Hard Crops.

What is the remedy for bard cropsT
Newark L. r. N
Hard crop or crop compaction should
be treated in the following way: Give
the fowl two or three teaspoonfuls Of
castor oil, followed by massaging the
crop until the contents soften. Then
hold the fowl by the feet and grad
ually work the contents of the crop
down through the mouth. When
treated before the crop has become
solid the material can be softened
sufficiently to allow her to pass it
down the throat in the regular way.
After the crop has been hard for
several days and the fowl has conse-
quently starved during this period II
then becomes a serious matter, the
fowl being in a weak condition ana
unable to stand a great deal of hand.
ling If at this time the material
within the crop cannot be softened
sufficiently to make removal through
the mouth easy a slight cut should
be made in the skin just above the
crop, the crop opened, the contents
thoroughly cleaned out and the lining
of the crop washed out with very
weak solution of boracic acid. After
the contents have been removed tne
opening can be sewed up with one OF
two stitches of silk thread. This VIII
hold the crop together and make IL
possible for the fowl to retain the
food. If taken in time this operation
is very simple and seldom results seri'
ously; but if the fowl has become too
weakened through lack of nourish-
ment the shock of the operation Will
cause her death.

rafter supports) are replaced by iron
water or gas pipe, held together and
in place by q number or ingenious
"fttings,' most of which can be put
ON with an ordinary monkey wrench.
This type is little or no more eX-
pensive than the atwood house, and
much more lasting. The semi-lron
frame construction employs specially
designed iron side-posts and cave and
side plates. 1t rs recommended for
well appearing, permanent house.
Set supports in Concrete.
Whatever the type of construction
selected, the main supports should all
be set in concrete. Otherwise there is
sure, sooner OF later, to be a rotting
of wood posts or settling of iron
ones, which allows sagging at some
point, with consequent leaking and
rotting. A few dollars spent for
cement, sand and grayel-which, with
water, are all you need to make up
concrete, will double or treble the life
of the greenhouse. If the entire sides
up to the side plate can be made of
concrete, the house will be, practically
everlasting, as it is an easy matter to
keep the roof tight if it is held firmly
and permanently in place. Where
sand and gravel are plentiful, concrete
will not cost much more than wood,
and should certainly be used.
The heating should be installed by
someone who has had experience with
greenhouse work, if possible, as the
conditions to be met are quite differ
ent from those which obtain with
house heating. Piping is used in
stead of radiators; the water should
be carried to the far end of the house
as hot as possible, the returns" be-
ing used to furnish most of the radia-
ton. For this purpose one two-inch
flow supplying three to five one
and-one- half-inch returns, is a COM
bination frequently used in medium
sized houses. In small houses, sim
pie arrangement is to carry coil of
pipe-three to six runs of inch or inch
and-a-half pipe-around the outside
wall or under the bench, bringing
them together in a suitable-sized re-
turn to the boiler.

y.ntlIatins a Poultry House.

4.,v should a fhenhouse be VENT
lated
IrTlngton. -
rbere are TWO principal ways Of
yeofilating a henhouse. First, py tlle
,,se az muslin cloth; second, by the
use OF ordinary glass windows -,
when ventilating with the CON
curtain il is we'll to have three sues
Of he house perfectly tight, an 81
7 the openings being on the Iou ~ ~
side. on which is placed the cioln
curtain. In a moderate climate IL
a house about fifteen rect squaLS'
this curtain should be three ieet hsn
and five or six feet in length,
should be raised above the NO.
Drefera bly, about three feet. SO that
yhen omen the boards beneath the
curtain viii pfotecs the lows from N

Of air which would naturally come
through the opening on WINDY gay.
The cloth curtain can be open u
bright. sunny days. during the winter
as well as summer. but snonld De
closed at night and on very OARS
damp or windy days.
When ventilating by glass windows
ii is well to have the windows piaceu
vertically-one sash above the other-
the upper sash hinged TO the loWeI
and arranged to swing inward from
the top, so that it may be opened
any desired width at the very TOP.
This method directs all the incoming
air to the top of the pen and dis
tributes that air generally through
the pen before It drops to the moor
and comes in contact with the fowls.
In extremely cold localities this latter
method is quite as good as the cioth-
curtain method, making it possible TO
close the house more tightly during
extremely cold nights. a combina-
ton of these two systems of yentila-
ton might we'll be put in practice.
This would mean that much smaller
sized cloth curtain could be used,
and when extra ventilation was
deemed advisable the windows might
be opened.
When extremely long pens or houses
are to be ventilated it is often better
to use the window rather than the
cloth curtain system in order to avoid
the rapid circulation of air through
out the pen which cloth curtains
allow.

Attending Agricultural college.

Would 1t be advisable for a young
man intending to be a farmer to at
tend any college other than an agri-
cultural one? C. B. L.
Newark.
For the right kind of a man any
college education would be of I'M
doubted benefit to a farmer, but why
such should attend any but an agri-
cultural one is cs difficult to see as
why man intending to be civil
engineer should take other than an
engineering course in the college.

Can daffodll and hyacinth bulbs be

Newark.
The earlier In the season the Dutch
bulbs are planted the more time they
will have to make a root growth, and,
in consequence, will give better re-
suits than when planted later, but
they can be planted with fairly good
results even after the ground has

Which would young man better
do, buy a farm with all stock and
tools or buy run down farm at a
much lower price? J. L.
Newark
The former by all means. The most
expensive farm to buy is one that is
run down. Much must be expended
before it can be made productive.
which expenditure should be added to
the purchase price. Usually it will
take all the produce from such a
farm to build it up, and in the
meantime the farmer has nothing on
which to live. For a poor man the
productive farm is always best. even
vt much higher price.

Why do turnips grow woody?
Verona. M. b. C.
Woody turnips are caused by lack
or moisture. While In the cellar the
moisture has evaporated leaving the
woody fibre. All that class of vege-
taples should be grown quickly and

tion.

Why will potatoes keep better where
IL Is coolY J. Mel.
Dunellen.
After the potato has completed its
growth its natural tendency is to put
out sprouts when conditions are
right. A cellar that is warm will. of
course, favor such sprouting. Again,
most disease germs grow more rapidly
where they have warmth. and in a
cool cellar they would be less likely
to rot than in a warm one OF course,
the cellar should be dry.
