growers are frequently inclined to de

followed rather closely If the the cut

In the making of alfalfa hay it is
very important that most OF the cur

than by the sun The alfalfa should be
left in the swath until wiltcd but it
should be rakcd before dry enough for

1t Is best TO construct a small stand
about one foot above the floor and
place the water dish on this. The
stand can be constructed in the parti
ton so that the hens in two pens can
drink from one dish. II is. however.

near the south side of the building, as
the hens scratch the litter toward the
north much more than toward the
front OF the house A hen faces the
light usually when digging in the
straw for her feed and the result is
that the litter works back.
Care should be taken not to use
watering devices OF any kind which
have parts that cannot be readily
cleaned. A dirty drinking vessel is
frequently a source OF disease among
the fowls and should never be per-
mitted in any poultry house.

Tests for Soil SourneSs.

There is very general impression
that marsh lands are always acid, but
this is very far from being true says
Prof. A. X. Whitson, of the College
of Agriculture of the University OF
Wisconsin. MANY marsh soils OF the
southeastern art of the State are
highly charged with lime carbonate
in the soil or subsoil Therefore a
test for acidty should always be made
before an application of lime is
planned.
Like many other things, lime may
be wrongly applied as a fertilizer.
The CHIEF reason for neutralizing acid
itv in soils is so that legumes, such "a
clover and alfalfa. NAV be grown.
However. these plants, especially red
clover and alfalfa. will not do well on
marsh land. even though il is neu
tralized Moreover, growing legumeS
on marsh land is not necessary to add
nitrogen for that is already abundant
in such soils"

"SULPHURING" HEN HOUSE.
Job Should be Performed at Least
Once Every Month.

To burn sulphur i'll poultry house
first remove all combustible matter.
Then put an old iron kettle into a
dishpan and place on four bricks in
the middle OF the house. In the ket-
tie put some cobs which have been
soaked in a solution OF one part of
pine tar to four parts OF Kerosene,
sprinkle the sulphur over the cobs
and set on fire.
BE sure to have everything arranged
50 as 10 beat hasty retreat from the
room and close the door quickly as
the sulphur fumes are suffocating. Sui
phur burned in this manner will pene-
tratc every crevice as well as covering
the surface and aids wonderfully in
purifying the building and in destroy
ing poultry vermin.
One pint of turpentine may be add
ed to the half gallon of Kerosene as
well as the pine tar with beneficial
results. Once a month is none too
often to burn sulphur in every poultry
house
