$50 to $40 per ton, you will be very
much mistaken. The higher the grade
the more concentrated is the fertilizer,
the more actual plant food you get for
a dollar, and the less of other unim-
portant elements you obtain. The
source of your supply. the time and
manner of buying and the quantity
you buy, are the main conditions in
fuencing the cost per pound OF plant
food in standard fertilizers or fertiliz.
ing materials. If you buy only small
lot from local agent, and expect him
to wait six or twelve months for his
pay, You can rest assured that you will
have to make good the expense OF this
method of doing business in the price
you pay him. Or the other hand, IL
You should join with a. lot of your
neighbors, put up the spot cash and
invite bids from different manufac-
turers and dealers, you would get
your fertilizer at the lowest price con-
sistent with quality. The earlier you
buy the better terms you can make,
for manufacturers can afford to do bet
ter by q purchaser this month than
they can at the height of the season.

SOUR MILK AS FEED.

It is we'll known that many people
with whom fresh milk disagree, be-
cause it is too hard to digest, can take
sour milk or buttermilk which is sour
end suffer no i'll effect from it. The
slight souring, if not carried too far,
is IN MD to digestion rather than the
reverse. You observed that so soon as
you began feeding calves with sour
milk instead Of new fresh milk they
were attacked with scours, and often
so badly that it took months for them
to rcco!er. The trouble in this case
was not that the milk was sour, but
that it had become cold, and, being
taken into the stomach in large guam
titles, nature took the only means pos
eiblc to get ril of it. The digestion
of calves is moro often ruined the first
year of their life by feeding cold milk
than in any other way. Herein is the
great advantage in feeding some kind
OF porridgc mixed with the sour milk.
The porridgo is always cooked, and,
being put in the milk while hot 1t
n.alies the whole OF the temperature
OF the blood or of new milk. Calves
raised in this way keep their di2es-
ton good and make excellent cows
The value OF COW rs milk and but
Ter producer is more dependent on her
ability to digest large amount OF
food than on anything else. Not even
good breeding will make good COW

WHITE FOWLS POPULAR.

White fowls, especially those for
table use, are becoming more popular
than ever before. Those most desired
are White Plymouth Rocks and Wyan-
dottes, because they dress beautifully.
The skin is golden butter color, and
to a particular buyer of table fowls
this is one of the desirable points in
table fowl. In Massachusetts, breeder
of poultry ESPECIALLY these two varie-
ties) keeps 1000 of each kind on two
separate farms with great success,
keeping them pure and breeding them
to perfection either for the table or
exhibition points. If You want fowls
for table purposes you cannot select
better than White Plymouth Rocks
and Wyandottes. They will Gil every
requirement either for the town
breeder or for the farmer. They are
also considered good layers, but are
not bred so largely for egg produc-
tion as they are for general table use.
They are pretty fowls on a grassy
lawn; and with the Growing of the
males and singing of lot of lively
pullets no better music could be de-
sired about a rural home. New York

BELTS AND COLLARS.

There are one or two distinctive fea.
lures IN this seasons fashions that are
not to be passed over lightly. Care
less observers of the new costumes now
on exhibition say that there is very
little change in styles since last year,
and that with g fstle furnishing up
old gowns will pass muster, but they
are sadly mistaken, fs7 the very de-
tails that they have not noticed are
the ones that give tf chic and fin
ished look to the gowfs this spring.
The belt and the collar are the
salient points to be noticed, and it
seems as though France had run riot
in the colors and shapes. Nothing
matches, and it is hard to become &C
customed to the violent contrasts, in
spite of the training we have been put
through lately with the fowered and
Persian patterned silks. A blue and
white silk, dull turquoise blue, has
grass-ereen belt of broad ribbon
twistod around the waist, and also run
through eyelet holes in the shirring on
the skirt. The same green ribbon is
run through shirring on the waist, and
there is band of it around the neck,
but there partly hidden by the tabs OF
white lace which fall over it at the
back.
The collars on all the new gowns are
cut very high at the back; inside,
have q ruche; outside, tabs of lace;
and surrounding the neck, ribbon.
All these combined must needs make
rather too hot fashion for midsum-
mer, but for the present, at all events,
must be worn.
Girdles OF satin ribbon, pointed back
and front, are greatly in favor, and a
new fad is to have small rhinestone
buttons both in front and back, as If
to hold down the folds Of the ribbon.
A girdle of green satin put on flow
cred heliotrope silk has bands Of mar
row white gros-grain ribbon sewed on
it, while plain purple stock finishes
the waist at the neck.-Harper's
Bazaar.

SOWING GRAIN FOR GREEN MANURE.

1t is sometimes the practice Of
farmers when plowing o garden to seed
with spring grain, either oats or
barley, the parts that are needed for
planting three or four weeks later. By
this time the grain will make growth
of four or FIVE inches. 1t will not be
worth much as fertilizer, but being
full of sap the leaves will decay in the
soil, making it warmer than it would
if nothing were to be plowed under.
When this policy is tried peas should
be substituted for oats or barley as
the green manure. The pea leaf is
broader and the pea being larger will
make BIZ ger growth than the smaller
grain. Besides, pea vines are richer
in nitrogen than either oats or barley,
and, therefore, add more to soil
fertility. It is doubtful if oats or
barley return anything to the soil ex-
cept what they have taken from it.
Pea roots have the power of decom-
posing air in the soil and using its
nitrogen, though this is not done un-
til the pea vine and root are well ad-
vanced in growth. If grain is sown
for green manure some fertilizer
should 90 with it. twill produce a
better effect than if saved until the
later plowiug, when quite likely there
will not be sufficient rains to dis.
solve it.
