Prolific varieties, when given space, have shown ability to increase their grain production much more satisfactorily. than have the sin- gle ear varieties, because of their abil- 4ty to make up for deficiency in stand. The studies made by the department specialists have resulted In isolating: uniform types within a_variety. It has been found that so-called varieties of «corn are largely conglomerates of mauy distinet types, and to arrive at basie facts in breeding work it .is necessary to segregate .these uniform types. BARREL FOUNTAIN IS HANDY . Dutfit Will Save Lots of Work angd Also Insure Constant Supply of . Water for Fowls. | : —_ s i The diagram shown is of a. home- made poultry fountain. The cistern is a common barrel that is watertight, <connected to a drinking tank by a plece bt pipe with one elbow as shown, says a writer in The Farmer. A big . washer or something else of that shape is fastened on the end of the pipe at “C” in order to make a sort of rim on the inside of-the pipe. “A” is a‘piece . of board used for a float and tonnected ~to-plunger,-*“B,” by ‘means of a wire. This'makes a‘s€lf-locking valve s that the water will' flow in until the tank gets full when the float pulls the plunger up against the rim on the in- side of the pipe and shuts off the water which flows in again as the water is consamed. It is well to have the part of the tank where the valve is boxed off by itself with' a lid over to keep tomemade Poultry Fountain. the potixlt.ry from meddling with the valve. This outfit will save a lot of work and zlso insure a constant. sup- ply of fresh water if the cistern is kept replenished with a couple of pails of water once in awhile, ‘according to th:l wnumber of chickens. < CHICKENS NEED GREEN FEED Greatest Value Is Succulence, and Salts it Contains are Great As- sistance to Digestion. In nutritive elements, greek foods ‘contain so little strength that if thoir . only claim to poultry favor was on that account they would have been ' discarded long ago. Their greatest ~alue is their succulence, and the salts they contain, which promote digestion. Green feed in the winter poultry ra- tion helps-to keep a laying stock fin good toné. It assists digestion, and many poultry keepers use it for that reason and because it increases egg production. SUPPLY-MATERIAL FOR EGGS No One Kind of Grain Will Furnish All of 'Different Food Elements Required by Hen. There is no one kind of grain that alone will furnish all of the different food “elements required to maintain the body of the hen in good condition and also furnish the material of which eggs are made. Certain kinds of food combinations are required to make the yolk of the egg, certain other kinds are required to make the whites, while still other kinds are needed for build- ing the membranes which surround the volk and the white and the shell which contains all, n talk understandingly with one In Michigan about varieties. In the matter of fruit-variety names the ‘“Rules of Nomenclature,” fre- quently referred to as the “code” of ‘nomenclature adoptéd in' 1903 by the American Pomological soclety, govern in the work along this liné done by /the department of agricuiture. In fact this code constitutes the only recognized guide in America in th nnmmg of rrglt varieties. T Moreover, department workers are giving critical consideration to the possibility of making better varlety descriptions and f{llustrations than those usually made heretofore. This work has progressed farthér at the present. time with the apple than with any other fruit. It is expected that in due course after the work is com- pleted the results of the studies now being made will be -published by the department and thus be made avail- able for other workers in pomology and the publi¢c generally. TRAP FOR CATCHING: RABBITS | Practical and Easily Constructed Wooden Affair Is S8hown in lilus- tration—How Made. A practical and easily constructed rabbit trap consists of a wooden box, with & wire door which is closed when a wire trigger is pushed by the rabbit on entrance. ‘The box should be made of old boards, or new boards black- ened with a stain not likely to offend the. rabbit's delicate sense of smell. Five boards are required, two 1 by 6 by 22 inches, two 1 by 8 by 22 inches, and one 1 by 6 by 8 inches. These. are nailed together to form a square tube with the inside dimensions 6 by 6 by 22 inches. One end is closed by the small piece, The door is made of henvy'wlre. hung loosely in the open end of the box from two staples. A small strip of wood must be fastened in the bot- tom of the opening to prevent the rab- bit from pushing the door open when he is once caught. The trigger, also of wire, is hung from two staples in This' Practical Rabbit Trap. Resembles ,a Log, Requires No Bait, and Does Not Iqjurc the Rabbit. the top board of the box. The straight part of the trigger is 12 inches long, and.the loop 3 inches in diameter. Be sure that the trigger is hung so as to slide freely -through the staples. In’ operation . the trap is simple. It is set by pushing the door inward and upward “against the top board of the b?x, and pulling 'the trigger forward until the door’ will rest on the hook. Any green bait, such as lettuce, or a carrot, may be used, being placed in the closed end of the trap, but it is not absolutely necessary,the curlosity of the rabbit, and the likeness of the trap to a log being sufficient to at- tract him. As the animal enters the trap he pushes the loop of the trigger back until it réleases the door, which falls behind him, leaving him a pris- oner but uninjured.—Bertram Jack- son, Logansport, Ind,, Popular Science Monthly.

BEGIN ON SALTS Flush Your Kidneys Occasion- ally If You Eat Meat Regularly | [) No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority.

This arises from the fact that there are two kinds of half- dollars of 1853. The Tare variety has no.arrows at the dates and there is no sunburst on its reverse. % Only two specimens of this coin are | known to beiin existence. Half dol- lars of 1833 with arrows at date and sunbursts on the reverses are very nu- merous, however, and they have ‘fre- quently dashed the hopes of holders who were unfamiliar with the dis- tinction between the two varieties of the coin. \i NOTICE OF MORTGAGR FORE- .
