EGGS FROM BACK YARD FLOCK
Owner Should Be Satisfied With Ne
Less Than Ten Dozen Eggs Per
Hen, Say Experts.

prepared by the Shited States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
The average novice can reasonably
expect to get an average Of at least
ten dozen eggs per hen year from his
small flock In the back yard, say poul-
try specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. On the basis
of two hens to each member Of the
family this will give 20 dozen eggs q
year to each person, which amount Is
about half way between the general
average of farm and city consumption.
No backyard poultry keeper should be
satisfied with less than this. He should
try however, to get as much moreN as
possible.
To provide an egg a day for each
person two hens would have to lay
183 eggs each year. This is by no
means an impossible average for small
~focks. 1t is perhaps not too much to

WHY cULLlNG is PROFITABLE
Unculied Flock Of ee2 Hens Laid 1875
Eggs in Week and $500 With
79 Taken Out.

An unculled flock of 992 hens laid
1915 eggs in the week before being
culled. Seventy-nine weak layers were
cast out. The culled flock of 913 came
right back the next week with a. rec
ord of $500 eggs, while the 70 culls,
living under precisely similar condi-
lions, and doing their very best, were
laying only IS eggs. The market
value of the eggs layed by the culls
was around $3.50. The cost of feed
alone for them at a cent~a day for
each hen was 1888 for the week. Fig
ures like these, say the poultry special
lists at the university farm, show the
Importance Of keeping only the best
layers. Lessons driven home in the

SEALING OF SlLO IMPORTANT
Satisfactory Plan 10 to Husk Ears
From Last Few Loads, Tramp
and MoiSten Well.

Proper sealing of the silo is essen
tial in reducing the amount Of waste
silage. An easy and satisfactory meth
cd is to husk the ears from the last
three or four loads of corn that are
to go into the silo, and run only the
stalks and leaves through the cutter.
When these last loads are tramped
and soaked with 20 to 80 barrels of
water, the top will be well sealed and
there will be only thin layer of
waste. Moreover, there will be no ear
corn in this waste, because 1t was
husked out and made available for
other purposes.

very small number of seeds, If any.
Both in spring and in fall the leaves
are injured by the least touch of frost,
and heavy frost is always fatal. The
cowpea withstands moderate shade
sufficiently we'll to be valuable jim
orchards. In heavy shade the plants
are usually much attacked by mildew.
The cowpea succeeds on practically
all types of soil. 1t does apparently
quite as we'll on sandy soils as on
heavy clays, but will do better than
clover or alfalfa ON thin soils or soils
that are poor in lime. No other
1egume can be grown so successfully
and on such variety Of soils under
adverse conditions as the cowpea. A
very rich soil is not conducive to the
best results with this crop. On such
a soil an abundant vine growth Is
produced, while the yield OF grain is
small. Poor soils will produce little
growth of vine, but will generally
yield a good proportion of seed.- Clay
soils will not produce a heavy yield
the first year, but the crop will sue
coed much better the second season.
It may be said that the cowpea will
do best on good corn land, but will
thrive on all types Of soil that are
well drained, properly inoculated, and
moderately rich.

rial on Soil.

Lime should always be applied to
the surface Of the soil and narrowed
in. This may be done in the fall, win
ter or spring, although many recon-
mend that It be applied in the fall.
When it is put on the land, however,
is not so important as how it is done.
1t should never be plowed under be-
cause it is carried downward In the
soil very rapidly, much Of it is wasted
and it is, therefore, less effective in
neutralizing the acidity. Even dis
tribution is, OF course, desirable ana
for this reason lime spreader should
be used instead Of attempting to dis
tribute it by hand.

GEESE ARE QUITE PECULIAR
Different From Other Fowls as They
Must BE Mated Previous to
Breeding Season.

Geese are peculiar animals. They
ought to be mated several months
prior to the breeding season to obtain
the best results; therefore breeding
stock should be bought in the fall, and
all changes in matings made then.
Matings are not changed from year
to year unless results are unsatisfac-
tory. And this is the peculiar feature
Of IT. If the matings are changed. 1t
Is necessary, usually, to keep the previ-
ously mated geese so far apart they
