Chicken FARMING.

There is no agricultural subject of
greater interest to all classes OF peo-
pie than poultry keeping in some form
or other.
Overy eighty out of a hundred farm
ers, large and small, the country over,
keep hens. About forty per cent. of
the householders in small towns and
villages keep backyard fiocks, and the
number of flocks in the great cities is
positively astounding.
Almost every man you know has
at some time been possessed with the
idea that the easiest way on earth to
make a living is with chickens. II
you doubt it, ask the next man you
meet what he thinks about the chick
en- business.
Go to few poultry shows next win
ter, after having industriousiy read
the monthly issues OF couple of good
poultry journals this summer, and by
the time the incubator salesman gets
in his work it will take a straight
jacket to keep you from starting to
keep chickens. And really, it is a
very fascinating occupation.
No one need be ashamed Of being a
chicken crank" in these days, because
the poultry industry of the country is
assuming such vast proportions that
it bids fair to overtop any other sin
gle agricultural product in value at
the time of the next census. Further
than this, no other product can equal
it for net profits to the producer, be-
cause the investment In stock and
equipment is exceedingly small COM
pared to the returns. The labor, land
and building investment represented
by one dairy COW would take care Of
enough hens to bring in three times
the profit.
Now then, can man OF ordinary In
telligence, no experience and small
capital, hope to get rich by raising
chickens? There is but one answer
and that is, that he may hope to, but
he will not make good.
The writer is personally acquainted
with prominent poultry men in nearly
every state in the Union, and while
many of them are well to do, not one
is rich, even from the farmers stand
point.

ing. a steady Joy and an assured home.
The production of eggs is the safest
and easiest field for the beginner and
where this is to be the speciality. the
White Leghorn breed is pre-eminent
for large fiocks, outside of New Eng
land and other districts demanding
brown-shelled eggs.
In order to be successful, the start
must be made in a small way, and the
ideal plan is for the prospective own
er to work on some successful poul-
try plant for at least six months or
preferably a year, in order to learn
the business from the inside. Do not
underestimate the Importance of this,
as this business is the most detailed
and intricate of all the agricultural in
dustrfes.
The returns are very satisfactory
when the plant is intelligently handled
Thousand hen plants may be equipped
with an investment Of from four to
six thousand dollars and the net re
turns are from dollar per hen up to
the high figures secured by the fancy
stock breeders.
We knew three men in southern New
England, one making $500 from g
thousand hens, another making $4,000
with only four hundred hens, and the
third spent a hundred thousand dol
lars on his poultry plant and lost II
all. The first two started small and
grew slowly. The last one started big
and ended small.

Cold Storage for Fruit.

Three systems Of cold storages are
commonly used for fruit-the ammo
mia system, carbonic acid gas and cal
cium chloride-says the New England
Homestead. All are chemical stor-
ages; but in a region where natural
ice can be obtained cheaply, the cal
cium chloride gravity system seems to
be much cheaper than the two first,
and equally good. The ammonia sys-
tenn has to be pumped at a pressure OF
200 pounds to 400 pounds to the square
inch. Both these require expensive
duplicate machinery and high-priced
engineers night and day, while the cal.
cium chloride uses cheap machinery
and ordinary help. G. H. Powell, for
merly with the United States depart
ment at Washington, says the calcium
chloride gravity system is the best fol
northern localities.

Rhubarb.

How few rhubarb plants one sees
growing and how nice that old-fash-
ioned spring tonic Isl Considering
the fact that it costs practically moth
ing to plant 1t and the plants come up
year after year, there is no reason
why we should not, all of US, have all
of the pieplant pie that we can eat
every spring. Half dozen hills viii
supply an average family.
Harvest time for rhubarb is the
spring and early summer, but we fire.
Quently get a second crop in the fall.
Sandy loan is best for this plant,
but it will grow well in any rich,
warm, moist soil. You cannot get the
soil too rich for rhubarb, and it does
not stand drouth very well.
Do not try to grow the plants from
seed If you can secure root cuttings
from a good, strong old hill. Each
cutting should have two buds or eyes.
Plant them in rows three feet apart,
with the eyes an inch below the sur
face. They will begin to grow at once
and, If planted early, a few stalks
can be pulled the first year.
AS fast as seed stalks appear cut
them of II very fine, large stalks
are wanted, and why not have the
best, thin out all but the center buds,
so that the entire strength of the
plant will feed these.
After the leaves are cut back by

four inches of straw or manure. This
prevents freezing and makes the next
years crop earlier.
While the plants will start early,
at the same time the leaves will not
push through this covering until after
danger of spring frosts is past, hence
it should not be removed too soon.
Many commercial growers keep the
soil covered with straw the year
round in order to keep weeds down
and hold moisture without cultivation.
Cover the plants in the winter any
way. 1t will avoid disappointment

Every three or four years it is ad.

this is not done, the plants run out

Any surplus can always be sold in

And, furthermore, it is a much better

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN
Advice by an Expert on Agricultural
Matters-How to Plan the Garden
For the Chicken Raiser
Grow Rhubarb.
BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD BoLTE.

BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD BoLTE.
We are frequently asked to give sug-
gestions regarding the best way to
utilize the ordinary city back yard for
gardening purposes. Space does not
permit of our answering such aeon
prehensive question for each inquirer
and we take this opportunity to cover
the subject in detail.
Let us suppose that your back yard
is about 25 feet wide and so feet deep.
1t is fenced in and is pretty sunny
most of the day. There is a back
gate and a walk leading from the
house to the gate. How shall we lay
out our garden to get the greatest
amount of returns in fruit and at the
same time secure the most beautiful
effect.
In the first place, give fruit and
vegetables the right of way, using
grass and flowers to fill in the odd cor
ners. Most of our fruit bearing shrubs
and trees are as beautiful as any flow-
ering shrubs, many of the fruits them
selves are highly decorative, and our
anticipation of harvest time lends a
very tangible interest, which is lack
ing in merely decorative plants.
Plant a row of dwarf pear trees fat
along the south side of one wall and
train them in the espalier, vine like,
form on a trellis. Use Dwarf Seckle
and Bartlett pears. Along the wall
facing east plant dwarf peaches (Craw-
fords are flne) and train them in the
same way. Plant from four to six feet
apart and allow from four to six main
branches to grow.
Dwarf cherries or dwarf apples may
be planted against the other walls,
where they will take up very little
room, but care must be taken that
plants near the north side of any wall
are far enough away to get some sun
shine.
A very satisfactory plan for the
walk is to cover it with a latticed
pergola and train grapes over 1t. Della
ware grapes on the shadier side and
Concords on the sunny. Grapes make
a fine screen for any small buildings,
ash boxes, ETC., in the yard.
A strawberry bed 10 feet by 20 feet
close to he pears, and three rows OF
20 plants each Of blackberries, rasp
berries and currants will fill up the
half of the garden next to one lone
side and the balance can be devoted
to vegetables and flowers.
We prefer dwarf fruit trees to the
full sized ones because they come into
bearing very early, require much less
care, and produce fined fruit in very
good quantity. Dwarf pears are very
satisfactory. Prune and fertilize and
spray properly and your dwarf fruit
trees will bear heavily every year.
BY planning them against the sunny
side of a wall and training like vines
the fruit natures earlier, the trees
decorate the wall and they take VI
much less room than If planted in the
open. The amount of edible fruit pro
duced will be nearly as great. Try
some dwarf fruit trees yourself this
year.
