WINTER R0UGHAGE FOR HENS
Nothing Better Than Lawn Clippings,
Second Crop Glover, and Grass
When Properly Cured.

Every poultryman ought to provide
supply of green feed for the use of
the hens In winter. Green vegetables
are excellent In their place, but nothing
is better than lawn clippings, second
crop clover and grass.
Lawn clippings should be raked up
and spread on the barn floor or in some
other shady place to dry, writes
Charles II. Chesley in Farm and Home.
Two days of drying in the shade prop
erly cures the grass. 1t should then
be put in bags and hung away where
1t can be kept for winter use.
Second-crop clover, Of any variety,
Is excellent and 1t should be cured
and treated in the same manner as the
lawn clippings. Cut clover before 1t
blooms. BY moving the timothy field
or red top patch closely, after 1t has
had chance to get start In late sum
mer, lot of winter roughage for the
birds also can be obtained.

coco is SERIOUS WEED PEST
Plant Also Known as Nut Grass u
One Of Most Troublesome Weeds
to Deal With.

By Z. r. LLOYD. Director OF Mississippi
Experiment Stauon.)
Coco or nut grass is one Of the most
troublesome weeds that we have to
deal with in the state. There are
large areas Of splendid land, as well as
good area of hill country. infested
with this grass. but We know of no
pratical method of eliminating 1t and
II has no economic value. Many
Delta farmers are using coco land for
growing small grains and alfalfa and
1t does not seem to interfere with
crops which are planted broadcast.
The grass may be held partially In
check by sowing the land thickly to
fall oats and as soon as the crop II
removed In June plant the land broad
cast TO cowpeas. The two crops will
shade the land practically an entire
year and smother out a considerable
portion Of the grass but this method
will not exterminate II.

or hulled oats, buckwheat, Egyptian
corn, barley, cowpeas, and milo maize,
while small quantity Of stale bread,

Canada peas are expensive, but seem
to be essential to the best results, es-
pecially during the breeding season,
and apparently take the place of green
feed to some extent. Peanuts are be-
ing used to some extent in place of
Canada peas. Green feed, such as cut
clover, alfalfa and grass, lettuce, and
plantain leaves may be fed to adj
vantage, but is not absolutely essential.

SILAGE OF DIFFERENT TYPES
Material Used In Construction Of sllo
Has No Influence on Quality Of
Its Contents.
(By C. H. EcKLEs, Missouri Agrlcul

(By c. II. ECKLES, Missouri Agrlcul-
tural Experiment Station.)
One Of the questions that comes up
when new silo Is to be purchased or
built is whether the material used In
the construction Of the silo has any
influence on the quality of the siIage,
The Missouri experiment station has
been studying this problem for two
years. Samples Of sllage were tuken
at the wall and at the center In silos
of the stave, iron, tile, Gurler, and
concrete types. These samples were
analysed and the results compared.
The results are given in detail ip Re-
search Bulletin %, recently issued. The
results Of the analysis showed no diff
ference In any way between the silage
from the different types. No one
should be persuaded TO base the selec-
ton OF the sllo to be used upon the
statement or supposltlon that one type
of silo makes better sllage than an
other. Any sllo that has tight wall
that keeps out the mir and is strong
enough to withstand the pressure will
preserve silage.
If the corn has sufficient moisture
when put into the sllo the only thing
that can interfere with the making of
good silage is the admission of air as
the result of a poorly built silo or In
sufficient packing at the time of filling.

quently matches first, and where there
are several cases where one squad
Outgrows its nest mate, 1t may be adj
visable to sort the squads in the nests,
making the pairs as uniform as pos
sible in size and age. If the parent
bird dies the squads may sometimes
be removed to a nest where there is
only one squad, or they may be fed
artificially, although this process takes
considerable time.
RoOsts of various sizes, usually ar
ranged In perpendicular rows, are
placed at convenient points In the
pen. A good type of roost is A.
shaped made Of two boards about 8
inches wide and 6 or inches long,
placed directly over each other so
that the pigeons will not soil one an
other with their droppings. If hop
pers or feed troughs are used they
should be Of good size, while the hop
pers should be constructed so that
the pigeons cannot waste the grain
easily by throwing 1t onto the floor.
Fountains or pans with floats in which
the pigeons cannot battle are best
adapted for drinking vessels, while a
galvanlzed-iron pan from 3 to 4 inches
deep and Is to 25 inches in diameter
makes a good bath pan.
Many varieties of grain are used In

HABIT OF ALL-coTToN MAN
Must Pull Fodder or Buy Rouehaos
Both Very Expenslve--Growina
Hay Is Cheaper.

The all-cotton farmer must pull fod.
der or buy roughage, both very ex-
penslve. Fodder pulling has very
strong hold on the small farmer and
the Affection farmer. There is not any
better way to break away from this
habit than to plant cowpeas and sor,
ghum for hay. As long as the farmer
makes no effort to grow hay he sim.
ply must pull fodder or buy hay. To
produce hay Is cheaper than either.
Cut down on some Of the cotton acre
age and plant enough in peas and sor-
ghum to furnish sufficient roughage
without the fodder. Learn to grow
more hay. and soon fodder pulling win
lose its charm. Certainly 1t Is a very
unpleasant undertaking during the
hot days Of August and September.

DRAINAGE ADDS TO PROFITS
BY Increased Yield and Decreased
Cost Of Cultivation Value OF Land
Is Often Doubled.

Lands that are too wet for the most
profitable production of crops, should
be drained. Even uplands may often
be drained with profit, especially hill
sides subject to erosion or inclined to
be "spouty." Indeed, drainage Is
profitable wherever 1t is necessary to
the fullest use of the land.
1t is not uncommon for lands too
wet for cultivation to produce, when
drained, 60 or 20 bushels of corn or
oats TO the acre. On much Of the
drained land the increase of yield is
from IS to 100 per cent, and by the
Increased yield and the decreased cost
Of cultivation the value Of the land IL

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The annual straw crop OF the United
States amounts to approximately 120,-
100000 tons, and the average value Of
all kinds OF straw is placed by spe-
ciallsts In the United States depart
ment Of agriculture at about IS ton
when fed to live stock. In many Sec
lions of the country, Of course. no such
price can be realized and, as a mat
ter Of fact, only very small part of
the crop actually is sold. Five dol
lars a ton, however, may be considered
to represent the value of straw to the
farmer If he will use 1t properly.
Nevertheless, investigations by the
department show that only about two
thirds Of the great straw crop is put
to its best use-live-stock production.
OF the remainder little more than
One-half is sold or turned under and
the rest, which amounts to about 10
per cent of the total crop, is burned,
as though, instead Of being a potential
source Of revenue, 1t was merely n
nuisance to be got rid of in the easiest
possible manner. Flowing under, too,
though not such an absolute waste as
burning, is an uneconomical way of
utilizing straw. 1t does contribute
something, 1t is true, to soil fertility,
but the benefit to the land is less than
that which would be derived from the
manure produced by feeding the straw
to live stock. "Of all systems OF at
tanning permanent soil fertility" says a
recent publication of the department,
none is so practical or as easily avail
able as that of feeding live stock"

USE CARE IN TRANSATLANTIC
Roots Of Trees Should Not Be Exposed
to Sun and Wlnd-ln Dry Wealth
or Cover With Straw.

One of the greatest mistakes when
shipping trees Is that of allowing the
roots to become exposed to sun and
wind. It Is absolutely necessary to
keep the roots wet from the time the
trees are received from the nursery
until they are planted. All roots that
are injured in digging should be cut
with a keen knife on the underside
so that the roots will grow straight
down.
If the trees are not ready to
plant, the roots may be perfected by
"heellng them in" By this Is meant
to set the tree in a trench and cover
the roots with loose earth. If the
weather is very windy and dry throw
a little straw over the trees and cover
with burlap.

BRIGHT PEA HULLS AS FEED
keenly Relished by Mules and Other
Kinds Of Live Sto0k-Avoid
Those MoIdy or Tainted.

Bright pea hulls that are not moldy
may be used as a rough feed for mules
and are keenly rellshed by all kinds of
live stock. They should be fed dry,
like hay. Be careful to see that they
are free from dust and dirt or other
wise It will be necessary to wet them
before feeding. However, no moldy
or tainted cowpea hulls should be fed
to mules or horses, although they are
all right In the steer ration.
To lend relish to the pea hulls lit.
tie salt may be sprinkled over them.
If they are clean, bright and properly
cured the work animals will clean
them up In short order. Only small
quantity of hulls should be fed for the
first two or three days until the ami
mails get used to the roughage, when
s to 10 pounds day may be given to
each mule.

CULTIVATION TO HELP CORN
Shallow az Well as Deep TIllags VIII
Destroy Weeds-Keep Surface
Of Soil Mellow.

Deep cultivation OF corn is never
necessary when the soil has been prop
erly prepared before planting. This
Is the result shown by investigations
at the Minnesota College Of Agriculture
as well as by Investigations of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. In most cases cultivation is
necessary almost entirely for the ellmi-
nation Of weeds. Shallow cultivation
win do this just as well as deep, and 1t
does not injure the roots Of the plants
Experiments have shown, however
that the yield Of corn increases with
succeeding civilizations up to six. Corn
cultivated twice at University Farm,
st. Paul, yielded As bushels of corn
and $40 pounds of slower, giving n
profit of $5.96. Corn cultivated six
times yielded nearly So bushels and
1891 pounds Of stover, giving a profit
of 5000.
The frequency of cultivation de-
ponds largely on the character Of the
soil and the conditions Of the seed
bed at the time of planting. Sufficient
civilizations should be made, however.
to keep the surface of the soil mellow,
free from weeds and loose.
Late civilizations should not be more
than two or three inches deep.
