FREE RANGE NEEDED
BY YOUNG CHICKENS
Gardens are in Such Shape in
Fall That Fowls win Do More
Good Than Injury.

Where hens OF chicks have been
confined in small yards during the
spring and summer they should be
turned out on free range now, If pos
sible. A yard which has been in use
all the season will by this time need
attention. In most cases 1t Is apso-
lutely bare, and well contaminated
The chickens in 1t are not receiving
a fair chance.
Gardens are in such shape that the
chickens will do them little damage
now. and 70 turn the hens loose will
reduce the cost of the feed bill, as
well as make them happy. In case
geveral varieties are kept good plan
Is to turn each flock out at least one
or two days week, or better still, a
few hours each day. This method
will give them all range without
mixing the 1ocks.
The yards themselves should be
plowed or spaded up, and this fall
sown to some crop, such as oats, rye
or wheat The crop will purify the
soil. as well as furnish green food
for the flock. It is only by careful
attention to these details that hens
can successfully be kept in small
wards

PLANT RESTRICTION
Is BIG ESSENTIAL
Principle Must Be Put Into Prac.
tiCe in Order to Make Sue
cess in Fruit Growing.

,By M n. EDGGERTON. Michigan)
Most small fruit plants perpetuate
and multiply their species in two
ways. through the production of seed
and nodes.
Seeds are produced in the fruit OF
plants. Nodes are the knot-like pro-
tuberances that appear on the stems
of the plants, with the strawberry,
stems are known as runners.
With this plant new fruits are made
as the runners lengthen Leaves
spring upward from the nodes and
the roots strike downward into the
soil very quickly If the soil is loose
and moist.
Red raspberries and blackberries
propagate in much the same way
the roots acting as runners.
II allowed to follow the natural
course Of its being this purpose Of its
life will be prosecuted to the fullest
possible extent without reference to
the quality or quantity OF fruit pro.
duced.
1t is by placing restriction upon the
plants in this matter of reproduction
that larger crops OF better fruit are
secured.
The plant has only certain amount
Of energy to use, therefore reduce
the number of seeds to be matured
and the entire energy Of the plant
is directed to the building up OF the
remaining seeds and seed receptacles.
In order to make a success in grow.
Ing fruit OF whatever kind, the prin.
practice, for plant restriction Is one
Of the essentials of fine fruit growing,
In strawberry growing we find that
those varieties which show tendency
toward propagation by means of nodes
do not grow large fruits, while those
varieties which send out few runners
either produce large fruit or numerous
fruit clusters.
Our method Of culture requires
that each mother plant ia to furnish
only. After these are secured all
further growth OF runners Is re-
stricted.
The growing OF this number of
plants does not draw upon the vitality
CT the plants concerned materially
so that practically the entire energy
of the plants is directed into the
channel of fruit production.
The less growth these runners arc
allowed to make the more nearly per
feet will be the conservation OF the
plant energy.
In this principle OF conserving plant
energy we have one OF the essential
factors Of great crops OF fine fruit.
II, In strawberry culture, this prin.
ciple is carefully followed out and
accompanied by scientific rowing and
intensive cultivation In the presence
Of highly fortified soil, tho build.
ing up OF immense fruiting crowns

IBy i. l.. wASHBURE.)

tBy j.. L. WASftbORN,
Last year a great deal of timothy
seed in the northern states was de-
stroyed by the species OF army worm
known as the Wheat-Head worm.
The injury was most severe on high
sandy soil. In every case investigated,
however. 1t was found that the pest
had its origin in old timothy fields
that he'd been allowed to run four
years or more without being plowed.
After the timothy heads are eaten,
the worms turn their attention to
oats. wheat or corn; travelling In an
army from one field to another--hence
their name.
They appear to be somewhat sub
jcct to the attacks OF parasites; and
are undoubtedly, in common with
other caterpillers, devoured by pre-
dnceous beetles, by birds, and die on
account of fungous or bacterial dis
eases. Nevertheless, these factors
simply serve to keep them within
bounds, and 1t is absolutely necessary,
when a farmer is confronted with n
horde of these worms stripping his
timothy field. and preparing to march
to grain fields, to know what to do
and to realize that whatever is to be
done must be done without delay in
order to be effective.
Fall blowing and the rotation OF
crops, sovereign remedies for many
field-insects. are valuable here. Ii
farmers would plow up their timothy
fields at least once In three years, 1t
would be help in connection with
this or any other insect which found
there an undisturbed breeding-sTouno.
