THE SPRING CLEAN UP Houseeisanjng In the Poultry Yard.
 S E PIERCE.

With the coming of spring, when fowls spend more time out of doors, the poultryman should don his over- alls and jumper and set things briskly to rights. There are the houses to clean out, disinfect and whitewash; fences to look over and possibly mend. yards to rake up, spade and SOW to. rye or oats; brooders and breeding coops to paint and clean and colony houses to get in shape.
 The poultry house should be done thoroughly. Clean out all litter and sand on the floor, take out tho nook boxes (which should never be at tached to the walD. burn all nesting material and then whitewash with well slaked lime, to which has been added some good disinfectant or car- bolic acid in the proportion of one and one half fluid ounces to one gallon of whitewash, and the easiest way to apply this is to use a small com- pressed air Sprayer, which comes for the purpose. Go over the entire house with broom and whitewash it, mak- ing sure the whitewash gets into every crack and corner. After the house has dried out put in four or five inch es of sand or dry earth on the floor and over it six inches of litter.
 Resettins the Fences.
 The fence may need resetting, as the frost often heaves the posts out of plumb. If new posts are needed dip the butts in some creosote prep aration in order to preserve them, and do not waste time and money on cheap wire, for it soon rusts and is always hard to keep in shape. If heavy woven wire is used the corner the line posts and have crosspieces made of by inch material nailed and gateposts should be heavier than to the buttsy one six inches from the end and the other on the opposite side two feet from the butt end, to serve as anchors and -revent lossen-, ing. 4s
 Of course the double yard system is the best for yarded fowls-that is, each pen has the run of a front and back yard, and while they are using one asscrop of oats or rye is planted in the other As soon as the green blades are up three inches the fowls are turned into it and the other yard dug up and planted. However, if space is lacking the only alternative is to keep the yard free from filth by spading it every two weeks or so, and a fruit tree set in the yard will pro- vide shade, yield a good supply of luscious fruit aud add another bit of pleasant green to the surroundings. Plums seem to do particularly we'll in the poultry yard. In setting them out, however, provide protection to the roots by laying stones around the trees or the fowls will soon destroy them

 Described Switzerland Convention.
 The subject of Rev. W. g. Beard of willimantic, A Summers Saunter- ings. was a delightful description of his attendance upon the Worlds Sun day School convention at Zurich, Switzerland Mir. Beard prefaced his address with tender and touching rem inisences of his early association with Brooklyn and his uncle, the Rev. Ed win s. Beard, for many years pastor of the church.
 Rev. C. H. Ricketts.
 The final address was delivered by Rev. Charles H. Ricketts of Norwich and his subject Enemies to the Deep entng of the Spiritual Life. Mir. Rick ette said the church is often like river in need of dredging. The -ene- mics to it's spiritual life are, indiffer- ence or carelessness to the religious vows taken. subordination to the sor- did snirit absorption with worldly in terests yielding to ease and luxury and pleasure seeking. His closing words were pertinent question: .'yvheu will the world learn that the only deep and lasting joy comes from doing the will of God 7'
 Rev. c II. Barber moved vote of thanks to the entertaining church in which he noted ths active condition of the Brooklyn church, the recent irrprovenents made and the cordlai spirit of hospitality shown to the as- sociation.
 F Fhe large number of carriages and automobiles in waiting soon carried the visitors to their homes after hav- ing spent a happy and profitable day.

DEVELOPING THE HEIFER-lI.
PROF. j. A. MCLEAN. Dept Animal Husbandry, Mass. State
 Agri. College.

From the time heifers are six months old until they are two years old they should not be pampered, but sEould be grown under reasonable conditions. Nothing Is as good for housing purposes during the first and second wi..ler as the open shed which connects with a roomy yard. This per- nits of fresh air, exercise and dry place to sleep. Combine with it plenty of the right kind of feed and better heifers will result than can possibly be made in de-up stalls. During this period feed to obtain maximum devel- opment- The man who thinks he can make good cattle by feeding calves plenty of timothy hay. straw, corn stalks and corn has some things yet to learn Alfalfa or clover hay should form a large portion of the hay fed young cattle. Oats and Canadian field peas grown together are also excellent, fed either green or cured as hay. With it should be combined grain ration which may be made of bran and corn selfxed in equal parts, to which por- ao of ofimeal Is adde..
 When to Breed.
 -- Early breeding decreases the size at maturity. If a man is working for size in his stock (and I think within certain limits size is very essentiaD he will do well to breed his heifers that they may orop tnelr HTSt calves at the age of from thirty to ra.rty- SIX months During the six months previous to calving feed the heifer liberaIly. Considerable fat on her body at freshening will do no i'll. In- fiammation and cake in heifer's ud- de. seldom cause seriors trouble, so that free feeding will not be injurious.
 When the heifer has -straightened out after calying feed her for fullest milk production. Remember, food, that she is still growing and that she will require more liberal feeding than the mature COW giving the same amount of milk. She should not be allowed to dry off under ten months, and I think it well to milk her for twelve mbonths during this first lac

The tile should be deep etnough to provide an adequate root zone for crops. free from sur plus water. The usual method is to have the main drain follow natural water courses, making sweeping but not abrupt courves. The same is true of submains.
