The Guinea Hen.

From the Farmers Review:-The
Guinea hen is one of the most inter-
esting fowls on the farm. She is al
ways wide awake and lively, always
on the lookout for any enemy that may
appear, and when seen she is not slow
to give the alarm, which oftimes is
great protection to the other fowls
Then she is great layer; will COM
mence soon as it is warm in spring
ard will be regular contributor to
the egg basket till fall, if not allowed
to sit They can be raised as easily
as chickens and when they are raised
with chickens they will be as gentle
as chickens. The white Guineas are
finer table fowls than the colored ones,
as their flesh is of lighter color, and
their skin more yellow. / don't think
any one could tell the difference be-
tween young guinea fried and a young
prairie chicken, and an old one is as
an old prairie chicken. When hatched
with chicken hens they have to be
shut up with hen four or five days
until they get used to the hens cluck,
then they can be turned out and fed
the same as chickens. They are
great foragers, always on the go, and
catch a great many insects. If they
want to go into the garden, let them
go for they will not scratch up any
thing, and are not likely to eat any
thing but insects and worms.-A- q

Our Cranberry Roas.

Not long ago a man in conversation
with the writer expressed surprise at
being informed that cranberries are
grown as far south as Indiana and Illi-
nois- Yet the cranberry is grown over
very wide area of territory in the
United States and possibly could be
grown much further south than it is
at present grown Massachusetts,, New
Jersey and Wisconsin are the great
cranberry states, exceeding in their
cranberry products aH other states.
The figures for these three states for
the census year 1899. were: Massachu-

SubsoiIina Query.

From the Farmers Review:-Will 10
do any good to use a subsoil plow on a
subsoil that will hold water? How
deep should the plowing be? What is
the best time of year to do the work9
The soil is upland and in Oklahoma
Joseph Blodgen, Oklahoma.
The query was submitted to PROF.
John Fields, director of the Oklahoma
Experiment Station, at Saltwater, Ok.
who replies as follows:
/ gather from the inquiry that the
soil in question is underlaid with
tough subsoil through which water
penetrates very poorly. The soil Of
the Experiment Station farm is very
similar in character and experiments
with sub-soiling conducted several
years ago showed that the results did
not warrant e continuance of the extra
labor of subsciling. The better plan
seems to be to plow such land quite
deeply, at least 6 to inches, and give
it thorough cultivation before plant
ing or seeding crop. Such methods of
preparation result in excellent yields
of wheat if the plowing is done early
but If plowing is delayed until late in
the fall, deep plowing usually results
in smaller yields than shallow plowing-
would not advise subsoiling such
land for ordinary farm crops.

Danish Dairy Cattle,

We may very properly inquire
whether there are cattle in other
Countries which would improve our
dairy herds or be a valuable acquisi-
ton to the variety we now possess.
Although others may hold different
views, it is the belief of the writer
that the only countries to which any
attention can profitably be given in
this connection are Denmark, France,
and Switzerland. The first named
furnishes the best example in the
world of dairying as a national spec
ialty, of rapid development, and of
present high average production and
excellence. Here we find the Red
Danish cattle to be the standard stock.
and very satisfactory business cows
they are, of a pronounced dairy type.
But they lack uniformity except in
color, particularly in udder develop
ment and other dairy points, and in
the show ring the very best of them
could not hopefully compete with the
best Of any one of the four leading
dairy breeds of this country. AS dairy
performers they are good, but not re-
markable; the best yearly records the
writer has seen show an average pro-
duction of 5000 to $500 pounds Of
milk per COW, in herds of IL to 19
animals of all ages, with an average
fat content of about 3A per cent, an
equivalent of 290 to 325 pounds of
butter per year. A very celebrated
herd of 20 cows averaged 7.15O pounds
of milk a year. In Jutland there is
distinctively dairy race of sharply de
fined black and white markings in ap-
pearance reminding one of Holland
cattle, and stiu more OF Brittanies, al
though between these two races in
size. They are very attractive cows,
Of rather less tnan medium size, and
excellent mixers. Both these races
of Danish cattle may be credited with
being economical producers; yet none
OF them are wanted here, for super
lAeive excellence seems to be lacking
on the one hand, while on the other
they appear predisposed to tubercu-
fosis and very generally tainted with
this insidious and dread disease

Spraying is Necessary.

In an address on spraying. Prof. F.
NJ. Webster said: The canker worm,
the tent caterpillar, leafrollers and
other native leaf-eating insects, find
instead of an occasional wild cherry
tree, wild crabapple tree or wild plum
tree, whole acres of improved varie-
ties of these, acres upon acres OF
raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and
grape. Grass feeding insects find
hundreds and thousands of acres of
grassy plants more tender and Juicy
than the natural grasses Is it any
wonder that native insects, before
confined to a less number of less
fruitful trees, with an occasional year
that permitted almost no fruit at ali
to grow, thus almost exterminating
them, should, under such favorable
conditions as are offered by our pres.
ent system Of fruit, vegetable and
grain culture, thrive and increase in
numbers far beyond what they would
under less artificial and less favor
able surroundings? We first create
an environment. unnatural and vast
ly more favorable than the original
for the development of insect enc
mics Of our crops, and bring about the
very conditions that these insects are
intended to prevent, and then wonder
why 1t is that they do what Is the
most natural things in the world for
them-feed and breed in the midst OF
plenty. 1t has always seemed to me
that the fruit grower who planted out
his orchards. vineyards and berry
fields, and gave them no protection
from their natural enemies, was do
ing about what a commanding general
would do If he we're to send a divi-
sion of his army into the enemy's
country and not support it with other
troops. 1t is as plain as can possibly
be that the fruft-grower must use arti-
fetal measures to fight the enemies
of his crops, If he expects to succeed.
The present conditions are now what
they are. and we cannot now change
them. This being true, it is mani
festly the proper course to pursue, in
seeking by artificial means to coun-
teract, so far as possible, the adverse
effects of these present conditions.
Thus, the spraying of plants with in
secticides and fungicides becomes inn
perative.

bushels. We can appreciate the lead
of these three states by looking at the
returns of New York, the next greatest
producer, which grew that year only
10,877 bushels. Massachusetts had
5,128 acres in cranberry marsh; New
