tts full depth and turning the soil
to break up the clods. Heavy soils
should never be worked when wet.
Overzealous gardeners, ready to seize
the first warm spell as favorable op-
portunity to go out and work the
heavy clay soil before it is dry, are
not only wasting their energy, but are
doing damage to the soil from which
1t will take years for it to recover.
To determine when heavy soils are
ready for plowing handful of earth
should be collected from the surface
and the fingers tightly closed on it. If
the ball Of compacted earth is
dry enough for cultivation it will fall
apart when the hand is opened.
How to Ferttlize.
The soil. in the average backyard
is not only lacking in plant food, but
also has been packed until it is hard
and unyielding. To loosen up such
soil and make it suitable for garden
produce requires that careful atten-
ton be given to It's preparation. After
spading the Enclosure thoroughly, the
upper three inches should be made
fine with the use OF hoe and rake
Stones and rubbish should be removed
and clods Of dirt broken. The surface
should be marked off for planting in
conformity with the general plan of
the garden.
Barnyard or stable manure is thu
best fertilizer because it furnishes
both plant food and humus. An appli.
cation at the rate Of from 20 to 30 tone
to the acre of we'll rotted manure ii
very satisfactory. This should be ap.
piled after blowing or worked with Z
spade, and distributed evenly over
the surface and later worked in with &
hoe or rake. On many soils it is ad.
visable to apply commercial fertilizer.
especially phosphate, in addition t.
the manure. An application of 800 tt
600 pounds of acid phosphate to thf
acre is usually sufficient If addition
al potash is needed, which Is often the
case with sandy soils, this may be eco.
nomically supplied in the form OF
wood ashes. If the wood ashes are I'm.
leached they should be distributed
over the garden, using 1000 pounds to
the acre. If they have been wet, or
leached, 1000 pounds should be used
An application of 100 pounds to the
acre of nitrate of soda may be used in
the spring to start the plants before
nitrogen in the manure has become
available. It should be borne in mind
that commercial fertilizers will not
yield good results unless the soil is
we'll supplied with humus. Sod or
other vegetation which has overgrown

CONSTRUCTION OF NEST BOX
In Cold Climates It Must Be Tight
and Warm Enough to Keep lay
ing Hens Comfortable.

Where poultry houses are too small
to accommodate all the fixtures COM
fortably, some poultrymen practice
the plan of having the nest boxes out
side Of the partition wall. The nest
box is made Is inches wide and the
same in height and as long as desired.
Partitions are placed to allow II to
Is inches for each nest, according to
the size of the breed kept. The nest
box is attached to the outside of the
house with strong hooks and screw
eyes. The cover is hinged, and fitted
with pitch sufficient to shed water,
and is covered with roofing paper.
In cold climates the entire construc-
ton Of the nest box must be tight and
warm enough to keep the laying hens
comfortably when on the nest In hot
weather the nest box cover can be
slightly elevated to afford e ventila-
ton. In some cases this plan Of nest
box is quite q convenience as well al
a saving of room, as the eggs can be
gathered outside the poultry house.

The pigs place on the farm cannot
be filled by any other animal. He is
| not only profitable when grown as a
crop In himself, but some very i'm
portant places filed by him come
from his ability to make use Of feeds
that would otherwise be lost. Thus
he saves waste and utilizes materials
around the farm which only he can
use and converts these into market
able product and cash. The pig is
known as the "mortgage-1ifter," and
this appellation is certainly we'll de-
served.
Because of the pigs ability to util-
ize- the grain droppings from steers,
the pig often makes steer-feeding op-
erations profitable that would not
prove so without his aid. Mumford
reports in summary of ten different
experiments that the gains made by
pigs fed following steers paid from
0.94 per cent to 1867 per cent Of the
feed given the steers. These pigs were
thrifty shotos and did not receive ad-
ditional feed.
Considering the relative economy of
the different kinds Of live stock, the
pig takes place among the most eco
uomical. For the whole fattening pe-
Rod the OK requires 1,109 pounds of
dry feed to produce 100 pounds gain;
the sheep, 9l2 pounds, and the pig, 42O
pounds.
Among the classes of farm animals
the pig ranks second as a producer OF
human food from a given amount of
digestible matter consumed. The mich
cow leads in her power to convert
crops of the field into human food,
with the pig second, poultry following,
and the steer and sheep coming low

Feeding pigs on the farm has an
other value, and that is in relation to
soil fertility. The man who feeds his
grain to pigs sells a very small

the farm as compared with the one
who sells grain. Furthermore, in u.s.
ing forage or pasture crops the value
of the manure scattered over the field
is considerable.
Swine farming, like other branches
Of livestock farming, gives employ
ment to labor during the entire year,
and enables the farmer to keep hired
labor throughout the year and does
not longest it at harvest time. The
hog is the only farm animal that can
safely harvest the corn crop, and this
practice is gaining ground from year
to year among the most progressive
farmers, resulting in no little saving of
labor to the breeder who grows his
own corn.
