A Woman's Poultry Profits. t.1is litt s with pou ig her bus husband I much a mndeed~ thought it rather beneath matn's dignity to look after chicken until I had my eyes opencd to n folly," remarked a farmer recent]: "Sit years ago the drought in our se tionl cut my crops so close that whE - I went into the winter I found myse short of ready cash after settling i the season's business.

I know they are r money producers and that neither ie drought nor floods affect them." Rotting of Tomatoes. There has been a great deal of a complaint about tomatoes rotting this r. year. It is a dry, black rot that at n tacks the blossom end about ,the time o or just before the tomato begins to d get ripe. Some people think it is . caused by too much dampness when o the tomatoes are close to the ground; or by vines being too thick. My ex I- perience is that it is dry weather and hot sunshine that causes them to rot. instead of the wet weather. When I trimmed my tomatoes to a single stem and tied them up to stakes, o they rotted a great deal worse than they did when I let the vines run and d fall down to shade the tomatoes. If t ou have noticed, those that come up 'volunteer" around the fence where they are shaded from the sun are gen s erally the first ones to get ripe and v rot the least. So you see it is not because they are shaded that they tt rot. e what caused the tomatoes to rot so bad this year, I think, was on ac . count of the hot sun and dry weather when they first began to ripen and be fore the vines had gotten thick s enough to shade them. As soon as 0 the rains came and the vines got rank e enough to shade the tomatoes and s keep them damp they quit rotting. s Nature knows what is best and has -. given the tomato a vine to cover her 9 fr-iit from the burning sun. When e we try to improve on nature by cut y ting away part of the vine to let in the sunshine we ruin the fruit if the 5, weather is hot and dry. And the n vines that are not trimmed will bear 5, fruit of a better flavor, the tomatoes 0 not being so strong and sour as they If are when the sun shines directly on them.' S This is my experience and ye nev C er' fail to have plenty of tomatoes )f I even when our neighbors have none. n -L. 0. H., in Indiana Farmer. Saving Manure. 0 Referring to the loss of manure re sulting from careless or thoughtless handling. H. Leigh Hunt tells Coun t try Gentleman readers to bed cattle and horses, calves and pigs abundant e lv with straw, leaves or sawdust, both t for the comfort of the animals, clean liness, and for the absorption of man urial elements. For use directly in the cellars, muck, leaf mold from the ~woods, turf or dry earth are excel lent. Sawdust is often the most eas e ily obtained, but on land where root crops are to be raised it will, if very freely used, cause a fungus blight, or scab. Of itself it has little value, being usually of soft wood, but will absorb the liquids readily when dry, and this makes excellent bedding. Liquid manure is available at once, and the more quickly it is applied to the land the better; but the solids must go through a process of decay before they are ready for the plant. Manure on which hogs have run all - winter is so valuable, largely on ac count of the working over that the .hogs give it, when it is'iplentifully y mixed with straw or other bedding is material or a quantity of corn is o thrown amongst it, its dinintegration into particles is much hastened. Much handling improves manure, but it should never be allowed to dry in the sun. After being applied to the land, it should be harrowed in at once and Sthoroughly mixed with the soil to Sprevent loss. If left for days after vspreading, as it often is, it dries and Lcakes and loses half its value. One who has never tried it will be sur ~prised at the first trial to see the amount of manure wasted by turning the cows out at night during the il summer. Knowing that they fed lit dtle during the night, I had my cows aturned into a small, dry yard, where d they could be in the fresh air, but could not wander. Each morning a Sman goes over the yard with a shovel and throws the droppings in a pile. tA shelter of old boards on four green posts protects them from rain and sun. 'As often as needed, the heap 0is drawn out and used. This daily chore keeps the yard clean, for the cattle to lie in at night, and saves many loads of fertilizer. It takes sonly a few moments of time each day. No manure loses more from expo esure than that of poultry. It is very rrich in ammonia, and this escapes into the air and goes to waste. Ab sorbents under the perches, and fre ~quent, even daily, cleaning of the dropping boards, storing the manure in receptacles that largely exclude air, will insure a fertilizer of much more value than when the droppings t are allowed to lie on the floor from tmonth to month, as occurs in many henhouses. If farming is so be made profitable, all these little leaks must be stopped. -Long Snake in a Tree. e While walking through the woods -near his '1ome and gazing into the treetops for a sight of a squirrel, iCharles Batchfield, a farmer of Lib terty township, near Millville, was un d prepared for the sight that met his a gaze. and for a time was somewhat startled. sFifteen feet from the ground, pro truding from a hole in the tree, Mr. Batchfield saw the head of a snake, -with the tongue darting out of its Ifmouth. Batchnfield promptly killed the snake, which measured seven feet and eight inches long and was about two inches in diameter at the largest part cf the body. The color was 'rown, with bars a short distance ~apart of a lighter color.--Newcastle Correspondence Indianapolis News. p According to Government experts, e the gren: Salton Sea. although ir. e places fifteen miles wide and forty d miles long. will disappear by evrIpora, tion by 1925. Profes:or Thomas Jamieson, of Aberdeen, is making himself very an noying to orthodox science by insist ing .that plants take their nitrogen j from leaves and not from roots. A pulse counting watch has been Invented for the use of ph'ysicians and nurses in London. The watch indi cates, without mental calculation, the number of beats of the pulse in a minute. Asbestos houses are much used in Australia, says Popular Mechanics. It is stated that they are not only fire -proof, but impervious to water, unaf fected by heat or cold and of high in sulating properties. Still another fav orable feature is the fact that it is not attacke.1 by white ants or other in sects that abound in southern coun tries. t During the last twenty years the lakes of Russian Central Asia have shown a steady rise of water level in the entire, region between the fortieth parallel and the trans-Siberian Rail way, and from the Caucasus to Chi nese Turkestan. , Within this period, or since 1885, the Sea of Aral has risen about six and a half feet. The phenomenon has accompanied a pe riod of augmentation of rainfall, and J. de Schokalsky thinks that it has now attained its maximum. F. de Mare has invented an appli cation of the mercury vapor-lamp to the sterilization of water through the bactericidal properties of the violet and ultra violet rays which such lamps emit. The water to be steril ized is leI through spiral tubes round the lamp, which is in the form of a long glass tube. On its way it is sub jected to the action of the rays streaming through it. and then it passes into a sterilized receptacle. To t remove solid impurities after the ster- t ilization the water may be passed through an ordinary filter. A substitute for gutta percha, ebon ite, celluloid, amber and other insu lators, has been invented by Dr. Bake land, president of the American Elec tro-Chemical Society, from whom it takes the name "bakelite." It is pro duced through the condensation of formaldehyde and phenol. .It is said to be an electric insulator of the first rank, insoluble in all ordinary dissol vents, and not melting at high tem peratures. In chemical constitution it closely resembles Japanese lacquer, the composition of which has always been more or less of a mystery. r With the assistance of Messrs. H. d'Osmont and Montpillard, Mr. Payle, a French photographer, has succeed- ' c ed in obtaining interior photographs in the colors of nature by the use ofc magnesium light. The exposures are, of course, instantaneous, and the suc-a cess o fthe experiments is based upon the 'employment of a special- powder Ij composed of magnesium and phospho-c rus, which burns with great rapidity, and specially colored screens. The photographs of moving objects are said to be surprisingly perfect In allt their colors. The operation Is per formed as in ordinary photography I with magnesium light. That is to say, the lights in the room are left burning when the exposure is made. WHY JAP BABIES ARE GOOD. i They Escape the Ordeal of Wearing Uncomfortable American Clothing. "Americans -.onder at the amiable temper of our Japanese babies; the real marvel is the measure of good nature which the American baby manages to retaina&fter all he is called upon to go through in dressing," says Adachi Kinnosuke, in The Delineator. "How on earth can the most perfect of saints, let alone a baby, be expected to retain his Christian virtues! Hris legs and~necksare twisted into all sorts of double knots three, four times aa day, that they may be squeezed 1: ~through a tight-fitting shirt. When I saw, for the first time, an American baby dressed, I thought that, com pared to it, the Anglican .and Catholic Church ceremonies were of a mere 'ring-a-rosy' simplicity. Our baby clothes are certainly simpler. Inci dentally they are wide minded and grow in them without its putting up a ring fight. "Baby dresses are cut, along gen eral lines, the same as the kimono of the grown-ups. Only for the baby the sleeves and skirts are longer and wider in proportion, so that they will cover the bare feet; besides protect Ing the bare hands, the long sleeves save faces from heartless scratch ings. "After the first bath, the nurse takes out an undergarment, fits it into the inner side of an outer gar ment and then lays the dresses, thus fitted, upon the soft padded mat floor and simply and naturally puts the baby into the open folds. No screams. What excuse can the baby have to yell? Simply a matter of dress nothing more. But see what a differ efrce it makes la life! To the Ameri can mother the century old hysterical fit of screaming so terrifying to her; to the Japanese mother, perhaps, the sweetest melody on earth-the mel low cooing of content." Good Copy.
