Hints on Feeding Poultry.

Sitting hens should be as well fed
as those that are laying, but the
feeding should be different. Grain
should be left where they can get it
whenever they desire to come off the
nest. This is done not only as a mat
ter of convenience but also to insure
the hens getting all they want to
eat, and also to get them into the
habit of coming off regularly; which
they will be more apt to do if they
know the food is always obtainable.
1t is better to feed all whole grain
in good variety; such as corn, oats
and wheat. The reason is that all
the food a sitting hen requires is for
her bodily maintenance. She is a
non-producer and will therefore be.
able to satisfy her needs without
soft food, vegetables or meat, though
a little of these will be a benefit.
The danger lies in feeding SO much
vegetable food as to loosen the bowels
or so much meat as to stimulate a
desire to discontinue sitting and go
to laying.-From Country Life in
America.

trymen who rent portions of oroot
estates with no hope of maxine onI
owning their own homes. When Tho
American farmer rises with the o,,n
it is to sweep his eye over acres +bot
r his own, and when he tramn,
forth it is into fields that no man con
lawfully step upon without his con-
sent. And finally when he reaps and
stores his products they are for bis
own and his family's benefit. not 70
be divided with a wealthy landlord
who, through education and lono
experience in tenantry, sees to i
that the farmer makes only a living
and nothing more. The Baron Won
F1ugge has viewed merely the mus
cular efforts of the American farmer
without considering that the mental
attitude plays an important part in
the lightness or heaviness of all work.

In treating cattle for lice, poison

The resulting yields we're as fol-
lows for three seasons: Not pruned,
60 bushels an acre; pruned two
inches deep, 60 bushels an acre;
pruned four inches deep, 45 bushels
an acre; pruned six inches deep, 30
bushels an acre.
In fact, these, and all other SINH
lar experiments, simply prove that
any injury to the roots of the plants
reduces the yield. The amount of
this reduction was about in proper
ton to the number of roots cuts off.
These experiments explain very
clearly the reduction of the yield
by deep cultivation.
The results of experiments, and
from practical experience, are to the
effect that continued cultivation,
keeping a loose mulch on the sur-
face of the soil, gives the best re-
suits. The general practive coming
into vogue among the most progress
sive and successful corn growers is
that after corn reaches a height to
to interfere in cultiEating with the
ordinary two-horse cultivator, to use
a single horse with a fve-tooth har-
row or drag and cultivate between the
rows of corn during the setting of
the ears on the stalks. The yields
to the acre of 100 bushels have been
secured by this plan, and experience
has proved it to be practical and
successful on a large scale.
With the results of these expert
ments before you cultivate shallow,
cultivate frequently, and the result
with the land so full of moisture, as
it now is, will probably be a yield of
corn which may suffice to make good
the deficiency which an ungenial
May, and consequent late planting,
threatens.-July Southern Planter.

grown here and I have tried it's cul-
ture with great success. Beans, peas
and all of the small vegetables pay
handsomely. Tomatoes flourish very
freely in this soil, and with proper
arrangements for shipping, can be
advantageously raised. I have a
place at Rocky Point, about fifteen
miles from the city, upon which [

berries; the proceeds of this venture
amounted to $4,000, enabling me to
buy a piece on the opposite side of

There is no trouble about labor in
this country. We have good trucking
lands around Wilmington which are
about a month earlier than Norfolk
and a month later than Charleston.
I pick about 1000 or 5000 quarts Of
strawberries per week, and get about
twelve cents per quart for them. The
expense of picking, manure and
freight is about seven cents per
quart, leaving about five cents net.
Frequently we get as high as fifty
cents per quart for strawberries; an
acre of very good land will yield 5000
quarts, but poor land will not bring
more than 1000.

ton this month, as upon the efec-
tiveness of this work will largely de-
pend how far the present backward
and unpromising condition of the
crop is to be improved upon. With
such cultivation as can, and ought
to, be given, and with the moisture
now in the land, if we have only hot
weather this condition can be so i'm
proved as to bring the yield nearly
up to the average. Few farmers
appreciate what an important factor
the presence of abundant moisture in
the land is to the well doing of the
corn crop and how necessary it is to
conserve it. In experiments made
at the Wisconsin Experiment Station
it has been found that it requires
about 80 pounds of water to pro-
duce a single pound of dry matter.
By figuring up the amount of dry
matter in an 8O-acre field of corn
and multiplying by 80, the pounds
of water that are required to pro-
duce the crop will be secured. The
result is astonishing.
It does not seem possible that such
an enormous quantity of moisture
can be secured by the corn plants
during the growing season, and,
more important than all, this mois-
ture, in most part, is used during
July and August, the months of least
rainfall in the year; so it can easily
be seen that the conservation of the
moisture in the soil is an exceedingly
important problem, and one which
every corn grower in the country
will find it profitable to investigate.
The Illinois Station conducted ex-
haustiVe tests of the comparative
amount of moisture conserved by the
different methods of cultivation. Two
things were found to be true: First,
that deep cultivation conserves soil
moisture; and, second, that frequent
cultivation conserves the moisture
most effectively of all plans of cul-
tivation. 1t was found that in the
deep civilizations, despite the excess
of moisture, the yield was very low,
compared with shallow culture. To
find the cause of this an extensive
series of experiments with the prun-
ing or cutting off of the roots of the
corn plant was conducted.
In this root-pruning experiment a
field of corn was selected and one
row was root-pruned two inches
deep. This root-pruning was done
with a broad, sharp blade. The spade
was pushed down into the soil and
a guard allowed it to penetrate just
to the depth planned for in the ex-
pertinent. The whole field was cult
waited with a weeder and all weeds
not removed in this way were cut by
hand. This was done so that the
rows of corn would receive equal
cultivation and be under like condi-
tions. The pruning was done three
times in the season at about the Or
binary times of cultivation. The
second row was not pruned and the
