WHITE HOLLAND HINTB.
Why White Holland raisers strain
their gizzard to breed that variety np
to high Uronze weights is a puzzler.
Bronze standard is thirty-six pounds
for cock, twenty for hen, twenty-live
for cockerel and sixteen for pultet,
while the White Holland to twenty
eight pounds for cock, eighteen for hen,
twenty for cockerel and fourteen for
pullet
These weights" "are all too high—
irtlflcial.
Heavyweights are flabby, unprollflc
breeders and not the market call.

twenty-five to thirty-five pounds selling

The White Holland ia naturally
medium sized, and as such ia at its
best for breeding and market, and big
size is a detriment to its propagation.

A farm journal advises Its rend
ers to buy dead horses and grind them
up for their hens. Such a practice
would soon destroy an egg seller's
business reputation, and any one do
ing such a stunt should l>e reported to
the board of health.'
If yonr bens loaf In a corner during
cold weather you should ge(. them hun

seen a hen lay well In winter that did
not exercise well.
While tbe prodnction of eggs Is vast
ly Increasing, tbe appreciation of eggs
as an article of diet Is much higher
and, with tbe Increase in population
and meat prices, the demand for eg;;s
Is really greater than the supply. Mil
lions of people are now solving this
egg problem by tilling tbe family egg
basket from a back lot flock.
Both tbe hen ana rooster have a rev
erence for tbe egg. When they de
generate Into egg fiends It Is nearly al

them the trick. Too few nests, too
■mall a nest, high nests, open top
nests, absence of shell making material
are mainly responsible for egg eating.
There Is an old saying that the tall
can't wag tbe dog. This Is rather re
versed In tbe case of some of our leg
horns bred for show, for some of the
roosters, especially, are about all tall.
This means less eggs, less vitality and
less fertility.
An order for day old Incubator

The usefulness of many a good breed
er, as well as his beauty, is often de
stroyed by freezing of the comb and

sleep him In a cozy covered box.

CARE OF THE EWES
AT LAMBING TIME
The busiest time In the whole year
for the sheep raiser ia when tbe lamba
are IHug dropped? nlong In tbe latter
part of the wluter. The actual proflta
of the whole year's sheep raising are
really being made at this time, and the
•hepberd la forced to work about twen
ty-four hoars out of every twenty-four
for a week or two.
During February and .March, and
sometimes during the of Jan
uary, the good shepherd finds that
practically every hour of his time Is
being taken up by the lambing ewes,
i.nnteni In hand, he must visit the
sheep once or twice during the night.

times us difficult its when the sheep are
being corraled In sheds and pens every
night.
In order that help and care may be
given every ewe mid lamb that may
need It, try to visit every sheep In tbe
flock about three or four times daily.
During the day. 1/ she sheep bapiien to

of tbe pasture.

the lambs ure to be expected If Is wise
to set apart as milch of tbe sheep sheds
and shelters us citu possibly be spared
and divide them nil into temporary
pens. These should, be used for the
ewes Immediately after they have drop
ped their lambs. Lust year I took a
apace four feet wide nlong the east
wall of a long sheep shed and fenced It
off from the rest of the Interior, says u
Kentucky shepherd In Farm Progress
By dividing this long space Into little
pens five feet long I inude room for a

A space 4 by 5 Is plenty big enough
to hold a mother and her lamb com
fortably for a night and a day. When
a ewe und lamb are brought In I put

little feed for the mother and a bucket
of water to help allay ber feverish

a young lamb Is about the worst thing
that can happen to him.
. The Care of a Churn.
There Is u great difference In the ap
pearance of churns after tbey have
been used a while. Some get dark col
ored and InXe their fresh, clenii look.
Moreover, there Is often more or less

supposed, to tbe fact that a much used
churn never has n chance .to become
thoroughly dried out Neglect to keep
it scrupulously clean Is fatal to any
wooden utensil, since It will quickly

fitloa entirely. All tbe Inside at n

good scrtldlng 'with boiling water.
There Is no necessity of so treating the

CORN LACKS PROTEIN.

President Ilenry J. Waters of the
Kansas Agricultural college in un ad

corn Is deficient In two ways—lt Is defi

more than half tbe protein It has Is not

President Waters showed that a pro
tein once built up iu animal body, such
as meat scraps, dried blood, milk case-
In, eggs, otc., are complete proteins and
produce growth when fed to other ani
mals. A large proportion of tbe vege
table proteins derived from bonus, pens,
linseed lueai, clover and alfalfa, appear
to be complete and are capable of mak

MUNICIPAL CARE

By HINIIY N. CASTIB.
I might summarize the method of

such authority.
Second.—Have your city authorities

Third.—Have the commission organ
ize and draft such ordinances as will
be necessary in the execution of Its
power.
Fourth.—Cut busy. Plant, prune, cul
tivate, water and systematically care
for all the street trees of your city,
the exleul at your work to lie com
mensurate with the appropriations
granted by the city and tbe Income
from work done fur citizens.
Now, having provided the necessary
legal machinery lo set in motion your
street commission, you still have phys
ically to plant the trees. The best

Intelligent or lack of Intelligent work
ing out of llio powers conferred by the
ordinance depends the success or fail

A word or two as to tbe formation
of your commission. Pick carefully
your members. They should ho men
or women of sufficient public spirit to
be .willing to give tbe necessary even
ing once each week for tbe first yelir
or so until plans arc well formulated
and operations running smoothly.
All should tie citizens of recognized
influenco In the .community whose
plans and workings will command the
respect of Its citizens. Let as little as
posfflhle of the appropriations made for
the maintenance of the commission be
used in running the machinery. Unless

FRONT YARD PLANNING.
When Bpace Is Bmall Great Cars Must
Be Used.
On a lot of fifty feet the house is
usually wltllln .twenty feet of tbe side
walk. Small grounds like this should
never have shrulis dotted over tbein or
be cut up with beds, as this makes the
front yard look cluttered.
All planting, uulemi It be of trees,
should be close to tbe house In a way
to cover tbe underpinning as much as
possible or on 'he line lietween lots
Shrubs in the 1 kground, with hardy
herbaceous plants, bedding plants and
annuals' In front, nre most desirable.
If you use more than one color, avoid
those that clash, sucb as several
shades of red. Use enough white to
bring out tlie mixture.
The inusslug of several plants of one
color Is most effective. If you uue yel
low have the plants dwarf and In the
front. If blue enters Into your plant-
Ing that should be at the farthest point.
Avoid straight lines as far as possible.
Oraceful curves give much more natu
ral effect und a lietter perspective.
STREET TREE PRUNING.
A Few Hints For This Important Part
of Maintenance Work.
The work of pruning should be lie
gun at the top of the tree and com
pleted at the bottom. In this way the
desired farm can lie lietter secured,
and there la less danger of accident.
The men employed should lie careful
not to do more damage by breaking
and bruising thnn they do good by
pruning. A rope properly adjusted
about the waist and fastened to a
stout limb alsive the workman Is an
excellent inpnns of sustaining the prin
cipal weight of the while moving
about through the tree. The form and
dlrectlou of the cut when removing
branches depend upon tho position of
the branch on tho tree and upon
whether It Is to Imi (Imply shortened
or entirely removed.
Erect branches aft shortened by cut
ting tbem at an angle, tliua preventing
■the undue entrance of water, while
«ldo branches are cut perpendicularly
for the same reason.
FRANCE'S GOOD IDEA.
Municipal Employment Bureau te Be
Tried In Paria.
Tho French government passed a low
In I!XH authorizing the establishment
of free municipal employment bureaus.
Nothing was done a bout (lie matter
until last year, .when the minister of
lajior aroused new Interest In Uio es
tablishment of these bureaus, which
had been worked out so successfully In
(■ertnaiiy, Belgium, Switzerland, etc.
He invited the prefects to consider Hie
matter, and the prefect of the Seine
has bccu instructed to present definite
plana to (he municipal council for the
establishment of sucb a bureau In one
of (he dlstrictt of Paris.
The plan Is tocmdtict the burenu on
very democratic lines, in have It con
trolled by a commission eotnjsmcd of
. the workmen and employers and [ire
tided over by a man of special quallfl
totlona.
