In the prize crop contest proposed by
the Barker Fertilizer Company and the
Agriculturist last spring, the grand
prize of S1100 in gold has been award
ed to Charles b. Coy of Aroostook
county, Me-, for the largest yield of
potatoes on single acre. The yield
was 7SS bushels twenty-five pounds of
the Dakota Red variety, cut in two
eyes, dropped twelve inches apart, in
rows 2 3-4 feet apart, on strong clay
loan, fertilized with 100 pounds of
Stockbridge potato manure in the drill,
and 900 pounds worked into the soil at
the fret hoeing.
Many manufacturers are making a
fertilizer containing large quantities of
plant food in unavailable forms, cost
ing but little, but such fertilizers only
serve the purpose of misleading The
chemists into giving high analyses and
valuations, and while the chemists may
be misled the crop never can be, and
the crop is the final arbiter. The best
special fertilizers are the cheapest in
the end, as "there is no cheating the
plant"
The manufacturers of the Stock
bridge manures claim to make these
manures of the very best material, and
that hence when put to the test, wheth-
er in field or laboratory, they seldom
fail to respond in a satisfactory man
ner, and as these manures in this trial
not only prodsced the largest single
crop of potatoes, but also the largest
crop raised on fertilizers in the oat
contest, it would seem that their claim
was substantiated by the field test,
which really is the only practical one.
Another important point in this con-
nection is that on the great majority of
soils, complete high-grade special po-
tato fertilizers, like the above, are
superior to stable manure for potatoes,
and as the largest yield on stable man.
ure either alone or with fertilizers was
only 491 bushels, it is no doubt true
that high-grade, properly made fertil-
izers are the manures for this crop,
both for producing yield and quality.

No branch of farming requires morS
painstaking care and acquired skill
than poultry raising. Yet this is the
branch of the farmers BUSINESS that
persons with the smallest experience
think themselves competent to UNDER
take. They suppose they know how
to feed chickens, and to put up houses
for them, expecting that with these at
tentions the fowls will do the rest. 1t
requires long experience to learn just
how to feed fowls. 1t depends much
on their breed, condition and the season
of the year. If so much skill were not
required poultry keeping would not be
the profitable business it is for those
who understand it. This is precisely
the reason why novices should begin it
with caution and learn as they increase
the business.

The general feeling among democrats OF The

question influenced 500 votes, though / am
