{ —A cow is not milking much mon-
ey into the pail unless she produces
close to 5000 pounds in a year’s time.
| —A novel and easy way to make
, wet mash is to pour a little milk in the
‘mash hopper at noon. Just enough
i liquid should be used to moisten what
! the birds will clean up.
—Potatoes should be sprayed at in-
sidered essential. Many young coup- tervals of 10 days right up to the
les do not take a trip but proceed di- time the vine dies. The longer the
rect from the church to their future crop can be kept growing the larger
home, where the reception is held. In
this case, the duties of the head usher
are the same as at the reception, save
that he is assisted in taking charge of
the guests by the mother of the bride.
Avoid any silly manifestations of af-
fection in public. Observe a respect-
ful reserve toward each other; thus
you will not expose yourself to ridi-
cule by demonstration of affection
which should be kept for the sacred
privacy of home. While on tour peo-
ple will know you are newly married,
so do not give them more opportuni-
ties for criticism than necessary.
Brides and grooms are regarded as le-
gitimate prey for the fun-lovers, the
former being so engrossed in them-
selves they do not seem to be aware
that the world contains others. How-
ever this may be, the bridal couple

—~Clean up the red spider. In many
. sections of the State this is the worst
| pest on apples and this year it is es-
| pecially. bad. Trees lose in vitality
when severely attacked by the spi-
! ders.
| —Keep colts in a cool, dark stable
i during the day with a little oats to
‘nibble at so they will be protected
‘from flies. Turn them out at night.
; This practice will benefit both the foal
i and its dam.
— Artificial light may be used on
| late-hatched pullets, permitting them
to finish their growth. A 12-hour
| day is all that should be given until
| they are well developed. After that
13 hours of light may be safely used.

ted to dwell in this state of ecstacy
but once in their lives.
Every Pennsylvanian has certainly
reason to be proud because they can
say, we are Pennsylvanians.
sylvania, called the “Keystone State,”
is in the southern group of north At-
lantic States. Its land surface is 44,-
985 square miles; it is 302 miles long
and 158 miles wide. We border on
New York on the north; New York
and New Jersey on the east; Dela-
ware, Maryland and West Virginia on
the south, and West Virginia and
Ohio on the:west. The population-is
7,665,111, including 156,845 Negroes.
Our climate is mild zero weather, as
the Alleghenies are a barrier to the
northwest winds. The western part
of the State has a climate to the Lake
regions. Our coal deposits are the
greatest and richest in the world; we
have produced over sixty millions
of anthracite coal, which is re-
garded the largest output attainable.
Bituminous coal of late has supplant-
ed anthracite to a large extent and
and now constitutes 76 per cent of her
total coal production. We are also
credited with contributing from 65 to
70 per cent. of the entire coke pro-
duct produced in the country, Connels-
ville being the centre of production.
Dating back from 1692 to the present
time, the iron industry of Pennsylva-
nia has had a continuous rise. Pitts-
burgh and Allegheny county are the
chief centres. Our progressiveness in
the school industry is unequalled.

* —Changing the composition of the
laying mash at this time of year is
| dangerous and should be done very
slowly, if at all. A sudden change is
‘apt to check egg production, and
i throw the birds into a premature
! molt.
—Paralyzed Pullets.—Kill the erip-
ples and slit their intestines from end
to end. The tape-worm and the long
round-worm may be causing the hav-
oc. The agricultural extension serv-
ice of Pennsylvania State College wiil
be glad to tell you how to combat
these parasites.
—In order that the cockerels may
be cared for properly there should be
a “Y.M. C. A.” on every poultry
farm. This “Y. M. C. A” for the
“young bloods” of the flock should
consist of a luxurious range with trees
for shade, a fence for restraint, and
good grass on which to feast.
~—On account of the recent dry
spell, it is probable that the Hessian
fly will emerge later than usual un-
less there is sufficient rain to loosen
the ground. This makes a delay in
planting still more necessary if the
dates are usually a week or two later
than most farmers plant.
—Pastures in many sections of
Pennsylvania have been unusually
good so far this season. The wise
dairyman will plan to supplement the
dry short pastures during the fall.
With these undeniable facts staring us
in the fact we should all be proud be-
cause we are fortunate enough to be |
Pennsylvanians. Besides our church :

Corn, oats and bran should form the
bulk of the ration with a small amount
of gluten, cottonseed meal, or linseed
oil meal, if not too laxative.

It is provided further by the Act
that “ail persons who have complied
with the requirements of the rules an!
regulations of the Bureau of Medical
Education and Licensure, a division of
the Department of Pubiic instruction,
and who shall have passed a final ex-
amination who have iikewise cemplied

as provided for in Section 6, which li-

office of the Department of Public In-
struction in a record book properly
kept for that purpose and which shall
be open to public inspection.”
Every branch of the medical profes-
.sion is said to be affected by the pro-
visions of the new statute. Ghiroprac-
tors are also said to come within its
scope and because of the Act a num-
ber of chiropractors are discontinu-
ing the same for the reason that it is
stated that chiropractic has never
been embraced in the rules and regu-
lations and Licensure and therefore
those engaged in the same cannot
qualify for registration before that
body.

a crotch of that tree which apparently
has been there so long that it is grown
over,” remarked a motorist who had
stopoed for a drink of water. “No
doubt one of your relatives hung it
there back in the sixties, went to war
and never returned.”
“Well, not presizely,” replied Gap
Johnson, of Rumpus Ridge. “About
twenty years ago I got sorter tired
using the scythe and hung it up there.

—Not only is the practice of miik-

again bad for the unborn calf and the
cow herself, but the yield during the
following lactation period is seriously
impaired, so much so that in some

result. It is not worth risking the
milking value of the cow to this ex-
tent merely to get the few gallons she
gives at the end of her lactation.

ing, and the mixtures when made soft,
should be passed through a sieve, and
the remaining lumps carefully broken
up. If the mixture is not to be sown
immediately, it should preferably not
be bagged at once, owing to its ten-
dency to set quickly after mixing, but
should be allowed to lie in a heap for
broken up, riddled and then bagged.
—1It is a bad practice to store pota-
toes in large bins or piles. Not infre-
quently potatoes are piled to a depth
of 10 to 15 feet, the pile being corres-
pondingly large in the other two di-
mensions. When stored in this man-
ner they are almost certain to go
through a rather violent sweating or
curing process, during the course of
which the tubers in the central por-
tion of the pile are frequently sub-
jected to a dangerously high tempera-
ture. This is especially true if the
tubers are slightly immature, or were
not dry and free from moist soil when
gathered, or if stored when the out-
side temperature is high, making it
difficult to lower the inside tempera-
ture of the house. ;
