nil lose half of them or more.

vitn i took It off she left the nest, and
Ing would not go back until I made her.
v? Fortunately, however, there was another
hen wanting to set, so I put
no her on instead, and she sat fairly
v well for the remaining time, but I did

days, and then deliberately deserted
their nests, and I don't believe they
left thieo tsgs out of the whole lot.

When to Feed.
No animal Is fit for real hard or
fast work after eating a large meal,
but wo frequently practice feeding as
large an amodnt In the morning and
at noon as at night. When we force
work from the muscles a larger quan- fl
tity of blood goes to them and conse*
quently there Is a smaller quantity
that can go to the digestive organs. <
The result is digestion is checked and i
colic follows. f
Tt> prevent this all horses doing I
real hard work should receive all the \
hay they are to receive In the twenty- I
four hours at night. And right here
It may be well to state that horses
are usually fed very much more hay
than is best for them. If the horse
can be allowed to eat hay for at least
one nour before being fed his grain
at night, then at least, half the grain
he is to receive in the twenty-four
hours should also be given at night. j
The other half should be divided into , 1
two equal parts, one being given In
the morning and the other at noon.? (

Sweet Potato Investigations.
Extensive investigations dealing
with the sweet potato crop are being \
undertaken by the United States Department
of Agriculture. Experiments
are in progress at several centres,
and include a study of the kinds
most suitable for the several potato
growing districts. Research is being
made in regard to methods of growing
and their comparative coat, and
methods of harvesting, storing, packing
and shipping the crop. Tho question
of storage, it is stated, is receiving
special attention, in order to determine
the best means of curing, the
most suitable temperatures to be
maintained in the storage house, and
the amount of shrinkage that takes
place under those conditions. Attention
is also being given to the uses
and possibilities of sweet potatoes as
food for stock, as well as the desslcation
and canning of the product for
human consumption.
A Handy Barn. (
Here are plans for a handy barn.
It will hold seven head of horses and
about ten head of cows. A crib opposite
the feedway will hold about
600 bushels of corn and an oats bin
adjoining this will hold from 1000
to 1200 bushels of that grain. This

Poultry Notes.
Mites are one of the greatest
scourges of the poultryman, and from
them, directly or Indirectly, spring
the greatest portion of poultry diseases.
And often birds that, otherwise,
are very fine, have white or black
feathers to grow where they do not
belong, because the fowl's vitality Is
sapped by the mites.
They multiply at an astonishing
rate, and It requires the very hardest
and most nersistent work to rid the
premises of them. i
The most lasting preventive is boil-S
ing whitewash, to which has been * '
added to each bucketful a teaspoonful
of crude carbolic acid and a half
gallon of kerosene.
This must be put on boiling hot,
and special care must be given the
roosts to see that it geU into every
