Three Aids to Big Egg-Yie1d

The poultryman who wishes to have a
profitable, laying flock for the season
just ahead, says N. E. Chapman, of the
Extension Division at University Farm,
must do three things NOW.
First, he must make his poultry house
ready for the laying flock. This means
that he must make 1t perfectly weather
tight, repairing roof and windows if
need be; that he must clean it thorough
ly and either whitewash it or spray it
with kerosene and zenoleum or kreso;
that he must thoroughly renovate roosts
and nests; that he must refill the loft
with clean straw; provide new sand and
litter, hoppers for dry mash, for grit,
shells, and charcoal, table or shelf for
pans or crooks for water and milk, and
cheese box of road dust or hard coal
ashes.
He must determine the capacity of his
house in order that the laying flock may
not be crowded. Each laying hen needs
at least four square feet Of floor space.
It an enclosed scratching shed is inclu-
ded, this may be considered in making
calculations Of the amount Of floor
space. If considerable number of old
fowls are to be kept over, it will be
worth while to divide the poultry house
proportionally between old and young.
He must gather in all the young chic
kens from brooder houses, coops, boxes,
trees, and bushes, for thorough culling
of the flock. He must give pullets,
Matched in April and May. chance to
make good. They will lay in November
and December if properly housed and
fed. He must dispose of all old
stock, except birds desired as breedes;
also old roosters and cockerels, except
ing those needed as breeders or for fam
lily consumption. Colony houses may
be utilized for cockerels and surplus
stock until they can be profitably mar
keted.

There is Money In Sorting Potatoes
Their is money to be made by the sort
ing of potatoes. Consumers, large and
small, do not slike mixed lots. They
want them uniform in size and quality.
Consequently potatoes are usually sort.
adstore being placed OH the market
and the price which is paid the potato
grower is the price of sorted potatoes,
less the cost of sorting. Therefore, the
potato-grower who ships unsorted pota.
toes really has to pay the charge oil
sorting.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes. also
has to pay another charge, and that is
the freight on the culls which are later
taken out of his shipment.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes
therefore, is simply wasting money. II
pays to sort because it gives one the top
market prices and because it saves
freight on cul|s, and, it might be added
because the culls could be kept on the
farm and made use of in rations for live
stock.

Stump Puller is Tested at Duluth

EStutnp Puller is Tested at Duluth
i The one.man stump-puller of the rat
Echet type has been proved to be useful
Einstrument for the man of small means
on northern Minnesota cut-over land.
/ According to tests under the direction
Eot M. j. Thompson, superintendent of
the Northeast Experiment Station at
Duluth, good results have been secured
with such machines. With one machine
and two extra mon, "a green and AZ dry
stumps were pulled in one day of nine
hours. The total labor cost was $6.75.
The stumps were spruce, balsam, ash,
pine, and cedar, and averaged about ten
inches in diameter at the cutoff. Some
dynamite was used with stumps more
Than twelve inches in diameter, unless
they were decayed, and the roots we're
not all removed.
This type of machine, adds Mr..
Thompson, has several things in it's fa-
Vor. 1t meets the requirements OF the
man OF small capital who has no horse,
has means of buying only a limited
amount of explosives, yet who must
make clearing of some sort quickly.
1t Is useful on a wet ground where a
drum machine or explosive cannot be
used, and il works very we'll in dense
growth, where the diameters of trees are
from SIX to eight inches. In sandy soils
where stumps average less than twelve
inches in diameter the machine is very
economical of operation. In removing
larger stumps the use of some dynamite
is often necessary.
In spite of it's advan tages, Mr.. Thonlp-
son declares, such machine cannot al
together displace the use of explosives
and horse labor in the lake region where
there are clay soils. On such land grass
seed is thrown among the stumps, cat
tie are pastured for several years, and
then the stumps are blasted and re-
moved by horse power.
Settlers on Northern Minnesota out
over land would do we'll to communicate
with Mr.. Thompson if they find special
difficulties in clearing their land.

ANOTHER WEEK OF
DEVELOPMENT IN DIXIE

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 1S.-Many
Southern railroads are making heavy
| expenditures for improvements, in
dicative of their appreciation of great
business development in the near fu-
ture, which will make these enlarged
facilities necessary. In a general
summary of what the roads are doing
the Manufacturers Record refers in
detail to few of these notable i'm
provements, such as the big station
and terminal which the Transmits
sissippi Terminal Co., is building at
cost of about $5,O00,OOO for the
Texas & Pacific railway and the Mis-
souri, Pacific-Iron Mountain lines, at
New Orleans; the docking and wharf
accommodation which the Ocean
Steamship Co., a subsidiary of the
Central of Georgia railroad, is build
ing at Savannah at a cost OF 81 ,000,-
900; the $1,O00,00O bridge which the
Chesapeake & Ohio railway is erecting
over the Ohio river on its rorthwarG
extension from Kentucky to Columbus
and tho birr bridoo or5 o+l,or ;,,,,ra,-o
ments at Memphis, costing in the az
gregate about S5,000,000. Even these
few pieces of construction represent
an expenditure totaling about $4,000
600, this not considering the % miles
by the Chesapeake & Ohii railroad
from the river to point near Colum-
bus, which will cost $3,5O0,OO0 more.
Rut this aggregate is only small
portion of what the lines have re-
| Gently done, or are about to accom-
plish. For instance, there is the COM
plet1on OF the first unit Of the Finley
Yard of the Southern railway at Birm-
ingham, which cost $661,OOO, and
which will be enlarged as soon as the
| demands of traffic make it necessary !;
the construction of an S5-mile exten

Charleston to Savannah, just begun
and to cost several millions of dol
