From the time heifers are six months old until they are two years old they should not be pampered, but gtould be grown under re‘snna.ble ittons.

When to Breed. - Masly breeding decreases the size at matority. 1f a man ls working for sise in his stock (and I thiak within certain limits size is very essential) he will do well to breed his heifers that they may drop their first calv at the ase of from thirty to Iurty- six months .During the six months previous to calving feed the heifer liberally. Considerable fat on her body at freshening will do no ill. In- flammation and cake in a heifer's ud- _ des seldom cause seriors trouble, s that free feeding will not be injurious. When the heifer has ~straightened out_ after calving feed her for fullest milk production. Remember, food, that she is still growing and that she will require more liberal feeding than the mature cow giving the same amount of milk. She should not be allowed to dry off under ten months, and T thimk it well to milk her for twelve mbonths during this first lac- M.s I'olllry Regulator 1.00: 25 1b. pail $2.50 .‘:"uf'?»‘”i‘,m Makes ‘oo gt a5 e ibasiotes: iniet on Pratts, R, -rl-uyl-rk Get Pratte i60 Page Poultry For sale by J.

With the coming of spring, when fowls sperd more time out of doors, the poultryman should’don his over- | alls ana Jumper and set things briskly to rights. here are the houses to ‘clean out, * d.ilinloct and whitewash; fences to lodok over and poseibly mend, vards 10 rnke up, spade and sow to brooders and b coops to paint and clean and houses to get in shape. The poultry house should be done thoroughly., = Clean out -.u m.ur and sand on the floor, take out the mnest boxes (which should never be at- tached to the wall), burn all nesting material and then whitewash with ‘well slaked lime; to which has added some good disinfectant or car= bolic .&" in the proportion of one and one-half fluid ounces to one gallon of whitewash, and the easiest way to apply this is teo use a small, com- pressed air sprayer, which comes for the purpose. Go over the entire house with a broom and whitewash it, mak- ing sure the whitewash gets into every crack and corner. After the house has dried out put in four or five inch- es of sand or dry earth on the floor and over it six inches of litter. A Resetting the Fences. The fence may need resetting, as the frost often heaves the posts out of plumb. If new posts are needed dip the butts in some creosote prep= aration in order to preserve them, and do not waste time and money on cheap wire, for it soon rusts and is always hard to Kkeep in shape. If heavy woven wire is used the corner the line posts and have crosspieces made of 2 by 6 inch material nailed and gatepfls‘ss should be heavier than to the butts] one six inches from the end and the other on the side two feet from the butt end, to rve as anchors and -revent lossen— [ Of course the double yard system is the best for yarded fowls—that is, each pen has the run of a front and back yard, and while they are using one amerop of oats or rye is planted in the other. As soon as the green blades are up three inches the fowls are turned into it and the other yar%: i dug up and planted. However, space is lacking the only alternative is to keep the yard free from fith by spading it every two weeks or so, and | a fruit tree set in the yard will pro- vide spade, yield a good supply of luscious fruit agd add another bit of pleasant green to the surroundings. Plums seem to do particularly well in the poultry vard. In setting them out, however, provide protection to the roots by laying stones around the trees or the fowls will soon destroy them. RECLAIMING WET LANDS Adding “Acres at a Small Expense. W. H. STEVENSON, Towa State College of Agriculture. There are yet in nearly all sections | of the United States thousands of | acres of excellent land which produces ; nothing of greater value than sedges or wild hay, There are also in this country thousands of farmers who for one reason and another fail to give . the drainage problem the attention ! which it deserves merely as a finan- cial proposition; some are slow to comprehend the value of dainage, and some have not learned how to drain. | The plant food resources lying dor- nant in ponds and bogs and sloughs | of undrained areas are sufficient to produce great crops of grain and forg age for an indefinite time. pay to reclaim wet lands? Experi- enced farmers state they Have never known a case where drainage was feastble and where work was well done ‘that reclamation by drainage failed to pay satisfactory profits. In fact, it frequently turns out that re- claimed land, when brought into con- dition by thoro ing, turns out t6 be the best piece on the farm, being filled with humus and rich in plant food. \ great many questions come up en a_landowner decides to drain a given piece of land. These questions relate to the depths of ditches, size of the tile, locations of drains, services of a drainage engineers, and a good many other matters of importance. for- tunately for the landowner, there are no rules which apply to the installa- tion of all This is ofaten vary widely within a very lim- ited area. Avoid Mistakes in Tiling. Tiling should/be considered as a per- manent improvement: In drainage work a single mistake may cause the failure of an entire system. The sur- est wayv to avoid mistakes is to hire a reliable draingage engineer to make | | present high surveys and plan the entire system of drainage. Great care should be exercised in | the selection of tile. Ti™ should be smooth, straight, uniform size, | syuare ‘cut at the ends end well burn- ed. Vitrifield tile should be the epnstruction of outlets. The depth and /distance apart at which drains should be placed for best resulis cannot be stated definitely.

The hems in the international egg la)'mg contest at Storrs are continuing he good work. They vielded 91 eggs Hiore than last weel or & fotal of 3,649 for the 28th week. The two most in- teresting developments of the week were, first, the establishment of a new | high weekly pen record, and second, two Connecticut pens, viz, White Leg- horns owned by Frances F. Lincoln of | Mt. Carmel and White _Wyandottes owned by Merrythought Farm of Co- ! lumbia, passed the 1,000 egg mark. | These two pens are outdistanced at | this_writing by only the English pen of White Wyandottes, which have now | laia nearly 100 dozen eggs. The best | previous weekly pen record was 59| exgs and was established seven weeks | ago by a Massachusetts pen of Barred ' ! Plymouth' Rocks. As already intimat- | ed, however, this record now goes by the boards and a new high record is | set at 61 eggs for the week and was !made by the English pen of White | Leghorns owned by Tom Barron. A i Pennsylvania pen of White Leghorns owned by Marwood Poultry Farm of Butler and a Michigan pen of Buff | Leghorns from Grand Rapids owned | i by Wolverine Poultry Farm tied for | second place with 59 eags each. Connecticut pen of Whité Leghorns owned by Windsweep Farm of Redding | Ridge came third for the week with 56 eggs. A pen of White Leghorns own- led by P. G. Platt, Wallingford, P: | came next with 55 eggs. Following | | these closely were White Leghorns | owned by Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Cag- | mel, Conn., Mrs. K. E. Woodruff, New |- Haven, Conn., and Storrs Experiment | station, with 54 eggs each. i Leghorns Shewing Strong. It will ‘be noted from the above that | the Leghorns are ve coming into | their own. The eigit best pens for the week are all Leghorns. Furthermore, | of the 29 pems that laid 50 eggs or more each for the week 23 of these or nearly #0 per cent. were Leghorns, it will be remembered that the Leghorn pens constitute only per cent.of the total number of com- peting pens. Taking all the Leghorn pens together, they produced 1,715 eggs of the week eld, or 47 per cent. Thus any possible zain within the next few weeks or even a holding up of the vieid must undoubtedly be expected from the lighter breeds. Further examination of the records snows that there were several changes among the ten leading pens. The pen of Epglish White Leghorns moved from ninth place to seventh, passing on their way a Danbury pen of Rhode Tsland Reds and a New York state pen of Barred Flymouth Rocks. A Massa- chusetts pen of Rhode Island Reds Is . now occupying tenth place, displacing a pen of the same breed owned . by Fla. The Brawnest Egg. Anothef interestin ture of this 28th week is that what is believed to laid not enly dur- ing the present <o tion but during | the past three years was produced by a Rhode Island Ré€d hen owned by W.
