During the last year we have COM
pleteG permanent fences around our
main poultry building and from our
experience offer few suggestions.
Some permanent form of fencing is de-
sirable and necessary about all poultry
buildings and essential where pure bred
stock is kept and pens are kept sepa-
rate during the breeding season. Poul-
try netting, well galvanized and seven
ty-two inches WIDE is the only salts
factory fencing material and in order
to stretch it properly 4 scantling should
be mortised on edge in the top of the
posts for a top rail.
Posts are best set eight feet apart,
using 2 by As sixteen feet long for
tops. In order to make the fence as
lasting as possible we charred the butts
of the posts and filled in the holes with
rock and cinders; also put about six
inches of rock under each post The
posts should be sawed off FIVE feet and
a half from the ground and the netting
buried six inches. This prevents fowls
scratching and getting under the fence

securely. and then by pressing down

time and labor can be saved by stretch
ing the wire on the fence and then set
ting the frame for the gate against
the netting, when it can be stapled to
the gate without further stretching.

We have never before had so many
questions about fertilizers. They come
from all over the country. a large pro
portion from the west. We can easily
remember the time when he who talked
of using fertilizers west of the Missis.
sippi was regarded as wild man. Last
year in the state of Missouri alone near
~ 100000 worth of fertilizers were
used by farmers in addition to their
supplies of stable manure. In states
farther east the use of chemicals is be-
coming general This IS one thing In
which the west can learn of the east
There are eastern farms which were
producing good crops when the west
was a bowling wilderness. With the

farms are now Drkdueing more than
they ever did. says Rural New Yorker.

Its Successful Cultivation - Packing
For NEarlSet--GoOd Varieties.
For the successful cultivation of egg
plant continual perseverance and eter-
nal vigilance are necessary from the
time the seed is sown until the fruit is
ready for market, nearly six months.
Seed is soWn on March / in hotbeds
or dollhouse in rows three inches apart,
not too deep, as a quick start is neces-
sary on account of the tenderness of
the plant Before sowing the bed is
watered, well worked up and warmed
After the seed is sown the rows are
covered. with sand to insure quick
termination and prevent dampening.
After the plants are up large enough
to handle they are transplanted under
glass into five inch pots or six inch
sods. About June the plants are
ready to be set out after having been
well aired and toughened to withstand
any cool weather that may follow.
Land that has been we'll MANFRED is
then marked off in rows four feet each
way, a hole is dug at each cross line
for sod with plant to set in and ground
we'll pressed around the plant and wa
tered The field is then we'll cultivated
both ways between the rows with horse
cultiyators, after which the plants are
well hoed to keep the ground loose and
kill the weeds.
The fruit should be ready for market
by Aug Is, provided the bugs and
weather have not discouraged them
too much. The eggs are then cut and
packed in small crates holding from
thirty TO thirty six, according to size.
The best strain have as yet grown
is Purple Perfection, thornless, an inn
proved strain of New York and New
Jersey Purple. The last two seasons
eggplant culture has not been a howl
ing success on account of the wet and
cold weather interfering with the
plants to great extent, concludes an

turist.

Mr.. G. w. Zook essayed to sell off all
his poultry stock and thought he had
done So but afterward one pullet that
had escaped the poultryman's AK turned
up. One day Mr.. Zook found two eggs
one white and one brown, in the soli-
tary nest in the barn, and every day
thereafter for ten days he did the same
He had seen but one chicken about the
place, and it suddenly dawned upon
him that this pullet was doing double
duty in showing the superiority OF the
Missouri hen. So he set about watch
ing her. For three days he noted her
visits to the nest and found one white
and one brown egg. He knew there
were no eggs in the nest before the
hens visit and therefore concluded to a
certainty that for two weeks the hen
had laid two eggs day. Maitland

netting may be simply placed directly
