MULCHING SOIL TO

When water gets scarce throw away
your watering pot, or rather your
sprinkling pot At such a time 1t is
a menace to the life Of the towers
when in the hands of tho novice who
"scatters pearly drops upon the
flowers stalks, and gives the roots
none.
Remember that when water is
scarce the spade or hoe can do won

gedc person who XII ows how to use
these tools.
Deeply dug soil retains moisture
far longer than that stirred to a
shallow depth.
Keep the surface soil loose and
light, giving the plants a surface or
dust mulch with a sharp hoe.
Mulches OF all kinds are beneficial
fallen leaves. weeds pulled from
the garden, lawn clippings.
Potted plants should be thoroughly
watered so that the 1eart Of the roots
receives its share : moisture. Bed.

Many Requests for Bulletins.

Thousands of boys and girls, young
men and women in Wisconsin who for
one reason or another are deprived of
the advantages of course at the col
lege of agriculture of the University
OF Wisconsin, are keeping fully In
formed upon the latest developments
and discoveries in the agricultural
field.
During a single day requests were
received by the agricultural extension
service for 1923 bulletins of which
number 642 were circulars of informa-
ton, 102 United States government
bulletins and $40 Wisconsin bulletins.
Bulletins most popular with the young
people of the state are those which
have to do with the use OF the Bah
cock text, corn judging and the cur
ing and testing of seed corn.

Law viii Be in Operation October 1.
The Wisconsin law regulating the
sale of securities, popularity known as
the blue sky law" becomes effective
October l. The railroad commission of
Wisconsin is the body charged with
the administration of the law, and is
now preparing blanks to be used in
complying with it,
The law is in two more or less dis
| tinct parts, one affecting dealers in
corporate securities and the other af-
fecting companies which sell their
own securities. In the case of dealers,
license from the railroad commits
sion is required, while in the case of
companies the requirement is that
certain information regarding the af-
fairs of the company be submitted to
the commission, and any company
which cannot satisfy the commission
that it is safe and sound and that its
business is lawful and conducted in a
lawful manner is to be excluded from
doing business In the state.
Applicants for dealers licenses will
| be required to sho% what securities
they propose to deal in and to file
! lists of the agents who are to repre-
sent them in Wisconsin. These lists
of securities and Of agents are to be
kept UP to dare, and in addition per.
iodical reports will undoubtedly be
required of dealers showing what Sc.
eurities they have sold in Wisconsin.
| 1t will not be necessary for agents act.
ing only on behalf of licensed dealers
to obtain licenses themselves, since
the law as recently interpreted by the
attorney general contempiaess the Ii.
censing only OF the principal and not
of the agent.
IL is not the intent of the law that
the private affairs Of the dealer should
be inquired into except as such in
quiry may be necessary In isolated
cases where the integrity of the deal
er is doubtful, nor will it be neces-
sary in the case of securities of good
standing for the commission to make
an extended investigation before per.
uniting the dealer to dispose of them
in the state.
In the case Of companies selling
their own securities, however, the law
intends a much more searching inves-
tigtaion, and gives the commission
board powers of examination. 1t will
be necessary to obtain from such com
panies statements OF their assets and
liabilities with sufficient description
of them so that fictitious values can
be detected. 1t will also be neces-
sary in case of companies already in
operation to find out the financial re-
suits of their operations in the past.
Their plan OF selling securities. to-
| gether with commissions to be paid,
prices to be obtained for the securi.
ties. etc, as well as their. general plan
of doing business. will be the subject

tBy KATHERINE A. GRIMES)
THE proof OF the pudding is in the
eating" and the proof of success In
the poultry business is In the profit
made at selling time.
You must begin to plan as to when
and how you are going to market
your fowls about as soon as the eggs
are set--or even before. so as to know
what your ain is to be-whether ma
ture dressed poultry. birds for breed
ing, or frying chickens. OF course it
all depends upon what the demand in
your vicinity is for. If you live where
there will be sale for good birds for
breeding, it may not pay you to sell
many fowls to the market. II you find
a good call for broilers or small chicks
for frying-and these usually bring
good prices-you might do your best
work In raising some kind of early
maturing fowls that will make a
pound and a half at six weeks or two
months old.
If you intend to sell dressed poultry.
it is usually best to choose a breed
having yellow legs and light-colored
feathers, as they look nicer than the
black-legged, black-colored varieties.
The meat is not bit better, but you
know it is looks that count when a
buyer comes into a market.
AS soon as the pullets can be told
from the ROSTERS, they should be sep
arated, and unless you expect to sell
them for breeding. the surplus males
should be fattened and disposed Of as
early as possible.
If you want to hurry them onto the
market, one of the very best plans is
that known as the crate-feeding meth
cd. Take some Stats about an inch
and a half wide--lath will do very
nicely--and make q coop with a fiat
top and a Stat bottom, about Is
inches wide, the same in height, and
long enough to accommodate the num-
Der of fowls you have to fatten. AL
low about six inches in length to each
bird. Divide your crate into sections
that will hold four or five fowls each.
Set it up on trestle-a couple of saw
horses make good supports-so the
droppings will fall through the slat
bottom and not soil the coop.
Now make a V-shaped trough the
same length as your coop. This is
used for both feed ard water. The
feed should consist of Underground
oats mixed to a stiff batter with skim
milk or buttermilk, preferably the lat
ter Feed this mixture three times a
day, but do not let it stand in the
troughs. Give them ample time, say
half an hour, to eat all they want. and
