HARDPAM suBsolLs OF LITTLE
VALUE.

In buying a farm the first thing to he
done is to Nami the subsoil thoroughly
for if it lies near the surface and is hard
one cannot expect to get satisfactory re-
suits for the reason that it is unproductive.
the water lies too near the surface hence
evaporates readily in dry seasons; on the
ether hand the hardpan soil prevents the
growing plant drawing, on the reserve
water supply below this hard pan. OF
course such IL soil can be greatly improved
by cultivation and the introduction of
humus into 1t but this is hard and slow
work. We had a piece of soil like this and
for live years spent double the time getting
1t in shape than was spent on any other
portion of the farm. The subsoiler was
used and a number of crops of COW peas.
alfalfa and rye grown on it and plowed
under. After a time it got to be pretty de-
cent soil but it cost too much: therefore,.
avoid such soils when buying new ground.
HELPING CLEAN THE STABLES.
Even farmers who make it a business to
groom the cows regularly understand it
is not a pleasant task and they will well
come any plan which will save them some
of this disagreeable labor. One way of
doing 1t is to erect a frame so that the
part of it is about an inch above
the cows back just forward of the rump.
When the sow humps its back to void the
%droppings this frame strikes her back and
she instantly steps back which allows the
d%roppings to fall in the gutter just where

CARE OF THE BREEDING STOCK

nights shy OF seemingly good things. one
of these things which sounds well is to get
n vigorous male and mate him with from
twenty to thirty hens for the purpose of
saving the cost of another male. We tried
TINS once and it worked all right for the
iirst season solely because the male was
unusually strong and vigorous, but when
we came to mate him to a much smaller
Hook the second season many of the eggs
lain by the pullets were infertilc. The fact
OF the matter was, he was worn out with
his work the first year and utterly ruined.
IT is certainly unsafe to give a male more
than Il dozen females nd, unless he was a
