Potato Culture. 
Potatoes are unquestionably one of 
the most profitable crops the farmer can 
grow and he should investigate the mat¬ 
ter, do a little experimenting and see 
whether or not his land is adapted to 
raising them. With present day meth¬ 
ods and machinery the labor of planting 
and harvesting has been greatly reduced. 
Chief among potato planters is the 
Evans, manufactured by The Ameri¬ 
can Seeding-Machine Co., Incorpor¬ 
ated, Springfield, Ohio. This machine 
opens the furrow, plants, and covers 
the seed in the best possible manner— 
far more accurately than can lie done 
by hand. It has adjustable pickers that 
will handle all sized seed. Where arti¬ 
ficial fertilizers are to be used, an ac¬ 
curate fertilizer attachment can be fur¬ 
nished, which is guaranteed to sow any 
and all brands. The Evans Potato 
Planter will pay for itself in a single 
season where the acreage is sufficient. 
One man or boy can operate the Evans 
under all conditions of seeding. It is 
light draft, simple and strong. Send 
to the manufacturers for a copy of their 
Evans Potato Planter catalogue. If you 
want special information they will be 
pleased to answer your questions. After 
you have read this catalogue, go to 
your implement dealer and insist on 
seeing the Evans—the machine that 
must and will do all the manufacturers 
claim. Take no substitute. Get the 
Evans—the machine that “makes good.” 
THOSE $9 HENS. 
How the Returns are Figured. 
Having a new house finished, we 
placed 104 hens picked from our flock, 
selling all the others. We were then 
ready for business. The two years pre¬ 
vious to 1909, when there was any neg¬ 
lect to offer, we gave it all to the hens, 
but I decided to alter that rule. During 
1909 I neglected the farm, or anything 
except the poultry. Had any practical 
farmer visited me during that year I 
would have hesitated to show him about 
the farm. I will not try to describe it, 
but let anyone imagine what they choose 
and chances are 10 to one they will un¬ 
derrate it. During the Spring months 
we used 2,740 eggs in incubators and 
1,198 were used by the family During 
1909 we enlarged the henhouse and when 
the pullets were old enough, we placed 
them in the large house, having had 
them in colony houses after leaving the 
brooders. The first 60 chosen laid 480 
dozen eggs by January 1, 1910; and 
all we kept, old and young, 267 alto¬ 
gether, laid 153 on that day (January 1, 
1910). The egg record shows the 104 
old ones and the pullets raised from 
them had laid 21,464 during the year. 
There were, to be exact, just 175 pullets 
kept; that is the most we found good 
enough to keep from 2,740 eggs set, and 
were bemoaning our ill luck, but I will 
submit the figures taken from account 
book: 
Eggs actually sold.$481.87 
Poultry actually sold. 185.84 
Eggs used by family (1198). 33.10 
Poultry used by family (10 head)... 10.00 
Increase of voug stock (175 head). 175.00 
Droppings (9600 pounds during the 
year) . 96.00 
Total .$981.81 
The young stock I valued at $1 each, 
and surely any pullet that is laying nicely 
on January i is worth a dollar. The 
droppings I value at $20 per ton, as I 
think it worth more than some fertili¬ 
zers sold, at $35 per ton. The eggs used 
in house* were valued at same price as 
the others averaged. I did not try to 
see how much I could figure in as 
profit, as I think it very foolish to try 
to fool yourself; it is nearly as bad as 
stealing sheep from your own flock. 
I was greatly surprised to see the total 
so high, but could make nothing else 
from the books. I am saying nothing 
about profit, as I don’t know, for the 
reason that we fed two horses, one cow, 
and raised 11 pigs, beside one old hog, 
all from the same grain bins. 
As nearly as I can figure, the old hens 
averaged 164 eggs each, which number 
seems to be beaten by any number of 
individual hens, but I see no record of 
a whole flock doing better, except the 
flock kept by Prof. Gowell. I am send¬ 
ing statement as I think it should be, 
but I am more than willing that anyone 
will show where I am wrong, as 104 
head was my entire flock on January 1, 
1909; therefore, every bit of the income 
must be on this account. I gave the 
hens the best care I could, and also the 
best of feed. I use no mash, wet or 
dry, as I wish to save the time, al¬ 
though 1 must admit that hens do better 
on a warm mash once a day. I will 
admit the amount seems large, but we 
were continually bemoaning our luck 
because the eggs hatched so poorly, so 
you will see how hard it is to satisfy 
some persons. 
Our feeding system is as simple as we 
can make it; usually dry oats for break¬ 
fast; at noon time we give about one- 
quarter of full feed of wheat, barley or 
wheat screenings. At night they have 
all the cracked corn they will eat, and 
no scratching to find it, as I want them 
to go to roost with a full crop. I have 
a long trough to feed that in. The noon 
meal is more to keep the hens busy 
than to feed them. During the Winter 
months I use cabbage and mangels for 
“green food.” During Winter of 1909- 
1910, 267 head devoured 90 bushels of 
mangels. I use the Golden Tankard, as 
I think it colors the yolks of the eggs 
much better, although any variety is 
good. If there is any shortage of green 
food I use cut clover, used dry. I 
keep no roosters with the stock that lays 
eggs for the market, and breeding stock 
is separated from the market stock. 
I started with intention of keeping 
Leghorns only, but found the White 
Wyandottes did better in eggs during 
cold weather. I changed to them. I 
had customers for Leghorn eggs, and 
when I changed they refused, point 
blank, to take brown eggs, so I lost their 
trade. I had no trouble to sell all the 
brown eggs I could get, but found a 
number of people who would pay five 
cents more per dozen for white eggs, so 
I put Leghorns on again. Now we keep 
two kinds, but each is by itself and not 
mixed. Some customers we send mixed 
eggs and hear no complaint. W.J.dougan
