PRINCE .-ALEXANDER. OF TECK
Canada's New Ruler Descendant From
Mprganatic Marriage -More Royal
Than King Himself.
' London. Atnfcuncement of the se
lection of Prince Alexander of Teck,
the brother of Queen Mary, to succeed
the duke of Connaught as governor
general of Canada has served to again
bring to mind the romantic history of
the he-use of Teck.
The status of the Teck family is
most peculiar. Though descended from
a morganatic marriage contracted 75
years ago, the family has given a
queen consort to Great Britain, whose
Prince Alexander of Teck.
eldest son will, if he lives, succeed
his father on the throne. Also Prince
Alexander of Teck. though his family
has not been classed with royalty, is
one generation nearer to George III
than is the present king. He is.
through his mother, a -great-grandson
of that monarch, whereas George V
is a great-great grandson.
The first duke of Teck was the son
of Duke Alexander of Wurttemberg by
his morganatic wife, Countess de
fthedey, who subsequently received
the ."augmentation" of countess of
Hohenstein. The countess was not of
'equal birth" of the duke, and he could
not obtain the consent of his -kinfolk
to have the union treated as other
than a morganatic marriage.
The offspring of tills union, who
might call himself count of Hohen
stein, duke or prince of Teck, as he
listed, came to England and married
Princes Mary of Cambridge. They
were the parents of Queen Mary and
of Prince Alexander and his brothers.

dle. VALUE OF PLOW AND HARROW
In Purchasing Implements for the
Farm Their Construction Should
1 Be Carefully Studied.
(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
The value of a plow or other farm
Implement consists of its doing the
thing we want it to do. The plow
with a light draft simply turns and
cuts the furrow with the least resist
ance, resulting in very smooth work
to look upon, but its effect upon the
soil is not nearly so valuable as that of
the plow that runs harder and gives
more resistance to the soil and breaks
it up finer. The plow that has a
harder draft goes through the soil and
not only breaks it up and turns a fur
row, but in the process it grinds and
pulverizes it into smaller particles.
The more thoroughly the soil is
broken up, the more the plant food is
made available and plant food is what
we are after. In purchasing plows
we want to study their construction
with this in mind.
, The same applies to" the selection of
the harrow. The harrow that has an
easy draft cannot do as good work as
one that moves more soil and runs
deeper. A harrow should do smooth,
work and incorporate the vegetable
matter and fertilizers with the soil in
a uniform manner.
The function of the harrow is to
still further reduce and refine soil par
ticles, because in every process of re
finement we are getting at the plant
food which is still so abundant in our
soil.
On the average farm where there
are various types of soil, a disk har
row, a spring tooth harrow and a
smoothing harrow are practical neces
sities. It is worse than folly for farm
ers to spend for commercial fertilizers
or chemical plant foods until they
have first made use of that which is so
plentiful in their own soil at the pres
ent time.
I am a firm friend of fertilizers but
I do not believe in buying them until
we have made use of every method of
rgetting at the plant food already con
tained in our soils.
GROWING RUSSIAN CA33AGZ

Weeks' Less Time to Mature
Than Other Varieties.
Among the maturing varieties of
cabbage the Volga, a comparatively

j becauge u requireg

class to mature, says Farm and Fire
side. Concerning it tlie late C. L. Al
len, whose bock on cabbage, cauli
flower and allied plants is the ac
Imowledged authority, writes: "This
new Russian variety is of the greatest
uniformity. In a field of several acres i
frequently not a single plant .shows '
any variation from a true and valua- j
ble type. .In some respects it is a
vegetable wonder, as the heads are
about equal in size and shape, weigh
ing from 12 to IS pounds each, round
as a ball, the largest measuring about
12 inches in diam.eter either way.' Un
like most varieties, the heads are per
fectly solid, and the stem does not run
up into the head; the flesh i3 exceed
ingly firm, tendsr and white. In re
spect to hardiness, we have never seen
i & type wnien would favorably com
pare."
Feed Calves in Stanchions.
Calves should be fed in ar stanchion
so constructed as to prevent them
from sucking each others', ears after
they have drunk their milk. The feed
ing of grain, by placing a little before
them after every meal of milk will
also discourage the desire to suck the
ears of the .calf in the next stanchion..

MITES CAUSE IMMENSE LOSS
Common Sentiment Among Farmers
That All Flocks Are Troubled by
Little Marauders.
Many a keeper of poultry has had
Occasion to regret not being careful
enough about the nests where the
birds lay and where they hatch their
broods.
On farms where poultry are neglect
ed it is safe to assume that the nests
are worse neglected than any other
feature of the poultry establishment,
la the majority of neglected flocks it
will doubtless be found that mites are
present. In fact, it is common senti
ment among farmers that all flocks
have mites. The presence of mites in
the poultry house means that they are
enormously abundant . in the nests,
where they hide under the nest mate
rial. When some nests are lifted up it is
found that the under part of the straw
is alive with these very small marau
ders. Think of hens trying to stay long
enough on such nests to deposit eggs
but, what is worse, think of hens try
ing to hatch out broods with these
parasites attacking them nightly.
Where mites are present the nest3
must be cleaned out every few days
tnd the old material burned. Also the
nest boxes should have the cracks
filled up to prevent the mites from find
ing a hiding place. One of the very
good materials to use for ihis purpose
is what is called "tar" in the east and
"pitch" in the west. It is the kind used
on the hulls nd rigging of vessels and
is not the coal tar so commonly used
fcr various purposes.
The pitch is solid and easily fills up
the cracks and all apertures uid will
last forever. It can usually Se pur
chased in small quantities and will be
found very useful to have ahout.
FEEDING THE BABY CHICKS
Oregon Experiment Station
Makes
Recommendation of System to Be
Followed by Pouitryman.
The Oregon station recommends the
following system . of feeding baby
chicks. No food is given until the
chicks are about thirty-six hours old.
They are then given bran, mixed
crumbly with raw egg, or bread dipped
in milk and squeezed dry, twice a day
for the first week, and equal parts of
cracked wheat and cracked . corn on
clean sand three times a day. After
two or three days the grain mixture
is fed in the litter. Clean water, grit,
charcoal and cracked bone, in sepa
rate dishes, are kept before them.
They also have access to green food.
When ope week old the chicks are fed
a moist mash of three parts bran, one
part wheat middlings, one pound corn
meal, and a pinch of salt about what,
they will eat up in an hour grain mix
tore two or three times a day, beef
scraps in a hopper, and other supplies
as before. When three weeks old they
have milk added to the ration.
Care of Hatching Eggs.
A breeder of fancy poultry who
hatches his chicks altogether with
hens gets the straw matting around
bottles and tea and lines his nest
boxes to prevent possible breakage of
eggs against the sides of the box. He
changes this frequently as a precau
tion against mites.
Lime is Good Thing. V
Lime is a .very good thing to use
about the poultry houses. An occa
sional coat of whitewash on the .walls
and on the nest ; boxes greatly im
provef j flie look of the house, besides
being good disinfectant and vermin
killer.;.. " - :
