Early Hatching Pays.
by H. L. KEMPSTER .

The poultry keeper who ex-
poets to get eggs next winter
must have his chickens hatch
early this spring. 1t requires
from five to seven months for a
three to five pound hen to mature
so that she will lay. The hen Of
the heavier breeds such az Rocks,
Reds. Wyandottes ETC., weighing
from five to eight pounds each
require from one to three months
longer. This is based on the as
sumption that the chicks are kept
growing we'll during the summer
months. Th Q Missouri farmer
loses large profits from winter
eggs because he does not give
his young stock sufficient time to
mature before winter sets in. This
prevents his flock being produc.
tive during the winter months.
Unless a pullet is laying in
December it is practically impos-
sible for her to lay mach until
February according to expert
ments at the Missouri Agricultur-
al Experiment Station. This
shows the necessity OF Matching
early. II the hatch Is completed
by May 10Th there remains but
seven months in which to mature
the pullets. II winter eggs are
expected, the hatch should be
completed before that time. Egg
records show that early laying
pullets November and Decem-
Oer-are the ones mat make tne
high egg yields and also lay eggs
st the time Of the year when the
price is the highest.
Early ha'ching is important.
not only from the standpoint Of
next years egg yield but also be-
cause the early Matched chick
comes from stronger eggs, and
the chicks get a start before the
extreme hot weather arrives. for
these two reasons the poultry
keeper should exert every energy
to get off the hatch as soon as
possible.

Blind Cultivation.


Just as soon as corn is planted,
begin to cultivate. Don't wait
for weeds and grass to appear,
or for a rain, but go on the field
with the peg tooth harrow before
the corn is up and stir the sur
face Of the ground. II the land
was properly prepared before
planting, the harrow should be
the only tool needed until the
corn is high enough to cultivate.
The custom OF rolling is not to 'bs
recommended. The seed b ed
should be prepared before the
corn is planted and not litter it ia
up. The roller too often only
presses the clods down in the
