Nests and Sitters.

"Whats in the nest, anyway some
one may ask. "a nests a nest says
another: as if there was no distinction
in nests. But there is.
In the first place, the eggs and the
sitter are in the nest, and the number
of chickens that may, or may not, come
forth from the eggs, depends to no
small extent on the character of the
nest. and its location. 1t does not mat.
ter, even in very cold weather, so much
where the nest is placed, as to how 1t
is constructed. Large hens require
large nests-nests that will receive the
eggs on a comparatively fiat. but
springy surface, and the hen with her
wings dropped about them at the outer
edge on either side, with also room for
her to place her feet on the bottom OF
the nest without crushing any Of the
eggs. The sides Of the nest for the
early sitters should have a soft, or
elastic rolled edge Of hay or other ma
terial about it, so as to confine the
eggs, and also aid the hen in keeping
them in the proper tempera lure. The
nest should also be in sh .ow box. or
directly on the ground with six-inch
siding, so that the hen will not be likely
to crush any when returning to her
place after feeding. And right here
is. perhaps, the most important point
Of all in securing good hatch. 1t Is
the liberty Of the sitter throughout the
whole period Of incubation. She must,
in order to get best results. be so situ-
atod that she can leave the nest and
re",lrn whenever she has the inclina.
ton to do so. Otherwise, she is apt
to become feverish. and her tempera-
ture irregular, which condition Will
surely result in some spoiled eggs. Con-
fininc the sitter and taking her from
the ncst-box to feed at our own con-
venience. IS a very bad policy.
Another thing. which is quite as bad
as the above. and which tends to
shorten the hatch, is the exposure or
the sitter to the annoyance OF the layers
of the flock crowdinG in her nest to lay.
This must not be allowed, If anything
like full hatch is desired.
The bestNplan is to put the sitter. or
several Of them if desired. in place
where they will be shut in from the
outsiders and yet have plenty of room
to move about in. and in which their
food and water should be placed. as
well as a good-sized box Of dust. But,
never should a sitter be shut in closely
on the nest. Such thing invites dis
aster.-H. B. Gecr, in Southern Guilt
YatOr.

the addition to the above fertilizer Of
200 pounds of lard plaster or lime will
make the yield much greater.

about twice that distance at first work
ing. 1t is cheaper in the end to use
a double quantity Of seed and save re-
planting, as the replanted hills do not
make half a crop.
The crop should be planted and cul-
tivated as nearly on level as possible.
For cultivation use side harrow or
small tooth cultivator until the last
working, which should be done with a
larger plow in order to throw more dirt
to the plants. 1t does not pay to let
them get grassy.

Cellars.
Much has been written lately about
fruit and vegetable cellars, and how
best to store the fruits and vegetables
to keep well. Some say that when
sweet potatoes are first put in the cell
lar they should be kept very warm for
about ten days to pass through sweat
in order to keep well, and afterwards
kept at an even temperature OF fifty
to sixty degrees Fahrenheit. But in
the Southern Fruit Grower, Mr.. ]. A.
Foreman says that fruits and vege.
tables must never be allowed to sweat
or get damp at any time I would
like to know which is the correct prin-
ciple or plan. Mr.. Foreman also states
that when the temperature falls below
forty-five degrees in sweet potato cell
lar they will chill and turn black in
spots andfwill soon rot. In my sweet
potato cellar the temperature has gone
down as low as forty degrees, and they
are keeping we'll so far.
Also two writer's I have noticed that
claim that an apple cellar should be
on the north slope Of hill to be cool,
and the door should open from the top
floor down and window on the side;
door aSd window open at night to
leave 3 cold air when necessary. Now
it SONS to me that a cellar on the
nor beast or east slope would be cooler
in summer than on the north slope, as
it would receive only the morning sur
when the air was cool, while the one
on the north slope would receive the
evening sun when atmosphere was
warm. and in winter the one on the
north slope would be more subject to
severe cold or changes. And why have
a window on the side and door down
from the top? I understand that Gel
lar ought to be dark to keep vegetables
and fruit best. Then why not have the
door at the end to enter easily to put in
or take out fruit or vegetables, and an
open ventilator through the top floor.
which can be closed when very cold?
I have a sweet potato cellar and cell
lar for Irish potatoes and fruits. They
both face to the east and have double
doors at that end and have ventilator
through top floor opening to room
above under the roof, which makes
them convenient to enter, put things in
or take them out, as they are only a
few steps down from east end door,.
They are easily ventilated. Have no
trouble to keep my fruit and Irish po-
tato cellar from thirty to forty degrees
in winter. If my principle is wrong. l
want to know it.-A. ]. Umlioltz- "f
