INJURIOUS HABITS OF HENS
Pulling and Eating Of Each Others
Feathers May be Cured.

Sometimes flock OF hens acquire
the habit OF pulling and eating each
others feathers In some cases they
are so bad that the flesh of the fowls
become torn and sore, and the whole
hocks nearly naked.
When they, first show the signs Of
this vice measures should promptly
be taken to cure them
The trouble' is caused by too closely
combining the fowls and allowing them
to be idle Where possible they should
be turned on the range where the fasci-
nation of chasing bugs and eating the
green stuff will make them forget the
bad habit
When thew cannot be turned ont
thcv should be made to scratch for
their grain in a deep litter Bundles

RAISE GOOD POTATOES.

II you are i'll the potato belt, you can
raise potatoes very easily without ir-

very difficult matter to raise po-
tatocs either with OF without irriga-
tion. says the Ranch and Range EN-
actly what constitutes potato soil
10 one knows; but we are finding out
several elements without which we
cannot raise them. the chief of these
being potash and lime
Altitude seems to make little dill
ference to potatoes; they grow equally
well on the top Of mountain or down
at sea level, provided the season is
long enough.
There are certain rays of the sun
which are injurious to potato foliage.

potatoes need deep blowing, it is not
advisable TO plant them more than
four inches deep The rows can be
three feet apart and the hills in the
row not less than two feet If the
field Is narrowed as soon as the
sprouts appear and even should they
be covered. it will do more good than
harm. then when the sprouts come
through again they can be narrowed
some more, after this they should be
cultivated every time a crust forms,
and finally billed up with disk cul

mence to bloom, some say a little la

to depend somewhat ON the habit OF
the potato in question. the idea being
to hill them up when the tuber is
starting to make a quick growth. In
dry years the vines should be Trimmed
hv hand down TO one sprout to the
hill, thus we obtain. maybe less po-
tatocs. but of a more marketable size.
Good sized potatoes should be cut
for seed One good eye to each hill
is sufficient
Ten or Pinch fall blowing will
yield sometimes 200 bushels to the
acre.

Far too many focks OF mixed fowls

Eggs uniform in color and size are
worth more in the markets than eggs
mixed in color and size. The same
principle holds true when any con
