HELPFUL TO FARMERS
Practical Advice Given By Experts
 With the Demonstration Train.

The experts. who talked to farmers
 at the meetings held in valley towns
 during the tour of the Southern Pa
 clfic's demonstration train, gave prac-
 fical advice and valuable information, and it was regrettable that more farm
 CTS did not attend the meeting at the Opera House in Fl Centro.
 Prof. Majors. of the department of animal industries of the State Uni
 versity, told what is being done to teach students how to select, breed and care for animals, and advocated practical instruction along that line in public schools. He gave Imperial Valley farmers some practical advice on the breeding and feeding of swine telling them that alfalfa does not pro- duce good, firm pork and that Cali fornia hogs are in many ways infer for to Kansas and Colorado animals
 The Deputy Horticultural Commis- sIoner having charge of quarantine matters in San Francisco spoke of the danger of introduction of insect pests and the measures taken to avert it, and advised strongly against importa- tion of plants from the east, especial ly by mail. Don't send for eastern nursery stock" was his earnest in junction.
 The University's soil expert said Imperial Valley farmers need not fear common alkali in the soil, as 1t was easily controlled by proper irrigation and cultivation, The soil of this val ley, he said, has sufficient potash and phosporic acid and needs no commer- cial fertilizer. When the fertilizer agent urges you to buy his stuff" he said, Task him why Your soil does not need it. California soil generally is deficient in humus only That is supplied by cover crops, of which we consider vetch the best"
 The need of an active, competent county veterinary inspector was urged by the veterinary expert of the Uni versity, and the State Horticultural Commissioner earnestly advocated the of an active county com. missioner, to be paid enough to in sure devotion of his whole time to the work of protecting Imperial Val ley from invasion by insect pests and plant diseases.

GOOD POULTRY YARD NOTES.

There are no disease germs in fresh
eggs.
Rub the dust off the windows and
let the sunshine into the chicken
house.
The well-fed pullet is an early
layer.
The Leghorn is the common fowl
of Italy
Soft-shelled eggs are sign of want
of lime.
You cannot make money out OF
poultry unless you work.
The market has never yet been
overstocked with broilers.
If you go among the broods often
you will observe their needs.
Sunhower seeds give gloss to the
plumage of dark feathered birds.
Growing fowls require a great deal
of exercise, and so do laying hens, es.
pecially young ones.
Don't tolerate a loafing hen. A hen
that won't work Is better off in the
stew pot
Scaley legs may be cured by using
kerosene freely or by rubbing with
sulphur and lard.
Even If you did not keep a record
of your poultry business during the
last year, be sure to do so this year.
When the chicks droop their wings
or are dumpish look for lice. Rub
some grease well over the top of the
head.
Never allow lumber or any piles OF
rubbish near the henhouse. They af.
ford good hiding places for rats and
other vermin.
Be sure and see that the chicks
have no lice on the backs of their
heads The louise kills more chicks
than all other things combined.
A successful woman poultry raiser
of Iowa finds that boiled skim milk
fed to chicks will go far toward pre-
venting bowel trouble, and whatever
else she feeds she always includes
boiled milk and oatmeal.

Feed the Corn on the Farm.

keep the farm crops on the farm
and ship the meat and the butter and
the milk and the cheese" is the com
nonsense advice of Secretary VIII,
son. This insures soil fertility. Every
ton of corn shipped to market loses
the farm 33 pounds of nitrogen, 12
pounds of phosphoric acid and seven
pounds of potash. Figure this out on
the basis of the printed analyses on
the fertilizer bags and see how much
the farm loses with each corn sale. If
fed, 80 or 80 per cent. of these con
stituents go into the manure. By the
way. Uncle Jim says to be sure and
haul out and spread your manure as
fast as made.

PROFIT IN GOOSE FARMING
Very Hardy Fowl and viii Stand
Much Exposure, but Eggs Are
Hard to Hatch.

The goose is very hardy, will stand
more exposure than any other fowl,
more in fact, than any other domestic
creature, says the Agriculturist. They
will not stay inside a pen except at
night time in the severest storms, and
seem to delight in wading in the snow
in the toughest storms, only moving

cred. Cold weather has no terror to
a flock of mature geese.
Most geese will lay two litters of
eggs. the size of the litter varying
from 12 to 25, but 30 eggs for the two
litters is about what you may expect.
A goose will hardly every try to sit
at the close of the first litter and the
eggs should be put under hens or put
