\ SUCCESS WITH PIGEONS
\ Girl Uses Trap Nests in Mating and
i'll Il Great Measure Attributes Her

BY j. Haynes. Indian

BY j. Haynes, Indiana.
A young lady Of Delphi, and. has
a pigeon loft to hold nea@iy 1000
birds. She is very successful id
breeding and raising birds.
She mates the birds by using traL
nests and is an expert in the line *
mating, claiming that in the propee
mating is the basis for success III
breeding.
When the birds are two weeks old
the leg is banded with a numbcr and 4
record kept Of it.
When four weeks old they ar exam
med as to their qualifications for
breeders and if not suitable they are
sold as squads.
No SQUAD is allowed a greater age
tina four weeks, for at that age they
leave the nest and lose weight rapidly.
Ii the bird is wanted for breeding
at six weeks Of age it is put in the
mating room, where there are Il numS
Der Of trap nests, large and rOomS
and in these she gets the matcs-souf
affinity, | suppose.
After mating is established they
are assigned to the lofts.
She ships about 800 pairs of breed
ing birds every year at from 50 to
$3.50 per pair and supplies private
families n restaurants in nearby cit
les with squads.
They are neatly dressed aud pack
d for shipment.
Tier beginning was in q small way
ana in that fact lies the key to her
succeSs-she moved cautiously until
she acquired q thorough knowledge
OF the business.
Her houses, lofts ana flies arc
models OF neatness.
The house is ined throughout with
tarred paper. 1t is subdiVided into
compartments large enough TO accom-
MEDIATE fifty pairs Of birds.
Each compartment is supplied with
self-feeGing boxes and running water
from cement fountains. These nesting
rooms are s by 10 feet ad s feet high
boxes for nests are arranged on
both the longer sides.
The flies are 10 by Il feet high and
are constructed Of wire netting.
Each loft Is provided with its own
fly 50 that there IS peace among the
birds.
Every three weeks the rooms are al

DOUBLING THE CORN YIELD.
By {. X. Hudson.

Every thoughtful and informed citi-
zen knows that corn is the basis of
farming operations in North Carolina.
For wears the Southern farmer, ON
account OF the low yields produced,
has been paying an average price OF
about q dollar per bushel for corn
when he could easily nave produced it
for twenty-five cents per buShel, or
even less, if he had only thoroughly
understood and properly applied d
few basic principles IN regard to
hanlIing Of the soil.
Probably the most important of
any one thing necessary in the MAX
ing Of q big yield Of corr is a we'll
regulated and an abundant supply of
moisture. Every farmer knows, both
by experience and observations, that
either Of the two extremes, a wet
spell or a dry spell Of weather. cuts
off his WELD Of corn. IN order to
have an adequate supply of moisture
at all times n to have it 50 stored
in the soil that the corn does not suf-
fer from excessive water. three things
are necessary: Cd y deep soil; CD
a well-pulverized soil ca. \ humus-
filled soil. During a long series Of
years of farming, the southern farmer
has proven conc1usively that a big
and profitable yield Of corr cannot be
grown on three or four inches OF
soil. We have soil no deep than we
plow. The average depths Of breaking
land i'll the South is not over four
inches deep. The farmers Who make
the big yields Of corn break from six
to twelve inches deep. Pulverizing the
clods in the fields increases many
! times their wa~ter-holding capacity.

The third thing Of Importance in
records of crops Of corn that were
produced at an average cost Of ten
and a half cents per bushel. The
records were obtained from among
/ about two thousand kept in the Farm
erS' Cooperative Demonstration
Work last season. The average cost
on these farms last season was less
than thirty cents per bushel. Mr..
Hudson has charge of the movement

Slovcnly Crop Culture.

Because of lack OF help much work
IS being done that Will prove q loss
to the farmer.
Instances such as where oats .|erc
.soWn broadcast on unploWcd land and
then attempts made to cover by using
a spring tooth. harrow or by using &
disk drill on unploWed land are cel-
tdinlN great mistakes.
One man down in Marion county,
Indiana, writes that he sows his oats
every year i'll February on unplcwed
ground and lets the frost and rains
cover the seed for him.
Another writes his method Of plant
ing potatoes is to pillow open a furroW
with q barshire pillow, drop the seed
and cover with the blow, running
both sides Of the open furroW. thus
covering and killing at the same time.
Well. We confess ignorance OF what
results could be hoped for from these
methods Of culture.
1t looks as if too many m are
shifting their work off upon costly
machinery in the absence Of proper
help regardless Of the consequences.
The man who rides on the sulnN
corn pillow in cultiyating his corn can
not do good work.
The farmer who shirks or sights his
work will be the loser.
In whatever manner he plants, soWs
or cultiNates in a like respect Will his

POTATOES BRING THE MONEY.

Potatoes viii do their best on a
well-manured, Ncll-prcpared closer
sod. The ground should he plowed
about two weeks before planting.
one Of the best tools for getting the
ground into a fine filth is the disk
harrow. Double disk the ground once
or twice and after that use the spring
and spike tooth harrow.
After You have soil in proper shape
look TO your seed potato. These should
be kept in a cool dark place So that
they viii send out strong, healthy
shoots.
They should have been selected the
previous year from the hill, using only
the best potatoes from the best hills.
In digging potatoes we often find
hills that only contain three or our
small potatoes.
If We do not select from the mill
seed viii tell IN potatoes as well as in
stock. but if YOU have t. plant small
ana s2abhE potatoes be sure ana treat
them for scab. This Is easily done.
Put the potatoes in clean sacks and
soak for two hours in a solution of
formalin. 1t Is important that the
sacks and barrels containing the mix
tu1e be thoroughly clean, because dis
infected seed Will be ~reinSected il put
into dirty sacks or boxes from which
it vas taken.
After you nave Nour soil in shape
mark Off WI Wos from > II to ,
feet apart, depending on the fertility
Of your soil.
Harrow the ground two are three
times before the plants come up SO as
to Kill the weeds and maintain a lust
mulch, thus retaining moisture.
This method saves a lot of cultiVa-
ton and it IS cheaper, as YOU can get
over q large area III a day.
After the potatoes are up set the
c~ultlNator deep and close to the plant.
| prefer level cultivation, rs there is
no danger of root pruning.
Go shallOWer each time after this.
cultivate just enough to keep the
weeds Town and to maintain a dust
mulch and if the weeds should get
the start if YOU after You have
stopped c~ultiVating go through the
fled with a ORR knife and cut the
weeds off close to the root. BY this
method YOU do not lose any of the
potatoes and it is also quicker than
pulling them up.
BE very careful that the bugs do not
set ahead Of YOU, as they Will oon
strip the leaves off the plants. The
best time to Kill them is just as they
are Matching and 4 does not take
much poison to kill then, "a this
time.
Spray for blight also. This is a kind
of insurance. It IS claimed by some
growers that the increased Weld Will
pay for the work.
Many methods Of harvesting are
now used. For the large grower the
use OF tint f~our-hOrse digger is proba-
bly, the cheapest way, but the small
growers can undoubtedly do it cheaper
by hand. Fl. Trufdnt, Michigan.

Ii the ground is damp it is best to
put the hen and her brood in some
building. During most Of the season
the best thing is an outdoor coop.
The first consideration in masking q
chicken coop IS 10 see that it is rain
proof and rat-tight.
The next thing to look for is that
the coop Is not air~tight. Let the
front be Of rat-tiGht netting OF heavy
screen.
The same general plan may be used
for small c0ops Tor hens on for larger
coops to be used as colony houses for

The essentials are a movable floor
