CRAB ORA8S.
Wftl.r i Naked. Kiposod Moll Than a 1,’ov-
•ring of Crab Mran.
It In fashionable for agricultural
writer, and editors to ad vine farmers
to grow crab gras* for hay. In the
I Iff lit of our own experience and ob-
nervatlon, wo eonnlder thin vory had
advice. An Injtirloun an entire nuked-
nenn during ntiminer In to our noil, we
would prefer nakednenn and exposure
to our Mtmrner Min to a covering of
crab grass. We admit that It makes a
clump hay, which in relished by all
hlndn of ntock, but not mi nutrition, an
liny from pea vine., ami but little
elieaper, when the heavier yield of pea
vines per acre In conildered. There
are three ncrloun objection, to growing
crab grass upon our cultivated land.,
vlt.:
I. It stock, the .oil with seed, which
will greatly Inereu.e the coat of culti
vating the crop which la to follow, and
II any of the aeeil are ripe when the liny
in harvented, the manure from the ani
mal. fed will contain the need, which
pas. through undigested and with their
vitality unimpaired on account of their
.mall al/.e, and consequently escape
from mastication.
‘J. It leaven the laud full of tunnockn
of root, mid given milch trouble In the
preparation of the, land for the next
crop. In fact, wo rarely .ce land up
on which a crop of crab grans grew the
previttnn year half prepared for the
next crop. If It la put In good condi
tion, the additional labor noeeaaltated
by the proacneo of the crnli grnan roots
incrmi.oa the oust of producing the
next crop.
S. It Impoverishes the soil more than
any crop we have ever grown. (Jer-
man millet In generally considered an
exhaustive crop, but the facta which
we give below show that crab grass is
fur more exhaustive than millet. It,
being a true grnaa, In a nitrogen con
sumer. Ita multitude of fibrous roots,
par mealing every particle of the .oil,
furnishing the mean, of effecting a
thorough robbery.
Wlille director of the Alabama ex
periment Ntiillon, we decided to com
pare (icrimin millet and crab grass as
hay producers. We selected two meas
ured acres, which previous cropping
had thown to he of equal fetlllty; pre
pared them alike and applied equal
quantities of the same brand of com
mercial manure to the two acres. The
only difference In the treatment of the
two was that German millet seed was
aown upon one and the crab graaa al
lowed to grow upon the other.
The yield of hay upon the two aero,
varied only 200 pounds in favor of the
oral) grans, which was out twice, the
millet once. The next year both acres
were planted to eottoa and treated
alike In every renjmet.
From the germination of the need to
me maturity ot iho crop, the crab graaa
acre presented the appearance of an
nnfortlllr.cd plot. Tho yield of cotton
was reduced one-half an the effect of
the crop of crab grnaa the previous
year. In our opinion tho Injury which
a crop of crab graaa eansea la not com
pensated for by tho value of the crop
of hay grown.
Kvery farmer la familiar with tho In
jurious effects of this graaa upon grow
ing crops. If they fully appreciated
Its effect, upon the subsequent pro
ductiveness of tho Boll, they would put
forth more strenuous efforts to exter
minate It,.—Cor. Agricultural Mouth.
iptiing Kggii.
This la a very Important process.
Contrnr.y to what some people expect,
all eggs will not hatch. Tho percent
age of a hatch In the number of chick
ens from the fertile eggn, not from the
number of ogga placed In the machine,
ft occurs frequently that egg. are
fertile, but the. germ la ao weak tlu^t It
will seldom live lifter the tenth day.
Kggs should he tented the fourth or
fifth day and again on the. tenth day.
Leghorn. Minorca and Iloudnn eggs
can be tested satisfactorily twenty-
six nr forty-eight hours after placing
them In the Incubator, but Brahma
and other dark-ahclled eggs can not be
satisfactorily tested until tlto seventh
day, unless one Is an expert and a very
good egg tester la used. A strong gonn
will show; a small black spot with red
reins radiating In all directions. Ad
dled eggs will show cloudy, detached
black spots floating In the egg without
any veins attached, A red color line
will be found In Rtale eggs. The lat
ter must l>e removed or foul odors will
be the result. An unfertile egg Is per
fectly clear, and will be nearly ns good
as fresh-laid eggs for cooking purposes.
On the tenth or twelfth day the chick
begins to move, and the eggs become
more and more clouded. On the e-ght-
eonth day the egg la entirely opaque,
except the amall apace called the air-
cell. Tho latter varies In sine accord
ing to the larger or smaller amount of
moisture used during Incubation. By
acttlng eggs under a hen at the same
time ns eggs arc set In Incubators, and
comparing them every few days, un
excellent Idea can he obtained of the
proper also of this air-cell.—Farmer’s
Voice.
Weeds are t he natural enemies ot
the farmer, therefore the boat time and
manner of killing them Is a subject of
Importance. A good fn’-mer will kill
them early and often. The Importance
of keeping ahead of weeds Isas been
amply Illustrated this season. Farms
that went Into the recent rainy spell
wit h a promising coating of weeds, are
now in the middle of a very bad fix,
while those that wore clean have been
easily kept so.
HERE AND THERE.
—There are only four days each year
In which the sun and clock time ex
actly correspond—April IB, June 14,
Hentember 1 and December 24.
—The incubator is Indlspenslble
where early broilers are wunted. Tho
old style of hatching will answer for
ordinary purposes, but for extraordi
nary purposes she is too unreliable.
—Prof. Stewart says that lime 1b tho
most important part of tho mineral
elements of nearly every plant Tho
ash of a plant is made up of these min
eral elements, and by examining the
ash, he says, we may discover what
kinds add quantities of mineral mat
ters the plant requires.
—When prices of stock are good tho
best animals bring the most money and
the largest profit, and whoa the bottom
.falls out of the market nothing but
good stock will save us from loss. Good
stock, continually becoming better, re
gardless of the markets, is the only
salvation for the raiser.
—Always burn the refuse materials
taken from the nests. The real breed
ing places for lice are the nests, which
are kept at an even temperature by sit
ting hens, and the liens hatch out more
lice than chicks. All nests should be
cleaned at lcastoncua week, and every
portion of refuse should be consumed
by fire.
—Blue Is being recommended as a
food for stock. The average price of
raising this grain is about a half a
cent per pound, and St Is said to be
even now in demand for feeding pur
poses at one cent per pound. There Is
a large amount of badly-cleaned and
broken rice that alwajs sells far be
low the price of staple grain that
might be utilised for stock feud, and
thus reserve for human food only the
better grade*
K««p Ducklings Dri.
It Is claimed that the Pekin duck
will thrive well without ponds. It Is
true that the ducklings can be more
easily raised away from ponds or
streams than when allowed to have
access thereto, but tills duo to the fact
that most of the ducklings are hatched
with Incubators during the winter sea
son, when the cold waters of tho oond
would chill ttjem and cause loss.
, Young ducks will thrive better if they
are kept away from the ponds until
they are well feathered; but despite
all claims In favor of the Pekin duck
its being adapted to dry locations, tny
experience is that the adult ducks are
more contented when they have a
pond. Like all aquatic birds, they en
joy the water, and they will thrive on
on an open field away from water (ex
cept for drinking), yet they give the
best results when they lir.vo the privi
leges of a oond.—Farm aiut Fireside
