Those Which Have Been Used Should Be Disinfected—Time to Start. Poultrymen planning to get early pullets for laying eges in November and December to obtain the high win- ter prices should he starting their in- cubators now. If iue incubators were used last yedr, they should be caref icinfected with some solution simi- to_sulpho napthol and free from oils. A sreat many diseases of young chickens originate in the incu- bator which has not been properly dis- infected. The thermometer should be carefully tested in water at a tempera- ture of 103 dezrees by some thermome- h'is knows to be accurate. In- ators should be warmed up grad- running the lamp low f AGRICULTURAL INTEREST® | first day and heating it to a tempera ture of 103 desrees after the first hours. The situation of the incubator is very important. The cellar is the best place for the machine, provided it is well ventilated because the cellar is very little influenced by outside con- ditions and there is always more or moisture in the atmosphere. It is better to have a room above the sur- face that is well ventilated than a ce lar poorly ventilated. Very many house cellars are not ry b cause of the window Where the are sufficiently large, cheese cloth may be placed over them' to prevent direct draft upon the machine and oxygen will be supplied rough the cheese cloth. The burning up & 4 An Economical Six=Rcom Cottage The neat, simple design fllustrated | ular roof pleasing to the eye, but it]and well ventilated, has a number of features worthy of special mention, but the one that commends itself most highly to the thoughtful student of domestic archi- tecture is the genuine economy of the plan. It is not the rigid economy of the penurious that denies comforts or detracts from appearances to effect a saving, but the economy that elimi- nates unnecessary waste by utilizing to splendid advantage every inch of room. This cottage measures 33 feet across the front, and including the plazza, is 81 feet deep. In outward appearance it is a splendid example of present day architecture. ot only is the combination of group win- dows, hospitable entrance and irreg- is likewise novel and in strict con- formity to good taste. The plan calls for an exterior of stucco, but shingles, brick or novelty siding could be sub- stituted, if desired, and the result would be quite as effective. It would be difficult indeed to con- ceive of a more practical floor plan for a cottage of six rooms. This perhaps is more apparent on the first floor. The vestibule leads directly to the living room. There is no hall be- tween but the omission is in keeping With present day tendencies, and males possible a living room of un- usual charm. This room, which is 14 X 19 feet, is the most accessible in the house. From it doors lead to the dining room on the left, to the kitchen and piazza in the rear, and a stair- case communicates with the cham- bers on the floor above. The most imposing feature, and one that adds materially to every home, is the fire- Dlace, with enciosed bookcase on either side. The dining room, which is 13-6 x 13-6, is in the front of the house, and 80 located it commands a splendid view of the living room from which it is separated by French doors. A china. closet, with full length door, is near the ‘entrance. Between the dining room and the 13-6 x 11 kitchen is the pantry, a spacious well af- fair that cannot fail to excite the ad- miration of every housewife. The kitchéh is well lighted, and equipped with every modern convenlence. Place for a refrigerator is provided off the back entry and a good sized_closet adjoins, The cellar stairs and back entrance are situated in the most economical position possible. 4 ‘There are three bedrooms, Iarge on the second floor, besides a sleeping porch, 9x11, a bath and a linen closet. Ample closet room is planned, ghere being two on the first floor and three on the sec- ond. The third fidor is left unfinish- ed. In. the < basement; which _extends under the entire house, may be found the heating plant, vegetable cellar, laundry and storage room. Arrangements have been made with the architect to furnish estimated cost of construction or any other in- formation desired regarding the house illustrated. They also invite our readers to make suggestions for plans which they would like illus- trated in the future. Address all correspondence to The Bulletin, House Plan Department. it is important to have a constant fresh supply of oxygen so that the em- bryos in the eggs will always have a sufficient amount available. Avoid direct drafts on the incubators be- cause they will affect the inside tem- perature of the machine. When the machine is run in a room above the ground which is rather dry it pays to have pans of water in tlie rooms to prevent the eggs in the machine from drying out too rapidly. ALFALFA. Those Planning To Raise It Should Have Some Early Crop Aheac. Those interested in raising a plot of alfalfa this coming year should plan to grow some early crop like early po- tatoes or oats and peas so that the crop can be removed before the time for seedinz occurs and enough time allowed for cultivation to eliminate every possible chance of weeds getting start_before the ulfalfa comes on. Since manure is likely to introduce lar s of weed seeds the ap- pl the same sea- son_the alfalfa desirable. Plenty of lime, phosphorus and potash should be applied so that the plant can get a good start as early as possible. Seeding to be done about the middle of August using 20 to 25 pounds per acre. People wishing to conduct alfalfa plots and desire - the co-operation of the league should get in touch with the office soon as convenient CLOVER. Several Reasons Why Sucocessful Stand May Not Be Secured. Observations indicate that failure to obtain a successful stand of clover is due to a number of different causes, any one of any combination of which may reach v unfavorably to its growth. The primary causes of clover failure appear to be due to depletion of the humus content of the Soil “acidity.” Clover will not succeed on poorly drained soil. Lack of fertility reduces the yield in some sections. In the spring grain sections the nurse crop should be seeded from one-half to two-thirds the usual rate. When a full seeding of the purse crop is made, and this is especially true of oats, the greater portion of the soil moisture is used by the grain. The clover plants thus become weakened, and when the grain is ut they are killed by the hot sun before they have time to recover. Alsike clover does well on soil which will no longer grow red clover, and where moisture is sufficient it is recommended that alsike be planted. Sweet clover or soy beans are ver: good soil renovators, and they may replace red clover in the rotations un- til the soil is in such condition that rec clover will succeed. FARM FACTS. Cheap money will solve many of the farmers problems. There is not enough of the communi- ty_spirit ameng our rural districts. Success in farming depends largely upon proper marketing methods, cheap money and co-operation. Something {s wrong in our market- ing system when a small crop brings more money than a bountiful one. Co-operation between practical far- mers and proficient business men wili eleminate ignorance and prejudic The highest duty of state and Fed- eral Governments is to place agricul- tural education within the reach of all. The farmer cannot be helped until he organizes, and the Government can best help the farmer through organi- zation. 2 By co-operating with his neighbor the farmer can learn new methods of culture and the interchange of ideas will benefit both. The Nation's menu must be made up from the fields, pastures, orchards and gardens, and to farm intelligently ‘the farmer must know what is needed. DON'T SET FREAK EGGS. Did you ever notice how much more vigorous and growthy is the plant coming from large plump seeds of corn, wheat, beans, radish, lettuce, etc.? The same law holds good with chickens hatched from good-sized, well-shaped eggs. Eggs that have sufficient size to furnish plenty of material to develop a vigorous, perfect embryo chick, and room for it to expand, will insure the chick’s ample strength to cut and ‘burst its shell prison. Select not the over-sized irregular- shaped egg, but those of good size and as uniform in shape, color, and strong in shell as possible. HAVE A GRAPE ARBOR. On' crowided heme grounds where the space is lacking for a regular row of grapevines grown on the common grape trellis, a grape arbor for six or mere vines fo supply the needs of the family is often a very convenient thing. It can more by made quite atirac the leafy covering and display of the fruit, of course, by the arbor itself. The later may be a cheap and sim- ple affair, consising of two rows of good, straight and, if possible, painted Posts sec 6 or § feet apart and con- nected by latticework or even wires on the sides (outside) and overhead. In constructing such an arbor you may consull your own taste and the lumber you have on hand, also your pocketbook. A grapevine can be trained on any support at will or fancy, and will bear fruit in abundance. Select the varie ties Dbest suited for your locality. Concord and Niagara are reliable in many sections. In hot summer days a nice grape arbor, if provided with table, seat or hammock, makes a cozy retreat for the tired man or woman, excellent for resting and reading. By all means have a grape arbor. SEVENTEENTH WEEK IN EGG LAYING CONTEST Ahead of Last Contest at This Time by 816 Eggs—Awards for Febru- ary. the than The hens the laying Storrs continue to go records of last year. teenth week the total vield for all pens amounted to 3,306 egss, which is 484 more than for the preceding week and relatively 816 more than for the corresponding week last vear.

One hen, a Buff Leghorn, gave quite an unusual performance by laying during the week three egss, ail of which taken together weighed a little less than the standard two ounce egg. None of these could of course be counted because they were not of mar- ketable size. Strangely enough each egz was just a little smaller than the ne that preceded it and the manage- ment of the contest is exceedingly in- terested to see just how long this will be_continued. The monthly awards for February have been announced as follows: Bluo ribbon or first prize was won by Tom Barron’s pen of English Wyandottes that laig 211 eggs during the month. Two pens of Rhode Island Reds own- ectively by Charles O, Polhe- mus, Newburgh, N. Y., and Springdale Poultry farm, Durham, Conn., tied for second with 19 eggs each. The Storrs Station's sour mill pen of White W andottes came third with a yleld of 163, but inasmuch as this experimental pen is not in competition the third prize ribbon_ for February has been awarded to Merrythought Farm's pen of Columbian Wyandottes, Columbia Conn., that lald 158 eggss The ten leading pens to date are as follows: Eq Cam, Hoghton, near Preston, England, White Wyandottes, 625: Hill- view Poultry Farm, St Albans, Vt., Rhode Island Reds, 573; Merritt M.
