are fed in cold, stormy weather. If
winter chickens are being raised, it

are fed in cold, stormy weather. If
winter chickens are being raised, it
is advisable TO heat the brooder
house to temperature of 60 degrees
to 70 degrees, regardless of the tenn
perature of the hover, which often
requires placing brooder pipes
around the outside walls of the
brooder house.. The need of this heat
depends entirely upon the brooding
system and the weather conditions;
but it is absolutely necessary that
the heat be kept at the desired tenn
perature under the hover. Breeders
and hovers should have from one
half to two inches of sand, dry dirt,
cut clover, or chaff spread over the
floor and in the brooder-house pen.
The hovers should be cleaned fire.
quently, as cleanliness is very essen
tial in raising chickens successfully.
When chickens are first put into
the brooder they should be confined
under or around the hover by placing
a board or wire frame few inches
outside (this would not apply to the
small outdoor colony brooders). The
fence or guard should be moved
gradually farther away from the
hover and discarded entirely when
the chickens are 3 or days old or
when they have learned to return to
the source of heat. Young chickens
should be closely watched to see that
they do not huddle together or get
chilled. They should be allowed to
run on the ground whenever the
weather is favorable, as they do
much better than when kept contin-
uously on cement or board floors.
Weak chickens should usually be
killed as soon as noticed, as they
rarely make good stock, while they
may become carriers of disease.
Breeders should be disinfected at
least once a year, and more fire.

them have had any disease,

the value of the Michigan pine bar
rens" for agriculture
If these lands can be made to pro-
duce profitable crops we should know
of it; if they cannot, the state should
publish that fact abroad, and refuse
to sell more of these lands, thereby
becoming a party to fraud when
these lands are again sold by the
land sharks at greatly increased val
ues. If these lands are worth but a
dollar an acre it is criminal to sell
them for $25. If they are worth $25
the state is being defrauded-or at
least making a loss-when it sells
them for 81, and by vicious advertis-
ing they are Immediately sold, with
out a particle of improvement, to
the would-be farmer at $25.
1t is not possible for all farmers
to conduct experiments with differ
ent crops, and if it were, it would
require at least one years delay to
find out whether a new crop would
do well on his farm or not; but if
he could write to the Vacation
Farm" and get full information as
to what this crop did on similar soil,
under variety of treatments, he
could plant Immediately, or he would
not plant at all, and in either case
he would be the gamer.
In connection with such a farm
school the Sand Farmer would ex-
pect to check this work by his nu-
merous little friends in different
parts of the state, who are going to
have quarter-acre farms, and raise
samples of crops which would be
checks on the larger experiment at
the school.
The question is--How many farm
ers now on the sand land would like
to cooperate in such a work, and
become members of such a school,
which would give them the privilege
of asking questions regarding their
work, and Of visiting the "Sand
Farm" while the crops were grow
ing, to see the difference between
their own crops, grown on similar
soil, and finding out what made the
difference?
If there is any real demand for
such a school the Sand Farmer
would be glad to hear from his
readers.

1he sand Farmer is receiving in
quiries for Sudan grass seed, and
while he wishes that he had enough
for all the farmers in the state, he
is obliged to decline the opportuni-
ties for selling it until all Of his
friends who are going to college
have been supplied, and if there are
any more boys or girls who wish to
DO something to earn their way
through college he would be glad to
have them write him as soon as pos
5ible, that after they have been sup
piled he may distribute the remain
der of this seed among the big folks
who are anxious to try it.
The Sand Farmer is receiving let
ters from men and women who are
trying to work out the sand farm
problems. They wish to know about
yetch and rye, soy beans and cow
peas for cover crops, and for many
crops, how they should till these
lands, and many other questions
which every one on a sand farm has
TO ask, but sometimes fails to an
Swer.
There are men in the cities who
want to get out onto a farm, where
they can breathe fresh air, and be in
the sunshine, and start some kind Of
a business which will take care Of
them when they are no longer want
I'd in the shops.
There are victims Of the land
sharks, who have purchased land on
contract, or invested all Of their saw
ings in land, and have not enough
capital to develope it.
There are large land owners, rail
roads, and other corporations asking
what they can do with their sand
lands, and the Sand Farmer has
been asked if he would consider the
establishment Of "Vacation Farm"
school, something like the one "Jim
Smith" attended, which enabled him
TO develOpe his part of the "pine bar
cens."
The value Of such school would

down the first acre and set another

gardens, worked for neighbor in

good season, but mad the misfortune

patch of cane fruit, another of
Strawberries, secured my first fall
bearing strawberry plants, enlarged
my gardens making a speciality of
early sweet corn and early tomatoes.
As we havea grove of about 200
small trees forming a semi-circle
around the buildings on the west,
with hill on the opposite side, it
makes quite coy place, hence we
named our place Cosy Nook Farm.

Skinner system of irrigation, my ex-
perience along this line l will en-

blowing down the old berry bed, also
made speciality of early sweet corn
and tomatoes.

chased ten acres adjoining the orig
inal ten, this has no buildings but a
small orchard in bearing.

or the body's circumference behind
the forelegs, is large, and horses
slack in that region are usually
weak in constitution. The body is
broad, deep, and comparatively
short; the back is short and broad,
and the ribs we'll sprung, giving
round appearance to the body. The
horse with shallow body is usually
a poor feeder. The loin is bro INC
well muscled; the Group is Stly
level, long, broad and well muscled.
A short, decidedly sloping Group is
not so well muscled as the straighter

power, the front legs acting largely
as weight carriers.

How Started Growing Strawberries

My object in writing this article is
to show that it is not absolutely nee
essary to have either money or ex-
perience to make good in Michigan
in strawberry growing, even under
unfavorable conditions.
l was brought up on a farm, but
never had any experience in grow
ing small fruit and vegetables, had
worked for others the most of the
time up to the spring of 1908, when
/ purchased ten acres in the outskirts
of Boyne City, paying part down,
the balance in yearly payments.
| set out about one acre Of straw
berries of several varieties the same
spring and was obliged to borrow
money to pay the express charges
on same. The land these were set
on had been cleared 30 or 50 years,
is sand with gravelly sub-soil. ! did
not know at the time but have been
told since that previous to my pur-
chase of this place it had been plant
ed to corn seven years in succession
without anything being put back on
the ground. Now as / had neither
money nor experience and soil de-
plete of all humus and fertility you
can readily see | was handicapped in
more ways than one.
The first summer / worked on the
streets of Boyne City at $1.75 per
day, worked at home mornings and
nights, not Sunday as is quite often
the case, for | don't believe in this
practice. During the winter | worked
at odd jobs and the second spring
planted quite a large garden, also
set another small strawberry patch.
All this ground / had treated to a
heavy application of stable manure
and commercial fertilizer. But as
yet | was not able to purchase a
horse so hired my team work done.
My garden and berries l cultivated
by hand.
The first spring / also purchased
ten hens and a rooster. / consider
poultry the beginners most favored
friend, for the investment is small
in comparison to the returns.
The acre of strawberries produced
4S0 quarts. | have since then picked
that many at a single picking from
one acre.
peddled all my vegetables from
house TO house with wheelbarrow.
From the beginning, quality has
been my hobby and l consider this a
very important factor to success.
worked at odd jobs again this win
ter and picked up all the stable ma
nure | could find for sale.
