EXPiHlNENCES OF A BEGINNE2 AT POULTRY RAISING la the "Poultry Raising" department ■ of the current Irene of Farm and Fireaide, the national iarin paper published at Springfield. Ohio.-* contributor teUa In part a« fnlloy- his .-rperieDcea as a I beginner at poultry raising: "The first of November. 1813. I bought 24. White Leghorn hens and 22 ' of the larger breeds, for motbere. "The first eggs were sold December 6th. As I write. September 20. 1814, I have sold 1761-2 dozen eggs and received therefor $41 "T set 35 dozen 1-eghorn eggs from which -were hatched 300 chick-. No recoA was kept of the eggs eaten, but a close estimate shows that not far from 20 dozen were thus used, making a total of 231 dozen eggs produced. The large hens had but little time to lav. as we kept them busy hatching and brooding. "At the end of -tune I had 200 chicks started in good thriving condition. Then three tramp oats and a skunk got busy, and when I got them exterminated I had only 65 chicks left. I th-n 1 t'injF hens again and hatched '■ 70 chicks and 3 dozen Runner ducks. "My income from eggs and broilers N sold and young stock on hand up to 1 \ Septemb r 20. 1814. was $111. The ! v cash outlay to that date for feed was $35. leaving a balance of $76 for labor : and interest on the investment in the | hens at the start. "Wheat was purchased at 80c and 1 1 onto at 50 cents per bushel. A good j cany corrots were fed for green feed, j These cost $5 per ton. The yards were I ' never empty of green chopped grass ••r j ' some other green stuff, for I have • learned that grain is not the only teed i necessary to produce results with lay- j ing hens. I keep all our chickens. | young and old. in parks or yards of 50 by 100 feet, well littered with straw. , and sow the grain fed in this straw in j ; fair weather. One pint of oats is fci in , , the morning and a pint of wheat at ' , night to each 12 hens. | . "Crushed quartz rock is kept belr.-e the chickens all the time, also plenty ' of charcoal and lime. The hens luid no : byster shell and no meat oxc-ot now ' •lid then a jaek rabbit which 1 had I killed. 1 shall feed both oyster shell | and meat scrap next season. f shall j ( also try an incubator next spring, ad", dispose of the large hens, keening only], nd Runner* ducks."

WATCH FOR THE CERTIFIED SACKS , Tlie .farmers of New Jersey. .Mid- j die Atlantic States, and the South- j' eru States are warned by the De-i partment of Agriculture to see that I seed potatoes they buy hoar the white label of the Potato Inspect-'' tion Service of this department. ' This lahel is placed on eauli container and certifies that the potatoes have been exa •••' by Feder- 1 al inspectors and found five front 1 powdery web. that they wengrown on farms free from, and 1 have not in attv way bren exposed to this disease. They are warned against the use ' of table potatoes for planting purposes. as these even though they do." not show the disease, may have 1 been exposed to powdery scab. ' Table potatoes are usually shipped from. Maine in httlk an-1 the ear ies a blue certification tag. ' while seed potatoes are iu sacks or other eontaines of a capacity not to exceed 180 pouitds. and each ' container is separately certified. | Some dealers have lieett buying | ' table stock and selling it for seed, i The seed men are not violating any . . law. but they are exposing their | customers to the risk of the intro- • ' "igerous disease and j , a (imirantinc should the powdery j | sc-ah he int-odtieed. t The white seed certificate relates , | only to freedom from powdery { | '"it potatoes so certified are ' likely to he of better quality and [ ( . less mixed than table-stock pota- 1 1 toes. The so only of certified seed t potatoes in Maine is ample, and the * price this yea»- is low. so that there ( is no excuse for* planting table- . stock potatoes. Ij The department also states that ' i the rigid inspection and other pre- 1 j cautions thrown around certified I " seed stock from quarantined dis- 1 1 tricts make such stock as safe as • potatoes from non-infected areas. 1 and often better selected.

TOBACCO AND EDUCATION l Figures which seem to he reli- ; able indicate that the tobacco bill > . in this country is almost as great < I ns the hill for public education; , that the hill for candy - is one- : L j fourth as great; that the bill for • automobiles is one-half as great. I How much is spent in the aggrc- ■ • gate for auiuseincnts — moving pic- ■ ture shows, vaudeville, the thea : . tre. baseball — no one knows. But i I how far would the bill for these . amusements fall short of the bill ■ for education? Would it? It 1 , costs the National Government ' , more than .$2000 a' day to maintain : the battleship New Jersey. The report for 1913 of the Com- 1 , missioner of Education contains ! | the following: , "The schools of the State enroll- ' . ed lost year more tlign half a mil- 1 lion pupils in day and evening i , schools; this in in excess of onesixth of the population of the < ; State. This great number of pu- ' pils. equal to the total population , of New Jersey in 1852. are not only i supplied with books and apparatus for doing their work, but the pu- , pils are housed, in the main, in , safe, comfortable and convenient , school buildings. They are taught | by a fine body of men and-women, . nearly 14.000 in number. The ex- 1 penses in the aggregate must he 1 [large for the school is by far the I I ereatest enterprise in mere magni1 tnde in which the State is engaged, j to say nothing of other and sub- , vt-ntial reasons why it is the great 1 .1 enterprise in the State." lj SCHOOL BUILDINGS I "In tin- 472 school districts of | ' the 21 counties of the State there , ere 2.111 buildings. (2.031 owned I by the districts and SO rented ) " jnsed for public school purposes, [carrying an appraised valuation of j *53.044.978.95. Of these 869 have • one elass room. 300 have two cl is« I looms. 94 have three class room-. ' j 1 70 have four class rooms, and 67'8 1'i.v five or more class rooms. " Eight hundred of the one room buildings arc located in either the | i peit country or the small villages «»n-l are known as "one -room rural l-'-ltools." In many of these the con- ! itions have "been neither suitable I i-or hygienic for the large number i - f pupils obliged to attend them | from five to six hours each school '[•'ay. The heat was furnished by j.- stove located in the middle of the "won. There was no ventilation i titer that that received from open , windows and doors. The punils i< cc often obliged to sit in nnad- ,[ instable double desks, many of • i hieli were too large for the small children. The light was sometimes ; i dmitted from tJ- front of the "loin as well a- from the other . ! three sides. Tin- outhouses ton i often 4»yre such in name, with no i - • i i. n for tin- protection of the morals and deeencv of the pupils. "Similar eom'itions have existed in main of the three and four i class room building of the older 1 type. Snmctim.n tin- narrow wood---n stairways wen- without inter- j 'mediate landings I'aitit and re- ! 'pair were an unknown qiiantitv. | ; of the larger buildings in the ' .towns and cities contained danc-r ! mis fin" hazards which imperiled | the lives Of tile puiiils." i So far as Cap- May fount v is. concerned, all of these conditions jliave la-en made right excepting in 'two districts. | AN EDUCATION FROM A NICKEL j A young girl who lived in Mississippi asked her brother to give the money to go to college. He told her he could not afford it. and I tossing her a nickel, added. "Un- . you can go on that." The plucky girl took the five . cent piece and bought some etSlico. ; I from which she made a bonnet j that site sold for twenty-five cents. this money she lniught more i calico, and made more bonnets. • After she had made several dollars • in this way. she determined to [raise potatoes. She did all the work ;in the field except the plowing. [The venture was.a success, and she enough money to start at : school. She did not stop work, [ however, and it is not surprising I that a girl of so much determination was able to borrow enough | money to supplement what she made. She was graduated with honor from the State college for women, attended a medical school, still earning all her expenses, got her degree, and is now a successful practicing physician in a large town in the South: and it all began with a nickel!
