NESTS FOR LAYERS.
Hest Material Is Dry Earth on ths
bottom, with Chopped Hay
Over the Earth.

Many claim that the nests should be
on the ground, but all claims that hens
should have their nests on the moist
ground are but theories, and unsup-
ported by facts. What is required for
the hen in winter is snug, warm loca-
ton, while in summer she should have
cool place. The best material for
nest is dry earth on the bottom, with
chopped, hay over the earth. Then
dust the nest, hens and eggs with Per
sian insect powder, put small guam
tity of tobacco refuse in the nest and
clean it out thoroughly should an egg
become broken or the nest foul. The
broken eggs will cause lice quicker than
anything else. But first see that the
hen has no lice. then give her good
eggs and she will bring off brood if
she has a warm and comforta bic nest.
The nest should be made movable, so
as to be taken outside for cleaning,
and it should never be placed, where any
of the fowls can cause it to be filthy or
roost upon it. 1t should never be so
high as to compel efforts to reach it, as
the large breeds will prefer TO lay on
the ground rather than to reach high
nest, even when footway is provided, to
say nothing of the fact that some of
the hens learn to fly over a fence by first
learning to reach high nest. Never
have the nest in a barrel or so con-
structed that the hen must jump down
to it. as broken eggs will be the conse-
quence, but rather so place the en-
trance as to permit her to walk in upon
the eggs. The nest should be placed in
a dark position, or so arranged that
the interior will be somewhat dark,
which will be partial protection
against egg eating. For flock of one
dozen hens, four nests will be sufficient.

PASTURE FOR HOGS.
They VIII Thrive Best Where They
Have mn Abundance of Good
Grass and Glover.

Every swine grower knows that sue
cess in pork production is best pro-
moted by having an abundance of good
pasture. The hogs thrive best and
make pork cheapest on grass and
clover, for, by nature, the pig feeds on
grass as well as grains, notwithstand-
ing the small size of its stomach. Pigs
like blue grass pasture well, and it
comes early, but brood sows that are
nursing should be turned on it with
caution and gradually get accustomed
TO it, otherwise it will affect the milk
and the swine grower will be wonder
ing what is the matter with young
pigs. Blue grass is also fine fall pas
ture for brood sows, after the clover
has been nipped by the frost.
Glover is a fine summer pasture. hard
TO improve upon and coming in when
blue grass has become little dry and
unpalatable, and both the sows and
pigs can almost live Upon it until fall.
We say "aiiin6st" adV:sediy, for pigs
feed naturally on grass as well as grain,
and not on grass exclusively at any
season. Clover should be managed so
that pigs will always have it young and
tender. When it becomes woody larger
stock should eat it down or it should be
moved, so as to allow the new growth
to come on. Rape is also being more
largely grown for hog pasture and it
makes very good one, especially in the
fall, and early fall sown rye serves an
excellent purpose after it has made a
good growth. With reasonable fore
thought it is no very difficult matter
TO provide good pasture for the hogs
the whole season through, and they
will be all the better for it as well as
more cheaply grown. No one should
try to raise hogs without plenty of
pasture throughout the season, but re-
member also that it takes grain to
make a marketable hog and to keep
brood sows up to their work.-West-
ern Swineherd.

Water Required by Corn.

About $500 tons of water per acre
IS the estimate for crop of corn. Such
a weight of water would crush a strong
building and yet morlythan that guam
tity falls upon an gre in the course of
year. 1t is not so difficult to obtain
he water as to prevent its loss. 1t is
known that if a tub of water is COW

dirt on the surface prevents evapora-
ton and the water is retained in the
soil for the use of the plants.

MISTAKE MANY MAKE,
Why Beekeepers Should Not Com
tinue Their Destructive Warfare
Against the King-Bird.

Many beekeepers feel it their duty
to destroy any king-bird seen about the
apiary, as much as poultry keepers
would hawk or fox around the crick-
en- yard. But if the report of our agri-
cultural department is correct, this is
a mistake. They examined the stom-
achs of 2S1 king birds shot in different
parts of the country, and found bees
in but IA of them. In these there were
so bees, of which 40 were drones, four
were workers and six could not be
identified being too badly broken.
There was then only a possible ten
worker bees to PSI birds. On the CON
trary, there were ten robber lies which
often do much damage among bees.
There were beetles such as those whose
larvae are the wireworm, the p,ant-
eating grubs and the various cut
worms, the cut worms themselves,
caterpillars, grasshoppers, grain weev-
ills, leaf hoppers and other insects in
