FOWLS IMPROVE SOIL.
An Important Fact whose value Rss
Too Long Been Underestimnted
by Our Farmers.

Some poultrymen are favorable to
the method of keeping poultry in
small fiocks, in confinement, with two
yards to each flock. in the greater oD-
portunities given for improving and
using the land. Only one-half of each
acre viii be occupied at the same tiue
by the fowls, the other half being de-
voted to gardening, alternating the
hens and the garden as occasion per-
mits. The half acre in vegetables will
produce as much as was formerly Sc
cured on an acre, and no manure need
be brought or hauled, for not only viii
the hens Qike Sheep scatter the drop
pings themselves. but they also accu-
mUiate at night a large quantity, which
may be applied where it will be most,
serviceable. One great source of fer
tility to the land from the keeping OF
poultry, in addition to the droppings,
is an enormous loss of food from the
tramping of the fowls, the pickings
from the trough. and the discarded
amount due to fermentation, all of
which serve as plant food. Keeping
fowls in yards, removing them fire.
quently and turning under the manure,
prevents the fowls from living in filth.
and permits of an enormous produc-
ton of crops. On piece of light,
sandy soil that has been considered al
most barren, where a flock of 80 hens
were kept for a year, was grown an
enormous crop of potatoes, beans, cab
bages and peas. The growth was eX-
cessively rank. and for three years
after the same spot was more produc-
tive than any of equal space on the
place. The food bought annually for
a flock is equal to bringing a large
quantity of fertilizer on the farm, and
in passing through the body of the
fowl it is reduced to a condition fitting
1t for immediate use by plants. The
fresh earth absorbs and retains its val
liable properties better than the drop
pings from the roost can be saved.
That fruit, vegetables and poultry
should be combined is a fact that will
some DAY be admitted by all; but when
the system is practiced the free ar
rangement may be abolished, and the
hen be used not only for producing
eggs and poultry. but also for improv-
ing the soil, just as is now done in
France, and as is done with sheep in
England. The poultry in France keep
up the fertility of the farms, yield large
profits of eggs and meat and increase
the f1Ocks. yet the fiocks are small and
no ranges are permitted. If it is pos
sibie in France, it is possible here, and
the time Will yet come when no small
gardens viii be cultivated without a
flock of hens as assistants instead of
being considered enemies.-Farm and
Fireside.

salt and Ashes for Hogs.

One item of feed which should
never be neglected is a good supply
OF salt and ashes to which the hogs
can have access at all times Wood
ashes can always be had and the hogs
should have all they will eat When
not convenient to give ashes, char
coal is a good substitute, and even
soft coal viii be eaten for want of
something better, says an exchange.
Hogs are never injured by eating all
the ashes they want, but it is not safe
to give large amounts of salt to ami
mails not accustomed to its use. The
salt and ashes mixture should be kept
in a box under a shed where it viii
be protected from rain, and should
consist of about two quarts of salt for
each bushe1 of ashes. Many feeders
prefer to add few ounces of copperas
to the mixture. Free access to such
a mixture will do much to preserve
the health of hogs, and sows which
have had an abundance of such food
will rarely eat their young.-Rura1

RECLAIMING SWAMPS.
Millions of Acres of Now Useless
Lands Might Ise Converted into
Fertile Farm Soil.

There are large areas of swamp
soils that might be converted into the
most productive land in the country.
The Wisconsin experiment station
says that there are 1000 square miles
of such soils in that state and that
most of it could readily be drained
and put into condition for tillage In
diana also has an extensive acreage Of
such soils. They contain large guam
titles of humus, and are sometimes
called humus soils. Some of these
soils are very mellow after they have
been drained and broken up. But
some humus soils, notably in the
northern portion of Wisconsin, are
covered with a sod that is absolutely
indestructible. We have seen pieces
Of such sod, that have been lying
around for five years, that could not
be torn apart. 1t is better to remove
such sod entirely from the land, though
we have seen corn and buckvheat
growing on this upturned sod, and do
ing well, especially the buckwheat.
Soils of this kind are so rich in
humus, phosphates and potash that
they would not seem to need any fer
tilizers. But humus soils are eccen-
trio, if we may use the term. 1t is
difficult to understand them. One
year they may produce good crops,
the next year poor, and the following
year good again. In some expert
ments that have been conducted to de-
termine the value of manure upon
such lands, plots upon which barn
yard manure was applied produced
nearly twice as much dry matter as
an equal area of unfertiIized land pro-
duced. The application of kainite did
no good, but as the land to which it
was applied produced less than land
to which it was not applied did, per
haps a reasonable conclusion would
be that it did harm Potassium sui
phate and potassium chloride had
good effect.
The treatment of such soils after
drainage can hardly be advised. They
differ SO widely that treatment must
be the result of experiment Drain
age, however, is the nrst step toward
retaining these humus soils, and that
must be thoroughly done. If there is
much land to be drained, it would be
better to employ an engineer and
have the lines laid out properly-John
Fl. Hobbs, in Agricultural Epitomist.

that time it has remained in possession
