Aged Hens.

When a hen is three years old
she is ready to be placed on the
retired list. This is not saying
that her usefulness is ended, and
that she can no longer pay her
way. She may lay eggs enough
to more than pay for her keeping
for two years after that, but at
that age you would not want her
served on your table and should
not offer her for that purpose to
any one else.
At three years old she is we'll
started on the down grade, is tax
ing up the room and attention
which would better be bestowed
on something younger. Many
leading poultry-men never keep a
hen over the second Winter, while
others of equal prominence put
their trust mainly in 2year-old
hens; but no egg farmer of ex-
perience would accept hens as a
gift which had passed beyond
their third year. If such people
can not make them profitable,
farmers can not. And yet many
farmers have no means of deter
mining the age of the hens on the
premises, except from memory.
We have had occasion to know,
too, that their memory is often
sadly at fault.

Fumigating Nursery Trees.

While it is now generally admit
ted that the San Jose scale is a
formidable enemy to the orchidist,
its ravages have not been without
some benefit to the public. Under
the laws of most of the States, all
trees, nursery grown, must be in
spected by competent authorities,
and a certificate of inspection be
given before the trees can be sold.
The inspectors have found, in
many cases, that while the trees
were not affected by San Jose
scale, they had other troubles
that would be transmitted with
them when sold, so as to endanger
orchards already set Canker
worm, bud moth and Goblin moth
were among the insect diseases
found, and, consequence, the
nurseryman was forced to fumigate
his trees for these diseases before
he could have a certificate of in

soil but would be benefited for the
growth of most crops by being
deeply stirred by subsoiling, which
loosens, without turning out, the
subsoil, and the deeper this is
done the more benefit received.
Aside from any additional plant
that may thus become available,
the mechanical condition permit
ting excess of moisture to rapidly
settle away from the surface,
where at times it is so detrimental
and its retention in reach of the
roots of the crop at time when
it is absolutely necessary for the
proper perfection of the same, are
both of sufficient importance to
make very deep subsoiling much
more generally practiced than it
is at this time.
Farmers can not too strongly
have it impressed upon their minds
that all plant food is assimilated in
a liquid form. No matter how
much plant food there may be in
the soil, if from any cause it is I'M
avoidable, then it may as we'll not
be there for any benefit it is to
the crop.
Fertility is important, but not
always of first Importance, while
the control of moisture is. In all
stiff clay soils, which are especial
ly benefited by disintergration by
frosts, or by sunshine and rain,
the turning over of the same to
any depth will be beneficial; while
light sandy soils deficient in depth
would not receive any benefit and
might receive temporary injury
by turning over say to depth of
10 inches. Careful thought and
observation will usually guide the
farmer toward the proper treat
ment of his soil for the crops he
expects to grow.

Raising Broom Corn.

Broom corn is easy to raise and
care for if a man will exercise
good judgment. Plant about the
Ist of April in rows 4 feet apart;
plant about pounds of seed per
acre. If the seed is clean a COM
mon corn planter can be so ar
ranged as to plant the proper
quantity. The corn should be
thinned out until the stalks stand
about or 3 inches apart in the
row, or, if very good land, would
not hurt to let it stand a little
thicker. Cultivate as common
corn. When the brush is at its
best, or, rather, when the seed be-
gins to turn from its light color,
and before the brush begins to
turn red, it should be cut in haste

FOR THE FARMER,
When to Cut Timber.

When the sap rises in the Spring
it changes the starch stored in the
cells of the new wood into sugar
water, to be utilized in the growth
and early poisoning of the
branches. When Spring growth
is about completed in June the
cells of the new wood have less
starch than at any time during the
year. The new growth in June is
in the cambium layer, just under
the bark. If cut at this time, the
bark peeled off, and the posts
split and ricked up properly for
drying during the heat of the
Summer, they will not powder
post" and will prove far more
durable than when cut and split
in Winter with the new wood cells
loaded with starch.
All makers of ax-helveS know
that hickory cut in Winter will be
attacked by borers, but if cut in
early Summer, split and dried it is
all right.
In all European forestry schools
early Summer cutting of tough
young timber is recommended,
followed by speedy drying. This
tough young timber of oak, hick-
orv or other trees, has its outer
new wood and family colored
heart-wood in which some life is
vet retained. But with old trees
with intense colored heartwood
and little sap-wood the time of cut
ting is less important. The tan
ming in such old heartwood is
antiseptic and preventive, and has
no life or sap circulation. Yet
this deeply colored heart-wood
proves more durable, when used
for posts or stills, if thoroughly
dried before using, which can be
more rapidly done in Summer
than in Winter and Spring.
