The value of feeding sunflower seed
o poultry cannot be too highly estimated.
As a matter of fact, where it
li&s been tried, the birds also doubled
their laying qualities. The new Mammoth
Russian sunflower is the variety
to grow; this contains much larger
seed, and with more egg forming material,
than the common sunflower.
Fed to the Light Urahmas, it has indeed
been known to make them lay
equally as well as the Leghorns or
any of the other smaller breeds. It
also improved them greatly in size by
being given to the chicks while growing.
The Russian sunflower can be
produced more cheaply than any other
grain with much less labor, too, and
best of all it will grow, in any climate
on any soil. Therefore, fanciers as
well as farmers should not overlook
It, for poultry, if rightly handled, will
bring more money according to the

T?? Prevent Spring; l?iv iml 1 i njj.
Watering bees is of considerable
benefit and we would as soon think of
allowing our other stock to roam the
country in quest of water as the bees
in the apiary. During winter the
moisture that condenses in the hive
furnishes the colony water, hut during
the early spring these condensations
cease. They begin brood rearing
early, and in order to prepare food
for the young larva must have water.
The most vigorous bees go forth in
quest of water, lind it at some brook
or tank where it is ice cold till themselves
and are chilled, and do not get
back to the hive. The necessities for

colony is emaciated and the brood
dies.
Every careful beekeeper well knows
that one bee in early spring is of more
value to him than a half a hundred
later on. In order to prevent spring
dwindling we take a Mason half-gallon
fruit Jar, remove the screw top. take
b seven-eighths board four inches
square and with a small gouge or a
knife cut a groove nearly from one
extreme corner to the other, taking
cure not to cut quite to the corner.
Fill the jnr with water, place the board

Ttnlalnir Turkey*.
Many have the ambition to raise
turkeys but comparatively few dure
embark upon the venture for fear of
making a failure. The young turkey
is indeed a delicate bird, and needs
most skilful care and proper handling.
For example, it must not be exposed
to rain or cold: must not be overwearied
by the restless wandering of
the hen; must have the right food,and
not too much of it. Therefore, as the
mother bin! is naturally a wild wanderer.
a great difficulty is met with,
in keeping her within bounds, let
alone the constant watchfulness demanded
to keen her and her brood cut
of the numerous dangers to which they
are subject.
The majority of failures, however,
are due to over fussing with the food.
Baked cakes, boiled eggs, and other
prepared dainties, give much trouble,
for they are really not good for the
birds. Mother Nature herself shows
us this. Take it where the wild turkey
flourishes, and broods of a dozen
or more will he seen running with the
old hens, from vhieh it is reasonable
to conclude that the best feeding is
that which the birds procure in their
native woodland haunts. This consists
chiefly of grubs, beetles, flies, and the
seeds of plants and trees: also, the
wild chestnut crop, and the smaller
acorns on which the wild turkey fattens
fast. The berries of the woods
afford much food, and if this natural
feeding can be nearly imitated, good
results will generally attend the care
of a young brood of turkeys.
The list of foods required Is as follows:
Buckwheat, corn, barley, wheat,
young grass, chopped cabbage,
chopped meat scraps, and usually the
kitchen waste from the table. Cooking
this mixture, however, is not desirable.
The young birds tirst meal
should consist of cracked corn and
cracked oats or wheat, soaked in
water over night, so that it may be
in much the same condition as the
food naturally gathered on the open
ground. The fact is. dry food is one
of the frequent causes of failure to
rear turkey chicks.?The Kpitomist.
^< (1 ? rop? nmi "i n?*tr Selection.
It is gratifying to notice that most
seed crops, such as beans, peas, turnips
and other marketable winter vegetables.
have had a satisfactory season.
and that in spite of large imports
of dried peas and beans, our American
crops have sold at good prices. There
should be no need of imports of any
of those crops, and there would be
none if intelligent American farmers
would grow some of the varieties that
are in fashionnble demand. ICxports
of American peas and beans have increased
in the part year, partly due
to the great quantities needed by tho
American army in the Philippines.
The beans that are in the most demand
and which pay the highest prices
are not always the kind that the average
farmer can raise at a profit. 1
have found that it pays better to raise
the particular variety which seems
adapted to my soil and climate than to
force the growth of some which only
Indifferently thrive here. This. I believe.
is becoming the fashion among
all seedsmen and growers. There are
certain restricted areas where onions
do their best, and another where peas
and beans thrive well. By finding out
what crop will do the best in a certain
locality we soon establish a rt putation
for quality that pays in the ? nd.
* wiiiicini-iii n imc onions ormg a dollar
or more a barrel in every market
because of the reputation established
in this way. New York state hops
ore quoted higher than those of any
other section for the same reason, and
western New York peas and beans are
likewise worth a little more than the
average lot that goes to market.
More care in the selection of seed
varieties I believe is needed just now
than anything else. Seedsmen and
consumers of dried pens and beans
are becoming more critical and exact
tng. They demnnd the best and pay
accordingly. In raising crops of this
nature it is impossible to tell be forehand
the acreage or the average size
of the crop, consequently the producei
cannot estimate the output or chances
of good prices. In most other farm
products it is e asier to foretell a possible
glut in the market. It is well to
dispose of the crop as a consequence
as early as possible at a fair price.
Plenty of dealers and seedsmen will
make offers for the output if the eon
ditlon of the seeds is guaranteed to

Tli?? 51y?tcry of Sound.
Sound is one of the simplest
things in the world, and yet to many
persons, young and old, it is one of
the most mysterious. Tell them, for
example, that the fall of a tree in a
forest makes no sound in itself, and
they smile incredulously; or, if they
believe you, they confess that they
cannot understand it. When you say
that the presence of some person or
some thing with ears is absolutely essential
to tin- production of sound they
seem unable to grasp the idea, and
contend that the fall of the tree does
make, and cannot help making, a
noise, which is there, all the same,
v.lu.her there be anybody to hear it
or not.
Hut they are wrong, of course, for
there is no sound except in the ear. In
the making of a sound there arc throe
essential conditions. I.et us take this

if the other circumstances are

when so stored, and even for
eating after some weeks there is a
perceptible difference in the "freshness"
of eggs thus kept. Eggs may
be stored in this position either in
bran or in a board pierced with holes;
and if the board, or the bran case, lie
covered over by a cover of blanket or
sacking made to fit. and a cool and
quiet place is available, the very bci/t

but to prevent draught, which increases
evaporation of the t'.uid contents
and enlarges the a'r chamber.

School Hell Kings by Klectrlclty.
Isear Roanoke, 111., near the center
of the state, there is a school teacher
whose ingenuity might not please all
of his pupils?that Is. the indolent
ones. B. N. Wheelwright teaches a
district school, and In a district school,
you know?or perhaps some city children
do not know?the teacher has to
ring the hell and build the fire and
j sweep fho floor, unless he pays some
ambitious hoy to do it for him. But
this teacher does not have to hire a
bov to rinir thn l?r.ii -i
? ..u. w ue ring
it himself, yet. no matter what he n?ay
he doing at 9 o'clock in the morning,
the hell sets up a clatter that no hoy
or girl can escape. Mr. Wheelwright
has arranged a clock which at the
proper hour sets in motion an electric
apparatus that puts the hell to ringing.
The boys of that district have no longer
any hope that tlio teacher will l>o so
engrosed in some task that he will forget
to call school. The bell rings alsoat
10:4ft a. ra., 1 p. m., 2:30 p. m. and
at 4 o'clock.
The spinster who left 510.000 in her
will for the maintenance of her dog
would not have been able to be so munificent
if she had got married. Which
shows that there are advantages to
every way of life.
