a crop, A lupuraHt crop will always
contain more water tlan ono IN lesn nc'

instance, often contain only six per cent.
of dry matter, while In quite snail
roots the proportion may DO u, high ~
fifteen per ceat, Luxurance also re-,
tards maturi5. 4 heavily manurcd
mangel will contain, a. the same date,
n much smaller proportion ofsugor than
II similar maOgcl grown on poor soil,
The result OF high mauur'ng Is thus not
only to increase the bulk al tho crop,
but also generally 10 diminish tho pro-

The various preparations OF pure
bones, selected and prepared, as crush
cd, formulated, hoao meal, 0,c., for
feeding to poultry, are becoming oach
year more popular and deservedly no.
The experience Of nearly every one who
has given them Il faithful trial has boon
such as to make them constantly
patrols OF the mos. reliable yenders NJ
being invariably found that by judi
cious use OF broken rground new bone
the fowls arc healthier, more prolific,
stand confinement better, aud acquire
less bad habits by confinement. Chick
ems fed OH these preparations to The
proper extent will grow much better
size, the uso OF the bono having the
effect to postpone the timo when the
bones harden or, in common phrase,
set Chicks are, therefore, such for n
greater period, and may be kept growing
for longer time by the use of bone
preparation. ---Nem l'mk Poultry Jow'
