STRIDES IN EGG PRODUCTION
Delaware Station PouItrymen Con- fronted With Hen Which Laid
 314 Eggs in 365 Days.

Not very many years ago the 20o egg hen made her appearance She was not greeted with open arms by poultrymen, but was rather considered to be a freak-an exceptional being that would not perpetuate her kind. Her cool reception, however, was no more than over before the 200-egg hen became a common occurrence. in the four Missouri egg-laying con tests 249 hens Cor 10qo) laid 200 eggs or over. The individual record last year went to Buff Wyandotte with 247; in the Connecticut contest, 9 Rhode Island Red laid 257 eggs in the same period.
 But with the close of the Philadel- phia-North American contest at the Delaware station poultrymen are con- fronted with hen which laid 314 eggs in 365 days; Oregon hens have also produced over 300 eggs in year. How is the 300-egg hen being re-

on the remaining 70 feet. The model to be worked to is two 40-foot road ways, two ten-foot sidewalks and three rows of shade trees-a most proper plan for hot climate.
 All travel of course takes the right hand road. The grade should allow crossing from one road to the other.
 On a single road with 50-foot right of way, two ten-foot sidewalks and 30 feet for vehicles, when autos are standing at each curb there is not room for safe passing of vehicles go- ing in opposite directions and this difficulty and danger increases with the traffic.
 A single-track road should be 60 feet wide.
 The middle line of-new roads is gen. erally on a section line or other line between two owners. If the fashion is set fer a 100-foot right of way owners will give the 50 feet.
 If county commissioners will insist on the 100 feet and make it state- wide rule supported by put c opinion, owners will fall into line Id give the land.
 The double-road plan allows speed with safety and the speed of motor cars will in the future be increased on long runs.
 The point is that it is the duty of the pioneer road builders of today to provide for the travel of the future.

 When the rose plants are received from the nurserymen they should be unpacked as soon as they come to hand Thereupon the tops and roots should be we'll sprinkled with water, after which they should be covered with bagging and placed in a shaded spot until ready to plant.
 If the ground is not prepared when the plants arrive it is advisable to put them in a shallow trench and cover the roots with loose soil until the ground can be put into 8 proper condition.
 The enrichment of the soil, how ever, should not only be made at the 1 time of the preparation of the bed be- fore planting, but in the spring of every year, for with such attention a bountiful supply of flowers may be ex- pected every season.
 When planting, spread the roots out l carefully and do not cross them or crowd them. They should be placed we'll below the surface of the soil and arranged, as far as possible, in l their natural position.
 Roses may be grown to perfection | in ordinary garden soil, provided they are planted in sunny, sheltered loca- | tion, away from the roots of large trees, for these will absorb all the life sustaining nutrition of the soil, where as young trees and dwarf shrubbery do no harm. If the soil is naturally poor, however, it is advisable to lay substantial foundation for future good results.
 The question naturally presents it. plant roses, but the broad extent of our country precludes definite reply Generally speaking, however, mid spring should receive the preference, and it is better to be little early than too late; in a mild season, in- deed, planting may even be done in March
 Dormant roses, in fact, should be planted as soon as the frost is out of the ground and the soil can be worked But it is advisable not to set out tea roses until the weather is thoroughly settled and they should, of course i HeRlll1y HeRll1yy be planted in the spring. Unless a cC1ea,, wet or.-late spring 1 prevails, pruning may be done ln March or April Old and decayed

WORK IN THE ROSE GARDEN
By HUGO ERIcHSEN.

Nothing can be said in praise of the rose that has not been said before. Universally recognized as the most beautiful flower, it is the one child of Flora around which a wealth of sen timent, history and poetry clusters.
 The beauty of the rose is so widely appreciated that the popularity it now enjoys and the demand for hardy gar den roses are annually increasing. No garden is complete without roses, and every family ought to grow them in abundance, for never have roses been so cheap and beautiful as now.
 Moreover, the cultivation of the flower is so simple that no excuse can be offered for it's neglect
 The first requisite for success in rose growing is the selection of good, healthy plants. Weak, sickly roses are dear at any price. Many of these plants lack vigor because they are 5tunted by remaining too long in the cutting bed or in small pots before they are set out.
 < In order to obtain the best results, therefore, it is advisable to restrict ones patronage to frst-class nursery men only, firms that are prepared to furnish strong, well-rooted plants, such as will make a showing the first sea- son and develop into vigorous speci- mems.
 In selecting roses for the garden, it Is we'll to know that those plants are grown in two ways, that is to say, on their own roots or budded low on the Manetti, a brier rose that has largely superseded the dog-rose and other stocks in this country, as it is one of the most desirable for our country and climate.
 Experts are divided on the question as to which should receive the prefer ence, and the beginner is liable to be in a quandary, because growers are apt to argue for their own method of propagation.
 We find many varieties of roses grown on this stock (Manetti) adapt themselves to a greater range of eli mate and soil, bloom more profusely, endure better the heat of the summer and make far stronger plants than if grown from their own roots
 Many object to budded roses on ac.
 b the ssnackers they sometimes
 s5ut; but if proper attention IS
 the planting this wsll rarely be
 lnoyance.
 fded roses should be planted suf
 sntly deep, SC that the junction o1 ,,ne bud with the stock is from two to three inches below the surface of the

Weeds in the Garden.

The farm garden is often the weed fest spot on the farm. If the garden were rotated with a leguminous green manure crop. such as soy beans, sweet clover, vetch or field peas, it would largely solve the weed problem and add immensely to the yields of the garden truck. The farm garden should also be laid out in long rows far enough apart to permit of horse oulti vation,

ceived? Almost in the same way as was the 200-egg hen. Wonderful strides have been made and will be made to get high producers But the real problem before poultrymen is to perpetuate the egg laying qualities which have been developed. The 300- egg hen may soon be classed in the same way that the 200-egg hen was classed a few years ago.
 Poultrymen may well be proud of what they have accomplished, but they cannot rest satisfied until they perpetps.e the desired qualities. And that takes years of experience and careful selection.-Orange Judd Farm CT

In popularity, cow-testing associa-
tons have grown rapidly in late years,
increasing about So per cent in the
United States in 1914. The prime pur-
pose OF an association is to put dairy
ing on better basis and to eliminate
unproductive cows. The average an
nuA production of the COWS OF the
United States is approximately 1000
pounds of milk, containing 100 pounds
OF butterfat, though there are many
herds with records of production av-
eraging more than 10000 pounds and
800 pounds of fat. 1t Is the low aver
age production which increases the
dairyman's troubles. Chief among the
causes of small milk flow are the fol-
lowing: The cows are not properly
fed; many of them are not capable
OF making a large production; the
farmer has no records and has little
idea OF which cows are making him a
profit and which are failing to pay for
the feeds they consume. Farmers are
often prone to believe the COWS pay in
some mysterious way, mainly through
the manure they produce, and thus
bring ultimate success.
The first cow-testing association in
this country was organized at FIRE.
mont, Mich. in 1905. These associa-
tons are now to be found in 80 states
and in 1914 totaled 1865; of these New
York had 20. Vermont %, and Wis
consin "a, other states following with
much smaller numbers Cooperative
cow-testing did not originate in this
country; indeed, the movement is still
In its infancy when compared with the
number of associations In Europe,
where there are between $500 and
5000
There is nothing especially difficult
In the work OF keeping records of
cows, but it is usually more advan-
tageous to the farmer to hire the test
Ing done than to devote so much time
to the work himself The tester hired
by the association usually has special
training in an agricultural college, his.
experience running all the way from
short winter course to full four
years work. A knowledge of feeding,
breeding, and her management is es-
sential.
The expense of hiring a man to act
as tester varies, but it not far from
$3.50 year, which is divided among
the members in proportion to the num-
Der of cows they own. The member
ship is necessarily limited to the own
ers of about twenty-six herds of ten
or more cows each, or one herd for
each working day in the month. The
