Where orchard land Is rolling or
billy, a winter cover crop is very es
sential for two resons; first, becuse
it adds humus to the soil; ami sec
ond, it prevents erosion or washing
by the winter rains. Some ot the
small grains, as oats, wheat or rye,
are sometimes used for this purpose.
However, auiy of these are surpassed
by liuiri vetch, for it Is a leguminous
piiuit and, in addition to the humus
it furnishes, it also adds nitrogen
to the soil. This addition of httmu:.
is especially beneficial where the land
is naturally poor and the wood growth
„-f the trees is weak.
Fertlllzars,
In order to have n good covering of
vetch on the soli during the winter,
and also to have a heavy coat to plow
under the following spring, the vetch
soould be fertilized when planted, Hut
as tills Is a leguminous plant and so
collects its own nitrogen, only acid
phosphate and potash are considered
necessary.
One ton of potash mixed with three
tons of acid phosphate and applied at
the rate of 1-00 pounds per acre ntav
bo recommended for both apple and
t each orchards, where the soil is me
dium in fertility. The fertilizer may
h L - applied broadcast and the land
broken just shallow enough nut to dls
tttrb the large roots of the trees.
How and When to Plant Vetch.
Hairy vetch may he sown in the or
chards at almost any time between
the last cultivation itt July and the
first of October. If the seeds nr,’
wn in July, they will not germinate,
-in rally, until the noil gets colder,
evertheless, vetch is often sown at
..is season simply to save tile extra
xpense of soil preparation by sowing
begun to get cool and still the plants
will have time to become well rooted,
and large enough to partly cover the
ground before they are checked in
growth, to any extr<<f, by the cold.
From forty to foSy-ftve pounds of
seed may be sown per acre. They
should be sown on top of the soil at
ter it lias been fertilized and web
pulverized. Then they should be light
ly worked Into the soil with some form
cf a hsrrew which will not cover them
very deeply.
Inoculating Soil for Vetch.
Soil which has never grown vetch
successfully should he inoculated fo;
it. Tills Inoculation is accomplished
most certainly by getting soli from
land on which vetch has boon success
fully grown. Two hundred pounds of
such sett to the acre, applied broad
cast, will make a fair inoculation. Soil
on which cow-pea vines have been
grown is not efficacious for this inoc
ulation for the species of bacteria
which form the nitrogen, gathering
nodules on the roofs of eowpen vines
are different front those forming th-
nitrogen gathering nodules on vetch
roots, and are useless to the vetch
. plant.
i The vetch should be turned tinder
| early the following spring, between
I the first and tenth of March, just aftot
|another application of fertilizer siinl-
i lnr to that given when the vetch seed
was sown lias been applied, if do-
|sired, the spring application of ferti
lizer ntny be applied (at the rate of
three pounds per tree) around the tree
in a circle on an area which will about
equal tile spread of the limbs. If for
any reason the vetch fails to make a
good growth, the nitrogen, which a
heavy growth would have added, may
he supplemented l»y the addition of
about a hundred pounds of cottonseed
meal to two hundred pounds of the
mixture of acid phosphate and muri
ate of potash.

Will the Poultry Business Be Overdone?
A writer asks us this question, nnd
adds that since Hie farmers have be
gun to look nft-r their fowls It seems
to be hut a matter of time when the
supply will exceed the demand. Such
will never be the case. On the son-
trary. poultry raising Is lust In Its In.
fancy, itnd the demand will continue to
grow. Housekeepers are gradually learn.
Ing to appreciate the value of eggs as
compared with beef and poultry, and
consequently are using more of each,
and demanding a better quality than
they could get a few ymrs since,
Kygn are no longer eggs unless they are
strictly fresh, and poultry must be fat
and in prime condition. Consumers are
The most commonly known pure
bred fowls of this country are divid
ed Into three principal groups, viz:
Asiatic, American and Mediterranean.
They are decidedly different in their
characteristics and make-up.
The Asiatic comprise the Brahmas.
Cochins and Langshans and is known
as the large and feather-legged class,
full feathered throughout and priced
as good winter egg producers. They
are raised more for their size and
quality of flesh than for the number
of eggs they produce. They are not
active foragers but need to be fed
and well cared for. They are espe
cial)}' adapted to cold climates.
The Mediterranean is close-feather
ed. clean-legged and Is known as the
egg class and comprises all the varie
ties of Leghorns, seven in number;
three varieties of Minorcas, Spanish,
Andalusians and Anconas. They are
the smallest of the three classes and
characterized as the most active and
sprightly of our domestic fowls. They
are not content to sit about in a lazy
manner as is often the case with ih-
Asiatics, but must be always on the
move. As egg producers they have
no superiors and but few equals, and
in fact they are often termed “egg
machines.” They are non-sitters, net
wanting to sit the first year of their
lives, and few of them when older,
although they do sometimes. They
are bred and kept principally for eggs,
as they do net make good broilers,
nor roasters. In fact, there la no
time in tbeir lives when an epicure
would cal] their flesh first class. The
egg business seems to be their hobby.
The American class occupies the
middle ground between the lordly Asi
atic and the sprightly Mediterranean,
and partakes largely of both, being
what is usually called general pi-.'
pose fowls. They are first c<ass egg
producers, frequently rivaling the best
of the so-called egg breeds. As br-TF
or producers this class holds the hon
ors as producing the best In quality
in the shortest time. This class, as
its name indicates, has been produced
and perfected In this country by ex
pert and scientific crossing of other
pure breeds. While they differ largely
In color and to a certain extent In
form and make up, yet they possess
many things in common which stamp
them as purely American. One of
these prominent features is the rich
yellow skin and flesh common to the
whole class regardless of color. The
class consists of all the Rocks, three
varieties; Wyandottes, eight varieties;
Javas, two varieties; Dominiques,
Rhode Island Reds, and Buckeyes.
Where a person does not want to keep
an Asiatic variety for Its flesh qual
ity, and a Mediterranean for eggs,
the American varieties step in and
furnish almost as good egg producers
and the best quality In flesh.

Where you have n good many pul
lets coming on for laying hens it Is
a good plan to separate them accord
ing to age ns neur as possible. They
t an be fed more nearly suited to their
requirement and they will grow faster
and lay soonpr.
When the hens begin to mope
around, appetites poor and seeming
to not care whether they ent or not,
are very fat, and their odors are of
fensive, they need attention at once.
You have been feeding them loo
heavily of rich concentrated food.
Their diet should be changed at once
to something plait#—one or two kinds
of whole grain and In Untiled quanti
ties. Keep a trough of dry bran al
ways before tnem. Such a procedure
will ordinarily booh right them.
Do not under any circumstances al
low the carcasses of dead fowls to
lay around and decay in the hot sun.
Your flock eating ol this will die off
us fast as you can count them. Bury
'deep or burn all such as soon as death
j occurs. Farmers are prone to become
j careless along this line and it means
great loss.
I See that the weaned and growing
I broods have good roomy quarters on

j If you are anxious for a flock of
early-laying pullets each year, make a
record of those which commence lay
ing first this fall by putting a leg
band upon the good ones and record
.the number of the band in a book

laying. Next winter *r spring mate

A good strong fat ken may be able
to support a few hnodred lice and
mites for a while without it telling
visibly upon her constitution, but she
should not be expected to take care
of handfuls of them and at the same
time lay eggs regularly, then hatch
and rear a brood of chicka. The
strain will be too great upon her and
she will eventually give down, comb
will turn pale, her face look blood
