Protection's Shoulders Are Sore,
Goyernor McKinley is terribly "worried. "Proper protection," he declares
vaguely, bnt loudly, from the house
tops, "mnst be restored promptly in
every industry that suffers from this
legislation." The governor of Ohio has
naturally been the first to cry out. The
McKinley industry and the Republican
party industry are the industries that
must suffer most The -wincing of the
galled protectionist jades is the best of
proof that the -withers of free trade Democracy have not been wrung.—Philadelphia Record.
The Space Required I"or Hocks—Bave a
Yard I"or Bach Variety.
Beginners are always uncertain as to
the space required for their flocks, and,
generally speaking, they meet with numerous failures because they attempt to
raise too large a number of birds in
limited quarters, overcrowding being a
widespread evil. On that subject of
"How Much Land?" The Poultry World
says: If only a small flock of birds are
to be kept, but little space is absolutely
needed for their accommodations. If
large numbers are to he tried-—with a
view to growing fowls and eggs for
marketing uses—of course mnch largef
space is required and a multiplied number of fowlhouses also, inasmuch as in
no case should a flock exceed 30 to 50
birds in one yard to be bred successfully.
It is much the better plan, howevei
great or small the numbers may be,
that the birds have a good free range
outside of the house limits. Where this
ample roaming space cannot be allowed
them the numbers kept together should
not be over 15 to 25 in a yard—say 16
or 20 feet by 12—at the very . least
Here, if well fed and kept cleanly, a
score of birds will prosper ordinarily
in a satisfactory way. If one desires to
keep more than one breed and wishes to
keep them in their purity, the space
named ought to be accorded to each variety, which should always be kept
apart from the others the year round.
A hen can take a great many steps and
do a vast .deal of scratching on a moderate space of ground, and the sooner people learn that they cannot raise the
grass for forage or the insects to supply
animal food in their poultry yards the
sooner will many begin to accomplish
good results who are now making failures in the business. So when ycji have
put your poultry into the best house
and yard possible to provide for them
remember anything they need '$cj ea$
must be supplied, or. disaster will he the,
crp^vning resulf of all your- efforts,
Apiateurs ask how many hens maybe
kept on a half acre or a quarter acre of
ground, as though the poultry yard was
to support the fowls in the sense that a
sheep pasture supports the sheep. But
this is not so. The yard is simply a place
for exercise, air and sun, like the playground of a school. There is little to bo
found, even in a large yard, that fowls
can eat, aud a large yard is about on a
par with a small one in this respect.
Fifteen or twenty fowls will soon kill the
grass of tho better species suitable for
their eating in a yard containing one-
eighth of an acre, and a flock twice as
large will eradicate all but the coarser
grasses upon a quarter of an acre if
they are kept confined in an inclosure
of that size. As for insect forage in a
poultry yard, it is very rarely that a
cricket or grasshopper is caught by the
fowls in their runs. Where the range
includes as much land as they choose to
travel over the case is different, but do
not expect that a poultry yard of any
ordinary size will supply forage for
your fowls.      	
One Irrigation Flan.
A correspondent of Kansas Farmer
presents his plan as follows.    He says:
It is all bosh to wait until the government makes the surveys. The government never made a survey that was
worth to the people one-half what it
cost. I would rather have a survey
made by a good practical man if he had
nothing more than square and plumb
than any government survey made by
the jobbist of any political party. My
plan is this:
Have the legislature pass a law making every county in the state an irrigating district. Make every main ditch a
public highway, located and controlled
the same as the highways—title obtained in the same way. All surveys
are to be made under the direction of
the county commissioners and county
surveyor and made part and parcel of
tho highway system. Raise a tax each
year to be expended on main ditches,
and in that way you will soon have a
system started, and each farmer along
the main ditches can commence at once
after the main ditch is established to
build his private ditches to "where he
wants to lead tho water.
Then again the body of subwater is
very large and very near tho surface in
most all parts of the state. With the
proper storage basins to catch the spring
rains, and one good windmill pump
running from January to June one can
get water enough to irrigate 40 acres,
and 40 with water is worth more than
160 without
Planting an Orchard.
Mr. Watrous of the Colorado station
says in regard to planting an orchard:
Leave a space of three feet wide each
side of the trees for cultivation and irrigation, the furrows being two feet from
the tree, as water should never be allowed around the trunks. Many people
meet with disappointment from the fact
that the trees do not commence bearing
so soon as the tree agent had given reason to believe. It mnst be borne in
mind that apple trees, according to varieties, require from 4 to 13 years to arrive at profitable bearing. Plums require from 3 to 10 years, grapes from
three to five and smaller fruits from
one to four years.
