L. FL. Bailey, of Cornell University.
Handsomely illustrated. 800 pages.
Price, $1.25. Ia
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer car
anywhere invest 1925 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount to US for a copy of Prof. L.
H. Bailey's principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the why's and wherefores"-the
principles-of the business of
farming. It is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader OF this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 800
pages. Send US 81. % and geta copy.
We guarantee satisfaction.

Frequently the hens will refuse to
lay in the nests. Examination will
usually show that owing to lack of
arrangement of the rOOsts the hens
perch on the nests and foul them
with their dropplngs. All kinds of
poultry will seek the highest points
on which to rOOst which is a nat
ural instinct that prompts them
TO seek the best places of safety,
and if the nests are higher than the
roostS they will use the lodges or
partitions of the nest boxes. When
the hens do not lay in the nests the
eggs are liable to become frozen dur
ing severely cold weather, and con
siderable time is also lost in seeking
the stolen places in which the hens
deposit their eggs. Keep the nests
clean and have them low or on the
hoor.-Delaware Farm and Home.

SHALLOW CULTURE.

Prof. Massey, of the North Caro-
lima Experiment Station, has tested,
believes in and urges fat planting of
COTTON and shallow cultivation of
cott2n and the use of improved broad
cast weeders instead of hand hoes in
cultivation. Money saved is, dollar
for dollar, worth as much as money
made. If the work usually done
with a hoe at the rate of an acre a
day can be done better at the rate of
eight 20 ten acres a day, will if not
pay to add the team and tool which
the change requires? 1t is not the
rapidity of the work alone that gives
the advantage, but the superiority
of the work, which leaves a loose,
clean surface, free from the almost
mountainous hills and valleys left
Fy the cid style plows. Every ridge
or every furrow left by the pillow in
creases the surface exposed to heat
ing sun and drying wind. The shall
low going weeders reduce all to a
level, and thus check evaporation.-
