in as warm water as the elbow can

rub it briskly with a coarse cloth until
dry. Then feed it, wrap all but its

put it awly in a warm place to sleep.

How to Feed for Winter Eggs.
Too many poultry raisers are feed-
ing too much grain.,and not enough
green feed. In the first place, grain
is toot expensive and in the second
place too much food element is burn-
lpd up in reducing it to a state of
digestibility. •
I have obtained the 'best results so
far by the following feeding system:
•The fi e8"feed in the morning con-
sists of"whole oats thrown in the
litter. I use about one pound to every
twenty-five hens. At; nine o'clock I
give the fowls plenty of sprouted oats,
whieh I produce in one of these
modern sprouting machines. It takes
but three or four hays to have sprouts
about an inch long,. The greatest
food value in sprouted oats is when
the sprouts are short. This supplies
the absdlutely necessary' green ele-
ment in the ration,
At noon I feed a wet mash, com-
posed of equal parts 'of cornmeal,
ground oats and wheat bran to which.
is added• one teaspoonful of salt to
every six hens. Then I pour ]foiling
water Over the mash, stirring it thor-
oughly, using about two pounds of
wear to one ,pound of inash. This
mash is then left standing an hour
before being fed. A good deal of the
moisture has evaporated and the boil-
ing water- puts the mash in a fine
digestible condition.
In the middle of the afternoon I
again feed an ounce of sprouted oats
to each fowl. For the last feed in
the afternoon 1 provide for each
twenty-five hens two pounds of equal
parts eraeked corn and buckwheat iii
the litter.
Charcoal, grit and oystershell are
before the fowls at all times.., Water
of a drinkable temperature is pro-
vided at all times with the helpof a
fireless non-freezing drinking foun-
tain. Plenty of water and plenty of
green feed must be supplied to the
• There is no room on thef ace of the
earth for a poor hen. There is lots of
room in the earth, but none on top
of it.
Success with poultry is not so much
to getting a great quantity of eggs
its it is in selling those eggs profit-
ably. Seek the best market possible;
having found that market, stick to it.
Hens enjoy pumpkins. Cut the
pumpkins in halves or quarters. Give
to the flock and see how much is left
by night. Pumpkins are an excellent
food for hens. It is said that the
seeds have a particularly good effect
upon laying hens. •
To keep off "cooties," I used to
paint my chicken roosts . and egg
boxes with kerosene, but this year
I wrapped tar paper around the
roosts, tied it fast with string, and
cut a piece of the paper to fit the
bottom of the nests. I•was not trou-
bled with lice the entire summer.
Tightly -built houses are too warm,
and are likely to 'become damp.' If
moisture collects on the watts, or if
'the house smells damp, there is not
enough ventilation. In that case a
windowor a door'should be left open.

Tuyt then the• telephone rang.
Come here, Tom!" his father called„
when he had answered it, '"Here's

Tom rushed into the hall and.
grasped the receiver. A man was
speaking. "I've been calling up first

another to 'find out who owns a lit-

Were the Schools to.Blame?
Many' theories have been advanced
concerning the' cause of the numerous
physical defeats 'discovered ,.during
tate examination of recruits for the
army .and navy and it is quite pos-
sible that, our modern school system'
nuts be al' fault, , ^A
As most of the handicaps have been
present since childhood T firmly be -
Hove that a system which! forces the
attendance •of children at an early
age, and also the conditions under
which the children are placed while
attending school, has much to do with
physical deficiencies in later life.
It has been proved that the aver-
age, natural gain in weight` of chil-
dren Is 'less during school months
than during vacation. Too many
hours of close application are -requir-
ed for the different ages, especially
the younger children, and there is too
little pure air for those who are not
robust, and,•for those who are•indoore
much of the time between school
lours. Too much fatigue, menta] es-
pecially, means "poison," and poison
hinders the mental and physical de-
velopment.
I can do no better than, to quote
from Oscar W. Ilallin, a teacher of
ripe experience: "Poets used to de-
light in extolling the care -free happi-
nese of childhood. But times are
changing. The prosaic business age
in which we live has as little respect
for the joys of childhood as it has
for the beauty and sublimity of the
Torests, Before children haste fairly
ventured beyond the nursery' thres-
hold they are ushered into the mad
rush and worry of"a `strenuous life:'
As a result we find them facing the
responsibilities of adults before they,
can share the ,privileges,. of grown-
up people. They are stunted and
overworked physically and mentally,
and thereby hastened to .a premature
old age and death:' -Dr. L..W. St.
John.
Tap Big Maples Twice.
I once heard' a farmer say tnat y°tt
will get no move sap from a maple
tree that is tapped in two places than
one tapped. in but one place. But if
the 'tree is properly tapped in two
places you will get just twice as
much sap: We snake it a point to tap
all tate biggest trees in two places,
and 2 could never see that the tree
was injured one particle by the prac-
tice.
Always tap the tree on the south-
east side and the southwest side. The
morning sem reaches the former first,
and by nine o'clock of a favorable
day the latter will begjri to drop
briskly. The southeast side will drop,
nearly as late in the evening as the
other unless the temperature fates
very quickly toward sundown. Don't
tap the trees more than thirty inches
from the ground as the bucl5ets when
full are hard to_hnndle about'the big
roots. Buckets with bails on them
are easier• to handle than those with-
out, and ten -quart buckets are more
convenient than larger buckets.
The Profitable Tractor is the Busy One
A horse that does no work when
horse labor ,is needed on the farm is
far from profitable; the profitable.
horse is the one that works the great-
est possible number of days in a year.
Likewise, the profitable tractor is
the busy one. If a tractor can be used
for only one job„ and only during a
short period, its value is less to the
user than if it were used for various
jobs throughout the year.'• Tractors,
to be profitable, ,must be kept busy
whenever possible.
Of the work which a tractor can
do to good advantage perhaps plow-
ing stances first.: From a survey
made on twenty-seven farms on which
tractors were need, . the following
crops predominated: Oats, corn,
wheat, clover, dittoes and hay.
Of the kind of work done by trac-
tors on those faring the -following
operations were done of the greatest
number of farms -plowing, disking,
harrowing, hauling, rolling, sawing
wood, filling silo and grinding feed.
Besides these the tractor was recom-
mended for baling hay, loading hay,
spreading manure, harvesting grain,
milling stumps, threshing and hulling
clover. Not all of these kinds of work
could be found on one farm, of course,
but a number of thein" might be in-
cluded in the list.
Largo Tractors for Large Farms.
Where the' size of,farm will permit,
the large tractor will use the oper-
ator's time to best advantage. On
the other hand, the smaller tractor is
less injurious to the soil and is adapt-
ed to mere varied conditions: Where
severe fbnditions are to be met in
plowing, it is not safe to figure on
less than ten -belt horse -power 'per
plow.' The belt hprte-po*er cif a
three -plow tractor should be betweert
twenty and thirty. A. tractor of this
size and weight can also be used to
good advantage' for other kinds of
week, such as dislEing, harrolieing and
tltresiting.
if
Tractors Should' Not Race,
Select a tractor 'eillich will travel
front two to three miles an hour. A
toad speed of four 'tittles an hour
alight be selected, but the occasions
on which that speed could be used
would be rare; certainly never with
heavy loads, for the habiting strain
Wdtild- be too much On wagons.
A mistaken notion is sometimes
held about plowing. • In plowing, a
certain amount of energy goes to cut-
ting the sail, some of it to pulverizing,
and a large part of it to lifting and
turning over the furrow slice. When
too high a plowing speed is used, a
great deal of unnecessary work is
done in throwing the furrow slice over
on the ;;lowed ground instead of lay-
ing it over into a smooth, well-turned
furrow.
As much work can be done at slow
speed as with high traveling speed.
The engine is capable of only a de-
finite amount of worts. •If this power
is used up in speed it will be neces-
sary to sacrifice ,in the number of
plows which can be pulled or in the
size of load which can be hauled.
Pulling a larger load at a slow speed
does not necessitate moving the trac-
tor such a great distance to get the
work done, which will be a conveni-
ence to the operator at least.
