WHAT TO DO IN THE GARDEN.
The warm weather of the last week
?since the sudden melting of last
Saturday's sudden and unexpected
snow?has stimulated gardening activi
ties. and the sunshine and lengthening
hours of daylight make the work a
real pleasure. Seedsmen and dealers in
gardening implements report the usual
spring rush on in full force, and few
there be who. having available ground
enough to turn around on, isn't dig
ging that ground up and making ready
to plant something therein.
One young man of the writer's ac
quaintance, who has never handled a
spading fork, rake or hoe in his life
and who Mas" not in all his twenty
three or four years sowed or planted
anything, this spring has contracted
the gardening fever in its most viru
lent form. He has pored over gorgeous
ly colored and illustrated seed cata
logues and from the alluring pages
thereof has ordered seeds, bulbs, etc
n variety and quantity sufficient to
plant an acre or two, while his avall
?*>!?,. garden spiice ,B a 1<>t thjpty Qr
~Tt ,? lonK aPd twelve feet wide.
This is the mistake made bv a great
th?vJ? am,b,t'1ous amateur gardeners:
!v.h J ?i? m?re (|ian is possible,
and frequently the poor results of
Lh.eJ:'^?rASOUr the.m on gardening in
her-eas had they confined
2 S a we" chosen vege
tables and flowers they would have
?" that nould have hee" a
joy and a pleasure, as well as a source'
proflvand the>
gardeners rankS ?f the conflrmed
*

Many of the early vegetables should
be sown or planted at once. The sea
u, son is well enough
.riant At Once adv anced that
for Early Crops kmintr fros,s are
e ' not greatly to be
reared from now on; besides which, it
is a mistake to wait until May to plant
the seeds that are to produce the early
spring crops. Seeds of beets, carrots,
kohl-rabi, early cabbages, etc., may be
sown at any time now for the earliest
crops: Sow the seeds In the ground
they are to occupy. Carrots and beets
should be sown in shallow drills about
a foot apart, covering the seeds an
inch deep. If beet seed are soaked
overnight in water that is barely luke
warm germination will be greatly for
warded. As the plants push above the
ground, thin them out to stand about
three inches apart in the rows. When
the plants are several inches high, thin
again, leaving the plant six inches
apart in the rows. The young, tender
beet plants removed In the thinning
out process may J>e boiled and eaten
as greens, and they are mighty good
that way, there are enough of them.
Onion seed should be sown as soon
as possible. The soil for these must
be made as fine as possible and must
be highly enriched with well rotted,
crumbly manure; cow manure is best,'
as it is best for any kind of growing
thing that requires manure. Sow the
seed thinly in drills six inches to a
foot apart, according to the variety.
As the shoots appear and attain the
height of an inch or so, thin them out,
thinning again when they are three or
four inches high, until the final thin
ning leaves the onions about three
inches apart In the rows. For the large
varieties four or even five inches is
better. Keep the ground well worked;
weed by hand, so as to keep every
tiniest weed out of the onion bed, and
maintain a fine dust mulch. By fol
lowing these instructions onions may
be grown in one year from seed, even
the big, sweet Spanish or Bermuda
onions. Otherwise the gardener will
have to plant onion sets, which greatly
restricts his choice of varieties.
Sow lettuce, endive, romaine and
other salads right away, making the
seed bed flne and free from clods or
lumps. As the plants attain some size,
practice tying up the leaves, using bits
of raffia, so as to blanch the inner
leaves of the heads. The tying must be
done carefully, so as not to injure the
plants, but the trouble will be more
than paid for by the crisp, tender well
blanched salads to be produced in this
manner.

Early potatoes may be planted at
any time from now on. The ground
is in fine condition

things a bit. The snow of last Sat
urday disappeared so quickly that It left
little additional moisture in the soil,
and the warm, dry winds have further
dried things out. The spring rains
will come, however, never fear, and the
potatoes as well as other crops that are
in the ground when the rains do arrive
will get all the benefit.
Potatoes planted on ground where
green, growing rye has been turned
under make the best crops. If the
rye hasn't been sowed, however, and
therefore isn't available, manure the
ground fairly liberally with old.
strawy manure before plowing, or turn
the manure under in the rows after
first plowing.
Cut the seed potatoes so that each
piece will have one eye, and plant two
pieces to each hill. Some planters drop
three or four pieces, but this is waste
fu and does not bring additional yields.
Before the seed potatoes are cut they
should be soaked for at least an hour
or so In a solution of one part of for
malin or formaldehyde to ten parts of
water. In late years various fungous
diseases of potatoes have been im
ported into the United States, such
as scab, drj rot and various forms of
these diseases, and the formalin or
formaldehyde treatment Is necessary to
insure that the potato crop will not be

VALUE OFTRAP NEST
Device Keeps Accurate Record of
Laying Abilities of the En
tire Flock.
Loafers and Non-Productive Hens j
Easily Weeded Out by Simple
Tab-Keeping1 Scheme.
BY MICHAEL K. BOYEIL
'Copyright. 1915.1
It is not so many years ago that the
200-egg hen was a dream. And when
at last she was discovered it was "a|
case in a thousand." Now the 200-1
egg hen is almost a common article,
and efforts are being: aimed at the 300
egg mark among: regular producers.
At the Missouri experiment station a
fowl laid 281 eggs as a pullet. At the
Ontario, Canada, station, another laid
282 eggs, and this record was also
equaled at a recent Connecticut con
test. But It remained for the Oregon
Agricultural College to produce a hen
with a record of 291 eggs. Those are
wonderful results, but the Oregon sta
tion now has a hen that laid 303 eggs
in 365 days.
How were these facts obtained? There
can be no other method than by the use
of the trap nest. Without the use of
this device no definite data can be
secured. It is impossible to know
which hens are laying the most and
best eggs. All such conclusions must,
necessarily, be guesswork.
There are systems?by the examina
tion and position of the pelvic bones,
or the distance from the pelvic bones
and point of the breast bone?that will
enable us to pick out our best layers;
but those systems do not tell us how
many eggs the individual hen lays.
Trap Nest Surest Way.
It is not for me to criticise this meth
od. But when it gets down to the num
ber of eggs a hen will lay in the year
there is only one absolutely sure way,
and that is by the means of the trap
nest.
The American poultry world is well
acquainted with the name of Tom Bar
ron. Barron sent birds from his home
in England to a number of egg con
tests in this country, and came out a
winner. It made him famous. How did
he do it? He adopted the inventions of
American poultrymen?and worked th?
matter out himself.
Barron said: "We hear a lot about
Mendelism, but my Mendelism is the
wooden trap nest. I trap-nest abso
lutely to find out the sons of the best
layers. I like a good hen, mind, to
breed from, but it is the sons of i~e
best layers that the trap nest is useful
for, particularly, in my opinion. I think
the cockerel is without doubt more
than half the point, for the cockerel it
is every time that transmits the laying
qualities to the female, without a doubt
Time Well Spent.
When I hear the argument advanced
by poultrymen that they cannot afford
the time to look after traps I really
pity them for the ignorance of what is
good for them. The actual amount of
time consumed in looking after the
nests is the cheapest labor on the
farm. When it Is considered by the use
of traps it is possible to pick out me
drones and save the cost of feed they
consume?when it is proved that more
eggs can be gathered from less hens?
and, furthermore, when the trap nest
shows that it can select the winter
layers, the layers of the best sized and
best shaped eggs?and when it is able
to arrest the egg eater?surely the
profits that all this means more than
offset the extra cost of labor.
Until we had trap nests no one would
believe there was such a thing as a
200-egg layer. Until we had trap nests
there was no way by which it was pos
sible to improve the laying qualities of
our flocks.
Back in our boyhood days it was
thought that the great layer was pro
duced by pepper, ginger or some other
stimulating food. Pullets were iorcetl
for all they were worth, only to break
down when they became hens. The trap
nest has shown where all this is wrong.
It proved that layers are made more
1 by breeding than by feeding, although
the feeding part must not be over
looked.
The man who does not believe In
traps sees certain hens go daily on the
nest. They are at once classed as great
layers and bred from, when the chances
are that they are indifferent layers.
The trap nest has ferreted out the mat
ter. It shows that hens frequently
visit the nest, sit on it for quite a
while, but produce no eggs.
Trap nests prevent crowding in the
nest. One at a time is the order. When
open nests are used, no matter how
many are provided, the hens will crowd
upon a few and not use the rest.
The open nest becomes a nuisance at
the season when broody hens are about.
The broodies will occupy the nests and
the laying hens will crowd in and lay
their eggs. These eggs are gathered in
by the broody, and she hovering them
for hours, Imparts a beat sufficient to
stale them or start the germ growing.
Table egg customers get these eggs and
by the broody, and she, hovering them
a stale article. When trap nests are
used the hen that wants to lay ac
cepts the first nest she can get into,
and there is no more trouble. Hens pre
fer trap nests from the fact that they
give them a more secluded place.
Equipment for Poultry Raising.
The importance of having proper
equipment for raising poultry cannot
be overestimated. It is one thing to
raise a hundred chicks, but quite an
other to raise thousands. Each pre
sents different problems. Probably no
greater item figures as a factor in this
business than appreciation of the neces
sities of each case. Limited equipment
may be best for one problem; extensive
equipment absolutely for another.
The poultry raiser should study con
ditions. get the best information possi
ble and proceed accordingly.
Next week's article on this subject
will be worth careful study. Look for
it next Sunday, appearing exclusively
m The Star.
AN OLD-FASHIONED BORDER.
Blooms of Grandmother's Day Beau
tiful Feature of Small Garden.
Who is there who ever had a grand
mother who doesn't remember with
pleasure the flowers that used to bloom
in that grandmother's garden? Sweet
peas, sweet alyssum, phlox, zinnias,
petunias, larkspur, poppies. Canter
bury bells, rose mess, verbenas?all the
old-fashioned blossoms that used to
make the garden in the little counry
village a thing of beauty from early
spring to the time when the frosts of
autumn withered the last remaining
sweet Williams, asters, chrysanthe
mums and dahlias.
Such a flower garden is one of the
most beautiful and satisfactory fea
tures to be imagined for a garden of
today, and one of the easiest to have.
All that is required is a long border,
two feet wide, of reasonably good soil,
as much old, lack manure as is avail
ble, a little work and a few packets of
seeds. _ , .
The seedmen of today have developed
many of the old-fashioned flowers to a
point where they are almost unre???"

as grandmother knew them, and these

nuire some support and that should be
provided? or at once. These grow from
seed and must have fairly rich soil In
which to do their best. A sunny corner
of the garden, with, preferably, a wall or
fence to broak off the wind, Is the best
location. Keep the plot free from weeds
and water the growing plants frceb twite

mflkes a good support. Drive the stakes
into the ground to the depth of six Inches
and place the hoop around the clump of
plants so that as they grow the hoop will
hold them up. , . .
Dahlias are now grown from seed in
single season, and the variety of blooms?
in form, size and coloring?-is nothing
short of amazing. The seed should be
sown in rows in the open garden as earl}
as is safe, and the young plants require
about the same kind of soil and the same
cultivation as ordinary garden crops
potatoes. for instance. Dahlias gr??
from seed bloom late in the fall, and form
tuberous roots that may be taken up and
stored for planting the following spring.
