Hints That Poultry Raisers May Prof- itably Bear In Mind. - [Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] Allow the hens free range. the garden. not the hens. Stronger fertility is secured from birds on range. Remove the male birds from the flock as soon as the hatching season is over s0 as to produce infertile eggs. Infertile eggs are produced by hens having no male birds with them. Infertile eggs keep much better than those that are fertile. The male bird has no influence on the number of eggs laid. The bhen's greatest profit producing period is the first and second years. February and March are the best hatching months, Chicks hatched dur- ing these months are freer from sore head than those hatched later. Do not allow setting hens to remain in the henhouse. By so doing many Wire in A PLYMOUTH ROCK. eggs are started to incubate, which renders them unfit for use at home or to market. i If possible place the brood coops near the cornfield, which furnishes both shade and fresh ground. The frce use of kerosene or crude petroleum on the roosts, dropping boards, in the cracks and around the nests will exterminate mites. White- .wash is also good. Spray the brood ceops once a week with some of these solutions and move to. fresh ground. Be sure and feed the table scraps to the” fowls. Milk is one of the best feeds for egg production. For addi- tional information on poultry get in touch with your county agent and state agricultural college. Write to the department of agricul- ture, Washington, D. C., for Farmers' Dulletins on poultry. They are free for the asking. Annual Weeds. As to the duration our weeds may Le grouped.into three classes—annuals, biennials and perennials. Annual weeds are those which produce seed aud die the same season that they be- gin their growth. They come up anew cach year from seed. Some of the most common annual agricultural weeds occurring in the west are pig- weeds, wild oats, ragweeds, goosefoot or lamb's quarters, shepherd’s purse. 1 grass, false flax, barnyard squirrel tail grass, sweet clover, Lnot grass, witch grass, Russian this- tle, crab grass and sow thistle. The following suggestions are given for combating weeds of the annual class: In the case of a tilled crop and fallow land cultivate thoroughly just after the seed has germinated. On land badly infested with such weeds place a crop that can be given clean tillage, such as potatoes or beets. Un- der no circumstances allow the plants to go to seed. Clean cultivation is one of the best means of keeping the land free from weeds of all kinds.—W. W. tobins, Colorado Station. oo e — | ORCHARD AND GARDEN. R — A potted plant must have air about the roots and good drainage, as it would in the garden. Rhubarb roots stored in the cellar may now be started into growth and will give good stalks In a few weeks. Large beets may be put in moist soil tear a sunny window and give a few crops of greens between new and spring. Jardinieres in which water is allow- ed to stand make good graves for house plants. Keep them free of wa- ter if you want healthy plants. Look for scale and mealy bug on ferns and other house plants. To rid the plants of the insects wash with soap and water, using a soft sponge or brush; then cleanse with clear water. Rain water is better than well water, since it does not contain i, which often leaves white streaks on the leaves. Watch the new house plants obtain- cd at Christmas time. Remember, they are from a greenhouse, in which the air is moist, so water frequently and thoroughly. A good way is to set the pot in a tub or pan and sprinkle the leaves. If it is a flowering plant be careful-not to get water on the flow- ers.—Leroy Cady, University Farm, St. Paul.

(By Hal Sheridan) Alleged phenoms by the score are drifting into Muggsy McGraw’s” of- fice this week, and Johnny is giving them the once over before he takes Lis mob of recruits and regulars to Ifarlin Springs next Thursday. McGraw is abiding by the league rTule that training is not to begin until March 1, and will start the main bunch southward on February 25, landing them in Marlin’s tall grass three days later. But when the recruits get there, they’ll find a few of the veterans a couple of baths chead of them, and ready to instruct Dick Kinsella’s finds in the art of losing their swollen dispositions. Kinsella has been ploughing through the woods, looking up trees for recruits ever since last July, and he thinks he has a lot of phenoms. There are twenty pitchers, twelve in- fielders and seven possible outfield- crs in the bunch likely to stand the preliminary weeding out, but Mec- Graw says the total number of young- sters anxious for a tryout, who will pay- their own fare to Marlin, is far heyond him. The squad that leaves New York next Thursday will be joined at St. Louis by another division, and they will land in Marlin just under the barrier, as provided by the league de- cision, which is more, much more strict observance of the rule than by most of the National league clubs. OKLAHOMA CONSERVES ITS NATURAL RESOURCES Oklahoma City, Okla., Feb., 19.— Taking of crude oil or petroleum from Oklahoma at a time when there is no great demand for the product or a fair price, is prohibited in the “‘oil conservation” bill passed by the ctate legislature. The Corporation commission is empowered to fix the price of oil, the law stating that the actual value shall be the average value as near as may be ascertained in the United States at retail of the by-products of such crude oil when refined, less the cost and a reason- able profit in the business of trans- porting, refining and marketing the same. Overproduction’ in the state oil fields last season, resulting in the price per barrel dropping below 50 cents, resulted in the passage of the bill. It is considered the most dras- tic piece of legislation ever attempt- ed in Oklahoma. During the debate on the measure, Corporation Commis- sioner George Henshaw was quoted as having said that the Prairie Oil company had taken from Oklahoma. in 1914, in profits, $40,000,000.

A truthful statement of a Bemidji citizen, given in his own words should convince the most skeptical about the merits of Doan’s Kidney Pills. If you suffer from backache, nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary disorders or any form of kidney ills, use a tested kidney medicine. A Bemidji citizen telis of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could you demand more convinc- ing proof of merit? P. M. Dicaire, grocer, 1101 Irvine Ave., Bemidji, says: _“I was afflicted for fifteen years with kidney trouble. I had pain in the small of my back and twinges when stooping or lift- ing. My back also ached at night. I had dizzy spells and after stooping, ay sight became blurred.

The number, according to a bulletin on “Statistics of Co-opera-| tion Among Farmers in Minnesota,” by L. D. H. Weld, Chief of the Divi- sion of Research in Agricultural Economics of the University of Min-|let, Mr. Joe, Henderson, Geo. H., nesota, is 614, which is 72 per cent of all the creameries in Minnesota. Forty-two per cent of all the farm- ers in the state are patrons of these creameries. ‘There is no other im- portant dairy state, says Mr. Weld, where the butter industry is con- trolled to such an extent by the farm- ers themselves. A majority of the creameries are operated on a no-profit basis, deducting from their gross re- ceipts enough to cover expenses and distributing the remainder from month to month according to the amount of butter fat brought in by patrons. These creameries in 1913 made 74,934,940 pounds of butter. This was an average of 122,044 pounds for each creamery. For the butter fat the farmers were paid $19,988,- 321. The average amount paid to the farmer by each creamery was $32,664. The total = running ex- penses for the co-operative cream- eries was $1,682,931. The average number of cows for each creamery was 822, Queen Elizabeth of Belgium spends about $10,000 a year on dresses.
