A Full Grown White Grub.

out the regions mentioned neither corn
nor potatoes should be planted on such
land, because these crops will almost
surely be severely injured if this be
done. Ground that was in pure clover
or even in corn last year is likely to
be quite safe for planting to corn this
year, because the beetles which are
the parents of the white grubs do not
usually lay their eggs in such crops.
A good rotation Of crops to escape
white grub injury is as follows: First
year, oats Or barley; second year,
clover; third year, corn. Timothy or
other grasses harbor white grubs from
year to year, and therefore, in case
they are grown, the land producing
them should not be planted to corn,
at least the first year after it is
broken from the sod.
Farmers Bulletin $40 contains full
information on white grubs, and may
be obtained free on application to the
United States Department of Agricul
ture.

ENRICH SOIL BY TRENCRING
English Gardeners Take Great Pains
in Preparing Land-Heavy
Yields Are Secured.

The home gardeners of England take
great pains in preparing their soil,
even going to the extent Of throwing
the surface soil to one side and then
spading manure into the subsoil to a
depth Of ii to 1G inches After the SUBJ
soil is so treated the surface soil is re-
placed and great quantities Of rotted
manure mixed with it. This process
is known as "trenching." 1t results in
heavy yields Of vegetables and enables
the crops to withstand drought Pc
riod much better than where the soil
is not broken so deeply. Details Of the
preparation of garden soils are dis
cussed in bulletins Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
which are free on request.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Chicken hens and incubators can be
and often are used successfully for
Matching turkey eggs, but the surest
Agriculture poultry specialists say, is
to use the turkey hen and give her
proper management. Turkey hens are
close sitters and will cover, so there
will be no danger of chilling, from Is
to 1S eggs, depending on the size of
the hen.
Nests for setting turkey and chick
en- hens are best made on the ground
by following out little earth, so that
the center is deep enough to keep the
eggs from rolling out of the nest. A
thin covering of clean straw or hay
can then be used to prevent the eggs
from being directly on the ground
and large, roomy coop should be
placed over the nest to keep the hen
from being disturbed. When q num-
ber of hens are to be set. long row
of nests can easily be made on the
ground, separating them with board
partitions. If this is done care must
be taken to see that when the hens
come off the nests each returns to the
right one instead of crowding into a
nest with another hen and leaving
some of the eggs to become chilled.
With only few hens it is better to
set them some distance apart, as they
will then require less attention.
When a Hens In Earnest.
When hen becomes broody and
shows that she is earnest by remain
ing on her nest for two or three
nights, she may safely be trusted with
the eggs, provided she is allowed to
sit in that nest. If she is to be set in
another nest, as is usually the case,
then she should be removed to the
new nest, preferably after dark, given
few nest eggs, and shut in to pre-.
vent her from returning to the old
one. If she sits quietly on the nest
eggs she should be taken off on the
evening of the following day, and the
eggs to be incubated placed in the
nest. On being freed, she probably
will return to her old nest; If so sha

APPLYING WATER TO GARDEN
OF Much Importance That Work
Should Be Done Without Injury to
Any of Various Plants.

In applying water to garden crops it
is important that the work should be
done thoroughly without injury to the
plants. An occasional thorough water
ing, with at least one good cultivation
after each watering, will give better re-
suits than more frequent sprinkling Of
the surface. Home gardeners have in
many instances fitted up simple sys-
TENS for irrigating their gardens that
have proved a great help in carrying
the crops over dry periods.
For information on watering and
caring for home gardens, write to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture for bulletins on the subject. They

FEEDING BARLEY TO HORSES

"A test to compare the relative

in the test, two receiving lightweight

tive gains or losses in weights of the
mares fed on barley and those fed
on oats were practically the same, and
there was no Indication that either
feed possessed outstanding merit over

The, weights of the mares fed on
light barley remained more constant
than the weights of the mares fed on

fined early in the morning, when the
grass is wet. Put hook or clasp on

The mother hen should be confined
to the brood coop until the chicks are
weaned. This gives the little chicks
a better start in life and prevents loss
from storms and hawks.
Clean Brood Coop Weekly.
Clean the brood coop at least once
a week, and keep it free from mites.
If mites are found in the coop, 1t

lagos in Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Maryland, from which its spread
is restricted by state quarantine laws.
The disease attacks only the stems and
roots of the tomato plant, causing
small warts; it probably does not re-
duce the yield of fruit
The importance Of the discovery Of
the susceptibility of tomatoes to pota-
to wart lies in the fact that affected to-
mato plants will serve to carry the dis
case over from year to year in the alb
sence of potatoes, and to introduce it
into new localities through the trans
planting of tomato seedlings grown in
infested soil. 1t is not yet known def
nitely whether all varieties of tomatoes
are susceptible to the wart disease, bul
it is feared that such may be the case.
Other plants belonging to the potato
family are suspected of being suscepti-
Bile to wart, and some Of these have
been tested, but With inconclusive re
suits. These tests will be repeated.

Turkey hens do not ordinarily come
off for feed and water more than once
every two or three days, but when
confined they should have chance to
come off every day. Occasionally
turkey hen does not come off at all,
and in such case she should be taken
Off once day, as otherwise she will
die on the nest.
On coming off her nest the first
thing turkey hen does is to stretch
her wings, step gingerly for few
steps, and then she often takes
running start and flies for short dis
tance. Exercise of this sort helps
greatly to keep a sitting hen in good
condition, and for this reason it is not
we'll to confine her to small space.
A dust bath is greatly enjoyed by sit
ting hens, and helps to keep them
free from vermin. Whole corn is a
good feed, and fresh water and grit
should always be accessible.
Lice are a great. annoyance to sit
ting hens, and are one of the worst
enemies of young poults. To prevent
their getting 3 start, the hen should
be busted thoroughly with sodium
f1uoride or some good lice powder be-
fore she is placed on the nest. The
nesting material should be kept clean.
and if the eggs become dirty they
should be washed with soft cloth
dipped in lukewarm water Just be-
fore the poults are to hatch, the old
| nesting material should be replaced
with clean straw.
Incubation Period.
The incubation period of turkey
eggs Is % days. The first egg is usual

twenty-seventh day, the first poult
hatched by the middle of that day,
and the hatch completed at the end
