VALUABLE FARM HINTS. | 4} Whitewashing the trunks of trees will not prevent wormy apples. The trees must be sprayed as well. Do not compel your horses to begin the season's work with poorly-fitting collars. Provide a collar that fits well and make no change. "A little farm well tilled, a little wife well willed, a little pocket well filled," is, according to one who knows, the quintescence of human haoniness. Green bone fed to growing chickens as well as to full grown fowls is a valuable creator of blood, muscle and strength, and it cannot be beaten as an egg producer. It is claimed that a few drops of camphor in the drinking water will prevent little chicks getting bowel trouble, which is the cause of so many of the deaths in the spring. Oregon has accomplished a , great deal during the past ten years, for in that time the State has placed its fruits on tb*- markets of the entire world. Much of this brings the very highest prices. An ideal place for the hens to run in connection with the hen house is the shed under the barn where the cows have been fed. They pick up many seeds and do well with such a range. The temperature of an incubator should be between 4f? and tit) degrees for successful hatching. It might stand a trifle wider variation, but best results are obtained between these figures. Shelling seed corn carefully by hand is profitable. The greater the acreage planted the greater the profit. Into a shallow pan or box each ear should be shelled separately, rejecting any wormeaten or blemished kernels. If the supply from the one ear appears good and contains no poor kernels, it is poured into the general supply and another ear shelled in the same way.

EF Wholesale and Retai Value of Peanots. A man once made the munificent donation of 10 cents to Miss Martha Berry's school for mountain boys near Rome. Ga., says the Atlanta Journal. Miss Berry accepted the gift as graciously as though it had been $10,000 and resolved, as usual. to despise not the day of small things. She told the boys of the gentleman who had so generously aided them, held up the dime and then urged them one and all to strive valiantly to make ail they possibly could out of their coin. It was invested in peanuts. These were carefully planted, the whole school taking part. And how the boys worked fhonppfiirtli tn miil-p tliat tmh'll grow! The result was that at 4 the end of the season the dime's worth of groundpeas netted the * school $49. (JO. ( Of all the rich truths that lie within this story, none is more ^ practical than that the peanut is 4 one of the highly profitable, yet neglected, crops of our Southern 1 soil. The United States depart- j ment of agriculture lias recently issued a bulletin caliing attention < to tiie fact that the value of the ( country's peanut crop for 1908 . was $12,000,000.
