COST OF FERTILIZERS.

Estimating the value of whole bones
at $40 per ton and the cost of grinding
the same at $40, will make the cost Of
one ton of ground bones $40. Suppose
on average ton Of bones to contain
sixty pounds of organic nitrogen and
400 pounds of phosphoric acid. Now,
375 pounds of nitrate of soda will
furnish sixty pounds of nitrogen and
131 pounds Of soda; 1850 pounds of
powdered phosphate CT lime will furn-
ish 4O5 pounds of phosphoric acid and
will cost. with nitrate of soda at 2!
cents pound andpowdered phosphate
of lime at three-fourths of cent
pound, $19.4 The nitrogen in nj
trate of soda is in it's most valuable
form, and there are also 131 pounds of
soda, which is not to be had in bones
alone. The phosphoric acid in the
powdered phosphate of lime is more
available than the phosphoric acid in
ground bones because the powdered
phosphate of lime is in a much finer
state of division than ground bones. -

THE CROW ACCOUNT.

Now kindly word for the crow, a
bird which / consider the farmers
friend for-excepting the short season
in early spring when he may occasion
ally rob the mother hen of one of her
darling chicks, or, possibly, her nest
of an egg-the greater part Of the year
hisfood consists largely OF the farmer
enemy-the grasshopper, the cricket
and the worm. [ have seen in the early
autumn a flock of crows in meadow
spread out in line, marching along and
devouring grasshoppers as would a
flock of young turkeys, and could the
farmer keep a correct account with the
crow / think he would be surprised at
the end of the year to see how much he
would have placed on the credit side of
the birds account and how little to the
debt side. Try the coaltar on your
seedcorn, and let the crow live and
continue his good work.
After the seedcorn is shelled, take
say peck at q time and place it in a
pail, or, better still, an old-fashioned
tin dishpan, into which drop small
quantity of coaltcr, say q tablespoon
full at time, and with stick stir the
corn until each kernel IS completely
coated, adding enough of the tar from
time to time till this is accomplished,
but using no more than is necessary to
do this. Then sprinkle common plaster
on the corn and continue stirring until
each grain is covered with the plaster,
when the corn can be handled and
planted as though it had been simply
rolled in plaster alone. Plant after it
has been thus treated and you can rest
assured that no crow will pull the

FERTILIZERS FOR ROOT CROPS.

All kinds of roots are benefited by
q liberal dressing of salt; mangels,
especially, are increased in product by
it. The quantity usually applied is
900 pounds per acre, sown broadcast
as soon as the young plants appear.
Superphosphate Of lime or finely
ground bones is also an excellent ap-
plication, and is usually scattered on
the narrowed ground before the seeds
are sown; the sowing by the drill then
mixes the fertilizer with the soil, and
by the time the plants have made a
start it has been dissolved and well dis
tributed. For turnips liberal guam
tity of plaster (gypsum) will be found
useful. Turnips and cabbage are i'm
proved in growth considerably by this
fertilizer, doubtless because it furn
ishes the sulphuric acid which these
plants contain. Plaster is sulphate of
lime, and contains 45l per cent. of
sulphuric acid and 324 of lime; the
rest is water, and hence it is found
useful for all crops that contain sulphur
to an important extent. York

POULTRY ON rHE FARM,

Keep the hen house cleaned and
whitewashed, writes Mrs. N. c. Spark
man. Let the fowls have pure, fresh
water to drink, summer and winter.
Keep the vessels clean, scalding them
once a week with cold lime water; it
should be warmed in cold weather,
given to them morning, noon and
night.
On rainy days, and when the ground
is covered with snow, contine them in
the house; other days they should run
at large and have access to the woods
and orchard.
Scatter wheat among the leaves, that
the fowls may scratch for it this keeps
them busy.
In the morning feed half gallon
of soft feed, consisting of table scraps,
meat and potatoes mixed with wheat
ground coarse; feed to them warm.
For change | scald bran, mix corn
meal with it.
Have straw or leaves on the floor !;
at noon scatter wheat, rice and pop
corn broken in pieces over the straw
to give them exercise; give them a full
feed of corn at night Give them burnt
bones and pottery we'll broken up. A

The Brown Leghorns are very good
breed, and will lay from 100 to $50
eggs each in a year.
Set one or two hens the last of Feb
ruary for early use, not putting many
eggs under them. Have most of the
chicks to come out in April they grow
faster and give less trouble. If Matched
in April they will begin to lay in Octo-
ber If they are well fed and attended
to they will do to fry in six to eight
weeks Bake corn bread for them i;
feed four times day; when larger,
give cornmeal dough mot too wet, J
wheat and vegetables. Milk is very
good: if too sour, scald it. Very salty
food will kill them; little is bene-
fetal
Have plenty of fruit, summer and
fall. After the garden vegetables come
in, give them lettuce, mustard, cab
bage; chop onion tops and mix with
their feed. Do not use much stimu
lants, little red pepper fed OCCASION
ally is very good.
If they are thus fed and attended to,
they will not have lice; cholera, gapes,

fed in warm weather unless the season
is very dry. A house ten by twelve
will be large enough for thirty hens !;
made so as to have it tight in winter

CROWS IN THE CORN.

The best way to prevent crows pull

tar, but if this has been omitted, tWlne
stretched about the field four or five
feet from the ground is the best form
of scarecrow. Crows will keep away
from a field protected with Irvine, as
they seem to fear flying against 1t.
Small wrapping Irvine will answer just
az wall as larger sizes, and it may be
taken in when the corn gets too large
for the crows to pull up, and then laid
aside for use at some future time. The
crow is very useful bird, even If he

EXPERIMENTS IN HOG PATCHING.

A series of experiments has been
tried in Denmark under the auspices
of the Government with the result
that it has been determined that four
pounds of boiled potatoes are equal to
one pound of grain for fattening hogs
for bacon. It was also decided that
six pounds of skim milk, eight pounds
of boiled turnips and twelve pounds of
whey are each equal to one pound of
grain for fattening purposes. In 1881
the Danish farmers exported to Eng
land 100000 pounds of bacon, in
1892 they exported 200, 200, 900
pounds. Apparently the Danes know
how to cure bacon, says the California

house.
E. M. Babcock, wife and child of Fost oria
Mich, went to visit Mrs. Babcock's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Roberts, who live in
Grant Township, four and a quarter miles
northeast of Gagetown. Mich. The family con-
sisted of father, mother and seven children
About 8 a. m. Mr.. Roberts's son was aWak-
ened by the smell of smoke, and found his
bedclothes on fire. He aroused his brother
and his guest, George Frost, of Sherwood,
Mich, who was also visiting the family.
Young Roberts jumped out of the chamber
window on the second floor and rushed to
his fathers bedroom window on the first
floor. He finally succeeded in rescuing his
father, mother and little sister. His other
brother and sister also made their escape,
but Mr.. Babcock, his wife and child and
George Frost persisted in the flames as did
the seven-year-old son of Mr.. Roberts. OF
the five persons burned nothing remained
but their charred trunks.
During the thunderstorm which prevailed
early in the morning lightning struck the
house and set it on fire. The inmates prob
ably never aroused, and were suffocated long
before the flames reached them. This does
not apply to Mr.. Frost. who. it is supposed
tried to rescue Mr.. Babcock and his wife, and
was overcome by the heat and smoke.
Miss Hannah Roberts had her hands and
arms terribly burned before she could get
out. and the attending physician thinks she
may not recover.
Miss Roberts and Mr.. Frost were engaged
to be married this fall. The death of Mr.
Babcock, wife and child wiped out the whole
family.
