SPADE UP CHICKEN FEEDING
PLACES.

On most farms feed for the
flock is scattered about on the
ground, and the chickens are con-
tlnually fed within a small space.
The surface of the ground soon
becomes foul with the droppings
of the flock. True, the sunshine
acts as a germicide, AMI if the
space is at all Sloping the washing
of the rain helps some, but gener-
ally the spot is level and often
muddy. The ground quickly be-
comes contaminated, with the
continual tramping of the flock,
and if there he one sick fowl the
whole flock may soon become in
fected. This is especially true with
small chicks and young turkeys.
The Spadins up of the feeding
place once or twice per week viii
bring good results. 1t will tend to
purity the ground. 1t will induce
exercise on the part of the flock,
which is always desirable. Espe-
Cially is this true when the flock
is confined in yards, and green
feed, 50 necessary, is difficult to
obtain. If grain IS scattered as
one spades up the ground, much
will be buried 50 deep that hens
will not scratch it out and il will
be thrown up at the next spading
with green SuCCulent blades that
are greatly reliShed BY the flock.

PIGWEED

Prevent pigweed from going to
seed, and avoid sowing the seed
in grain and grass seeds. Ere
uuent and thorough cultivation Of
the seed bed before sowing The
seed will check growth in grain
fields. Good blowing, thorough
cultivation. with some hand hoe
ing and pulling, will eradicate the
weed from cultivated crops. It
does not give serious trouble ir
fields where crops are grown in Z
good rotation. 1t IS most trouble

IMPROVED SYSTEM OF
BREEDING

If one will plan to have the
calves come at all seasons. the fall
and winter calves escape the tor
ture of the extreme summer heat
and: the swarming, Fostering flies.
For this reason the fall and
winter calves develop into much
more desirable COWS for the dairy
than the summer calves.
Where all the calves are drop
ped in the spring it's a big job to
care for and handle all of them
while they are young.
If short space of time inter
yenes between the coming of each
calf there will be little time lost
in attending to each one during
its early career-when it is the
most trouble and more susceptible
to some arrangement if slighted.
Then, having some heavy milk
ers at all times is profitable plan.
This all-the-vear-around-d -dairyin9
is what brings in the steady in
come, which will be especially
welcome in the dead of winter
when the price of dairy products
soar skyWard.
1t will also prove a great con
venience in supplying for the
Kitchen and table those most nee
essary articles so often missing il
winter: Milk, cream and butter.
Another big advantage to b'
derived from having the COW
freshen at different seasons of tn
year is that of avoiding the hand
ling of calves and almost all tht
dairy products at time when th'
farmer ought to be in fields plant
ing or cultivating his crops.
Although winter has its draw
backs as a dairy season, SO ha
