ALFALFA.

The alfalfa plots have come
through the winter in fine shape. The
county agent is becoming more and
more interested in the possibilities of
this crop. If you have not tried out
some on your farm plan to do so this
year. Alfalfa may safely be soWn up
until the first Of August and there
should be a good number of farmers
putting in acre plots within the next
four weeks. Weighings have been
made on several alfalfa plots giving
yields from 1 II to 3 tons per acre to
the first cutting. When we consider
that one ton of alfalfa is nearly equal
in food value to ton of bran, it
would seem that the little extra eff
fort and expense involved in growing
this crop is we'll repaid. Yields are
being secured on as many plots as
possible and more complete inforna-
ton will be given in the next News
Letter. Remember these four essen
tials for success with alfalfa.
1. Lime.
2. Well drained land.
3. incubation Of seed.
4. Northern grown seed, (prefer-
ably Grimm).

HOUSING OF GROWING CHICKS.

HOUSING OF GROWING CHICKS.
Another point that is important. Do
not move the pullets any more than
is absolutely necessary. It is a well
known fact that moving a pullet when
she is about to lay retards her early
laying as we'll as her growth; the
fright caused by frequent moving Of
young stock interferes with their
food and thereby results in their slow
and uneven development. Practical
poultrymen realize this fact and very
often brood their late Matched chicks
in their next winters quarters. In
that way they gain two or three
weeks in their growth which means
early layers, sometimes directly COM
peting with the earlier Matched
chicks.
In case you have to build, no par
ticular type Of house is peculiarly
adapted to all conditions. For a de-
tailed description, specifications, etc.,
of several different houses, write to
your county agent, or to the Exten-
sion Service of the University Of Yer
mont, Burlington, VT, for free Farm
ers' Bulletins No. STA and No. $50.
When through using them, let your
nelghbOr read them.
If one desires strong vigorous birds
in the fall, the proper housing of
growing chicks is far more important
than generally realized The fact
that the chicks need more house room
and ventilation as they grow older
is an essential factor. Very often
crowding in warm weather is a con-
tributing cause for roup, as it is fol-
low n hyvyo hi 4- IaI,
result in the chicks catching cold
when they go into the wet grass in
the morning. A constant recurrence
seated colds and finally roup. Crowd
ing also leads to cannibalism, stunts
growth, and very frequently kills the
weaker chicks. Chicks which are
eight weeks of age at this time Of
year do not need any artificial heat;
fresh air is of greater Importance.
The chicks are only in the house or
shelter during the night, and all they
need is protection from wet weather
and marauders.
The prime essentials in the housing
of growing chicks are fresh air, dry
ness, sunlight and space enough to
be comfortable. IF the chicks are to
be put in q house formerly occupied
by hens or chicks, remove all cobWebs
take away the earth for six or eight
inches, fumigate and disinfect thor
0uChly and refill with clean sand and
litter. 1t means a little work, to be
sure, but it is time we'll spent and the
health Of your chicks will more than
repay you. Remove the cockerels as
soon as they can be determined, as
this permits them to grow faster.
