Barnyard vs.. Chemical Manure.

The Homestead
While we always advise farmers to
make and save all the manure they
possibly can, husband it with rigid
economy, and in addition thereto
pillow under green crops as often as
they can afford, there is still a place
for commercial manures upon all
lands that have been robbed of their
virgin fertility, or SO far reduced that
they will no longer produce maxi
mum crops. In giving the results
of some elaborate experiments with
fertilizers on farm crops, Prof. At
water, as good authority upon the
subject as any man in the whole
country, thus states his conclusions:
"For general farming at distance
from the large markets, the chief use
of commercial fertilizers should be to
supplement the manure on the farm.
The right way Is TO make the most
and best manure that is practicable
upon the farm and. piece out with
such commercial fertilizers as eX-
periments and experience prove
profitable. AT the same time there
are many cases, especially near cities,
where everything depends upon get
ting the largest and best yield, and
where more exclusive use Of chemical
fertilizers is advisable. Either the
combined testimony Of these expert
ments, similar ones elsewhere, and
the best experience, are totally false,
or chemical fertilizers bring larger,
better and even surer crops than
farm manure"
The trouble with manure is that il
may give US an abundance Of certain
elements Of plant food, but not just
what is needed to give large yields.
In commercial manure we are able
to supply just what the crop demands
in available condition.

Nutritive ratio, to 5.3. The corn
meal, bran and cottonseed meal
should be well mixed together dry,
and all well mixed with the moisten-
ed cut hay. This should produce
rich milk from good Jerseys.
The ration may be given in two or
three feeds, smallest at noon, and it
constitutes an entire days ration
without any other food. H. p. should
test his cows for butter by setting
the milk of each separately for two
days, raising the cream and then
Churningit to butter in asmall churn,
made by using dasher in a small
crock. He can test two or three cows
at time. This test is best made
when the COW is in full milk. This
will show him which of his cows give
the richest milk and which pay the
best profit. He can then retain those
that pay the best, and sellthe unprof-
liable ones.

Taking Up Carpets.

When the carpet and straw have
been removed, before attempting to
sweep up the dust, scatter good al
lowance of damp sand over the floor !;
and you will find that it can be thor
oughly cleaned without raising dust.
This is vast improvement on the
old method of filling the house and
the lungs with dust every time car
