CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
THE ORANGE JUDD FARMERS RE-
PORT FOR AUGUST.

The Condition of Corn on Aug. 1, Sc
Against sS.4 on July 1.-The Fig
ure Below the Average For "A Sc
ries of Years-A Decline in the
Condition of BarIey-A Decline of
Six Points in the Condition of
Spring Wheat.
Chicago, Aug. S-The August crop re-
port OF the Orange Judd Farmer, based
upon county returns from all the princi-
pal counties of the country, makes the
condition of the corn crop for Aug. /, 1914
against Ss.4 on July 1. This is below the
average for a series of years, and it has
been lower but once in recent years, in
the year of partial failure, 1894.
The low condition a month ago merely
reflected disappointment at the backward
condition of the plant; but the present fig
ure not only reflects this continued late
ness, but further positive damage to the
crop.
July was reasonably favorable east of
the Mississippi river, and the condition in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, advanced to a
point where moderate crop is indicated.
In Iowa and Missouri the crop of bar
ley held its own, while in Nebraska there
was a slight falling off. The severe de-
cline of the month was in Kansas, where
there was a drop of II points; in Texas
with a drop of 20 points and in Arkansas
of 10 points If the present growth of the
crop was normal, the present report might
be taken as indicating a crop of between
1900, 100000 and 100000 bushels, but in
seasons like this one the final rate of
yield is apt to be less than that indicated
by conditional reports, and an expectation
of over 100000 600 bushels must be based
upon entirely favorable weather cOndi-
tons during the rest of the season, with
exemption from frost for at least the
following days later than usual in the
more northern part of the belt.
The average condition of spring wheat
is S7.4, a decline during the month OF 6
points. South Dakota declines 10 points,
due to generally unfavorable conditions
during the month.
Minnesota declines points, the result
Of some rust and blight in some southern
counties. The northern part of the state
Is still in good promise.
In North Dakota the early promise is
we'll maintained. With favorable weather
for harvesting the crop should exceed
231 $50 bushels.
Threshing shows winter wheat yields
uniformly higher than expected.
Returns from nearly 1900 correspondents
giving neiShborhood results so far as de
veloped make a general average for the
breadth of 1916 bushels. Should the lat
ter thras hing confirm this earlier yield the
crop will equal 262 10000 bushels the
largest crop grown with the single ex-
ception of 1891. The quality of the crop is
remarkably high and very uniform.
The last report on oats makes the con-
dition a trihe lower than a month ago.
The average is 1854 indicating a crop ap-
proXimating 500 000,G00 bushels of fair quail
ity against 7H,00O,000 last year of very
inferior QUALITY.

Care of Brooder Chickens.

Perhaps we should say, care of the
brooder, for we find it more work,
says H. B. Greer in American Poultry
Journal, to take care of the brooder
and keep it fresh an clean
inside than we do in feeding and
watering the chickens.
One thing is very plain to us, and
we see it every time that we use a
brooder, and that is it does not pay
to put large number of little chick
ems in a brooder together, no matter
how large the latter may be. 1t is
better and cheaper to pay the price
of two breeders than to crowd rs to
100 chickens into one brooder.
Another thing, if the chickens are
not given small run where they
can get the sunshine after they are
two weeks old, either out in the yard
or an open shed, they will become
dwarfed and stunted in growth. A
large run is not necessary, but room
enough to give them good summing
fetal environments of the brOoder for
good part of the day.
If cleanliness is next to goodness in
the chicken business, it is certainly
the stepping stone to success with
brooder chickens. We clean our
brooders once every day, and some
times twice a day, and re-sand the
floors inside, and three times a week
renew the chaff or clover hull in the
part devoted to a miniature scratch
pen.

Crossing Ducks for Market.

Every attempt made to produce
choice ducks for market by crossing
the breeds has resulted in dissatis-
faction compared with the use of the
pure bred Pekin, says Farm and Fire
side. The Cayuga and Pekin cross is
an excellent one, but the black pin
feathers of the Cayuga make picking
more laborious Crosses of Rouens
and Pekins have not given any adj
vantages, and the same is true of the
Aylesbury and Pekin cross. The
cross of the Muscovy drake and Pekin
duck gives the fine market birds, but
the cross-bred birds are quite sterile,
their eggs not Matching. So far the
Pekin seems to hold it's ground as a
market duck against all competitors.
Ducks should be laying eggs at
this season of the year, and if prop
erly managed they will do much bet
ter than hens. Give them animal
food such as ground meat, at least

Growth of English Imports of Eggs

Fifty years ago the net annual i'm
than three eggs per unit of popula-
ton. So great has been the growth
of the trade that last year the supply
from abroad represented an allow
ance of forty foreign eggs for each
inhabitant. Up to 1870 about ninety
per cent. of the eggs imported yearly
into the U. K. were from French
ports. Now, however, Russia, Austria
and Italy are the original supply of
a large part of England's supply Of
foreign eggs, Denmark also occupy
ing a prominent position. The aver
into the U. K. last year was returned
at shade more than Is cents per doz-
en-. In 1913 the average import price
was placed at 1914 cents, in go 16
cents, in 80 a shade more than II
cents. In Russia, the production of
eggs for export has developed re-
marlIably during the past few years.
In 1880 the total number of eggs ex-
ported from that country was only
100000, while in 1895 it was
1,411 100000. Austria's foreign trade
in eggs has shown nearly equal
growth, both of these countries in
fact shipping large numbers of eggs
into Germany for consumption there.

once day, and also mess of
cut clover, scalded. They prefer soft
food, such as cooked turnips, thick
ened with equal parts of bran and
corn meal for them. If laying regu-
larly, give them a meal three times a
day. Keep the floor of their quarters
covered two inches deep with straw,
and also keep the quarters clean, as
ucks will not thrive on damp floors.

Young Chicks.

A word or two about youngsters
may not prove too late for use in
April. The first twenty-four hours of
a young chicks life are very impor-
tant ones. Especial care must then be
given to brooding, and he should
never be allowed to eat during that
period. Indeed, if he comes of
strong heavy stock forty-eight hour
fast is none too long for him to be-
gin life on. Keep him warm and
shielded and let his appetite grow. If
his mother is neglectful and given to
feed getting about too much, tie her
to her box or put her in a coop too
small for exercise. Keep charcoal and
gravel in reach of the youngsters
from their earliest days. Fresh vege-
tables should furnish the bulk of
their food during the first few weeks;
while corn-meal, by far the common,
est diet among inexperienced raisers,
can only be use with safety when the
chicks have large range to roam up
on. Even it is much less wholesome
than the fresh vegetables. Never
give the youngsters quite all they
want and feed them very frequently
Regularity in feeding is of the utmost
Importance too. Have your regular
hours for attending to it and keep
them promptly. Keep them in their
coops in the mornings until the dew
has dried from the grass. Warmth
and dryness are prime essentials in
giving the chicks hardy start in life
They need the fresh vegetation dur
ing their earliest weeks and should
be allowed ample opportunities to
roam among it-but not during the
early morning hours while it is still
wet with the dew. Let the hen have
them until her motherly Judgment
says it is time to turn them loose to
shift for themselves. Leave the wean-
ing entirely to her; it is on feature of
their raising which she understands
better than her owners. ROosts
should not be provided too early. One
of the last accomplishments of young
chickenhood should be to perch.
Keep them on the dry ground or floor
until they are almost grown, and
make it pleasant for them by a little
straw bedding. After the mother hen
forsakes them give them assistance
for day or two in finding their quar-
ters for the night, and they have then
reached that pleasing stage of their
career where they may be left to their
own devices. E. Helms.

sheep kept, and half the estimated
value of the dairy COWS of the coun-
try.
According to the United States CEN
sus the animal product, meat and
eggs, exceeds in value the cotton or
hog crop,and represents almost as
much money to the producer as the
wheat crop. In 1880 there were 1876
million fowls kept; in 1890 the num-
Der had increased to 2S6 million, and
in 1896 to 1873 million. In spite of this
rapid increase in poultry stock this
country does not now produce enough
poultry product for home consump-
ton. While few thousand dozen
eggs are exported annually, millions
of dozens Of eggs are imported from
Canada, China, Mexico and Japan.
During the last three years about
a million dollars worth of foreign
eggs have been brought into this
country. Our imports are ten times
greater than our exports. The i'm
ports for last September COG were
10000 dozen, compared with 16,S40
dozen for the same period the pre-
vious year, showing that the egg i'm
ports are increasing rapidly. There
is yet no over production. Where
prices are low it is due to unequal
distribution. The number of eggs
consumed per head of population is
fast increasing in this country, as
we'll as in Great Britain and Germany.
Besides our home market there is a
wide foreign market for eggs. Eng
land and Germany do not produce
sixty per cent. of the eggs they con-
sumo. They depend upon other
countries for their supply, and the
number of eggs. they import increases
every year. During 1895 the United
Kingdom imported daily an average
of four million dozen eggs (2O9 tons)
or paid out nearly $4,000 for eggs
each day. Although these were i'm
ported from over twenty foreign
countries the larger part of them
came from Russia. Eggs from
France reach English cities in better
condition than those produced in the
interior, while eggs from Australia
have been quoted in London as high
as fresh eggs from France.-Samuel
Cooper of Rhode Island Experiment
Station.
