Feeding Old Hens.

AS long as the old hens will lay it is
not wise to market them, but they
must be closely watched in late sum-
mer and fall especially after they go
into winter quarters, so that if they
stop laying they can be prepared for
market as quickly as possible. 1t has
been found that old hens will lay into
the winter for a considerable period
if some pains are taken to feed them
during late summer while they are on
the range. One of the best foods for
this period is peas, using the field peas
and feeding them raw after being
cracked or cooking them and feeding
mash with bran.
This feed incites egg production and
keeps the hens in good condition with
out making them over fat; at the same
time they are in such good condition
that should they stop laying, they can
be fattened for market at small ex-
pense. The plan is worth trying, for
one of the losses of the poultry bust
ness comes from spending too much in
fattening the hens for market after
they have stopped laying.

4 prominent farmer and cattle gro "
er said, while paying f., S. & H. visie
that he dehorns his calves any time
after they are born and before the liz
cipient horn or button" becomes at
tached to the skull. For several weeks
after birth the coming horn can be
plainly felt with the fingers, a hard.
loose substance just under the skin.
With a sharp knife cut the skin over
the button" and then cut down
through its center when the two sec
tons can be easily removed. The pro.
cess is said to be much less painful
than killing the horn with caustic, or
than cutting it off after it is fully de-
yeloped And besides, the caustic
treatment often leaves an unsightly
bunch where the horn was intended to
be, while removing the embryo as sug-
gested leaves the head perfectly
smooth. Farm, Stock and Home.

heavy shoes, and if lighter ones were
substituted the animals could do more
work with less WEAKNESS. Heavy
shoes have no particular advantage ex-
cept for large truck horses on stone

Even in such cases it is doubtful if too
heavy shoes prove of any value. Ger

Lard or Cows, Teats.

A dairyman very strongly recon-
mends the use of lard upon cows teats
at milking time, saying: 1T is our
plan to have a small can of lard con-
veniently near where the milking is
done, and in cases of warts, ulcers,
chaps or bruises, it is applied regular
ly to the parts affected after each
milking until the trouble is removed.
A slight scratch or sore may look in
significant, but be painful to the cow
when grasped by the strong hand o.
the milkman. AS the sore is so ofteL
broken open during milking, it re-
quires long time to heal unless given
attention. II sometimes happens that
large teats become hard and rough
after weaving the calf; these are soon
rendered soft and pliable by the use
of lard. Rubbing with lard will also
quickly reduce Inflammation Of tie I'D
der. 1t will be no loss of time for
the dairyman to attend to these teat
troubles, for the cows will stand bet
ter while being MIXED, and there will
be much less crying over split milk,
and a greater yield will accrue at the
same time"

Food of the WHEAT Crnn.


A thirty bushel wheat crop weighs
straw from the soil, about forty eight
pounds nitrogen, twenty-one pounds
phosphoric acid and Twenty-Five
pounds potash. Wheat is absolutely
dependent upon the supplies of nitro
gen in the soil. If the nitrogen con-
tents in the soil were all available,
any ordinary soil would be able to
produce full crops of wheat for sew
eral years in succession. But the
wheat crop is not able to utilize the
soil nitrogen to its full extent, so that
the heterogeneous manures are particu-
larly beneficial 1t is the same also
with phosphoric acid and potash. The
very poorest soils contain ten times
the quantities of these constituents re-
quired by the wheat crop, but they
exist in forms in which they are of
no present use to plants. During the
warm weather certain bacteria are ac-
tive in the soil. and by their agency
the soil nitrogen is converted into
nitrates. Nitrates are exceedingly SOL
uble salts, but their formation in guam
tity commences after the crop has
ceased its active growth, they are not
assimiIated by the plant and are
washed out of the soil before the sue
ceeding crop can make use of them.
A cheap method of supplying nitrogen
for the soil is by means of what is
known as green manuring-NewE Eng
