The loaa would be the more readily endured, perhaps, were real a really wholesome article of diet. It la tender and taatefut. to ae aure, aod much nought after by many, but Indigestible and of little food value.

The cattlo raising industry would be distributed throughout the entire country. Tb Keneral belief that Friday Is a day of ill luck had its origin In the his tory of Christ, the crucifixion taking place on that day. Friday, however. ky many has been held to bo a lucky day, as la Scotland It la a favorite day for weddings. Friday has been peculiarly lucky day In the his tory of America. It was on Friday, August 3, 1492, that Columbus set call on bis voyage of discovery, and Frl- day, October 12, that he first sighted land; Friday, November 22. 1493, that he reached Hlspanola ou his second voyage; Friday, June 13, 1494, that he reached the continent of America.

The Chinese have changed their cal endar, to conform with the Gregorian arrangement used by the people of the western world, and hereafter they will celebrate the New Year on the same day as tho Americans.

Building Must B So Arranged That It Will 8 Comfortable Place for Hans, Otherwise They Will Not Thrive. r.j j. o. itAi.riN Every poultry bouse should be well supplied with nexts which aro easily accessible and readily removed tor cleaning and disinfecting. There are many methods of arranging nests, each method having some particular advantage over all others. The nests may In some Instances be placed un der the front edge of the dropping board, and so arranged that the bens enter from tho rear nnU the attendant gathers tho -eggs by opening a door or doors on the front side. This la an Inexpensive arrangement, as the dropping board forms a cover for the nests. These nests are dark, which is a decided advantage, us hens like to hide, and there Is less danger of them learning to eat eggs. It baa the de cided disadvantage of making tho floor under the dropping boards of little use in feeding. It darkens the floor and hens are much more likely A Tier of Nests With Broody Coop on Top. B. Wall Nest. to lay In the straw on the floor than In the nests, V Ith the result that many times eggs are left for several days before being gathered. The care ful poultryman who furnishes guaran teed eggs will not sell thoso which have been laid on the floor. In build legs which have a high rear eleva- tlon, some of this trouble may be ob viated by elevating the roosts and dropping board. This can be done especially with Leghorns or other light breeds that fly well. For the heavier breeds. It will be found neces sary to put In a slanting board with cleats to enable the hens to walk to such a height. It will always be found necessary to keep the floor ex tremely well bedded. Many heavy hens will Jump ''own from the drop ping board instead of walking down the inclined perch and If the litter Is thin, they may Injure their feet Another and quite common arrange ment is to fasten small open boxes to the walls ot the poultry house These boxes can be fustened with two Cd nails and easily removed for cleaning. Where thl. system is used it the boxes should accidentally be come badly infested with niltes, the entire box being of little value, can be burned and new boxes put in. This method dors not allow trap nesting, and the nests are not dark, yet it is used very extensively by poultrymen Where hens are confined" and al lowed to lay In open nests of this type, the eggs should bo gathered at least twine each day. This Is an extremely good practice and should be followed, especially on farms where a good quality of table eggs is being pro duced. There are several good types ot wall nests, some of which are dark- D C. Wall Nest. D. Nest Under Drop ping Board. ened and others that are uot. A nest for a Leghorn or other small heii should be 12 inches square; for the larger varieties, 14 inches square. The ntft should give at least 12 inches head room and be about 14 inches high. They should be kept clean and well bedded with fine nesting mate rials, such as straw or hay. Shavings, excelsior, etc.. are not satisfactory as a rule, for they may stain the eggs. Coarse straw aud other harsh sub stances do not make satisfactory nest ing material. A hen likes a pliable, soft substance in tfce uest. Fowls need a chance to wallow in the dirt in order to free their bodies of scales and lice. Without this, their bodies become covered with broken down scales which, together, with lice, caune intense itching. In the win ter a dust bath usually has to be pro vided inside of the poultry house and should be near an open window, so that the sun shines on it during a part of the day. For this purpose a common box filled with fine sand, to which has been added a little insect powder, is quite effective. Sifted coal ashes and road dust, etc., also make effective dust baths. In a house which has a good dry sand floor, or In a cement floored house, where the floor Is covered with three or four Inches of th fine sand, a dust bath la seldom needed, as the hens will wallow in the sand on the floor. In the Hoghouse. Do not bed pigs on oats, buckwheat or other dusty straw, and l:' tho house be dusty, chooso a warm day, sprinkle with moistened sawdust and sweep It thoronighly. Dust causes coughs, sore mouths and sometimes death. Exercise the Stallion.

In cotton growing sections of tbt outh, where tho slnglo-crop system la mployed, so great U the soil water- washing that It requires ouly a few ears to wash away parts of fartna nder tillage. Borne attenmta are ha lug made to tOTTfrt f honA twin HI t inn Tho cotton grower must reject the old methods which were followed In the early days, and he must plan to turn the soli to greater depths. Deep '"owing not only facilitates the flow of water through tho soil, but it also assists In opening up or breaking the nnrapan layer which frequently re- uits from shallow cultivation. Under such treatment the upper layers of soil absorb and retain larger quanti ties or tho free water. Subsolilng might also be mentioned In this dis cussion, although this is a practice that has not been adopted In the southwest. The deep-tilling macbln ery provided by some plow companies win certainly bring about Improve ment In tho character of the surface layer of soil, and will ultimately assist In securing bettor yields on farms which heretofore have been cultivated at a loss. Contour plowing g adapted to mod erate slopes, aud should be amlled on fields that are gently rolling. Our system of farm management should also provide for an Increase la the supply of humus. It is not a difficult matter to secure vegetable matter. even In sections where livestock hus bandry does not form a part of the general farm plan. The cowpoa la an ideal crop for this purpose, and slnco it takes the same place in the south that red clover does In the north. It should be cultivated more generally. UnderUruinage may also aid in re moving the free water from tho sur face of areas which remain exceed ingly moist during the springtime. When such water is removed tho sur face soil la left in a more open con dition, and with the advent of heavy rains the surplus water passos read ily from the surface, percolating through the soil, and thus preventing severe erosion. Mention should also bo made of crop rotation. The use of catch crops In order to maintain vegetation upon the surface during; the greater part of the year is recommended; the maintenance of a permanent covering of grass on fields that are hilly (Ber muda grass answers well), and the reforestation of exceedingly steep slopes are also features which deserve more than a passing consideration. The terrace has not been adopted on the Oklahoma farm except in one or more sections. Just how far this plan can be developed remains to be seen. WORK IN BARLEY BREEDING Several New Forms Have Been Pro duced, Most Important Being , Tennessee Winter Variety. The bureau of plant industry has been doing extensive work in barley breeding, particularly those of winter varieties and those of the beardless a:; hull-less types. Several new forms have been produced, the most Important being a strain of Tennes- see winter without awns. This Is a valt'able improvement, as the awns have- always been objectionable. This barley will be increased as rapidly as possible and introduced among tho farmtsrs. Several beardless and hull- less barley hybrids which seem prom- lslng have also boen developed. In- vcstlgatlons are being made by the 1 government of the adaptation ot beardless and hull-less barleys. These varieties were at first used exclusively for hay purposes, but strains havtj been developed that mature their grain at high altitudes where other grain are generally unsuccessful. vt hr wav Hnotnr ri.r u r t let him get sick.

WOULD EDUCATE MAN To carry knowledge of srlntiflo agricultural methods directly to th man between the plow handles, and thereby Increase the agricultural prod ucts of this country by at least 10 per cent. Senator Hoke Smith In a speech In the senate the other day urged the passage of the Smith Lev r bill to establish agricultural exten sion departments In colleges of agri culture. "The annual value of our agrlcul tnrat products is, in round figures, S9.000.000.000." Senator Smith said. "If the increase as a result of this work wore only tr per cent we would havo an increased value of $l,S00.000, 000, or a sufficient sum to meet the proposed appropriation for 600 years. Senator Smith pointed to the pas sage of the Morrill bill for the estab lishment of land grant agricultural colleges In each of the states of the Union, and of the Hatch bill for the establishment of an experiment sta tion In each state. Upon them the aovernmeut Is now spending about 14.000,. 000 annually. Much of this money and year for the exclusively agricultural he stated. Is spent In investigating and and greatest crops can be raised. "There are students at those colleges who are obtaining much aid from the Instruction which they receive, but carry to the farmers at their home the and will be obtained by the work of continued the senator. "According to the plans of the bill," he continued, "the representatives of the colleges In the various states will enlist farmers who, under the direc tion of the representatives of the Agricultural college, will test the value on their own land of the Information brought by the representative of the college."

The government of Mexico has fought the Yaquls for thirty years, but today the Yaquls are unconquered. Mr. Hammond expects that the Madero government will pive him the permission which he desires. His program Is based on his belief that, as a result of his life and work In Mexico, many years ago. the undsr standing between him and the Yaquls Is so thorough as to obviate the risk of his being injured or killed. Major Hurnham. the famous American nnd South African scout and fighter, will accompany him.

Trusts and Currency Reform May Walt, Though Congress Can Take Them Up Also If it So Desires. Mow many subjects for the extra session of congrcbs? One, or tbrmi? The tariff alone, or the tariff, tuj trusts and currency it-form? The matter has been submitted to Mr. Wilson, and he has it under con sideration. We may know his views before tho call for the extra session Is Issued, but certainly e shall have them In that paper. If Mr. Wilson recommends action on the tariff alone, congress will not bo bound by the recommendation. It will be. at liberty to travel outside, the nunsage, and take up any subject It pleases. Or If Mr. Wilson recom mends action on several subjects, congress, If It pleases, will be at lib erty to confine itself to the tariff. The tariff, alone, Is a big proposi tion. KevtHion even a gentle re visionwill mean much to tho roun try. It bears this ret-emhlance to matrimony. It should not be "entered into iitiadvledly or lightly, but rever ently, discreetly, adviticdly, soberly." And time will not only be Import ant, but necessary. In the house the Republicans will be few In number, and at the mercy of rules making when Invoked for short debate. Hut In the senate they will be strong both In numbers and opportunity. The rules of that body make for liberal debate, and su( h debate Is always .de manded. We shall probably see, then, a tus sle worthy of the Importance of tho business when the action of tho housi comes up for review in the senate. For however swiftly nd firmly Mr. Underwood may have performed his part as chairman of ways and means of the house, Mr. Simmons as chair man of the finance committee of the senate will have to proceed slowly. The enemy in his front will bo able to dispute every Inch of the way. nd will do so. Of course the Democracy is as much committed to trust legislation nd currency legislation as to tariff legislation. Hut opinion puts the tar iff first. Doth victor and vanquished agree that the I'ayne law should be put on the operating table at once. The country has twice voted for its revision, and the sooner the mandates re obeyed the better. The trusts nd the currency can wait, and will have to wait only six or eight months. The first regular session of tho new congress will follow the extra ses sion at no great distance, and the ear ning out of the Ilaltimore rlatform can then be resumed. Haste makes waste, and sometimes sorrow. The Democracy has a big order, and should proceed with care n its execution. In two years in November, 1914 It will have to give an account at the polls of its steward ship, and if the record Is condemned the party's prospects for 1916 will be overcast. Chairmen No Longer Masters. The new congress. In on- particular nt least, will differ radically from Its predecessors. Jn the days of Aldrlch and Hale and Hanna an important committee chairman was the commit tee Itself. Then no senator would ac cept a chairmanship unless the com mittee membership was in accord with him. Those were the days of the ruling ten" and of the "inner circle." And, In passing, it might be mentioned that former 8enator Beverldge, were be a member of the senate today. would find himself embarrassed In the the newer company. Whereas Aldrlch and Piatt and Smoot nnd Beverldge were the masters of their committees, the older Democrats, who have been referred to as the Aldrich rings suc cessors, not only will be the servants of their committees, but must. In or der to makn their peace with the party, support the party's progressive policies. Why the Duty on Prunes? There 1b a duty of two cents a pound on prunes just, to keep out the product of the pauper fruit-growers of Europe and protect the owners of orchards in California and Oregon. Therefore, we observe with some in terest in the trade news that the San ta Clara valley has produced 165,000,- 000 pounds of prunes, the largest crop on record; that prices are ruling high er than ever, which Is attributed to the foreign demand, and that export ing has begun on a liberal scale Bosnia and Servla have not yielded their accustomed supplies, and Europe Is turning to this country. Yet the ex port of prunes is by no means a new thing. Al various times in the paat we have exported quantities of them, and the Pacific coast growers, whose fruit is sold in France, huve no need of protection from the French or tho Balkan growers.
