Cultivation of Garden Crops.

Frequent shallow cultivation should
be employed for most garden crops,
and during dry weather the depth
should not exceed 2 inches. BY keep
ing the surface soil well stirred what
is termed dust mulch is formed,
and while this layer of finely pulver-
lied soil will become quite dry, it pre-
vents the escape Of moisture through
the pores of the soil. A mulch con-
sisting Of fine manure, clippings from
the lawn, or any similar material,
spread to a distance of 10 or II inches
around the plants will preserve the
moisture; but the mulch should not be
so heavy or matted as to exclude the
air.
A crust forming over the soil after
n rain or watering is detrimental to
plant growth and should be broken up
as soon as the land can be worked.
To determine when the soil is suf-
ficiently dry for cultivation, apply the
same test Of squeezing together in the
hand as Is utilized in determining when
to pillow. Sandy soils can be worked
much sooner than clay soils after
rain. Too much Importance cannot
be placed upon the matter of thorough
cultivation of the garden, and IL the
work is promptly and properly done
there will be little difficulty in con-
trolling weeds.

PROFITS IN CHICKENS.
Crate and Machine Fattening Bring
the Highest Prices.
tt f. McGreW

Some time since we published an
article on poultry growing North and
West, and referred to the large num-
Der of fowls that are grown upon the
wheat fields of the Northwest and
which are purchased and shipped in to
the big packing establishments Of
Kansas City and other western centres.
The packers of the west have estab-
lished enormous finishing plants, as
they are called, for the feeding, fat
tening and preparing of poultry of all
kinds for market. Thefowls here are re-
ceived in large numbers, placed in
coops that hold from three to five
birds, according to their size, and are
"trough-fed'- is, they are fed a
mixture of ground meals properly pre-
pared in troughs, and permitted to
eat as much as they will consume,
from three to five times per day.
Poultry crate-fattened in this way
will continue to eat well and thrive
from nine to twelve days. So soon as
they cease to feed themselves raven
ously from these troughs, what Is
known as the examining machine is
brought into service. The manipulation
Of the examining machine must have
experience in the handling and feed
ing of the fowls in this way. The

"In another establishment, equally

covered with several hundred pounds
of cooked scraps of beef and other

dry, leathery, and unfit to be eaten;

They were seated in light wagon to
which was hItched team OF nurses.
The pin holding the wagon pole Iell
from it's socket allowing the pole to
come in contact with the horses legs,
which frightened the animals and they
started to run at break-neck speed.
In their mad dash and when near the
corner of North First and Main street,
the team colIIded with a telephone
pole, and the wagon was badly demol-
ished. The occupants were thrown
to the pavement with the injury to
Mrs. Lehman as previously stated.
Mr.. Lehman and the children were
more fortunate and escaped without
injury. Mrs. Lehman was given
assistance by DR.. Habhegger, after
which she was removed to her home.

of the wagon was also smashed. The
team continued and was finally cap
tured by John Solon on West Main
