Where II is inconvenient to distribute

rotation which places young birds al

In backyard poultry keeping scru-

night droppings should be removed
early in the morning. Those which

the soil of the yard that much of such

Frequent turning of the soil In small
yards is desirable, but ought not to be
accepted as proper substitute for re-

renewal of the soil to considerable

Good sanitation checks the rapid

does not destroy them. For this the
appropriate insecticides should be
used. In a series of tests of insecti-

sodium fluorid was found most effec-

making the birds treated immune to

choice or 'tea green" hay is to be Sc
cured.
Hay cut when past full bloom cures
quite rapidly If the weather Is favor
able, and hay moved in the forenoon
can be put into the barn in the af-
ternoon. This arrangement requires
an extra man and two extra horses to
rake the hay. To facilitate matters,
the side-delivery rake should be used,
so that loading can be started as soon
as the rake has made one round. The
fourth man will usually finish raking
by three or four o'clock In the after
noon, and can help load during the re-
mainder of the day. However, three
men pitching onto one wagon Is not
ordinarily a very economical arrange
ment.
Moving In the Afternoon.
Now. let us suppose that 1t is decid-
ed to do the moving in the afternoon
as well as the raking, and see how this
arrangement affects the size of the
crew. Such a method requires anoth-
er additional man or team, making
crew of five men working in the hay
field In the afternoon only. There will
be one man moving, one raking the
hay moved the day before, and three
men bringing hay from the field and
putting 1t into the barn. Two more
horses will also be required with this
method, making a total of six, yet
this larger crew will handle no more
hay per day than the three-man crew
above described.
The amount of hay that can be
handled under these conditions Will
be from 40 to 90 acres, depending upon
the yield. II the hay loader is used,
more hay can be handled per day. The
two pitchers work on the wagon build
ing the load. and the third man drives
the team.

On many farms haymaking Is car

ers working at the barn all of the
time.
The smallest economical crew for
bringing hay from the field and put
ting 1t into the barn is the three-man
and two-horse crew. In the East, the
common practice Is to load the wagon
with hand forks and unload 1t with
the horse fork or sling. This arrange
ment allows two men to pitch on the
load and one man to build the load on
the wagon and drive the team. When
the load is on. all three men go to the
barn to unload. At the barn one man
works in the NOV, one sticks the hay
fork on the wagon, and the third
man drives the team on the rope. No
time is lost, except that lost by the
two pitchers in travelling between the
barn and the field. In the East the
average distance between these points
is a quarter of mile or less.
Custom In East.
On most average-sIzed farms In the
East the general custom is to haul
hay in the afternoon only. In the fore
