CARE OF POULTRY
IN SNOW time
Warmth and Dryness Factors
In Winter Egg Production.

The hen is as helpless in the snow
as if she had no legs at all. She must
have some place, however, where food.
water and the dust bath are accessi-
BILE. for she will not lay if compelled
to crouch on the floor beneath the
roOsts. With snow on the ground the
world is a wilderness to hens. They
have no inducements to lay and will
quickly defer egg production until
spring weather arrives. The flock will
appreciate warm. commodiOus
scratching shed. when the ground is
covered with snow, better than at any
other time.
They can go out and do little for
aging in rainy weather, but when deep
SHOWS come they must be kept in
doors, and q scratching shed is essen
tial to keep them healthy and in lay
ing condition. If you have no shed for
your hens to scratch in then few
square yards in front of the chicken
house should be cleared away Of snow,
where the hens can 90 out for little
while during the sunshiny days. The
food ut such times should be given
warm Mt least once a day and fed on
clean boards or in troughS. so that 1t
may not be contaminated with the
filth that is on the floor Of the poultry
house. 4 warm place should be pro
videG for them to roost in and the
house rendered as comfortable as pos
sible. The main factors in egg pro,
Guction in winter are warmth and dry
ness. Kansas Farmer.

HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS
Depth of Trench, Drainage and Fer
tilization are Important

It is time to plant sweet peas.
though it may be delayed with safety
for two or three weeks. Plant thickly.
and thin out later on until the vines
are about two inches apart.
Sweet peas never should be planted
in the same earth two years in success
sion. If the bed is not moved, then
the old earth should be taken out of
the trench and new earth put in.
The trench should be two or more
feet in depth In the bottom of Il
place heavy clay. Throw in earth
we'll mixed with rotted manure. If
good manure is not available, COM
mercial fertilizers may be used.
Leave the surface of the trench
three or four inches below the surface
OF the surrounding earth. Dig the
furrow for the peas four inches deep.
Wood, or even fine coal ashes may
probably be sprdnkled in the trench
with the seeds. Cover the seeds with
four inches of earth.
When the plants are two or three
inches high shovel into the bed around
them an inch of we'll pulv erized
earth. Repeat this when the plants
have grown.

value to the pom ologists of the state
at large and of this valley in partic-
ular. He is preparing a table show
ing the quantity of spray material Of
the different kinds used during the
season of 1911 and the cost per tree
He will be able to show, also how
much was used in the fighting of all
of the pests and the proportion de-
manded by each particular pest. He
will be able to show how much spray
material of all kinds is used at the
present time and his data will fur
nish a basis for an estimate of the
quantity which will be required in the
future, at any definite time when
taken together with the nursery and
planting data which the state de-
partment of horticulture is getting
together
Already a large proportion of the
lime and sulphur spray used here is
of home manufa cture- Sprays are
changing from time to time and new
methods are being followed 1t is
altogether probable that in time the
various sprays used, not the lime and
sulphur solution merely will be man
ufactured here.
