OF the Hamburgs, Mr., Winsfeld, an
English writer says: Why Hamburgs
should be called by that name is in
applicable, except upon the supposi-
ton that the Levant merchants then
residing at Hamburg introduced them
from Turkey or elsewhere, and that
from Hamburg they were exported to
England. Whatever may have been
its place of origin, or however its
present name may have been derived,
it would appear that the Hamburg
fowls were among the occupants Of
the poultry yards of our monasteries
as early as the beginning Of the four
teenth century, since Chaucer has
described a cock In their possession
that was evidently Of the Golden
Hamburg breed.

Cultivation of Soil.

Cultivation is probably the most i'm
portsnt feature connected with the
handling of soils. Nature has placed
large quantities of plant food in our
soils, and 1t depends upon our skill
and knowledge how far we can make
use OF and work this mine for the
benefit Of our crops. Cultivation is
vital, and the subject is so wide that
one scarcely knows where to begin.
For spring grains l try to plow in the
tall. When the burrows are well and
evenly set up and are frozen, and
when the frost comes out, fertilization
takes place and the soil is left in a
nne, granulous condition. Plant food
Is liberated and a warm seed bed Is
formed. When blowing for spring
grain Is left until the spring, our
teams are blowing when they should
be surface cultivating, and drilling In
the seed. Every days delay in get
ting In grain after the soil Is dry
enough to work means fewer bushels
at threshing time. Soil plowed in
the spring, too, is colder on the sur
race than that plowed in the fall,
which involves slower termination
and vegetation. AS to the proper
depth to pillow, 1t seems to me that is
question which each farmer must
decide for himself, according to his
own soil, conditions and crop require
ments. II the soil of a given field Is
deep, say ten or twelve inches, and
that field were plowed in the fall for
spring grain. l would try to pillow 1t
about seven inches deep. But II by
some mischance that field were not
plowed until the spring l would pillow
1t lighter, as the deeper the blowing
the colder the surface turned up. II
that field were plowed in the fall for
mangels, would try for about eight
inches. But II the surface soil of this
field is only six or seven inches deep,
l would try to plow 1t only FIVE or six
inches deep. In other words, the
depth of the soil, the time of blowing
and the nature Of the crop grown are
all factors In determining how deep
to plow. I do not wish to bring any
subsoil to the surface II I can avoid
1t. Sometimes, however, the surface
soil Is so shallow that some of the
subsoil must necessarily be brought
to the surface in blowing. II have
a deep soil / want to give the roots
Of the plants liberal feeding grounds,
because they will, If allowed, strike
down deeply. AS to the question Of
frequency of blowing, 1t appears to me
that that also depends upon soils and
circumstances. Heavy, compact soils
require more blowing than lighter
ones. Such soils tend to get hard
and bake and become inert, and hence
require the pillow to open them and i'm
prove their mechanical condition. The
plow, too, is the surest and quickest
way to destroy many sorts of weeds
Where the land is clean and the soil
will permit it, surface cultivation with
disc or spring tooth often forms a
better seed-bed than the use of the
plow.-A. w. Peart.

heavy task. There we're three little
brothers of us, however, who needed
a stimulus, for the novelty of caring
for the worms soon wore off, and 1t
was amazing to see the quantity
of leaves the worms could eat. Feed
ing them i~nterspersed with u fish
ing. Sister Margaret, who was the
manager, promised each of us a vest.
and from this time on she had little
trouble about help. We little folks
did little in gathering leaves, as those
on the bushes and lower limbs had
been gathered. 1t vas our duty to
feed them, and once or twice within
their short lives to shift them and
clean the tables on which they were
raised.
AS very few have seen silk-worms,
a few words about them may be in
teresting to some. The moths do
not fly. They are placed on clean,
strong paper and soon afterward
mate and deposit their eggs in thick
patches. These adhere to the paper
very closely. The paper must then
be carefully folded and put away
in a close place, excluding light,
warmth and dampness as much as
possible. Early in May the paper on
which the eggs are laid should be
placed on a table in a warm room
where the papers will not be moved
about. Within a few days they will
begin to hatch. Care must be had
not to have the eggs to begin to
hatch until the leaves r at least a.
large as Il silver dollar. A few
leaves may be laid on the eggs, but
the worms when first Matched do not
crawl much, nor do the eggs all
hatch at the same time. With ten
der care the scattering ones must
be lifted with the wing feather of
a chicken or guinea fowl (the quill
of the turkey and a goose is too
large), and carefully placed on the
leaves.
Their growth at first is slow. When
about o%ne-fourth or half grown they
moult or shed; after this the growth
is very rapid. At this period they
are very delicate and must be kept
dry and not fed on wet leaves.
Rats, mice, wrens and ants prey
upon them. The depradations of
ants may be prevented by setting the
legs of the tables or benches upon
which the worms are raised in water,
dry ashes, or ringing them around
with tar.
Within a month or a little more
the worm gets it's growth. It then
quits eating and begins to hunt a
place to spin. The twigs of an oak
left a day in the sun to make the
leaves curl should be placed upon
the tables. The worm soon takes to
the curled leaves and spins it's cocoon
from it's own body. The click of

Story of q Silk Vest.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Some time within the early thir-
ties a number of families in the
Hawfelds section of Orange County,
now embraced in Alamance, raised
more or less silk, though not in large
quantities. The subject of silk rails
ing has been agitated o or less
from and before the settlement of
the Swiss in New Bern and the sur-
rounding country. They came from
a mountainous country, ignorant of
sanitary precautions and the require
ments of a malarial climate. Many
died, and most of the survivors met
with a worse fate at the hands of
the mistreated and outraged Indians,
and persisted horribly in the massa-
ores of I'LL to 1913, after which the
country from the coast to the Ca
tawba River was almost entirely
freed from the presence of the Red
Men by a great battle fought neal
Kinston, where fully one thousand
men persisted. Notwithstanding, the
large grants of land made to Lord
George burlington, Governor of
North Carolina, ON condition that
the grant should be settled by Swiss
Protestants, no more Swiss emf
grants and silk-growers ver came,
and the only traces of Governor Bur
rington's efforts to introduce silk
culture in the Hawfelds grant (af-
forwards the property of Samuel
Strudwick and heirs) is a colossal
stump of what was called an Eng
lish mulberry, still standing on the
Orange and Alamance county line
at the corner of William Kirkpat-
rick's yard. For more than a hun
dred years it was the property of the
Mebanes, and for at least seventy
five years the militia we're accus-
toned to assemble under its wide
spreading branches. Here stood the
Colonel and other mounted officers
on their prancing horses, while John
Cox and Maj. Allen Jones, now an
octogenarian, made their flies squeal

"The Campbells are Coming; and
George Tate, though only turned
into his teens, with stopped shout

My father, having faith in the fu-
