PREPARING GROUND FOR OATS
Many Successful Farmers Have Proven
That 1t Pays Well to Disk Be-
fore Planting.

Experiment stations and many sue
cessful farmers have proven that 1t
pays to put the ground in good seed
bed condition before sowing oats. Disk
ing Of the stalk ground has proven bet
ter under most conditions than plow-
ing, as it provides a seed bed that is
better adapted to the requirements Of
the crop. AS for wheat, the seed bed
for oats should be firm underneath
with few inches of mellow surface
soil. This sort of a seed bed can be
produced by disking.

ESTIMATE FEED. COST
OF EGG PRODUCTION
Records Show About What
Amounts Are Used by Fowls.
Value of General-Purpose Breeds for
Market, or for Matching and
Breeding Makes Them
Most Desirable Birds.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Careful pOultrymen like to know
what it costs them to produce dozen
eggs, but it is not possible for anyone
to tell them. With certain informa-
ton obtained through experimental
feeding to start with, they must figure
it out for themselves. Since the feed
constitutes the principal cost, it is
possible to get some idea of the real
cost If the amount of grain used in
making dozen eggs is known. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has kept records that show about
what amounts are used by general
purpose fowls and Leghorns, and by
using the local price for grain in con-
nection with these figures the feed
cost Of a dozen eggs can be obtained
with fair accuracy.
The grain consumed to produce a
dozen eggs will vary great deal, de-
pending upon the skill of the poultry
man, but it is assumed that he knows
how to feed economically. The gen.
eral-purpose fowls and LeghOrns used
in this feeding work were kept on the
test while pullets and yearlings. AS
pullets the general-purpose fowls pro-
duced 1905 eggs year and 8S.1 as
yearlings. The Leghorns produced an
average of 1887 eggs as pullets and
124.9 as yearlings.
The general-purpose pullets ate in a
year an average of 81 pounds of feed
per dozen eggs produced. and the year.
lings ate go pounds. The Leghorn
pullets ate 4.S pounds and the year
lings So pounds. The general-purpose
pullets ate 10 pounds more feed in
producing a dozen eggs than the Leg
horn pullets, and the difference in
creases very rapidly with the age Of
the stock, the generai-purpose year
lings consuming Al pounds more feed
per dozen eggs than the Leghorn year
lings; therefore the Leghorn yearlings
produced eggs upon much less feed
than the general-purpose breeds.
The value of the general-purpose
breeds for market, or for Matching and
breeding, makes them usually the most
desirable breeds for the general
farmer and the backyard poultry rails
er, while the Leghorns are especially
adapted for the commercial egg farms,
say the poultrymen of the depart
ment.

In Times of Cold Weather Prepare for
Summer - Harvesting Ice in a
Northern State.
Farm" a farmers bulletin issued by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
Making an Ice Pond.
Suppose a farmer finds no suitable
lake or pond in his neighborhood. He
can create an artificial lake by divert
ing stream into an excavation. or by
building dam across low piece Of
ground. Some farmers have made
artificial lakes in their front yards, and
they have been pretty in summer as well
as useful in winter. One thing that
must not be forgotten is to keep these
lakes pure and clean. How to do that
is described in the bulletin.
But suppose farmer has no place
for lake, although cold weather pre-
walls in his part of the country for
several weeks at time. He can freeze
his ice in metal cans or special paper
bags
1.-THE cans may be made in any con-
venient size by local tinsmith," says
the bulletin, land should be of galva-
nized iron, reinforced at top and bot
tom with iron strips.
"The bottom is made smaller than
the top to make the removal of the ice
easier. The cans are placed near the
water supply, filled with water, and
left exposed to the weather. A shell
Of ice soon freezes around the inner
surface, and when the shell is from
1-2 to 2 inches thick, hot water is
poured over the outside of the can and
the shell removed. A hole is broken
through at the top Of the shell and
most Of the water inside is then
poured out. AS the freezing progresses
water is poured into the shell, little
at time, until solid block Of ice
IS produced. BY this method only a
few cans are required, which keeps the
cost low.
Advantage Of Bags.
"About the same method is en-
ployed when special paper bags are
used, although they do not last so
long as the cans. The advantage Of
the bags over the metal cans is mainly
in cheapness, for they are not so con-
venient to handle.
another method that can be used in
very cold sections of the United States
Is to run water into the ice house and
let a layer freeze. This is done by
first constructing a dam of snow
around the floor Of the house ten or
twelve inches from the walls in order
10 allow sawdust installations next to
the walls. The interior Of the house
is then flooded with a few inches of
water, which soon freezes, the pro-
cedure being repeated until the house
is filed with ice. 1t is then covered
with sawdust and closed up until ice
is needed. A great disadvantage Of
this method is that in order to remove
ice 1t must be cut or chopped out with
an ak. which results in uneven and ir-
regular pieces and considerable waste
of ice."

To make natural ice, one essential

cases there is plenty of the right kind
