Forcing Fowls to NIonlt.

Many poultrymen have tried the so
called Van Dresser plan of forcing
fowls to moult early and have met
with varying degrees Of success. The
plan consists of placing the fowls in
a run OF rather limited dimensions and
giving them as little food as possible,
and vet sustaining life for two weeks.
The writer tried the plan for the
second season last year and with sat
isfactory results in the case of Leg
horns. but only fair results with
Plymouth Rocks. The plan of feed
ing was to scatter in the runs some
small grain like wheat. mixing with
il a small quantity of oil meal. The
quantity was sufficient to give each
fowl about the equivalent of a tea
spoonful of grain, provided she got
her share.
AT the end of two weeks the hens
were again fed literally and ON the
usual variety of rations. The expert
nlent was made in August and in four
weeks most of the Leghorns had their
new stock of feathers and were be-
ginning to lay. The Plymouth Rocks
dragged along for from six TO ten
weeks before ali of them We're laying
again. There is enough in the plan
to warrant trying il and if the results
obtained with the Leghorns could be
generally brought about il would give
pouItrymen eggs much earlier in the
fail than now.

Grass in the Orchard.

Horticulturists and fruit growers
have long known that grasses are in
furious to young apple trees, but it
seems that they were wrong in at
tributing the injury to interference
with the air, the water and the food
supply of the trees. Carefully con-
Quoted experiments and observations
at the Wodburn experimental fruit
farm in England have shown, how
ever that there is some direct or in
direct product of grass growth that
has an active poisonous effect on the
roots of the trees. 1t is also suggest
ed that the so-called exhaustion of
the soil by certain plants, preventing
the subsequent growth of other plants
in the same ground, may be due really
to some poisonous product left by the
first plants.
