PHOPEH CARE OF ir.'CUZA Wit ! Eggs Should Ee Even-Shaped and MeIf Turned Daily. (Prepared by the United States Departmerit of Agriculture.) Poultry raisers place great dependence upon the early-hatched chicken oa account of its greater vitality, making a more vigorous growth, escaping the ravages of disease and insects, developing into early maturity, and the pullets from this hatch becoming profitable layers In the early winter season following. As a rule It is also true that eggs produced in the early part of the season will show a higher percentage ' f v , - i. s o II I I H i 1 A Good Incubator Hatch. of fertility than those produced later In the season. Care should be taken in saving eggs for the incubator. Select even-shape, medium-sized eggs, and keep them in a cool place. Better results will be secured if these eggs are turned carefully every day. Do not keep them over ten days or twTo weeks before putting them in the incubator. Before setting up the incubator give It a thorough cleaning inside and out. Remove all the trays and scrub them with hot soapsuds. After they have dried brush the entire inside of the incubator and all the trays with wood alcohol. Clean out all the lamp flues to see that there are no cobwebs or carbon deposit; also, that these spaces have not been used for mice nests in the winter time. Clean the oil chamber of the lamp with hot soapsuds and remove the old wick from the burner and boil the burner in a soda solution for 15 or 20 minutes. Run the incubator for 4S hours to get the thermostat properly adjusted. After running the incubator five days, test t"ie eggs and remove those that are infertile. Now is a good time also to clean the brooder. Give it a thorough coating with some good disinfectant, fix a clean, dry place for the young chicks when they are hatched, and, if possible, keep them removed from the main flock until they are half grown. HIGHER PRICES FOR CAPONS Fowls Grow Larger Than Cockerels, Are Easily Handled and Flesh Is of Better Quality. The principal advantages of caponj iidng are that the capons grow larger j than cockerels, make more economical j growth, are more easily handled, sell I for higher prices, and are more eco nomical for the consumer on account of less waste in dressing and cooking. In addition the flesh is of better quality. 1 statement from the Ohio College of Agriculture says: "Do not sell latehatched cockerels as broilers unless of tho Leghorn or other light-weight htvods. Caponize them and market after the holidays at weights of sis to ten pounds each. Increase the supply of poultry meat and make a larger profit on the chickens you raise." F T7TV TTVTTta" v 0. i n I y, i r c - v The brooder should not be overcrowded with chicks. The best food for young ducklings Is stale bread and skimmed sweet milk. Overfeeding the young chicks Is like ly to be indulged in by many, especially the beginners. Feed chicks lightly until they are eight or ten weeks cf age. After that they can be forced. Good healthy chicks can be raised by properly taking care of the hen and chicks or of the brooder. It is in warm weather that lice and mites thrive on the chickens; they will cause little chickens to die. At the present prices of fertilizer it pays every farmer and poultryman to save the poultry manure. . Always have yonr coops and brooders perfectly dry. A good litter for chicks to scratch In Is cut clover or alfalfa or the chaff from the bara floor. If the ohlcks are kept free of vermin ud are Tjept outof the rain and dew, they will row fast and will be but llltle trouble as the weather will b9 oarm most cf tha time.

I u o, uiku Uui C'l f v-i j- r f r a r , , t 1 '. t cf Farm Laborers. til i ki-im hi & Approximately One Hour an Acre Less of Man Labor Is Necessary to Operate Plow Drawn by Three Horses Than by Two. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Many farmers ore solving the labor problem by using larger implements and more horses. Such practices have enabled sugar-beet growers greatly to reduce their expenses for man labor and increase their operations. The normal man labor required in growing sugar beets will vary from SO to 1C5 hours or more an acre. , Under average conditions, where more horses and larger implements are used, the man labor on machine operations will bo reduced approximately 25 per cent. A direct comparison of plowing crews in Michigan and Ohio, where conditions under which the work is done are uniform, shows that approximately one hour an acre less of man labor is necessary to operate a plowdrawn by three horses than by two. With the larger outfit, as also when a tractor is used, a float or plank can be attached to thu plow, and thus the breaking of a cloddy surface can be done with little additional effort or cost. In disking in the Michigan and Ohio districts it was found that a four-horse outfit saves one-quarter of an hour of man labor an hour over the two-horse equipment. Saving in Sugar Beets. Cultivation of sugar beets furnishes a striking contrast in crew efficiency. In Michigan and Ohio it was found that 1.9 man-hours an acre were required to cultivate once over with a one-row implement, l.G man-hours with a two-row cultivator, and only .0 of a man-hour for a four-row cultivator a distinct saving in man labor by using the four-row machine. As many fields require attention before it is possible for the grower to get the work accomplished, any saving of labor and time is an advantage to the growing crops and affords more. man labor for crops competing with the sugar beet in the distribution of labor. Under average conditions a crew of one man and two horses working continuously will lift approximately 12 acres of beets a day. A crew of one man and four horses will probably increase this area to two acres, or possibly acres a day under favorable conditions. The performance of the lifting implement can be improved still further with the addition of more horse power. If, by using an extra horse on the lifter, this work can be performed in a shorter period, more time will be available for hauling the beets to the factory or loading station. Harvesters Mean Further Economy. An appreciable saving in farm labor avIH undoubtedly be accomplished through the development of mechanical harvesters. The hand labor on sugar beets, comprising such operations as blocking, thinning, hoeing, pulling, topping and loading, constitutes from 52 to 75 per cent of the total man labor required in growing the crop. The pulling, topping andloading, "when combined, make up 21 to 42 per cent of the work. Estimates made by several growers show a variation of 21 to "0 hours in the labor require ment for the hand work in harvesting. It is very apparent, says the bulletin, that this amount can be reduced to a few hours an acre with the introduction of the mechanical harvester. SOY BEAN IMPORTANT CROP Has High Protein Value and May Be Fed to Advantage With Less Nitrogenous Crops. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The soy bean has an important place among soiling crops. Having a high protein value, the crop may be fed to good advantage with less nitrogenous crops, such as corn, sorghum, suA Field ef Soy Beans. dan grass, and millet- The great variation in the time of maturity of the different varieties of soy beans or the planting cf the same variety at different dates win make it possible to have a succession of green forage throughout the greater part of the Furmner and fall. When the crop has become well established it grows well during drought and cften succeeds &Lc? ctlr eropss fall.

i UUiiU 1 liUUUli iUi 5 1 " Object Is to Promote Early Growth and Development Methods Will Vary to fdee't Requirements cf Planting Prevent Weeds From Robbing Soil cf Moisture and Fertility. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Approximately 100000,000 acres of corn in the United States are annually given two or more cultivations. Cultivation is considered essential in tho corn production. The general purpose of cultivation Is to promote the early j growtn ana later development or tne corn plant. The usual type of cultivation is sometimes modified to meet special conditions, such as retarding the vegetative growth of the plant by cutting the corn roots in early cultivation. The kind of cultivation will also vary to some extent to meet the requirements of different methods of planting. Some of the most successful corn growers begin their cultivation before they plant their crop. They claim that a deep cultivation of the soil at this time is of as much value as later cultivations. It causes the soil to warm more quickly, destroys early weed growth, and incorporates the vegetable matter more thoroughly into the soil. Corn is cultivated to prevent weeds from robbing the corn of soil moisture and fertility, to put the surface in the best condition to absorb rainfall, to warm the soil by drying Its surface quickly, and to save moisture by checking the capillary rise to the soil surface. Corn should be cultivated often enough to keep down the weeds and to maintain a loose soil mulch until the crop has attained its growth. To satisfy this end a greater number of cultivations will be necessary when rains at intervals of a week or so cause the surface soil to run together and crust. This crust must he broken and ' V v , - Cultivation Is Essential in the Produc tion of Corn. the soil mulch restored or excessiv run-off and evaporation will soon rob the crop of much-needed moisture. Promptness in restoring the soil mulch after each rain is of great importance. This work can be rapidly and less expensively performed by use of double cultivators widened, and by driving astride each alternate row, as by this practice the mulch Is restored in half the time necessary to drive astride of every row. Corn should not be cultivated so long as the soil mulch is in good condition and free of weeds. Cora should not be cultivated when the soil turns up in clods, breaking the corn roots and permitting the soil to dry out to a greater depth than it would if not cultivated. HAY CROPS FOR LIVE STOCK Many Farmers Unmindful cf Necessity cf Providing for Fall and Winter Feeding. (Prepared by tlie Unitel States Department of ASTicuIture.) The high price of rough feed emphasizes the necessity of all farmers planting a sufficient acreage of summer forage crops to enable them to provide themselves with hay and other roughages for their live stock during the coming year. With the abundance of pasture available in the springtime farmers oftentimes are unmindful of the necessity of providing for that period during the fall when pasture will be dry, or during the winter when there will be no feed available. The county agi.'i should be consulted with reference to the? availability of seed. Where outside purchases have to be made the order should be placed at once, so that the seed may be on hand to sow when the soil is in good condition and the season Is not too far advancdAraong the several summer hay crops for the Southwest sorghum or Sudan grass are undoubtedly in most favor. In the southeastern territory sorghum and cowpeas, planted any time before the first of July, will mature a great abundance of good quality rough feed for mules or cattle. The county agents should be consulted with reference1 to befit crops for locai conditions, method cf planting and quantity of seed per acre to t.; u m' in different localities.

"When the calf !s !n It.? second week; It should begin to receive grain, and when one month old it should eat about half a pound a day. After thi time the quantity cf grain may be gradually Increased, feeding all that tho calf will eat until three pounds a day Is reached, probably during the third month. Grain fed to supplement separated milk should never be mixed with the milk. It Is questionable whether the preparation of grain In any way, such as soakimr or boiling. Is advisable under most circumstances. Wheat bran Is eaten readily by young calves. Corn has an excellent physiological effect and to a great extent may take the place of fat removed from skim or separated milk. Experiments tend to show that corn fed to calves should be cracked rather than finely ground. Ground oats are good in grain mixtures when available, but in many cases cost much more per unit of feed than corn and bran. The following grain mixtures are re-commended by dairy specialists of the United States department of nc;r I culture: 1. Three parts cracked corn and one part wheat bran. 2.. Three parts cracked corn, one part wheat bran and one part ground oats. S. Three parts cracked corn, ona part wheat bran, one part ground oat. and one part linseed meal. 4.

At first hay should be furnished only a handful at a time, and be placed so that it cannot be soiled. For the first six months, at least, the calf should receive all the roughage of good quality that it will eat up clean. When the calf has access to good pasture during the first six months it need not receive other roughage. It is not advisable, however, to have the calf under two months of age on pasture in the early spring. GOOD BLOOD ASSISTED DAIRY Good Dairy Bull, Purchased as Calf for $100, Put at Head of Herd Is Good Investment. ("Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A good dairy tull, purchased by a Montana county f.n.rm bureau member, cost $100 as a calf; it was put at the head of a herd of ten cows, the average annual production of which was 4,S0O pounds of milk and 2G0 pounds of butterfat. The daughters of the bull have now replaced the old cows in the herd and exceed the production of their dams by an average of 102 pounds butterfat and 1,828 pounds of milk per year. This Improvement nets $,"00 profit each year without taking into account the difference in value of the calves. A cowshould "carry on" for at least sis years, which would mean $LS0O additional profit from the ten cows, because of the $100 Invested In the bull calf. Tt was a bully good Investment, says the farmer.
