required are very simple-fuller's

Vegetables In Window Boxes.

II you live In a fiat and have no
ground available for gardening. do not
give up the idea Of raising some deli
cious fresh vegetables OF your own.
Many vegetables will grow In pots and
porch or window boxes just as well
as they will grow anywhere. It is very
easy to grow them. many of the plants
are as decorative as flowers. and the
product will be much nicer and very
much less expensive than store veg
etables.
The location of the vegetable boxes
is important, They should be placed
where the sun will strike them nearly
all day. Windows, porches and roofs
can be used to advantage. under prop
er conditions
1t Is usually better to use boxes or
trays instead of flower pots, as the
former will hold more plants to .
given area, dry out less quickly. and
are less liable to get broken.
Any dirt-tight wooden box, eight or
more inches deep. will make good
vegetable box These boxes have to
be deeper than hot bed trays because
the vegetables are to mature In them.
Bore some half inch holes in the bot
tom of the box to provide drainage.
Put in two inches of cinders. gravel or
other coarse material. Cover this
with from four to six inches Of fine
rich earth. prepared greenhouse earth.
II possible. 1t should be thoroughly en-
riched with fine, well rotted manure.
and some wood ashes will help. also.
Coal ashes possess no available plan:

Fasten your boxes firmly in place
and plant your vegetable seeds or
plants as you would regular garden.
II possible. these boxes should be
planted a month or six weeks before
they are going to be placed out OF
doors. 30 as to get good start in the
house. Put them in place when dan

Keep the soil we'll watered. and aft
er the plants are up It will be well to
keep the surface of the soil in crum'
bled condition. most Of the time.
Radishes, lettuce. Swiss chard, spin
ach. onions. garlic and leek can all be
grown from seed in boxes. Magnii-
cent crops of cumcubers and tomatoes
can be had all summer long. These
plants should be pruned and trained
on supports Of some kind. either wires

seen a trellis completely covered with

BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD 6oLTE.
SQUAD farming as a specially cannot
be classed as means Of making liv-
Ing. In fact 1t is usually q rapid way
Of losing an investment.
Widely advertised in the east, and
to certain extent in other sections
Of the country, 1t has attracted a great
many people by its limitless POSSIBLE
tiles on paper. They have invested
money In breeding stock" houses and
pens. Most of that money is still In
vested, but wide acquaintance with
poultry men and conditions all over
this country has failed to bring the
writer in touch with a single squad
farmer who has made a financial sue
cess Of 1t, and the poultry papers do
not write about them, which Is a pref
ty sure sign that this business has not
been followed successfully up TO this
time.
We might qualify this statement by
admitting that some of the sellers OF
breeding pigeons seem to have been
quite successful In their field. but
their success has been at the expense
Of the prospective squad raiser.
1t Is too bad, too, because It Is such
fine way to make living. on paper.
You see the pigeons mate in pairs and
stay mated for life. They raise two
squads, as the young ones are called.
every month, the cock and the hen
taking turns in setting on the eggs.
This makes twenty-four squads to mar
ket year, the average price running
from IS to So a dozen and the old
birds will live on from 81 to $3.50 and
support the young on that allowance,
clear profit Of $1050 a pair yearly.
Figuring fifty pairs Of pigeons to a
pen 10 feet by 20 feet with 100 feet OF
covered yard and then figuring that
one man can look after not less than
10 pens. we easily determine that our
yearly income will amount to $3.50
That is the kind of figuring that
leads one to invest In the breeders
breeding stock" at $3.50 pair. II
is sufficient to say that instead Of get.
|
ting twelve pairs of squads from each
pair Of pigeons, you will be lucky to
get an average Of four pairs, In large
numbers. They could not bring IN
over "a. leaving margin Of $3.50 a
year from each pair Of breeding
pigeons, or $1,000 gross profit from
500 pairs Of breeders.
The cost of a suitable house fol
these pigeons will not be less than
$3.50 and the breeding stock will
cost as much more. Interest, deprecia
ton, non-productive stock. parasites
and diseases will all cut into the gross
profits and the squads will bring In
closer to 2s cents pair than 6(
cents, unless they are extra fine.
We have had eighty-three adult
pigeons killed in one night by rats
This loss involves the loss Of thirty
six squads and over forty eggs, al

their matings broken up.

Feeding Hens for EGGS.

ANY good. healthy pullets will pro-
duce eggs profitably during the winter
months II they were Matched early
enough, regardless OF the exact feed
ing method used. This fact Is perfect
ly true to a degree, and II we had to
choose between late Matching with
scientific feeding and early Matching
with unskilled. but plenteous feeding.
we would choose the latter every time.
The hen Is not very particular
where she finds her food. and she has
an omniverous appetite. but nature
makes her balance up her ration
pretty well. provided she has access
to the various elements needed.
At the same time, the early-hatched
fowl will be benefited Just as much by
scientific feeding as will the late
Matched one, and the few simple rules
governing poultry feeding should be
thoroughly understood and followed
by every poultry keeper.
BY scientific feeding we mean the
nearest practical approach to the ex-
act requirements Of the fowls body
in producing eggs, tissue. heat and en-
ergy.
II a hen needs pound Of protein or
fesh-forming food and needs only four
pounds OF fats and starches, we must
not feed all corn. because in this case
she will have to eat about twelve
pounds Of starch to get her pound of
protein, and the surplus eight
pounds of starch will be wasted. make
her too fat to lay or make her sick.
The whole secret is to mix the food in
order to save that surplus Of starch
