ABOUT EGG FARMING.
Three Elements Which Are Abs
IuteIy Essential to Success.

Three Elements Which Are AbsO.
Iutely Essential to Success.
In these days of specialties farm
ing is much more divided than former
ly; 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. The chief cause of
failure with those who have not been
successful has been that they SEEM
ingly 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 1000 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 focls; the second is
economical housing; the third, facili-
ties for handling and cheaply caring
for the fiocls. The focks 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. It viii be much cheaper to
limit the range of the fiocks 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 COLI
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. Hall of the 1e0-acre
farm is used as 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 stills 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 il
plowed before the houses are moved.
The object of this is to keep the houses
healthy with fresh soil as an absorbent
of the droppings, which renders the cir
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

How to Make Them as Beautiful "a
They Should BE.
Many women with pretty hands are
constantly annoyed by the rough APP
pearance' of their finger nails, caused
by the fact that they break and split
The possessor of such nails should
cut them with well-sharpened mani
cure scissors, and the nail should never
be cut or f1ed unless the fingers have
first been soaked in warm water. The
brittlenesss may sometimes be fessehpseda
by rubbing almond oil the ry99ughly fpto
the nail and finger ends pr retiring at
night. A pair Of old kid gloves must
then be pulled on.
The housekeeper whose nails break
easily should never stir anything on
the hot range without first slipping on
a loose glove, as the dry heat from the
fire will make her nails more brittle
than ever.
A teaspoonful of lemon juice in a
cupful Of tepid water whitens and Sup
pies the nails and removes ali grease
and dirt, making them more easy to
polish. This should ibe used every
morning, and by dabbling the fingers
q few moments it is possible t9 make
the nails perfectly clean and tra M p

CONCERNING Alfalfa.

Alfalfa should be cut every time il
Blossoms unless a seed crop is desired,
and if used for soiling on field prop
erly proportioned to the number of ami
mails to be fed q regular succession of
cuttings of green fodder may be OBJ
tanned. If fed in large quantities, it
should be allowed to wilt, as without
this precaution it is liable to cause
bloat. Ii is not safe for pasturage of
cattle and sheep for the same reason,
but horses and pigs are not likely to be
injured. Alfalfa silage is said to have
disagreeable odor and taste. 1t is
readily eaten by cattle and compares
well 1n composition with clover silage.
1t has not beep tested at the station, as
the green forage h.aas been in too great
demand.
The hay is very nutritious, but re-
quires care and favorable weather for
making. az the leaves are easily lost
when the hay is too dry, and with the
foliage disappears a large part of the
valuable ingredients of the crop. Great
deterioration takes place if the curing
hay is exposed to rain. The stored prod
uct does not shed water well and if put
up damp is subject to mildew and mold.

CUTTING HAY WITH BINDER.
Progressive New York Farmers Find Little
to Commend the Practice.

Progressive New York Farmers Find Little
to Commend the Practice.
There are farmers who cut their tim
othy hay with binders and report good
results. According to correspondence in
the columns of The Rural New Yorker,
there is little to commend the practice.
A farmer writing from Schuyler coun-
ty, N. Y, says:
/ have never used my binder for cut
ting timothy hay. can see no advan-
tage except III the way OF storage. 1t
seems to me that the outside of the bum
dies must he weather beaten before the
inside would be cured enough to keep
when packed in the NOW. One Of my
neighbors used his binder for cutting
ripe timothy hay for seed, and claims
that it was a very successful way Of
handling this crop.
J. 6. Woodward of western New York
writes:
I have never seen binder that would
cut close enough to the ground to get
all the grass. like to cut timothy not
more than two inches from the ground.
The stalks OF timothy shrink very much
in curing, and unless bound very tight
~ the bundles would "spill out" when
being handled If bound sufficiently
tight, the green grass would take long
time to dry out, and the outside would
suffer from weathering before the in
side was fit TO put in the NOW. like
to cut timothy fer hay, if for home
feeding, " hen just out Of the first
bloom. Even a little before does no
harm. When cut at this period, it con-
tains so much moisture that think it
would be Il slow, expensive process to
get it well cured. 1t is possible, If
allowed to stund, as many practice
when expecting to sell the hay, until
nearly ripe before cutting, and it had
but little bettom," that it might be
cut and Lcund and made into fair hay,
but even then the expense of Irvine for
tying the bundles would be too much
to make tie practice eommendable.
like to pat timothy, when thor
cughly wilted, into good sized cocks,
and let it do most of its curing while in
these cocks, as hay cut green and SO
cured will be greener, brighter, sweeter
and more palatable and digestible than
that allowed to get more mature before
cutting l am aware that the weight of
hay cut from the same ground, when
cut SO early, will be less than when
standing to mature stage, and as the
market calls for this ripper hay it il pol
icy to let it stand when to be sold, but
when to be put into the "home market"
fed on the farm-the net result in
growing stock is in favor of early cut
ting.

excellent milk COWS, attaining 5000
pounds of milk with up to 90 per cent

The COWS readily put on flesh when
their utility at the pail ceases, yet we
have many good cows 10 years old and

no milk to sell, but they live on their

young stock too. The oxen of this breed
are famous for their working powers,
docility, endurance and rapid gait. At
Is months old the steers are broken to
work, at years old they are capable
of continued hard labor, at years old
they are sold to be taken to the eastern
provinces, where hundreds of thousands
of them are employed in the cultivation
of the sugar beet, afterward to be fat
tened on the beet refuse. The price of a
yoke of 3-year-olds to weigh $500
pounds is 1926. In southern Germany
the bulk of farmers cannot think of
breeding any other COW but one that

produce heavy calf and later on sell
to the butcher at good price.
Importation of Simmenthal will be
slow, owing to the heavy home demand,
which is greatly in excess of the supply
at very high prices. The advisability of
crossing this breed with the Jersey is
questionable The favorite color is fawn
or white, with reddish yellow, large
blotches; head, feet and tail white,
horns and hoofs yellow. Any black
spot on the flesh of the nose or any
black hair on any part of the body
throws the animal out of the breed
The best opportunities to buy this breed
are the animal markets in September at
Thun in Switzerland, and Radolfyell
in the adjoining Baden, both exclusive

The old method, and it is good
method, is to dig deep trenches and ma
nure them heavily, but Rural New
Yorker does not regard it as the most
economical way, but suggests blowing
the land a foot deep and then barrow
ing 1t. Next broadcast manure, more or
Jess in quantity as desired, and pillow q
trench by running the pillow both ways.
Now set the asparagus roots not less
than two feet by four feet apart. After
this, annual dressings Of manure or fer
tilizer will serve every purpose, and the
yield will be as large as If deep trenches
were, according to the old way, filed
with manure.
