How to Induce Fall Laying

A little care and additional
attention and work with the
hens on the place at this season
will be we'll repaid. This is the
beginning Of the moulting, or
shedding Sc son, and good
many OF the hens are not laying.
and will not lay some two or
three months under the usual
course Of neglect and Indifference
on the part of their owners And
yet, il S possible to get goodly
number cf fall eggs, if We will go
at it right
To induca fall laying, he hens
should have a variety Of foods
not a great deal of any one kind,
but little of several kinds. For
this purpose, all the waste of the
kitchen and the dining-room
should be saved and given TO
them. The best plan is 10 have
a good sized pot handy, and throw
all scraps into it. Let it sit at
the back of the kitchen stove;
at the close of either the close of
either the break fast, or midday
meal, put some oats, or wheat
in it too, with water, and soak
all together. 1t will not take
long to do it, and then when
cooled off some, call up the hens
and give it to them. II will start
them to singing and running abou,
in happy way, and soon also start
them to the nest, and some of
them laying all through the au-
tumn and fall.
In addition TO the eggs this
system will bring, it will also
keep the hens healthy and Wig
orous and enable them to shed
and reclothe themselves in new
feathers earlier than otherwise.

A Better Way Than Pull
] ing Fodder.

ten against fodder pulling. Some
claim that it does not pay, and
others that it Injuries the corn.
We take the position that when
q crop is raised it should be har-
vested, and our plan is 10 &c
ahead and do it. The time to
think about whether a cop will
pay, is before it is planted. AT
ter it is planted the thing to do
is to work it and house 1t. So
we advise every farmer to save
his fodder. We advise the pull
ing of fodder unless a better plan
can be followed 1t will injure
the corn very little if it is not
pulled TOO soon. 1t Is we'll to
remember that corn can easily
be injured and this should cause
the fodder pulling to be put off
until the proper time.
We have learned better way
than TO pull our fodder. For
several years we cut the tops and
put in large shocks, using binder
twine to tie them near the top
of the shock. They were allow
ed to stay in the shock two or
three weeks until they were
dry and then were stacked or
hauled and placed away in barn
or under shelter to be fed to
horses or cattle. The fodder
from the ear down was pulled
and saved in bundles, the regu-
lar old way.
The new.ground corn and bot
tom land corn which was usually
planted late and ripened in Sep
lember when there was not Of
ten much rain, we cut and shock
stalk and all. Gradually we have
cut more and more of corn until
now we have decided to cut and |
shock it all this year. Expert /,
ments have proven that stalk and
fodder and shucks are worth near
~ as much as the corn itself and |
we cannot afford to lose so much.
The corn when, saved this way
should be put in large shocks,
we'll tied near the top.
Whea the corn aud stalks are
both dry the shocks can lie taken
down, the corn being pulled off
as this is done. The stalks can
be fed to stock as they are haul
ed from the field, or they can be
re-shocked in the field, or they
can be brought out and put up in
much larger shocks in the lot or
put under shelter. There is very
little danger of any rot or falling
down if the shock is properly |
made This plan gets the stalks
out Of the fields where they are !
so often In the way and puts
them in the stables and lot, Just
where they are needed to make
manure, after they are eaten,
and most of then will be eaten.
If you have never cut and
shocked corn we suggest you try
1T on part of your crop This is
a good way to start. We do the
cutting with case knives, but re-
gular corn knives can be bought
for this work. The poorer the
corn the better it pays 10 cut it.

The Nature of Vetch and
When and How to Plant

about the cultivation, etc, of
vetches and having long expert
ence OF its superior value, thought
| would write you little on the
subject, particularly as this is a
very rainy day. Vetches, or tares
as they are more often called in
England, have been grown there
for the past century. They are
of two distinct varieties, winter
and spring. This should be thor
oughly understood by those
seedsmen who handle them, as
they will be a total failure ii
planted at the. wrong season.
Winter vetch sown In spring
will make such poor crop as to
disgust the grower and his fever
for growing it will end there
spring vetches grown In winter,
will generally grow few inches
and disappear the first good frost.
Veiches should be planted any
time in the South from middle
of September to first of Decem-
ber- October being the ideal
month for best results In the
drier and warmer parts OF the
South. Vetches require a we'll
drained soil; will thrive anywhere
that corn or cowpeas grow, but
will make a much greater amount
of green feed per acre than COW
peas and easier to handle. They
cover the land fully as dense as
velvet beans are much more
nutritious than COW peas and
improve the soil more. Planted
IN September or October Of d
mild winter, can be used for
soiling In February. Cattle aud
horses will eat them all clean as
they do not grow hard and woody
at the butt ends; they grow a !
dense mass from two to four
feet high; have little joints about
every six inches with small little
leaves all around; lots of these
are shed off, particularly on the
under part much like the velvet
bean, but the main stem never
hardens nor twists up like th at |
vine; it has several blossoms on
the top joints and makes pods
of one to two inches with three
to six inches in each, nearly
black, about the size of No. 8 or
4 shot; when these blossoms be-
gin to drop and pods form, then
veich is in it's best.
| have known horses to do
heavy work fed entirely on them
and a small feed of grain once a
day and for milking cows no
other soiling crop will equal
them; for working horses they
should be cut when dew is of;
let remain until evening and put
in barn to feed next day; chopped
up and fed to hogs with little
shorts and milk, will make them
grow like mushrooms.
