Benefits of Fall PIowIna.

Fall plowing has many advantages.
Perhaps the greatest one among them
all is the fact that 1t does a great
oeal of helping to avoid the usual
rush of spring work. In these days
of labor scarcity. this meana a great
deal. Fall plowing is also very Of.
ficient in conserving the moisture sup
ply owing to the creation of a mulch
at the surface during the winter and
spring months. The practice of fall
plowing is not adapted to section
where the soil blows badly. but there
are really few such sections in the
middle west.

TRAINING TREE FOR
ANY SHAPE DESIRED
:are Should Be Exercised to Keep
Top Open to Admit Rays
Of Sun.

II is much better to train tree the
shape 1t is wanted than allow 1t to
grow wild, then chop and saw it into
the desired shape. says the Mirror
and Farmer.
If sprouts starting from the body
of the tree or along the main branches
are pinched when they are three or
four inches long they will ordinarily
form fruit spurs. Aim to get more
fruit buds near the body of. the tree
and along the larger limbs instead of
the branches
AS color Is an important factor.
care should be exercised to keep the
top open SO that the rays of the sun
can reach to every part at some por-
ton of the day. To accomplish this
1t may be well to do some pruning
when the tree is in full leaf: cutting
10 or even 15 per cent OF the top
away when the tree is in full leaf
will cause no serious injury.
If the trees are. carefully looked
over about three times during the
growing season, and the ends of
those spots that are growing too long
are pinched off. the tree may be kept
to the desired shape. But where a
shoot has been overlooked 1t is bet
ter to cut 1t out when found than
wait until winter. Negligence during
the growing season is about the only
logical reason for severe winter prun-
ing.
severe pruning while the tree is in
a dormant state stimulates more
about four.fifths of which will grow
where it is not wanted. necessitating
yet more cutting the following sea
sor- Pinching the summer pruning
stimulates the production of fruit
buds. and tends toward better ma
turity of both buds and fruit. Plan
TO grow an abundance of fruit spurs
well distributed over the whole tree.

PROPER FEEDING OF
MOULTING CHICKENS
Hens Require Extra Amount Of Care
and Attention During
Period.
CBy PROF. L. swINEY,


During moulting the hens require an
extra amount OF care and in fact all
the attention which can be given
them. In too many instances moult-
ing is considered just natural se-
quence of poultry keeping. The fowls
at this time are just as bad as a child
cutting his teeth. It is not the mere
fact of losing feathers or pushing a
tooth through as much as the consti-
tutional disturbance that is set up.
One symptom Of moulting is lethargy.
The birds, instead of being early risers.
| nope about on their perches and will
not venture out in search of food that
Is SO essential to them at this trying
period. Dainty food should be pre-
pared. Warm meal with dash of
spice In It in the morning and contin-
ual change.
In regard to grain: Corn. wheat.
barley, oats and mashed potatoes with
meal-anything to tempt the appetite
two or three rusty nails or bit OF
sulphur in the drinking water are
great helps. In confined runs meat
must be added. and. In fact. scraps OF
meat may well be given on any run.
Two things are essential: "a That
fairly early each morning the hen
house should be cleared OF belated
risers (2) the floor should be swept
! at the same time. as lot of vermin
come off with the shed feathers. These
sweepings should be taken right away
and not put on the nearest manure
heap. After moulting is over give
morning mash of shorts and bran in
crumbly condition and feed plenty
of oats.
