young run together. The young chicks
when feathering are very sensitive and
nervous. In fact, fowls at any age
which have lost their coat Of feathers
and are growing another coat seem to
be very sensitive and do not wish to
associate with other fowls, especially
If there is an inclination to pick at
them. This results in the young chicks
staying at distance from the flock at
feeding time. Then. too. the mature
stock select the best range. This re-
suits in the pullets being improperly
nourished, and they do not develop
properly to make good winter layers.
One Of the most critical stages In
the life of any hen Is when she Is de-
veloping the egg organs. This period
is when the pullet is from four to eight
months Of age. according to the breed
and is the time when she should re-
ceive the best of care. but often re-
ceives the poorest By good care VIC
do not mean that she should be petted
and pampered, but l mean that she
should have plenty Of good. wholesome
feed and roomy. sanitary roosting quar-
sers with plenty Of fresh air and nc
vermin.

The Back Yard Egg Layer.

intensive poultry work is being prac-
ticed as never before In the history OF
poultry culture. writes the Kansas
Farmer In thousands Of yards people
are keeping enough hens to meet the
family needs. The back yards in many
instances are just large enough to ad-
NIT the small houses and permit OF
walks between them. but there Is
enough room for the work. In many
cases these plants are not only making
expenses and adding to the family
larder. but are also bringing in a reve-
nue.. The surplus eggs are sold. And
this Is as It should be. for there Is
enough waste from the table In most
homes to keep dozen or so chickens.
The best way Is not to overdo the mat,
ter: to not keep enough to cause q
nuisance Of the matter on q small
place. but just enough to use up the
waste material. 30 as to get enough
fresh eggs for the family and an coca

thing was tried out thoroughly for
good many years, 1t was found that
about thirty days after the corn was
planted the roots from corn rows three |
feet apart were growing together and
interlacing in the middle Of the row.
When the roots are reaching to the
middle of the row and are within four,
six and eight inches Of the surface OF
the ground you can't run shovel very
deeply without doing a whole lot OF
damage.
The bulk of all the corn roots are
within ten inches Of the surface of the
soil, and some of the biggest and most
important of them are within three
inches of the surface. These roots are
not much in evidence the first time the
corn is gone over with cultivator, but
their growth and development there
after are very rapid.
Leaving the shovels set at the same
depth for the second and third blowing
as for the first will result in serious
damage to the plant roots.
OF course. the real cultivation Of the
corn begins when the seed bed Is made.
II there is the right kind Of q seed
there will be a great deal less trouble
in cultivating the growing corn. When
you began blowing up the corn ground
you began cultivating the crop. and II
your soil was well pulverized. free from
rough places and plowed uniformly the
cultivating Job will not be so very diff
ficult Narrowing time or two before
and after the corn gets through the
ground will help a lot both in saving
moisture and in keeping down the
weeds.
The kind of cultivating tools to be
used will depend whole lot on the
kind Of soil you are farming and the
climate. Experience is the best guide
in that respect, and as rule the farm
er who has been growing corn In the
same section for good many years
will know pretty definitely what kind
of tools will give him the best results
There are some soils that need deeI
stirring. but where. possible this deeK
stirring and pulverizing ought to b.
done the first time the corn is worked
after 1t gets up.
Experience all tends to show tina
shallow cultivation is best. 1t was triet
out at the Illinois experiment station
and nearly eight bushels more corr
were gathered from the shallow cut
waited land per acre than from tn
ground where deep blowing was prat
: ticed through the season.

CORN FLOWING.

Cultivate So the Root System Will Be
Unframed.
There is a big difference between
blowing" and "cultivating" corn, says
contributor to the Farm Progress.
Sometimes it amounts to the difference
between good and poor crop.
1t is best to pillow the corn the first
time and cultivate it after that. It is
all right to really plow row of corn
the first time you go over it, for the
roots are small at that time and any
damage that is done to them will not
amount to much. After that first going
over shallower cultivation will be far
better. Shallow cultivation is now
practiced on the greater number Of the
big corn farms in the sections where
corn Is the big money crop.
OF course the soil and the climate
have a good deal to do with the depth
at which corn should be cultivated.
This makes it hard for any one to lay
down any sort Of rule for cultivation.
As a general rule, however, 1t may be
said that, while the first cultivation
may be fairly deep, all succeeding cul-
tivations should merely stir the top soil
just enough to keep the soil water from
evaporattng and to keep the weeds in
check.
There is a good, strong reason for
this. Up in North Dakota, where this

CULL|NC OUT THE
uNPROF|TABLE HENS

As the Matching season Is now oven
and the young stock need the room, 1t
is advisable to Gull out and sell all
hens which are not profitable, says
bulletin Of the Missouri station. The
question which at once presents itself
is, How can this be done" Many
methods Of selecting the best hens have
been tried here at this station, but the
best method for the inexperienced per
son is the shank color test with yellow
legged varieties. Seventy-fve tests
were made during May with birds
which had yellow shanks. Each flock
was divided into three parts, one hav-
ing bleached or white shanks, one hav-
ing very light yellow shanks, and one
having bright yellow shanks. 1t was
found by consulting the records that to
consider the ones with bleached shanks
as 100 per cent, those with light yellow
shanks were 70 per cent and the bright
yellow shanks At per cent.
The shank color test is the most re-
liable test for telling the hens that
have laid the most eggs in the past
few months. 1t does not tell the rea-
sons for the ones not laying nor does
it tell which will do the most laying
in the future, but simply tells those
that have done the laying in the past
which is a good indication Of the good
hens.
One reason for reducing the number
of old birds to minimum at this sea
son Is that in many flocks both old an(

The farmer is, as a rule, too reck-
less in the matter Of gathering and
shipping eggs. His fowls are on
free range, and every now and
then he discovers a nest. In this
nest, which may be hidden in some
secluded spot or in the corner of
the wagon shed, a hen gets the
habit Of laying. When a hen has
laid a nest of a dozen eggs most
Of them are spoiled and should not
