GENERAL CROP CONDITIONS.
summary of Reports Received at tho
weather bureau In Washington.

Washington. u. C.-1he Weather
Bureau has issued the following sum
mary of general crop conditions:
While the month has been cold In the
principal agricultural districts the pre-
cipitation was light, and such farm
work as is usually performed in winter
has been conducted very SATISFACTORY
~. In the Southern States extensive
preparations for spring planting have
been made. In Southern Texas and in
Florida some corn has been planted,
and oat seeding has begun in pOr-
tions Of the Central Gulf States. over
the Southern portion of the winter
wheat region. owing TO general lack Of
snow protection and alternate freezing
and thawing, the reports respecting
winter wheat are for the most part un-
favorable. but over the northern pOr-
ton there has generally been ample
snow covering. and the reports indi-
cate that the crop is in very promising
condition.
Reports OF injury by ny continue. vt
they are less numerous than in the pre-
ccding month. On the Pacific coast
the wheat outlook is reported as eX-
cellent. although growth has been re-
tardcd by low temperatures Of the first
and last decades, some damage having
resulted from heavy rains In Central
and Northern California The South
rrn States have experienced very try
Ing temperature conditions when frecz
Ing temperature occurred as far south
as Central Florida.

Fattening Lambs.

On some of the small farms near the
cities Of the Western States the farm
ers are buying lambs from the large
sheep ranges Of the points both north
west and southwest, and fattening
them for market, and they will find 1t
profitable. They claim that with small
er focks and suitable shelter they can
fatten them more cheapiy than they
can be made fit for market on the
ranges, and then they have the advan-
cage of being near 10 market when
they are ready, and often able to take
advantage of a favorable turn. They
buy them at four to six months and
fatten in from one to two months
feeding. so that they increase about
one-third in weight The alfalfa hay,
shredded corn fodder, roots and corn
are converted into cash. and there is
good pile of the best of manure to en-
rich the land for future crops. We
think the same thing might be profit
ably done here in New England with
some of the half fattened lambs that
reach our markets. Or one might buy
ewes to lamb in the spring and realize
n good profit from his sale of lambs
and wool next seasou.-American Cul-
tivatOr.

figure out exactly the amount Of space
that a given number Of fowls require.
Now, after twenty years Of careful
study Of a hens natural instincts. /
am convinced that. so long as the
roosting room is sufficiently large for
all the fowls TO sit comfortably, there
is no danger Of crowding
As q matter OF fact, no matter how
large the room or how few the fowls,
they will all huddle together in one
eorner. and occupy only small por-
ton of the space. Furthermore, the
large room is more likely TO be cold.
and the fowls will suffer. while in the
small room they will be comfortable.
| have found that fifty fowls can be
housed comfortably in a room ten feet
square. but this applies only 10 the
roostlug and laying room.
A separate scratching shed must be
arranged FOR the day. and must be so
constructed that the fowls can remain
in il during the coldest weather with.
