A field is broken for corn or other spring amp. seeded directly to wheat, and is then in such condition that clover, or timothy and clover, is needed to restore it to a profitable condition for future tillage. But the patch of grass is often a tuilnre, causing a break in the ro- tation and making it necessary to have too large an acreage of the farm in tilled crops. Nothing is more disheart- leasing than such failure to get stands u grass when wanted. More cultiva- tion only decreases the chance for sue- ceaaful seeding, and the land is not in shape for profitable crops. It stands of grass could be assured, the farmer, his plans would not. be so often upset, and his profits would be larger. Unfor- tunately no assurance can be bad, and the only thing to do is to make the chances great as possible. I am confident that on most fume the true function of the manure made on the farm is to make a manurial crop grow, It should be used to start a crop that will add much more fertility to the soil than the manure contains. It should not be treated as a source of plant food for cash erupt-u unless the farm supply is so large that all is not needed to insure heavy growths of grass ‘and clover, There are occasional stock til-inns that furntsh all the plant food, including humus, needed by the soil in ’the form of stable manure, but such forms are rare. Whenever catches of igrass and rank growth are not reason- lalde certalutiee, the stable manure jsliutiltl be made to do the most possible ito insure success in seeding down the land. _ _ In what, way can manure be made to do its been. for grass? Certainly it is by being thoroughly mixed with the surface boil of the land intended for seeding. The first step in seeding is to prt-pur ethe ground early so thatmoi- suture. will rise. Then topdress with manure, cultivating the surface till the manure is fined and mixed with the Burma: soil. - _ _ _ mm' Many object. to this way of handling umnurv. They agree that the unfer- mented manure should go to supply the wants of the corn plant, which is a gross feeder, and that fertility is left in the soil for a succeeding grain crop, This is doubtless true, but the man- ure that is 19ft by the corn is not where it can do the must good for the young gram. It needs the solubleplant food and the mulching that is gotten by top-dressing. If there were abund- ance of manure, the "ntdrment8d should he applied t9.la.nd intended fgr "iiiriirurt, GTi'iii' -a, humid supply the needs of the clover and grass are of the; _ grea gem " importance. All over this country one sees straw- stacks and fodder. The latter is not shredded, as a rule, and when these conditions exist all this long stuff that is refused. by stock should be kept in a sort ot pit or basin by the barn, where leaching does not occur. and the mass thoroughly rots by midsummer. This affords material for top-dressing early glowed fields, intended for wheat. Vhere the long stuff is out and all refuse passes through the stables for bedding. a cheap shed will serve to protect the manure from severe loss. The secret lies in the thorqugh tunin- There in has? waste and expense when manure in drawn direct from stu- ble to field and this is an argument against saving a supply for top-dreys- ing land that in being prepared for wheai and grass. but I write of the cir- cumstances by those. who are, far from sure of good stands of grass. The add- ed expense in saving a supply for.top- dresung is richly repaid in the v or- any clover that is usually Maui-ea by rmrface manyring. l ing of the manure in the shed as it ls evenly spread over the floor. from tune to time. In such Mays a will)” of manure may be kept till such ).".te as it can be made to make a mammal crop grow.

But all thin seams of little mount. bo- muae thay do it all themaelves without any care, and so it never enters in the farmer's calculation that chickens can be made the most profitable live stock that try to live upon his farm, They have, in his opinion, done all thnt can be expected of the fifty or one hundred chickens that have accumulated on his farm from year to year. These are. indeed, often of the moat indifferent kind of dunghill fowls, with an over- u_selees and are a perfect nuisance, be- sides being a. dead loss of what they eat. Moreover, as they run at large at all times, they often destroy grain and garden truck. which, besides the annoy- ance in often a serioug loam _ ..

Now, all this can be changed. and instead of all this annoyance and waste, with a doubtful profit. there can be a certain income of a hundred or more dollars each year, from these same chickens. or others better adapted to .do the work at the some expense. Thia would certainly be no unwelcome Income added to the spending money of the farmer's household. This is but a small estimate of the income from a flock of chickens no larger than is found on many farms, and kept with almost no profit. with a. little time and a. little care and, it may be, asmull outlay in the beginning, arrangements may be made whereby chickens may be kept with very little trouble and with myeh pram; .. *& " . .....v.. F"... Instead of making it a necessity for them to pick around the stables and barnyard for an uncertain living and finding shelter where they can, in all kinds of weather, they should have a large yard somewhere near the burn for fl range, and in this or connected with it there should be a warm chicken house. for shelter. This house should be large enough to have. a feeding room, roasting racks, and, separated from these, bat of easy access, a. room for nests and hatching.. .. . The feeding room should have a covering on the floor of clean straw. better if some of it is cut to two or three inches in len th; among this straw. when fed in are house, the feed should be aosttered, to necessitate the exercise of scratching to find the grain, Every room should be kept clean. and the walls should be whitewashed. and lime with a little dilute carbolic acid should be scattered iarouytd,.the roasts; The yard. where the feeding should] be done in mild weather, should be‘ supplied with pure water and may in-) clude a grass plot for summer use, and access to the barnyard, where the chick- ens may be permitted to run when con- venient. The feed here should bowel] scattered and should be varied; corn, wheat, barley and oats, with scraps from the table, and a couple of time. a week ground bones and meat from the bum er'a. This arrangement may seem at first to involve a good deal of trouble. but that will be owing very much to the interest taken in the chick- ens and what they are expected to do for you. If you once get m the habit of taking care of your chickens Bayou now take care of your other stock,you will be astonished how they will grow in your L / or, and how much real mon- ey they will make for you. " course, it must he understood that you have egg producing chickens and that every small per cent. of them are mates, and that these be kept, from a free range except in the early spring when you expect, your hens to prepare for hatch- ing.
