The winter months, when all work is at a standstill, is the time to plan your work for the next year. Make a rough map of your farm and decide what -you are roing to put on each plece. It takes so many acres to fill your silo, you need so many tons of hay to carry the .stock through, you want to plant so many acres to a cash crop. All of this can easily be plan- ned now, so ‘that the year will be started with a definite plan in_view. Time, money and energy will be saved by doing this. Spread Your Manure Now. Occasionally we see manure put out on'the flelds now in little heaps and there left for weeks and perhaps months. Now if one will give it but a moment's thought it will be seen that this is not the best way to do. Manure hauled out now and left till spring will have much of the goodness leach- ed out and settled into the ground di- rectly under the pile. This will cause the crop nmext year to be very uneven, heavy in snots where it will lodge in case of grasses. The best way to do is to spread it on the land as fast as it is made. This minimizes the labor cost, the loss by leaching is very low and the land is all ready to plow in the spring. In top dressing the hay land It is not expected that the grass will respond to the fertilizer very satisfac- torily if there is not the root system to furnish the grass. This only payvs when there is a good sod. It is very good farming, however, to apply ma- nure on sod that is to be turned over next year for cornm, etc. Mound the Trees. Much harm is apt to be done during the winter by mice and rabbits gird- ling the trees, especially the young ones. This es _precautionary meas- ures’ necessary. If a little mound of dirt is thrown up against the tree it will generally prevent this injury. The early snows, too, may be packed down around the trees, which will have a tendency to prevent the mice working 1 in the stubble. Wire bands are prob- ably the best and it is well worth any farmers’ time to do some one of these during the early winter months, Pruning Fruit Trees. The average farmer and fruit grow- er has very little conception of the proper pruning of fruit trees. It is generally done at any time during the winter months, when the tree is dor- mant, and if no time presents itself it 1s left over to another year. While t is essential to, prune. neverthieless it i perhaps best to wait till the latter part of February or March, after the and that t] coldest weather has passed, to do the heaviest -prunine. Trees should be regularly pruned, regardless of the amount of pruning required. If prun- ing is done every vear the tree will amount of wood and fruit, and there is mue occasion for during the first three or rour years of an orchard after plant- of the removal of superfluous shoots ' branches that interlace, and - this udmmvsmevlmummmbm trees, ter pruning she hlybodbll-'odtfl'lfl h. cember and January it is often disas- Ervwlinmyl.cflou.nthawmmdl thus mh Mllfl he.l for diseases.

Many thousand of {dollars are iost annually and many ease, and the government at Wash- ington il‘xhuu a circular er give especial care to the management of the orchard. Careful inspection should be made of the or- chard to eliminate every infested limb, as it epreads very rapidly. INCREASED PRODUC‘I'IW SHOWN EVERY WEEK Most Pleasing Results in Fifth Week of Egg Laying Contest. The Fourth international Bgg Lay- Ing contest at Storrs has shown in- creased production every week since it apened on November 1st, and since the gecond week at a constantly in- credsing rate. The production for the fifth week was 1462 eggs, which was 296 eggs_ better than the preceding week and relatively 441 eggs better than for the corresponding period last vear. Bd Cam's White Wyandottes o=l the week with a production of 43 ©ggs. A pen of White Leghorns own- ed by P. G. Platt of Wallingford, Pa.. captured second place with a yield of 40 eggs. Third place went to a Con- necticut pen of Leghorns owned by F. M. Peasley, of Cheshire. this pen having laid ‘37 ‘Windsweep Farm's White Leghorns tied for fourth place with a pen of Rhode Island Reds from St. Albans, Vermont, owned by Hillview Poultry Farm, each pen hav- ng 35 eggs to their credit.

I Reds, Dominiques, White and Black Leghorns and Silyer Cam- pines, that laid six eggs thus ng a score of 86 jer cept. The method of feeding the pullets is_slightly different from the way in which the old birds were being fed at the closegof the last contest. The dry mash is Yed in- hoppers to which the birds have access at all times. The scratch feed is fed as follows: When the attendant goes through and un- locks in the morning each pen is given a handful of grain. They receive a like amount in the middle of the fore- noon and again at 1 o'clock. The ob- ject of this method'is to keep the birds off the roost and working. The heavy feeding of five or six handfuis per Den is given between three and four o'clock or as late as it can de given and still allow time for the birds to clean it up before derk. The amount fod varies, offgourse, with the bresd &nd with the number of birds thet are lavi grit and ovster shell are Kkept before the birds at all times while the succulent part of the ration fis supplied by mangels and sprouted oats, The ton leading pens to date arp as, tolluwa Windsw Farm, Redding Ridge, Conn., Wies Lezhotns, 201: Bd_Cam.
