NOTING PERIOD IS TRYING
PouItrymen Wishing Winter Eggs Are
Anxious to Get Hens Through
Ordeal at Early Date.

The annual mott, which starts with
the arrival of dog days, is a most
critical time in the life of hens. She'd
ding old feathers and growing new
ones comes when the vitality Is at a
low ebb. In normal mott about four
months are required for a complete
change Of plumage, the first feathers
beginning to fall about July l. AT
first the egg production does not
materially decrease, but as the pro-
cess advances the drain on the sys-
TEN increases until the production
gradually diminishes toward Septem-
Der 1. Usually egg-laylng will not
commence again until the new set of
feathers is complete.
If, however, the poultryman is for
tunate enough to bring his hens sue
cessfully through the mott and get
them laying by mid-November, the
fowls will probably continue to lay
throughout the winter. Thus poultry
men wishing to produce winter eggs
for markets are very anxious to get
their hens through the mott at an
early date.

BEST QUALITY is ESSENTIAL
Margin Of Profit Worth Considering In
Peach 6uslness-Thinnino Is
Important Factor.

Peach profits are greatly reduced
by the cost Of picking and packing
and marketing. 1t is the best quality
Of fruit that brings the profit and
there is really very small chance to
make q profit on any other kind Of
peaches. 1t costs more to pack a basket
Of small fruit than 1t does q bnske; Of
large specimens as there are more to
handle. The same thing applies to
picking. The package costs the same
regardless of the quality of the fruit.
There is no difference in the shipping
cost Of a basket of culls and a basket
Of fancy fruit. II follows that it is the
margin of profit which is worth con-
sidering in the peach business the same
as in any other business. II Is not
the Gull that pays and thinning is the
most important factor In eliminating
the Gull peach.

1t has been shown In experiments
with corn made by the United States
department of agriculture that weed
eradication Is the principal II not the
only beneficial result of cultivating
this crop after planting. This means
that in cultlvatlng the corn crop the
implements used should be designed
primarily for accomplishing the de-
struction of weeds in the easiest and
cheapest manner. 1t seems to indicate
further that MS weed control becomes
more thorough, intercultural tillage OF
growing crops may be accordingly de-
creased.
Far more important than to kill the
weeds is to avoid having weeds to
kill. In other words, the farmer
should aim to prevent rather than to
cure the evil. A farm may be made
almost free Of weeds by strictly OBJ
serving the following three principles:
az prevent weeds from going to seed
on the farm; (2) prevent weed seeds
being brought to the farm, and (3) in
case of perennial weeds, prevent them
from making top growth, which will
finally starve out the underground
parts,
Equally as important as these three
principles, however, is the man behind
them. Many men make start to clear
their farm Of weeds, but quit too soon.
Often the campaign Is stopped when

CAUSES FOR ScoURs IN PIGS
Quarters and Trouehs Should Be Kept
Clean to Prevent Trouble From
This Source.

Seours In pigs is a symptom Of In
digestion and Is usually caused by too
much feed, changing the feed of the
sow, dirty pens or chilling the SOW In
cold rains or winds. The quarters and
troughs should be kept clean with
plenty Of sunlight and good ventilation
to prevent trouble from this source.
If scours should appear in pigs in
spite OF all precautions. the following
treatment Is recommended by the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station:
Clean up more Thoroughly than before,
reduce the sow's feed and give table
spoonful of sulphur in each feed for
several days. 1t is also well to give
the sow good dose Of epson salts. II
practicable, each pig may be given
teaspoonful Of castor oil or epson
salts. Charcoal also should be pro-
vided.

CURE FOR THE KICKING cow
Rope or Strap May Be Arranged on
Animals Body Making 1t lncon-
venlent for Her to Lift Foot. Il

Select rope or strap long enough to
phss around the cows body at the
hips with about a foot of rope to
spare and fasten a ring In one end.
Place the rope around cows body just
back of the hips and In front of the
udder. Put the rope through the ring
and draw 1t reasonably tight and fasten
1t by slipping the loose end under the
taut rope. This will be found to bind
the muscles Of the hind quarters so 1t
Is very inconvenIent for the COW to
lift her foot. If the COW is vicious
kicker, the rope will need to be drawn
up pretty tight. The COW will make
many efforts to kick and may succeed
in raising her foot pretty high the
first few times this method Is applied,
but she will finally give up. Don't for
get that your success with this method
depends on keeping at 1t until the
mere presence of the rope around her
body will suffice.

RANGE FOR THE YOUNG BIRDS
Problem Of Supplying Green Feed for
Chicks Does Not Receive Suf-
ficient Attention.

(By +. C. HARE. South Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station.l
The problem Of supplying a range
or green feed for chicks does not re-
ceive sufficient attention. This is an
important side of the proper rearing
Of poultry. and the farmer who has
sour milk. to spare and good green
range has more than half his chick
problem solved.
For temporary feeding one can soak
oats overnight In water, wash them
thoroughly next morning, and spread
them In half-inch layers In boxes or
trays. Place these trays In the shade
outdoors and sprinkle with water twice
daily, In from three to six days the
oats viii be ready for feeding. For
baby chicks Feed when the sprouts are
one-half inch long. giving once daily
what the chicks win eat In about ten
minutes.
Rape may be sown, and, when grown,
cut up and fed to chicks. Cabbage,
lettuce. mangels, beets, turnips, can
also be used for green feed.
The only really satisfactory way,
however, to supply green feed and q
good range is to sow piece of land
to Bermuda grass by blowing the
ground and dropping a piece Of Der.
muda sod every Is inches, and to put
some bur clover into this Bermuds
grass In the fall.

GUARD AGAINST WHEAT RUST
Department Of Agriculture Issues
Warning Against Use Of Seed
From Western States.

All farmers east Of the one hundred
and fourth meridian. which runs near
Cheyenne and Denver, are urged by
the department Of agriculture not to
purchase for seed any wheat grown
west Of that line. A very destructive
rust Of cereals. known as stripe rust.
has been found In this country, but
thus far II is known to occur only
west Of the one hundred and fourth
meridian. The spores Of this particu-
lar kind of rust may be distributed
on the seed Of grain: hence the pre-
caution against using seed from re-
gions where the rust exists. The ship
ment OF wheat for milling may dis
seminate this rust along the rights Of
way Of railroads, but that is some
thing that is very difficult to control.

MINERAL MATTER is NEEDED
Material for Making Bone. and Feath-
ere and Formation of Egg Shells
Must Be Supplied.

All of the grains contain what Is
called ash, which supplies material for
the making Of egg shells. While the
chicks are growing they also demand
mineral matter fer the making OF
bone and feathers. If the hens can
not find enough lime to supplement
that found In the grain they eat, some
form Of lime must be given. A hen
laying 100 eggs a year will require 1.6
pounds Of mineral matter for the
SHELLS. A hlgh-laying hen ordinarily
cannot find enough lime in the yard
to supply the demand. Oyster shells
are a cheap source Of lime. They con-
tain about 90 per cent Of lime.
Dry ground bone contains about 40
per cent Of carbonate OF lime, and has
other value In addition TO the mineral
matter 1t supplies Ground bone is es-
pecially good for growing chicks.

CLEAN THE DAIRY UTENSILS
First Rinse With Cold Water to Re-
move MIX Partieles--When Pos

Milk utensils should first be rinsed
with cold water to remove all particles
of milk. then thoroughly scrubbed
with brush In warm water to which
little good washing powder has been
added. They should be steamed or ut
least rinsed In boiling water. No wlp-
ing cloth should come In contact with
them after scaldlng. When possible.
all utensils should be placed In good
sunlight and pure air.
The separator, Of course, must also
be cleaned thoroughly. No one should
place any confidence in the claim that
separators wash themselves by simply
running water through them. Washing
separator Is not a difficult task II
done soon after separating. The water
for washing should be warm, but moi
enough to cook the curd.

PROVIDE SHADE FOR POULTRY
Platform Built About Two Feet From
Ground and Covered VIII Prove
Entirely Satisfactory.

When poultry Is penned the fowls
should be furnished plenty Of shade.
II natural shade is not at hand, artifi-
clal shade. should be furnished. A
good plan is TO build platform is
inches or two feet from the ground,
and IL II is so 1t can be removed, the
earth can be dug up underneath, max
ing n splendid place for the hens to
spend the hot part OF the day. Rails,
posts or boards make the best mate
rials to cover the platform. During
wet. rainy weather the hens have an
inclination or desire to get up on TO
something out of the mud. They viii
get on the woodpile, the fence, wag-
on. or. in fact, anything. to be up of
the ground. The platform just men
toned makes a splendid rest for them.
During hot. dry weather the hens get
under the platform for shade. and dur
xng the wet weather they get on top
OF It out Of the mud.
