SPRING WORK. WITH POULTRY.

You cannot raise good chickens
from poor eggs. If you are satisfied
with the mixed breeds. good, bad and
Indifferent. we can give you very little
advice as to their management II
you propose to raise good chickens
fowls that will make q maximum OF
tie greatest number Of eggs, or pro.
duce the greatest pounds Of meat
select your breed and then buy pure
bred eggs. You can only get these
by buying from breeders whose In.
tegrtty is unquestioned and who are
ready to guarantee that their eggs
will produce birds true to type.
Insist upon having eggs from hens
and not from young pullets. Eggs
from hen that is fully grown and
matured will naturally produce more
birds and stronger birds than eggs
from pullets who are still In a state OF
growth.
Sometimes. it is true, that pulle,
eggs hatch out well, but they do not
produce birds with the vigor and
stamina that come from mature eggs
And you will find that the chicks from
pullet eggs will be more subject to
disease and more will die.
When the chicks can get away from
1t at will. plenty of heat under tA~

NAME EACH COW.

Each COW should have a name,
which should always be spoken when
approaching her. This one point
counts for much in the successful
handling of herd. Suppose the cows
are slowly fling into the barn, and
you see that Rose is about to go into
thu wrong STALL quick call Of
"Rose" will attract her attention. and
she will forget that she was about to
go to her neighbours stall to steal a
mouthful Of her feed. If Rose when
in the yard. is aboutsto hook another
member of the herd, and just at that
moment hears her name called, she
will forget what she was about to
do. Again suppose the herd is slowly
vending its way down the lane to the
pasture. and someone has thought
lessly left side-gate open, leading
into grain field. Rose Is in the lead:
and. as you see her turning toward
e.. open gate. a quick, sharp call OF
"Rose!" will exert wonderful in
f1uence in bringing her back into line
1t is by such methods that herd can
be gradually taught to do the right
things. to save you many steps. and
at the same time bring larger re-
turn.

Breeds and Breeding Of Farm Animals
By DR.. G. A. Roberts

yield offspring of three-quarters
blood. Continuing this process till
the fifth generation, the offspring
would contain thirty-one thirty
seconds of pure blood. Animals so
bred for several generations are called
high grades, and while they are
usually just as good individuals as II
pure bred, the males should not be
used for breeding purposes.
The reason for not using grade,
even high grade, sire lies in the fact
that the longer strain Of animals has
been bred for definite characteristics
the more certainty Of animals Of that
strain transmitting, by laws Of in
heritance, those characteristics. On
the other land, the shorter the time
of fixing those characteristics, as in
grades, the less likelihood Of trans
hitting them.
The sire should be selected largely
with the view Of fulfilling two require
ments. First, lie should be a food
himself Representative
of the type desired. Second, he
should come from long line of
ancestors pure bred.

FUNGUS DISEASES or THE PEACH

TIL, brown rot fungus is am ong the
most destructive OF the fungi on the
peach Yielding place only at times to
eaf-curl Unlike leaf-cIrtts brown
rot prevails during warm. showery
weather. and with such weather
,riod is likely to occur at any time
of the year. In April, if the mummy
peaches are permitted to remain on
the trees from the preceding year, the
fungus may affect the twigs through
tho blossoms and thus cause serious
twig blight. It is matter of COM
men remark that the branches upon
which rotted peaches are found often
perish from effect Of the rot fungus.

Of ascospores from them are yell

susceptible to rot than others.
although some sorts are y:1o4 liable
to ripen during rainy weather and
then rot worse. The control of rot
demands: First, careful removal and
destruction of all mummy .rotted
peaches in which the fungus survives;
Second. thorough spraying of the
trees before blosso ming as for leaf
curl: Third, subsequent spr-y treat

Nest farmers could materially profit
by breeding and raising more ami 1als.
Profitable in two ways: First, directly
from the use or sale of such animals:
and second, by maintaining and in
creasing the productivity of our soils.
Tho increase in number Of animals
upon our farms should be made
gradually, that we may accomm odate
ourselves and conditions to care for
more. Such an increase would likely
be made If we did more breeding and
less buying Of animals. Other people
are making money in raising animals
t sell to us, and why not produce
more of the, ourselves?
For most Of us the profit will not be
in raising Of pure bred live stock nor
in the raising of scrubs, but will lie In
the grading up Of our animals. This
consists in the using Of pure-bred sire
upon native scrub females. The OFF,
sprir of such mating would be one
hs.. blood of the breed Of the sire.
The next mating would then be be-
tween the female offspring of the first
mating and that Of sire of the tine
breed as used before. This would

ing amount. Leaf-curl usually comes

rains. prevails during March, April.
May, and June. 1t is to the April
weather that the most serious trouble
seems attributable With low tenn
peratures and frequent rains during
the early half Of that month we may
safely predict an outbreak OF leaf
cE.l. During such weather the fun
gus develops rapidly and the new
leaves are affected as they are pro-
truded from the bud. In nodded
sense the same takes place during
May and in still more limited sense
during June. Successful prevention
of leaf-curl is secured by thor 1h
early treatment with Bordeax mix
ture. Indeed. 1t appears that a
spraying at any time, shortly before
the blossoms open Is several times
more effective than any application
afterwards. It appears that more
effective results are secured by spray
ing two weeks before poisoning than
Immediately before the blossoms open.
In any event an application made
just before the blossoms open is more
effective than at any later date. Lime
sulfur applications for scale insects
are effective to prevent leaf-curl.

TURKEY HENS ARE T1sl1D.

The turkey hen is always anxious
to lay her eggs where no one will
find them. and sometimes those that
lay early in the spring will steal their
nests in some out-of-the-way place,
where the owner will not find them
until the first eggs laid are destroyed
by the cold. This emphasizes the i'm
portance of watching the hens closely
and locating the nests early. The
eggs should be taken away after the
hen has left the nest each day. Hard
boiled duck eggs. or even large hens
eggs hard boiled should be put in
their places to satisfy the layer.
1t Is not wise to go near these nests
while. the hens are on them, or to re-
move the eggs while the hens are in
tie Vicinity. If they discover that the
nests are found they are quite likely
to steal others and abandon the first.
When the hens become broody and
settle down on the nests to stay, the
fake eggs may be removed and their
owl, eggs put back while they are
away feeding.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS.

The value OF good roads is often.
not appreciated by the farmers as
much as It should be. OF course tho
burden Of making better roads falls
directely on them. which is another
side to the problem. The average
cost of hauling q ton one mile son tho
ordinary country roads is $.25. while
tho average price Of hauling one ton
one mile on the railroads is 81 of lie.
IN other words, the cost of hauling Is
SO times as much with teams and
wagon az with steam. This has been
accomplished by number Of factors.
Some Of these can be and must be
considered in making good roads. that
is, to have good hard road bed and
to eliminate grades. The railroads
do not as a rule have grade Of more
than 8 per cent. some of them have
adopted 2 per cent as the maximum
grade. Two per cent would mean a
rise of feet in q 100 feet.-W C.
