Pecan culture is getting a substan-

Roofing Poinsettias.

Many growers have trouble in root
ing their poinsettia cuttings. 1t is a
good plan about a week before taking
the cutting from the parent plant to
make a nick or uppercut in the stalk
at the place it is intended to take the
cutting. This may be done in much
the same way that cut is made in a
rubber plant before wrapping it with
moss, though the knife should not go
too deep, as very slight cut will
bleed a poinsettia. In about week
a callus will have formed, and the cut
ting should then be removed and
placed in the sand. It will root better
than one which has not been so treat

HethOd of Aiding Fowls to Get New
Coat of Feathers.
The intent of any assistance offered
fowls IN casting of the old and dom
ming the new feathers is to put the fe-
males in condition to take up the work
of producing eggs through the winter
months, and by means Of forcing the
mott this reason is obtained, says Ne
braska Farmer.
The method employed Is, simple In
the extreme and along the lines adopt
ed by nature, as seen when one comes
to study the matter Years ago well
known breeder In New Yt4s conduct
ed some valuable experiments along
this line. and all succeeding expert
ments have employed the principles laid
down In that experiment. Food Is with

about two weeks, causing the surplus
fat on the frame to be Consumed Fol

rich in feather forming qualities is EN-
ployed, and the results have proved
very satisfactory.
The West Virginia station gave the
system test with results that were
highly gratifying, using pen each Of
Rhode Island Reds and White Leg
horns, which were placed in yard 10
by 100 feet, 10 feed except such as they
were able to pick up in the run being
given them. AT the end of thirteen
days they were fed liberal ration of
mash, beef scraps, corn, wheat and
oats. The hens ceased laying on the
seventh day after the test began At
the end of thirty days they had practi-
cally new coat Of feathers. At the
end of five weeks nearly half the flock
were laying regularly. Other pens Of
hens allowed to forage and fed regu-
larly throughout the time of the test
We're only beginning to molt and egg
production had fallen to only a few
eggs from the entire number daily.
On the farm hens are seen in all
stages of the mott from August until
December In fact, hens are sometimes

weather.
Hens that do not mott early seldom
lay before spring, so it behooyes us to

Dairy Farm Wisdom

The fellow who Is starting into the
dairy business to win should fight shy
Of the combination cow that he Is told
will produce beef and milk at the same
time. Whenever the dairyman at
tempts to follow these two roads at
the same time the result will be a

Clean the Milk Cams.
1t Is easy to get the milk cans In a
foul condition when used to carry milk
or cream to market unless they are
washed thoroughly after using. Don't
kick If your cans of milk or cream are
returned marked "Not Fit For Use"
but rather correct the "evil Of your
ways"
Kindness Pays at the Pail.
Cleanliness, kindness, regular hours
and thorough stripping all count for
profit In the milk pail.
A Profitable Cow.
A Wisconsin man fed one of his
cows $50 worth Of feed last year, and
her pasture, feeding, milking and
stabiing cost S11.50 more, making her
total cost $7150. But she produced
800 worth of butter, $3.50 worth of
manure, 81 worth Of skim milk and a
calf worth IS, making her total in

The Man and the Cow.
If the right man gets the right kind
Of dairy cows success Will be his, but
right cows it is questionable whether
he will succeed If the wrong man
gets wrong cows he is sure to fzzle
out in the dairy business.
Good Combination.
The dairy cow and the hog make an
excellent combination. Not only do
they pay well, but they take their fer
tiiity from the farm. Let us have
more '.cow-hogs combines, and then
we will hear of less farmer farm-sep-
arators.

have the cream ripened properly, churn

Chicken Notes.

While there is no good reason why
the farmer should not have as good
fowls as the fancier, It is an exception
al case when it will be best to keep
more than one good breed on the farm.
II soft feed or milk is fed in troughs,
care must be taken to keep clean,
scalding out regularly; otherwise there
is considerable danger of disease.
Culls will come out with the best of
breeding. but If they are slaughtered
early in life they win not produce 9th
ers.
In starting with poultry it is ever
well to remember that chickens require
the best of attention from shell to ma
turity if good results are to be OBJ
tanned.

Cumming of Peach Trees.

Excessive cumming of peach and
plum trees may be relieved by Sitting
the bark and the first layer from the
ground to the branching, making the
Sits about three inches apart. The
trouble may be termed hide bound, the
sap cannot flow as it should and bursts
its bounds. The cuts give the tree a
chance to clear itself and resume
healthy action. e. S. Starr
