cling to the vine and become dried and shriveltd. The disease aleo at tacks the leaves and tendreis The infested parts of the plant will give rise to new infection. Fastening paper bags over the young punches early in the season is a satisfactory method of protecting the fruit where one has but few vines. But spray ing is always advisable, because it protects the leaves and other portions of the plant and at the same time com mbatS n1ildew.
 Spray with bordeaux mixture 5-5- 30. A complete calendar for spray ing includes three applications, the first when the leaves appear, the second after the blossoms fall and the third (which may be continued every 10 days thereafter) two weeks after the second treatment. The frequency of this treatment depends upon the weather. A warm, moist season is conductive to any and all fungus diseases. If possible apply the spray material with from 80 to 100 pounds of pressure. One should always re- member that improperly made bor- deaux mixture will burn the foliage.
 Dissolve five founds Of blue vitrol in a. few gallons of water and s1ake five pounds of caustic lime in enough water to make lime milk. Strain the lime milk Pour them together at the same time into a barrel and add water to make 50 gallons of spray material. Where rose bugs are eat ing the grape blossoms or young grape sets five pounds of arsenate of lead paste and one gallon of molass- should be added to this 50-gaIlon spray.

It takes d very little increase in production to make a decided increase in the profits. On the average farm it would not be at all impossible to in crease the production eggs per hen per month with better care and man agement alone. Taking the average number of hens per farm 592, and al lowing an average of 45 cents per dozen, which Is very conserva tive price for the present years, 1t would mean an increase in receipts of S532. While this extra care would invoive some little expense, the expense return.
 Better Stock-Nore careful breed ing from high producing stock win improve egg production, but it is a long time proposition. While careful breeding is always advisable, what we duce immediate results.
 Care and anagement-Better care and management will give increased production at any time of year Care full feeding and the use of sour milk and green feed will increase pro1uc- tion without increasing feed cost.
 Culling-Culling out the non-pro- ducers is perhaps the most effective production. Such a culling can begin the latter part of June and continue until the late fall when the highest producers will be automatically se- lected for breeders the coming year. In some cases laying hens are being marketed because Of the high price of grain. This is great economic loss and one that can be easily prevented if birds are carefully selected. For those not familiar with cullinE low producers the poultry department stands ready to give dennonstra tions wherever a few pou1trymen are inter- ested. Such demonstra tions should reduce the feed bills without decreas- ing the egg yield
 Whatever means fig used see to it that maximum egg production is maintained. The average poultry farm cannot long endure without high egg production.-Roy E. Jones, Con necticut Agricultural College.

or at least every two or three days
 In this way, if plenty of bedding be
 used, practically all the valuable con-
 StItuents of the manure are saved
 since teaching after the manure is on arable land merely serves to put tho fertilizing materials where they ought
 to be. In this way, too. loss through heating, or fire fanging,' is avoided Many farmers. however, are not so situated as to make it profitable for them to handle manure in this way. For such farmers the concrete manure
 pit offers an ideal way of saving man
 ure. Such pit need not entail great expense. A pit feet deep 12 feet long and feet wide. with walls and
 floors , inches thick. will serve the needs of the average farm. Tn ground that does not cave in. only an Inside form will be needed for such a pit. ex- cept where the concrete extends q few inches above the ground to prevent
 flooding by surface water. The floor fencing. put in after about two inches of cement has been laid, the section of fencing being cut long enough to bend up few inches at either end into the side walls. When the reinforcing has been put in. the remaining three inch
 es of the floor is laid and the forms for the side walls set up and used
 Immediately. Use one part cemeut. two of sand, and four of screened gravel A pit of this kind is large enough to hold the accumuia ton of
 manure on the average farm until such time as il can be hauled con veniently to the field and spread.
 Another good way to save manure, especially in the case of hogs or or cattle, is to have a concrete paved feed lot, prefera bly, under a shed roof. Where the farmer can not afford a paved floor, a cheap open feeding shed may be made to serve the purpose very well, if abundant bedding fs used to absorb the valuable liquid man ure. Tn such a feeding lot or shed. the manure is allowed 10 gather under bedding being strewn over the we'll tranped accumulation below. Some farmers using this system arrange their feed racks so that they can be raised from time 10 time, making it possible to feed till several feet of solidly packed manure has accumu lated under the shed. T. has been shown that manure suffers little from heating and teaching when handled in this way.
 The feeding shed serves the pur- pose of giving the general farm, or the beef cattle farm, something of the saving held by the intensive dairy farm. It has been shown by farm management surveys that the manure saved on the American farm under present conditions Is almost exactly proportional to the number of ant mals stall-fe on the farm. and that the manure of animals not sta b1ed has very little effect on yields, except in cases where field crops are "hogged- off or otherwise pastured down or where pasture is used in rotation.

EGG PRODUCTION.
A Controlling Factor Tn Poultry
 Farrins-Survey Made in State.

A poultry farm management survey has been taken on 42 representative poultry farms in Connecticut. The object of this survey is to make a complete study of the business on each farm, and by tabutating the re- suits determine the controlling factors which mean profit or loss
 While no new or startling facts have been discovered, some well known truths have been brought out in a way worthy of consideration.
 The average labor income. that is the amount credited to the operators s labor after paying all expenses in cluding taxes and 5 per cent. interest on the investment, was S752. The range was from better than S2,OO0 down to $500 minus. This represents a fairly good income in most cases when it is considered that house rent, milk, vegetables, etc. are all includ- ed.
 Egg production is the barometer of success in poultry farming. Where egg production is high, the labor in- come is high, and where egg produc- tion is low the labor income is either very low or minus. A hen must lay a reasonable number of eggs in order to pay a profit as shown by the fol- lowing table:

the feeding of a ton of alfalfa hay supplies about 100 pounds of digesti- ble protein more than a ton of mead ow hay supplies, and thereby reduces the need for digestible protein in boughten feeds by approximate1y that amount.
 Let us see what that would mean
 ''Cottonseed meal contains about $40 per cent. of digestible protein. It would follow. then, that increasing the protein in 'roughage' by substi- tuting alfalfa hay entirely for mead ow hay should decrease the need for equivalent of 294 pounds of cotton seed meal for every ton of alfalfa fed. These 294 pounds of cottonseed meal at present prices cost more than s7.0O"
 Alfalfa increases fertility when plowed under by adding vegetable material, containing nitrogen taken largely from the air. Simply growing and cutting alfalfa will not improve the soil greatly but when the roots and stubble are plowed in the crps following are benefited. Alfalfa re- qufres liberal amounts of lime, potash, and phosphoric acid. It is not a poor land" crop, but it's growth means bet ter crops and more feed for the dairy.
 Alfalfa, is well worth thorough trial in Connecticut because: CD It sue ceeds reasonably well if properly started. (2) It is worth much more most nutritious roughage that can be grown. (4) It helps to maintain soil fertility If used in the cropping sys- tenn on any farm The following dairy farm rotation for alfalfa is suggested.
 Alfalfa for three or four years; fol- lowed by corn for one or two years; then oats and peas for hay with al faIfa seeded in August of the same year.-BenJarnfn G. SouthwfGL1, Fx- tension Agronofist, Connecticut Agri- C0ToOe
