The advent of trap nests has been
the means of more good in poultry cul-
ture than any other invention of re-
cent years. Before it's introduction
the poultry breeder was greatly at sea
and there was entirely too much guess
work. For instance, the problem OF
increased egg production was solved on
a 'hit-or-miss' plan. Breeders select
ed such birds as, in their opinion,
showed the best laying qualities. and
while in some cases they succeeded in
picking out the cream of the flock, in
many instances they were misled. Re
peated experiments with the trap nest
proved the fact that in many cases the
best layer In the flock is about the
poorest specimen in outward markings
Two years ago | discovered that the
finest hen that was fit to exhibit. only

such hen worth keeping? In the

flied by any Judge laid 150 eggs. The

Other advantages that might be men
toned are that by frequently hand
ling. as is the case by taking hens Off
the nest the hens become more tame
and are less likely to scare. All poul-
try breeders know that excited hens
are Improbable layers. BY handling
hens. too. the breeder is able to quick
ly determine the fowls condition, note
the first signs of sickness or injury.
In short, by the use of the trap nest
the breeder can keep in touch with the
individual hen, now her good and bad
qualities, and satisfy himself of her
general condition. know of no other
system that will give such practical
lessons as these nests, and the COM
mon verdict by all who have used
them, is that the only guidepost to
successful work, and building up of a
profitable strain. is by the careful use
of some well-devlsed trap.-Michael X.

secret of making from the pulp of

parchment. Each family possesses
a few sheets of this paper, on which
its chronicles and traditions are rec.

ther expansion In this line
Winter gardening aud farming in
the southern belt of states where the
climate is warm enough to produce the

phenomenal rapidity in recent years.
Whole sections of states have been re-
claimed by this industry, and land that
was worth only few dollars an acre

whole system Of living and diet has
been transformed by this industry, and

The expansion of this form of win
Ter farming has been due to the rail
roads and steamship companies oper-
ating lines along the coast or through
the belt of states with climate and soil
suitable TO the business. The corstruc-
tion of refrigerator ears which would
enable growers to ship their straw
berries and tomatoes from Florida and
Louisiana to New York or Boston In
midwinter gave a great stimulus to the
industry. II is now possible to land
the most pcrishablc fruits and voge-
tables in New York from the most dis
tant gardens within scventy-two hours
after picking and in perfect condition.
Each year the source of the supply is
extended. II was first the Caroliras,

ed this industry. Then Florida enter

spread along the Gulf and included

The spray calendar, which has been
helpful to fruit growers and farmers,
writes George c. Butt, State Horticul-
turist, has just been revised by the
Pennsylvania State College Agricultur-
al Experiment Station, such modifica-
tions. having been made as recent ex-
perimentation warrants. Spraying to
control fungous diseases and insect
enemies has become a fixed practice
in the best orchards and gardens Far
mers and gardeners are becoming fam
iliar with the ordinary remedies, and
need only simple guide to direct them
properly in making use of them. The
spray calendar serves excellently as
such guide. In the revision the prin-
cipal changes have reference to the
treatment for the San Jose scale. The
treatment so popular on the Pacific
coast, and known as the lime, sui
phur and salt remedy, is given. On
account of some satisfactory results in
the use of this remedy last year. it is
being employed extensively among
peach growers this spring. The use of
crude petroleum is also indicated. and
the remedy for the nuIserymans use
is briefly outlined. This is the hydro
cyanic acid gas treatment for dorment
trees by means of a specially concoct-
ed fumigation house.
Many fruit growers are learning to
their sorrow that they have neglected
their fruit trees too long in this mat
ter OF spraying, and are now seeing
their orchards declining, because of the
permanent injury to their trees from
the ravages of insects and fungous
foes. Some are ruined by "canker,'
some weakened by leaf curl" while
