MIXED MANURES.
A Celebrated English Authority's Opinion
Upon Several Fertilizer Questions.

A Celebrated English Authority's Opinion
Upon Several Fertilizer Questions.
Rural New Yorker asked the follow
Ing questions of Sir J. b. Lawes Of
Rothomsted, England: Some fertilizer
firms hold that their goods are superior
70 other goods because they use nitrogen
and phosphorio acid In varied forms,
thus giving to plants the foods they need
as needed For instance, phosphoric acid
is given in bone -four, in bone super
phosphate and guano--no rock. Nitro
gen is given in nitrate of soda, sulphate
Of ammonia, tankage, etc. Do you think
there is any decided advantage in this?
Would it not be as we'll to use fine bone,
sulphate Of potash or unleached ashes or
muriate of potash for most crops and
enough nitrate of soda to give more nj
trogen than the bone furnishes? The
question is, Would not farmers do bet
ter to buy bone flour, nitrate of soda,
etc, separately and spread them?
Dr. Lawes' reply was as follows: 81
can quite understand manure maker
preferring to sell compound manure,
and he is able to make large profit
The prices Of nitrate of soda, bone -four
ind rock superphosphate are we'll
Known, ana farmer can mix them in
the proportion he requires with much
less cost than he can purchase the mix
ture. The same holds good in food. We
have any amount Of cattle cakes in the
market A man goes into the market,
purchases various grains, etc, grinds
them, calls the substance cake and
charges about GO or So per ton above
the cost Of the raw substance. To call
thing cake does not increase it's feed
ing properties.
Il once wrote q paper on the subject,
pointing out that cotton cake and lin
seed cake were the refuse Of the produo-
ton of oil, and that they would still be
made even if farmers did not purchase
them. So they sell exactly for the price
that farmers think it worth while to pay
for them and no more. l have known
linseed cake to sell at Ella per ton, while
cotton cake would only make G5, and
now one sells for 81 and the other not
much less.
with reference to farmers purchas-
ing their own manure, it may be said
generally that for grain crops bone is
hardly used at all; for wheat, if autumn
sown, only nitrate of soda is used; for
spring sown grain crops, mineral super
phosphate and nitrate of soda Fine
ground bone is used upon some kinds of
soil for turnips, and it is also used for
pasture land In my opinion bones act
too slowly to be used for annual crops,
but they are Of great value as an ingre-
dent in compound manures for sugar
cane, etc.
THE food for plants and animals is
precisely the same For plants, what
the soil does not supply the air does sup
ply; for animals, what plants do not
supply the air supplies Instead Of buy
ing meat, vegetables, milk, ETC., at the
usual price, we may choose prepared
foods containing precisely the same con-
stituents and pay five times as much for
them. We pay others profit for mix
ing foods which we are unwilling to

Unthrashed Wheat For Feed.

An Ohio farmer, in letter to Pro
fessor Henry Of the Wisconsin station,
advises feeding wheat in the sheaf to
hogs. To thrash and grind the grain is
an expense The plan suggested is to try
ieeding fattening hogs wheat from the
stack in the sheaf, scattered over a dry
field or lot. 1t will not be eaten so fast
and will be digested better. For best re-
suits they should be taken out at night
to a small ration Of corn. With the
COWS and pigs or stock hogs turned in
to clean up the wheat after them there
will be very little waste during dry
weather.

Costly Timothy Uay.

One of the most costly products a
dairyman can feed is No. l timothy
hay. 1t is far cheaper to sell such hay
and buy grain with the money, though
such plan would be considered worse
than heresy by many farmers. We use
hay to supply "roughage. No one who
has ever studied the matter believes
that timothy is cheap source of pro-
tein. The 'roughage" can be supplied
very much cheaper in the form of ensi.
lage, cornstalks, oats and peas and clio.
yer nay, while with the latter large
quantity of actual nutriment is also
obtained. 1t is little short of folly III
these times for dairy farmer to do
anything with his first class hay but
sell it.-Cor Rural New Yorker.

A Vegetable Manure.

Here is formula for manure that
has been successfully used by a New
Jersey gardener for vegetables: One
thousand pounds cottonseed meal OF
bonemeal, both costing about $50 ton;
500 pounds boneblack, costing $50 a
ton, and 800 pounds of muriate Of pot
ash, costing $42 to $40 ton. This
makes one ton of first class manure,
costing about $50. This gardener says
in American Gardening: II have had
better results from this formula than
from $46 special manures from the
manufacturer. used the above formula
on two acres Of sweet potatoes last sea
son, making fine crop Of about 60 bar
rels to tho acre. put 200 pounds Of
the $50 fertilizer on each acre, costing
about $l8 an acre"

CAM EMsERT CHEESE.

MOrsel.

How to Make This Famous and Delicious
Morsel.
The popular small cheeses made in
France and Germany, but used every
where, being largely exported from
these two countries, are divided into
two classes, tho one being those kinds
that are used within few days after
the making, the others being cured for
later consumption, and thus being able
TO be kept some time after they are fit
tod for use. 1t Is plain that this latter
class of cheeses is more suitable for ex-
tensive manufacture on this account than
the other kinds called fromages frais, or
fresh cheeses, and ON account of the great
ly improved quality of the cheese the
cured ones are known as frOmages afflne
OF refined checses And this term is fully
Justified by the most careful process Of
curing by which the sharper ammoni
acal taste and odor are got rid of, and
soft, rich, buttery consistence and a
pronounced but pleasant flavor are given
by the slow and careful curing. 1t is
curious fact that this method Of curing,
which has been learned during more
than century and has been slowly
evolved by gradual experience, is based
ON the most correct scientific principles
and by the aid Of germs which are cul.
tivated in the cheese, now only coming
10 our knowledge, and thus explaining
result that we are now only just study
ing out And so far with all our pres
emit knowledge, we are unable to i'm
prove upon the process, but are adopting
it into our modern practice i'll dairy
work, not only in making cheese, but
butter as well. And it is simply what
we now call the process Of riponing,
which is word that fits exactly the
French term used above as applied to
this class of cheeses-viz, at1ine
A typical cheese of the cured kind is
the Camembert, so called from the
place of its original manufacture, where
1t was first made in the year 1901 by a
family Of dairymen called Paynell. The
manufacture now amounts to several
million OF cheeses annually and employs

that the milk has been strictly examined
