LIME AS A FERTILIZER.

Lime may be used as fertilizer in three
forms. In the form of quick lime, or fresh
burned, Stacked lime, it has been used ex-
tensively to bring out the productiveness OF
the soil, and generally with good results.
Agricultural chemists were for many years
troubled to account tor the effects OF lime
on soils. The very small per ceat. of lime
found in the ash of the crops cultivated,
and the presence of lime in almost all soils,
in quantity sufficient to supply this demand,
rendered the problem one of difficult sou-

Having seen in your paper OF April End,
an article on tHbers and roots, will give
you my experience in raising mangle wur-
zels last year. 1t was not good Year tor
root crops in this neighborIlood, being too
wet in the early part Of the summer, but
we raised on piece of ground 250 icet in
length by IS feet in width as measured this
morning by the same man that helped
weigh them, fifteen tons ninety pounds OF
good, sound manggle wurzels. They wee
drilled in rows two feet six inches apart and
left standing from twelve to fifteen inches
apart in the rows. We had more roots
on other parts of the farm, but did not
measure the ground or weigh the roots. 1
have been raising mangles and sugar beets
for few years on small scale, but in
tend to increase the size OF the scale every
year. Our sheep had no corn this winter;
nothing but roots and a little hay until this
month. Our roots We're used up about the
last of March. Our sheep have wintered
finely. They are pure Cotswold>, and we
would be willing TO show them against amy

These figures are worth looking at BY
those interested in poultry keeping. 1t will
be observed that the net profit is nearly four
dollars for each hen kept. Ii half that
profit could be realized, it would pay as well
us anything on the farm.
In order to make the raising of chickens
profitable, they must be hatched early in
the spring, and then fed well-about all
they will eat-to keep them growing fast
rs possible all the time, so as to send them
to market early and secure fancy price for
them. When chickens can be got ready for
the market in September, and twenty to
twenty-five cents per pound can be obtained
for them, there is profit in raising them.
even though all the food for them is pur-
chased. BY having warm quarters for the
hens in winter, SO as to obtain good sup
ply of eggs for sale at high prices, and by
raising early chickens, feeding well and
marketing early, poultry keeping can be
made profitable. Poultry raising affords an
opportunity for boys and girls to make

PROFITABLE POULTRY KEEPING.

The general suspension OF laying. by the
the hens, during the cold weather this win
ter, mas shown the effect which cold has up
on them. Hens will not lay in cold wealth
er. unless they are kept warm, and have ac-
cess to sunshine. Yet, unless they can be
made to lay in cold weather. the profits
from keeping them will be greatly dimin-
ished. The experience of the past winter
should be sufficient to make it plain to all
that warm quarters must be provided for
tie hens, in order to atlain the highest de-
gree q success. Hen houses made with
single walls do not keep the hens warm.
There should be double walls of iointea
boards, and the space between filled with
saWdust, shavmgs, ,pent tan, or something
OF the kind. Then by having the house well
banked, TO keep The wind from blowing un-
der, the walls resting OIL 4 small ditch filled
with small stones, to keep the earth floor
drained, and the south ride covered largely
with glass to admit plenty of sunshine, the
hens may be expected to lay, provided the
food is suitable.
That there is profit in keeping hens when
eggs sell for from twenty to thirty cents
per dozen and the hens lay we'll, is admitted
by all who know anything about the mat
ter. A local paper in Rhode Island pub
fishes an interesting statement by G. ID.
McGetrick, of the profits during the year
for keeping 100 hens, including five ducks.
In January there were produced pa eggs;
in February, 1897; in March, 2,1O2; in
April, 1853: in May, 1850; in June, 1868;
in July, 1,1s5; in August, l 1,2O3; in Septem-
Der, LII: in October, 719; in November,
All in December, 425; total, 1886 eggs.
1t will be noticed that in January, Febru-
ary and March, the largest number of eggs
OF any months in the year were produced,
and eggs are generally high through these
months. The total number of eggs shows
that each hen produced little over eighty
two eggs each during the year, evidently
not very leige number. The average
price received for the eggs was twenty-five
cents per dozen. The ducks eggs were all
set under the hens. The following shows
the receipts and expenditures:
