sible. A cornfield makes fine range
for young chickens, as they secure
many bugs and worms and have

time due to the cultivation of the
ground, and have abundant shade at
the saT time.
Toe punch or mark all the chick
ems before they are transferred to

Farmers frequently keep old hens on
their farms and kill the younger hens
and pullets, because they are unable
to distinguish between them after the
pullets have matured.
Brood Coops for Chicks.
Chickens Matched during the winter
should be brooded in q poultry house
or shed While the outside weather
conditions are unfavorable; after the
weather becomes settled they should
be reared in brood coops out of doors.
Brood coops should be made so that
they can be closed at night. to keep
out cats, rats and other animals, and
enough ventilation should be allowed
so that the hen and chicks will have
plenty of fresh air. Details and speci-
| flcations for building a good coop
are given in the departments Farm
ers Bulletin 574 Poultry house Con-
struction,' page 10, which is to be
| had on application.
The hen should be confined in the
coop until the chicks are weaned
while the chickens are allowed free
range after they are a few days old.
! Where hens are allowed free range
! and have to forage for feed for them
selves and chicks, they often take
/ them through wet grass, where the
| chicks may become chilled and die.

THE OLD QUESTION
OF TRANSFORMING
Experts Do Not Always Agree
as to the Proper Time to
Attend to Ii.
SPRING OR FALL BEST?

What is the best time to transplant
trees-spring or fall-and how should
it be done? r. C.
Newark.
Opinions are divided regarding the
season for transplanting trees, some
maintaining that spring is best.
others prefer autumn. The argu-
ments in both cases are good. But,
after all, If the work is we'll done,
and subsequent treatment Of the
trees is correct, it matters little what
season is chosen for setting.
Such hardy trees as the apple seem
to do better when set out in the fall,
as they thus get an earlier start in
Spring. On the other hand tender
trees, as the peach and apricot, are
very often injured by unusually I'M
favorable winters, or such as are ac-
companied by frequent and sudden
changes, especially if the weather
turns to severe cold after long rains.
On soils that are heavy a very wet
winter is very apt to kill more or less
of them unless the ground 10 we'll
drained. So the safest plan is to set
out peach trees i'll spring. If trees are
received from distance in fall the
roots and considerable portion OF
the stems should be buried in fine,
mellow earth where mice cannot
reach them, being careful to fill the
interstices among the roots. If placed
in this way on a dry location they
will keep safely during the most
severe winters.
To properly transplant a tree SO as
TO check the growth as little as pos
| sible 1t should be taken up as nearly
as possible with the entire mass Of
up trees are aware that they are cut
| ting off and leaving in the ground
nine-tenths of the network of finely
branching ibres. The roots usually
extend to a distance about equal to
the height of the tres.
| However. IL is not possible to avoid
mutilating the roots to some extent,
| but the less it is done the better will
/ 1t be for the thrift of the tree. Some
kinds of trees recover more quickly
from it's effects than others. For ex-
ample. the peach will reproduce new
shoots very quickly, and hence IL the
top is Topped In corresponding de-
gree to the mutilation of the roots
and the tree will speedily recover
from the effects of transpianting. pro
vided, of course, that the best culti-
walton is given at the same time.
The cherry, on the other hand, is
very slow in reproducing shoots, and
is easily injured and checked by
much trimming, and it is important
to secure as nearly as possible the
entire removal of the roots.

purpose of regulating the fruitful
ness. enabling light and air to reach
all parts of the tree and to do the
spraying effectively.
In trees that have been pruned
regularly and systematically, accord
ing to some definite ideal, the spray
ing can he done at a less expense
than in an unpruned orchard. It is
then possible to reach every bud and
branch quickly and effectively. This
saves time and material and cuts the
cost Of spraying. Trees with an
open head have better chance to
produce fruit of high quality than
those which are very compact. 1t
matters but little whether fruit
bearing branches are all attached to
a central leader as in the case of a
spruce tree. or whether they radiate
from the trunk like the ribs in an
inverted umbrella.
Keep fine Branches stockS.
The important thing is TO keep the
branches stoclzy so that they win not
break under heavy load or bend
down and cover branches under

latter illustration is severe, and is
necessary only in orchards that have
been neglected. 1t must be done in
those cases where pruning has been
omitted for several years, and is
more nearly in line with the work
now popularity called 'rejuvenating'
than it is with pruning proper. How
ever, rejuvenating is the work that
is most applicable throughout a very
large part of the orchards of the
United States. Trees in many or
chards have been neglected largely
from the standpoint of regulating
their shape. although they may be
quite effectively sprayed.
Old Trees Pruning.
Old trees are in greater need OF
pruning than are the young ones.
During the first few years of an or
chsrd it is necessary, of course, to
prune the trees, SO as TO develop a
framework that will give the tree a
suitable shape for holding up large
crops of fruit, But in late years the
pruning is more important for the

NATURAL BROOD|NG
BY USE Of HENS
Now Is Time for Poultry Raiser
to Be Planning His Spring
Campaign.
HOW TO HAVE SUCCESS

While il is still winter weather the
poultry raiser is considering the
raising of spring chickens for the
market, and among other important
problems are those of brooding.
Brooding with hens, according to the
United States department of agri-
cultures specialists, Is the simplest
and easiest way to raise a few
chickens and is the method which "
used almost exclusively on the aver
age farm. Artificial breeders are
necessary where late winter or very
early chickens are raised, where only
Leghorns or other non-setting breeds
of poultry are kept, or whore large
numbers of chickens are raised com
mercially.
Successful natural rearing Of
chickens requires convenient facili-
ties. regular attention. and often
tries ones patience. while artificial
methods require a larger Investment,
close attention and more care, but are
more. commonly used where large
numbers of chickens are raised. Many
poultry keepers who are able to
secure good egg yields and fair
matches make a failure of brooding
chickens, either in raising only .
small percentage of the chickens
Matched or in falling to rear strong,
vigorous birds which develop into
good breeding stock. Brooding is still
in the experimental stage, and no one
system has given perfect satisfaction.
Rearing Chickens with Hens.
Sitting hens should be confined TO
slightly darkened nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching, in which case the chickens
should be removed as soon as dry.

How many frames of honey afe re-

Bellevi1le. n. B.
That depends upon the size Of the
frames, the size of the colony and
where wintered. The regulation
amount of honey OF stores required by
a colony between the honey seasons Is
thirty pounds. A Langstroth frame
filled with honey will weigh from six
to eight pounds. depending on the
thickness, hence, four or five full
frames, or eight or ten hah-filled,
would be required. Probably from 80
to 100 per cent. more VIII be needed
for wintering out of doors than in a
good cellar. Small nucleus colonies
can be wintered indoors on three to
four Langstrotl1 combs half-f1iled with
honey.

When the concrete is placed direct

thus stopping the capillary attrac-
ton, there will be no dainpness COM

warmer than any Of wood, where
