The variety OF American imple-
ments which the agriculturists OF
the world now demand has also
greatly increased. In 1900 the ex-
port classification of our govern
ment only named "plows and cult
vators," mowers and reapers," and
a small group of "all other agri-
cultural implements" amounting to
less than 2A million dollars. Now
the export group of agricultural
machinery and implements includes
no less than 80 different types of
machines and implements for the
use of the devotee of agriculture.
Dairy machinery went to IS differ
ent countries in 1922, hand garden
plows to 81 countries, farm tractors
to 20, and American cotton gins to
"a countries and colonies.
The United States is by far the
worlds largest producer of agri-
cultural implements. The census
of 1920 showed the capital invested
in this industry at 1857 100000, as
against $62,000,000 in 1880. and puts

The enlargement of world food
production accompanying the in

by the fact that the world wheat
crop has advanced from 21z billion
bushels, speaking in very round

recent years; corn from 2H billion
bushels to over 4 billion; potatoes
from 41/3 billion bushels in 1900

TO ship large quantities of them at

Few, indeed, are the things
about the handling of chickens that
Mr.. Hooking does not understand.
He 'states that he exploded long
ago the ieda that a hen can lay
but one egg a day. This, he ad.
nits. is the limit for most of them,
but he has singled out breeding
stock which present him with two
eggs now and then. These birds
are confined in quarters that keep
out all intruders. Consequently,
he is willing to take oath on stack
of Bibles that the two egg-a-day
hen is no myth. Mr.. Hooking was
for years the champion chicken
dresser of the world" and his ap-
pearance at poultry shows all over
the country was an annual occur

with combined acreage in excess of
$4,000 acres have already signed

the benefits which are expected from
the cooperative marketing OF the
crop.
Announcement has been made
that the association has started an
organized fight against the possible
spread of anthranose during the
growing season. A series of meet
ings have been held in practically
every county in the melon belt and
large groups of farmers have agreed
to carry cut in detail the instruc-

WISCONSIN, GROWER
RAISES MANY FOWLS.
Modern Methods Are Employ
ed To Increase Egg Produc-

BURLINGTON, Wis, April H.
C. w. Hocking, who lives near here,
operates the largest poultry farm in
the entire state. 1t is Of some in
terest to know that Mr.. Hooking re-
CARDS himself as having been pushed
into the poultry business-just bit,
perhaps, against his will. For many
years he had operated summer
hotel and his chicken dinners. proved
SO popular that the surrounding
countryside was unable to meet the
demands of Mr.. Hooking for poultry.
This fact turned his attention to the
raising of enough fowls to keep
pace with the growing flood Of
hungry folks which descended upon
him each weekend. As the flood
continued to rise his operations ex-
tended. The basement CT his hotel
now houses a 40,O00-egg incubator,
and it is filled three times each
spring to meet the demands for
chickens.
Mr.. Hooking culls his young birds
carefully, and some 5000 Of them
survive the summer to be carried
through the winter in his extensive
laying house. This structure is di-
vided into ten sections, and he aims
to carry about 800 fowls in each
section: Nothing but white leghorns
are raised. For the most part the
eggs are shipped to high class
trade consisting of hotels, dining
car companies, and other users of
large quantities.
Mr. Hooking was one of the pio-
neers in the use of electric lights in
his laying houses, For long periods
he operated his lights by different
meth9ds. Careful records were kept
as tG results. His experiments CON
WINGED him that the best method is
to pnrnise the fowls to go to roost
