would 1t not be better to build more

trouble and expense OF continually
improving them?~ Let us consider
this matter. The carpenter usually
thinks that any kind of~wood will do
for a henhouse. and in that he is
much mistaken. Only the well sea-
soned wood should be used. for
when the damp days arrive, the house
having no heat in 1t, the boards will
shrink and expand until they are out
of shape more or less, and then there
are cracks to contend with. Use the
best wood in the first place.

which opens and shuts with the great

Enclosed with lath or narrow strips,
placed two and q half to three inches
apart. The top should be covered
with q good grade Of roofing paper to
make It waterproof. A coop OF this
sort should be two to two and q half
feet long, sixteen inches deep and
not less than twenty inches high,
while two feet would be better.
The simplest coop is the common
| A-shaped coop. It is quickly and
easily made. This coop may be con-
| structed either with or without a
floor. A floor is desirable, except dur
ing warm weather and where the
soil drains quickly.
The box COOP shown in the second
sketch in some respects is preferable
to the A-shaped coop, for in the lat

near the middle of the coop, while
with the box coop the entire floor

chickens. The box coop is also more
easily cleaned.

it up by putting humus vegetable

pointed shovel plow, with burrows
five feet by five feet. Two men can
plant to advantage. One mar Win a
mattock makes a hole every five feet
at the crossing of the burrows; the
other carries the plants in a basket
hung over his shoulder, places the
plant in the hole, overs the roots and
presses the earth tight around the
roots with his feet. Roots should pc
spread out in the hole as much as
possible when planted. When the
land cannot be checked with a pillow,
poles placed at each end OF the field
can be used for marking, and the
holes dug with a mattock in a line
between the poles, and the rows can
be kept straight in one direction by
means Of them, while the distance
can be stepped in the other. In fields
which are partly stocked with cedar,
sassafras, pine or other trees, only
the blanks or thin places need be
planted, the planted trees being
spaced about five feet apart in holes
dug with a mattock. Red oaks can
be planted among s~assafras sprouts,
and if the sprouts are not too thick
the oaks will soon outgrow them.
When two species are mixed in a
plantation they should be a~lternated
in the rows.
Time to Participating can be
done in any mild weather after Mo-
vember /, but 1t is preferable to do
it during February and March, espe-
cially in the case Of pine. It costs
too much to cultivate trees after they
are planted, and for this reason the
larger specimens should be planted
in the grassiest and weediest spots,
since small specimens might be
snothered by such growth. Planta-
lions of trees must not be burned,
and cattle must be kept out until the
trees are SO tall and strong that cat
tie cannot break them.-Ncrth Caro-
lima Geological and Economic Survey.
The Increased Need of Spraying.
Observant farmers have generally
concluded that all sorts of injurious
insects and fungus diseases appear
much more common that formerly,
and in some sections fruit growing
and the production of man. other
crops have been almost abandoned
because of the impossibility of pro-
ducing a satisfactory crop on account
of these diseases and the ravages of
insects. In some Instances new dis
eases and insects have actually been
introduced, while in others conditions
have been such as to favor the in
crease and spread Of old enemies
which formerly did very little harm.
Our lack Of proper crop rotation.
more extensive traffic in farm pro-
ducts, the destruction of other plants
upon which insects formerly fed, and
the ruthless slaughter Of song and
game birds, which Is still going on,
have all combined to increase the
ravages of these enemies to farm
crops. If a crop which furnishes
suitable food for an insect is grown
year after year on the same land this
insect has furnished for 1t the great
est aid for rapid increase In numbers.
Without discussing fully the causes
of present conditions 1t may be stated
that to grow good fruit and many 9TH
er crops, prof1tably, spraying is now
a necessity.-Prof. Soule.
