Brood hows on the average farm
may be almost entirely supported by
waste products. And those same
waste products form the best Bort of
balanced ration. Skim milk, butter
milk, windfall apples, parings, a run
In tha orchard, with shade, and after
the litters are weaned and growing
nicely, a run in the stubble to clean
up every kernel of grain, and in fhe
clover fields after hay hae been cut.
Sow some rye for fall green forage
for the poultry. It lasts until snow
comes and Is there in the spring for
early picking. It makes fine pasture
for the turkeys even if at quite a dis
tance from the house. It disinfects
the soil and Is a good crop to sow on
the poultry runs this month to rid
the soil of impurities.
Train the colts, don't break them.
Many a good horse has been Bpolled
by breaking him when a colt. Get
his mouth accustomed to the bit be
fore a harness is put on him. Be
gentle and patient and you can make
a good horse out of almost any colt.

many thousands of dozens etich year.
Five per cent, of them all are culled
as "dirties" gad sold at a reduced
price causing the loss of millions of
dollar- every year.
'"The best medicine for poultry is
good* care. Cleanliness, light, warmth,
dry houses, .sound feet and pure wa
ter are bettor than the whole list of
remedtes. These are the "ounces of
prevention" thtat save tho "pounds of
fcure."
Unless free from lice, no flock will
thrive as It ought, and the owner
should help the chicks rid themselves
of these pests by, providing ^proper
dust baths and occasionally dusting
them himself with Insect powder.
It is a good plan to give the young
?pigs a good start along early in life.
Very many make the mistake of
crimping the pigs, thereby expecting
to get more lean meat. The muscles
grow when the pigs grow.

There are yet a few dairymen who
think they can Judge a cow by her
conformation. To satisfy yourself,
keep the accurate record of every cow>
In the herd and see how form and per
formance coincide.
A poultry house need not be artifi
cially heated to be warm enough for
the hens to be comfortable and lay
oggs, but it should be built very tight
and snug, so as .to exclude all drafts
of cold air.

It is easier to make a man a better
dairy feeder by suggestion than by
command. That's why the test asso
ciation is so valuable. When he sees
how it helps he is a willing learner.'
Mulch dahlias, carinas, caladiums
and like plants with coarse manure
and deluge with water. If water can
not be had, withhold the manure, as
manure alone is drying.
Eggs and meat are .the foundation
of the poultry buslnes. Let us aim for
this standard more, then we will have
better "standard breed" and more
profitable poultry.
The safest rule Is to commence
feeding in good season if the pastures
begin to fall and not wait until the
cows actually begin to fall in milk
prOduOttori.
To supply good food dairy
It is necessary to exercise fore
thought' and plan for the fall season
which is sure to come every year.
| Many tfbrses have sore shoulders be-'

Cows that are expected to return a
profit must have liberal rations of the
kinds of food adapted to their needs.
They must have dry, comfortable and
well ventilated sleeping places and be
kept free from excitement caused by
exposure and neglect. The practise
of allowing the dairy herd to run
over the farm and be herded by dogs
and children and compelled to eat
frosty clover and forage cannot be
made to return a profit, even though
they may consume waste fodders and
forage.
Saving the best ewos la not the only
thing. He must not ln-breed. but must
buy the best sire ho can find, not only
In blood-lines, but also In Individual!'
ty, a ram that looks like a sire, with
strong head, well-sprung ribs, and
large heart girth, a ram with a strong
bone, two good ends and a good,
straight back.' The breeder must not
consider his pocketbook.
Potato growers who "feed" their
potatoes well, and give them good
care, and select the best potatoes for
planting do not need to change their
seed stock every few years in order
to maintain Lho yield, because by so
doing thoy maintain the yielding pow
er in the potatoes they already have.
Every thinking farmer knows that
there are certain essentials that can
not be neglected at any season of the
year If the cows are kept In condition
to. give milk, and that If any or all
of these essentials are neglected there
is sure to bo a falling away in . the
milk yield. ?>
In making a kerosene "emulsion"
of any kind for the eradication of
lice, mites, flies, etc., great care must
be taken to see that the combination
is surely emulsified or serious re
sults may follow and more hide bo
"eradicated" than anything else.
Two things that deserve constant
attentLon at this time are the bits
and the blankets/^ Never allow a
frosty* bit to come in contact with the
horse's mouth and never leave the
team Without being well and com
fortably blanketed.
For the average dairyman it Is
cheaper to raise his own cows than
to buy . them. Besides, if he has good
cows to begin with he can more wise
ly select the cftlvos because of an Inti
mate knowledge of the work of the
mothers.
The black rot of tomatoes is a dif

of Bordeaux Mixture, if begun when
the tomatoes are Just forming and
continued until they are fairly well
grown, will prevent the disease.

A hen should be fed some grain that
she doesn't have to scratch for. Al
though exercise Is necessary to keep
her in good health, she needs tliqe to

Do not run the risk Of perpetuating

Selling the breeding stock because

a good price for It. Think this over.

Alleged Murderer in Virginia Jail Lib

Lovingston, Va.?The mountaineer
friends of John. Moore, under sen
tence to be electrocuted for the mur
der of Frank Howl, descended upon
the Nelson county Jail here, stormed
the building and rescued the prisoner.
It is supposed he will be taken to
the mountains and liberated, ,v
When the people of tho county seat
were asleep, a crowd of 75 fully-arm
ed men from the mountain section
where the crime was committed pro
ceeded quietly to the county jail. Ad
mission was gained to the building,
and the guards awed Into comparative
non-resistance. The cell where Moore
was locked up soon was found and
ho was taken out.
It is feared that bloodshed will re
sult from any attempt of the authori
ties to recapture the murderer. John
Moore was condemned to pay the
death penalty by electrocution at
Richmond on November 26. He had
been convicted of having murdered
Frank Howl In Nelson county last
May. Many of the mountaineer
friends of the condemned man believ
ed him Innocent of the crime.

records, covering a period of eighteen
years. Reports from other portions
of the Panhandle indicate that the

rain or snow. Although'the fall of

This Is tho first fruit of a series ol

bankers of this country justified ;>u

life work ended at Wolfert's Roost,
his country 'aome, near Albany. The
interment took place at Montour Falls
in Sehuyler county, where the former
governor and ex-United States senator
was born Bixty-aeven years ago.
Senator Hill had beeu ill nearly
three weeks with a cold and a bilious

his bedside. ' "?? ' ~"r*
Although he retired from active par

Hill was deeply interested In the prog
ress of the present campaign. Recent
ly he discussed the uituation with
Judge Parker, who was then prepar
ing to make a tour of the state in
the Interest of the Democratic ticket.
Senator Hill had entertained many
men distinguished In state and na
tional politics at Wolfert's Roost and
his guests always found him a most
hospitable host. The senator never
married, did not smoke and rarely In
dulged In intoxicqrtts.
Governor White Issued a proclama
tion requesting that all the Hags on
public buildings bo displayed half
mast until sundown on the day of
