GOOD MONEY IN POULTRY.

A Pennsylvania schoolmaster living not far from Philadelphia owns forty acre farm near that metropolis which gives him larger income than he re ceives in his capacity as pedagogue
 Sixteen acres are devoted to growing DO tatoes and fourteen to corn, while the re- maining ten are given over to the rais- ing of poultry. On this plot he aims to keep from 1000 to 1,200 laying hens the year round, which give him an an nual income of about $3,50O. He neve;' keeps hen over a year old and sells all cockerels that he does not need for his own use at three months old. He raises White Leghorns exclusively and has contract with leading Philadel- phia hotel which gives him 50 per cent above prevailing market prices on his entire egg output on condition that he is to receive nothing at all for any case of 360 eggs in which a bad or stale egg is found. He aims to give his hens fresh clover pasture all of the year possible and enough range so that they are always clean, He buys yearly the best representatives of the breed that he can find and selects the best layers from his own flocks for his; breeding pens. His success IS due not only to thoroughbred poultry. but the best in the way of poultry houses and conveniences and thoroughbred care.

SEED TERMINATION.

nearby reader of these notes writes inquiring what is the lowest tempera- ture that will properly germinate tested seed corn. In reply to our correspondent we would say that, while we have nev- CT made germinating test at varying temperatures and have never read re ports of such test, it will not be diff flcult to give him the information that he really desires. In seed germination of any kind it Is we'll to keep in mind that in addition to moisture and a seed bed certain amount of heat is requir- ed to wake the sleeping germ to life. In the testing of seed corn it is best where possible to have about the same temperature prevail that would normal ly exist when the seed were placed in the open ground at planting time While such temperature varies with different seasons, with different days and from night to day. it would proba- ply run from 60 to 75 degrees F. A further fact that should be kept in mind is that while the best seed would show little germinating power below 30 degrees, seed that are dead or of weak vitality will not make respect able showing at any temperature. We believe that it would be safe to say that 60 degrees is the lowest tempera ture at which seed corn could be given a fair and satisfactory test.

MAN MORE THAN METHOD.

1t seems to be the consensus of opin- ion that in the care and management of the public roads, while a great deal depends upon the system which is fol lowed, even more depends upon the in- diyiduals in whose hands are placed the administering of the road laws and the superintendence of the road work. This was given emphasis in a recent farmers institute which the writer at tended, it being agreed that better road work was done under the old sys- tenn of paying the tax in days work with competent supervision t,ian un- der the present cash system in c,;Se the road work was placed in careless or indifferent hands. Where good super intendcnce is to be had under both cir cumstances the cash system is general ly viewed as preferable.

ABUSE OF PASTURES.

At recent farmers institute which the writer attended considerable at. tention was quite properly devoted to a discussion of farm pasturage, ern- phasis being placed especially upon the folly of overpasturing, both from the standpoint of harm done to the pasture and loss sustained by the stock raiser through having his animals insuffi- ciently fed and as consequence stunt ed in their development. One stock raiser of experience cited the follow. ing cases which had come under his own observation: One season with short pasturage bunch of steers made a gain during the season of 120 pounds each. Estimating the animals as worth $4 per hundredweight, this meant a gain of $4-8O per head. Calling the pasturage worth 8 an ncre. the rental value of the land, there was a profit of $1.SO per acre for the season. An other bunch handled by the same feed CT after he had profited by his earlier experience were allowed a range of two acres each. At the end of the sea- son they had made a gain of 330 pounds per head Being thrifty and of better quality. these last brought $4.50 per hundredweight, total gain during the season of $14.85. Subtracting the cost of pasturage, $6 per head for the two acres. leaves a net gain of $8.85 per head and u net return on each acre of $4.42. While there might be many cases in which the results would not be so striking as in the instances cited, the underlying truth involved is one that every stock feeder should think over carefully. Added to the handi- cap of pastures being overstocked are often found the other abuses of turning stock on to them in the spring before they get fair start and of allowing them to be pastured too late in the fall. With proper handling there is no piece of land on the average farm that can be made to give larger return than a good pasture, and this, too, with the expenditure of practically no labor and with the exhaustion of none of its fer tility, but rather an increasing of it. If a pasture gets good start In the spring and Is strong it will carry two cattle for every three acres If more than this number are put on, 1t will quite likely result in financial loss at the end of the season.

AS the result of a gradual yet al- most complete denudation of many wa tersheds in the Appalachian mountain system cities and agricultural lands in the territory referred to are now all most completely at the mercy of spring rains and freshets. 1t is conservative ly estimated that the damage done in central eastern states last season alone amounted to nearly $10O,0OO,OOO, while similar flood damage, if on a smaller scale, was inflicted by the freshets Of February and is likely to be repeated before the season of spring rains Is over Perhaps in no other way is the pressing need of preservation of our wooded areas being emphasized than in this terrible havoc which Is being annually wrought by floods and fresh- cts.
