FARM AND GARDEN.
ABOUT EGG FARMING.
Three EIements which Are Abso-
luteIy EssentfaI to Succezs

Three Elements which Are Abso-
IuteIy Essential to Success
In these days of speciafties farm
ing is much more divided than former
lyi we have fruit farming, dairy farm
ing. duck farming and egg farming
OF those who have attempted the pro-
duction of eggs on large scale few
have succeeded Thes chief cause of
failure with those who have not been
successful has been that they seem
Agly undertook it with the idea that
all they had to do was to multiply the
small flock with which they did well
by 100 or 1000 to get 100 or ], 900 times
as much profit. Multiplying the num-
Der OF hens is the very smallest factor
of success in egg farming.
The first element in successful egg
farming is small focks; the second is
economical housing; the third, facili-
ties for handling and cheaply caring
for the focks. The f1ocks being small,
each one can be cared for and treated
as though it was the only ONE on the
place The houses should be warm
and convenient for the birds and the
attendant 1t will be much cheaper to
limit the range of the ffocks by their
own free will instead of by fences or
runs. To do this, place the houses at
short intervals apart-ten or twelve
rods-and have them of different col
ors and with different surroundings, so
each may be readily distinguished by
its occupants when they wish to seek
quarters" at night or for laying
One of the most successful egg farm
ers in this country arranges the houses
of his hens along streets, ten rods apart,
through his farm. Half OF the 120-acre
farm is used as a hen yard one year and
the other half cultivated The next
year the houses are moved over to the
cultivated half and the hen yard used
for cropping purposes. The houses are
built on sills which form runners. and
a good team is used for moving them
in the spring. During the summer they
are moved their length every week; in
this way the houses are kept sweet, as
the soil where they are to stand is
plowed before the houses are moved
The object of this is to keep the houses
healthy with fresh soil as an absorbent

pure without the labor and expense of
daily cleaning, and also fixes the
fertilizing elements in the droppings
and enriches the soil for next years

stole his idea, and think improved
on it by erecting the sly on sled run

The Illustration shows the idea, which
is simple. The runners are two by eight

each end of sled, with two uprights for

they seldom lie on their Eouf1g, owing
to the ridged roof.

Experiments. with Potatoes.

Experiments conducted on Long Is
land by the New York station for the
purpose of comparing the relative prof.
its from using 1000 pounds and 1000
pounds of commercial fertilizer per
acre on potatoes showed the smaller
quantity to be the more profitable and
that in the single application of 1000
pounds per acre, p per cent more
nitrogen, 65 per cent more potash and
nearly five times as much phosphoric
acid were added TO the soil, as were
removed in two crops This indicates
that too heavy applications of improp-
erly mixed fertilizers may result in
serious loss on Long Island and else

they suffer loss.
Sheep husbandry is about the easiest

Improvements in the sheep breeding
business will help the northwest

HORSES DECREASING.
Good Animals VIII Be Hard to Get
Few Years Hence.

Good Animals VIII Be Hard to Get
Few Years Hence.
The large majority of farmers who
own horses seem to be quite anxious to
get rid of them, even at low prices
Where the farm is mortgaged. and the
horses can be spared better than any
thing else on the farm. this is ali right,
as it is better to lose the horse than the
home; but where it is not, we regard it
as very unwise and foolish, saws the
Kentucky Stock Farm. In a country
like ours. where one extreme follows
another, it is not wise to float with the
current OF follow the herd. From 1850
to 1890 we bred entirely too many
horses of all classes, and as a natural
consequence we are now suffering, ?
period of low prices Our next predica-
ment, if all signs do not fail. will be
great scarcity of horses. We base this
opinion, upon the fact that everybody
is selling and that very few are breed
ing. We do not believe there are more
than ten per cent. OF the horses being
bred in the United States to-day that
there were six years ago. This can
not possibly help but produce a great
shortage, and this shortage in supply
can have but one effect-namely, to in
crease the price. AS it takes five years
tn produce four-year-old colt, and as
the time cannot be abridged by any
possible means, and as the breeding be-
gan to fall off quite materially in 1893,
four years ago, the shortage is bound
to begin to manifest itself inside of the
next two years. The produce of mares
bred this season will not be four years
old, or ready for market, before 1902,
and between this and that time
we predict that there Will be much
greater shortage of horses of all kinds
than has been seen in this country for
many years.
