A good way to prevent hens from
overturning their drinking vessels,
is to punch hole in the side-near
the top Of a tin pail or old tomato
can-and hang it up on nail driven
into the woodwork of the chicken
house about six inches from the
ground. Be sure that there are no
sharp edges to the can, or that the
head OF the nail does not protrude
more than half an inch.
Most of the methods of breaking
up" hens from sitting are cruel,
and tire and distress the innocent
hens who are not to blame for their
instinct. The kindest way is the
following: When it is necessary to
stop the inclination, place the hen
in nice clean coop, alone, with
fresh grass, and all the fresh meat
cut fine that she will eat. The
meat Immediately increases the egg
nourishment, and while the hen is
having a really good time, she is fast
preparing herself to commence lay
ing eggs. It will take but two or
three days before she forgets all
about sitting, having other affairs
to attend to.

FERTILIzING SAeEBRUSH LAND

Never have the farmers of the
Pacific Northwest displayed keener
interest in the use of fertilizers.
They are coming to realize that no
matter how rich the soil is naturally,
it pays to conserve that richness.
This can be done by the use of any
one of a number of fertilizers. But
the natural desire is to get the most
economic form.
At Pullman, the agricultural fac
ulty has been conducting some in
teresting experiments along this line.
Prof. w. S. Thornber writing on
this subject, in answer to an in
quiry. said recently:
THE nitrate of soda received
last year for newly planted apple
trees, nursery stock and bearing
trees was used in the experiment as
planned and as a result OF our
work, | find that from two to four
ounces of Nitrate of Soda applied to
the ground from IL to IS inches
from the roots of newly planted
trees, that the growth is materially
increased, especially in raw sage
brush land. / shall recommend
this in my future publications as
have in one of my past bulletins.
Second, a slight application OF
the nitrate of soda worked into the
soil from 6 to 10 #. away from the
roots of bearing tree, rejuvenates
the tree materially and increases the
size of the fruit noticeably. This
experiment was conducted on such
varities as Jonathan and is especial
ly valuable for that type of fruit.
Third, that nitrate of soda used
in connection with the growing OF
nursery work applied as very light
application from 30 to 40 lbs. pei
acre being sufficient two or three
times during the season, we are able
to increase materially the tardy
growing sorts and find it especially
valuable for sections where plant
foods are not wholly available.

COST OF PRODUCING MILK

One essential point in the cost of
producing milk is the kind of COWS
Kept. 1t requires just as much labor
TO care for poor COW as good one
and the good one will produce double
tne amount Of milk that a poor one
Will. A recent bulletin gives some
very interesting figures on this sub
!ect. A very careful account was
kept on a herd of twenty COWS for
one year and the results showed an
average milk production of sos
pounds per COW while the cost of
ieedlng was SAL .06 per COW. Thus
'''e ieed cost Of producing the milk
was about seventy-two cents per 100
pounds. The two COWS with the
Oest records produced 9,O9S pounds
VI mix each at a food cost of s44.9
per COW. The cost of milk in this
Instance was so cents per 100
pounds The two poorest COWS of
'ns nerd averaged 1920 pounds of
milk each and the cost of their feed
way soo,9e per COW, making the cost
VIC milk more than 81 per 100
POUNDS y, These figures show verv

PLAN SERIES OF PRODUCT SHOWS

Advertised with advance notices
like a circus, playing five-day stands
in the largest auditoriums that can
be leased in cities of from 10, 600 to
5000 inhabitants throughout the
east and middle west, the North
west development league is planning
to send out next fall a special train
filled with exhibits showing the re-
sources of the American Northwest.
This is probably the greatest adj
vertising scheme ever promoted and
it is said by men who spent practi-
cally millions in development work,
to be capable Of securing better re-
suits than any campaign ever
planned to aid the settlement and
development of any section.
The shows will be known as See
America First" Expositions and
will aim not only to attract tourists
and induce them to travel through
the seven northwest states, but by
displays of products the expositions
will also claim the attention of the
homeseekers and show them the op-
portunities and inducements offered
on western lands.
The trip will last four months
and start from Minneapolis in early
December, following the Northwest
Products Exposition to be held in
that city November - to %.
The states which will participate
in these expositions will be the same
as those represented in the exposi-
ton in Minneapolis, which are
Minnesota, South Dakota, North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon.

4 hen, WITH A BAr1lN6 AVER
AGE OF 200 IS An able MEN

In the current number of Farm
and Fireside there are some extra
ordinarily interesting facts and fig
ures about the annual product of a
hen. An ordinary hen, lays about
100 eggs a year, but with careful at
tention hens can easily be made to
lay twice that much. Following is
the record of two hens:
Hen No. began laying Novem-
Der 3rd.

Total. .2OO eggs
The eggs of hen No. 1 weighed
% ounces; those of hen No. 2, D
ounces; each accurately weighed on
an apothecary's scale. Reckoned
on this basis, hen No. l laid ap-
proximately 80 pounds of eggs, and
hen No. 2, 81 pounds. within the
year, or over five times their own
weight in eggs.
The cost of feeding these hens,
exclusive of table-scraps and vege-
table waste from a family, was 81
cents per hen; all grain, meat and
oyster shells being purchased at re-
tail rates."
