Get Winter Eggs.

Following up our recent article IN
these columns headed. "1'he Pullets
in the Straw, and thinking about the
old stable ut homo on the fnfm, where
we used to pitch the manure from the
stable out OF q convenient back WIN
dow; and how the hens used to go
back there and work In that dung-heap
on the sunny-side of the stable, we are
led to the suggestion that in just such
situations, with q little betterment In
the way OF projection from The rMn
and the snow, II Is possible for every
farmer who Is alive to the situation,
to convert his manure.pile during the
winter, into an eggplant or egg-mine.
Our idea Is this: Suppose we go TO
work and put shed about twelve or
fifteen feet long, and eight or ten feet
wide over and above the back window
to the stable, so as to protect the
manure and the fowls working in IT,,
from the bad weather, -planking 1t up
the base This would give us an ideal
scratch pile, one rich In things that
chickens love to scratch for; and, as
for that, we could be liberal in what
we pitched out there in addition to the
manure, adding some grain daily, and
some clover hulls, or mlllet hay, and
so make It the feeding place for the
fowls. Then, down under the horse
troughs at the rear of the stable next
to the shed we could box up a space
couple of feet wide, and several
feet long, and In there we could put
nest boxes, and nests, with an opening
in the back end leading out under the
shed. This would make an ideal place
for the hens to scratch, and retreat
into the stable under the troughs TO
lay. And they would do 1t, with an in
crease Of 25 to so percent In eggs over
their usual winter laying without any
such congenlal quarters.
One end of the shed might be board
ed up, and part Of one side, from the
top down four Of FIVE feet, and the
roosts for the hens put up In there;
thus virtually making the dung-heap
from the stable the basis of a success
ful chicken plant, and roosting house.
We wonder how many farmers who
read this suggestion will act on It..
We wish several would, and then re
port results in these columns.

timely thought is worth, is to try

Msthod of Corn Culture.

Several years ago a farmer named
T. M. Williamson Of Darlington coun-
ty, South Carolina, developed o sys-
tern of corn culture which has already
worked an agricultural revolution in
the Peedee Rlyer region of tlat state,
nnd which is destined to bring about
IN the south an increased yield an
aere Of corn which would go far tow
ara reducing the cost of living.
Williamson reasoned that the appli-
cation Of fertilizer at time of planting
stimulated growth of stalk rather than
that OF grain. He therefore reserved
the fertilization until the plant was
about to fruit, when tho stlmulant be-
came a direct aid to this process of
grain production.
Since smaller stalks occupied less
ground space he seeded more thickly
and the combined treatment increased
the yield enormously, to as much in
some cases at 40 bushels an acre,
and with quite common result Of so
to go bushels an acre.
Walfiamson's system has now been
so generally adopted in his immedi-
ate locality that found Darlington
county abundantly supplied with corn
for home consumption, whereas it for
merly spent large of its cotton money
for Western corn.
The upland Southern lands are thus
proved capable Of rivalling the great
corn producing states Of the West.
