HOW QIXTSHOULD HBN3 BE KEPT
The age toy which a hen may be
kept and still bVnrofltable as an egg
- producer Is deternunedJargely by the
' bird. I have owned hens that were
not more than two or three years ol 3
that were by no means profitable egg
producers, while othra were good lay
ers at three year, of age. I especial
ly noticed a Brown Leghorn hen
which laid eggs from early spring till
late fall the summer she was four yre
- old. She did not stop laying more
than a week at a time, and much of
the time she laid every day. When
considering the age to which a hen
is to be kept, the cost of raising a hen
nn to the time she begins to lay
- should be , considered This cost is
distributed over as many years as the
hen is kept and it is evident that with
' a hen kept three years the first coBt
will be only one-third of the hen kept
only one year. Hens cannot be expeo
ted" to produce eggs a whole year
without stopping and they eat 'the
year round,' but a grown hen does not
requre the careful attention when
not laying that a young chick does.

WHAT WAITS FOR THE BOYS

250 Per Cent Profit In One Year
The farmer who has every acre in
harness, well fed and properly cared
for, Is the man who is making his
farming profitable In these days. Tile
drainage is a wonderful aid in bring
ing many types of soil into proper
business relation with the farmer.
These Boils have, perhaps, been mak
ing only half a crop per year and on
occasional complete failure may have
resulted during- year when ordinary
conditions were the least favorable.

When you are a man farmer boy,
the farms In your neighborhood will
be better farms; they will be cultiva
ted better and" grow bigger crops; bet
ter live stock, and more of it will be
on them; there will be better build
ings, better roads, more machinery,
less hard physical work and greater
demands for clear accurate thinking.
All this means that the farmer of that
time will have o be a better farmer
than those of to-day and" this, in turn
means that right now, while you are
a boys if you would be one of these
good farmers, you1 must begin to pre-
pare yourself for it. You must lose
no chance to study, to acquire useful
knowledge, to keep yourself strong
in body and, mind, to form good hab
its. If you do these things, the future
is yours; if you do not, you will be
swept aside by the march of progress
and be one of the ''poor farmerss,"
the "failures." What are you doing
about it? Are you making the most
of your school, of the practical train
ing you1 get on the farm, of the booka
and papers you read? Have you ever
thought about a college course the
short course of agriculture, at least
and about the ract tnai a xraw
needs to prepare forr his work Just
as does a lawyer or a doctor? If you
begin your life work poorely prepared
the blame will be largely your own.

that he has something over 600 acres

he divides Into five fields, planting
two In oats, one. in rye, another In

bogs Into one of the oat fields and
allows them to remain - untl they
have grazed the field thoroughly. He
then turna the hogs into the other
bat field, sowing the first in an early
variety of peas. By the time the
second field has been tnorougmy
.grazed he puts the hogs into' the field
of peas, and later into the rye paten,
the rye having ripened by tnrs time.

Peanuts Instsad of Cetten-fteed -
Announcement , that an experi
ment of crushing peanuts with stand
ard Oil mill machinery at Magnolia,
Miss., has resulted satisfactorily is
likely to increase the interest in peanut-growing
in parts of the-south
where the ravages of the boll-weevil
have had their effect upon the cottonseed-crushing
Industry. The
grade of oil obtained from the pea
nuts is described its felng"g6od, with
the cake left In shape for stock-feeding
purposes. At a conference at
Jackson, Miss., last week of railroad
men, oil mill managers, and farmers
with the state railroad commission,
figures1 were made public showing
the loss in tonnage in parts of the
state-through the falling off in cot
tonseed Shipments, and the manager
of one oil mill expressed a willing
ness to pay ,75 cents a Inishel for all
peanuts raised. About a year ago or
longer an effort was made under the
auspices of the Board of Trade of
Little Rock to encourage peanut
WOWlng'Jn Arkansas. From time $o
time since then thp s,ubjqct has been
brought to the front, and it"begins
to 'appear that the success of ex
periments In crushing peanuts for oil
In cottonseed oil mills may add an
other great industry to the south and
Increase the value of the cottonseed
oil plants. .' .-

HOGS AND THE BOLL-WEEVIL.
In marketing a" carload of hogs at
Atlanta at a. nrofit of tnree cents a
pound. W. .1. Oliver, who lias a 3,0()0
aore farm at Shellmen, Ga., said.
Raise hog-s and corn and forget the
boll-weevil. 1 I
In explanation of his intention to
devote more time to hogs and less
time to cotton, if the boll-weevil is
as bad as it is painted, Mr. Oliver
gave the Constitution some explana
tion of his methods of farming that
result in sugar and" coffee. . .being
about the only things that his tea"
ants have to buy to eaL :He per
mits iio man who lives on the farm
to buy anything that can be raised
on the farm.' He' himself raises, in
addition to cotton and corn, wheat,
oats, rye, peanuts, sugar-cane, peas
and tjther crops. He has been feed
ing hogs for sometime, and always
has a year's supply of corn ahead.
His method of feeding is thus de-
acibed by the Constitution :
He so arranges his crops, he says.
that' he gathers nothing the hogs, eat
save the corn, which is fed to them
after they have been penned for fat-.,
tenitfg. The feed'they get for the re-1
is illustrated by the results in those
localities where this season'e crop
has lust been marketed." References
have been made recntly in the Manu
facturers Record to the advantage
nf cottonseedroll mills In tdevoting
their dull season of the production
of neanut oil, and the general merle
of this .oil. The Modern Sugar Plant
er, referring to the present 'Beaton,

The Immense ' demand for ProfeBBor
Blakeslee's pamphlet on peanut cul
ture, to be distributed to the farmer

stimulate peanut raising, is ' almost

have resolved on crushing peanuts
..." .. m t
as a settled policy, ine price
per bushel seems small, but at from
80 to 100 bushels and more per acre
that seems a very enticing crop."-
Since " liversifled farming Is now
an "established principle in the cotton-states,
and the demand for pea
nuts as a staple article of, commerce
Is likely to be largely increased by
the prospective action of the oil
mills in using them for oil produc
tion, it Is evidently, the opportune
time for a thorough examination of
the subject by those interested; "
