April Farm Notes

The past months of freezing, thaw-
ing, showing and raining have filled
up many springs and sources OF live
stock water supply. A few hours
can be most prOfitably spent In
cleaning them out
A very practical test Of profitable
hens is to feel of their crops at night.
1t is safe to say that those with only
partially filed crops are not paying
their way, for the paying hens eat
the most.
The best time to kill weeds is when
they first show through the ground.
1t is easier to kill a thousand then
than one big tough fellow. And they
all soon get to be big tough ones II not
tended to early.
One very valuable garden product
often overlooked is tame greens. \
few square feet will Yield many pot
fuls Of food rich in iron. and at
time when green food is most well
come. kale. spinach and turnips
are fine for this.
With the first warm days OF April.
lice and mites begin to multiply rap
idly. Hen houses can be kept wholly
free of them by painting roosts md
walls with kerosene occa sionally
Also, by painting the under sides Of
the roosts with common coal tar. mites
can be kept away from the hens
The problems of the farmer were
vital in the olden days as they are
now. Solomon was greatly con-
cerned with them. and gave some
good advice: "The sluggard will not
pillow by reason of the cold: therefore.
shall he beg in harvest and have
nothing. Prov. Nv 90,
If you have neglected to get a new
cockerel. then order a setting or Cwo
Of high grade eggs now. and raise
your own cockerels for news blood
next year. Many wish for fpffNe
breds, but the Expense seems heavy.
But fine start can he made at ex-
tremely little cost In this way.
Perhaps in no other farm crop Is
there as little excuse for planting
poor seed as in corn. II takes only
about peck TO the acre. and the
best Of seed can be planted with
little expense. When one can secure
the results of another mans life ef-
fort in breeding and selecting. the
small cost comes back many times
the very first year.
Pay day comes pretty often for the
man who works for the dcvil.-Farm
