C. until disposition Is made of the bird. With the young stock this constitutes removal of unthrifty birds. The pullets should be selected from the standpoint of size, relative rate of maturity, and health. On the other hand, with laying hens, other than the occasional removal of outstanding poor Individuals, the Ideal time for culling is at the end of the laying season, which runs from July to November. From July on the flock should be examined each month for the purpose of removing the poorer hens. Just how rigid the tullinc Is depends upon the desired reduction of the flock. The later culling enables one to be more exacting In the selection of the superior birds. Obviously It is to the advantage of the ponltryman to make more than one culling as he Is thereby able to immediately cut down production costs. Fertilizing Losses of Manure Are Prevented Losses of the valuable fertilizing constituents of manure through fermentation and leaching may be prevented to a large degree by hauling the manure to the fields as soon as possible after It Is voided. As far as may be practicable It should be Immediately spread and Incorporated with the soil. If there Is no danger of surface wash, It may be spread and left on the surface of the land. The application Is best done by the manure spreader. If season and soil conditions are such as to prevent this method of handling and distribution It may be piled in small heaps and spread In early spring. On sloping ground the dressing of manure should be reserved until such time as It can be Incorporated with the soil shortly following Its application, or surface drainage may cause valuable constituents to be carried away.

In 1920 nearly 40.000 acres were devoted to the crop of slicing or salad cucumber which was valued at nearly $7,000,000. This Is exclusive H the crop grown In greenhouses. Cucumbers are grown for car-lshipments In 20 states, but 14 states produce the great bulk of the market supplies with Florida by far the most important producer. Approximately CS.000 acres are planted for pickles. Businesj Increases, From a shipment of 3,G8 carloads In 1920 the business increased to nearly 8,500 cars In 1025 and 7.1S0 in 1920. "The present outlook for consumption does not warrant any great expansion of acreage." says W. Ii. Heattie of the United States Department of Agriculture, the author of "Cucumber Growing" which has Just been published by the as Farmers' department Bulletin 15G3-F- . "There Is need," he adds, "for more intensive culture and the production of higher grade table stock." The growing of table cucumbers is rather difficult, owing mainly to the prevalence of insects and diseases which must be overcome by spraying and by other special methods. The bulletin Includes descriptions of these difficulties and the methods of control. Returns from the cucumber crop average about $1S0 an acre, but production costs are high enough to limit profits. Intensive production of cucumbers under sash In the Norfolk (Va.) section and at other points along the Atlantic const Is fairly profitable, especially to growers who are giving the work close attention. Overhead sprinkler systems or subirrigation are In use In some places, and the tendency at present is toward the provision of all the necessary facilities for making a crop. Packed for Market. "Cucumbers should be shipped packed for the market, according to the United States standard grades," the bulletin says, "and under refrig eration wherever conditions require Early autumn is the time poultry raisers will usually find to fatten and dispose of advantageous surplus cock-erel- s as well as early hatched of a quality not desired In thepullets flock of winter layers. Market poultry prices are usually highest just before thanksgiving and Christinas. Another advantage in selling surplus stock fairly early in the season l found in the saving of considerable food material. Dr. M. A. Jull, poultry husbandman United States Department of Agriculture, recommends as a fattening a soft mash, measured by weight, composed of corn, four pasts; oatmeal", two parts; middlings, two p;irts, and beef scrap, one part. The ground grain should be mixed thoroughly and moistened with sour skim milk or buttermilk. Milk is excellent In fattening mixtures and about two pounds, or a quart, of milk is used to each pound of mash. Care should be taken not to feed the birds too much during the early part of the fatteniug period. For the first few days of this diet feed lightlv three times a day. For the rest of the period give the birds all they will eat three times a day but do not leave d it before them, A cockerel should add a pound in two weeks. Four pounds of the grain rttion may produce a pound gain. fatteners sometime? Experienced keep poultry on the fattening feed for as long as three weeks; but in most commercial fattening plants the birds are fattened for from eeven to ten days. There is often a difference of 5 cents a pound between the market price of thin and plump birds. However, farmers in many parts of the country may not find such advantageous marketing opportunities, and the prices received may not pay for the expense and bother of fattening the bird?. In such cases it may prove wisest to sell direct with no attempt to" fatten the fowls. Many such birds are bought at the markets by fatteners and conditioned and fattened for resale. How S. O. S.
