enough ventilation should be allowed
SO that the hen and chicks will have
plenty of fresh air.
The hen should be confind in the
coop until the chicks are weaned,
while the chicks are allowed free
range after they are a few days
old. Where hens are allowed free
range and have to forage for feed for
themselves and chicks, they often
take the latter through wet grass,
where they may become chilled and
die. Most of the feed the chicks get
by foraging goes to keep up the heat
of the body. whereas feed eaten by
those that are with the hen that is
confined produces more rapid growth,
as the chicks do not have so much
exercise.
In most broods there are one or two
chicks that are weaker than the
others, and If the hen is allowed free
range the weaker ones often get be-
hind and out of hearing of the moth
er's cluck and call In most cases
this results in the loss and death Of
these chicks, due to becoming chilled.
If the hen is confined, the weaklings
can always find shelter and heat un-
der her, and after few days may
develop into strong, healthy chicks.
The loss in young chicks due to al
lowing the hen free range is un-
doubtedly large, say poultry special
lists in the United States Department
of Agriculture. Chicks frequently have
to be caught and put into their coops

are likewise instrumental in carrying
this disease. As indicated by the name.
its principal manifestation is on t.e
roots of plants in the form of swell
lings or knots. Severe infestatiOn will
result in the yelIowing and dwarfing
and often the death of the plant.
Willis constitute another group of
diseases that may be transmitted to
new soil by means of diseased plants.
They are manifested by a whiting Of
the whole plant. These, and the ones
referred to above, may be and ought
to be kept out of new land. The way
to do it is to set out only clean plants.
The way to keep the plants clean is
to sterlize the seed beds. If steam
pressure is available. the inverted-pan
method described in Farmers Bulletin
996 is best. Such steam pressure
may often be had in the greenhouse
from the boiler used for heating. For
outside seed beds any kind of a steam

the daytime is at least equal to that
produced at night the specialists find
that one average hen produces about
go pounds of manure in a year. How
ever. only the night droppings are
available for use, as the day droppings
are widely scattered over the yards
and ranges. The night droppings from
1000 hens would be worth about $3.50
a year. AS hen manure, as. it usually
is cared for, contains only about one
half its original value, the loss through
this form of neglect must be very
large for the entire country.
The town or city backyard-poultry-
man has two real incentives to induce
the saving of his hen manure. In the
first place his poultry house should be
Kept clean if his fowls are to be
healthy, and, in the second place, the
manure may be used Immediately DUR
ing a large part of the year in the
orchard, or around berry bushes. How
ever, if this immediate use is resorted
to the manure should be applied some
what sparingly, 1t is from two to
three times richer in phosphoric acid
than the ordinary farm manures. This,
of course, is due to the kinds of feeds
used, and also to the fact that liquid
and solid matter are together.
1t can be handled most satisfactorily
If mixed with loaml to remove stick
mess in the summer. In the winter it
should be mixed with fair proper
ton Of loan, sawdust, or coal ashes,
sifted dried earth, land plaster, or
gypsum. Wood ashes and lime should
never be used as they set free the
nitrogen, which must be avoided.
Keep In Dry Place.
To put manure on the ground in the
winter would mean to lose one-half or
more Of its value. The better plan is to
store it in barrels or boxes until time
to use on growing crop. When stored
this way the container should have
several large holes bored in it to admit
air. Some plants having several thou
sand fowls have large bins of concrete
for saving this manure. Untreated, a
large part of the nitrogen escapes into
the air as ammonia gas.
The Maine experiment station
recommends using with every 80
pounds of poultry manure 10 pounds
of sawdust, 16 pounds Of acid phos-
phate, and pounds of kainit. The
acid phosphate and the kainit prevent
the loss of nitrogen, and the sawdust
absorbs the excess moisture. If saw
dust is not obtainable, dried earth in
about the same proportion may be
substituted After being treated in
this way the manure should be put
in a sheltered place until used. If the
materials are kept handy the business
of mixing soon becomes a routine
task.

ROOF ON POULTRY BUILDINGS
Decided Advantage to UnroiI Prepared

When putting prepared roofing on
poultry houses, it is decided advan-
tage to unroll the roofing and to let in
light and sunshine for a few hours.
The roofing expands from the warm

the roof. The inside Of the roll is
cooler than the outside air, and 50 If

fers that had grown upon the land as

ClubroOt is not manifested in the
top in early stages of development, but
may always be seen on the roots If it
is present at the time the plants are
taken from the seed bed. An abnor-

is an indication of the presence of this
disease. In its later stages the swell

shown in the illustration and will in

GET CUSTOMERS FOR
PARCEL POST TRADE
Write to Relatives and ACquaint-
ances in Cities.
Many People Will Not Order Farm
Produce From Strangers Because
They Do Not Know of Con-
ditions of Production.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
For producers who wish to market by
parcel post the most satisfactory way
of finding customers is to write TO
friends, relatives, or acquaintances in
cities, seeking their trade, say special
lists of the bureau of markets. United
States Department of Agriculture.
Purchasers, on the other hand, often
can locate reliable producers by cor
respondence with friends, relatives, or
acquaintances in the country. More
than IS per cent of the produce being
marketed by parcel post in a number
of cities in which investigations have
been made is sen: by persons who
obtain their customers in this way.
Making business contact is less diff
cult between friends because there is
an absence of the suspicion and dis
trust that sometimes is found between
strangers. Many persons will not
order farm produce from strangers
because they do not know the condi-
tions under which the articles are
produced, 1t is said.
Although ways of obtaining custom
ers are numerous, no method is so
promising as that of working up
trade with or through friends This
method Of establishing business rea-
tionship is especially recommended for
the general farmer who has a limited
amount Of produce. Those who wish
to market a great deal of produce by
parcel post may find it necessary to
obtain customers by personally solicit
ing strangers or through advertising
in newspapers and by other public
means. Another method is to write
to friends in the city. asking for
list of acquaintances who would proba-
bly, be interested in receiving table
supplies by parcel post.

is becoming more wide spread every
year. This distribution is due largely
to its transmission by diseased plants.

il was discovered that the potatoes
