BEST METHODS
in POULTRY
American Farmer Has Much to
Learn to Make Chicken Raising
itabIe-European
Ways Good.
(Ry NJ. K. BOYER D

(By NJ. x. BOYER.2
An English Journal says that wheI
they have look at the average Eng
lish farmers egg basket and conti-
mental egg box there Is much to be
seen and learned therefrom.
In the farmers basket will be found
eggs of all sizes. shapes, tints and
colors. There has been no attempt at
grading or uniformity. If farmer
gets an even lot Of eggs, all brown, he
can sell them at IA for % cents "a
shilling), but he would have to sell
fifteen eggs of his jumbled-up lot for
the same price. The continental eggs
are all evenly and securely packed, all
of one color, and graded according to
size.
The condition of the English farm
er's egg basket is very much like the
egg basket of the American farmer.
There is a reason for It, So long as
the farmer will continue to harbor
mongrel poultry he is sure to have all
colors and sizes of eggs. Nothing but
a well-selected and well-bred strain of
a single breed will give the desired
uniformity.
In England there are two or three
methods employed by poulterers for
killing their stock. One by neck
stretching, by which the fowl is seized
by the hooks, the finger and thumb Of
the free hand being placed on the
poll and the neck is stretched until
the spinal cord is ruptured Death is
instantaneous, as well as painless. and
the blood flows down into the cavity
of the neck.
The other method is to secure the
fowl as above, stun it by means of a
smart tap at the base of the skull,
then open its beak and thrust a sharp
knife down it's throat and withdraw 1t
rapidly by pressing the keen edge
against the back of the throat.
The beak is then rinsed and the
legs scrubbed with a stiff brush and
soapy water, which makes them bright
and clean for simple trusting for

The fig tree has been widely though
not extensively grown for many years
In California and the southern states.
Its greatest development is in the
gulf coast region, where 1t was prob
ably introduced in early times by the
French AMI Spanish. There and along
the South Atlantic coast 1t grows in
the open without winter protection,
bearing at an early age, and abundant
ly on soils adapted to its culture. In
unusually severe winters the trees
may be frozen to the ground; but If
the root system has been we'll estab-
iished. sprouts will spring up. grow
rapidly, and bear in the following
year. Under these conditions the tree
appears as a large bush. Away from
the coastal sections an annual crop Is
best assured by growing hardy vari-
eties and giving some form of winter
protection. The use of the bush or
stool form from the start is advisable
where there is frequent danger of win
ter-killing.
On either coast, or in the vicinity of
salt water. 1t will need no winter pro-
lection. But in the colder portions of
the state the method found successful
in Maryland will do equally well. This
is to branch the trees from the ground.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
1t is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher Of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne.
LID, FRS. of London spend the
best part of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and Strengthening qualities of differ
ent foods, it is certain that their ad-
vice is absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his eS-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.

eat it frequently. SO

was in conversation with a neigh
por just a short time ago and he
asked me the question: What is
good plowing, and how should it be
done in the spring to give best re-
sults?"
replied: Good plowing consists
Hin turning and setting the soil into
MICE neat, even, clean. round, straight
burrows so that the upper soil will be
brought up as much as possible and
exposed to the sun and atmosphere"
What do mean by clean burrows?
Having the weeds. stubble and grass
all turned under and cutting clean
landslide. Even? Having the fur
rows all the same height.
Round? So that the burrows will
show little crease between them.
and unless you plow straight your fur
rows will not be even.
Some may think that a certain
depth and width are necessary in good
plowing. 1t is. Regulate the width
by depth, but there are so many diff
ferent shaped mold boards which
throw the soil in different positions.
that some would cut wide burrows.
and others narrow. Not only this, but
some soils need shallow plowing In
order to produce the best results,
while others need deep plowing.
plow certain depth and width
and get good results, but this might
not apply to all farms. You might
try the same width and depth with
,oor results.
| have found that even on the same
farm there are sometimes different
fields that will give better results with
different depths of plowing, and.
therefore, it becomes necessary TO
make it study and know what Is
needed.
