be recommended from the fact that it
occupies no floor room and being up
from the floor the fowls cannot get in
A. with their feet, thus soiling and
wasting the food. A trough five inches
deep and five feet long will accommo-
date 10 fowls. For large flock several
small troughs are better than one large

IL from one end 10 the other. AS soon
as the fowls are through eating the
trough should be swept out. Once n
week il should be washed with hot
water. Many bowel diseases may be
traced to the filth eaten in the soft food.
1t is impossible for fowls TO pick up

swallowing the adhering filth.-orange

will prompt fowls TO seek tie highest

no injury from getting on and off will
occur and the fowls will not crowd one

The following arrangement is n con-
vcnient one; Make n tight platform n

give a step for the fowls in going on

able and satisfactory.
In the poultry business, as in any
other branch of farm economy, the
standard quality must be maintained
by proper selection, crossing, mating
of the best specimens, etc. If any
ideal type of hen is found or a male
bird IL is always desirable TO make
them as near as possible the founda-
ton OF the flock. which not only raises
the standard, but brings the flock up
10 that very desirable quality OF uni
formity of standard which makes IA
nous the focks and herds OF the various
roted breeders OF domestic animals.
Such fowls in the hands of the poultry
raiser should be kept as long as they
ore productive. The average farmer
may say that the few chickens he keeps
will make but little difference in the end,
let the care be what IL may This Is not
good business course 10 pursue, for the
reason that the flock may be ever so
small. there is possible loss or profit
to the proprietor, and whichever it may
be IL will be set down as guide in de-
Gliding what the results will be In other
branches of husbandry on the same

MOISTURE or SOIL.
How 90 Preserve IL by Means OF Jn-
dfefous Narrowing.


Narrowing TO save moisture 10 thus
treated in bulletin No. 100 of the New
York experiment station. "The har-
row, besides pulverizing and fining the
soil for the seed bed, is most efficient
in furnishing soil mulch. The
spring-tooth harrow is in reality Gull
tivator and it's action is similar to that
of the cultivator. When used as an in
strument TO conserve moisture, the
teeth should penetrate TO the depth OF
about three inches, and TO produce the
best effect the ridges left by 10 should
be leveled OFT by a smoother which can
now be purchased as an attachment to
the harrow. The tillage of orchards
by the harrow is now practiced extern
sively, and nothing short OF irrigation
will so nearly meet the demands of trees
for moisture. particularly upon the
heavier soils. A harrow having plow-
like action OF its blades serves TO pull
verize the surface soil. 10 spread the
loose mulch evenly, and IL leaves a most
excellent seed bed. The cutaway or
disc harrow may be beneficial or OF
absolute injury. IL the discs are so
set that they cover but n portion of
the surface of the mulch they leave
a ridge exposed TO the action of the
wind and sun and the rate Of evapora-
ton is greatly increased. The disc
should be set at such an angle that the
whole surface shall be stirred or COW
cred. Their chief value lies In their
cutting and pulverizing action on clay
soils, but as conservers of moisture
they are inferior to the harrow with
plow-like action or the spring tooth.
Soils which need the disc narrower
should generally be gone over again
with some shallower tool. The mel
lower the soil the lighter should be the
work done by the harrow. On most
heavy orchard soils il will be found
necessary to use the heavy tools like
the spring-tooth and disc harrows in
the spring, but il the land is properly
handled IL should be in such condition
as to allow the use Of n spike-tooth or
smoothing harrow during summer.
This light summer narrowing should
be sufficient to keep down the weeds
and it preserves the soil mulch in most
excellent condition. With such tool
and on land in good filth a man can
harrow ten or more acres a day"

FLOWING IN SPRING.
Deepening OLD Ground should Al
ways lie Done Gradually.

Deepening OLD Ground should Al
ways lie Done Gradually.
Good crops are dependent upon the
blowing being done well. As it is rather
slow, heavy work, and in the spring is
usually hard on teams, IL is always an
item TO lessen the amount to be done as
much as possible. If the ground is well
plowed in good season under ordinary
conditions il is comparatively an easy
matter TO get the seeding done i'm good
season. But it is important that the
work be done thorough. There should
be no cutting and covering, nor should
there be any sldps. If stone or root
throws the pillow out, the team should
be stopped and backed up and the fur
row caught again.
With all spring crops it is an item to
stir the soil thoroughly and reasonably
deep. One of the essential conditions in
securing n good growth and yield is TO
have the soil in n fine filth when the
planting is done, and thorough blowing
is great aid in getting the soil in
this condition.
In order TO lessen the work of the
cost of the blowing in many cases, IL
will be found economical TO use a some
what larger plow-one that turns
furrow IL or l6 inches in preference to
one that turns only 10 or IL. With
large pillow and three good horses one
man will be able 10 do not only more
work, but better work.
1t Is a good plan 10 take every OPP
portunity TO pillow. Sod land can be
plowed when fallow land would be too
wet. II Is an exceptional case after
this, when it can be considered good
economy TO pillow old land when IL is too
wet TO work readily into good filth.
While deep stirring of the soil is
best--giving not only better yield,
Int lessening the risk of failure-still,
Il the blowing is delayed until spring
IL should be done very little deeper
than the land has been plowed before.
as bringing up to the surface of any
great amount OF fresh subsoil will prove
more or less detrimental. Deepening
old ground by blowing should nearly
always be done gradually.-St Louis
Republic.

Use the farm for poultry by giving
the flocks plenty of room, and work with
a view to making the hens pay, the same
as Is done for the COWS, and the results
will be satisfactory. Fifty hens on one
ncre could give at least a clear profit
OF one dollar hen, or fifty dollars to the
acre, and the cost for shelter will he less
than for larger stock. The fact that 30
few know how to keep large iloclSs for
profit is proof that farmers have all
along neglected poultry, giving the hens
on the farm but little notice. yet on the
poorest farms poultry can be made a
speciality. There are good markets for

In every section Of this country there IL
more or less land lying idle and bringing the
owner but little in the way of revenue. As
the country gradually becomes more thick
iy settled, taxes on real estate grow high
er and the burden from carrying unproduc-
ing or waste land more irksome. IL is good
business to make every foot of land yield
something TO help bear its share of the ex-
penses OF the farm. This may be done in
several ways. That land which Is too wet
for the piow may be ditched or tile drained,
and thus be brought under cultivation and
production. A more difficult task will be-
encountered, however, IN clearing up tim
