Poultry Yard Pickings.

If the chickens must be penned up,
see that they have an opportunity to
get a good dust bath occasionally. Put
a half-pail of dust where they may
reach 1t.
The hen that steals away and Sc
cretes her eggs should be penned up.
Thus confined, and with a suitable
nesting place at hand, she will stop
this practice when again released.
An egg-eating hen might as we'll be
disposed Of by amputation of the head.
1t is a habit that is so hard to break
that the trouble is hardly worth the
value Of the offending fowl.
An egg is composed of a certain per

that an egg be formed these necessary
constituents must be supplied.

Getting q Potato Crnp.

In response to the query how to get
a good crop of potatoes an expert re-
plies: use plenty of good commercial
fertilizer and you will have no trou-
BILE" Very definite, is it not? The
writer thought it a good plan to put
this same question to an expert potato
grower, and the following is the sub
stance of his reply:
I'm a general way, one can get n
good crop of potatoes in a normal sea-
son If the soil used is well filed with
humus and is mellow and friable. The
seed must be first-class and be proper-
ly and thoroughly treated with forma-
lin for scab before being planted. OF
course, the soil must be well fertilized.
but more than all, the cultivation and
care Of the plants is essential. The
soil must be cultivated and the spraver
kept busy. Then, If nothing happens.
you'll have a good crop" While per-
haps this reply is not wholly satisfac-
tory, it at least gives one some idea Of
what is necessary in the way of ma
terial and labor.

Doors for q Hay Barn.

constructing doors when it is desired
to have the track extend out close to
the peak Of the roof. The large doors
should be about Z feet square, and
swing inside; above these a small door
2 feet square hinged at the top to
swing outside. This opening will be
sufficient for the track and head Of
fork, leaving the full space of the
large door for the loading Of hay.
When the lower doors are opened,
raising the tracking will open the up
per door, allowing it to lie upon the
trust rod of track, out Of the way Of
the carrier; when the track is lowered
it will shut, closing tight against the
top Of the lower doors. Both positions
OF the track, extending out ready for
use and lowered within the building.
