—A guinea hen belonging to Mrs. Har-
ies Pes haw be this State, is report-
ed to have laid 100 eggs in 102 days.
—The products of American
1907 {$7.4121000,000) could buy all the gold
in the ($5,987,000,000) and more.
—The poultry raisers of Petaluma, Cal.
received over $2,000,000 for the products
of their hens last year. The cash re-
ceipts averaged more than $5000 per day
for the entire year.
—[t is estimated that cholera costs
the farmers of the United States $40,000,-
000 annually. These figures are vouched
for by the Interstate Association of Live-
stock Commissioners. *
—A hemlock tree grown in Pennsyl-
vania, measured 18 feet in circumference,
feet to the forks, and uced 6000
—Tip-top-Notcher, the famous Duroc
ersey boar, the winner of the first pre-
mium at the St. Louis ition, recent-
died of rheumatism. He

for $5000.
—As the science of feeding is better
understood, breeders will be compelled to
breed hogs of a type that will fatten easi-
ly, and acres of clover and alfaifa,
beans, rape and the like will rotate wi
corn and help the farmers to grow a hog
possessing size and quality at a very low
cost.
—According to the Department of Agri-
culture of France a toad is worth $9; a
lizard, $9; a swallow, $20; a titmouse, $8;
the robin, $4; a bat, $30; an owl, $12; a
screech owl, $16; a fern owl. $30. That
looks bad when some of us come to think
it over and call tc mind how many of our
friends we have killed.
; pr the winter comes on ang fhe team
s provide a good, warm blanket for
each horse and use them whenever the
team is tied out for more than a few
minutes at a time. There are at least
three objects in the use of the horse
blanket—comfort, saving of feed and
prevention of colds and other diseases.
—The experiment of growing walnuts
on oak trees is, according to Jewspaper
reports, being conducted suc ly by
E. M. Price, of Sacramento, Cal., who has
a large number of new ies about his
home. The nuts are said to grow about
three times as large as those in the mar-
kets. The prodyct is the result of cutting
the limbs of walnut trees and grafting
them into oaks.
—If the horse has defective feet keep
them carefully trimmed and shod if neces-
sary. The soft hoof should be shod, and
od every six or eight weeks in winter
where the ground is frozen, and at all
time of the year where the roads are

is best, however, to breed for good feet.
—Part of the stamina, durability and
spirit of a horse is inherited, and part is
produced through proper feeding. The
growing colt should have a variety of
RouriShIng feeds that contain a fair pro-
portion of mineral matter for the build-
ing of a st frame. It should be al-
lowed the f of pasture for almost
all of the year, and a hilly pasture is pref-
erable for developing strong muscular,
lung and heart power.
—(ireat Britain's Ambassador, James
Bryce, was the chief speaker at the twen-
aint fa) me meeting of the National
armers’ at eigh, N. C., re-
cently. He declared that the problem of
scientific farming is one of the most im-
portant now before the world, and that
American farmers lead all others in get-
ting results whenever they make up their
minds to follow that vocation purely from
a scientific standpoint.
—lntestinal worms kill many good
horses before their owners find out what
the trouble is. Here is a remedy that is
used by many good breeders with success:
Powdered anise seed, 2 ounces; Jamaica
ginger, 5 ounces; pulverized nitrate of
potash, 6 ounces; te of iron, 4
ounces; ground 2 pounds. These
ingredients should be So mixed and a
heaping tablespoonful once each day
in a mixture of equal parts of oats and
bran. Besides being a worm er,
this remedy assists in toning up the
system.
rape cheese is manufactured and
extensively in the United States.
The original Dutch cheese is the product
made by allowing milk to stand until it
coagulates by the ordinary process of sour-
ing. The curd is put into cotton bags to
drain and after all free whey has escaped
the curd is salted. It is then pressed into
the form of balls and is for imme-
diate consumption. The method
of cottage cheese making differs some-
what from the above and gixes a more
uniform quality of cheese. Skim-milk
should be used, as whole milk loses too
much of its fat in the manufacturing pro-
cess.
—Broomhall’s final estimate of the 1909
wheat crop of the world, up to
fo
as
November 9th, places the total wheat pro- | n
duction of the wheat acreage of the world
at 3347 million bushels, an increase of 285
million bushels over the production in
1908, a 427 million bushel increase
the crop of 1907. The uction in
Europe
being 160 million bushels over the 1908
crop. The crops of North and South
America reaches 1040 million bushels, or
80 million bus over last year. It is
likely that this great production will not
be more than to supply the de-
mands of the world’s population.

The inner should then be filled with
soil, of a richness to suit the kind of flow-

choice of flowers, and these, to obtain the

plants from the florist, rather than at-
tempt to raise them from seeds.
are many varieties of annuals from which
to choose, but the greatest care should be
used in taking those that go well together,
and only one or two kinds should be placed
in the same box. Dwarf nasturtiums are
very sturdy and luxuriant growers, and
these, with their bright, warm colors,

EE too, might be planted with them,
in a row next to the windows. Another
pretty combination is boxes of pansies or
Violets with La border of Engli Ses.
eliotrope mignonette go wel -
er, and are deliciously scented, and the
old tried, bright red or white geraniums,
with a border of low ferns are most ef-
fective. Again, you might have asters and
forget-me-nots, or poppies with a candy-
tuft border. There are many other kinds
of annuals, such as low phlox, gaillardia,
bachelor’s buttons, four o'clocks, sweet
william, pinks, cockscomb, verbena, and
poinsettia leaves. The flowers should be
chosen, in color, to tone in with the color
scheme of the room, and, in kind, to thrive
well in the amount of sun that the ex-
posure warrants.
If the exposure is a cold one, some
good, hardy bulbs should be used. These
need only to be buried in the soil, and,
with very little care, they will spring up
and bloom in a few weeks. Tulips and
narcissus are the hardest, but the daffodil,
hyacinth, crocus, lily-of-the-vally and
tuberose will all bloom well. soil
should be kept very moist, and need not
be very rich. New bulbs must replace the
old ones as soon as the flowers have ceas-
ed to come.
Another effective addition is the train-
ing of vines from the boxes to the tops of
windows on strings. These should
first be well started by the florist, so that
the result may be more quickly obtained.
Ivy is the prettiest climber, but the Bos-
ton or ampelopeia, rather than the English
variety, sh be chosen, because of the
swiftness of growth. Then there is the
honeysuckle, the wild bean, the wistaria,
the morning glory, the climbing nastur-
tium and the

the Ivonne weather has set in, it is nec-
essary to take some precautions inst
the cold. Instead of the usual bio
shade, you should have a curtain of heavy
burlap, worked up and down by a cord
at either side. If this is drawn down at
night between the windows and the boxes
and the room kept at a certain tempera-
ture, the flowers will be puite well pro-
tected. To insure constant bloom, as
soon as the flowers begin to fade the
stalks should be picked off.
‘To make this corner of the room still
more attractive and useful, a window seat
might be added, and beneath it and the
boxes cupboards could be quilt in which
i! keep magazines and gardening uten-
sils.
In the middle box a
might be constructed with a huge shell
for a basin, and baskets and balls of fern
might hang from the ceiling. But all
these accessories must be left to the con-
venience and particular taste of the indi-
vidual. These flower boxes would also
look well in the enclosed piazzas which

The Useful Barn Owl.
A family of barn owls will number from |
three to seven birds. It is hard to believe |
what an amount of vermin a family of |
owls will consume. An old owl will cap-
ture as much or more food than a dozen
cats in a night. The owlets are alwa
hungry. will eat their own i
in food every night, and more, if they can
get it. A case is on record where a half-
grown owl was given all the mice it could
eat. It swallowed eight, one after the |
other. The rapid digestion of birds of
prey is shown by the fact that in three |
ours the little glutton was ready for a |
second meal, and swallowed four more
mice. If this can be done by a single bird,
what effect must a whole family of owls
have on the vermin of a community.
It would be difficult to point out a more
useful bird than the barn owl in any farm-
ing country. Like many other birds, it
deserves the fullest protection, but man
is often its worst enemy.

delicate women as “Favorite Prescrip-
