Green Flood Growers.

The bringing Of the chickens In
from the range upon watch they have
grown from little chicks, into the lay
inc home, is apt to be very violent
and abrupt transition. Al authority
upon the raising of poultry probably.
has the following to say on the subject.
at has seemed in studying the bir' s
in the fal, of the year that the change
from the range to the laying house.
was an important one in the life Of the
bird, and that the results during the
subsequent winter with reference to
egg production depended much upon
the way this transition was made. 1t
seemed advisable both on general
grounds and from observation of the
birds themselves to make this change
as gradual as possible. With this idea
in mind the pullets have been brought
into the houses ON the range much
earlier during the past few years than
was the custom beforehand the re-
suits have been excellent. When the
pullets are first brought /. it is not
advisable to shut thLm up entirc.y in
tie houses al cnce. On the contrary
our work is planned in such way
that there Is always a freshly-seeded
yard full Of green grass for the birds
to run in after they are brought into
the house until cold weather sets IN.
The fowls are brought from free range
into a condition of restricted range.
but with better pasturage on the re-
stricted range than on the free range.
The yards are freshly seeded and have
not been trampled down or burned or
| dried out by the sun. as Is the grass

POULTRY NOTES.

When fowls crowd at night. which
Is the case when the number quar-
tered is greater than the capacity of
the house. they sweat. This sweating
causes the feathers to rot at the base
giving them the very appearance OF
melting.
1t is a noted fact that where roup
has become epidemic among fowls
they were crowded in tightly built
houses when the weather was very
cold and these houses allowed to re-
main closed all the next day. This
creates a moisture which generates
dampness and the house becomes a
vault.
The poultryman who follows prac-
teal system does not complain of the
work. System Is great labor-saver
sin all occupations. and especially so In
raising poultry.

Potato Yiie:.ls.el i:

A very interesting series OF tests N
potato growing in Ohio. show con-
clusively that great advantage is to De
gained by spraying for blight. In four
wet years, when blight Is usually
severe, out of forty-four comparisons
OF fifty feet of sprayed vines with TIE
corresponding unsprayed vines the
sprayed lots gave a greater yield. The
averages for the four years or these
sprayed and unsprayed potatoes give
an average increase Of about 81 per
cent. In every one Of the years, the
spraying, theoretically, much more
than paid for itself.
The Bordeaux (4-4-50 formula)
spraying was done three times, the
first being about the middle of July.
the last about the first of September.
All of the potatoes we're sprayed for
insects so as to make the conditions
the same so far as insect injury was
concerned. The potatoes were planted
level and in ridges. The increased
yield of the potatoes was not only due
to increased numbers of marketable
tubers. but also to increased weight Of
the tubers. especially the larger ones.
AS a result of these tests the follow
ing recommendations are made: We
advise rotation, having potatoes on a
different piece Of land each year. A
good four-year rotation is-C) Corn.
(2) Potatoes. (3) Rye. 90 Legum-
inous crop. (Sow in fall with the rye,

In controlling the aforementioned
as we'll as other insects, apple growers
should apply their arsenical sprays at
times when they will be Of the greatest
possible service. There Is limit to
the number Of sprays which can be
profitably applied, especially since In
many cases 1t Is also necessary to give
separate sprayings of fungicides at
times when no lnsecticide Is required
and wise versa For instance. it Is
generally conceded that spraying with
fungicide is necessary before the
opening Of the apple bloom. for the
purpose Of reducing apple scab, though
the addition of an arsenical at that
time can have no effect in destroying
the larvae of the coddling moth and

NUTS RICH IN FOOD VALUE.

Peanuts are said to afford twice as
much nourishment as beef steak. rice
or beans and eight times as much as
potatoes.
Next in food values to the peanut,
comes the chestnut. which Is so
starchy as to be almost a bread. In
Italian kitchens. it takes the place OF
cereals. Chestnuts are used in soups,
sauces, purees. forcemeats, entrees,
and all manner Of sweet dessert dishes.
Fresh almonds are exceedingly nu-
trtious, but prove far more digestible
when blanched. This is quickly done
by covering the nut meats with boiling
water, letting them stand three or four
minutes, then rubbing off the brown
skins between the thumb and forefin-
ger. Dried, then sailed In the oven.
almonds make an excellent digester. a

frequently relieving indigestion from

English walnuts, hickory nuts, and
pecans are also high in nutritive value.
The black walnut, which is stronger in
flavor, is growing in favor for cakes.

Corn Stalk Disease

Farmers in the corn belt, especially
in the middle and upper Mississippi
Valley, have, at various periods ex-
standing cornstalks after the corn has
been harvested in the autumn.
An element of mystery has sur
rounded the death Of cattle in these
instances. The disease Is character
lied by very rapid course; in fact,
very commonly there are no Fremont
tory symptoms, and 1t Is not unusual
for the owner upon visiting the field In
the morning to find one or more fat
cattle dead which on the previous
evening were apparently in excellent
health.
Another POPULARITY Of the disease is
that losses may occur on one farm or
in one field while cattle on an adjoin-
ing farm or in an adjacent field may be
free from the affection.
Various investigators In the past
have attempted to discover some germ
or organism or some toxic substance
which might be determined as the
cause Of this condition, but thus far
the cause of the disease has not been
established.
AS death of stock from this affection
is generally sudden and there Is little
opportunity for treatment animals
should not be turned into field with
standing stalks.
AS a matter Of fact the disease may
be actually prevented by cutting the
stalks early and only feeding them
after they have been carefully cured
and removed from the field. Losses
from feeding on standing cornstalks
emphasize the economic value OF cut
ting the corn and feeding the stalks
in the barnyard or corral. or, better
still, shredding the dry stalks, under
which condition they may be fed with
the least possible waste.

A Few Reasons for the
Popularity Of Silage
BY T. f. Woodward.

I. More feed can be stored In
given space In the form of silage than
in the form Of fodder or hay.
g. There is a smaller loss OF food
material when a crop Is made into
silage than when cured as fodder or
hay.
8. Corn silage Is more efficient
feed than corn fodder
4. An acre Of corn can be placed In
the silo at less cost than the same area
can be husked and shredded.
S. Crops can be put in the silo dur
ing weather that could not be utilized
in making hay or curing fodder.
g. More stock can be kept on q
given area Of land when silage is the
basis of the ration.
7. There is less waste in feeding
silage than in feeding fodder. Good
silage properly fed Is all consumed
8. Silage is very palatable.
9. Silage, like other succulent feeds,
has a beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest and best
form in which a succulent feed can be
provided for winter use.
H. Silage can be used for supple
menting pastures more economically
than can soiling crops. because 1t re-
quires less labor, and silage Is more
palatable.
IL. Converting the corn crop into
silage clears the land and leaves ],
ready for another crop.

Does it Pay to Sp ray Apple Trees?
About This the Mind Any Oardst Glance
at+he Accompanying Illustrations Convince Him.

Of much value in preventing damage
from either Of these two insects.
A very important spraying Is the
one Just as the blossoms begin to show
the pink. At that time we get the two
kinds of canker worms. bud moth.
leaf roller. aphis and curculio. But
the most important spraying Is tho one
for the coddling moth. Just after the
petals fall and after the bees have
stopped working on the blossoms-at
that spraying we try to get poison into
the calyx Of every apple. 1t Is gen.
orally understood that eggs are laid
on the leaf while the blossoms are
open. In a short time the eggs hatch
and the worm takes a bite or two
from the leaf. then crawls into the
calyx to eat and burrow into the young
apple. But with the poison in the
calyx he soon perishes Moreover.
