With very prolific varieties, on the other hand, one must continue shor- tening leaders for several more years; oalhere 'will be no growth at alland the trees will overcrop and become stunted.

A great part of the value of keeping cream cool on the farm and at the sta- tion or creamery is lost if the cream is exposed to the direct rays of the sun while being hauled from the farm to the paint of sale. Far too -few people stop to realize tluaimportance of cover- ing their cream cans when bringing them to town. Exaensiere jacketked cans are not a necessity to keep the cream cool. In summer weather just an or- dinary place of wee burlap thrown over the cans will keep the temperature of the cream as muoh as 20 degrees below What it welled rise to if left uncovered while being transported over the aver- age hauling distance. Men do not farra themselves into ,riches in one year. It takes time, Patience, perseverance and ability to make farming pay. But what other oecupation offers anything for less effort? The farm is about as profit- able as othar bueiness requiring no more capital, inteleigence or labor. - The man who hinks that a dairy cdvv can rough it and still be a pro- fitable milker has some things to learn about cows.

R..Smith, Author and Practical Poultryman). "Well begun, half done." Such a proverb will well apply in the mat- ter of winter egg production. Get- ting the young females started right will save time and money. It is nearly half the battle. The man who thoroughly studies this phase of the winter egg proposi- tion and puts his findings into practice at this season will be a winner. Nothing but higheciass stock should be permitted to scratch in young lit- ter this wintess. The bird that will not lay eggs must not eat grain at such time as this. Spot her quickly and send her to the shambles as a sub- stitute tor "red meat." You will make more money that way than by giv- ing her free board for the next le months. Five non -producers in a unit of 20 Will swing the balance to the wrong side of the ledger, and not only put you out of business, but rob a heroic hernia guard of meat food in the form of "A -No. 1" eggs. Those five hens ought to lay two and a half eggs every day, but they fail to do that and in ad- dition each day nearly the value of the same number of eggs. The "cull" is undersized, crow - beaked, mis-shaped, pep -less, and shows nuMerous and well -marked sigris of degeneracy. She is as little value to your flock as the human de- generate Is to the body politic. We must take sensitive and sympathetic care of the human's of this class, for we are Ohristians, but a chickenenust be handled on the eanee principle as a hill ot corn. The non-productive must be "removed." It cumbers tlfee ground. AS TO WINTER QUARTERS. The pullets should be put into their permanent winter quarters two or three -weeks at least before they reach full laying maturity. Fowls are peen- larly sensitive as to their living Wades. The "home" of a hen is the pole on which roosts. A forced change from one sleeping place to an- other is a serious Jar to her nervous system. The result is that the repro- ductivle prOcess are instantly checked or fully arrested until she becomes ac- customed to the new quarters and re- acts to the changed home environ- ment. If your pullets have cOme to full lay- ing maturity and are yielding YOu a 75 per cent, record before you put them Into their pernNnent winter laying house, they will be quite certain to VIM* DRS.

Get your shock -absorbing system well organized. Preparations should be so thorough for the coming months thee practical. ly no changes will need to be made after the birds are'placed in their win- ter home. Never forget that every time you enter the laying roam of a flock of hens and make any material changes, especially in the sets and roosting arrangements, You do it at 'the sacrifice ef eggs. I once had a flock of 15 thorough- breds in a well-erelipped laying house, It was in midwinter, but every hen was in the pink Of condition and lay- ing eggs with clock -like regularity. One day I made a radical change in the character and positions of the nests. Within 72 hours after the new nesting system was installed every hen had stopped laying, and it took me three long weeks to get them back to their former egg record. I lost about 200 eggs by the blunder. If the same error had, been made with 1,500 hens, instead of with 15, my arithmetic teaches me that I 'would have lost 20,000 eggs, the market value of which should he nothing short of $1,000 at the present time. • Such an experience should write in large letters the importance of perma- nent arrangements from the first. Spray for mites and lice before you put the pullets in. Improvements, painting, white -washing, laying the litter -:everything should be in the same condition in which you expect to keep it all -through the winter. FOOD IN ABUNDANCE. A fowl is a mere machine for the manufacture of egge. You get out what you put in. The bird that is. given a ration that is deficient in quality and quantity must not be ex- pected to lay eggs. Her body is busy taking care of itself. Give her more in quantity and quality, and she will. not only build a eplendid animal ma- chine for you, but she will use sur- plus energy in the making of eggs. This is the secret of the "mating season.' Food and temperature in the wild ef nature make it impossible foe the bird to aio more than sustain her own body during the rigors of winter. When thesspring time conies the warm weather and an abundance of food make it possible for the bird to more than sustain her body, and therefore the reproductive functions come into full .operation. It is up to the poultryman to feed his birds so aboundingly and to furnish, them such bodily comforts both day and night that the "mating season" will continuo without a break from the day ef egg - laying maturity in the fall till the molting time comae ten Months later.
