SELECTION OF. BIG LAYERS
Many Difficulties In Choosing High.
Producing 6reed-No General
Agreement Yet as TO Type.

There are several difficulties that
surround the selection OF high-produc-
ing hens. The individuals are small.
Their production, compared with
COWS, for instance, is also small. The
standard yearly profit for each hen is
somewhere around one dollar. One
cannot spend a great deal Of time on
each individual hen. So that from a
general farmers standpoint, trap
nests, the one accurate way OF getting
at the big layers, are out Of the ques.
ton. The fact that the individuals
are so small also makes II difficult
for even those who have given the
matter considerable attention to select
by type. There has been no general
agreement as to what the egg type is.

TIME FOR PLANTING ALFALFA
Best Results Secured by Doing Work
In Wettest Season ofthe Year
Avoid Crust or Soil,

It Is very important when planting
the seed that no crust should form
above It, therefore Il is advisable
when using a press drill to plant only
when the top inch is dry. The drill
with chain drags should be used in
clay soil or in moist weather. Half
an inch to an inch is the best depth
10 plant Il IN sandy soil, but IN clay
loan even less Is better, The best
time to plant alfalfa is the wettest
season Of the year, The seed is small.
It cannot be put in very deep, and II
Il sprouts and then dries out before
the next rain comes II is gone. For
this reason we do not recommend fall
planting.
Some have been successful with late
planting and recommend II 10 their
neighbors, but taking It by and large
we find that only about 40 per cent
obtain a stand, while spring planting
gives over rs, when the ploWins and
other work has been properly done.

gives the following prescription for
hen-happiness and a full egg basket;
Allow each hen four square feet of
floor space.
Provide one square foot Of glass to
every 10 square feet Of floor space.
Locate the windows on the south
side and pl zee the tops not quite half
as high as tue house is wide.
ventilate by placing n square foot
Of muslin to every 10 square feet Of
floor space, OF by making a slat front
similar to the cupolas in barns. Be
sure the house is free from cracks
and that there are no openings for
drafts on the back, ends and roof.
Build a floor eight inches higher
than the surrounding ground. Fill in
four inches Of coarse stone, then two
inches Of clay and then two Of dirt.
This will make a dry floor.
Provide eight to ten inches Of roost.
ing space and one nest TO every six
hens.
Cover the floor with a foot or eight
cen inches Of straw. Feed the grain
in the straw so as to encourage exer-
else.

over whom much of the fuss has been
made. one side wanted Buchanan
out. while others who are his friends

one for daily exploitation in the local
