WORKING NOTES ON
THE POULTRY YARD
Hens Must Have Variety Of
Proper Food for Profitable
Production of Eggs.

You would think the manufacturer
q fool who would feed cotton into his
mill and expect silk goods to be woven
from it, and yet the hen is simply a
machine.
Given the proper material she will
lay eggs, but you can't expect her to
do it with just corn, when corn is only
a fat-producing food.
Give your hens variety Of the prop
er food, and keep them comfortable
and busy and they will be like the hen
the little boy heard cackling-after
listening a moment to the fuss the hen
was making, he remarked: Huh, you
needn't be SO proud of laying that egg.
You couldn't help it."
Save the droppings from the poultry
houses. Fertilizer of equal value, if
bought in the market, will cost you $50
a ton.
For the easier gathering and han
ding of this fertilizer, platform Of
boards should be placed under the
roots. This platform should be be
scraped clean every day, or at least
twice a week.
After cleaning, air-slaked lime and
ashes should be sprinkled over the
boards. This makes the boards easier
to clean and is also good disinfect-
ant and vermin killer, besides adding
value to the fertilizer.

INCUBATOR HINTS
FOR A POULTRYMAN
Correct Heat for Incubation Is
1903 Degrees-ShouId Not
Vary-Turn the Eggs.

When the incubator has been prop
erly heated the drawer is filled with
the eggs and placed in the machine.
The lamp must be kept burning stead
lily and the temperature maintained at
about 103 degrees. This is the correct
heat for incubation, and 1t should not
be allowed to vary more than one de-
gree either way.
Night and morning the eggs must be
turned.
The lamp needs daily attention. The
wick should be found to require trim
ming and the oil container will need
more oil.
Each day the eggs should be aired,
ten or fifteen minutes being allowed,
as if more time Is given 1t takes too
long to get up the proper temperature
again.
When the chickens begin to hatch
they should be left alone. They will
need no food for twenty-four hours
after Matching.

for mulch. Before transplanting, al
ways cut back severely all the
branches, and the top of the main
stalk should be taken off
Train the trees by pinching off the
ends of the new growth occasionally
during the first season, if they do not
seem to be growing compact enough
to make a well-formed head.
After the tree begins to show new
growth apply the fertilizer, which
may be one of the commercial fer
tilizers for growth (not for fruiD, or
it may be ashes or cotton seed meal
or well-rotted manure.
The mulch may be used again after
the trees have been fertilized and
will serve to properly conserve the soil
moisture.
Peach orchards should be we'll culti-
waited during the growing season.
Borers are often troublesome, but If
care is taken to pull the dirt up around
the trees early in the season and al
low it to remain until quite late in
the fall, and level it off until the
next spring, there will be very little
damage done.
Each year during the winter the
trees should be pruned, cutting back
one-third of the new growth. When
they come into bearing, thin the fruit
while small to improve the quality
and help the tree.

GOOD MANURE FOR
VEGETABLE GARDEN
To Grow Early Truck the Ground
Must Be Made RiCh-TWo or
Three Crops Yearly.

To grow early, crisp vegetables the
ground must be deep, finely pulver-
lied and we'll filled with rich, rotted
manure. Fertilizers will not take the
place of manure. Manure must be
used to furnish humus as well as to
enrich the ground. Our leading mar
ket gardeners and truckers use large
quantities of manure and fertilizers,
says writer in Baltimore American.
The average dressing for an acre of
land, where double cropping is fol-
lowed, is to broadcast 20 one-horse
loads of manure and to drill in with
the seed 500 pounds Of standard
bone fertilizer for each acre under cul-
tivation. Market gardeners having
limited number of acres mark the
rows off 16 inches apart and use the
hand plow and cultiVator instead of
horse culture, and as fast as one crop
is sold off the land is again planted or
sown. By this method, two, three
and in some years four crops can be
grown from the same land.
Truckers grow only those crops
which can be worked by horse culture.
The manure and fertilizer are spread
in the drills or applied in the hill. For
spreading in the drill eight carloads
of rotted manure and 400 to 800
pounds of fertilizer is the average
quantity for each acre.
The main consideration just now
with the gardener is manure, which
will soon be needed for the hotbeds
and for the garden
The manure should be hauled and
put in large heaps close to where it
Is to be used. Spread one peck of
plaster over each load as it is piled;
the plaster will prevent the loss of
ammonia. Cover the horse manure
with COW manure or hog manure. If
there is much straw and litter in the
manure sprinkle each layer with wa
ter. If the weather is frosty use boil
ing water to start active fermentation.
Make large compact heaps; when the
heat increases so as to cause an issue
of steam from the heap it should be
forked over, all Jumps broken fine and
again made up in a compact heap.
For garden crops the manure must
be rotted and fine so it can be well
mixed through the ground before the
seeds are sown.

unique jewels and knowing the value
of the stone, Noorian accepted 1t at

PAN-AMERICAN COURT
URGED BY HAMMOND
NUtsd Mining Engineer and FinancisT Says
Supreme Judicial Body Would Help
South American Development

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cleveland. - The creation Of q
Pan-American supreme court to deal
specifically with, and to decide dis
putes as to foreign investments in
Latin American states was urged by
Mr.. John Hays Hammond as one OF
the important factors in the develop
ment of our foreign trade, the subject
of his address before over 500 busi-
ness men of Cleveland recently at
the noon day luncheon of the Cleve-
land Advertising club in the ball
room of the Hotel Statler. Such court,
said the distinguished mining engineer
and financier, would hold the conf
dence of American investors and obvi-
ate one of the serious objections that
exists at the present time to invest
ments in some of the Latin American
countries.
A most efficient exploitation of our
national industries, fostered by con-
structive legislation at home and pro-
NOTED by able diplomacy abroad; an
American merchant marine, and the
extension of American banking faCili-
ties to foreign countries were men
toned as being other important fac
tors in the development of our for
eign trade, while the curriculum Of
our public schools came under his
criticism because it failed almost
wholly to equip the graduates to earn
their livelihood in commercial and In
dustrial vocations.
Mr.. Hammond held that one of the
economic lessons of the present war
was the complete vindication of the
fiscal policy which has resulted in the
upbuiIding and expansion of our great
national industries.

Going to start a peach orchard this
spring? Consider where you will get
the trees, look over the ground, no.
tice draining necessities and study
up how you will prune and head them-
Also consider mulching and cultivat-
ing question.
In planting a peach orchard it is
we'll to set the trees 20 feet apart
each way. One acre set 20 feet will
require 1OS trees. The land should
be well drained so water will not
stand near the surface.
The soil should be we'll cultivated
before the trees are set, if possible,
and the places where they are to
stand thoroughly dug up for a space
of three feet.
A little bone meal-about one pint,
worked into the soil for each tree is
advisable.
Do not set the tree too deep, and be
careful to spread the roots and cir
culate the soil we'll among them. This
can be done by giving the tree lit
tie shake up and down.
Only good top soil should be placed
under or around the roots. Pouring
a pail of water into the half-filled hole
will serve to settle the soil about the
roots, beside giving the moisture
needed by the trees.
After it has settled away, fill up the
hole and cover with leaves or straw

CREASE on Carpets.

An excellent paste for extracting
grease from carpets is made by mixing
fuller's earth with a little ammonia.
The mixture should be quite thick
and should be applied with lavish
hand. Let it remain on the carpet
overnight, then brush it off with stiff
brush. Sometimes it is necessary to
put on a second supply. If the colors
of the carpet are delicate and there is
danger of discoloration, the ammonia
may be omitted. Should the tone of
the carpet seem to be dull after the
grease is out, the color may be fresh
ened by sweeping the carpet with
moist salt.

BY the time she was ready to join the

A POTATO ROMANCE

king of the Red River Valley, whose story
in the John A. Salzer Seed Co.'S Cstalogus

made Potato king, comes from a warm
heart, a level head, an active hand, and
above all, a successful Potato grower!
