AGRICULTURE IN PUB
SCHOOLS.
PUBLIC

Students OF nine of the Bloomfield,
N. j., public schools put in practice
the past summer the knowledge
gained in gardening and poultry rails
ing during the previous winter.
An exhibition was held in the high
school recently in competition for 16O
prizes.
In the vegetable department there
were more than 100 entries; many
were collections of all seasonable
products. One collection contained
twenty-four varieties of autumn vege-
tables, and the exhibits generally were
such as to make professional garden
ers look out for their laurels. The
produce exhibited by the young ladies
was quite equal to that of the boys.
In the poultry department were
fifty pens of birds of different breeds.
| The poultry was raised by the scholars
from eggs purchased from the Board
of Educators demonstration pens.
The show OF pet stock was also at
| tractive.
In the home economics section of
the show canned fruits and vege-
tables, needlework and products of the
culinary art were displayed in great
variety.
Bloomfield stands unique in the
| teaching of elementary agriculture in
public schools as shown by the exhibit
ton. Through the Board of Educa-
ton and the supervisor of agriculture
A. G. Pcnncll. three gardening demon
stration plots are maintained in vari-
Gus parts of Bloomfield. These plots,
together with winter lectures on agri
culture, give the scholars an insight
in the art of gardening. Having this
knowledge, the children make their
own gardens at home.
To prove that poultry could be raised
profitably In the back yard the Bloom
field Board of Education purchased a
pen of twelve pullets and a cockerel
two years ago and have since that
time increased the demonstration
poultry plant to four pens consisting
of sixty-five birds I'm all. Not only is
poultry instruction given to the pupils
through these demonstration pens, but
eggs for Matching purposes are sold

ing of chickens. The records that have
been kept of the demonstration pens
and the home fiocks have proved con-

WASTE LANDS GROW WALNUT
PR0FITABLY.

Black Walnut, "a high priced and
fast disappearing timber. may be
grown proftably on waste land. While
walnut does not grow in pure stands
like oak and maple, groves may be set
out in unused agricultural lands, ac-
cordins TO the Department of Forestry
at the Ohio experiment station, by
getting a start from seedlings. The
seedlings may be secured by planting
the nuts in gardens this fall.
Because the black walnut is an ex-
tremely intolerant species, 1t will not
thrive directly in the shade of other
trees. To create good forest condi-
tons in the walnut groves 1t is neces-
sary to mix the seedlings with the
maple species. Pure paintings of the

ATTRACTIVE C00PS HELP TO
WIN PRIZES.

In the same degree that fine feath-
ers make fine birds" proper exhibition
coops assist markedly in improving
the condition and appearance of show
ring fowl when they stand "at atten-
ton" before the critical judges. Here
are the plans for practical coop
adopted as a travelling van for fowl
which are carried to the show in a
wagon, automobile or other vehicle and
not shipped by railroad:
1t can be made from a dry goods box
or almost any other available material;
the floor to be solid and the framework
of wooden strips two inches wide and
one and half inches thick. The top,
back and sides may be covered with
lath, wire netting, or any kind of thin
strong cloth: The front should be of
two inch wire netting II impossible
to obtain netting, however, lath may
be used, but should be placed about
two and half inches apart so as to
afford as much opportunity as possible
to see the birds. The coop is made two
feet wide, two feet deep and two feet
high, and will accommodate one ma
ture bird or a pair of chickens. II
more than this is to be exhibited to-
gether, the coop should be made larger
in proportion to the number of fowls
II is to accommodate.
Every poultry owner who intends to
exhibit his birds should have one or
more exhibition coops of this nature,
depending upon the number of speci-
mems he intends to exhibit. Birds can
be trained and conditioned in these
coops previous to the exhibition, and
in becoming accustomed to them they
will appear to better advantage when
being judged and are more likely to

In travelling through the valley of
the Loire River one is charmed by the
vast stretch Of slightly undulating
plain. The valley of the river repre-
sents a formation underlaid by chalk
which influences the makeup OF the
soil itself, and the cropping methods
followed by the French farmers.
The country is one OF interest 70
the traveller, partly because Of ma
tional tradition. One is reminded of
the old Roman camps, of the later in
vaslon of the Germanic tribes. Of the
Arab danger which in subsequent Gen.
turtles reacted in some measure ON the
inhabitants of this region, and of the
wars with England. The legends and
stories of that time centre around the
figure Of Joan Of Arc. 1t was at Blois
where her standards were blest il,
the old cathedral in 1929. 1t was
also at Blois where the Duke of Guisc
was assassinated by order of Henry
Ill. The castle at Blois was the TEN
porar. ybode of Maria de Medic:. In
the great forest of Boulognc and
de Russy the French nobility of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
were i'm the habit of engaging in tre-
quent hunting expeditions.
BY way of contrast to the old castles
some of which are still standing, one
finds the numerous French villages
stretched out In a rambling fashion
on the level floor of the valley. The
buildings in these villages are usually
located on a narrow winding street
The dwellings are of soft limestone
and have either tiled or matched straw
roofs. The village street often forms
n part of the main highway, and in
driving along the road one gets a
glimpse now and then OF we'll kept
gardens and small orchards, but the
street itself is far from attractive.
The space between the dwellings is
Joined by low stone walls, often in a
state of disintegration. Also many of
the dwellings show signs Of neglect

MARKETING EGGS.

Eggs from Petaluma, Cal, now sell
III the New York market for the same
price as eggs from near by and In
the wholesale market from one to
three cents below the eggs from
near by. -- ..
The California eggs come in at the
rate Of several thousand cases daily.
They are of an even shade of color,
all the same size, and the shells are
clean. They are packed in strong
cases with clean filters and excelsior
pads top and bottom. There is little
brenkage, because the shells are strong
and they are properly packed
Poutrymen around New York must
carefully grade their eggs for size and
color to compete with the California
supply and pack carefully
The dealers say that the loss from
local nrOduptiOn is "a follows.

HOW MANY HENS TO KEEP.

The size Of the flock which can be
most efficiently kept will depend first
of all upon the space available, and,
secondly, upon the amount Of table
scraps or other waste which is avail
able for feed. 1t is n mistake to try
to overstocl the available space. Bet
ter results will bo obtained from n
few hens in a small yard than from
4 larger number. The backyard poul-
try flock rarely will consist of over
20 to 25 hens. and in many cases OF
not more than or 10, or occasionally
Of only 8 or 4. For flock of 20 to
60 hens a space OF not less than IS
by 80 feet should be available for l..

No good manager will stand for
these losses.
The remedy is clean nests. One nest
for every five hens, with clean nesting
material. Collect eggs often--twico
daily. Handle eggs as little as pos
sible. Market eggs of correct size, "a
to 20 ounces dozen. Eggs weigh
ing less than 81 ouncessare graded as
seconds and culls.
EGGS that are oversize should be
used ut. home, as they are Liable :" be
crushed when packed with the stanu-
ard sizes and smear up the other
eggs.
Produce infcrtile eggs. Confne the
male birds that are to be used for
breeding purposes another season and
kill off the others.
Keep eggs in n dry, cool place until
marketed. If kept in damp, musty
places a mould will develop on the
interior of the eggs, and then they are
not good for food.
Do not permit eggs to come in con.
tact with bad odors, such as paints,
kerosene, disinfectants, decaying vcgc-
tables or meat.
Market eggs twice n week in warm
weather and once q week in the cool
season.
Remove broody hens from the laying
houses. Never expose eggs to the
direct rays of the sun or rain. Keep
the poultry houses clean, sanitary and
free from vermin. Feed fresh, clean,
wholesome food and provide pure,
fresh water in clean vessels. Feed
clean grain in straw free from mould,
AS mould on grain or straw causes
disease. and sick birds do not lay
eggs. Drinking vessels should DO
washed thoroughly every week with a
good disinfectant.
