Eoos From Table Waste.

In every household, no matter how
economical the housewife, there Is a
certain amount of table scraps and
kitchen waste which has feeding value
but which, II not fed, finds its way
into the garbage pail.
Poultry is the only class of domestic
animals which is suitable for convert
ing this waste material, right where It
Is produced In the city, into whole
some and nutritious food in the form
Of eggs and poultry meat. Scraps Of
meat or leftover vegetables which can
not be utilized In any other way make
excellent feed. There are also many
other waste products, such as beet
tops, turnip tops, carrot tops. potato
parings, onion tops. watermelon and
cantaloupe rinds, the outside leaves Of
cabbages, waste lettuce leaves, bread
and cake crumbs, etc., all Of which are
relished by the hens and can be used
to the best advantage.

BUY PuIIets In Fall.

The best way for the city poultry
keeper to procure hens is to purchase
them In the fall. An effort should be
made to obtain pullets rather than
older hens, and the pullets selected
should be well matured, SO that they
will begin to lay before the cold
weather sets In. Evidences OF the
maturity Of pullets are the develop.
ment and red color Of the comb and
a size and growth which are good for
the breed or variety. Hens will lay
little or no eggs during the fall and
early winter, while they are molting.
well-matured pullets, however, should
lay fairly well during this period, 80
that an Immediate return is realized
from the investment. The purchasing
of pullets In the fall is preferable In
most cases to purchasing day-old
chicks or to Matching chicks In the
spring. Usually there Is little space
available for the raising Of chicks,
and. moreover, many city dwellers
hive had no experience In raising

Celery, Beets, Potatoes, Cabbage and
All Root Crops.

but this method is open to the objec-
ton that 1t is hard to get the celery
out when the ground is frozen.
Another method of storing celery, Is
to excavate pit 10 to IL inches wide
to depth of about "a inches and of
any desired length; thoroughly loosen
the soil in the bottom or shovel In
loose top soil to form bed In which
to set the roots of the celery, and pack
this trench with fully grown plants,
placing the roots close together with
considerable soil adhering to them.
Water the celery as it is placed in the
trench and allow the trench to remain
open long enough for the tops to be-
come dry. Unless the soil Is very dry
at the time of storing or extended warm
weather should follow, it will not be nee
essary to apply more water. Place II
inch board on edge along one side of
the trench and bank 1t with the sur
plus earth; cover the trench with a
roof Of boards. straw on poles, or corn
stalks from which the tops have been
removed, placing the stalks across the
pit with one end resting on the board
and the other on the ground; spread
over this light covering of straw or
other material which will pack closely,
and as the weather becomes colder in
crease the covering to keep out the
frost. Celery stored In this manner
will keep until late in the winter. This
method, because of It's simplicity, Is
recommended for the farmer and small
grower.
The unused pit of permanent hot
bed may be utilized MS a storage place
for celery by removing the surplus
earth and substituting a covering Of
boards for the sash. Store the celery
In the same manner as in the trench
and cover the bed with any material
which will keep out frost.
Celery may be stored on the floor
of a storage room. In the basement Of
dwelling or in an outdoor storage
cellar. Take up the plants just before
freezing occurs, with considerable
earth adhering. and set them on the
floor with the roots packed together
as closely as possible. If moderately
moist, the celery will keep well under
the conditions found In most storage
cellars. Celery should not be stored
In the same cellar as turnips or cab
hinge. as it will absorb the odor Of
these vegetables, running It's flavor.

BUSINESS MEN SHOCK WHEAT

prepared by the United States Depart,

Sixty business men of Worland,
Wyo., and the marching song, "Where
Do We Go From Here, Boysg are held
responsible for the expeditions shock
ing Of 200 acres Of wheat near Wor-
land In one evening during the recent
harvest. In the afternoon farmer
asked the county agent to furnish 20
volunteers. The county agent called
on the Alfalfa club, which had prom
ised to help out any farmer behind In
his work, and go men responded. The
farmers 100 acres seemed no job at all
to the enthusiastic sixty. so they be-
enn singing the song. When they I'm
ished singing two other farmers found
their wheat had been shocked, and
that town help had piled more grain
in the balance against the kaiser.

crops of clover.
Net Returns to Farmer.
Where a leguminous crop can be
properly harvested and fed to live
stock, and the resultant manure can
be returned In good condition to the
land, the net returns to the farmer
usually are greater than where the
crol is turned under directly as fer
hlizer. Factors which determine
whether crop should be plowed I'M
der or fed are: O The richness and
physical condition Of the soil, (2) char
acter of the crop ut the time 1t Is ready
to cut, (3) lack of live stock to con-
sumo the crop. (4) the price Of hay
and the local value of manure. The
problem Of what disposition each farm
or should make of green cover crops
Is one for individual solution, as each
man must make his own decision In
this regard in accordance with his To-
cal condition.
A green-manuring crop should be
turned under at least two weeks before
the next crop Is planted. In blowing
down the catch crop, the furrow slice
should be laid slanting, at an angle Of
30 to 40 degrees with the horizontal
Directly after blowing, the field should
be rolled thoroughly, as this hastens
decay and prevents the drying out Of
tho soil.
The principal green-manuring crops
which are now In extensive use include
crimson clover, sweet clover, burr Glow
er, soy beans, cowpeas, velvet beans,
vetches, Canadian field peas, and rye.

Green-manuring crops increase the
moisture-holding capacity of soils, and
In particular tighten heavy clay soils.
The New Jersey experiment station
calculates that two crops Of green
manure contain as much phosphoric
acid and potash and nearly as much
nitrogen and organic matter as 20 tons
and phosphoric acid are not added to
the soil, they are returned in more
available form. and If the green ma
nure used Is legume, at least part
Of the nitrogen Is an addition to that
already In the soil. However, 1t is ex-
pensive to handle the stable refuse,
while the green-manuring crop can be
grown directly on the impoverished
land, and thus be ready for uniform
blowing under when 1t has attained the
proper growth. The New Jersey sta
ton demonstrated that leguminous
green manures are more efficient than
stable manure In the matter of crop
production and in maintaining. the nj
trogen content Of the soil.
Benefits Lasting.
The residual value of a green ma
nure crop is evident for two or more
years after a crop of cowpeas or vel
vet beans has been turned under, ac-
cording to the results Of experiments
conducted in Alabama. The Canada
experiment farm at Ottawa ascertain
ed that the effect of turned-under
crop Of red clover was still strongly
evident the third year afterward. In
the western and northwestern states,
the green-manuring crops have not CIV

secured In the southern and eastern
states.

House Hens In Comfort.

Poultry can be raised successfully
on any well-drained soil. A light loan
which will grow good grass is well
adapted for this purpose, while a very
light sandy soil through which the
water teaches freely will stand more
intensive poultry conditions, but most
of the green feed for the fowls kept
on such a soil will have to be pur-
chased. A heavy clay or adobe soil Is
not as well adapted to poultry raising,
as such land does not drain readily,
and 1t is much more difficult to keep
the stock healthy.
Long stationary houses, or the In
tensive system, saves steps, but it Is
easier to keep the birds healthy and to
reproduce the stock under the colony
system, where the birds are allowed
free range. Breeding stock, and espe-
cially growing chickens, should have
an abundance of range, while hens
used solely for the production Of mar
ket eggs may be kept on very small
area with good results.
The colony house system necessi-
tates placing the houses, holding about
100 hens, from 200 to $50 feet apart,
so that the stock will not kill the grass.
The colony system may be adapted to
severe winter conditions by drawing
the colony houses together In con-
venient place at the beginning Of win
ter, thus reducing the labor during
these months.

GET-TOGETHER SPIRIT

The more the farmer shows
the get-together spirit the great
er is the advantage accrulng to
him, personally and from busi-
ness standpoint. New ideas, pro-
gressive methods, valuable busi-
ness connections can be gained
only by rubbing elbows with the
world outside his own fences.
Taking an active and positive
part in community events, inter-
change of views with successful
men of affairs, getting beyond
the border Of his county and
state and mixing with people
this Is to make himself felt In
his own community. All this
has n broadening value, not easy
to compute In hard dollars and
cents, but quite easy to sum up
in profitable results.

MORE ATTENTION
GIVEN CHICKENS
Substantial Increases in Twenty
eight States as Result of
Federal Campaign.
MORE eggs ARE PRESERVED
In sumo Sections Farmers Were In
duced to Dispose Of Poorer Stock
and Raise Purebreds-chicks
Hatched Earlier.

Reports Of poultry increases during
che past year have come from % Of
the 80 states In which the United
States department of agriculture and
allied forces started a more poultry"
campaign In November, 1917. The
gains range from, 10 to so per cent.
The main increases were on farms, al
though village and city back yards
shared In the upward trend. Prospects
for further increases also were report
ed.
Cooperation In the poultry cam
paign was given to the department OF
agriculture by many agencies, notably
the state agricultural colleges and civic
and patriotic organizations. In some
sections hundreds of farmers were in
duced to dispose of poor stock In favor
Of pure-breds. Because Of the high cost
OF feeding, poultry keepers are re-
spending rapidly to this method Of in
creasing profits AS an example, In
Green county, Missouri, on August %
more than 300 farm flocks were culled
through the efforts Of the local leader
organizations.
More Day-oId Chicks Sold.
A large number Of chick hatcheries
reported, as a result of this and other
campaigns, that they had sold more
day-old chicks the past season than
ever before. 1t is believed that at
least so per cent Of poultry producers
hatched earlier this year than in pre-
yious years as result Of the efforts
for early Matching.
Thousands of families in cities and
towns all over the country were In
duced to keep a few hens In their back
yards to utilize table waste and supply
the home with eggs. In number of
larger towns and cities ordinances pro-
hibiting keeping poultry within certain
districts were overcoEca by getting Of
ficials to allow backyard fiocks within
the city limits as a war emergency.
Eco Preservation Shows Increase.
Big demand for water glass through
out the country Is taken to indicate
that more eggs were preserved than In
any previous year, and new sections
were reached by the advice to produce
infertile eggs.
Other phases of the campaign have
been efforts to encourage the growing
Of all possible poultry feeds, consump-
ton of poultry and eggs to conserve
the meat supply, better methods OF
housing, better management of poul-
try and better methods of marketing
products and buying feeds.
The department Of agriculture has
"a extension poultry husbandmen at
work and four district supervisors,
with headquarters at Chicago, Kansas
City, Oklahoma City and Los Angeles.

Owing to the difficulty usually ex-

to soak them few hours before plant

finish the covering with fine dry soil
The dust mulch will retain the mois-
ture, enabling the seeds to germinats
