feet from the ground and pile eyer greens or any brush on either side of 1t. This is a favorite stunt at the wild game rearing farms used inside wire enclosures.
 l visited the North American Egg Laying Contest in New Jersey last July The contest plant contains 100 separate houses in small yards and 500 layers. Some yards were almost bare of vegetation, while others were covered with high growth. The man. ager showed me his, records that the hens in the bare yards were the poorest layers while those in the green yards were the best. l will never forget his statement: Hens that fill up on green feed don't eat sufficient mash to make many eggs. The best layers keep close to the mash hopper and don't fool with the grass"
 Profit by this advice and keep the dry mash before the hens, even if they are on grassy range. From 75 to 90 per cent of the green stuff hens pick up is water. The bulk and the minerals in the green are ben eficial, but the bugs eaten are what help the egg producing organ. ss
 A lot of brooder chicks that had an outbreak of white diarrhoea by being chilled the first night in the brooder are the pictures of health. They have a dry mash before them, receive cracked corn three time daily soaked oats once daily, cooked meat week, and they drink on the average six quarts of thick, sour skim milk daily. There are now 60 chicks in the brood and they are Is days old.

 You cannot become a persistent winner at the shows unless you know what the judges want and mate your specimens in small matings to produce this ideal. Breed father on daughter, mother to son, and reia- tives together, thereby impressing the desirable qualities in your strain. You must have selected stock to line breed in this way, otherwise your flock will rapidly deteriorate.
 ] Sodium fluoride will be the most popular lice exterminator when 1t can be easily procured It is manu- factured in Ohio and New York. Or der it through your local druggist and induce him to keep it in stock. At present retail prices cents worth will destroy all lice on two or three hens, but under normal prices it should treat ten hens. A pinch on the head, neck and throat, and an other pinch on the back and body will kill all the lice on chick and not injure it. One application to all hens and chicks in flock at one time will destroy all lice, including those in the egg stage.

last working will make a great deal frost.
 The Iron of Brabham COW pea is a good variety for planting stubble land. Some of the peas will mature and can be picked. while the vines can be moved for hay.
 
 The south should put in large acreage of velvet beans, for they will largely take the place of corn for feeding farm stock and thus release a lot of corn for human consumption.
 If stubble land can't be broken as soon as the grain is harvested, at least try to disk it. This will con serve the moisture in the land and will make it possible for it to be turn ed later when there is more time.
 A good way to put in lima beans is to plant row entirely around the garden so that they may climb on the fence. These beans bear for a long time but are not heavy croppers. A liberal planting is therefore neces- sary.
 If you have an especially good field of rye, you had better save some for seed, With the shortage of bread stuffs and the high prices paid for all grains, seed rye is likely to be scarce next fall-if it can be bought at any price.
 By all means buy a canning outfit this year. Canning is hard and un- certain job the way it is practiced on the majority of southern farms so ] it will be real economy to spend a | little money for a canner and outfit. | When this is done. some of the men | folks ought also to help with the job. sExt !
