BEST METHODS
IN POULTRY
American Farmer Has Much to
Learn 10 Make Chicken Raising
Prontable-Europe
Ways Good.
(By n. X. BOYER.)


An English journal says that wheI
they have look at the average Eng
lish farmers egg basket and a 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. II farmer
gets an even lot Of eggs. all brown. he
can sell them at II 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 reason for It. So long az
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 its throat and withdraw II
rapidly by pressing the keen edge
against the back of the throat.
The beak Is then rinsed and the
legs scrubbed with a stifY brush and
soapy water. which makes them bright
and clean for simple trusting for
mark"'

PROTECTING FIG TREE
DURING COLD WEATHER
Method Bending Bush Ground Pinnins Them

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 and 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 It's culture. In
unusually severe winters the trees
may be frozen to the ground: but II
the root system has been well estab-
lished, 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-
cites 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.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1910-03-25

and in the fall. after the frost has
cut the leaves. bend down the
branches to the ground and pin them
fast, and then pile the earth over them.
mounding 1t over the center and slo-
ping to the outside SO as to throw on
the water. or gather the limbs like a
cross on the ground and cover each
bunch separately with higher mound
in the center like a four-pointed star.
They will keep perfectly in cold eli.
mates in this way.
Farther south, where the tree is
grown as a standard and the weather
is only severe during occasional win
ters. some form Of protection is ad-
visable for the first three years. After
this period the trunk Of the fig Is less
easily injured by cold.
That the fig has not long since been
developed as a commercial fruit. may
be attributed chiefly to the inability.
thus far. to produce a marketable
dried fig. the fig Of commerce in the
humid southern climate. Moreover. the
fresh fruit. which is highly es.
teemed both by those who grow 1t and
those who have acquired a taste for 1t.
is practically unknown in large COM
mercial centers. being an extremely
poor shipper.

GOOD FLOWING
REQUIRES SKILL

fBy r. B. RUSHING.)

was in conversation with a neigh.
Dor Just short time ago and he
asked me the question:: What Is
good plowing. and how should 1t be
done in the spring to give best re-
sults?"
replied: Good plowing consists
in turning and setting the soil into
nice. 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 I mean by clean burrows? =?
Having the weeds. stubble and grass
all turned under and cutting a 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 pillow 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 a 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. 1t becomes necessary to
make 1t study and know what Is

HAVE you TRIED THIS?

Simple Prescription Said to Work
Wonders for rheumatism.
This has been well known to the best
doctors for years and is now given to
the public. Get one ounce of syrup Of
Sarsaparilla compound and one ounce
Toris compound. Then get half pint
Of good whiskey and put the other two
ingredients into 1t. Take a tablespoon
full of this mixture before each meal
and at bed time. Shake the bottle
before using" Good effects are felt
the first day. Many Of the worst cases
here have been cured by this. Any
druggist has these ingredients on hand
or will quickly get them from his
Wholesale house.
