In order to get early eggs some ex-
ira feed in addition to the ordinary ra-
ton generally given by farmers is
needed. AS a rule the trouble on the
farm is that after corn is gathered
there is an overabundance of grain ly-
ing around, and in consequence the
fowls become too fat. All farmers
have hay to spare. At least they
should have, and q few pounds per
week fed to hens will greatly increase
the egg production. Glover hay is
best, but any kind Is good. Feed as
follows: Cut into as short lengths as
possible (one-fourth to one-half inch),
and in the evening fill q two gallon
bucket full, cover and place on the
kitchen stove and allow it to boil as
long as there is fire. When the morn
ing fire is built allow the hay to heat
again, then drain off the water and
mix with the hay three quarts of
wheat bran or enough to make II
crumbly. This will make nearly two
gallons of feed Give it to 100 hens as
n morning feed. Remember, this is
for cold weather and for fowls that
are at liberty on the farm.
Late in the evening supply what they
will consume of corn one day and
oats the next, and so on. Be sure to
give plenty of fresh water every day
and on very cold mornings it is a good
idea to make the water slightly warm.
If you do not, it will freeze at once
house has good, tight ends and sides,
and always front the house to the
south. The warmer the fowls are in
winter without supplying artificial
heat the more eggs they will lay and
the earlier they will become broody.-

Z to s available phosphoric acid and 4
per cent of ammonia scattered along
the rows and hoed in at the second
hoeing will greatly improve the crop.
The roots are dug the first season
late in the fall and pitted for winter
and early spring sales. The side roots
should be removed and cut in lengths
of five to six inches for planting. This
can be done in the fall before the roots
are buried for winter. The cuttings
can be tied in punches and buried until
spring, as frost does not injure them.
They may be planted as early in spring
as sthe ground can be worked. The
roots are generally washed.
The figure shows small root taken
from the ground last spring to show
how the side roots appear. These side
roots are often one to one and half
feet in length, and, think, sometimes
more. If the main roots are well grown
and trimmed they appear something
like a barrel of small parsnips in mar
ket, says Rural New Yorker CORE

In New EnuIand Orchards.

One method of renovating an old or
chard which +. W. Rane of New
Hampshire reports as successfully
used at the state experiment station
consists in breaking up the soil in
spring and after thoroughly preparing
it planting to dwarf peas or bush
beans. By this method the ground is
frequently cultivated, the pods pay fol-
the labor, and the crop is turned under
early enough SO that a cover crop car
be PLANTED.
1t is believed that the Hitchings
method of mulching the orchard by
moving and letting the crop remain
on the ground may possess some ad
vantages for New England. One in
stance is cited in which an orchard ol
about 10000 trees is thus cultivated.

Old TTes EuperstifIons.

The old Teutul!c and Saxon races
d central ae1 northern Europe, be.
fore the Introduction and spread of
Christianity, had great veneration for
trees. They would never willingly
damage them. Under large trees, espe-
cially old oaks, the great councils
were held and judgment given, and the
graves of this people were found in
groves, they always being buried un-
der the roots of tree This all was a
result of the superstition that their
gods lived in those trees. In the linden
tree Berchta dwelt, benign spirit who
took charge of the babies and rocked
their cradles when the nurses fell
asleep; in the oak, Donar, the thunder
god; in the willows all sorts of spirits,
in the elder trees the dwarfs. When
ever the festivals of these gods were
celebrated their trees were decorated
with ligEis ,, wreaths and questen (tas-
sels), and offerings were hung in the
branches which, however, were plum
dered ag' Ii when the festival was
over, the, IDS being supposed only to
appropriate the best.

TOMATOES UNDER GLASS.

eipe Fruit Produced In Forty-five to
Fifty Days by Checking the Plants.
The tomato is one of our most popu-
lar vegetables. 1t Is widely grown as a
market crop and is used for canning to
greater extent than any other Yege-
table. The constant demand for fresh
fruit the year round, especially in large
cities, has made the tomato profitable
forcing house crop, and many expert
ments by the agricultural stations to
determine the best varieties, methods
Of culture, etc, have been reported.
Commenting upon forcing expert
ments with standard varieties, Mr.. A.
c. Beal of the Illinois station calls at
tention to the fact that the greatest de-
mand for forced tomatoes begins after
frost has destroyed the outdoor crop
and lasts until the Florida crop comes
into market, usually in February. In
order to secure fruit by Thanksgiving
day the seed must be sown by July 20
and the plants benched not later than
Oct. J. Many tomato growers do not
Ing house under ninety to II hundred
days after benching, but the expert
ments Mt the Illinois station show that
not more than half this time is neces
sary by checking the plants it is pos
sible to secure fruit In fifty days from
benching."
The experiments at the Illinois sta
ton were with midwinter and spring
crops. For the midwinter crop Combi-
nation. Lorillard, Best of All and
Eclipse were grown. Seed was sown
Aug. 20 and plants benched Nov. Z
The first ripe fruit was picked Dec. p
from the varieties Combination, Loril
lard and Best of All. This was forty
seven days after benching. Eclipse did
not ripen until fifty-one days. Best of
All was the earliest and best of the
four varieties as regards yield during

the short, dull days OF December, Jan
uary and February. Eclipse gave the
largest total yield and produced the
smoothest and firmest fruits.
The Spring Crop.
For the spring crop Stone and Rosa
lind were grown In addition To the
four varieties grown in the winter eX-
periments. Seed was sown Dec. 70
and the plants benched April 10. The
first ripe fruits were obtained fifty
two days later With this crop Com
bination and Lorillard both yielded
three pounds of fruit per plant Best
of All three pounds six ounces ana
EcIipse three pounds seven ounces.
The average yield per square foot Tor
the two crops was about 2.3I pounds
When plants were trained to three
stems yield of 0.s pound per square
foot was obtained as compared with
1.25 pounds for plants set the same
day and trained to a single stem. The
average yield for the season, including
both the winter and spring crop, was
from two to nearly two and half
pounds per square foot of bench, or
from seven to almost nine pounds per
stem.
Checking the Plants.
In the above experiments as soon as
the plants We're large enough they
were potted in two and a half inch
pots containing fibrous potting soil and
afterward shifted to three and a half
inch pots. where they remained about
six weeks, when they were benched.
At this time they were all showing
open blossoms and were very much
pot bound. This checking of the plants
is considered the secret of the early
maturity of the fruits, since ''uncheck
ed plants come into bearing later, as
it takes time to fill the soil with roots
and thereby check the excessive
growth" The bench soil used was
composed of one-half rich garden loan
and one-half we'll rotted compost. The
soil was six inches deep in the bench.
Wood ashes were applied after the
plants were in full bearing. Plants
cen to twenty inches apart. The tenn
perature of the house varied from 40
degrees f. at night to 10 to so degrees
on cloudy days and as high as 80 de
grees on sunny days, but care was
taken to keep the temperature as uni
form as possible. Leaders were pinch
ed when the plants on the side benches
had reached height of five feet and
those In the center benches eight feet.
Shoots pushing out from fruit clusters,
as is common in rapidly growing
plants, were promptly removed.
