In an experiment conducted by the Cornell experiment station It was found that on baiis of jno in ns tho fod (look produced cpKS to the value of $29.97 more than by ihe starved flock. The total income front all the birds was 1278 for the starved flock and $350 for the fed flock, a difference in favor of aatural molting for the year of about $95. A wesurn poultry man of Ions ex perience gives his method of condon ing moiling ns follows: As soon its the hens are thrctmh laying he turns them, out on alfalia, feeding them dry bran only, in addi tion. I'nder this treat mini they p.et thin. Then he? feeds them a mixed ration of grains and moa!, plviiti; a light feed m the uiurnlr.K and nil they ' will eat at aoon and nij;i;t.

PLYMOUTH ROCK IS POPULAR Bi-cvy -lrVtt Them Ei; s Utility Fowl. Th Barred Plymouth Pock Is with out a doubt the most popular breed of chickens In this country more of tbent are found on the farms thnR any other breed. On special ioultry farms the Lowborn Is a v.-ry popular breed, and in the poultry farming districts the Khodc Island Koda are almobt excKftlrely used, says a writer In the Rural New Yorker. A3 a general util'tr fowl th Wyandottes l I Priza Winning Rock. are second In popularity to the Hoclta, tb white variety being jhe most pop ular. Their blocky shape makes them an excellent breed for broilers. Like the Plyngtuth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, theyjay a brown egg. The Leg horns lay a white e?g, and In this re spect tbey have a slight advantage, as mofct markets prefer the white egg, though there is no difference in the qualities of eggs with a brown or a white sbell. Overcrowding ducklings will Indues feather-pullir.s. Kerosene is sura death to lice, !( arplied as r. spray. Hens suffer from overeating as much as frcr.i starving. It Is provoking to have hens steal their nests tMs time of the year. The feeding of onions to laying hens has produced an on I -in flavor In eggs. A hen egg-bound will be seen to visit the nest repeatedly without re sult. Fodder corn makes fine green food fcr poultry cf all nes. Try It fed green.

STOCK CHUTE QUITE USEFUL Convenient Farm Implement Easily Moved by Addition of Two Dis carded Mower Wheels. Perhaps every farmer has occasion to load soino animal into a wagon and many of them prepare for this by building a stock chute. Frequently these chutes nre built us a permanent fixture in connection with the feed lota, but they are often made so that they can le transported from ont part of tho farm to another. When ;t chute of I his kind is built liavy and strong (iicniKh to support tho weight of a mature beg or a largo calf it becomes a olumiey thing to move. Mr. K. J. Linscott. owner of the liowalpha Jerseys at I lolton, Kan., has solved ! this problem of inconvenience) In a very easy way. The wheels and axlo used in making bis stock chrtte aro Stock Chute on Wheels. parts of old machinery found on. tho farm, the wheels being taken from an old mow?r. The upper end of the chute is provided with two stiong iron hooks, which aro sharpened) so as to engage the bottom of the wag on bed and prevent slipping after the animal starts upward. With such an I arrangement there is do difficulty In ' building a chute of ample strength ; because the question of weight Iihs ' relatively little.importance. The chute j can be hooked on behind the wagon I end hauled to any part of the farm, i Giving tho Horse Salt. It is a mistako to deprive a horse, , of fait. Large lumps of rock salt i should always be kept in a box in u j corner of tho manger, where the ! horse can help himself. Lice on Horses. I For lice on horses uso a good j louse powder generously wherever lice appear, and blanket closely for 12 to 15 hours. This kills most of j them. Repeat If necessary. I live . STocra IUinds on the nervous horse are as fuel added to fire. Have the ewes in good flesh con dition at mating time. Oats should be made a part of the ration of the growing colt. Phoats are certainly an attractive proposition at public sales. Stick to the "golden hoof" ar.d turn farm wastes into mutton. Exposure to chill and rain is detri mental to any ailing dumb animal. At this time of year considerable attention should be given to the ninrrs. A windmill Is a necessity on every if took farm where there is not fresh running water. Good horses and mules were never higher in American history than they are at tho present time. The stables, which will soon ba oc cupied by the livo stock; should be made comfortable for their. The man who gets tho cor.t of pro duction down to the minimum is the man who makes tho money. A blanket of fat on a horse, like charity, is a mantle that often serves to cover a multitude of defects. Experienced shepherds usually make a practice of flaphim: out thu ewes Just before breeding time. A coot of whitewash oa thj inside of the barn and other out oiAldiiifc.-i will make them lighter and clouner. How to feed and fiuk'h hogs for market is a science, a kno.

A great many farmers seem to think (hat honey bees are not worth any thing, but still ther value what they iticke very highly. 'Every one of them would be glad to have honey on his tablo all the time. If they would Just take a little extra time and labor tbey could have all they wanted. Just have a few hives In the back yard, and you will hT all the honey you want for yMr owa use. If you have not anrMBt to spend with bees,' why not let yonr wife or the children have a few colonies? Hoe-keeping is a light, pleasant out door work. Considering the time re quired and money spent, there id nothing that will net tho owner any more than the keeping of bees. As high as ten dollars' worth of honey has been gathered by a sinlo swarm of boos; but generally thoy gather about two dollars' worth in one season. Many ppople would keep bees if It were not for their stings. A bee keeper does not get stuns often he would not any more think of getting, rtung in picking up a handful of bees ' than you would in pickiug up a J downy little chick. I Honey is a good food for tho sick i and well, old and young. It can be ' I'sed -a great many ways in the kitchen in preparing things for the table. TO HITCH A CORNSTALK POLE With Fastening of Chain Near End cf Each Double-Tree Considerablo Trouble Is Obviated.

Jerking back uud forth, caused by ;';ht and heavy places in the stalks. Willi the fastening of chain near tho erd of each double tree the troupe is obviated. Locating the Apiary. In starting on apiary tho first thing to bo considered is tho selec tion of a eu-'tab'io location for tho hives. This should be in some opeu er nearly open place where thoro vill be no overhanging branches from iees to interfere with the operation ef the apiarist, convenient to some building to bo used ns a shop for preparing tnd storing hivea and ap paratus, and near enotmh to tho house to bo ensily watched in swarminq time. and. above all.
