charge into single main than to let
each lateral discharge into ditch.
Vertical drains are holes dug
through a layer Of tight soil 80 that
the water may move downward past
this impervious layer. Those reach
ing down to coarse soil not filled
with water are very efficient. The
question to be determined is whether
or not they will work fast enough to
pay for themselves. Conditions found
in lower soil layers are 50 variable that
each piece OF land must answer this
question for itself. Sometimes the
water moves upward in these holes In
stead of downward.
A farmer contemplating drainage
on an area known to be considerably
higher than adjacent lakes or rivers
can make no mistake by testing the
efficiency Of vertical drains dug ten or
twenty feet deep and curbed to within
a foot Of the surface, of the ground
with six.inch tile. The upper end Of
this column may be protected either
by patented drainhead or by cover
ing the top with fiat stone or brick
and surrounding the tile to depth
of six feet with coarse gravel placed
In an excavation about three feet in
diameter. It might be well to try
both of these devices. Horizontal
drains have an advantage in intercept
ing seepage water on springy areas,
but in pot-holes and on large fiat
areas the matter of vertical drainage
should be especially considered.
The limited capacity Of vertical
drains renders them more efficient for
underdrainage than for surface drain
age. Their success is dependent gen.
orally upon the accompaniment of sur.
face drains for relief Of flood flow.
There are several kinds of land that
need drainage: On tight clay soils

Squads are pretty well covered with
feathers when they are three weeks
old.
Before engaging in the pigeon bust.
ness go and spend a week or two with
some successful pigeon breeder. One
can learn more in this way than from
three months Of reading.
Nobody except a simpleton will buy
pigeons whose mating is not absolute
ly guaranteed. Even then one should
not buy except from dealer with
high reputation, because even IL the
birds are guaranteed and they prove
to be minated much time will be lost
before they can be replaced.
The aim of every pigeon dealer Is to
produce the largest amount Of meat
in his bird. For this reason scrub
stock should never be used.
No artificial heat Is required in
pigeon houses. but they must be abb
solutely tight as drafts are fatal.
Pigeons begin to lay two weeks aft
er mating. They lay two eggs which
hatch in about eighteen days.
The old birds stop feeding the young
squads when the next pair hatch.
Each pair Of birds should be provid-
ed with two nests.
Pigeons cannot thrive unless they
have a place in which to fly. Con-
fined in houses they will quickly con.
tract consumption and die. Even in
the coolest weather they should be
allowed to fly outdoors when they
please.
The breeding season Is from March
To Heptember, hut extra good breed
ers will produce young ten months in
the year. Z,

(By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.)

(By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN)
A young pigeon, unlike a young
nicken, cannot feed itself, but must
be fed by the old bird.
Very often squads do not leave the
nest until they are a month old and
ready for the market.
Sometimes the old birds will favor
one of their offspring and feed 1t con-
tinually, allowing the others to go
hungry much Of the time. 1t Is not
unusual to see one large, plump bird
and q half.starved, puny one in the
same nest, both having been hatched
at the same time.
The male bird sits OIL the nest at
night and the female in the daytime.
Some dealers say that this Is the only
true test of mating.
Vermin Is a constant menace to
pigeons and must be always fought.
Frequent whitewashing, absolute
cleanliness, and tobacco-stems placed
in the nests will generally keep the
birds reasonably clean.
Pigeons must have clean water for
bathing, once every day: 1t should
be given them early in the morning.
The birds cannot live without 1t.
The bathing dishes should be emp
tied Immediately after the birds have
used It, as 1t quickly becomes foul and
should not be allowed to stand.
The pigeon that goes about with
dropping wings is sick bird.
At the first sign Of sickness, the
bird should be taken out Of the pens
and placed by itself. Unless It Is very
valuable It should ha killed at the
end OF three days II It is not entirely
well.

Fertility.

A great deal of help has been given
to the soil conservation movement by
dairy farming. While there are ex-
ceptions of course. in general, dairy
farmers are noted for the care they
take in the management of their soils.
They are much more likely to use
good crop rotations than the general
farmers, and the manure usually is
returned to the soil promptly, with
but little waste. An increase in the
dairy farming makes the soil fertility
outlook much brighter.

BALANCED FEEDING FOR HENS
No One Grain Combines the Necessary
Proportions Of Ingredients
to Produce Eggs.
By W. r. GILBERT.)


Balanced feeding is an attempt to
provide for all the wants of fowls
bodies so as to enable them to yield
the best profits to their owners at a
minimum cost.
No one grain, meal or vegetable by
itself combines the necessary proper
tions of ingredients to produce eggs
in profitable quantities.
Scientific experiments have proved
that to keep alive an ordinary hen
weighing six pounds, two ounces Of
dry food per day is required, but these
two ounces are not enough to put on
flesh or to make eggs.
They are only enough to keep up
the wear and tear of existence. More
food has to be supplied for egg making
and If this food is richly charged with
the component parts Of an egg the
greater and easier will be the produc.
tion.
The only chemical properties Of food
that we need trouble about are the
flesh and muscle-making principles
known as albumenoids and the heat
and fat-making principles known as
carbohydrates.
The ration that both science and ex
periments have decreed to be the best
is AZ to parts Of fat or Matchmaking
foods to one part Of flesh-making food
and the total amount Of food require
ment for the keeping of hen in lay
ing condition is from % to "a ounces
per week, according to her size.

has ever visited that country.

Don't try to make your cows eat
long corn stalks. They will surely

and they will eat them all up clean.
Lett them lie in a box or even in the

help to moisten them up. A bit of

the work Of the cook. The flesh of

with but little slope, dead burrows
running with the slope are valuable as
surface drains. The expense Of hay-
ing well-chosen dead burrows four
rods apart and cleaning them after
seeding, is refunded many times by
the benefit to single crop. The ratio
between the cost and benefits Of these
dead burrows makes them the most
profitable Of drains.
Areas now under cultivation with
fair surface drainage, but with an un-
derdrainage so poor that they are
cold, sour and late, are next on tho
list. They are twice as hard to cultivate
and only half as dependable as those
that are we'll drained. Underdrains

The drainage Of pot-holes has all
the merits of that Of wet swales ex-
