Manureng. Plowing under .green mops, more commonly lenewn as green manuring., is a, practice that has been in We over a long Period of time, being, advocated and used by the Romans in their farm-, ing operations. And in MI probability they obtained their knowledge front preceding genevatiops. The peacbice has been handed doWn from generation to generetion'each' one adding. to the store of knowledge eencerning it until at the present time it has 4 recognized valeta in our seratems of soil fertility, It alone is noT the secret of perman- ently productive sail, but When utilized in the right way, and in combination 'with other recognized practices, it Is of great value. Crop rotation, liming, goodtillage, etc., have much to do 'With the successful use of a green ma- nure, The greatest benefit to be deriv- ed from green inanueing is in the am- ount of organic matter that it -added to the soil. However, in the -case of -legume, and a green manure crop should be a legume wherever possible, tbere is also a valuable 'amount of nitrogen added to the s6iI. A green manure crop may be in - eluded in the rotation, or may be used separately as a cover crop, or nurse crop. There are a number of crops that may be utilized as green manures., but in general the one selected should have the following characteristics: It should have a deep root system, the seed should be cheap, it should be a legume whenever possible, it should be hardy, ib ...should be qui* growing, and in case it is sown ibroadmit, it should be capable of miking a good growth. Of the various crops that may be utilieed at green manures the fol- lowing. are well knovim: Soy beans, vebches, fieldpees., the various 'clovers, alfalfa, rye, oats, buckwheat, rape, etc., all but the latter four being legumes. The effects of a -green ma- nure crop 011 the soil May he con- sidered under three heads, being the, phyeical, the chemical and the bacteriological effects. Physically, a green manure crop will • in- fluence the temperature, moisture condition, the aeration of a soil, tend- ing to make the soil warmer, eapable of retaining more moisture in the case of a light soil, and allow the air to penetrate better. . Its action on a light sandy -.oil 18 of a binding nature, tending to melee it more compact and capable of hold- ing moisture, while withgt heavy clay soil its action is opposite, making it lighter and mere open, thus insuring better drainage and aeration. Chem- ically a green manure will eonserve plant food by absorption, and by bold- ing many of the plant food compounds in solution, in Which form they must be ie order to be utilized by the plant. The root systems of the deep rooted plants 'especially, tend to bring to- gether the various ',plant foods, and then when the plants are plowed under this plant food. is brought re the sur- face where it may be utilized by the mere shallow rooted plants. When a green manure is turned under many different bacteria begin to act on the carbohydrates and protein, breaking. them down into various necessary plant focel elements. If the crop is a legume and has been inoculated, nitro- gen evill be added to the soil through a symbiotic relation between the plant and certain bacteria. Bacteria re - guise Moisture for their action, and a variation in the water content of a soil; as well as a Om:lotion in the tomperoture ad amatiot will haVe marked offeet 011 theft' action. And, as stated above, plowing ender a green manure hos a noeiceable effect on the 'water content ,of a soil. TM amount of Air in the soil will deter- mine the claim of baeterie that will function the moat, being either the. oerebie (them veep:tieing air), or the emerobie--(thme not requiring ani), the olant food produced .evil depend eomewitai: on the type of bacteria ace tive. The addition of a green immure will increese the activity of the bat' - t0330 largelythrough the organic mate tor ad.cled. The best time to plow under a green manure is When the crop melte:dm the most moiseure,.8.8 this encourages a vapid and more complete decay. When turning under the crop it is not a 'good practice to throw the furrow over flat as this forms a layer which may hinder cap- illary action until the crop, has ranee or less decayed. As a repult of de- creased capilarity the sueeeeding crop may suffer from leek of moisture. Also, by turniug the f umow. slice only partly over, aeration -and drolhageare greatly helped. Dtertng the process. of 'decay of a green manure crop various organic acids are orocluced, tending to makeea sour soil. A.s a lomat is necessary to apply lime during some part of the rotation, or it may be added when the crop is -seeded and may be turned under with it. e , How to Feed Straws. . All the straws contain large mime titles of nutrients, but' on account of their unpalatabieness and low 'diges- tibility, only a cona. paratively small proportion of the nutrients is of use to the animal. Many suggestious have been made for increasing the palat- ableness of straws and making them more digestible. The forraer object is sometimes achieved by chaffing the straw and mixing it with pulped or cut roots in the proportion of one part by weight of chaff to nine parts by weight of root. The mixture should be al- lowed to stand for at least twiny° hours before it ie fed to steck. The straw absorbs water from the roots and the fermentation whic'h results Warms the mixture and softens ihe straw, No doubt that treatmentenakes the straw more palatable, but, so far as it has been possible to ascertain, there ie no evidence that its digesti- bility is increased. As the season ad- vances the straw and the roots get dried the chaff may be moistened with treacle (molasses) mixed with warm water and sprayed on 'with 'a water- . 'lug can. For horses getting all their bulky food lb the form of straw 1(3 15 a good practice to add seven pounds of Oil- seed cake per horse per week. This Is mashecl in a tub of water. ' When the cake is thoroughly softened it Is stirred up, and the liquid used to moisten the chait The mixture is readily eaten, and giyes goodgesults. Another method is to sprinkle the chaff with salt at the rate of one bushel per ton, and to sandwich thin layers of cut green stuff amongst the chaff whenit is but in the cOaff house. Late cuttings of seeds, or almost any green stuff, or pulped roots, at the rate of one hundred pounds per ton of chaff evill answer the purpOse. The mixture should be wen trodden down, and a slow fermentation will vesult. After standing some weeks or months the mixture develops a pleasant smell, and Is readily eaten by any kind sif- stock. To throw light upon the question as to whether hens or pullets are the more profitable I placed sixty- two hens and one hundred and thirty-eight pullets in two separate coops on Nov- ember let last year. Each lot had equally good quarters and were fed alike. By March 1st the heels were in debt to me sixty-four cents each, and the pullets had a. credit of thirty-six cents each, just eggs against feed. This plated them an even dotter aparb; so if I had placed sixty-two pullets in the place of the hens I would have stood at a gain of sixty-two dollars on that mop, In March the hens jumped ahead of tbe pullete and held there emote month until Seploanber, when- I sold the hens to make ready for the now lot he that mop. On Sep- tember .1 the pullets .had a gain of $1.79 each anclethe hens a gain ot $1.61 each, or a difference of only eighteen cents, and I am sure I could have kept the hens until November 1 they would hove been in the lead. This test convinces me that it is the pullobs that give as the winter eggs and the older birds lead in the stimma, so to heve an even supply the yeathrough it is well to keep both. The birds were all white Leg- horne, and the hens were about equal in numbers of one, two and three years old. They all would have mode a bet- ter showing hied I not left out the meat feom the feed from about December 20 to jemmy 10, as is shown by tho drop in gain of pullets in January, While the bens clitl not drop off in Jan- uary as did the pullebe, they did not gain ae they 00 doubt would have done had 2 continued the meat rain. To Inc it is plain the reason the he /bid not pity out before March is, they heel not recovered front the moult. The chteks were hotelied April '4 and May 1, 1010.

Ing 'light Of Wiecion't and Omeadien &rift, dieteneeeeoe Protect Your Machinery. One of the factors entering into the cost of farm production is the outlay for machinery. The present high prices of equipment are a serious cause of complaint from the terming interests, end yet many farmers aro content to leave their machinery and implements exposed to the weather, often in the field where last used.. In a manufacturing plant, where a.11 machlnes, are under peva and well taken eare of, 10 per cent de- preciation is written off annually. Nirleat, then, must unprotected' mach- inery suffer? High prices for farm produce have been to a certain extent conthictive to carelessness in the costs of farming, The lowering of prices will compel a closer scrutiny of farm expenses, and one of the important items 'will be cost of machinery and repairs. Protection of the equipment :from weather will largely medace repair bills. At elle end of the season; all wearing parts of the machines should be well greased, -accumulations of dust removed, and they should be placed under cover. An implement shed will quickly pay for itself in -saving hi out- lay for repairs, apart from the fact that it facilitates cleaning, reintint- eng. or repairing machinery chwing spare time. Seesons end weather Will not wait for farm machinery that is unready, and a heavy loss may oftee be the re- sult. To the increasing 'number of farmers who are keeping eccounts of their farming Operations, this item of upkeep of plant will appear as an out- standing and largely Avoidable ex - perm, and the more general .keeping of farm accounts may directly effect the reduction of the present waste.

If the water is not emptied shortly after the birds are through bathing, they may drink'of it and -become sick. Crop Feeding Instead of Soil Feeding. The results of a chemical analysis of a soil do not, as a rule, afford a satisfactory basis for determining maul:trial requirements. The chemist, it is true, can determine what the soil contains, but no ordinary an-alysis de- termines with exactness what propor- tion of the several. elements present in available form for the crop. In- deed, there is no such thing as a con- stant ratio of availability. 'While one crop finds in e given soil all the plant - food it requires, another may find a shortage of one er, 'more elements. Further, on the very sante field one erop may find an insufficient amount of potash; another may find enough potash for normal growth, but insuf- ficient phosphoric acid; while a third may suffer only from the insufficient phosphoric acid, evbile a third may suffer only from the insufficient sup- ply of nitrogen. The manurial and fertilizer require- ments are determined more largely in moit mile by the crap than by peculiarities in 'the chemical 'condi- tions' of the soil.

As much depends on yam boy's eire and line of treatment accorded as is the case with tho young animals on the farm His vette on the farmsdepends largelybn fitting him for doing things. All young animals "are restless and the succeas of developing them along ase - fed lines depends on keeping them con- tented. Many of our s•ucceesful live stock breedms have found it possible to continue their work in 'spite of tho .preeent hebor ehortage 'because they have appraised their ;boys at semething like their true velem, and gave them sufficient iutereat in the herds and flocks to keep them inter- ested in the -affairs of the.farin. Other men have been forced to hold disper- sion sales because the boys fonnd more congenial suroundengs and greater income in big cities. Boys are especially eager to do or try to do the things that good farmers do. The spirit to excel Is present in eveey normal country boy. That is one .of the ambitions that fathers must encourage if they bold the boy's in- terest in farming. The ownership of purebred animals afford them abund- ant opportunities to try and do things better than the other fellow, and im- presses upon them a larger responsi- bility than the handling of scrubs. Boys have an 'imaginative instead of a tactful estimate of the difference between a. $40 and a $100 brood sow for example. In the majority of instances grade or scrub animals are not valued so highly as pure-breds that sell for higher prices. For this reason they become interested in blood lines and consequently give the animals move thoughtful care.

By MARGARET STEELE HARD , • • • Not long ago I was startled to hone a small neighbor remark to ray equal- ly small daughter, eI don't think: Father and Mother are very goodl parents. Father's too severe and Mother's too easee" The whole matter of diseipline' seems to have been put in a nut shell by this youthful judge; for as one ab - serves parents, he discovers that they I twe generally of one of these tepes. The severe parent is perhaps less i prevalent. His severity is born either of fundamental miecen•ceptions regarding children and their needs, of selfish desire to restrain and curb, so that his oven freedom may suffer no •annoyance OT inconvenience; 01 most deplorable of all, it is the result of his own ell -temper. Let us illustrate these types of severity. First, the child who • le died some harmless pleasure, for example. "Mary, dela get water in that tea- pot! I can't have you dripping water all over the house. What? Well, pre- tend there's water in it—it's just as good." But it isn't, as any little girl with a teapot can tell you, Contrast this severity which is catised by lack of intagination and sympathy on the part of tlte. parent with the severity of the second var- iety, that which .11 selfish in its origin. stop running, and behave yourseff like a lady!" But Ellen is ten and should not bo asked to be a lady. In fact 310 0/10 would be more distressed, then bee mother, should (he child suddenly iterive et that stage of maturity. It is simply that her mother is disturbed by her activity. And lastly, consider the exhibition of iefuri•ated parenthood, froin WO turn out. eyes as from unepeakable Ehame. "Come hero this instent or Pll give you such a whipping you'll never for- get it! Stop filet yelling, do you hear? Step that yelling!" and the admonishing voice or the irritable parent reaches a -scream as he slarie e.nd jerks about the frightened child. The e•pposite extreme of the deplor- ably uncontrolled parent Is the "easy -parent" who is generally the mother. She suffers from, ehorteightedness. She seems to forget that in a rery short, time her boy or girl must live in a world that will not so readily excuse and cajole as she; that Sat' - alt's whims and Richard's petulance will not be looked upon by the gen- eral public as odd, little outshoots of human nature; but tie weeds, pure and simple, or does she seetn to realize that faults in a little child, steadily natured, instead of being outgrown become greater! "Sarah, what can Mother get for you'' —don't you like your dinner, dear?" and Mother, weary after preparing the family meal, snatches a bite here and there between trips to and from the pantry as she brings such food as Sarah's whims demand; while Sarah watches with sly eye, fully aware of her power. What conclusion doe e one gain from observing parents with thew children? That the indispensable qualities for perenehood are understanding sym- pathy coupled with fleetness. Not un- controlled demands for obedience, not sudden spasms of discipline, but stead- fast reasonableness which creates confidence and love when it gem hand in hand with an eager desire to hive understandingly in the child's world. For, after all, discipline ie very much like a salad. Its perfection des pends upon the proper combination of ingredients, given in right pro. portion. There must be sufficient oil to assist in seething too severe ft tang of vinegar, but not enough to neutral - Wm, just a dash a pepper and rims - treed; and finally the hand which mixes it with the tender greetn-thal Is the touch of personality which per. feats i(3) .0014.0u3i11v'1tr. 47 . 4zt rov telleinieegieneree 'inleteielteteeoleeitee. eon - There len't a member of the family ti tied suffer from indigestion, sick headaches, biliousnose, fermented sthenitch, OW, if he tit the will take Chamberlain's Stomach and Lilra' Tablets.
