' 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. DAMAGED STATUES IN BERLIN Retired French Amy Officer Broke Marble From "Sieges Allee" Monuments. Berlin.

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 Conspicuous Because It Requires Two Weeks' Less Time to Mature Than Other Varieties. Among the maturing varieties of cabbage the Volga, a comparatively npw pnrt in Amprina to rnncrnrunnc j becauge u requireg ; legs thaQ Qther 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.

Chicks will thrive better on dry earth floors, however. The last of these coops were made wi,th hinged floors. It takes very lit tle time to turn back the coop and put a little earth on the floor then replace the coop. I change this earth fre quently so as not to allow it to be come foul.

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.
