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

The annual molt, 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 q complete
change of plumage, the first feathers
beginning to fall about July /. At
first tile egg production does not
materially decrease, but as the pre-
cess advances the drain on the sys-
TEN increases until the production
gradually diminishes toward Septcm-
Der 1. Usually egg-laying 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
cessfuily 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.

INTENSIVE METHODS ON FARM
Average Crop Of Strawberries is 100
Quarts to Acre-Maxlmum
Placed az 10000.

Just to show the difference between
an average crop and what may be
grown under intensive methods. 1t is
stated that the average crop Of straw
berries Is LOO quarts to the acre,
while the maximum record Of produc-
ton is 10000 quarts. While this vari-
alton is probably much greater than
that generally found in other crops, yet
no doubt the proportion is not very far
from correct In its application to most
farm crops. as well as fruit.

Stacking small grain may be '1ost

especially where the acreage is not too
big and the problem not too acute, 1t is
not lost; in fact, it is coming back, and
the wet year of 1915, and the resulting
low grade and loss of grain has done
much to bring it back. For the handling

LAND RESTED AND IMPROVED
Old Notion About Crop Of Timothy Is
Erroneous-Plant Food ls Taken
More Slowly.

1t is an old notion that land seeded
to timothy, even though the crop be
removed, is being rested and improved.
This, however, is not true in any other
sense than that horse that has been
driven rapidly may be considered as
being rested by being driven more
slowly. That is to say, timothy re-
moves the plant food from the soil
more slowly than does corn or wheat
because a smaller amount of plant food
is required to make the crop.

USE REPELLANT FOR CAD FLY
Sheep Is Recommended-keep
Animals In Dark Barn.

In the summer or early fall the egg
of the gad fly is laid that causes grub
in the head Of sheep. A fly does the
work, and the best way to prevent the
grub is to prevent the egg being laid.
A mixture Of tar and lard smeared on
the noses of the sheep herds repels the
fly. This may be done on large scale
by forcing the sheep to take their salt
out of anger holes made in logs or In
boxese provided for the purpose, in fly
season. Then keep these holes
smeared with the tar and lard. 1t also
helps to have dark barn where the
sheep can stand during the day, as the
fly will not bother them much in there.

CAUSES FOR sc0URs IN PIGS
Quarters and Troughs Should Be Kept
Clean to Prevent Trouble From
This Source.

ScOurs 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
II 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 a table
spoonful of sulphur in each feed for
several days. 1t is also well to give
the sow good dose Of epson salts. If
practicable, each pig may be given
teaspoonful of castor Oil or epson
salts. Charcoal also should be pro-
vided.

BEST QUALITY is ESSENTIAL
Margin Of Profit Worth Considering in
Peach Business-Thlnnino 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 a profit on any other kind of
peaches. 1t costs more to pack a basket
of small fruit than it does q basket 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. 1t follows that it is the
margin Of profit which is worth con
sidering in the peach business the same
as In any other business. 1t is not
the Gull that pays and thinning is the
most important factor in eliminating
the Gull peach.
