Let us see what some of the individual poultry women are doing in this community. Mrs. A. Nasenius, has a flock of White Leghorns, numbering about 100 hens. Mrs. Nasenius gives them good care. She does her hatching by incubator and the young chicks are reared in brooder houses. She believes in hatching early so that the pullets will begin laying in the fall, hence insuring early winter egg production. For the twelve months ending Octoberl, she sold 19,346 eggs from her flock of 100 hens, the total receipts for these being $734.80. During the year she has purchased feed amounting to $214.70, leaving a net profit of $520.20. Her average egg production was 193 eggs per hen. Mrs. J. P. Peterson has a flock of about 200 hens. For the year ending last September 1, her receipts were $1,122.19. Of this $495.68 was spent for feed, leaving yean at Madison Square Garden.

Now how has this all been brought about? There is but one answer—education. So great had become the interest in poultry •in that section that on September 6,1915, Strawberries Are Fine. If at a meeting at Barnum , the entire community voluntarily voted to place its poultry work under the direction of T. F.. Chapman, poultry specialist at the Minnesota Experiment Station. They agreed to follow suggestions offered by Mr. Chapman, and Mr. Chapman was anxious tn co-operate in proving what can l)e done with poultry; not alone for the town of Barmim but for the country at large. Mr. Chapman frequently sends poultry specialists into the community to advise with the farmers, to help them with their records and to aid them in meeting any problems which might arise. a Mr. Chapman advises units of 100 hens. It has been proven that in order to be sure of 100 strong health y pullets 400 eggs is the necessary number to incubate. Consequently the 390 egg incubator has. been adopted by nearly everyone in the community as being the one most fitted to their immediate needs. Brooders arc used in rearing most of the hatches and colony houses for the young stock are in general use. Culling is rel igiously practiced. This community has no sym pathy for the lazv hen. There is still another to thank for his contribution (o the success of poultry raisins in this ccnimiinitv. He is Hugo Anderson. This winter Mr. Anderson has a flock of 4,000 purebred White Leghorns and for several years has sold baby chicks to the surrounding district. He has incubator capacity for 14,000 eggs and during the year 1919 he sold 50,000 baby chicks—nine-tenths of them in the Barnum community. Mr. Anderson has all modern buildings on his farm and many of them are used as model poultry houses for that conimunity. So we have four factors contributing to the development of the poultry' industry around Barnum. First there was Mr. Hanson who came forward with the marketing scheme, which practically built Lawn Seeding. There is not much danger of frost interferring with the growth of grass. Lawn seed should be sown as soon as the frost is cut of the ground. Blue grass requires several -weeks to develop, You Want Some For Next Year Order Your Plants For This Year's Planting * and unless!it is sown early it will lose the advantage of the spring rains. If you miss the early rains, it is very often better to wait for.another rainy season later in the season than to try to seed in the drouth period which so often follows the spring rains. To develop the besf lawn , one with a' soft, springy turf which will resist drouth and stay green in the heat of the summer, only land on which a cultivated crop has been grown for one or two years should be used. The next best thing is land which was plowed or spaded deep in the fall , left rough over winter and raked smooth in the spring. If greater speed than this is desirable, the ground may be worked deep in the spring and seeded at once. This does not make as good a lawn, but the grass will grow and may do fairly well if the summers are not too dry. Two or three inches of black topsoil is a big help but not always essential. Some fairly good lawns have been made on sand or red soil without black dirt or previous cultivation but it is an emergency makeshift and not a good practice to follow. Do not walk or drive across your lawn, either new or old , when it is just thawing out in the spring. Rough tracks and ruts made at this time are verv hard to get out. *XMakes Its Own Gas flRSj-fi /oru>f oorth the coat of city gas.
