THE oNE,HoRsE pLow


Having the ideal corn plant, the next
important thing in the production OF
big crops is the preparation of the
land, the feeding of the crop. The one
horse pillow has been the cause OF
more poor crop than any one other
thing. The gullies in hill have been
largely due to the scratch blowing
of the past. The shallow plowed soil
fills with water and runs off on the
hard soil below and gully is started
and Is annually enlarged by the frosts
Of winter. We need deeper breaking
of the soil to enable it to hold more
water for the crop and to withstand
droughts and to prevent washing

To very considerable extent. and
on consequent proftableness of the

Uusually it is not good economy to
turn the horses in the pastures all
night They will rarely secure the
rest they need from the work during
the day.
There is no feed that Is more di
gestible than gluten food. but if toe
much is fed it makes soft butter
From two to four pounds day may
be fed without fear of this.
Wait until there is fair bite Of grass
before turning the cows out. and then
give them two hours a day on pas
ture for few days. with good clover
and a grain ration for the remainder
of their feed.
It is better to cut seed potatoes Q
few days before they are planted. in
order to give the surfaces time to
dry. 1t is also good plan to ex.
pose seed potatoes to the light for a
few days before planting.
Success or failure of the poultry
season depends upon the days and
nights now passing.
Don't forget lime and gravel Both
are necessary in the poultry yard.
Be sure of clean water for the
chicks and keep their roosting places
clean.
Feed coops are very necessary to
keep the large chicks and fowls from
tramping the little ones to death.

VARIETIES AND PLANTING.

Newer kinds of potatoes are INTRO
duced every year, and many expert
ments have been conducted at the sew
eraI stations with the view OF dlscov-
ering remedies for diseases, MODES
of planting, characteristics of seed
and varieties, ETC., with the result OF
much valuable information being dis
seminated every year. In one OF the
Government bulletins is was stated
that the best soil for potatoes Is q
rich, sandy loan, well drained and
which is abundantly supplied WIN
vegetable matter Green manures
and fertilizers are consequently very
suitable for a crop. 1t is better not
to- grow potatoes on the same land
every year but alternate with otner
crops. Fertilize. should be applied
to the previous crop, rather than on
the potato land. The preparation OF
the land should be deep and thorough
and the fertilizers consist OF nitrate
OF soda, superphosphate and sulpnate
of potash Planting depends on the
climate. but should be done, II pos
sible. so as to bring the period when
the average rainfall is ample. on
mellow. soil from three to five incnes
deep is best for planting, especially
IL the season is dry, but on ea1her
crops, or in soils that bake, the
depth may be less. Harrow well be-

ture has given the best results. SEED
may be cut a few, days before plant
ing without injury, and New England
seed has proved superior to tnat
grown in this section. The eyes on
the seed end are tae first to germln-
ate. hence are best for an early CROP
The yield from planting the seed or
bud end is generally greater than
from the stem or butt end of the tub

yield may be considerably reduced.

TO HALTER A HOG.

To tie a hog is one of the most
difficult things in the hog raiser's ex.
perience. To tie by the leg requires
rope or strap to be drawn up so
tight as to cause pain if not real in
jury. Now try this plan: take horse
halter. slip over the hogs head stall
securely around the hog just back Of
fore legs, and you have him safely
battered, and in way he cannot hurt
himself. Then holding the strap and
walking behind you can readily drive
it anywhere desired-Lewis s. Alter.
in The Epitomist.

A COMFORTABLE COOP.

! We must not forget to provide suit
able quarters for the hen with her
brood of chickens. Various and cur
ious is the collection of contrivances
for enclosing the mother hen. Empty
half barrels set upright with alternate
slaves on one side cut to allow chicks
to run out and back; boxes OF num-
erous kinds; "a" shaped coops and
other devices are in use. Sometimes
the hen is left to find any shelter that
she can. A coop two feet square,
two feet high in front, one and one
half feet at the back with single
pitch roof produces safe and econ
omical home for the mother hen anu
her little flock. The front of the coop
mas slater door or frame door
covered with one inch mesh wire net
ting. A shutter hinged at top may
be provided for protecting the front
of the coop at night and during bad
weather. 1t may be fastened up for
shading the front of the coop when
the sunshine is too hot. II cats or
hawks are likely to disturb the chick
ems connecting yard at one or both
sides of the coop, one foot high, two
wide and three or six feet long, en-
closed and covered with wire netting
will keep in the chicks and exclude
their enemies. Both coop and yard
frame should be made Of light lum-
Der so as to be readily moved to fresh
ground. They must be placed where
the. chicks can keep dry under foot.
An excellent plan is to place several
coops for hens near together, let
ting the chicks intermingle from the
first-John M. Kester, in The Epit-
omfst. e
DEEP AND SHALLOW FLOWING.
The finer the condition of the soil
the easier the facilities allowed the
plants for feeding, and the greater the
feeding room the greater the quantity
of roots, which are essential during
times of drought and lack Of moisture,
to say nothing of the vigorous growth
and rapid progress of the corn by rea-
son of it's greater root surface. Many
controversies regarding deep and shall
low blowing would perhaps find an
amicable solution IL the nature Of the
soil and method of blowing were con-
sidered in exact relation to each other
Some farmers have found deep plow-
ing highly advantageous, especially on
clay soils, simply because the roots
were permitted to search through a
larger quantity of soil for food. and
also to more easily procure moisture
from below as well as though absorb
ton of moisture by the soil. Other
farmers have found deep blowing
highly advantagable especially on
light soils which assist in the estab-
lishment of greater mass of roots
near the surface while the porocity
of the soil and its light nature enable
the corn to go downward as easily as
may be desired.
