«atln« -H*nrr norkUSE MORE NUTS.

We have our nuts freaheat and rtmiiest In tbe fall, but the peanut la like the poor “always witl. us," and we may fall back on tbe pi el elan ground nut for many good dishes. Any nuts that are purchased alielled should be carefully washed and dried before using, even when they bare been banoied under sanitary conditions as far • known; this is sasrntlal. Those who are fortunate enough to j bare a hickory grove or even one or two trees to supply them with this do- ! lirlou* nut no other need be desired : The black walnut too Is another goodivoted nut and grows in various ins of the country. Where one Urea near a brook where 1 watercress grows, a most refreshing id satisfying salad may be made, a*X watercress sprinkled with nuts of j ij kind, a little shredded onion and French d:-essing. Any plain lee cream Is made mnrappetlrlng by a spoonful of fresh n few nuts added to almost any cake filling improve It They may be made into a loaf, being good substitute for meat or served with fruit and gelatin, make a very pretty dessert. Pecan Breakfast Muffins^—Take a ipful and a half of flour sltted with teaspoonful of baking powder, add is egg. o half tcaspoonful of salt, and cupful of milk. Bent well for five tinutes; add two cupfuls of rolled pern meats and bake In a hot oven in ;em jam*. Other nuts may be substluted. but these are especially good. Gingerbread la made quite elegant > sprinkling a naif-cupful of chopped lots over he top Just us It goes Into

Temporary Unfitness Should Bs Dlatlnguished From Permanent Unsoundness—Some of Common Faults and Blemishes. (By H. H. REESE.) Selection of a horse must be based primarily or a thorough, systematic examination; tbe examination should be based on a dear knowledge of desirable and undesirable qualities. Not only the presence of umuiundncwi but also the condition or seriousness of tbe uusoundness should be noted. Temporary unfitness should he distinguished from permanent nnsoundnesa.

Work Should Begin as Soon Am Six Inches High and Ccrtinue at Intervals. Tbe weather condition* which fnror tbe spread of late potato blight arc a humid, still atmosphere with a tern- • perature around Tt degrees F. Above I 78 F. and below 00 F. there is practlcally no germlnutlcn of the blight ' spores. Since spraying for late bllg'it i Is a preventive rather ihau a curative i measure, spraying should begin as soon ! as the plants are six inthea high and 1 should continue at lnt« -val* of one or two weeks, depending upon weather conditions until near tbe time of ma-

turity.

Tbe effect!vrnrfc* of spraying as a preventive depends ui*>n ihe thoroughness with which it Is done, h Is essential that the whole plant be kept constantly covered with the mixture If the blight spores are to be prevented ! from finding a place of entrance Into j

A hurried examination la likely to prove a disappointment. Observe blemishes, vice, faulty conformation, unsoundnrss and general characteristic*. Common blemishes are scars from old wounds, poll evil, scratches, shoe holla and small ruptures. Common vices arc halter pulling, cribbing kicking, stall walking, weaving, end biting. Common faults of conformation are straight shoulders, crooked, weak or Improperly set leg*, ewe neck. long, weak back and drooping

croup.

Common nnsoundnesa are spUnta. tborougbpin. spavin, curb, extreme fistula, ringbone, side bones, extreme atrophy of muscles, contracted tendons and broken wind. General characteristics Include fleshing, terojierament, quality, color, and age. In final selection, look for the good qualities and weigh them against the defects. Enlargements or scars (due to deformity. unusual mishap, or uncommon disease) not conforming to any of those discussed should cause a horse to be rejected unless the nature of the cause and the detriment to the value and usefulness of the animal Is self-evident. Experience gained by examining large numbers of horse* will aid In quickening the eye and Judgment, thereby making It possible to perceive readily any unusual condition. but It should be remembered that a hurried examination la liable to prove a disspixilntment. consequently plenty of time should be taken In making the examination, because time Is much cheaper than money tied up lu an unsatisfactory horse, if possible. p-t a history of the animal, atd while you are about It. get a history of the per-on having It for sale. So many defect! may tc covered up by kaefi unfair met bods us drugging .* It Is a good plu» to make I'U. ...ases only from those with good rej.utaUoc*. Horses offered at auction saleshould be thoroughly examined previous to their being brought Into the ring, or cl«e they should be tried out In compliance with the rules of the sale before time for settlement. It Is well not to form the habit of seeing only the defects, for horses, like people, are seldom perfect, consequently In Judging them weigh the good qualities against the had. A horse should be valued by the amount of service he will perform rather than by his minor shortcomings. CAUSE OF SCOURS IN CALVES Avoid Irregular Feeding and Dirty Milk or Pailt—Best to Separate Affected Arlmal. Scours In calve* are caused by Irregular feeding, overfeeding, sudden change of feed, fermented feeds, feeding dlrtv or sour milk or milk of diseased rows, the use of dirty milk palls or feed boxes, and damj>. dirty stable*. As soon ss scour* are discovered it I* ' best to separate tbe affected calf from the others and carefully disinfect the FEED CALF SEPARATED MILK ; This May Be Done Where Animals Are Especially Strong at Birth—Make Cnange Gradually.

ESTIMATE OF DAY’S PLOWING Tims Required to Plow an Aera Depends on Bias of Plow and Number of Horses Used. Farmers frequently want to know how much land can be plowed In a day and how much work it requires to break an acre. Record? at tbe Missouri College of Agriculture on 2.12J acres of land show that it required 3.4 hours of man labor and H J hours of home labor for each acre. Of course, the time required to plow an acre will dejx-nd on the size of the plow and the number of Worses used. A four-horse gang plow with two 12-lncb bottoms will average about 4-12 acres a day of 9.6 hours when It Is running six Incber deep. The same plow running eight Inches deep will break a quarter of an acre less. A three-horse sulky with a 14 or 16-Inch bottom will average about 2Ji acres at a slx-lnch depth, and aboqf J2 acre less for tbe eightinch depth. A two-horse 14-lncb walking plow will break about 1-76 acres a day at a slx-lnch depth and about Ji acre less at the eight-inch depth.

ECONOMICAL FEED FOR HENS Simple Ration, Consisting of Corn and Preteln Supplement Favored by Chio Station. Tha: a simple ration consisting of corn and a protein supplement Is more economical under usual marker conditions than a mixture of several different beds for laying hen* Is shown by feeding tests at tbe Ohio experimect

station.

Corn andl meet scrap have given practically as good returns ns a ration of corn, wheat, oats. bran, middling*, ollmral and meat scrap. The bens fed the simple ration had arccH* to selffeeding hopper* containing n dry mash made of right parti of ground corn and five parts of meat scrap analyzing 60 jwr cent protein. They received twice as much corn, fed In equal portions In the Utter twice dally, as they C >n*nmed of the mash, and also had grit and oyster sheila. The hen* fed tbe variety ration laid more egg*, but not enough more tn pay for the extra cost of their feed. Tankage and skim milk, as well as meat •crap, are recommended to be fed with corn for laying hens.

To have the tools within reach makes for economy of time in putting In odd moments tn the garden. Tools have a way of acattrring and hiding when wanted most.

YARD FOR UTTLE CHICKENS Wire Covered Device. Attached to Brooding Coop, Will Be Found Quito Convenient. For the jverson who hatches and broods little chicken* In the good oldfashioned way. with Biddy to furnish the heat. Oil* little covered wire yard to be attached to a brooding coop should prove a mighty handy arrangement. It will keep the little fellows from wandering far away from mother until they are large enough to knowenough to rome In out of the rain when one of those frequent shower* blows up; and this wandering, while still young and foolish. Is cause for the death of a goodly percentage of early batched chicks, and la Incidentally cause for a whole heap of tiresome running about by the good housewife who looks after most of tbe rhlikrtis on our farms. This j>en consists of four rectangular frames. <>r woven wire walls. The two side and end frames are hinged to the top frame so that they can be folded

When placed In front of a brotder coop, this contrivance gives the chicks a little grassy range, and yet ketrj* them within sound of tbe coaxing rail of the old lien. Also, the coop can be opened so as to ellow tbe hen to have the same range a* the chicks, and u little exercise Is a mighty good thing tor her a* well as for the chicks. Incidentally, this little pen keeps rats and other prowling, murdering varmints away from the chicks.

PUN TO FERTILIZE TUBERS Uae of Barnyard Manure and Acid Phosphate Recommended as Ideal

by Ohio Station.

Selection of a good clover sod where !>otatoes have not grown for at least five years, end the use of barnyard manure with acid jihospbate arc given by the Ohio experiment station as Ideal conditions for lertlUxlng potatoes. After 23 years* Investigations with this croji tbe experiment station advises farmers to plow under 12 to 16 ton* of manure per acre If plenty U available, and then to apply about :#*i jwii.nds of arid jihosplmtc per acre ns a surface dressing. U manure Is scarce four or five tons per acre may be used, and then 400 jMiunds of arid phosphate along with 100 pounds of nitrate of soda will yield about the same result*. These cxjwrimmts have *1- wn that fertiliser should be spread over all the land and not confined to the potato rows, for In this way the potato root* sjiread out more widely and succeeding crop* make bettor u*e of what the potatoes leave.

PACKING EGGS FOR HATCHING Good Plan to Uso Strong Basket Lined With Excelsior—Aim ti Any .'erring. A good way to pack eggs for hatching is in a strong basket. The ba*kc t-hfuld be lined with excelsior or other Hiring material which will hold Its position. about an Inch thick: then each egg should be wrapped with excelsior, half an Inch thick, and carefully nested In the basket until all the egg* arc In; then they should be covered over with r.u Inch of excelsior and a cloth cover held on I* tacks pUKhn! Into tie rim of the basket, or sewed down by passing heavy string through the doth and through the basket benmtfc the rim. Such a jtackage Is strong am! do.a not jar the eggs enough to hurt them. . vrn whin quite roughly bundled. A basket with a strong, ujinght handle should In* used.
