successfully reared. White Leghorns are
kept exclusively, and the design is to
have 25000 laying hens on the farm
The enterprise has abundant capital
and the most skillful business man-
agement back of it, and it will be
run carefully for the production of
of broilers and eggs. The location is ad
-mirable, for in that dry clean sand
well-nigh perfect hen-health may be
expected.

Volunteer, Ellen Farquhar, read that
that if salsify seed was planted in
September it would grow larger than
if planted in the spring.

Forethought

This is a busy month.
Keep everything growing by thorough
working; cabbage can still be set out
and hurried along. It will make food
for chickens if not for people; attend
constantly to celery to make stocky
plants for hilling. Keep Lima beans
gathered unless you want a quantity
to go to seed for winter; work straw-
berry beds. In the flower garden, pot
plants for winter. Work in bone dust or
any good fertilizer around rose bushes

Prepare the ground this month for
planting bulbs in October.
