A treat deal of Interest is being
manifested these days in the small
farm.
Horses, hogs, pigs and calves eat
silage and thrive on it as well as does
the dairy cow.
The milk from a cow in a poor 'run
down condition is certain to be cor
respondingly poor.
Every orchard ought to be planted
In checks to admit of clean cultivation
with the smallest amount of hoeing.
On the average farm, fifty hens
bring as big returns as the best cow
in the herd with less feed and care.
Many times, one hill will produce
six eight-ounce potatoes; which is
at the rate of 520 bushels per acre.
Chicken-eating sows are said to be
cured by a tablespoonful of baking
soda in slop three times a day for a
week.
The cream separator, the silo and I
the manure spreader should find a
place in the equipment of every dairy

The feeding of clover hay to poultry
is a very simple matter and can be
successfully done by any farmer or
poultryman.
Scales are a good tiling for a man
to have. They enable him to know
Just what he has to sell and also
what he buys.
Ewes that go into their winter quar

There is often a tendency on the
part of beginners to Increase their
herds too rapidly. Better go slowly

A variety of crops certainly adds to
the pleasure of living, if be can have

and the late blackberries.
Go carefully over your farming
scheme as you worked it last season,
try to discover the weak spots and

If you have plenty of pasture and
milk, that veal calf will make nice
baby beef this fall late, either for mar

It is estimated that 90 per cent of
the poultry product of the country
come from the farm, and that the
value of these is close to $300,000,000
yearly.
A few drops of tincture of iron In

The matter of keeping records Is im

A weak point In dairying is he lack
of cleanliness at all times and in all
things.
Treating small grains with formalin
Is too Important to be overlooked by
farmers.
To give profitable returns dairy
cows must be well bred, well fed and
well managed.
The most profitable nut trees for the
middle states are the chestnuts, wal
nuts and shellbarka.
The first great requisite in the care
of stock Is perfect cleanliness, pure air
and abundant sunshine.
A hen that does not lay usually
does not bother the trap nest unless
she is after eggs for food.
Flax has been found a profitable

In buying a barrel churn don't get

it takes a long time to churn.
Raising of broilers Is a business by

with success increase the capacity.
Scrub poultry may serve a good pur
pose in the pot but they should not
be permitted to propagate their kind.
Stables should be. well lighted and
so arranged that tne llgnt will not
strike the animals directly in the eyes.
Few farmers and poultrymen know
about the feeding value of bright
well-cured clover hay for laying bens.
Tou can not make a greater mis
take than to confine your breeding
ducks, especially if they are Indian
Runners.
One of the very important things to
do this month is to make your selec
tion of seeds and plants and order
them now.
Pruning apple trees Involves so
many principles that only the most
general survey can be given in a short
discussion.
The dairy cow Is one of the best
money makers on the farm; but like
hens, she pays only according to
"value received."
The Holsteln, the Ayrshire and the
milking shorthorn are the best breeds
for the milk farmer to raise. For
cream Belect the Guernsey.
Good comfortable housing and Judi
cious feeding are the two cardinal
principles of successfully wittering
the breeding ewes.
The value of skim milk on the
farm when fed in conjunction with
grain is greater than it is usually
given credit for being.
It is a good time now to take an in
ventory of your farm and plan to keep
records of all transactions connected
with yoar farming operations.
Don't be in a hurry to get rid of the
old bull. Remember that he has prov
en himself and the calf that yon buy
will be more or less of a lottery.
A chilled egg will bring forth a
weak chick If it hatches at all and a
weak chick that has hard work to live
is sometimes worse than no chick at
an.
During the breeding season mate
one drake with four ducks until the
last of April, then diminish the num
ber of drakes to one drake to five or
six ducks.
The lack ot success which so many
farmers have with chickens in largely
due to a lack ' of planning, and they
neglect to give the fowls the attention
these plans call for.
Anyone can easily see that bone is
one of the nest leeas ror producing
eggs, as the fat assists in forming the
yolk of the egg and also ia sustain
ing the fowl in winter.
Butter is a good price. Feed is com
paratively cheap, especially so if you
have saved all of your roughage, such
as cornstalks, the best of our straw,
and things of that sort - which fre
quently go to waste.

WORKINGS OF CHILD'S MIND
Society Organised In England to Solve
Mysterious Influences Govern
ing Little Polka,
There is in London, England, an or
ganisation known as the Child Study
society, members of which devote
their time to studying the mystert
one workings of children's minds. Dur
ing the last two years, for instance,
the association has been conducting
an Inquiry to ascertain what games
and what toys English children like
beBt and why.
Nine thousand forms have been dis
tributed to school children between
three and thirteen years of age, and
the results are now announced. Both
with girls and boys "Ring of Roses"
was an easy first favorite among
games between the ages of three and
six. A common reason for this pref
erence was "Because I like to fail
down."
After that skipping, for girls, came
next but the boys were strong for
cricket and football and horses. In
spite of rumors to .the contrary the
doll remains the favorite t07 with Eng
lish girls. Next in popularity came a
doll's carriage, and third a doll's
house. Boys, it seems, are much more
liberal In their tastes and go in
for engines, horses, bells and magic
lanterns. Books are hardly ever men
tioned.
The reasons given by children were
often quaint One child volunteered
the statement that "games take one's
mind off unpleasant thoughts and
duties." Others gave reasons such as
"keeps children from worrying their
parents," or, "keeps me in at night"
Up to the age of ten love of power
was the prevailing sentiment, and rea
sons for preferring one toy over anoth
er took the form of an answer such as
"I like to make it obey me."
Telling Time.
"What time is it Grace V asked
three-year-old Eva from her little bed.
"A quarter to eight," Grace replied.
"No; I don't think it ia."
"Yes, dear, it is."
"Well, 111 look when I get up in the
morrJng."
BOY MAKES NOTABLE RECORD
Earl Hopping, 1S-Year-Old Arkansas
Lad. Raises Fifty Bushels of
Corn on Rocky Soil.
It remained for Earl Hopping, a 15-
year-old boy, Bon of O. P. Hopping,
living three and a half miles from
Rogers, Ark., to raise fifty busbels of
corn on an acre of ground conceded
to be the rockiest acre of ground In
Benton county.
The ground is literally covered with
flint rock, says the Kansas City Star.
Earl Hopping says that no attempt is
made to clear the ground of rocks
smaller in else than a man's head.
The boy. cultivated his acre accord
ing to instructions from the united
States farm demonstration depart
ment
He was assisted In his work by bis
goat The goat hauled the roca from
the ground in the homemade wagon
and hauled 'the manure to the ground.

animal would have been, possibly
more successful, because of its size,
while Its dainty, careful feet ran less
.risk in injuring the stalks during the
late cultivations. .
Earl Hopping has written his meth
od of procedure for The Star and has
told graphically how ae woraea to
accomplish such results on apparently
worthless ground.
Incidentally, it may be remarked
that the letter Is given exactly as the

In spelling nor in grammar, ana ue
writing was beyond criticism. Which
leads to the side remark that lntelll
rence is found in the successful farm
er as surely as it is found in the suc
cessful maangeemnt of any business.
Earl Hopping writes that he farms
as his father tanght him, and his rath-,

TRADING KNIVES IS HIS FAD

Boys are not alone In their love of

superintendent in Philadelphia told
his class recently that he had con

"I never play cards or any other
game of chance," he said, "but I sim
ply can't resist trading knives. A
friend of mine held his knife in his
closed hand and offered to trade it for
the one I had in my pocket As my
knife bad all the blades broken I
didn't see how I could get the worst
of it, nor did I, for his had one whole
blade. Since then I have traded
knives nine times and I have finally
secured through various stages a real

If I come across a man who wants to
trade I dont think I could resist, al

get the worst of the bargain. It
would serve me right if I should be

the first of April I harrowed it both
ways, then marked off the corn rows
both ways with a single stock plow,
and dropped and covered the corn by
hand. I then took the goat and his

cart loads of manure and put on the
crosses.
"When the corn became large
enough to cultivate I took an old

five or six times, plowing It .first

many times it rained during the last
season, but it was not a very good

which I raised my prize corn was
