SOME OF THE
LEADERS ARE DISPLACED.
Interest Quickens in the Egg Laying
Contest as End Nears.

Contest as End Nears.
There were two interesting and per-
haps significant changes among the
leading pens in the forty fourth week
of the laying contest. In the first
place Jules F. Francais' pen of Barred
Rocks from West Hampton Beach,
Long Island, that has been listed as
one of the best Rock pens every week
from the very beginning of the compe-
tition has finally been displaced by the
Agricultural College pen from Corval
lis. Oregon. Tom iBarron's pen of
English Leghorns that has continu-
ously held either second or third place
in the Leghorn class, since the middle
of December, has now been relegated
to fifth place by two Connecticut pens
entered by T. NJ. Peasley of Cheshire
and w. E. Atkinson of Wallingford
All the hens together laid 1891 eggs
in the forty fourth week. The Agri-
cultural Collese pen Of ''Oregons'
from Corvallis. Ore, We're an easy first
with a productions of SIS eggs. A New
Hampshire pen of Barred Rocks owned
by Fairfield Farms of Short Falls, were
second for the week with 81 eggs.
Two Connecticut pens of Leghorns,
owned by Francis f. Lincoln of Mt.
Carmel and w. E. Atkinson of Walling-
ford tied for third place for the week
with so eggs each. There were forty
! five pens including White and Barred
| Rocks. White Wyandottes, Rhode Is
land Reds, White Buff and Black
| Leghorns, Anco1ias, Oregons and Pro-
| gressiVes that made pen yields of so
| per cent. or better.
The hens in the contest have now
| laid q, grand total of IA, 600 eggs which
is slightly better than the final score
| in the contest two years ago. There
| will equal last years records within
| the next three weeks III which case all

TIMOTHY ENRlcHEs SOIL.
Tobacco Growers Get Good Results in
Seeding Land to Timothy.

Last year many tobacco growers
tried for the first time seeding down
tobacco land with timothy immedi-
ately after harvesting the tobacco
crop. The results were very salts
factory. A large top growth was Sc
cured and this means that a large
root system was also developed. This
is what is needed. When you con-
slider the large root system that the
timothy plant has and the large num-
Der Of plants that you will have
with a good stand. the total weight
of organic matter formed will be
enormous. Tobacco soils need this
organic matter. Stable manure is
costly and hard to get. Therefore
the most economical method of spend
ing time and labor to increase the or
ganic matter and humus in the soil
seems to be to put in timothy after
cutting the tobacco crop.

WHO IS PAYING THE BILLS?
Are Your Cows Keeping You or Are
You Keeping Your Cows?

A question often asked Is, care your
cows keeping you, or are you just keep
ing cows?" This is a pertinent ques-
ton for every dairynan to ask himself
and then go a step further and an
swer it. You should be able to answer
it and show proof. If you have no
records of your cows production either
collectively or individually, you can
not answer 1T positively. AS bust
ness man, you would be classed as a
poor one. After a real dairyman be-
gins to keep records and has kept
them for a season, he seldom if ever
discontinues them. Is this not suffi-
cient evidence for the poor business
dairyman to realize that he should
adopt this work as one of the things
that It will be necessary for him to
do to become successful in his dairy
work?

vENTILATE APPLE BARRELS.

visit to the wholesale houses last
week showed that shippers of apples
are very much to blame for the low
prices for which some of the apples
are selling. This in nearly all cases
is due to the low quality of fruit sent
in or to the lack of ventilation OF the
barrels. Red Astrachans were found
which We're in fair condition when
packed and shipped, but which ar
rived in a condition that made it
necessary to sell them for little or
nothing. Apples at this time of year
must be ventilated when placed in
closed packages. 1t is very easy
matter for those who ship in bar
rels to cut holes in the sides with
an ak or bore large holes in the sides,
top and bottom.

GREEN MANURlNG.

Do not forget the possibility Of i'm
proving the productive process of your
soil by growing q green manure crop
this fall and winter. One and one-half
bushels of rye per acre seeded any
time up to the middle of October will
give an excellent crop to pillow under
to increase the organic matter and
utilize the available plant food ele-
Jments that would otherwise likely be
lost Some one of the legune family
Eshould be seeded, but it is rather
doubtful if clover will get sufficient
start to Withstand the winter. Nam
moth clover, Is pounds per acre, is
probably the most likely to get the best
start, and withstand the winter If
seeded soon

FREEING PASTURES FROM FERN
WEEDS.

The presence OF the hay-scented fern
and the brake fern In pastures in the
Eastern United States is a serious det-
riment to the grazing of live stock
The Department OF Agriculture, in
Farmers Bulletin, No. 6S-, recom-
mends the following:
Cut the fern with scyt7e just as
the spores are beginning to mature and
repeat the cutting about the middle of
August before the second crop of
spores have a chance to spread. AS
soon as the cut ferns are dry, burn
them over to lessen the vitality of the
roctstccks.
