Acid Soils.

Acid soils are readily detected by
the reaction which they give with
sensitive litmus paper. In making
the test the moistened soil is pressed
against blue litmus paper, which
changes to red in the presence of free
acids. Acid soils are made productive
by using lime and other alkaline
material to neutralize the humic acid
before applying farm and other
manures. Acid soils are no: suitable
for the production of clover and
legumes.
Experiments by Wheeler at the
Rhode Island Experiment Station in
dicate that there are large areas of
acid soils in the Eastern States which
iir-slaked lime. There is great differ
ence in the power of plants to live in
acid soils. Some agricultural crops
as legumes are particularly sensitive,
while many weeds have such strong
power of endurance that they thrive
In the presence of acids. Weeds fire.
quently reflect the character of the
soil as to acidity, in the same way
that an alkaline soil is indicated by
the plants produced. The acid and
alkaline compounds of the soil great
ly influence the bacterial fora. In
the presence of strong acids or al
kalis, many of the bacterial changes

Wintering Work Horses.

After the ground freezes in the fall
large majority of the farmers do
not have enough work for their
horses to give them a sufficient
amount of exercise. When horses are
first confined after having had plenty
OF outdoor exercise all summer they
often have trouble with swelled legs
and other arrangements. The best
way to prevent these troubles is to
adjust the food to the changed condi-
tions OF the horses. Those OF the
horses that do very little work during
the winter do not need much grain
II they are getting all the hay they
can eat. Horses can be kept in ex-
cellent condition when fed oats straw
that has been slowed in the NOV
and a very little grain Bran makes
an excellent feed for the greater part
of the winter grain ration: 1t keeps
the digestive system In good,
healthy condition. An occasional
mess of boiled oats is greatly relished
by the horses; a feed OF this kind
should be given at least once a week.
Carrots make an excellent feed during
the winter and most horses are very
fond OF them. Horses should always
have dry, warm aud we'll bedded
quarters. Give them water FIRST thing
In the morning and last thing AT
night. Have lump OF rock salt in
each stall that they can go to daily

consider best against the laying and
breeding time. II the flock is to be
kept for early laying, extra strength
and fertility, 1t should consist OF one
third pullets, one-third hens that will
be two years old next spring, and one
third hens that will be three years old
next spring or summer.
II you are keeping over male birds
of your own flock this year, try to
manage it in some way that your
breeding plan will be this: One-year
cockerels put in breeding pens with
year males with the pullets coming
on this year. This rule will insure
a breed of fowls that will, in nearly
every case, come up to standard
, weight, besides securing extra vigor
for them. Too often our fowls,
though we keep them pure bred,
come below required weight.
You can keep the chicken house
| just as much too warm as too cold.
| AS rule ventilators in poultry houses
are not success. The best ventila
| tion is given by doors or windows.
If by window see that it is opened
at the top instead of the bottom.
Whatever air blows in a poultry
| house must blow in over the chickens
instead of directly upon them, to in
sure success. Hens that have been
kept In heated quarters during VIM
ter seldom If ever produce eggs worth
setting. The life germ is either en-
tirely missing, or in too many cases
when 1t is there, too weak to hatch.
In keeping over breeding turkeys
the question is often asked, How
many hens shall l keep for each
tom?" If yoH want extra fertility it
is best to not keep over six hens to
each tom kept. Now and then you
will find turkey breeders claiming to
get good matches where but one tom
is kept to a dozen or even twenty
hens. This might happen once in a
while, but you must not trust 1t.
Where turkeys are kept in limited
quarters, and you are keeping two
toms and dozen hens, it is best, in
breeding time, to keep one confined
while the other is in the inclosure.
But where they have free range, both
toms can go with the flocks, as they
usually separate, and each tom, with
his lot of hens, goes his own way.-I.
