MATURING FOR POTATOES.
Massachusetts, Specialist differs from
Familiar Methods in Fertilizer.

DR.. J Fisher of Fitchburg, Mass, is
very successful in growing large crops
of potatoes. and he varies from our
familiar methods principally in his
fertilizer formula, the preparation and
planting of the seed. Following is
the formula:
Two hundred and twenty-five
pounds of sulphate ammonia; $50
pounds nitrate OF soda: 80 pounds
South Carolina floats; $50 pounds acid
phosphate; $50 pounds sulphate of
potash: 80 pounds sulphate mag
nesia; 200 pounds air-slacked lime;
2375 pounds costing about $40.
Two-thirds of this formula will be
spread broadcast and will be har-
rowed in before planting. The seed
potatoes are treated with the zorro
sivc sublimate solution to prevent
scab, then spread in a greenhouse and
allowed to sprout several weeks. AT
planting time the seed is cut and only
one sprout lett on each piece, the sur
plus sprouts being purposely broken
off DIR. Fisher considers potato the
size OF marble, which has been
started in this way and all but the best
sprout rubbed off as very good seed.
Furrowing out is done with horse
hoe and the seed is planted under a
line. giving perfectly straight rows
and exact distance between plants.
Each seed piece is set upright and
covered with about two inches of
earth; the remaining third of the fer
tilizer is now scattered in the drill
and covered by running the horse hoe
between the rows The horse weeder
and cultvator are used so frequently
and thoroughly as to avoid hand
hoeing,

TO MANAGE TURKEY PoULTs.
Breeding of Youngsters Demands
Strict Attention to Details.
(By Cooper Curtice.)


The artificial or natural brooding OF
poults, although a comparatively sim
pie operation, demands strict atten-
ton TO details and is the most impor-
tant phase in turkey raising, inasmuch
as the first month of the poults life
is the most precarious period. From
that period onward all other dangers,
excepting that of blackhead disease,
continue to grow less.
If hen is confined in roomy,
covered pen, and the poults are care
fully yarded during the first month,
she will, barring the ravages of black
head disease, raise 90 per cent of
them If she is allowed to roam she
may raise as many, but it will depend
largely upon their fortuitous escape
from water, cold and animal foes.
Their survival may also depend upon
the individual characteristics of the
hen as a brooder, and upon the care
which she receives.
Poults improperly brooded during
the first week begin to die in the sec
ond. They seem at this early age par
ticularly subject to lung and abdo-
minal troubles Overheating and
chilling, and rapid changes from hot
to cool conditions, affect them fatally
The connection between the lungs
and the abdominal air sacs is such that
both are effected by colds. One Of
the most common results of these in
Examinations is a suspension OF eating
followed by the absence of ingesta in
the intestine. The consequence OF
This is that the white material eX
GREETED by the kidneys becomes more
apparent, and gives rise to the symp-
tom called white diarrhoea. While
this inflammation may or may not be
due TO specific germ, the disease IS
so readily prevented by proper tenn
perature conditions during the first
three weeks of the poult's life that it
matters little whether it is germ dis
ease or not. The disease is on the
same basis as pneumonia III human
beings. since germs in that case may
cause the disease, but they seem to
get their first foothold by inflam-
nations produced in the tissues as a
result of changes OF temperature.

good at all times.
The best class of dairy cows cannot
return a profit unless they have all
the clean and wholesome feed they
can possibly consume at all times dur
ing the winter
1t is a mistake to keep COWS on
scant rations during the winter. The
COW that goes through the winter on
semi starvation rations suffers a shock
from which her system is very slow
in recovering and il the half rations
are continued any length of time her
milk giving capacity for the approach
ing reshening period is materially de
creased.

feeds to keep them i'll good, thrifty

Excellent Investment.

One of the best forms of invest
ment on the farm is the liberal feed
ing OF farm animals of all kinds; and
the colt is no exception. a well-bred
colt. il properly taken care of and fed
the right kind of feed during his first
three years of life, will bring from
SIS to 500 more when three years
old than the one that is neglected
and poorly fed, Good young horses
are always in demand on the market,
and can only be supplied from the
farms where colts receive the proper
care and treatment.

POULTRY NOTES.

Chickens must have green food
All hens like to lay in dark nest
boxes
Hens will relish a feed of scalded
oats at any time.
Chickens are often considered a
nuisance by the farmer.
Never set thin, lousy hen She
won't stay her time out,
On cold evenings the hens must be
sent to roost with full crops
A little cayenne pepper in the mash
will warm the hens up and help cure
colds
Coal oil and carboic acid are good
lice and mite killers as well as dis
infectants.
Some hens seem to know when it
is feeding time 1t will pay you to
humor them and be prompt and reg
ular.
II is best that the young turkeys be
come accustomed to their attendant
and to all persons and animals about
the place
You can get the advantage of your
white eggs just as well as the middle

That is the right way, anyhow.

GIVE THE BOY SMALL FLOCK
Plan Given for Coop to Accommo date
Ten or Twelve Fowls.
(By Mrs. X. A. Grimes.)

II boy has fowls of his own. he
will want to manage them so as to
keep them separate from the other
poultry on the farm The following
plan which is arranged to accommo
date ten or twelve hens and a male
has been found satisfactory.
The coop in question is five feet
wide and twelve feet long. giving a
floor space of sixty square feet-t've
or six square feet per hen. 1t is six
feet high at the front and four feet
at the back, and is built from cheap
lumber and covered with tarred roof
ing.
The door into the coop is put n one
end OF the front wall 1t is closed
with a frame covered with wire net
ting having curtain OF muslin on tie
inside for use in the cold weather
The upper half of the remaining part
of the front is also left open and GOV
cred with netting. with an inside mus
lin curtain.
In the warm weather these curtains
are kept rolled up, but in cold weather
they are let down over the openings
The only other openings in the
coop are four little square doorways,
eight by ten inches in size.
In the center of the back wall, two
feet above the floor. fasten a frame
two feet wide and three feet long.
carrying two roosting poles. This
frame should be hinged to the wall.
so it can be raised out OF the way
when desired.
Under it, loot from the floor.
make a little platform OF boards to
catch the droppings. Do not fasten
this anywhere. as you will want to
take it up TO clean it.
On the front corners OF the roost
ing frame put legs a loot long. which
should rest on this dropping board
when the roost is lowered in place.
Have both resting poles the same
height, not set so the frame will
slant
On the ceiling. directly above the
roost. nail strips OF inch board so as
to make a frame the same size. or a
trihe larger. than the roost itself.
TO this tack strips of burlap- sack
ing long enough to reach the flor,
and wide enough to completely sur
round the cop when they are dropped
in place.
OF the lower edges put Stats to
keep them in place. as on the other
curtains. On cold nights this makes
snug and yet not stuffy sleeping
place for the biddes
The nest boxes-two are plenty
should be placed in the darkest part
of the coop. This will be against the
front wall, in the corner iarthest from
the outer door

Frozen Eggs Fatal.

In an experiment at Philadelphia
guinea pig died twelve hours after IT
was innoculated with frozen eggs.
The dealer from whom the eggs were
obtained was arrested on the charge
that he had been selling frozen eggs
that have been removed from the
shell and disposed of to bakers, who
thaw out the product.
