The Growing Pullets, Their Care
Mid litanag'eineot.
Upon the care mid management of
the growing pullets, from the time
that they leave the brooder house until,
they ate it into laying quarters for
the winter, will depend very largely
their capacity for eaelp winter egg
production, and the 'consequent profit
which can be realized from them, Each
autumn, altogether too many underde-
veloped 'pullets ere put into winter
quarters, wieh the reault thee they
never develop thoroughly, and in eau -
sequence never make goad winter
layer,
The three eseentials to proper care
of the pullets at this stage are good
range and shade, a well balanced: re -
don, and oomforbable housing.
It is impossible to place too much
emphasis upon the necessity of, free
range for growing pullets, ler withaut
this the probability oe their matuaiog
before weather tonditions make it
necessary to put them into winter
quarters, is very small. ideal range
is to he fatted, in an orchard, aed, more
espeotaely when it has been 'seeded
dawn with alfalfa, clover, Or back -
wheat. Failing this, however, almost
any dry, well drained 1ari7d may be
utilized for this purpose, hut theenore
growing green feed and shade that
are available, the better. In the event
of there being no shade whatever, arti-
ficial shade nmst he provided; either
means a civa Qr salts, or by
putting up shelterof branches. If the
quantity -of growing green feed is lim-
ited, cut green feecl must be supplied
in large quantities, as this is a MOSt
economical feed for growing pullets.
On farms where teener sunflowers are
grown for ensilage, it is an excellent
plan bo turn the pullets into it as soon
as it is grown sufficienbly to provide
shelter. The backyard poultryman
who raises only a lirruted number of
pullets% can profitably plant a small
patch ef Jerusalem artichokes, or sow'
either eore or sunflowers in the yard,
arid by se doing will provide not only
shade for his young stack, but also a
valuable seerce of green feed.
Like all groeving stook, pullets con-
sume large quantities of food, and in
feeding them, 'nutritive value, palat-
ability, and etonceny must be consider-
ed. From the age of two months, until
they go into winter quarters, dry mash
in eele-feeding hoppers should be ,kept
before them toe:sten-ay. This Inaar
should consist of equal emits by weight
of torreneal, bean, shorts, ground oats,
and beef scrap, Better result:3 -will be
obtained if in addition to tbis thy
mash, a. semi -wet mash tonsisting
largely ef thopped green feed be given
twice aday, even when plenty of gra-w-
ilier green feed is available. The chop-
ped green feed for this mash may con-.
met et mangel tope, alfalfa, tlover,
eabbage leaves, torn tope, sunflower
tops, ete. Two parts by weight of this
green feed ,should be Inbred with ane
part of dry rea,sh (composed ef torn
-
meal, buelewhe.et meal, and barley meal
in 'equal quantities), and the whole
well mixed with half a part of .milk,
and fed in troaghs. If tizzy one of the
three ingredients of this dry mash is
not available, it may be replaced by
the dry mash used in -the hoppers.
In addition to the above mentioned
feed, a hopper of goad mared grain
and a. plentiful supply of milk, if pos-
sible, should he kept constantly before
eet life the tleee that

from underfeeding-, the breeder assum-
ing that they will get all the grein
necessary in the fields tvr on range.
A very common error is that oe leav-
ling the growing pullets in the same
quartere as the 'hens. A portable eel-
;
ony hose on skids can be made very
i inexpensively, and this should be
I placed well away from the poultry
I house for the summer months. It
should be dry, well ventilated, free
teem derieights and provide'd with
!roosts, and sbould ;be thoroughly disin-
fected two or three times each season.
It is absolutely imperative Met, the
pullets should not be overcrowded in
' their millinier quarters, Tor this will
seriously affect their development. De-
tails reef arding a colony house whicb
eau be used either as a brooder house
for the young chicks, a eolony SOT
growing stock, or a laying house for
twenty-five hens,, can be obtained from
the Ppaltry Division, Experhnenbal
Farm, Ottawa.
As stated at 'the cartset, given good
parent stock, good shady ranee, a well
balanced ration and cbnifortable hous-
ing will assure well developed'pullets,
which vrill lay early in the winter when
egg production is most profitable.
Tip Burn of Potatoes.
This disease is first seen on potato
•plants about the latter part of July,
with the most Severe effects from the
middle .of August to the first week in
September. The leaves exhibit a burn -
at their tips and margins, later
the whole top withers and the plant
dies prematurely. This condition is
mese notalele in hot, dry, windy wea-
ther and particularly timing periods
of dry and aunny weather following,
rain.
With regard to the tame of this dis-
ease, there is muth difference of opin-
ion, and several agencies have been
suggested as responsible for the beam-
ing of the leaves. The effect of es.--
cessive evaparation of water from the
eurfaee of leaves in extreme heat and
sunshine, with the consequent death of
,certain tells in the leaf, has been
suggested as the cause of tip burn.
Other authetities &aim to have defin-
itely demonstrated that the potato
leaf hopper is the cause of tip burn;
thins the name "hopper burn," which
is also applied: to this disease. More
recent investigators associate the leaf
hopper -with the disease, but claim that
there is sOMe "specific," either toeing
or extraneous, which- is transmitted
by the leaf hopper and is the direct
tause of the burning' on the potato
leaves. This was shoWie by the fact
that tip burn could he produced by
inoculating macerated leaf • hoppers
into potato leavee.
The regular Bordemix mixtuee spray
has been found to be beneficial in the
eontrol of this disease. Those believ-
ing in extreme heat and sunshine as
the priecipal teasel egency, aasociate
this control with the layer of Bor-
deaux mixture en the leaf acting as a
protection from severe evaporation.
Others claim that it destroys the hop-
pers and again the spray is also eup-
posed to act as a deterrent for hop-
per -4.
In any case the Bordeaux mixture
has been deetionstrated as ,capable of
arresting the development of the burn-
ing and this is but further proof of
the importance of careful and system -
atic „spraying a potato plants.

for use before their maturity are now.
ready for use and will soon be gone,
It is now time to plant more of these
for fall and winter use,
Winter eabbage plants should, be
set eut during the first part of July.
If you have not grown your . own
plante, be sure and purchitee Plants
of the winter variety, as the keeping
qualities of earlier strains are not
good.
String beans, peas, beets and sweet
corn are all fit for table use before
they reach Mei): matueity. A planting
of these now will insure a good supply
for table use in the fall. Probably
there is more Golden Bantam sweet
corn seed used for July plantings
than any other kind. There are sev-
eral varieties of string beans which
may be planted as late air July, as
nearly all kinds are fit for use in eix
or seven weeks from dtate af planting.
Beets, too, wile be fit for nee in about
the same length of time as the string
beans, therefore Mere are many var-
ieties ef them which may be sown in
July, but many gardeners believe the
long and haifelong kinds to be the best
to sow for fall and winter use. These
varieties may be sown even as late
as the very last of Suly or first of
August •
Don't forget a patch of turnips.
They are good as fertilizers, good fox
the stock and nice for the table, With
the exception of one or two of the
very early sorts, 'almost any variety
will do when sown in July.
In July, toe, should be sown the
winter radish. This, as its name im-
plies, is the =dishwhich keeps for
winter use. There are a number of
varieties ef these and they may be
had in three eolors—rose color, white
and black.
Sevise chalet, kale, kohlrabi, cern
salad, endive and parsley are some of
the other things we may plant in July
in our garden. These are perhaps not
as commonly grown as some of the
other things in oue garden, but you
will want them again, once you be -
emcee acquainted: with them. Swiss
hard and kale are used as greens
while young and tender. Later the
midribs of the Svriss chard are cooked
like asparagus or made into pickles.
Corn alad, endive and parsley are
used in sale& and in garnishing dish-
es. Parsley is also often used in
soups. Kohlrabi must be used While
young and tender. Later the bulbs
become tough and woody. These bulbs,
while yourig and tender, are sliced and
cooked like turnipe and are very
appetizing.

Preparing Lanclsfor Root
Cropa.
The land on which rODIS are to be
grown should be free from exceseive
moisture and should be in a good
State of fertility, For this reason, it
is best be fellow a 'clover croei. Two
methods et preparing lad for lead
erops have 'been followed at the Ex-
perimental Farm, leappan, NS". The
cue that bee given the best results is
to top -dress with earn -yard manure
On the clover aftermath at the rate
of 15 tons per acre on a, theee-Year
rotation, Plow the elover-inath under
with the mareuee to a depth of from
four to five inehea Top work with
double cat -away 'disc -harrow the re-
mainder of tbe season. In the spring,
as soon as the land is fit to work, giye
it one cut with the cut -away harrow
to loesen the sail, then cross -plow and
-follow agaim with the cut -away two
or three times or until satiseed that
the manure is thoroughly mixed with
the aail and that a good seed bed is
prepared. Put the smoothing harrow
over 'once to level the laed and make
it easier for drilling.
The second method is similar to the
-erst except in the time of applying
the manure and is used when manure
• is not 'available in early autumn. Pro-
ceed with the preparation a the soil
as directed in the first method and ap-
ply the manure either during the vein -
ter or the early spring if the fields,
are level. If the fields are sloping
or the soil is of a gravelly, open or
porous nature do not apply the manure
in the early fall or winter, but just
before 'cross -plowing in the spring,
otherwise part of its value may leach
away. '
In the first method the big advan-
tage is that the manure is applied
previous to the rush of work in the
spring. Furtb arm ore, it is &carper -
ated with -Me soil more thoroughly
than in the -second method and is
worked up toward the surface in the
• spring instead af being worked down,
as is the- case in the second method.
As root crops, such as turnips, swedes
and potatoes, -are shallow feeders, this
is an advantage, as the plant food is
more available for the crop. In the
ease of manges it is not so essential
that the manure be near the surface,
as they are deep feeders.
In preparing land for root erops it
is necessary to keep in mind the re-
quirements ,of the crap being sown as
well as the requirements a the toil
on Which the crop is being so-wn.
Roots, turnips and swedes are able to
eupply themselves with potash when
grown on fertile soil, :hat they cannot
appropriate the- combined phosphoric
acid. of the soil. Therefore, on ex-
hausted soil's the use of phosphoric
manure is essential in order to get a
fuli trop; superphosphate or ebasic
slag is recommended -and ehould,be ap-
plied at the rate of three hundred to
four hundred pounds of •supeaiphos-
phate or five hunclred, to six hundred
pounds of basic slag per acre, the
amount depending upon the fertility
of the soil. Mangels, on the other
hand, have a greater capaeity for
drawing food from the soil, including
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid,
consequently, an application of ni-
trate ef soda, say two hundred pounds
to the sere, in addition to the barn-
yard manure, will, generally epeaking,
give a full crap• ,

weeks of our heart's desire—three
days, three hours, even—are better
than three months of a ready-made va-
cation. Why will men and women not
listen while the heart still speaks
about these things? So soon it grows
a little tired, a little timid, a -little
einclifferent---and ready to leave the
choice of vacation to habit or ciretmn
stance, to the railroad oe the real
estate agent. * * * And a little later,

Marketing Dahl Products. -
The time has arrived when the pro-
ducts of the dairy farm must be mer-
chandised. While the 'conclusions of
our scientises have &early dernonstrat-
ed the absolute need of an abundance
of milk, of milk products, in Me he-
man diet, the fact still remains that
milk sulaetitutes are still being dis-
tributed where th,e products of the
dairy should be sold.
There is at least one reason for this.
These subetitute products are brought
to the attention of the public in en
attractive manner. The sanitary -con-
ditions under which they are manu-
factured are emphasized. The neat
package in which they are sold is
visualized on billboards and the print-
ed page. The best artists ere employ-
ed to bring together every device of
form and colee M order to make bhe
publie believe that here is a class of
products that shouldbe in every res-
peetable home.
While the dairymen has the advan-
tage of the scientiet's testimony, he
has failed to uee this testimony in
making his appeal to threw wile buy
the product. Consequently our &ire,
markets are suffering,. The present
dairy-matket situation is the result,,1
not of an over-supPlv 00 much as it
is an under -demand, The Canadian/
dairyman ten help his cause much
through the most insietent preaching.

Choosing Your Life Work,
Ocie ilife work should produce the
ma-ximum of two things; erst, of per-
sonal exijoeyment and, seemed, of service
to the community. Every boy before
he rnakee a choice of vocation should
clearly realize this. The wise -eelection
a business, profession, trade or occu-
pation, to Which his life is to be devoted
and the'development of fall efficiency
in the chosen field, are matters of
deepest Moment t;� him and to the
The unfortunate thing in the past
has been that SD many boys have not
made a definite choice of a vocation,
but have token the first "lob" that
offered and just drifted. Then in after
years have found themselves burdened
with a yoke. The yoke of uncongenial
work, of distasteful environment, of
in.efficiencY. of the .knowledgm that
they are only half the men they shoued
be either in personal development or
public service, How :any the boy
avoid being buedened with a yeke in
later years?
In the wiee -choice of a vocation
there ,are three„ 'woad factors: (1) a
clear understanding ef hims-elf, his ap-
titudes, abilities ambitions, interests,
reeemeees, limitations, and theit causes.
