FARMERS AND POULTRY.

Raising poultry for egg production
is a business that will pay, especially
the farmer. AS a general thing the
fowls that a farmer keeps in his barn
yard, giving them good range, pay
better than any stock he has on the
market or on the farm. But what
would the profit be if he paid a little
more attention to them and gave them
as much care as he does his bther
stock? If the fowls were properly
housed, properly fed and cared for,
after deducting the cost of feeding,
ETC.. from the amount for which the
g g sell, in nine cases out of ten
there would be a greater balance on
the credit side of the ledger than is
found in connection with any single
department of farm industry. A good
farmer will have a house for his hens,
lust the same as he has q barn for his
horses and a sty for his pigs. a fowl
house should be well ventilated, rat
proof, and contain q good dust box in
the winter. The birds are allowed
to run in the filth of the farm and
scratch for a living the scratching is
all right but the filth is mott and the
result is that they get sick and the
farmer comes to the conclusion that it
is too much work and trouble to keep
chickens on a farm when he really
has not kept them at all. There is q
great deal of material on a farm that
can be utilized on the fowls where it
is is of no use i'll any other way.
Sometimes there is a great deal of
SKINNED milk which is excellent for
birds of all kinds, and then there is so
much material left in the barn where
the feed for the stock is kept which
drops on the floor and which the
fowls will clean up any time. There
is also much green stuff that is excel
lent, and in most farming districts
where there are a number of men kept
on the farm there is enough remaining
on the plates to feed a small flock of
fowls. In all cases it is profitable to
keep fowls on a farm, and there is no
other place that can be selected where
they can be utilized so well and kept
so cheaply.

weighs from forty-five to fifty pounds

1t certainly would require a heavy

THE VIRTUES OF BARLEY.

While the barley crop is considered
a very important one in many locali-
ties, yet we frequently are called
upon to describe and discuss this
cereal as if it were a plant entirely
new. While this crop has a few char
er like, yet we think it may be intro
duced into many rotations with great
advantage. AS barley roots are some
what shallow the crop naturally re-
quires a rich soil. Compared with
oats it is less liable to thrive under
conditions of soil and climate. Land
that will grow good corn one year is
generally in good condition to pro-
duce good barley the following year.
Owing to the fact that the roots do
not enter the lower soil to any con-
siderable extent it naturally follows
that there will be a great advantage
in preparing the surface soil in the
best possible manner. While it is de-
sirable to seed barley as early as pos
sible in the spring, still we much pre-
fer leaving the seeding of this crop I'M
til after spring oats are seeding, as it
is much more liable to be injured by
late spring frosts than these. One
advantage which barley may be cred
tied with over the other cereals is
that it much less liable to be injured
by the rust fungus. Nearly all the
varieties that are now ON the market
mature sometime during the first ten
days in July, so that the crop escapes
to some extent the severely hot
weather. Ripening as it does at this
early date is of considerable advan-
tage to the grower during the harvest
ing period. Where winter wheat is
grown barley is generally ready to
harvest 0 on after this crop, while
spring wheat and oats come in a little
later. But the fact that it natures at
a convenient time would not alone
recommend it for general culture. 1t
must give a good yield of grain, 9TH
erwise farmers in general have little
use for it. In this respect we think
that barley fully fills the requirements.
When ordinary care is taken in pre-

AGRICULTURAL.
DEPTH OF PLANTING CORN.

Most persons have their regulation
depth for planting corn, number of
kernels planted in a hill and method
of cultivation and argument will have
but little effect in altering their plans.
The Live Stock Indicator has the fol-
lowing to say upon these various
points. Year after year the planter
is set in the same notch, and in many
cases is there to stay. While it is not
possible to make a definite statement
as to how deep corn should be planted
that will apply to all cases, yet there
are a few principles that should be
kept in mind during every planting
season.
When dry seed is placed in a wet or
moist soil it Immediately begins to
absorb water, Just in the name that
water will pass from a moist to a dry
soil. The water taken up by the kerr
nels sets into motion life processes.
When once begun these must be con-
tinued until leaves and roots are de-
veloped. If for any reason the action
is arrested, death to the germ must
be the result. Now when corn is
given but an inch of soil covering it
not infrequently happens that there is
enough moisture in the immediate
surface to start the life processes.
Rapid evaporation of soil moisture
may dry out that portion in the vicin-
ity of the seed before the leaf and
roots are developed in which case
the moisture previously taken up by
the seed is absorbed by the soil for
the reason that capillary movements
of water are always from the moister
to the dryer PARTICLES, with the result
that the germ is killed. While there
are experiments which 60 to prove
that planting corn one inch deep is
better than deep planting, yet it will
be apparent that much depends upon
the rainfall. The only time we would
advise planting corn as shallow as
one inch is when the season is cold
and wet. Under such circumstances
a deep covering will invariably rot
the seed.
But the wet season is the exception
and not the rule. Under average con-
ditions we believe in covering corn
from two to three inches deep. If the
a has been very dry up to the
time of planting a three and one-half
or four inch covering will be still bet
ter, because in this case enough moist
ure will collect around the seed to in
duce continuous life processes.
Should heavy rains follow such
deep planting the harrow or weeder
should be used freely in order that the
air may not be excluded. To sum the
matter up we would say In wet sea-
sons plant shallow. Even Il inch of
soil will be enough in the average
season between two and three inches
will give the best of results, while
three and ever four inches is not too
deep if the soil is very dry at the time
of planting.
