BEGIN IN THE FALL.
The Best Time to Start in the Raising Of
Poultry.


The best time to begin with poultry
is in the fall. If the spring of theyear
is selected there will be too much
hurry, and it will be dificult to secure
the proper stock. In the fall the choice
of birds and the securing of fowls is
within the reach of ALL It is an i'm
portant matter to select hens that are
in good health, and which if not pure
bred are ut least well bred It is diff
cult to find two hens alike, and there
is always a large number of fowls on
hand at this season and later on than
in the spring.
At least five hundred hens should be
necessary in order to make business
of poultry, and when we use the term
business we mean the poultryman has
decided to depend upon a certain num-
ber of hens to secure sufficient profit
to amply repay him for his labor and
care.
In the spring the cost of 200 hens
would be from 500 to 5000 greater
than in the summer. The reason for
this difference is that in the spring
Gu0 sur EpluS SGOCk Is al SOld anu DuG
few fowls can be spared, while in the
summer season the reverse is the case.
We would not advise a beginner to
invest entirely in pure bred stock-not
that we do not advise the use of pure
| bred fowls-because the cost is too
great. He should, however, aim to Sc
cure hens of the best classes, or that
show the effect of the infusion of good
blood. When the spring arrives and
the pullets for the following year are
to be raised, it is cheaper to procure
pure bred males and by such means
grade up the stock to required pur-
poses.
| We believe, however, that the best
results are obtained by pure breeds,
but if there is to be a beginning with
a limited capital. the easiest and most
practical way is to begin with good
hens secured from whatever sources
possible, and improve every season by
the use of pure bred males.
Our object in calling attention to
this matter is to not overlook the fact
that during the summer and the fall
hens can be produced of better quality
and at less cost than at any other
time.-Mirror and Farmer.

HERE AND THERE.

The Hessian fly is so called because
it was supposed to have been brought
from Germany during the revolutionary
war in wheat imported for the use OF
the Hessian mercenaries in the British
army. 1t has travelled west at the rate
of Is or 20 miles year.
The distillation of essential oils
from various species of plants, such as
lavender, thyme, fennel, rosmarine,
etc, is quite profitable in southeastern
France. The country is here very arid
and sterile, and these humblest OF
plants are, by industry and careful
management, made to give prosperity
to large number Of people Here is
hint to owners of worn-Out lands.
DO not underestimate the value
of the wood ashes produced on the
farm this winter, and so let them goto
waste. They are valuable in the gar
den, and for corn and wheat as well,
and the value of a liberal application
of them will be seen for years. Keep
covered until you are ready to apply
them to the land, so they do not leach.
An experienced butter maker
claims that if the churn is first scalded
with hot water, then rinsed with cold
water, the cream will not pack into
the corners or crevices, nor adhere to
the sides. Then after the churning
and the withdrawal of butter and the
buttermilk reverse this process-that
is, first thoroughly rinse with cold wa
ter and then scald with hot water, and
the operation is complete.
Young trees that have their roots
bruised, or injured in any manner
should be carefully trimmed, cutting
away the injured roots, and also short
ening the branches to correspond with
the loss of roots. The trees may be
planted at any time during the fall or
spring. The use of mulch around
each tree during the winter will aid IN
protecting them against sudden
changes of temperature.
Mulch the Strawberries and keep
them covered until spring, so as topre-

TWO CROPS IN ONE YEAR.
Peas on Wheat Stubble and Of the Ground
Before Seed Time

Peas on Wheat Stubble and OFF the Ground
Before Seed Time.
The good farmer has always before
him the problem how he can make his
farm pay the needed revenue and at
the same time increase its fertility.
The farm must pay a revenue or it is
not worth owning. Its soil must be
growing richer or it lis getting poorer
There is no standstill in nature. If the
farmer is wearing out his land he is
surely getting poorer, because he is
consuming his capital stock Then he
must raise crop that will yield rev.
enue, and leave the land richer than
when it was planted, or he must follow
fertilizing.
When [ was much younger farmer
l heard much talk among good farmers
about rotation of crops and letting land
rest and gather strength to produce an
other exhausting crop. We must re-
member that nature never rests. Her
laws work day and night, and on and
on forever, so far as we know So
that if we let land alone, that has in
it any vitality it will grow something
that will either enrich or impoverish.
When we harvest crop of wheat and
see nothing on the ground but the
stubble we know that crab grass,
foxtail, ragweed, Or some other
volunteer will spring up, none of
which are considered very fertilizing.
Soon after wheat harvest last summer
[ plowed a small piece of the stubble
land and after pulverizing planted
whippoorwill peas in drill rows two
feet apart. l used my two-row corn
planter, going over the rows twice to
make the peas thick and then rolled
the ground. They came up quick, and
as the weather was forcing they grew
with boom and soon shaded all the
ground.
Some man in Florida has lately writ
ten that shade was manure to Florida
soil. He could have truthfully said
the same with reference to soil any,
where, north or south. And this is so
whether the shade is from wheat straw,
cornstalks, forest leaves or any other
mere mulching material. But the
shade to the soil is much more fer
tilizing when this shade comes from a
growing plant that is engaged in gath.
ering fertility from the atmosphere
and subsoil and storing it for some sue
ceeding crop. Thus we see that plants
as well as folks sometimes live for the
good of others.
There is one other important condi.
tion that should be remembered. 1t is
that the soil, to receive the most benefit
from the shade, must be in the state OF
pulverization. Air is always circulat.
ing through and through pulverized
soil and depositing the much-needed
ammonia. All very leafy crops, such as
| clover, peas, tobacco aad the like sre
