to the report of the Superintendent,
for 1923. The potatoes, grown in a
three-year rotation, followed clover
after oats. A complete fertilizer mix-
ture was used, applied at different
rates. The results are given with
some reserve because only two years'
work has been done. It is concluded,
however, that the use of commercial
te ` fertilizer is profitable in the growing
of potatoes. The average yield from
all the plots receiving fertilizer was.

POULTRY.
Ordinary culling practices simply
involve looking the birds over at night
when they are on the perches and
eliminating those which are obviously
out of producing condition. It be-
comes, however, a much more serious
problem to attempt to handle every
bird in the flock, make a careful ex-
amination and make a final deter-
mination as to the fitness of the indi-
vidual for future breeding.
- Here is a simple practice which will
. eliminate the shock to the birds: Con-
fine the birds to the laying house the
night before they are to be culled.
This culling must be done in the day-
time when the birds' can be carefully
examined. Secure a large catching
crate. A good thing for this purpose is
a live -poultry -shipping coop, double
deck height, commonly known as a
turkey coop. Make. a hole in one end
of this et half the height of the coop,
about eight inches wide and ten or
twelve inches high. Provide' it with a
slide door.
Set this coop so that this opening
on the end is directly open to the hen
exit opening in the poultry house.'
Scatter a little grain in the coop. Open
the exit door and with a little en-
couragement the birds will pass out
the exit door and enter into the coop.'
When a convenient nirniher i thus'
confined, the exit door can be closed,
and the hens can be culled and taken
out of the coop through the door at
the top, one at a tune, handled care-
fully, examined in minute detail and a
determination made as to what is to
he done with them.
The culls can be cooped up in sep-
arate coops, ready to go to market,
whcreiis the good birds can be dropped
into the yard or, if their future guar-
ters'aro ready for thein, they can be
transported and put in their new
houses. •
If this operation is carried on in a
quiet, gentle way, the handling of the
birds et this season will be followed
by nc loss in production.
Call on the Surveyor.
The payment of two dollars for a
half day's work of a civil engineer
meant the changing of plans in drain-
age for my neighbor when he wanted
to put in a main tile outlet for his
farm. His eye- told him that the
water should go to the east, which was
in the direction of a river outlet, but
for some reason he consulted' an en-
gineer and found that the water could
as well go west and -save digging the.
trench and buying the tile for a good
many extra rods. The engineer sur-
veyed the - whole ditch and - left the
depth of cuttings every 100 feet so
there was no trouble to get the tile
in properly.
In my own case I had a drainage
problem and had two outlets that could
be used. One was a fifteen -inch tile
along the border of the farm and the
other an open ditch at the end of the
place..
My plan, as my eye told me, was to
run a main tile the length of the farm
along one side and drain into it with
cross ditches. But the surveyor soon
showed me that I could cross -ditch
right into the fifteen -inch tile and
save 110 rods of six or eight -inch out-
let. I had plenty of fall. Besides,
'large tile is a better .outlet than an
open ditch.
The saving is hard to estimate but
the cost in my case was $1.50.
A good many drainage jobs are

thought or planning. and surveyors
