AFTER-HARvEST CULTIVA-
TON FOR The DRY FARMER

The moisture supply for the
growth of plants in dry land agri-
culture comes from the natural pre-
cipitation. The greater portion of
our rainfall comes during the winter
months. Plants are not growing at
this season and cannot make use of
the moisture as it comes. How best
to hold and conserve the winter pre-
cipitation is the problem. 1t has
been found at the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station at Pullman that
soil which is in a loose open condi-
ton will take in and hold from Is
to IS per cent more moisture than
one which is in a hard compact
condition. Soils which have been
thoroughly loosened up during the
late summer and early fall, before
the rainy season, either by thorough
discing or fall blowing, give yields
OF from five to ten bushels per acre
more than the same type of soils
that are allowed to go through the
winter untouched after harvest.
Discing to a depth of four or five
inches as soon after harvest as prac-
ticable, is just as efficient and bene-
fetal as fall blowing, and is easier
and more economically accom-
plished. More of the winter rain
fall will be held, run-off and wash
ing will be prevented and the soil
will be benefited where the stubble
land has been given thorough disc
ing during the late summer or early
fall. Try it!

are an actual detriment to the lay
ing flock and the practice of keep
ing three or four over winter, eating
their heads off, might we'll be given
up. After the Matching period
they should be disposed of.
In preparing for market, fowls
fatten far more readily and with less
food if not permitted to run at large.
A small enclosure, made Of wire
netting surrounding any kind of
open shed provided with roosts,
answers admirably for the purpose
unless the weather is very cold.
Some kind OF grit, also fresh water
should be always in reach. Corn
is the best whole grain to feed fat
tening fowls. A thick mush of corn
meal is said to be better still, par
ticularly if made with sweet milk.
A laying flock may be reduced in
numbers by judicious culling in
such way as to actually increase
the egg yield. 1t stimulates laying
in those remaining, when the flock
has been over crowded. A mixed
flock of so hens nigh! be made to
yield better returns by removing
all the old ones, even should this
leave not more than half the origi-
nal number. Then give the same
feed to those kept over. 1t is poor
policy to keep old hens through the
moult and the following winter
when the chances are that they will
not produce eggs enough for their
keep. If it is desirable to keep a
larger flock, better sell the older
ones and buy an equal number of
pullets. Pound for pound, at mar
ket prices, this would be pro6ta-
bic way to manage and give better
returns in egg money.

CULlING THE FLOCK

Before moulting begins the flock
should be culled and all fowls not
wanted for wintering or for sale
later on should be sold. Under
this head come old hens and roos-
tiers which are often kept in the
flock long after they have ceased to
be of any value. There is no use
in retaining them, as the food they
eat and the space they occupy in
the poultry house might better be
given to the others. Prices are bet
ter at present than they will be
later and now is the time to turn
improbable fowls into cash.
1t has been proven that males
