When the females are selected for breeding pens they should be chosen first for: their constitutional vigor and every individual that shows any signs of weakness or has had or is having any cold or other disease should never be -allowed to go into the flock. ~Al- though ‘most diseases of this kind can- not be transmitted to their offspring they do have a tendency to make the chickens which are hatched from their eggs susceptible to- these diseases. The males ‘which are-to head these pens should ‘likewise . be chosen for similar -reasons, and it is especially important, in order to obtain high fer- tility. during the early spring months, ‘that males be extremely vigorous and active. They should be well developed in size, have prominent head furnish- ings and show by their actions that they, have valuable prepotent. qual- ities. Dr. Pearl.of the Maine experi- the male bird has the greatest influence on the egg production of his,progeny, and if this is true it is important that all males used for breeding purposes should be the sons of high producers just as it is important that the females should be high producers themselves. Poultrymen who do not trap nest can- not very well, obtain this_ informa- tion concerning their males, but it does pay.to select a small pen of birds that molted late and mate with them the strongest and most active -male In the fock in order to obtain for o following _season cockerels that will in - all probability inherit from their mothers ability to produce stock that will lay heavily. On the average poultry farm where it 1s plannea only to hatch and rear chickens for egg production one small breeding pen of this kind with a large breeding pen-of the best yearling hens will be most desirable. The commer- cial man cannot afford the time nec- essary for caring - for - many small breeding pens. When birds are mated in large flocks it is not wise to use as many hens for each male as in smaller flocks. ‘Thw judgment of the poul- tryman on this point’is always best bécause he can decide easily after Tooking over his male birds according '"'gm;-u tv{»“&"”imw.u i o grain o pen: o high: stimindsing Brotain Zood.

S5 FRUIT GROWERS. Ne Reason Why ' They Should Not Make Lime Sulphur at Home. There is no reason why. fruit-grow- ers in different communities should not pool their demands for lime sul- phur and employ, one of thelr members to make the community's suply. Lime sulphur can be very easily made by one who understands the matter, es- pecially where they have live steam. Cooking by live steam seems to make a better product, more easily done, and more satisfactory all around. There- fore it may be questionable whether it is practical to make lime sulphur for the community unless one has available live steam to carry out the work. L. W. Rice of Wilbraham and others tried "this project last year, and Beaume tests made of this mate- rial by the horticultural adviser showed that when figured on -the strength of the material on the mar- ket it showed a saving of 40 to 60 per cent. This means quite an item to the fruit growers, and it is hoped that several communities will attempt making their own lime sulphur. USE OF FERTILIZERS FOR DIFERENT CROPS. ?unwtinnl M. by Officials of State Experimental Station. In the report on fertilizers for 1915 issued by the Connecticut Bxperimeh- tal Station at New Haven with sug- gestions regarding fertilizers for 1916 Director E. H. Jenkins-and Chemist J. P. Street make the following sugges- tions for the coming season with reference to their adaptabflity to dif- ferent crops: Top Dressing for Grass—A commer- cial fertilizer with a high percentage of nitrogen may be used, or 100-200 pounds of nitrate of soda or of cyan- amid, or of a mixture of the two, or a like amount of ammonium sulphate (but cyanamid must not be mixed with ammonlum sulphate). It should be applied soon ‘after growth begins in the epring.. At present. prices the use of acid phosphate for top dress- ing is hardly to be advised, but stable manure is of course valuable when it can be spared for this purpose. For Clover and Alfalta—Wood ash- es are excellent if they can be got. Lime-kiln ashes perhaps are the next best thing in the present scarcity or high price of acid phosphate and basic phosphate. 5 For Corn—Here is where the large part of the farm manure usually -and reasonably goes. .Ten tons . of farm Mmanure carry ahout 120 pounds of ni- trogen, of phosphorio acld and 130 pounds of potash, with more than 2 tons of humus-forming matter.. With this may be used 300-§00 pounds of a “3-10 formula” (3 per cent of ammon- ia, or 2.47 per cent of ni and 10 per cent of phosphoric acid). In this state. nitrate in- the formula .is not necessary. . For Potatoes—The . fertilization of tato land offers peculiar difficulties. .&hl“m#flhmfl— 'should pay. . for:a heavy. ‘with. fertilizers. It L 9 is also a ctop which on most lands needs for maxi- oo production an abundant supply o land will ‘feel most the dearth of wa- tasaoiulie ol teetliivers. - The metho: growing crop which conform to the best farm prac- tice have been given in Joint Circular No. 1, to be had on‘request. ° of increasing: scab. ‘Atc so that it is lkely potato] Tobacco stalks from 1,500 pounds of cured le&f contain about 30 pounds of nitrogen, 6 of phosphoric aeid and 48 of potash, or about one-third of the nnlx‘ou‘nhh lnuthohwhole e'rvp., & ere is objection to plowing in all the stalks taken from an acre and if they cannot be used on.corn land, they may as a last resort be burned and the ashes, which contain most of the potash and phosphates, may used on tobacco land. Cotton seed meal will probably be the chief reliance for quickly available nitrogen, In spite of the high price. We believe one-third of the nitrogen may be supplied in dry fish scrap if that is available. A part of the mi- trogen and the phosphoric acid may also be applied in fine bone or tank- age. For Rcot Crops, excepting Potatoes, | mals. and Vegetables in General—Eight tons or more, of manure well worked into the sofl®and 500 pounds of a 3-8 or 3-10 formuls. The amount of manure used will of course differ greatly ac- cording to the eupply and the use or probable profit to be made of the crops. If no manure is available, dress the land with 1,000-2,000 pounds of a 5-8 or_5-10 formula. Raspberries and Oother Small Fruits may recelve about the same dressing as vegetables in general, but in_smaller amount. For Spring Seeding—If the land was well fertilized in 1914 no application may be needed: otherwise 300-500 pounds of a 6-8, 5-8, or 5-10 formula may be used. For orchards which are just being set out or for orchards which have been well fertilized in past years no fertilizer need be used, particularly if they are well tilled and have a cover crop, though in orchards on the light- er sandy soils when growth has been slow an application of 100 to 150 pounds of nitrate of soda in spring may pay, even at present prices. WINTER DOESN'T STOP s HENS FROM LAYING Production 'Shows Increase in Eleventh Week Over Previous Onme. The eleventh week of the laying contest at Stofrs developed a gain of 130 eggs over the previous week's pro- duction. The total yield for all pens amounted to 1952 eggs as compared with 1838 for the corresponding week last year.and lacked only one and a half ‘dozen of being just double the number of eggs laid in the corre- sponding week two years ago. “The five top pens for the week were all within four eggs of each other. A. W. Rumery’s pen of Rhode Island Reds from Danville, N. H. won first honors with a yield of i4 eggs. Two pene of White Wyandottes ownea by Obed G. Knight, Bridgeton, R. I and P. W. Backus, Chatham, Ont. tied for second place with 42 eggs each. Abel Latham's pen .of White Wyandottes from Brierfleld, Eng., and F. D. Clark's pen of Reds from Berlin, Conn. have tied for thirq place with 40 eggs each. Bach year at the beginning of the contest a considerable percent of the oggs collected are under standard weight and in consequence of their small size have to be marketed as sec- onds. The eggs, however, come up in size rather rapidly after the pullets begin laying. During the _eleventh week a White Leghorn pullet from Saratoga Springs, N. Y. laid the only egg 5o small that ‘it was entirely counted out as being unmarketable. On the other hand a Rhode Island Red from Attleboro, Mase., two Reds from Terryville, - Conn,, & Leghorn from Jacksonville, Vt. and a Leghorn from Windham, N. Y. all laid abnorm- ally large eggs weighing from 3 to 3 1-2 ounces each. Such eggs are, of course, desireable enough where they are consumed at home or when they can be disposed of locally. They are not, however, suitable for commercial purposes since all egg cases and other containers are designed for a stand- ard product welghing 24 ounces to a dozen. If a shipper includes in his case the abnormally large eggs that are occasionally produced they are most sure to be broken in transit. The three best pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows: Pen Plymouth Recks. 4 Jules F. Francais (Barred) W. e 8 Oregon Agr.

Talbot of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Fall plowing, disking harrowing will break up the nests, cells and prof cases of many in- sects and expose them to the rigors of winter weather. This will completely destroy many of our most injurious in sects and greatly diminish the num- bers of others. Fall plowing does not affect all in- sects allke, because they pass the win- ter in the soil in different The grasshoppers and the-corn root lice pass the winter in the egg stage: the cutworms, army worms, wire worms, and white grubs hibernate in the soil in the worm stage: the fall corn-ear worms and pupa or resting stage; and the click beetles, May beetles and potato bee- lllu hibernate in the soil as adult bee- tles. Many insects are crushed and de- stroyed in their wintering stages by plowing and disking. Others are ‘brought up nearer the surface and not being able to go deeper into the soil or to construct new cases are exposed to the ravages of birds and other ani- They are also subjected to cessive cold and moisture, to alternate freezing and thawing, and are killed. Old wheat stubble fieids, full of volun- teer wheat, weeds and grass, are now harboring Hesslan files, army worms, cutworms, grasshopper eggs and plant lice, all of which may be destroyed by fall plowing. If these old stubble flelds are not plowed until next spring, seri- ous injury may occur to corn, wheat and other crops In the neighborhood. ‘The Hessian files coming from the vol- unteer wheat next spring may com- pletely destroy late ‘sown wheat. POTASSIUM FROM THE SOH.. Bulletin 182 of the Illinois Station reports the work of five years' experi- ments the main purpose of which was to determine the extent to which de- caying organic matter is able to liber- ate soll potassium. The results: indi- cate that after two years' green man uring sufficient potasssium was liber- ted from the insoluble residue to en- able clover to be benefited by lime and phosphate fertilizers so as to exceed the yield of crops on the norma soil to which no such fertilizers had been added. The clover hay produced the normal soil contained about three times as much potassium per grain as was contained in crops from the insol- uble residue, which is taken to indi- cate that the actual requirement of clover for potassium may be very much less than has been estimated from the composition of hay grown on ordinary soils. It is also thought that the results support the theory that the benefit sometimies produced by potash fertilizers when applied to soils very deficient in decaying organic matter may be due in part to the power of the soluble potash salt to increase the avil- ability of phosphorous and other ele- ments. . 187 ORCHARD TILLAGE. According to the 1914 report of the Montana Station, fruit trees on the cultivated test plats of the horticultural substation in the Bitter Root Valley show that those on the plat cropped with potatoes have made the best growth since planting in 1908. Those on the clover plat, where the crop has been cut and left on the ground, rank next in th, and those on the clean cultivated piats rank third. The trees on the culti- vated plat are now beginning to show rosette, indicating that while the young trees may thrive for a time un- der clean cultivation, bearing trees can not be expected to continue in_ good condition under such a system of cul- ture.
