What About Chicken Law?

Isn't it about time something def
mite was being done regarding the
hosts of hungry chickens running at
large? Already a number of reports
have come in concerning early gar
dens wrecked by depredating chick
ems, gardens for which everybody
from the President of the Uunited
States on down is asking; gardens
which are to mean much needed food
which must be raised at home if it is
obtained. Are the people of Union
going to be content to have other pro-
gressive cities, and even towns make
and enforce this much needed law
while we sit complacently and have
our crops destroyed because we do not
like to offend the fellow who is so
narrow that he thinks his chickens
should be monarchs of all they sur
vey?
We do not for one moment question
the right of man to have polar
bear on his own premises, bears are
good things in their proper places,
and so LONG as the bear stays there.
there is no objection. Chickens are
most excellent asset likewise and
people are urged to keep them under
proper conditions. on their own prem
ises, not in other peoples gardens.
The sooner we understand the
weight of cooperation and moral laws
the sooner Union will grow along
wholesome lines. There should be no
reason for requesting the enactment
of chicken law if the people would
fairly and impartially recognize the
rights of others and obey the best
sentiment which prevails. We do not
think Of permitting our hogs, horses,
mules, cows and goats to run at large
and destroy property because public
sentiment has said 'tis wrong and un-
fair. Why not apply the same princi-
pie to chickens We are usually will

War Gardens for the production and
conservation of the all necessary food
we must first have protection, either
from a community sentiment, city
ordinance, or both, but it is hoped that
extreme measures will be unnecessary
and that the golden rule will find its
place with every chicken owner. but

DEPTH TO Pillow CORN i.
DEPENDS ON THE SOIL

The early cultivation of seed corn
need not be deep. if the seed bed has
been so prepared that it is firm below,
mellow at the surface, and free from
weeds, says A. c.. Army Of the Minnie
|sota experiment station. With the soil
so prepared, shallow cultivation kills
the weeds as they start and prevents
the formation of crust, thus keeping
the moisture in the soil. Such cultiva-
tion may be given with a narrow
shoveled cultivator or light harrow
the teeth Of which are adjusted to slant
backwards. If there are small, loose
sods or other material that may pre-
vent the young corn plants from, reach
ing the surface, the cultivator is to be
preferred to the harrow. ..5..H Il. 81 hi
If the seed bed has not been thor
oughly prepared, or if heavy rains have
packed a Well-prepared seed bed after
the corn is planted, medium deep cult
walton, either before the corn is up, fol
lowing the planter marks, or as soon as
the rows can be seen, followed by a
deep and close cultivation each way BY
the time the. corn is from four to six
inches high, is good practice.

TESTS SHOW NEED
OF SOIL INOCULATION

Minnesota experiments have proved
that ,inOculatiOn is necessary in Mime
sofa for the best results with alfalfa,
sweet clover or soy beans. A. G.. Army,
in charge of the farm crops section Of
the agronOmy division at University
Farm. urges farmers not to take
chances on planting these crops with
out incubation, and gives the follow
ing rules for incubation:
Secure a pound of well inoculated
soil for each bushel of seed which you
wish to inoculate. After the soil has
exposed to the sunlight at any time
Sift the soil until it is in the form of
dust. Inoculate the seed shortly before
planting.
Soil for inoculating soy beans should
be obtained from a field where soy
beans have been grown successfully
and are known to have had nOdules on
their roots. Soil for inoculating alfalfa
or sweet clover should be obtained
from fields where either of these crops
have been grown successfully; one will
do for the other.
For each bushel of seed to be inocu-
lated dissolve in quart of hot water
two or three tablespoons of ordinary
furniture glue and allow this mixture
to cool. When it is cool, spread the
seed on a clean floor and sprinkle the
glue solution over it stirring the seed
so that each one is moistened; then
scatter the finely sifted soil over the
moistened seed and stir thoroughly.
In this way some Of the inoculated soil
sticks to approximately every seed.
After the inoculated soil is applied
to the seed, it should be kept from ex-
posture to the sun, since sunlight kills
bacteria. When the seed is inoculated
in this way, it may be sown as usual.
If inoculating material cannot be Sc
cured otherwise, the farm crops section
will, upon receipt of 25 cents in stamps
to cover postage and packing, sehd
sufficient soil to inoculate one bushel
of seed. In sending orders for soil,
the kind of seed to be inoculated should
lalWayS be SDecified .-
