THE EXPERIMENT STATIONS. 
THE BULLETINS BOILED DOWN. 
Feeding Experiments with Laying Hens.—Bul¬ 
letin 106, New York Experiment Station. —This 
treats of the relative efficiency of whole and 
ground grains. In these experiments, two pens 
of laying hens, one of a large and the other of a 
small breed, having a ration the grain of which 
was whole, ate during their second year, some¬ 
what more food at a little greater cost than two 
similar pens having a ration in which half the 
grain was ground and moistened. Cochin hens 
having the whole-grain ration, laid much better 
than those having the ground grain, although 
neither lot laid at a profitable rate during the 
second year. Leghorn hens having a ration in 
which the grain was whole, consumed, on the 
average for two years, over 20 per cent more food 
than did similar hens having half the grain in 
their ration ground and moistened. The hens 
having whole grains had, on the average for two 
years, 6.4 pounds of water-free food for every 
pound of eggs produced. Those having ground 
grain had, on the average for the two years, 5.3 
pounds of water-free food for every pound of eggs 
produced. The hens were kept confined in yards 
covered with coal ashes. All the hens were fed 
sibly, account for their out-yielding the other 
kinds. 
I planted some in the garden, side by side with 
the Early Rose and Early Pride, on May 8. The 
rows were four rods long and three feet apart, 
and the single-eye seed pieces were placed exactly 
14 inches apart. The rate per acre was as fol¬ 
lows: Early Harvest, 577*4 bushels; Early Rose, 
440 bushels; Early Pride, 467*4 bushels. I bought 
the Early Harvest for an “extra early, earlier 
than the New Queen,’’ but it proves to be some 
later, but superb in every other respect. I have 
been looking the catalogues over as received for 
an extra early potato, and nearly every firm has 
one, about a week earlier than every other one. 
But as I “ have been taken in” several times on 
the “ extra early,” I am a little suspicious of 
fine illustrations and flattering descriptions. The 
advice of The R. N.-Y. to try the Bovee, was 
timely, however, and, probably, saved me from 
being duped once more, as I have decided to try 
this new potato in a small way next season. 
G. H. B. 
Chester County, Pa.—W heat and potatoes are 
nearly all marketed. Corn and oats are very 
plentiful and lower than ever before known. 
Plenty of corn stover, but hay and straw are run- 
twice each week all the cut fresh bones they 
would eat. During three periods, skim-milk was 
fed to each pen. Either green Alfalfa, cabbage, 
corn ensilage or soaked chopped hay was fed at 
noon. Plenty of grit and oyster shells were 
always on hand. Pen No. 1, Leghorns, having 
ground grain, the cost of food per hen per year 
was 84.27 cents, the number of eggs was 92.94. 
Pen No. 2, Leghorns, fed on whole grain, the cost 
of food per hen per year was 85.56 cents, the aver¬ 
age number of eggs, 77.03. Pen No, 3, Cochins, 
having ground grain, cost 102.22 cents each for 
food, and laid, on an average,47.51 eggs. Pen No. 
4, Cochins, fed on whole grain, cost for feed, 103.33 
cents each, and laid an average of 63.72 eggs. 
Pen No. 3 didn’t lay eggs enough to pay for the 
feed, and pen No. 4 but little more than enough. 
Taken together, the results from all the pens are 
in favor of the ground feed. With fowls at lib¬ 
erty, the results might have been different. The 
difference in results between the different breeds 
is also worthy of note. 
Grai>es for Tennessee.—Bulletin No. 4, Vol. 
9, Tennessee Station (Knoxville)— gives a list of 
the best varieties of grapes for cultivation in 
that State. The bulletin is well illustrated. The 
horticulturist of the station, R. L. Watts, gives 
the following list for the home garden which, he 
says, will give a succession, in Tennessee, from 
July 15 till frost: Early Ohio, Moore’s Early, 
Delaware, Worden, Winchell, Brighton, Brilliant, 
Catawba, Duchess, Herbemont, Clinton, Norton’s 
Virginia. Popular market varieties in Tennessee: 
Moore’s Early, Niagara, Concord, Delaware, 
Diamond, Catawba, Woodruff and Carman. 
NOTES AND NOTINGS. 
Let the Ground Rest. —I have always thought 
that periods of depression are good times to rest 
the land and increase its fertility by turning 
under a crop or two of clover. When prices of 
farm products are below actual cost of produc¬ 
tion, what sense is there in going to the trouble 
and expense of growing more than our actual 
necessities require ? Wouldn’t it best to cut down 
expenses by allowing the land to lie in clover, 
fanning only just sufficient to provide food for 
family and animals, until the next regular period 
of good prices came around, when we could farm 
the recuperated land for all it is worth, grow big, 
profitable crops, and fill up our coffers ? But we 
are reminded that taxes continue whether we 
continue or not, and that they must be paid. 
Why not draw on our reserve fund to pay them 
instead of growing crops at a loss ? 
It costs more than 15 cents to grow a bushel of 
corn, yet I can buy all I want at that price. 
Unless we are growing corn for a future market, 
there is little wisdom in growing it now; yet 
thousands on thousands of farmers who own 
their farms and have a reserve fund in the bank, 
are preparing to grow all they possibly can this 
year. They would do it if corn were worth only 
10 cents per bushel. Every man that plants an 
acre to corn this year, will hope that he will be 
able to sell the crop for 40 cents per bushel before 
next Christmas. The fact that he has athousand 
or so bushels in his cribs, and all of his neighbors 
are in the same fix, will not cast even a shadow 
on his hopes, or deter him from planting every 
acre he can. If the next crop be a light one, the 
price will rise; if it be big, the price will stay 
down. FRED. GRUNDY. 
Illinois. 
Potato Points from Huntingdon County, Pa.— 
Having a number of excellent varieties of potatoes 
on hand last spring, and wishing to decide the 
question as to which I should grow, or not grow 
hereafter, I planted April 20, one row 10 rods long 
of each kind, side by side, on a heavy clover sod; 
the land being a deep sandy and gravelly loam, 
in rows three feet apart, and the single-eye seed 
dropped so as to average 17 inches apart. Fer¬ 
tilizer only was used, and in the row, at the rate 
of 800 pounds per acre, and the cultivation, which 
was frequent and clean, was given with the cul¬ 
tivator only, never having a hoe in the patch 
after planting time. Here is the rate per acre, 
and in the order as grown, Early Harvest, 426*4 
bushels; Carman No. 1, 371 bushels; R. N.-Y. 
No. 2, 328 bushels; Great Divide, 306 bushels; 
New Queen, 295 bushels. The Early Harvest and 
Carman No. 1 were the least affected by blight, 
and are, all things considered, my choice of the 
whole collection. The Early Harvest being 
sprouted a little more when planted, (giving them 
a few days advantage in earliness) may, pos 
ning low. Winter grain is not looking overly 
promising. It is very noticeable almost every¬ 
where, that where ground for wheat received but 
one plowing, and that directly after harvest, the 
growth is much finer than where it received a 
second stirring. This seems to confirm the theory 
of intelligent farmers, that a rather compact 
seed bed, fined for an inch or two on the surface, 
is the best preparation for wheat. More failures 
have occurred in our county, and more money 
been lost by farmers, than in any year since 
1860. w. T. s.
