GIVE HENHOUSE A GOOD CLEANING.

When poultry housos were small and dark and the hens roosted on a stepladtler system oi roosts, little attention was givon to sanitation. The droppings wero allowed 1o uc~ beneath the roasts and there was little scratch- ing place for the hens that was fit for the purpose. But farmers have found two things that are true, Hens in clean houses keep in good health. And poultry manure is valu- able as fertilizer. So it; pays to keep tho hen houses clean.

The dropping boards should bu cleaned frequently enough to kecp the housc frcc from odors and pre- vent much dirt from ilccumuluting Tho mnnuro should not bo tiumpotl lust outside the poultry houso, but stored whore it will not be wastori or immodintoly spread on the fiolds or qgurden. Sonic pouitrymen clonn the boards cvery day, others do it about- once evcry week. A great doul depends on the number of birds in the house and tho time that can he tievotcd to their care. 1 We fi-nd that the commorciul coal tar disinfectants which can be dilut ed with water um much (‘heapin- than kerosene oiiior spraying n poultry house.

of keeping down iioc and mites for

This will destroy nests and kaop tho nests in condition so the hens will use them. .

All the fowl hoppers, and water stands can also b0 carried from the house. And when tho poultryman is ro zdy to fight the pests with the spray rod he has nothing in the way. Then tho inur walls, the floor, the coiling and the roasts and dropp pg boards can he given tho kind oi bath which illlllwfl Ulflm clean and ‘sanitary This treatment keeps pests from becoming estab- lished and makes poultry keeping so much enslor and proilta llG that it is worth all the troublo. if we begin curly to fight iicc and mi-tcs, ' tho suunuor poultry work will not izu-ludo fighting those posts that bro..i so inst during tho hot wrath- er. ii.G.l{.

OF INTEREST TOFARMERS,

THIE SUMMER CARE OF THE BTRNWBERRY PLANTATION

Tho struwborry plantation very ofton receives little attention dur- ing tin» first year, resulting in much disappointment in crop tho following souson. Woods or grass, if allowed to grow, take up nou- rishment that should go to the do» Velflbment of good strong plants, without which abundant crops can- not he ‘hoped for.

The usual system is to grow the plants in a matted row. The plants are set about fourteen inchos apart in the row and from thoso runners develop iorming a‘ number of plants. There runners should he bandit-ti bofnro they strike roots so that the plants will not be hunchod together. The plants should be spaced about six inchos apart, and the row allowed tn form about twolvo to fiftoon int-hos wido. lt is wise, in cultivating, lo run the cul- tivator always the one way between rows as in this way the rooting runners are not so liable to be dis- turbed. The cultivator will tend i0 draw th o runnors lengthwise of the row so that they require loss handling and will form a better row than if atlontitm is not given tn this (iatnli. The strip of plants gets wider and widor, from thi- ruunors sending out now loicrnls: and plants forming, so the culti- vaicd space between tho rows br- comos corrospontllngly narrower and nnrrowcr, making it nccossnry to use care in closing up bho culti- vator, or in not cultivating too close to the rooting plants.

It should ho kopi in mind that tho older plants lmvo tho host tiovvl- opmcnt of roots and crown and every rsro should bo givon not to disturb lilo eurly-roototl plants by carsloss handling. it will in» soon, therefore, that, as soon as tho run- ncrs commonca to forum, tho only way to keep tho. purl whcrv thr- plunts are growing troo from woods is by hand work, hcncc t-ho im- portance of being thorough with tho curly cultivation, koeplng the ground mellow and destroying weeds that may start at tho.
