POULTRY RAISING
FOR FARM GIRLS
Let Her Have Entire Care and
Management of Fowls for
Specified Share.
CBy ANNIE HoFFARTH.1

To the boy on a farm is usually
given some property of his own, even
when quite small 1t is no uncommon
thing to see him given a share in
the crops when he is large enough to
do a mans work. The father fur
nishes tools, team seed and fertilizer.
and the boy crops with him on the
same terms as his tenant. This is
perfectly proper and as it should be;
but why not give his sister a chance,
also?
There is the flock of poultry and
buildings; or, if there are no build.
ings, there should be some erected
right away. Then turn the poultry
raising over into her hands, letting
her have the entire care and manage
ment of the fowls, for a certain speci-
fed share Of the profit.
Measure out and set aside so much
wheat, oats and corn for their feed,
and if you do not think her work
about the house pays for this feed
over and above her board and clothes,
Charge IL up W tue HUN ~ Give uOt
a fair start. get her good 100-egg in
cubator, and brooder of correspond
ing size, so that she can raise early
chickens.
Any girl of average intelligence can
learn to manipulate a simply con-
structed incubator, or at least did,
and my machine was the first one l
ever saw. | am now earning more
money than several of my girl friends
who are stenographers and clerks in
the city.
Poultry raising is business that
calls for brains, and it is a business
that will grow. 1t is not overcrowd-'
ed; you are not subjected to the
whims of an exacting employer; you
are not forced to live in third-cass
boarding house; there is no car fare
to pay: and best of all, the girl can
stay right at home with the dear
mother.

HOW FERTILIZERS
SHOULD BE USED
For Best Results They Should Be
Combined With Animal Ma
nure or Rotted Sod.

To obtain the best results from the
use of chemical fertilizers they should
always be used in connection with ami
NAL manure or rotted sod. The two
give the greatest returns at the least
cost. The quantity to apply to the
acre will depend upon the condition
of the ground. In soils which have
been built up by the free use Of sta
BILE manure or green crops very
small quantity of fertilizer can be
profitably used to start the seed
About 250 to 300 pounds may be ap-
piled to the acre in the hill for corn.
Use a good corn fertilizer. This
quantity will give the corn vigorous
start. which it will maintain through
out the growing season. A fertlllzer
should always be drilled in with the
grain. If sown in the drill or dropped

plant. says writer in the Baltimore
American. The phosphate should never
he thrown in a pile in the hill;
sprinkle it over a four-inch space, so
the first rainfall can dissolve the
plant food 1t is then ready to be
taken up by the delicate corn roots.
Land that is so poor that 1t cannot
grow weeds will not give a profitable
Weld of corn with little fertilizer
dropped in the hill. Such land needs
rotted vegetable matter. This can be
best furnished by sewing cow-peas or
buckwheat and turning the crop down
when in full bloom. Thorough prepar'
alton of the land before planting and
extra culture during the season OF
growth will often give a fair yield
from thin land. l have made a great
many practical experiments in the ap-
plication of fertilizers to red clay and
rotten rock soils and | have invaria'
blv found that the most profit was
realized when good bonemeal or
other nitrogen fertilizer was used in
connection with stable manure or
rotted clover and grass sod.

CROW IS FRIEND OF FARMER
Biological Survey Discovers That

Washington-The biological survey,
