KEEP THE LAYING HENS BUSY Fowls Need Exercise, and Activity and Proficiency Go Hand In Hand—Make Them Scratch. Every poultry writer In the land has cold his readers day in and day out I bat exercise is necessary for the well jeing and well doing of laying hens. There is good sense and sound reason in this advice. While all work and io play makes Jack a dull boy, no work and idleness makes a good hen i non-producing loafer. Fowls need plenty of exercise. When given their liberty they will wander for miles over the fields and hunt and dig for bugs and seeds and that is the time they lay the most eggs. The lazy hen Is lever the laying hen. Activity and proficiency go hand in hand. It is, however, a sore trial to the poultry keeper to keep his hens active in winter. The tendencies are entirely toward sluggishness upon the part of i the fowls. Inactivity brings its own penalties. No animal organism can maintain health and virility without exercise. Such is not in the line of creation’s manifest intent. Neither man nor the lower animals can expect a healthy digestion, normal liver or good general tone of the system without some hustling. The practical question arises, “What is the surest way to induce poultry to hustle and exercise?” We must not feed too heavily or make it too easy for the birds to get their food. They will not ( work unless obliged to, and in this particular are not unlike many human beings that we know. We must make them scratch for their living. One of the main points of the Philo system is to bury the wheat or oats in 1 the ground several inches deep and let the hens dig it up, either in a ( sprouted condition or otherwise. We must make them scratch in a foot of straw or leaves for their grain all winter. Also throw some large sized scraps among the litter. They ( will hunt and dig all day long for such delicacies and get.thc much-needed ex- . ercise at the same time. And this parts the vigor and health that pro- ' mote the egg production and vitality ' that gives us the greater amount of fertile eggs. Make them work for all . that they get; only feed mash feed, I table scraps and vegetables in the troughs; throw all the grain into a deep litter. GOOD COOP FOR FATTENING Can Be Made Any Size Desired With Slats Far Enough Apart to Allow Chickens to Eat and Drink. This fattening coop can be made any size desired. It has a slat front, with the slats far enough apart to allow the chickens to eat and drink out of the little troughs, writes D. D. Lawson in the Farm and Fireside. The floor is also made of slats, which makes the coop sanitary. The little I'HFattening Coop. troughs are made with lids, thus protecting the food and water from dirt and dust. The roof is sloping, to allow the water to run off of it in rainy weather. A box of gr.ivel or oyster- ! shell should be kept in the coop. This is an excellent way to fatten chickens. PoultdyNotE’S GZEEZZZZZD Do not neglect the laying hen’s exercise. The best partner on an egg farm is a good laying hen. Finely bred birds are often badly I bred egg producers. Judge not a hen by her beauty, but ' by the way she does her duty. You can keep breeding drakes as i long as seven or eight years. The largest ingredients In eggs are lime, nitrogen and phosphoric acid. I The goose, unlike the duck, does not j scatter her eggs wherever she hap- j pens to be The poultry man who grades up and not down, is the one that meets with progress. Improvement will never cease. No matter what sort of a floor one has tn the poultry bouse, the great problem is to keep it clean and free from filth. You may feed all the food your hens can possibly use, but if you are short of grit, the results will not be satisfactory. The best prices for breeding birds are obtained at the poultry shows. 1 Beginners generally get the fever about that time. In spite of the great reputation of the smaller breeds for egg produc tlon a Brahma hen is said to hold the record for yearly egg production. A neatly dressed fowl, even if it be small, will always sell more readily , than a large one with half of the feathers on, bruises here and there, etc. The common practice in poultry packing houses is to feed each lot ' seventeen days or lees. Most of ths milk-fed chickens are fed fourteen days.

PROBLEM OF TOO MdCH WORK It Must He Solved, Especially When New Methods Are Advocated—SowPart of Land to Some Grass. (By W. C. PALMER, North Dakota.) “Too much work” is a remark that j meets one on nearly every farm. The writer has often heard the same remark at Farmers’ Institutes. And i especially when new methods are ad i vocated. It is a real serious problem, i However, It must be faced and solved, too. As long as the land was new, I spreading over a large number of acres was in many cases profitable. That time has now passed as the results in half farming now too often result in crop failure or so many wild oats and weeds in the grain that it makes a man ashamed to take them to market. Half farming with such results simply wastes work. Some better method must be worked out. What is the man to do who has more land than he can work thoroughly? One solution is to sell a part of it. That, however, is not what most land holders want to do. Another solution is to sow- a part of the land to alfalfa, clover, or some grass as timothy, bromus or slender wheat grass. The returns from the land in hay will be fully as good as from that in grain. And the work will be much less. At the same time the land will be ; cleared from weeds and plant diseases and the humus content will be increased. i Tbe starting of the clover and al- ; salsa may need some special preparai tion, as manuring and sowing without a nurse crop, and introducing some of the germs that live on the nodules. ; Get a small piece started and that will , help you get the whole farm in condii tion. i Leave it in grass three to five years. Every year sow more grass and also j plow' up some sod. This new land , will be in fine condition to grow large , crops. I By this procedure the work on the t farm will be reduced and the returns I increased, and the land put in much I better shape than is possible in con- ■ tinuous grain grow'ing. CORNER POST MADE STRONG May Be Made From Small Tree by Following Directions Given Herewith—Will Not Pull Away. A satisfactory corner-post may be made from a small tree, as follows: The tree Is cut the size wished for the post (the tree forked, of course). The fork is cut a foot shorter than the 4- —- j _________ _ — —— “ Z’ Z’ t . A Substantial Post. ■ body. The post is put in the ground and the fork turned on the inside cor ner with a rock placed under the prong. It is impossible for a post made in this way to pull away. Garden an d Farm Notes There is no food value lost by en- I siloing corn. Never apply paint or any other coatIng to green or unseasoned lumber. A little paint goes a long ways to- | ward making a home out of a group of | buildings. If your cabbages do not seem to be i keeping well, sprinkle over them a ! supply of water. The corn shock with its butts frozen I into the ground sharpens one’s lan- | guage wonderfully. Next spring select high-grade seed, , if you did not have large, solid heads 1 of cabbage this year. I Work that is systematized whether i it is on the farm or in the office al- ; ways proves the most profitable. Lime, ashes, old manures, leaves, ' wastes from tho kitchen, all go tu make an excellent compost heap. The man who is opening his first i;llu this year Is going to experience a lot of satisfaction in using that feed If you have any vegetables that you will not use for family supply, now is the time to get in touch with buyers. Celery is sturdy. It can winter some heavy frosts, but it should always be protected enough to keep it J from freezing. Are you fond of rhubarb pie? If so, i why not see to it next year that you i have fresh rhubarb during the winter i instead of the canned vegetable? We are growing so humane these days that we are making efforts to keep all drafts of cold air out of all I barns, even where the sheep are kept. Alfalfa hay at >l2 per ton offers as cheap a source of protein as oilmeal at S3O, and besides the alfalfa bay furnishes more of other feeding mai terlals. Cabbage, carrots and other vegeta- 1 bles will keep well ia the house cei- ' lar, where they are convenient, if well packed in sand in lanr» I ->xea and tho windows left open.
