dde clown a conaidereble time before the tubers are fullye d- veloped. The appearance of this trouble in the fields is often mistaken, by grow- ers for Late Blight. . There is, how- ever, a marked distinction between the two, for Late Blight may corn mance attaelcing any pert of tit; plents—leaves and. .stents alike—has a dark, water -soaked appearance Etittl, in its early stages, is damp to the touch, while Tie Burn invariably cam men,ces at the margin or tips a the leaves and has a decidedly dry ap- pearance and touch with the excep- tlon of darter ram. It also -appears much earlier in the season than Late Blight has ever been recorded and deee not cause the death of the planes so rapiday. Nor has it ever proven so destructive as Late Baight, although evidence has been obtained that in seasons when it is severe and where ne effort is made to check, -a consider- able reduction in the yield of market - abbe tubers, due to the premature death of the plants from this eause, irmy resell. Investigators of this trouble are not yet in agreement as to the cause. The abservatioes af some have led to bhe belief that a peeled of hot, dry' weath- er during the growing season causes the leaves to throw off moisture more rapidly than it can be furnished by Rio plant, the result being theetppear- mice of Tip Burn- Thi a theory seems, however, to be disputed by the fact that the trouble is not found in the hot regions of the. Westeen States where the tereperatare often 'becomes excessive and the air is especially dry. More recent inv.estigations 'lead to the belief that this burning of the leaves probably follows the depreda- tions of sucking insects. These hi- vestigations are not yet complete, but enough evidence has been produced to serve as awarning to potato .grow - ors to keen these insect pet thor- oughly under control in an endeavor to avoid Tip Burn. We have found M our experimental work with potethes that Bordeaux mixture will to a large extent control this trouble. In 1918, when it was extremely prevalent, we bad eeveral plots to which, for 'the purposes of experiment, Bordeaux mixture was. not applied. These plots suffered from u .severe attack of Tip Burn and the plants were all killed down by the second week in August, while other plots on the -same land, and th which, for the control of Late Blight, B.oedeaux mixture was regularly and thoroughly applied, suffered to a very slight extent only, the plants remain- ing green until; fleet came. Bordeaux mixture acts cis a repellent to the Leaf Hopper, as well as a protection to the plants. Many other cases, in addiallion to that meferredi to, have some to our attention, bearing evi- dence that regular and thorough spraying with this mixture will re- duce to a minimum the ravages of Tip Burn. Grow Perennials. My 18 an, ideal time to sow the tieeds of such hardy plants as pinks, columbines, perennial la-rkspurs, fox- gloves pansies, sweet-williams, Shas- ta daisies, ,and many °there. These will make a nice growth in the fall seed bed, and will bloom at the regu- lar time next spring. The clumps will not be quite no large as those hem seeds &Mk in May, but the May -sown plants will pot bloom the first year, so there is not much gained by planting theni. You can plant the fell -sewn plants somewhat thicker, and in transplanting have more 'chance to cut out inferior plants. Most of these plants like a loose mellow loam that wila not .paelc or run. Woods soila with plenty of leaf mold is ideal. Sow the seeds in rows. Do not crowd the rows. The seeds ahould be covered. not Over a quarter to half an inah, and kept moist until r‘p which will take ten days or two w,eelas for most of the common var- ieties. Some are slower to •gerrninato and older seeds are slower than fresh Dna.

The little Indian boy could not tell whieh way to go. He stood still for a white, thinking. Presently he said, "Go, my bird with Rio sweet wing sang, and find the trail to the friendly chief."

Better Lawns Make Better Homes There are many mistakes made in the establishment of lawns and in their subsequent management. In or- der to maim a good lawn the soil raust be fairly fertile or it is necessary that it be made so by proper fertilization. The regular use of suitable fertilizers is also necessary. Tht best time to insure a good soli for a lawn is at the time when the excavating and the grading are done. Frequently a good site that is natural- ly fertile is made unproductive or un; desirable by' ceeering it over with aub-soll takeri-fram another location, that is, !tem baseMents or sections that are moved in grading. Not infre- quently building rubbleb, ashes, cin - dere, cans and other debris are cover- ed with a thin layer of soil, the re- sult being a very unaatisfactory pro- duction of desirable grasses. A very good rule to follow is, keep at Mast six inches of rich soli on the surface. This six inches or more of soil should be fine in texture or a loam or clay loam material, inasmuch as they are the best for the production of most all grasses that are grown on lawns. They dry out less quickly and retain added fertilizers to much better advantage than do the sandy soila. Where drainageconditions are not good they should be corrected by the laying of tile at proper depths with suitable outlets. if the subsoil is very heavy or ennervious the surface soil Is likely to hold too much water or become waterlogged,_ resulting in un- sanitary conditions, one usually an un- satisfactory growth of grasses. lf, on the, other hand, the sub -soil is very porous or sandy, the lawn must be watered very frequently and fertil- ized more often 'than if it Is heavy in texture. In the establishment of a lawn, if it is available, a generous ap- plication of well -decayed or rotted stable manure is desirable. This should be worked well into the soil, the application consisting of about four hundred to eight hundred pounds per square rod. The use of well -rotted manure is advantageous because then is much less danger of the introdue- tion of undesirable 'weed scoria,- some of which may :Prove objectionable later on. ,• After the =Mire- has been applied either hydrated !lime at the rateof about fifteen pohnds per square rod or air -slaked lime, or finely pulverized limeStone at the ,rate of about twenty pounds per square rod or dried marl at the rate o about twenty-five pounds per squaae rod should be add, ed to the soll, and worksd into it when the land is prefixed for seeding. -In addition 11 18 adyisable to apply four pounds' of sixteee per cont. acirl phos- phate per square mil. ' When the seed -bed has been ex- tremely finely pnlverlsed and leveled down the seeding may be made. As .a general rule the, Xontucky bluegrass nutkes the moat popular and most sue. °fistful grass, forming an excellent turf. Sonie seed 11, mixture of grasees, however, such as the betegrase and tee English or Italien rye grase, Whore three mule of the beiegraes and one part of the Dogfish rye grass Is used in the mixture, about half a poune is usually seeded on a square rod. A mixture of bluegrass and -white clover Is also a very popular tete, Pre- cautions should be taken in all miseo to obtain greases, whose percentages of germination are high. Ill SOnIC in- stances miXttires' of low percentages are placed on the Market. Following the establishment of the lawn for best results It should be care- fully handled and not neglected. A mil good rule ta follow is to never permit the lawn grass to go to Seed, inasmuch as this.tends .40 cause 11, 40 deteriorate, Mid metat in a poor or tie taisfaetory lawn. 5 point that It fro,, quently averlooked Is that the new land should be permitted to pass Into the winter with a considerable growth; in other words, it should not be mowed very closely in the fall. This is done in order to protect the young grass roots during the winter. Many of the most sUccessful lawns are rolled. Especially is this desirable in the case Of a new Mwn. This is done to compact- the soil and cause the grass •roots to take a firm. hold. Frequently the grass rootsare loosen- ed by the freezing .and thawing during the winter season and relling.is necete foxy to eeeecome this condition. In other instances angle worms leave the lawn in a roughened condition and the rolling overcomes this'. Mistakes are sometimes nmde isa watering lawns. It Is better to thor- oughly soak the soil by laying the hole oe the' ground and permitting the 'water to flow freely on one part for an hour or so and then move It to an- other place. The sprinkling method is, satisfactory if continued long eeough, but frequently thds is not done. The 8011 dries out witli the exception mf the very shallow layer at the surface, Only smeace applications of fertil- izers to establish lawns-. are made. Where stable manurels userlit should be 'applied very early in the spring. In some instancos. mistakes. are .made by applying fresh Manure in too large quantities, there being too much solu- ble material added for the grass, the result being either the killing out p0 Rio grass, commonly spoken of as .burning out, or a decided setback to it. It fres-h.-manure only is available It should be applied very .uniformly over the surface .at the rate of one hundred and twenty4ive pounds per square rod. As previously stated, how- ever, the rotted manure is better on account of less danger of the Intro- duction of some of the troublesome weeds. The manure should be care- fully removed from the lawnshortly after the grass begins to grow in the spring.. Where the manure is not made use of top.dressings of nitrate of soda at the time growth begins maY Ise used arthe rate of from one-quae- ter to one pound per square rod. Pre- caution should be taken to spread it uniformly over the surface and when the gems is not moist, or when the dew is not on ite otherwise, the leaves of the grases may be burned or in- jured by the 'nitrate. Subsequent ap- plications of similar quantities may be made as the lawn demands it. In some _instanoes tate nitrate of soda is dis- solved in water and sprinkled on the .lawn; usually', however, this is not necessary. Ailmionimn sulphate should not be applied .to Meets that • are growing bluegrass ,or white clover inemnuch as , it will cause them to disappear and . other less desirable ones may come in, It slit:Mad not be overlooked, boWever, that- if the soil is 'lined about everY four years, torelrectelngs of ammonium aniphate without lime drives out the Injurious effect to those plants, In. vestlgations 011 the ime of ammonium sulphate and sodium nitrate on lawns over a period of twenty nitre -or more show conclusively that the use et ane mole= sulphate without lime drives out the bluegrass and clover, as well es several other grasses, and also a number of troublesome weeds that may come into the lawn.

The Welfare of the Home Making,Friends With the Birds—By S. Louise Patteson. Oneday last spring, a little ,girl asked me 12 10 were true that robins biked to eat other things than worms. I replied that robins would eat fruit when they,yere thirty if they coeld And no water. "011, Just when they're thirsty," she exclaimed in a tone of surprise. "Thee, I had better give thean a basin ,o4 water, because father gets teleiblY provoked at the robins when he sees - them in our cherry tree or in the etrawberny-pateb." I told her that in the strawberry - Patch robinswere much nore likely to hunt the grubs and cutworms that iejure the roots of the vines than ,to eat the strawberries, but that they did like cherries. I asked her if ehe would like to make friends with the birds and fix a place in her garden where they could drink when they were thirsty or bathe and splash about in warns weather. She was, delighted with the' idea, of making something useful and wanted to know haw to build a bird bath. I gladly proinised to help her make cue and accordingly I went to her home one morning soon after our conversation. Together we gathered several baskets full of small stones from a vacant lot near her home, then ave selected a spot in an open space in tier garden where we sot up a pyramid about three feet high. After we had finished it we filled a big flower -pot saucer with water and placed it on top ot the pyramid. When the warm weather came, the birds used this bath so much that the water had to be changed several times a day! But the pleasure of watching the different birds that came to the garden to quench their thirst aria splash about in the cool water more than compensated for the slight trouble of tilling the bath; The other members of the child's family became as much interested in their feathery in the tare of robins! _ friends as the little mason who had built the bath, mut the practical father. observed with satisfaction that his. fruit trees were less attractive. to the birds • . • Some of the other children in the neighborhood became anxious to be- friend the birds, and one of the best. results of their new interest was that, Rio small boys tvere less tempted to, rob nests for the sake of collecting. eggs, which were perfectly useless to, therm and they became more interest- ed to care for the mother birds in the nesting season and to protect their young, for all the children had be- come anxious to have as many bird neighbors as possible frequent their gardens. One of the small boys was an only child whose hobby had been the col lecting of minerals and quartz. He decided td make a practical use of' his most treasured posseasion, four hexagonal Meeks which had been brought to him from tbe Giant's Cause- way. With his father's help he piled these heavy blocks of basalt one on, top of another . and made a perfect column about two and a half feet high. On top of it lie kept a large brown, flower -pot saucer filled with water: thus the use of what had been a souvenir of questionable worth helped to matte a refreshing bath for tho. birds and added a real ornament to his mother's garden. And what is .more linportant, his parents were Pleased to observe that the child's old desire to collect and possess Mineral specimens was becoming secondary to an active, sympathetic interest in the beautiful little living creatures thet enjoyed coming to the garden; and deeper love and greater consideration for all dependent creatures became evident. Thus the tender, cherishing instinct was developed in thyme] cbildren through a little girl's interest. —if you feel bilious, "headachy" and irritable— fol that's a sign your liver is out of order.
