Fertilizers For Mhsat.

G. u. Thorne, director of the Ohio
agricultural experimental station, writes
that the experiments with wheat have
been Carried on by adding certain ele-
ments Of fertility. Nitrogen alone has
given the best results when compared
with the cost. To grow wheat by add
ing the chemicals to the soil is a finan-
cial failure. We must contrive some
way by which to catch and use the nitro
gen of the air. The great nitrogen trap
of the universe is clover, and the farm
er's success depends upon the judicious
use of this crop.
The outlook for the success of chem
ical fertilizers on soil for crops lies in the
combination of clover with phosphoric
acid and potash. With corn the results
are the same. w must get our nitrogen
cheaper than 10 cents per pound, but as
a fertilizer nitrogen comes most nearly
paying expenses. With oats and wheat
the results are about the same as with
corn. Each sho.ss a marked increase
with nitrogen. but none of them yet pays
when grown by it. To make it proita-
BILE the cost of production must be re-
duced. There is a hopeful outlook to-
ward making clover u nitrogen catcher.

Ono Kind of Economy.

The young man wanted to marry the
girl, but he was a reckless chap. spending
his salary up close, and the girls father
didn't like to take such a risk.
About how much do you save each
year?" he asked the youth, who had ap-
preached him on the subject.
Il should say about "a a year." he
laughed, for he was the kind of a young
man who thinks it's a wife's duty to teach
a young man how to save.
"Um-um-er," calculated the old man.
-Four dollars a year-four dollars a year.
Well, you can have the girl" he went on
briskly and in business tones, but you've
got to wait for her until you have saved
$1,000 0 That's the amount / determined
her husband shall have. OF course 1t will
take you 5000 years, and a good deal may
happen in that time, but your kind Of
economy, my boy, is bound to get there by
and by. Good morning. detroit Free

LAYING HENS.

Keeping Males With tho Laying Stock.
Some Observations on Feather Eating.
A recent bulletin from tho New York
agricultural experiment station is devot-
ed to a detailed report Of valuable praeti-
cal tests with laying hens. One Of theseex-
perinents was made with a view to fur
nish trustworthy information in regard
to the question of the relative egg pro-
ducUion of hens kept without and with
male birds. Observations were also
made ON tho vice or habit Of feather eat
ilg. Following are ID brief conclusions
drawn from thesa e;peri nents:
A pen Of pnilets kept viah5at y male
produced eggs at abcat 80 per cent less
cost than IN e~:zlcCly similar pen with
which acoekeIel was kept.
Another rei without 4 lDnlc rave dur
inc the first three roithen bottt thesame
p%roportionate excess of prodact over ~
exactly similar pen Win which a cock
erel was kept. After the development
of the feather eating habit the err pro /!
uct diminished, but daring oight months
the total egg yields for each pen were
very nearly alike.
In each of the two pens without male
birds some pullets had begun to lay
from to two months earlier than
any in the corresponding pens in which
male birds were kept.
While Feather eating" usually ap-
pears after feeding for any length of
time, an UNMARRIED ration deficient in
some constituents, more especially nj
trogenous matter, the habit has devel-
oped from idleness or some unknown
cause among fowls having a ration
which gave satisfactory results with
other similar pens of fowls fed at the
same time.
While the habit of feather eating can
be cured sometimes by a needed change
OF food and sometimes by other methods,
no method which necessitates frequent
handling of fowls will be an economical
one with ordinary stock. The vice is
very uncommon among fowls that have
exercise and a variety of food, and it is
most economical to prevent its appear
ance by careful feeding, but as the
spread is rapid even under q ration
which does not ordinarily seem to en-
courage its development the vice should
be stamped out by the death or removal
Of the first offender.
