IMPORTANCE OF PASTURES.

We are told in Bulletin No. 626 of the United States department of agri- culture that of the S16,153 acres in the farms of the state of Connecticut BIT, 051 acres are in woodlands, 173, ,030 acres are improved and that 266,072 acres are thus left for pastures.
 This means roughly that almost four -tenths of the land of the farms is in pasture, while but one-quarter is in general acres. Further this means that on the average farm of S1.5 acres there is an area of about 30 acres in pasture besides what grazing may be had from the so- called woodland.
 The importance of pastures to indi- vidual farmers may be learned by talk ratino replaced by forage from the pasture, says Henry Dorsey of the agronomy department at Connecticut Agricultural college, Storrs. By in quiry it has been found that during the pasture season all of the silage and hay are usually replaced. In addition to this about half of the grain ration Is replaced. Where the pasture Is es- peciallv good, all forage and grain may be replaced.
 Although. of great importance to the farmer with cattle, pastures, due to the rough land occupied or to the care lessness of the famrer, have received less real care and thought than any other farm crop. Yet it is known that grass responds to proper care more readily than many other crops The attitude of the American farmer to- ward his pasture has not led experi-

BROOD coOPS,


 Chickens matched during the winter should be brooded tn a poultry house OF shed while the outside weather conditions are unfavorable: after the weather becomes settled, they should be reared .u brood coops out of doors. Brood cOops should be made so that they can be closed at night. to keep out cats, rats and other animals and enough ventilation should be allowed SO that the hen and chicks will have plenty of fresh air.
 The hon should be confined in the coop until the chicks are weaned. while the chickens are allowed free range after they are a few days old. Where hens arc allowed free range and have to forage for feed for them selves and chicks. they often take them through wet grass where the chicks may become chilled and die. Most of the feed the chicks secure in th.s manner goes to keep up the heat pt he body. whereas feed eaten by those that are with a hen that is con lined produces more rapid growth, as ine chicks GO not have so much ex- trcise. Then. Zoo. in most broods there are one or two chicks that are weaker than the others. and if the hen ls allowed free range the weaker ones often get behind and out of hearing of the mothers cIuck and call In most cases this results in the loss and death of these chicks. due to becoming chilled. If the hen is con- fined the weddings can always find shelter and heat under her, and after a few days may develop into strong, ea'thy chicks.
 The loss in young chicks due to all lowing the hen free range IS undoubt- cd'y large. Chicks frequently have 10 be caught and put into their GOODS during sudden storms. as they are ant 10 huddlc in some hole or corner where they get chilled or drowned They must he kept growing con s'antly if the best results are to be obtained. as they never entirely re- cover from checks in their growth even for a short period.

This enables us to get a crop either for hog pasture or for hay the first year.
 The advantages of this method are:
 l. We do not lose the use of the land for one year.
 2. There is less damage from injury by grasshoppers than in the case cf late summer seeding.
 3. Ii insuFes a strong root system and less chance for winter killing. The only disadvaRtage of this method Is that, if the ground Is foul, the alfalfa may be smothered by weeds.

TIER CARE FOR
 BREEDING EWES


 FlocSmasters are urged to see that their breeding ewes are receiving the proper kind of attention at this time in order to produce the most prohta- hle lambs. The ewes should be in good thrifty condition. It is not nec- cssary to feed a large amount Of grain to breeding ewes which are re- ceiving good, clean, mixed clover and timothy hay, clover hay or alfalfa. Where bright corn fodder is available in conjunction with some leguminous feed very good results can be ob- tained from feeding what the ewes will clean up nicely in the middle of the day at one Ieed. Where the breeding flock is little thin in con- dition a gran mixture of equal parts of corn, oats and bran by weight, fed at the rate fone-fourth to one-half pound per head daily, will be found most satisfactory and will increase the profits. as the ewes will be better mothers and stronger milkers when the lambs come.
 It is not necessary to provide close quarters for the breeding flock, ac- cording to United States Department of Agriculture specialists. They should be kept in a clean, dry place, which is dry overhead and underfoot and free from drafts. Plenty of ex- ercise is very important, and the breeding ewes, should be out every clear day. Where forages are fed and winter pastures are not available. il will be found beneficial to spread the forage over the ground some distance from the shed, and as the ewes feed back and forth over it they will thus gain plenty of exercise.
 The flock which is in good thrifty condition, properly housed and prop crly fed and receives adequate exer- else, will lamb out much better and will cause the shepherd far less diff ficuity

 The deposits in Costa Rica are found a5 several places on the Nicoyan pe- ninsul, in the Province of Guanacaste, which extends along the Pacific coast Most of the known deposits, and all those which have been the soif-ce of the shipments, lie within about 16 miles of Playa Real on the Pacific coast In the northern part of the peninsula other isolated deposits occur in the eastern part of the peninsula, near the Gulf of Niceya, As the central part Of the peninsula is covered with dense forest and is difficult to cross further exploration may bring other deposits 10 light

ALFALFA: ITS VALUE
 AND HOW TO GROW TT
By P. G. HOLDEN

Many good stands of alfalfa have been secured by seeding in the spring with a light nurse crop of early oats or barley. In case oats are used it is best to SOW not more than a bushel to the acre, cutting them when it bloom, for hay. The advantages of this meth cd are that we secure a crop and do not lose the use of the ground for one year. Some of our best alfalfa grow CTS have used beardless barley as a nurse crop with good results in spring seeding.
 Some of the best stands of alfalfa have been secured by sowing In the middle or last of June For June seeding, the ground is manured and

pouLrRY HOUSE coNsrRucrloh

The best time to build a poultry house is in spring or early summer, for then it will have time to dry out during the hot days. Lumber is often rather damp, and it must be thofough- ly dried out before winter or the birds housed in the building will be in dan ger of contracting colds.
 Cement floors and foundation walls if made in the spring will also have an opportunity to dry thoroughly, and much of the dampness often attributed to them will be avoided
 Spring or early summer is the busy time on the farm, so those who fore- gee the need of new poultry houses next winter will do well to build them during the slack time this winter be- fore spring work starts. Do not put the birds into the new building, how ever, until it has been dried out.

WINTER CARE FOR HORSES.

Horses should not be confined to the barn through the winter on a full ration of grain: rather they should be ''roughed" through the cold months, say men who are devoting themselves to the study of farm livestock.
 Plenty of exercise is essential for the health of the horses. They should, therefore, be given the run of yard or a lot during the day. The yard should be provided with protected shed, one that is dry and we'll pro- sist a great amount of cold because of natures provision of a heavy coat of hair. yet the shed is desirable for protection against rains and cold winds.
 At this time of the year practically all the heavy work on the farm has been finished and the horses will be more or less idle during the winter. Since no return is received in the form of labor the feeding should be as economical as possible. Neverthe- less proper care must be given the draft horses in order that they may be in the best possible condition for spring work.
 The grain in most instances can be eliminated from the ration if the roughages are of good quality. It has been found that idle horses do wei on winter feed consisting of all the hay, oat straw, cornstalks and sor- ghums they will eat. The condition of the horse when startit ! into the winter determines the a4Iount ot grain to be fed in the ration. If the animal is low in condition it is nee. essary to feed grain, but on the basi! 1 of economy roughages should make
 up the bulk of the ration.

FROST CRACKS IN TREES.

During zero weather a person may observe cracks extending oftentimes from the surface of the ground up into the main limbs of fruit trees and these cracks may be from . quarter of an inch to a half inch wide.
 They are known as frost cracks, caused by the expansion of the ice when the sap freezes. There is no method of controlling this trouble, and in many cases it may not cause any direct harm to the trees, according to s. P. Hollister of the pomology de- partment at Connecticut Agricultural college, Storrs.
 When the temperature rises and the wood thaws out these cracks will dis appear, except for more or less in conspicuous line where the crack was.

Small Hen Houses Best.

The size of the hen house should be governed by the size of the flock. From 70 to SO seems to be about as many birds as are safe to keep to- gether. With flocks of this size from four 10 five square feet of floor space should be allowed to each bird. This will suffice in most cases where care rul attention is given to cleanliness and ventilation. If the fowls are kept in smaller flocks more floor space to a bird will be needed.

RAPE FORAGE CROP
 VALUABLE FOR SWINE

Dwarf Essex rape is one of the best forage crops for swine that can be pastured the same season it is seeded, according to W. L. Robinson of the Ohio Experiment station.
 Rape may be seeded as early in the spring as the ground can be put in condition. If pasture is desired throughout the season it is a good plan to have two plots and pasture them alternately. When seeded on fertile ground, rape is usually ready for hog forage from six to eight weeks after sowing.
