Poultry Notes and Comments.

A Sitting room" for hens is quite
necessary. An open front to the
south, screened by one-inch poultry
wire, is best. If hens are peaceable
nest boxes may be placed around on
the ground, and when a hen becomes
broody remove her at dusk to a nest;
gently place her on it with a nest egg
under her, and II she seems a little
restless spread burlap over her till
next evening. If she is contented sec
ond morning place eggs under her.
THE pullet is mother Of the hen"
so it Is well to select the chicks which
show sex earliest, and mark them for
breeders, then watch which of these
pullets begin to lay first, and which
Of the males begin to develop spurs
first. Note the best layers, as pull
lets, and the proudest, most active
cockerels, and you have selected the
best for your breeders for the next
season. Band them as selected. Sc
lection must also be made with re-
gard to standard requirements, If
breeding exhibition fowls.
To insure large quantities of eggs
in fall and early winter raise a large
crop of pullets. 1t is only the early
Matched chicks it pays to market as
fryers, hence get a breed Of good
winter layers. Pullets Matched rea-
sonablr early begin to lay long be-
fore the moulted hen, and keep it up
all winter. For this reason we pre-
fer our winter layers to be pullets
and our breeders yearling hens, and
breeders which become broody most
often are saved for the next years
sitters. Pullets to be used for breed
ers should have laid out one litter Of
eggs before being mated Mrs. J. c.

Southern Soils Examined.

DR.. A. J. Bonsteel, of the Bureau
of Soils, Department OF Agriculture,
has just returned to Washington from
an extended tour Of the South, which
was for the purpose of investigating
the adaptability of different types of
soils for certain kinds of crops, espe-
cially winter and early spring vegeta-
bles. DR.. Bonsteel is enthusiastic
over the results of his trip and is pre-
pairing a special report.
Dr. Bonsteel visited Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, and says he is
more enthusiastic than ever over the
Possibilities for developing the un-
used agricultural lands of the South,
not merely for the production of
staple crops with good average re-
turns per acre, but also with regard
to the development Of special indus
tries where from the production of
fruits, nuts, garden vegetables and
tobacco the soils may be made to ag-
gregate from $500 to $4,000 per acre
under extensive forms of cultivation.
in Alabama said DR.. Bonsteel,
-four soil survey parties are at pres
ent engaged and surveys are in pro-
gress in Tallapoosa, Coffee, Baldwin
and Hale Counties. The work in at
least three of these counties will be
completed in July or early in August,
and additional work will then be
taken up in the north-central portion
of the State. The soil surveys thus
far completed in the State of Alabama
have shown a wonderful diversity in
the soils and the surveys are laying
the foundation for an agricultural
development in the State which in
due time will be no less marked than
the industrial development Of the coal
and iron fields in North-Central Ala

Boys EIaht with an owl.

Lee BARLEY, 16 years old, and a
hooded owl that was the largest ever
seen in this county fought a battle
to the death this afternoon and the
boy won.
Armed with a % calibre rife, Bart
ley and several companions return
ing from school sighted the huge owl
in tree near his home. Taking aim,
he fired and down came the owl. The
lad picked up the supposedly dead
bird, which with a lightning movement
sank its claws deep into ,Bartleys
shoulders. Covered with blood squirt
ingfi in streams, the youth managed
to clutch the bird by the neck and at.
tempted to strangle It, but the owl,
releasing its razor edged claws,
slashed its combatant with terrible
effect. Finally the lad, weakened with
from loss Of blood, hurled himself
postrate, crushing the bird into the
earth.
AS the victor staggered away sew.
eral pedestrians reached the scene
and he tainted in their arms. An ex.
animation showed that twenty-five
cuts, ranging from half an inch &c
two inches in length were inflicted
on the youths body-Menominee cor

Ashamed Of Gullies.

In going about among the farmers
it is. gratifying to find an increasing
number who are ashamed Of gullies
"a gully always being public notice
that a poor farmer has been handling
the land. On many farms we find the
rocks thrown into little dams in the
washes, and this will do much to stop
the land-waste; and a tenant on the
writer's home farm has won our ap-
proval by piling the corn stalks wher-
ever a wash has started. This is a
vastly better plan of handling stalks
than burning them and wasting their
fertility. Professor Massey.

Modern Farm Methods

Notes of Interest to Planter,
Fruit Grower and StOCkman

growth Of grasses for pasture or hay.
These lands are along creeks and
rivers and have not paid in cultivated
crops because OF overfows or lack
of drainage. They would, however,
produce good grass and save us from
buying forage or from sending to the
North for hay. Let us plan to utilize
them. We need the forage or graz
ing which they will produce
Again, there are large areas of up
lands that have been turned out be-
cause Of soil depletion. These lands
would yield a handsome profit on
their value and the expense of putting
them in condition for grazing cattle
and other live stock. Not only is this
so, bgt in a few years If the brush
and briers are kept down they will
be in condition to again yield prohta-
Bile cultivated crops.

on Those Who Care Not for. Wine.
The man from Chicago, convoylng
a party of, five women relatives about
New York, dropped into restauran,
for dinner They wanted the table
d'hote dinner which was advertised
at 81 with wine and s1.25 without
wine.
This variation in price didn't
please the man from Chicago, He
himself was on the water wagon and
be knew that none OF the women folk
wanted wine. Naturally he objected
to paying any $3.50 extra for mega.
tive quantity.
Then a plan cane to him to save
al least part Of that $3.50. He cal,oi
for the wine card and ordered the
cheapest bottle OF wind on tia clsr-
ct at 81. The waiter brought tho
wine, opened 1t and was told he
needn't serve It.
The Chicago man saved so cents on
the dinner and the waiter was in u
bottle Of wine. There was some talk
of taking the wine away with them
but the walters longing look at Il
