Commissioner 6. w. Koiner of
the Department of Agriculture is
mailing out this week his Deem
Der Bulletin. Some splendid arti-
cles appear in this Bulletin. They
deal with subjects that are close
to the heart Of farming. They are
practical and discuss just the thing
the farmer wants to know and are
such as any farmer can adopt and
put into practice.
In this publication the farmers
are invited to furnish farm news
and report big crop yields. This
information will help 10000 other
farmers and make Virginia one
great Test Farm by telling the
other farmer how they succeeded.
There is a strong article on In
tensive Farming with the leading
statement that there is no money
or pleasure in any other system of
farming. 1t pays our farmers the
compliment of knowing how to farm
but states that they are up against
the impossible by undertaking to
cultivate too many acres. If this
valuable art Gle isread andput into
practice, Virginia will advance in
agriculture by leaps and bounds,
As this is hog killing month, the
farmers are given a good method
of Curing Bacon.
Manure losses on the farm are
|intelligently discussed and the loss
Is placed at 40 per cent on the av-
erage farm, a drain which no other
business could stand.
A short article on Deep Tillage
strikes right at the root of fertility
and preparation for farm crops.
The farmer will also be interest
ed in the alI-important and live
farm subject How to Maintain
Our Meadows" and pastures by
winter treatment of fertilizer ano
manure.
Protecting our birds is duty
every farmer, orchardist, and mark,
ct gardner owes to himself and his
neighbor as insects are on the In
crease.
In this Bulletin the young farmer
comes in for the important consid'
alton. 1t is suggested that it is
easy by the right kind of early
training to wed the boy to the
Ifarn and easier than keeping q
Igood farm hand.
| The article on Soil Improvement
contains the cream of soil building,
which is the foundation of all sue
cessful agriculture.
Every farmer in Virginia should
send his name to Commissioner
Koiner and get these Bulletins that
he issues each month free of cost to
the farmers.

PREPARE FOWLS FOR WINTER
Thoroughly Dipped In Solution OF
Warm Water and Grease Effectu-
ally Kills All vermIn.

Save all the strong bacon grease,
especially the grease from fried ba-
con. When your fowls sit around
picking themselves and looking
droopy and shabby, get large, deep
can or bucket; from it's shape a large
candy bucket is best; fill it nearly
full Of warm water; on this pour melt
ed grease until 1t forms a thick scum
over the water; catch your fowls. take
them one by one by their wings, and
with the head straight up, dip them
down, pretty hard, two or three times
into the water; let the head go COM
pletely under once; do this quickly to
avoid strangling the fowl; then turn
1t loose.
After waiting a few hours for the
water to drip from the feathers. drive
them into the shade, so the sun Will
not blister them. For q short time
they will be sorry looking lot Of
fowls.
This treatment causes the feathers
to fall apart, so the body of the fowl
Is cool, the water softens the skin;
the grease-laden feathers fall out cas-
lily, and the new ones push their way
through the skin and grow in masses
instead Of one or two in a place; the
time of melting Is shortened; the
fatty grease kills all the vermin on
the fowl, while grease-saturated feath-
ers are death traps to any vermin
that may get on them.
Keep the bucket filed with water
and pour more grease on the water
from time to time.
The fowls should be dipped early
In the morning, and made to roost
under shelter for several nights.
By dipping the fowls In the early
fall they become healthy and free
from pests, hence stand the winter
better and in the spring have little or
no vermin to annoy them and get on
and kill their little ones.
