Caring for Chicks.

When chicks are removed from the
incubator to the brooder great care
should be taken that they do not be-
come chilled. The floor Of the brood
er should be covered with fine, clean
chaff. Fine sand and clean water
should be in the brooder from the be-
ginning. All the fine, dry bread
crumbs they will pick up every two
hours should constitute the feed for
several days, gradually adding rolled
oats, hardboiled eggs, cracked wheat,
johnny cake, millet seed, ETC. Milk and
water should always be kept in the
fountains. When three weeks old
make mashes of bran, meal middlings,
beef scraps, table refuse, all salted to
season and mixed together with skim

thrown into the brooder in the place

Hoed CroDs in the Orchard.


The best orchardistS are ayerse to
growing anything in the orchards but
the trees even when the latter are
young They argue, and properly, that
the growing trees need all the virtue
there is in the soil and that If the ap-
pie crops in future years are to be OF
any value they must be provided for
during the earlier years of the trees
There are fruit growers, on the other
hand, who insist that hoed crop will
be Of benefit to the trees, and that this
may be consireded so under certain
conditions and up to certain limits.
If the soil in the orchard is kept up
to the highest state of fertility so that
the trees will not suffer the want OF
the portion Of the fertilizer taken by
the hoed crop, then the latter can do
no harm, indeed, it will be of value
because the soil will receive a certain
amount of cultivation which, perhaps
would not be given it if it We're not
for the hoed crop. Work the hOed
crop in the orchard cautiously, and
watch the effect on the trees.

Pigs Do Well on Alfalfa.

When your pigs weigh about fifty
pounds each, turn about twenty-five
head in an acre Of alfalfa pasture and
they will make a gain Of about 100
pounds each during the growing season,
says an Indiana farmer. They will
need no other feed, but can be given a
supplementary feed of grain if you
wish the gain to be better. From this
you can figure up fine return for the
use of an acre of alfalfa-2,500 pounds
Of pork, worth at the low figure of 81
per 100 pounds, S1OO But prices are
much higher now and you can get
more for your pork. Again your hogs
will almost always be free from any
disease.
