To do this you must have yourself I'M

is a good seller on the market.
The southern farmer is a natural
born lover of good horse, and the
south has been the home of the thor
oughbred for probably two centuries.
In the past twenty five years, how
ever, the southern farmer has been pay
ing more attention to the light harness
breeds.
AS early as 1888 the Hon. Henry
Fairfax of Lauden county, Virginia,
made a trip to England for the pur
pose of purchasing Hackneys for breed
ing purposes. While there he bought
the great Hackney stallion Matchless
for $50 guineas and the Hackney mare
Go for $1,000. After standing Match
less for many years in the stud on
his farm he sold him for the round
sum OF $4,000. From the Hackney
mare Go he sold colts to the value Of
$21 900.
Some years ago the Rockingham

Virginia, purchased the imported Hack

1t may be said of the Hackney that

so that the poultry will be dry and
comfortable, with an abundance of
scratching space. On the farm dry
scratching space may be arranged for
chickens in some unused shed or on the
barn floor Allow them the full run
of the barn during the day. They will
scratch out and consume much waste
feed and the exercise under dry shelter
will do them good.
Make poultry conditions such that
the laying hens will be busy at all
times hunting for their feed. The ac
tive hen, all things considered, is 1.-The
laying hen. If conditions are such that
chickens sit around in groups all day
it is a pretty sure sign that there is
not much egg laying going on among
the flock. Chickens will scratch for
grain until the last if it is scattered in
straw or other litter
Variety of feeds counts for much in
egg production with chickens. They
should have variety of feeds-corn,
wheat, oats, wheat bran and all other
rich seeds and foods that can be Sc
cured. Cut or mashed bone is a splen-
did food given in small quantities two
or three times a week. An occasional
cooked mash of meat, table scraps,
wheat bran, cornmeal and some good
poultry food will make the hens sing
a new tune. The singing of the hens
is cheerful music; it appeals to the
pocketbook as well as to the other
senses-money counting as the sixth
sense in poultry culture.

FERTILIZER FOR THE GARDEN

Occupiers of allotments or cottage
gardens will soon be busy. weather be-
ing favorable, in getting in the ground
their potatoes and sowing peas, beans,
onions and parsnips. Numerous exper-
iments have proved the high value Of
a mixture of artificial manure for po-
tatoes consisting Of four hundredweight
Of superphosphate and two hundred
weight of sulphate of ammonia and
two hundredweight of sulphate of
potash per acre.
This dressing should give good crop
even when no farmyard manure is
available, though ten tons per acre Of
that manure is a valuable addition.
When the last is applied the sulphate
of ammonia and potash may be re-
duced by one-half ton each. Trials
have proved that these manures pro-
duce their best results when placed in
drills under the seed potatoes. Crow
ers who plant only few rods may
have difficulty in getting locally small
quantities of the artificial manure
named, but there are some large town
firms which sell them by the bag. A
ready made potato manure from firm
of high reputation may answer equally
well, although it will cost a little more
than it's constituents would when they
Of the soil without bringing the sub
soil to the top is a great security
against drought.

TRANSFORMING SEEDLINGS

1t frequently happens that the home
grown seedlings come on quite as
quickly as the greenhouse ones. even
though smaller when placed in the
garden. This was apparent in a marked
degree last year to the writer in the
case of tomatoes. Some plants a few
inches high of the Earliana variety
were set out and a little later four ex-
cellent greenhouse specimens were Sc
cured. They were thrifty large and
just ready to bud, and the prospect of
having an early treat from them was
most promising. But though extra pre-
caution was taken against whiting one
died and the change from artificial con-
ditions was a shock from which the
rest recuperated slowly. Meantime the
home grown plants forged ahead and
ripened fruit a week or two in ad-
vance.
Before transplanting any young plant
it is wise to let the roots soak in water
several hours. By this time the pores
are full of water and the plant is much
less prone to wilt Choose a cloudy
day or plant at sunset, SO that the
plantlet may have all possible chance
to get righted before the hot sun strikes
it. If it can be kept from whiting a
great advantage is gained as the
growth is not checked. This may seem
a small matter, but it means a great
deal-not only saving of a week in
the growing period but perhaps ii
avoids the repairing Of lost vigor.

fore setting the Seeding, firm the earth
about the roots and protect with leafy

NOTES BY THE WORKING FARMER

Do whatever is to be done in the
most perfect and complete manner pos
sible and make every acre of the farm
produce to it's utmost capacity.
The practice of breeding stock be-
fore it has thoroughly matured has a
tendency to weaken the constitutional
vigor and make the progeny an easy
prey to disease.
Feed regularly Stock soon becomes
accustomed to feeding at a regular
time and if they fail to receive their
food at that time they become restless
and uneasy.
In bringing the stock of any sort up
to better average it is quite as i'm
portant to weed out all bad qualities as
to introduce new good ones.
Profitable stock implies steady
growth from the start and it will pay
to keep less number and secure this
than a larger number and be obliged to
stint their feed.
No defect in any piece of mechanism
can correct itself, neiether does any
defect in our domestic animals disap-
pear unless it is bred out.
1t is not token of thrift or perna-
nent gain to have the farm implements
standing in the field where last used,
exposed to sun and storms, shrinking,
| Warping and rusting.
| Generally variety Of grasses and
thick seeding is best for pastures. No
one variety contains all the elements
needed for a perfect food in the exaos
proportions required. A variety avere
| ages up better.
If stock is to be kept growing it Is
necessary that they should be fed well,
/ but avoid waste. To do this give all
they will eat up clean, but no more.
1t is part of the farmers business to
study the capacities of his farm and
then learn everything possible about
lie methods of producing most cheap
iy what his farm is best adapted to.
See that the young orchard trees are
| properly pruned into a good shape now.
If done when they are small there will
be little call to saw off large branches
as they grow older.
Good feeding has much to do with
early maturity, but the foundations for
it lie in the breed. Start right and all
the rest is easy, including the solu-
ton of the question of profit.
One drawback to specially farming
is that it sometimes causes one to
neglect producing the things that are
needed for home consumption; when
all the household bills have to be paid
out of the special crop it detracts from
profits.
When possible it is always good pol
icy to sell in a rising market, even il
you do not hit, the very top you get
a price that is above the average.
When selling in falling market the
reverse is true.

SHALL CITY MEN TURN FARMERS I?

That is question often asked by
men who are now holding places Of
some kind in the city. In the hearts
Of most of US there is a longing to
get out and buy a place where the
smell of the soil may rest and build
us up again in body and SOUL both of
which have been worn out by the
never-endng friction Of the city.
1t is not an easy question to answer.
Men differ in mind, body and educa-
ton Not every man could become a
farmer, no matter how hard he might
try OF how anxious he might be to try
it. Not every woman could ever fill
the place of a farmers wife, for there
are problems to solve in the home of
the farmer that call for most peculiar
ability on the part of his wife.
The best that can be said to the men
and women who are seeking advice as
to changing from town to country is
this: Do not cut off from the old home
and it's life all at once. If you feel
that you must turn farmers look about
you a little for small bit Of land not
too far away from your present home
Try that for while, still holding your
place in the city where you have a
stated salary or steady profit from
business. If you see that you succeed
with this and feel that you must have
closer touch with the country it is
easy to get it, while if you cut loose
all at once you may regret it for al
time and really make the mistake OF
your life.
And be sure of one other thing: The
man who says that anybody can be g
farmer is mistaken. Only really smart
men make good farmers.

IN THE POULTRY YARD

1t pays to keep pure bred poultry.
Good stock requires no more feed and
care than scrub stock, but the returns
ire much larger and the pleasure Of
handling them is much greater
Secure new breeding poultry early.
DO not wait until the spring breeding
season arrives, for then the best breed
ars have sold their best fowls. In 'pur-
chasing early you can purchase more
cheaply than by waiting. The present
demand for good breeding stock of all
kinds is SO great that breeders will
ask large sums for all stock carried
over the winter. Male birds will also
give better results if purchased now
and kept with the flock for several
weeks before the breeding season
opens.
Arrange buildings and other quarters

OATS NEED GOOD SEED BED.
Usual Practice Is to Sow on Corn
Ground and Cover Seed
With Disk.

Less attention is given to oat seed
ing than to most any other crop. The
seed is usually scattered broadcast on
the corn ground and then disked in.
The farmers who plow and properly
are the exception, but experiments have
shown that the time spent in prep,
aration of the seed bed for oats as
well as other crops is not wasted.
The department of soils at the Iowa
experiment station sent out circular
letter to the farmers of Iowa in 1905
inquiring as to the preparation of the
seed bed. Four hundred and fifty-two
replies We're received. They answered
as follows: 3.4 per cent put oats on
other than stalk ground, 3.5 per cent
raked and burned corn stalks, ola per
cent broke the stalks, while TIT per
cent neither broke, narrowed nor burned
the stalks. Only 1873 per cent disked
the ground before sowing the oats,
1871 per cent disked both before and
after sowing and 70 per cent disked
after sowing. Nine per cent narrowed
! both before and after sowing, IL per
cent narrowed ground before sowing
and 975 per cent narrowed only after
sowing. There were no reports Of roll
ing small grain and only 81 per cent
narrowed small grain after it was up.
1t will be observed that practically
all sow oats on stalk ground and that
II per cent sow on the unprepared
ground. Almost all harrow in the oats
after seeding, while 20 per cent disk
the ground after sowing.
The burning of the stalks may be
considered a wasteful practice. Soils
| in general are in need of humus maxi
ing material A good sharp disk will
cut the stalks up very we'll. However,
it will have to be admitted that the
seed bed can be put in much more
satisfactory condition for receiving the
Seed insuring a more even stand, when
| the stalks have been broken down,
raked and burned. Many stalks inter-
fere with an even covering of the seed,
| especially in cases Where the stalks
have not been pastured and are heavy.
If the disk be sharp most of this
trouble can be eliminated To prepare
a suitable seed bed for oats, corn stalk
ground should be disked at least twice,
| tapping the disk half, and in addition
to this it will pay to double harrow.
Some seasons may require more disk
ing. Seldom can the seed bed be pre-
pared with less The disk drill will
be found especially suited for put
ting in oats on stalk ground.
AS to whether the ground should be
narrowed afterward depends largely
upon conditions. In general it is not
necessary when a good seed bed has
been prepared beforehand. 1t is essen
tial that the seed be covered and as
evenly as possible at depth Of from
one and half to two and a half
inches. deep seed bed is not recon-
mended, as oats respond better to one
more firm; three to three and one-half
inches in depth is sufficient. 1t is all
important that the seed bed for oats
be properly prepared before the oats
are put in.
