28 BULLETIN" 258,, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



Correlations. — Language : The pupils' reports provide written ex- 

 ercises. Drawing: Have pupils make a sketch of a turn plow, locat- 

 ing the parts — namely, handles, beams, share, moldboard, and land- 

 slide. History: Have some member of the class prepare and read 

 a statement giving an account of the community methods that have 

 been and are now employed in turning land, including the kinds of 

 plows used. Let this statement date as far back as reliable informa- 

 tion may be secured. Arithmetic: Develop problems showing the 

 economy in using large plows instead of small ones in turning land. 

 A man with a 2-horse plow can turn 2 acres per day at a cost of $2.50. 

 A man with a 1-horse plow can turn 1 acre per day at a cost of $2. 

 Find the difference in cost in breaking fields of 10, 20, and 30 acres. 



LESSON TWO. 



SUBJECT : POTJI/TRY. TOPIC : BROODING. 



Natural brooding. — The hen, the coop, handling the chicks, feed- 

 ing, keeping down lice, protecting from enemies. 



Artificial brooding. — The brooder, testing the brooder, removing 

 chicks from the incubator to the brooder, teaching chicks to find heat, 

 regulating the temperature, feeding. Fireless brooders — location, 

 teaching chicks to keep warm. 



Class assignment. — The teacher should read carefully Farmers' Bui. 

 624 and give the class notes covering the foregoing outline. See also 

 Farmers' Buls. 287 and 585. 



Practical exercises. — (1) Club members should provide brood coops 

 for their hens and chicks. See page 13, Farmers' Bui. 574, and page 4, 

 Farmers' Bui. 624. If artificial brooding is practiced, see pages 8 and 

 10, Farmers' Bui. 624. (2) Require pupils that have no projects 

 with poultry to submit written reports as to the kinds of brooding 

 coops used with hens, and in case of artificial brooding the reports 

 should cover descriptions of the brooders used. Successes and failures 

 in brooding should be noted and accounted for. 



Correlations. — Language and drawing : Have pupils write descrip- 

 tions and make drawings of the brooding coops used in connection 

 with poultry projects or used at their homes. Arithmetic : Find the 

 cost in labor and materials of the several brooders and brooding coops 

 reported. How many broilers at the prevailing price would be neces- 

 sary to cover the cost of each brooding coop? Does it appear to be 

 economical to provide good coops? 



LESSON THREE. 



SUBJECT : FARM ANIMALS. TOPIC : GRAZING CROPS FOR HOGS. 



Temporary. — The accompanying table suggests a series of grazing 

 crops that provide hog pasturage for almost the entire year. A selec-
