CrOnS for Poultry.

Almost every poultry raiser has more
or less land upon which crops may be
grown that are especially liked by poul-
try. Obviously, the providing of suit
able food in variety is one of the i'm
portant businesses of the poultry
keeper; hence a few words upon that
subject Round turnips are a crop that
can be sown at any time, almost in Au-
gust, and yet be reasonably certain of
producing good yield Turn over
piece of run-out" sod, harrow in
dressing of fine, rotted manure, and
drill in seed in rows two or three feet
apart, thinning plants as soon as they
appear above the ground, so they will
stand about three inches apart in the
row. Under such cultivation the tur-
nip will yield immensely of smooth,
handsome roots; whereas, when sown
broadcast, as is common, plants are not
thinned sufficiently, and there are many
small, inferior roots produced. Fowls
like turnips, either boiled or raw, and
this root should form the basis of the
daily mash through the winter. So the
poultryman wants lots OF turnips, and
can hardly raise too many of them, as
they are quite easily grown and of easy
cultivation.
Cabbage is another crop the hens ad-
mire. The tender, succulent leaves of
the cabbage afford great delicacy to
biddy in the winter season, when there
is little choice of green food. Cabbage
plants may be set out in rich soil quite
late in the season, and, even if they do
not head up, they will make many large
leaves that answer every purpose of
fowl-feeding. Manure land for cab
bage with well-rotted barnyard manure,
or else use fish and unleached wood
ashes. Set plants two and one-half
feet apart in either direction, and use a
horseshoe for cultivation, thus mini.
MIXING cost of growing the crop. Late
in the fall, store the cabbage in cool
cellars or out-of-door pits, where they
will be of easy access when needed for
poultry feeding.
The fine clover rowen that springs
up as second crop on our meadows
and mown lands should be considered
as one of the crops to be especially
cared for with view of feeding it to
poultry. Care is to be taken to cure it
well, as late autumn weather is often
unfavorable for properly drying any
grass or herb After the clover has be-
come wilted, rake up and put in small
cocks before the leaves have time to
dry and fall off; cover these cocks with
caps, if you have any of those excellent
articles, and after one night out the
cocks may be shaken out and then
drawn into the barn. When there is
but little second crop, it may be taken
at once to the barn and spread upon
poles in the loft, where it may take its
time in curing, out of reach of any per-
nicious influence from rain or dew.
This rowen is of great use all winter.
Chop it up, boil it and mix with grain,
and it gives the poultry great variety.

Clipped and Condensed.

REMEMBER that cabbages cannot be
cultivated too often. Put coat of
fine barnyard scrapings or commercial
fertilizer on the patch and work it into
the soil as the cultivation proceeds.
This will help the plants when they are
ready to head up.
THE principal reason for regular and
thorough grooming is that the health
of the horse requires that the pores of
the skin be kept open by removing the
dust and secretions, and that the mus
Giles be rubbed, which would not other
wise be well exercised.
IT may not be generally known that
the common black butter bean will bear
continuously through the season if the
pods are all picked as soon as they are
large enough to use. If any are al
lowed to ripen, the plant has fulfilled
it's mission and will die.
The apple trees in many sections
are loaded down with fruit this season.
To insure salable crop, the fruit
should be thinned out. AS the apples
become larger there is liability of the
limbs of the trees being broken off if
the fruit is not reduced in trimming.
THERE may be overproduction in
every grade of farm stock excepting
draft horses, and these buyers are
eagerly hunting. There is top price
or those weighing 1900 or more, for
the cities must have them, and have
them now. Why will farmers persist
in raising that which they cannot sell?
The younger pigs are, the more
profit there is in feeding them. 1t
costs double the amount to put pound
of gain on pig one year old than it
does to make the same increase on the
one six months old. Thus, the more
rapidly they can be forced forward
from the start the greater will be the
profit.
INDIA is formidable rival in the
wheat market. Its average product for
the last five years is about 27 100000
bushels, of which about one seventh is
exported. The cultivated area is con-
tinually extended in the Punjab, Ben
gal and the northwestern provinces.
India's competition is a fact that we
dare not ignore.

dition as a carbonate which induces it
to derive carbonic acid from any and
all sources, and in so doing it breaks up
the combinations of other substances in
the soil, and causes the building up or
formation of new compounds by the
disintegration of others, the chemical
action being such that many insoluble
substances are rendered soluble and a
greater supply of plant food is supplied
to crops.
"When lime is used on land that has
grown green crop, and which has
been recently turned under, the lime
imme diately induces chemical action,
especially with the enormous amount
of vegetable matter in a succulent or
green condition, forming numerous
salts, and thus Fastening decomposi-
ton. The action of lime on green ma
teral is too varied to enter into de-
tails, as the characteristics of the soil
and it's fertility are factors to be con-
sidered; but it is profitable to all farm
ers who grow green manurial crops to
apply lime, and it may also be added
that, where clover or grass crops are to
be seeded down this fall or next spring,
lime is special fertilizer and always
gives excellent results. Troy Times.

Lime and Green Crops.

The Philadelphia Record says: Cline
is applied to the soil to the best advan-
tage in the late summer or fall. Its
tendency is downward, hence it is ad-
visable to simply broadcast it over the
surface of the land that has been
plowed and allow the rains to carry it
down. The best results from lime are
obtained when piece of sod land is
turned under, the lime and green ma
terial making combination superior
to either alone. Lime cannot take the
place of commercial fertilizers, but, as
it is 80 cheap and easily obtained, it
should be used freely on all farms and
upon both clay and sandy soils, owing
to its chemical and mechanical effect
on land. II is also plant food, enter
ing into the structure of all plants,
and exists to certain extent in eyery
kind of SOIL. 1t is partly deficient on
sandy soils, upon which no application
of lime has been made, if such soils
have been used for the production of
crops for several years, especially if the
soils are porous and easily leached.
"Lime, as it comes from limestone, ia

the carbonic acid is then driven off.
leaving the caustic lime (oxide of cal
cium). In this condition it has an
affinity for moisture, combining with
water to form hydrate of lime, which is

condition. 1t is the effort on the part
OF the lime to return to it's original con-

Green Summer Crops,

AS corn need not fully mature it's
seed when intended as fodder or for the
silo, it is crop that may now be made
specially, while buckwheat or millet
may be grown for blowing under, but
it will pay any farmer to grow late
crop of corn for fodder, which may be
drilled in rows and cut when the ears
are just beginning to glaze. Peas are
broadcasted in Canada and plowed un.

but the cost of seed is an obstacle to
such methods in this section. The
blowing under of green crop, and the
land lined Immediately after, will be

Feeding TallOw to Dairy Cows.

The results of many experiments in
feeding fats and oils to dairy cows have
proved that the composition of the
milk depends on the nature of the
cow, and that any noticed change in
the fat or other components of the
milk is merely temporary one, due to
the unusual food. Thus linseed, cot.
tonseed, rape, peanut, cocoanut, palm
and oieo oils and stearine have been
successfully fed to cows with no in
crease in the yield OF butter. Lately it
has been claimed that daily ration of
tallow would increase the fat in the
milk. But Professor H. H. Wing OBJ.

Cabbage Worms,

Professor Osborne of the Iowa Agri-
cultural College, who is regarded as
one of our best-informed entomolo-
gists, has given condensed review OF
some important facts of interest to cab
bage growers: For the destruction of
the Larvae there are two effective meth
dds. One is the use of pyrethrum
busted upon the plants so as to come
in contact with the Larvae. 1t can be
used, even after the cabbage heads
have been formed, without any thought
of danger. 1t is, however, rather ex.
pensive, costing about sixty cents per
pound.
Professor Gillette reported some ex-
periments with paris green for the cab
bage worm. He made careful esti-
mate of the amount that could possibly
be received upon single head, and
concluded that it would be necessary to
eat at least thirty cabbages at single
meal in order to geta poisonous dose of
the paris green. Inasmuch, also, as
the poison would be received upon the
outer leaves, and, if washed down by
rains, would be carried out at the base
of the leaves and not enter the interior
of the heads, and as these outer leaves
are removed before using the heads, it
is practically impossible for any of the
poison to be retained 80 as to endanger
persons eating the cabbage. Still the
application may be much more effectual
if applied before the cabbages have
commenced to head or while the heads
are still undeveloped, so that in prac
tice there will be no occasion whatever
to make the application after the heads
have become formed or within a con-
siderable time of the use of heads.
In the relation to spreading through
neighborhoods the parasites of the cab
bage worm, Professor Osborne says
that these parasites are likely to be
common in most neighborhoods, and
that, while they can be sent out, it
would not unlikely be to sections where
they were already more or less effective
in reducing their numbers.-Exchange.
