to the new WORK after two or three
days and everything will go along
merrily.
When you have gone the length
of the main ditch with TINS nrst
cutting, go back to the outlet
again and cut another depth IN the
same manner as before, except that
the bottom of this cutting VIII want
to be only a little WIDER than the
tile you are to use is In diameter,
for you know you don't want TO nam
die a pound more OF clay out and In
that ditch than is necessary TO make
a channel wide enough to accommo-
date the string oil tie. BY using
line on the rlgnt side OF the ditcn TO
dig by, you VIII be sure TO keep the
ditch absolutely straight. This Will
save gong over the ditch later and
taking out more dirt Tor the purpose
OF Strengthening little CROOKS That are
liable TO get into the work in case
the line is not used.
Preparing a Bed for the Tile.
These two depths of spading in
connection with the plowing viii give
you a ditch about Az inches in depth.
which Will be, when the spading is
done, about the proper depth for the
tile in ordinary clay soil. II you have
a deep alluvial or sandy soil, 1t will
be we'll to go another spading ia
depth, and in this case your second
spading will need to be wider in
order TO provide room TO stand while
cutting the last spading. IL the BANKS
of the ditch do not cave in badly.

coed TO cut the side or lateral drains.
and grade even with the bottom OF
the main. This grading is done with
a thing scoop purchase all of these
tools OF the big mail-order houses If

man TO stand on the bank while doing
the grading OF the bottom.
Go over the lateral ditch, taking
out the loose dirt with the scoop first.
Then 90 back over ii again, cutting

We are using three-inch size. and see
no reason for using larger and more
expensive ones. as this size does the
work all right with US, and 2A-inch
would probably be all right IL the
work OF grading be properly done.
The Particular Part OF the Work.
Extreme care should be taken
with this part OF the work, whatever
sized tile is used, as the proper work
ing OF the drains depends very large
ly upon the regularity OF the grade.
If the bottom OF the ditch is allowed
TO become an inch lower at some
point than at another, and there Will
be sag OF an inch In the line of tile.
A little sediment will collect at this
point after time and. In conse-
quence, third OF the capacity OF the
tile is used up. So a three-inch size
OF tile, properly laid, may have as
great capacity as four-inch care
lessly put down. II the banks of the

and the hard work is, in measure,
forgotten, or rather overshadowed Dy
the realization that we are engaged
in a work that is going to be OF last
ing benefit TO ourselves and all fu-
ture generations. This work OF TIL
ing land is a wet-weather job, and
advise that the grading Of the bot
tom OF the bitches anyway be done
when an inch or SO OF water can De

goes much more easier when the soil
is SO flied with water that the clay
will slip readily from the blade OF
the spade. You will need to have
stell plate made at the blacksmith
shop to fit the bottom of your left
rubber boot, which will protect the
sods of the boot from the sharp
edge Of the shovel and spade. Don't
neglect this little matter or you are
liable to ruin a 81 pair OF boots, in
one day. Get your boots large

heavy wooden socks, for when you get

as you will feel like doing il you are
working in ice water wearing tight
boots and thin cotton socks. You see
the writer has done a good lot OF
this work and knows how infatuated
one becomes with his job when he
gets to see what great good the work
is doing.
When You Go to Digging bitches.
You remember in the last paper we
had piowed out the first eight inches
of the bitches with the big pillow, go
ing twice in each ditch. Now We
with the long-handled shovel clean
out the loose dirt that may be re-
naming in the bottom Of the furrow.
Then, IL the land is not very rocky.
we want a short-handled spade with
a blade sixteen or eighteen inches IN
length and four inches wide. Now,
standing in the bottom of the ditch
facing the outlet, set the spade up
pretty straight, and with the inner
edge of the blade little back OF the
outer edge-so that when you break
out big spade full, the clay will not
bind against the side OF the bank
put your weight on the spade and
sock her down full length, break out
this spade full, laying the dirt on the
left bank, close to the edge (about
foot away set the spade on the
opposite side of the ditch in the same
manner as before and cut out another
chunk. Alternating in this way, you
will make the first spading about a
foot in width and 16 inches deep.
After you have dug few rods of
ditch in this way, l would advise you
to straighten up good, look about a
little, and try to get your mind thor
oughly fixed on what you are seek
ing to accomplish, for If you don't
do this at this time, your back may
get to aching rather severely and
you may decide that digging tile
bitches is not the snap that French
has led you to believe it is. But

A SETTING HEN

When a hen is bound to set,
Seems though faint etiket
Dowsin' her in water till
She's connected with chill;
Seems as though twas skarsely right
Givin' her a dreadful fright,
Tyin' rags around her tail,
Poundin on an old tin pail,
Chasin' her around the yard
Seems as though twas kinder hard
Bein' kicked and slammed and shooed
Cause she wants ter raise a brood.
I sh'd say it's gettin gay
Jest cause natur' wants its way.
While ago my nighbor, Penn.
Started Dustin up a hen;
Went to yank her off the nest,
Hen, though, made a peck and jest
Grabbed his thumbnal good and stout,
Liked to yank the darn thing out.
Penn he twitched away and then
Tried again to grab the hen:
But, by ginger, she had spunk,
Cause she took and nipped a hunk
Big's a bean right out his palm.
Swallowed it, and cool and calm,
Histed up and yelled "Cah-d dahl!
Sounded like she said "Hoorah!"
Well, sir, when that hen done that,
Penn he bowed. took off his hat.
Spunk jest suits him, you can bet,

at time, but when thrown out they
cannot bite it off, but will drag
around and get it so dirty that it will
be poisonous for them to eat it.
Cleanliness, green food, clean water,
shade-that is a synopsis of summer
work. That will keep the little
chicks free from all ailments and will
keep the pullets growing"
Separate the sexes and when you find
the market will warrant it, which will
be in the spring, sell off the cockerels.
Later on, especially if you have range,
you can keep them and about three
weeks before you want to market
them, put them up to fatten them, or
might say, fleshen up for market, for
we want to put juicy flesh upon them
and not layers of fat. In order to make
them tender and juicy we must re-
strict their liberty by keeping them
in very small yard or in a fattening
coop. This will prevent them form
ing muscle and make the flesh tender,
while the proper food will tend to
make them juicy.
The crate used for fattening fowls
can be four or six feet long. Mine were
composed of lath six feet long. The
frame of the crate is six feet long,
eighteen inches wide and eighteen
inches high, divided into six little stalls
or compartments. The frame is COW
cred with lath, placed lengthwise on
the bottom, back and top, the width
of one lath apart. The first lath on the
bottom should be two inches from the
back to allow the droppings to fall
through, otherwise they would lodge
on the lath at the back. The laths are
placed up and down in the front, the
space between them being two inches
wide to enable the chickens to feed
through the trough A Vshaped trough
is made to fit into two notches in
cleats in front of each crate. The crate
stands fifteen inches high; the drop
pings are received on sand or other
absorbent material and removed daily.
The coop is large enough to hold twelve
or eighteen young chicks (two or three
to stalD, or six full-grown fowls.
Fowls are fed three times a day all
they will eat in fifteen minutes.
A good formula for fattening is equal
parts of bran, cornmeal and oatmeal
mixed with skim milk, fed three times
day. The last week of the fattening
process per cent of cotton seeed meal
may be added. A little salt and coarse
sand or grit should be added to the

POULTRY BUSINESS OUTLOOK
ADVICE TO BEGINNERS
BY +. B. CLEWETTE
Manager George ii. Lee & Co.

In advising people who wish to invest
in birds, appliances, machinery, etc,
we always say go very slowly, lnvesti-
gate successful plants. take some of the
features most attractive to you from
each place, or follow the plan of the
one that appeals to you most favorably,
but please don't formulate new plans
and expect to use them on a large
scale until you have tried them out
and found them satisfactory
Use plans and ways of feeding and
care that are successful in other hands,
and test out any theories you may have
on a small scale, and your experience
will not be so expensive as it otherwise
might be.
Remember the saying, that Fools
rush boldly in where angels fear to
tread" And a poultryman more than
most other people must use hard COM
mon sense and avoid all visionary
schemes until he gets on his feet, and
with everything running smoothly and
then the new things may have a show.
Some people in starting into the poul
try business think it best to get eggs
and incubators and raise young stock
of their own, and buy no mature birds.
This appears to us to be a slow and
discouraging way to get started, and
since the thing the beginner needs more
than anything else is experience, it
grown stock and learn how to handle
them, and at the same time get chicks
and find out how to feed and care for
them.
1t is not wise for anyone to decide
before having had experience just eX-
actly what line of work to take up, for
one may make a success of one line of
poultry culture but in another line
would hardly pay expenses.
For this reason we think 1t best to
get some birds and work with them as
well as the chicks, and in that way find
out just the line you are the best fitted
to take up. Some people work natural
ly into fancy stock, some succeed well
with ducks. Some get good results
from broilers, another is better fitted to
handle the day-old chick trade, while
his neighbor starting the same may
develop a fine egg business. 1t is al
ways we'll to expect drawbacks, and
then they will not be so disheartening
as they will if you are overconfdent OF
clear sailing all the time.
Sometimes we get an inquiry like
this: 'I have some nice chicks, six
weeks old, running with a hen, and
yesterday three of them died after
sickness of about two hours; three
more are sick can eat, but unable TO
stand on their feet.
The trouble in this case seems to be
something they have eaten that was
fermented or moldy, and caused pto-
maine poisoning. If trouble like this
comes on the beginner and his losses
are very large he is very much dis
couraged. If he has had experience
along this line he is not likely to allow
his birds to get impure food. Actual
experience is much more effective in
fastening facts in our minds than just
reading about it in a paper, yet if we
read everything possible in regard to
the care of poultry we will be saved
many losses. In fact, we should try to
absorb new ideas all the time and never
be satisfied with what we already
know, but keep on the lookout for any
thing that may help us to do more and
better business.

SUM M Err WORK

"Culling" is part of the summer
work which might almost come under
the head of economy.
The cockerels should be culled, that
is, separated from the pullets. This
should be done as early as it is pos
sible to detect the difference in the
sexes by the comb and wattles. MY
reasons for this are that the more
room and the more freedom the pull
let's have the better they will develop.
while if the growing young cockerels
are kept together by themselves they
