To prevent disease keep the hens at
work by making them scratch for their
grain food. Overlooking is the cause
of bowel disease in the summer, or,
rather, too much concentrated food is
given, and not enough of that which
is bulky If the quarters are kept
clean there is little danger of con-
tagious disease unless an addition is
made to the flock by bringing bird
from some other farm. When new
biood' is wanted procure a sitting of
eggs Of the breed desired as it is very
important that when the coops are
clean, and the fowls free from disease,
no fowls from cher places be intro
duced, as flock may thus be stocked
with lice or infected with disease.

Root Grnftlnr.

Prof 0. NJ Morris of the Oklahoma
Agricultural Experiment Station says
the whole-root and piece-root CRAFTS
each have some advantages over the
other, and the climate and variety of
the tree should determine which should
be used The whole-root graft requires
one seeding for each graft. The piece
root one Seeding for every two or
three gratis. These are facts that in
terest the nurseryman more than the
fruit grower. The whole-root trees
will grow much faster for the first
three or four years and will form a
more evenly distributed root system
than the piece-root graft. 1t will be
better braced and will stand much
better when exposed to hard winds
than the piece-root CRAFTS. The whole
root graft has a root system already
developed for it to begin growth upon.
The piece-root graft is reduced almost
to a cutting and must grow as such.
If the clon Of the piece-root graft Is
made long and set deep in the ground
it will often strike roots and soon be
up on it's own root. This is a great
advantage in very cold climates or
where the roots winter-kill badly.
