Poultry Notes.

NOteSs
Doubtless there Is q great advance
being made in the quality of the poul-
try of the country. A New York pub
lication says that the live poultry re-
ceived in the New York market from
the South has improved Is per cent
or more during the last two years. This
is very encouraging, for It means that
farmers are making more out of their
poultry than formerly. Two great
agencies have been at work to accom-
plish this result. First the agricul-
tural press. which has been constantly
giving precept upon precept in this
matter. Second. the. great number Of
breeders of fine fowls who have had
their advertisements constantly before
the people. 1t may be question some
times what GOOD the fancy breeder does
in the world. but We believe that he
has a great effect on the ideals to-
ward which We breed.
When the war Is over we may ex-
pect to find in Cuba a good market for
poultry and poultry products. That
island has been In the past q fairly
good consumer for such goods, but
with a new prosperity dawning We
may expect a very great enlargement:
Of the trade in that particular. Ulti-
nately we will see poultry growing
develop there on a considerable scale.
but it is doubtful II that occurs at an
early day. The people are too ignorant
now to know their opportunities. and
even after peace is assured long years
of education will be necessary along
poultry lines. For many years the
only competition we will have will be
that of the scrub Cuban hen. The
well-tc-do classes will desire for their
tables a better fowl than they have
and will buy the imported goods.
1t Is a good plan to keep some kind
of green stuff growing In the hen yard
for the fowls when they have to be
shut up. The trouble will be to get 1t
started, as the fowls will attack 1t as
soon as it comes above the ground.
This prevents the Plant from getting
a start. A single hen can do q great
deal of picking. and when the plants
are so small, she can do much to keep
them down level with the ground. II
a single hen can be 50 effective. one
can readily see that it is about impos-
sible to grow crop in a yard where
there is big flock. 1t VII. therefore
be necessary to partition OF the yard
so only half can be used at a time. or
alternate the place Of the yard. plant
ing outside of the fence and then en-
closing it. If there be enough ground
convenient this will be the best way TO
do. One should not keep more hess
than can be furnished with . green
pasture, either in or outside Of the
yard.

The TwO-Hundred Egg Hen.

Can We produce hens that will lay
200 eggs per annum? Without a doubt.
How? BY scientific breeding. as for
good butter cow or good mixer. as
for a trotting or high jumping horse.
Experiments have been made to in
crease the number of rows of corn Oh
the cob with success. The same meth
cd is applicable to poultry breeding.
We will start with hen that lays 120
eggs. Some of her chicks will lay, say,
$50 per year. From these we will
pick out layers, and SO on till 200 or
better are the result. At the same
time it is just as essential to breed
our males from prolific layers as it is
the females. In fact, it is more SO.
II We look after the breeding Of the
females only We will introduce on the
male side blood which is lacking in
proficiency and thus check every at
tempt ct progress. 1t is just as essen
tial that the male should be from
hen which laid IFS eggs and from
male that was bred from a hen that
laid $50 eggs as it is that the hen was
from one that laid ITS eggs and whose
mother laid $50 eggs.-Ex.

Ono Of the greatest mistakes made
By stockmen is the overstocking of the
pastures. The government has recent
" been Investigating the great stock
ranges Of the southwest and finds that
they have been overstocked to . point
where they are about ruined. This Is
particularly the case with Texas.
where the conditions are now 80 bad
that it is feared the injury is perma-
nent. The grasses and what serves for
sod are killed out and the land, II 1t
bears anything at all. will henceforth
bring forth only weeds. The report
says that 1t is not yet too late to re-
cover. provided the land be given rest
at once. The subject is a matter for
consideration other than on the
ranges. When our home pastures are
overstocked they become permanent
~ injured, at least until the land can
be put into a rotation and gradually
brought up again. With many pas
lures this is not practicable. q, fire.
Quently the ground is stumpy or 50
uneven that tillage is exceedingly dit
ficult.
When such a pasture becomes eaten
down to the very soil the sod must
necessarily become thin. II. through
. whole growing season, the blades Of
the grass are not allowed to develop.
the roots must become also thin and
weak. When like conditions exist year
by year is it any wonder that the sod
becomes SO thin that the total pro-
duct is meager? We must work for a
heavy and vigorous sod on our pas
lures. Overstocking is bad practice
and one that is being abandoned bJ
our most progressive farmers. 1t will
be found cheaper to have more grass
grown than can be eaten than to have
less grass grown than will satisfy the
herds.
There are two ways to save a pas
ture from this fate-to put so few cat
tie on it that they cannot eat all OF the
grass. or to feed additional rough fod-
der and grain in the barns before
turning them onto the pasture. Rich
ard Baker has said that his plan is to
have grass enough for two animals
and to turn only one on it. One would
suppose that this would mean a great
waste of material. but such is not the
fact, as land SO treated will probably
bring forth twice as much as If treated
the other way, and besides the cattle
will always be in good condition.
Inspect Watering Places.-In the
pastures the principal drinking places
should be carefully examined: first, to
protect the source CT supply il it be
liable to treading by the stock: sec
ondly, to remove the accumulations of
mud. if by so doing the capacity of the
pond can be thereby increased: and.
thirdly, to protect the whole supply,
as far as possible. from that foulins
which is bound to go on if the cattle
can obtain free access to the water.
and which is never felt more than
when the water is scanty. 1t will be
understood by the thoughtful reader
that the terrors of dry summer and
a deficiency of water may be allev;ated
to certain extent by careful manage
ment. but no time should be lost in
taking steps to remedy any defects
which might exist, or other pressing
work will shelve the matter once for
all.-Farm and Home (England9
