HEIGHT OF BOOSTS
FOR THE ASIATICS
Brahmas and Cochins Being
Quite Heavy Fowls Should
Not Be Compelled to Fly.

Roosts for Brahmas or Cochins
should not be more than a foot above
ground. Being very heavy birds, they
cannot easily fly, and it is better that
they should not be compelled to.
Some breeders do not allow them to
roOst at all, but instead heavily bed
the floor of the pen and allow the
fowls to squat wherever they feel in
clined.
But in allowing them to roost on
the floor, care must be taken that
there are no drafts. which often is the
case if the doors do not fit tightly.
Leaves or cut straw make good bed
ding for such fowls, and if each morn
ing the droppings are collected the
birds will do as we'll on the floor as on
the roosts.

Water REQUIRED for Crops.

It takes water to produce crop Of
weeds. II that be true, and 1t is, the
water which the weeds get is that
much taken away from the crop. A
garden crop between the rows in a
young orchard Is all right, provided
there be plenty of water for both the
garden and the orchard. An orchard
under dry conditions needs all Of
the available water. Conserve as
much Of it as possible by maintaining
a constant dust mulch between the
rows.

should be cut for hay when well in

is cured the same as clover or alfalfa
and makes very valuable hay. Prob.
ably one of the reasons why vetch is
not raised more extensively is because
of the expensiveness Of the seed.

Best Grass for prx Arsa.-

Bronze grass is probably the best OF
the cultivated grasses to grow in dry
areas. When established it will fur.
nfsh grazing early in the season, not
so early as winter rye, but earlier than
the native grasses. 1t will also furnish
grazing in the autumn proportionate
to the amount Of the precipitation
During the entire season, therefore, it
should furnish much more grazing thar
the native grasses.

denite is now $4,000 a ton, or nearly
four times the present price of tin.

ment of the unborn pigs than the win
ter rations that are fed by the average
swine breeder and feeder.
The SOW that has been allowed the
run of the pasture and the forage
crops during the summer is usually In
ideal condition for the ordeal of far
rowing.
The class of farm feeds available
during the fall is better adapted to
the needs of the SOW and pigs than
feeds that are available for spring feed
ing.
If winter dairying is being practiced
the skim milk may be utilized at
good profit in feeding the pigs and
they will be in excellent condition to
make the best possible use of the
pasture and forage crops the following
summer.
Fall pigs that are given an abun-
dance of palatable, nourishing food,

ing place can be made to come through
the winter in thrifty, growing condi-
ton and make profitable lightweights
for the summer market or excellent
feeders to place in the feed lot the
following fall.
The sows that are bred for two lit
tiers a year are sure to continue more
regular and certain breeders. We have
found it very difficult to get our sows
safe with pig when they we're bred for
| but one litter year.

City Engineer Johnson, whose de-
partment is held responsible in the
recent report of Mellis-Pirie & Co.,
for overpayments to paving contract

that the city will lose nothing as a

In measuring the inp yements the
.accountants had adopted one system
while the measurements of the city
engineers office had been carried out
under another. This condition re-
suited in a check Of the items on
several Of the contracts involved, in
