THE NOTING OF POULTRY
Process Was Fastened Successfully
by the Experts at Rhode Island
Experiment Station.

An interesting discussion Is now 60
ing on among poultry raisers as to
the possibility Of Fastening the mott
ing of fowls. 1t has not been believed
that any method except q steady feed
of well-balanced rations would do
this. There is an impression. how
ever, that even this does not always
hasten the desired period, as the egg
laying period of the summer Is some
times extended by the high feeding.
thus pushing the period OF molt-
ing. Some one conceived the idea
of starving the fowls long enough to
stop the production Of eggs and after
ward so feeding that the formation
of new feathers would be begun. II
was reported that great results were
obtained with this method. It does
not appeal to reason very much, but
the little experimenting that has been
done to discover what there Is In 1t
has given results favorable to the
method. At the Rhode Island experi-
ment station last year fowls that
were laying were deprived Of feed
on the 9Th of August and were made
to fast for 13 days. The hens finally
stopped laying eggs on the seventh day
of the fast. After the thirteenth day
of the deprivation Of food the fowls
were again given food little at a time,
but of highly heterogeneous nature. In
a short time the result was seen in
the formation Of new feathers, and with
in 30 days from that time the melting
was concluded and the hens began to
lay. This experiment was made with
Rhode Island Reds. Whether the re.
suits can be obtained always Is yet
to be proved. 1t is a matter, well worth
looking into.

THE SEASON FOR cULLlNG.
How Is the Time for Sending Every
Old and Superfuous Bird
to the Market.

The season is at hand when all loafers
In the poultry yard should be culled
out and sold. Ole hens, unlikely pull
lets and superfluous ROSTERS, young
and old, should be placed In fattening
quarters and fed for the market. 1t
pays either the fancy poultry breeder
or common market poultrymen to win
ter prime birds only. There is no
room to spare for ron-paying fowls,
and quite an amount is lost by keep
ing the culls that are found in the best
as well as the poorest fiocks.
F1lll-blooded poultry is always In de-
mand, and those who would sell at fancy
prices must be very careful to
closely Gull down to the best specimens
of varieties according to standard re-
quirements. The breeder makes a
mistake in keeping any fowls that
are understood or lacking in good nat
ural vitality though they come from
a high-priced strain. The best is none
too good for breeding purposes IN the
production of market poultry Just the
same as in the direction of the show
room. Culling severely now and keep
ing only the best is the way to get
business chicks next spring, strong
enough to get out Of the shell and
grow and thrive in spite Of the vicis-
situdes they may encounter during
growth. It Is q good plan to dispose OF
hens that are late in melting unless
they are OF extra value. Such hens
won't lay eggs enough in winter to
pay their board.
Spring chickens are fair price on
the market the latter part Of NSeptem-
Der. and the whole flock will be In bet
ter condition II they are sold closely
with the other surplus fowls at this
season. Then In November before the
first cold snap comes to cause them to
lose flesh, we fatten and dispose of the
rest Of the culls to give the laying
hens plenty Of room. Crowding the
poultry house causes disease and dis
comfort, and It is the healthy, happy
hens that lay the high-priceh winter

MUSHROOM GROWING
PROFITABLE INDUSTRY UNDER
PROPER CONDITIONS.
Temperature, Moisture and Soil the
Three Things Which Must Be
Closely Watched - Growing
Demand for the Fungi.

In the United States the term "mush'
room" refers commercially to but a sim
gle species (Agaricus campestris) Of
the fieshy fungi. q plant common
throughout most Of the temperate re-
gions OF the world, and one everywhere
recognized as edible. From the time Of
Pliny, and perhaps much earlier, this
plant has been sought as an article oil
diet, and it has been cultivated for many
centuries.
The successful cultivation Of mush-
rooms in America has not been so gen.
eral as In most of the European coun-
tries. 1t is in France and in England
that the mushroom industry has been
best developed. France Is properly
speaking, the home ofthe present mush-
room industry. Unusual interest has
been shown In the United States In the
growth of mushrooms within the past
few years, and It is to be hoped and exc
pected that within the next ten years

Potatoes as Feed for Hogs.

Potatoes are quite largely fed to
hogs, but 1t is found advisable to boil
them. In the New England states they
are fed extensively, being boiled IN
milk and mixed with meal In barrel.
Frequently several bushels are boiled
at a time, and when mixed with corn
meal make an appetizing mess. The
only fault to be found with this COM
bination is that It is badly out Of bal
ance. The potatoes are rich in starch
and so is the corn. To such of our
readers as are still following the old
practice We would advise the substitu.
ton of bran or of ground oats for the
cornmeal. This would make fairly
weli-balanced ration. The Canadians
say that potatoes have good effect on
the quality Of bacon produced. There
is probably no better use to which
small potatoes may be put than thia
st. Louis Republic.

During the present summer the Ital-
ian meteorological observatory on
Monte Rosa, at height Of 14,96O feet,
will be put into practical operation. An
observer will live on the summit during
the summer months. 1t is hoped that
the observations made there will prove
of special value in connection with, the
international balloon ascents, which
have now become a regular means OF
exploring the upper air. Monkeys and
balloons have been carried up Monte
Rosa for the purpose OF observing the
effects Of high attitudes upon them.
They appear to be more seriously az
fected than human beings are.-Youth's

the industry. will develop to the fullest
limit of the market demand.
Mushrooms may be grown in any place
where the conditions of temperature and
moisture are favorable. A shed, cellar,
cave, or vacant space in a greenhouse
may be utilized to advantage for this
purpose. The most essential factor, per-
haps, is that of temperature. The proper
temperature ranges from SO degrees to
60 degrees F., with the best from SIS de-
grees to IS degrees F. 1t Is unsafe to
attempt to grow mushrooms on COM
mercial basis, according to our present
knowledge of the subject, at tempera-
ture much less than so degrees or greater
than s. degrees F.
A second important factor is that Of
moisture. The place should not be very
damp, or constantly dripping with
water. Under such conditions success
full commercial work is not possible. A
place where it Is possible to maintain
fairly moist condition of the atmosphere,
and having such capability for ventila-
ton as will cause at least gradual
evaporation, is, by general practice and
by the most extensive experiment alton,
shown to be necessary.
In the growing Of mushrooms for COM
mercial purposes. the beds should bs
constructed of stable manure which has
been fermented or composted. Many ex-
periments have been made looking to-
ward the substitution Of other comp'sts
or waste products for stable manure, but
nothing has yet been found which may be
more highly recommended. Fresh
manure should be obtained, and this
should include the litter used for bed

The manure should be piled in heaps
about three feet deep when well pressed
down with the fork, and these piles may
be OF considerable extent. 1t should be
watered until we'll moistened through

four or Ave days or a week it will be nee
essary to fork over or turn" the
