means the establishment of this spe'
cialty in many parts of Rhode Island
as it is already developed in the east
ern part of the state. where the farm
ers raise fowls and produce eggs in
such quantities that buyers regularly
come to the farms for supplies of eggs
and market poultry. They thus relieve
the poultry producer of the trouble OF
seeking n market unless he prefers TO
be his own salesman and deliver the
products of his poultry farming direct
to retail customers. Thus may increas-
ing thousands Of land and water fowl
be raised in Rhode Island to supply
the demands of a large nonproductive
factory population and of the inhabit-
ants of several cities within the state.
Boston and New York are within easy
reach and can readily care for any sur
plus if such should result. The danger
of a glut in the market for fresh eggs
and prime dressed fowls exists only in
Imagination. The export trade. now
rapidly developing, will take care Of
any possible surplus for many years to
come. Several men and women have
lately come to this state to purchase or
rent farms to be devoted to poultry
keeping. Surely it is we'll for Rhode
Island that her abandoned farms and
numerous neglected acres should be
taken by native Americans and devoted
to progressive, profitable speciality.

POULTRY CULTURE.
Special Training For Wide Awake
and Ambitious Young Poultry Men.

Poultry culture has its fascination
for village and city people as we'll as
for the rural population. The matter
has also it's moral bearings. 1t is well
for the lads as they are growing up to
become interested in the beautiful
birds of the poultry docks. Something
alive, that has motion, beauty and pos
sibilities of development, will attract
and interest the young and growing
boy and help to keep him out of idle
ness and mischief. A suitable pet or
hobby means much in this life and may
in the end make the difference between
Il virtuOus and a vicious life. This
work is akin to and proper continual
ton of the valuable mature study" of
the public schools. The Rhode Island
experiment station has a plan of spe-
Cial instruction in poultry culture
which seeks to place the poultry farm
ing of that state and to some extent of
America on the very best scientific and
practical foundation. 1t states that
provision is made by this course, sup
plemented by subsequent practical
training in the poultry plant, for the
prompt and rapid fitting of young, ca
pable poultry men for taking up the
poultry business in this or other states
for themselves or for filling positions
remunerative and honorable as mana
gers of the poultry plants of the coun-
try. The poultry business, which is to-
day developing with amazing rapidity
in this country, should be employed to
utilize numerous acres comprising in
the aggregate an immense area which
is now for the most part lying idle and
profitless and in many cases depreciat-
ing in value
According to a recent bulletin issued
by the state board of agriculture, there
are $40 farms for sale in Rhode Island.
Many farms in the state can and
should be devoted to poultry keeping.
This industry ought also to be devel-
oped as a side branch upon numerous
farms where some member of the
farmers family has the interest and
the enterprise to secure the training OBJ
tainable in this poultry course and then
take up this profitable branch of farm

WIND BREAKS.
Cheap Shelter and Protection For
Hogs I ed In the Open Field

1t is n well known fact that in many
sections where hogs are fed during the
winter months they eat out in the open
field or lot Sometimes it is even
worse, for they must sleep without
shelter or protection from the gales of
wind that drive over them. Up to Dec.
10 last year there was but little wealth
er that was very hard on hogs fed
without any protection as compared
with extreme cold weather; still there
were a few mornings that they would
not come out of warm nests for early
feeding.
1t is generally believed that hogs eat
more when the weather is extremely
cold than they do when it is moderate.
such weather as is considered ideal"
by the farmer for pig feeding. We
know that this belief is erroneous and
that hogs will fall off in amount of
feed consumed 20 per cent. Recently
the statement has been made to us
that hogs fed in the timber where the
wind does not drive eat regularly and
without a break when the weather is
extremely cold. This statement being
true, it is certainly worthy of careful
consideration. Every farmer does not
have piece Of timber for a feed lot
but he is very poorly off if he has not
the means at hand to nearly approach
the same conditions as those given by
the timber.
When a farm is under a regular sys-
TEN OF crop rotation, it is very con-
venient and advisable TO also rotate the
feeding grounds; consequently shelter
must be portable or temporary. The
shelter can he made by using rails or
poles and straw. or cheap plank can be
used. The shelter and feeding floor
should be near together. so that a
wind break can be made to protect the
hogs as they pass from shelter to the
feeding floor, which should also be pro-
tected on at least three sides by a
wind break
This wind break may be made by us
ing plank that is matched or that will
fit neatly without matching, making
panels of convenient length and three
to four feet high. They can he faStcn-
ed to stakes driven securely into the
ground y good way to set such stakes
is to start the holes for them by using
spud or post hole digger. They may
need bracing to hold against high winds
when the ground is soft. These panels
if carefully built will last for years
and we have no doubt will pay for
themselves in protecting the hogs
many times over.
Without doubt there are many farms
on which hogs are regularly grown and
where they have no weather breaks or
protection on which fodder and straw
is going to waste that could with
little work be made into comfortable
shelter and wind breaks for the hogs.
Sometimes this is attempted and be-
cause not well done there has arisen
against such protection prejudice that
almost condemns their value If built
right, they must be profitable and give

American Glover Seed Most Valuable.
On the subject of red clover seed
there has been an active controversy in
Europe, particularly on the continent.
In some years this seed is exported in
enormous quantities from the United
States, the value of the export in n
single year having reached the sum of
nearly So,OO00O0. Upon the allegation
that American clover seed contained a
large percentage of weed seeds a care
full investigation of this point was
made, which showed that such posi-
ton was untenablc. This is now con-
coded by many of the European seed
control stations. Next the allegation
was made that the American clovcrs
produced crop different and inferior
in character from that of the Euro
pean clover On this point different
seed control stations of Europe have
taken opposite sides. The United
States department of agriculture last
year secured many authentic samples
of European grown and American
grown clover seed. The comparative
tests of these on the Potomac flats
strongly Indicate that whatever may
be the ultimate result of the European
investigation in regard to the relative
merits of red clovers for cultivation
on that continent SO far as the clover
growing parts of the United States are
concerned, American seeds are decided
ly the more valuable. This is likely to
have an important bearing on the
clover seed market in years of short
age of the American crop, when clover
seed is sometimes imported from
abroad, says Secretary Wilson.
