in Connecticut, where his average value
is 80 20. and the state carries in stock

The possibility and probability of 20
tato imports of considerable magnitude
the coming fall and winter form an in
teresting subject of speculation. The
American Agriculturist reports that
prices are now close to the importing
point, and it will be remembered that
i'll years of short domestic crops not
alone are good many tubers brought
in from the lower Canadian provinces,
but also from Scotland and occasionally
from the north of Europe. 1t is far from
certain that those countries will have
any to spare the present season. During
the seven months ended July 81, which
included the period for importing Ber-
muda stock, total of 1871 900 bushels
of foreign potatoes came into this coun-
try against 1915, 600 a year ago. Exports
for this period were respectively 402.
600 and 300, 900 bushels.

Home MIXING of Fertilizers.

The Ohio station, after careful inves-
tigation, says that "more than one
third of the money which the average
Ohio farmer is paying for his fertilizers
goes toward the cost of persuading him
to buy" 1t says that persons may save
from 80 to 80 per cent of the cost of
their fertilizers by purchasing the ma
terials and mixing them (when mixing
is necessary at home. An Indiana
farmer says in letter to Rural New
Yorker: perhaps some figures may be
in order to show just what saving there
is in buying materials ready for mix.
ing. | use from two to three carloads of
fertilizer and find no trouble i'll buying
materials at the prices quoted. A good,
complete fertilizer for corn or wheat on
clay lands in this section of the country
should contain about 10 per cent of
available phosphoric acid, per cent of
ammonia and 2 per cent of potash. Fer
tiliZers containing about this proportion
of available plant food have been retail
ing in a regular way from 1923 to $50
per ton. In the past two years | have
practiced home mixing, and / find that

SIT to $1S. The work of mixing what
we need on tho farm is easily and
quickly done with shovel on the barn
floor. We need no expensive machine,
as there is no mystery about it, as some
would have us believe.
A writer III Tho National Stockman
says Eastern farmers are rapidly
learning to buy the materials and do
their own mixing. | have found no diff
fculty in buying small lots of the vari-
GUS materials at "A reasonable price and
any schoolboy can figure out the pro
portions needed to make the fertilizer
conform to any desired formula. A big
saving in fertilizer bills is possible to
many farmers, and the money thus
saved might come handy"

EASTERN SWINE INDUSTRY.
The Popular Breeds-Some Common Mis-
takes Profitable Production of Pork.

The Popular Breeds-Some Common Mis-
takes Profitable Production of Pork.
The breed is quite as important as
the feed in raising hogs for market, and
farmers who go into the business ought
to acquaint themselves with the wants
of the customers With view TO she'd
ding light on the subject are here ap-
pended some remarks from the Philadel-
nhia Record of an instructive and help
full character:
The Berkshire has long been famous
as a superior breed for the production
of choice hams. while the Essex, also a
black hog, has the reputation Of produc-
ing the best side meat. For long
period of time the Chester Whites of
PENNSYLVANIA had a reputation second
to no other breed, Nho. large carcasses
were the rule, but to adapt them to fit
the conditions required for market they
were improved by crosses with the
Yorkshire and Suffolk, the result being
a sacrifice of hardness and reduction
in size, but marked improvement in
their general quality.
OF recent years the Jersey Reds and
Poland Chinas have come to the front,
both breeds being hardy, but they are
rapidly falling behind from the prac-
tice of inbreeding by some of the breed
ers, who have established lines of pedi-
grees Farmers who have been success
full have used coarse sows which have
proved to be good mothers, resorting to
pure bred males, but they have not been
as careful in properly mating their stock
as they should, as they have bred from
animals too young and thus reduced the
yigor Of their herds. Some breeds, like
the Chester Whites, thrive better than
others in cold climates, while the black
breeds-Essex, Berkshire and Poland
China-are better adapted to the south.
The theory that corn is the principal
source from which pork must be pro-
duced has done harm, not that corn has
failed to hold its high position in that
respect, but that farmers have not avail
ed themselves of the waste products of
the farm as assistants to corn. Losses
have also resulted from the use of corn
exclusively, digestion and disease occur
ring because of lack of variety in the
food. Some farmers turn their pigs
on the clover fields, but dislike to do so
owing to the roofing up of the fields by
the animals.
1t has been demonstrated at several
experiment stations that by growing
forage crops and using the waste prod
ucts of the dairy the cost of pork on
eastern farms can be made as low as in
the west, including the slaughtering and
preparing the hogs for market, as the
farmer cannot compete in that respect
with the large packing houses that are
supplied with labor saving machinery,
but there are seasons when the farmer
is really idle, and his labor possesses no
value at all unless he can apply it. 1t
will pay to raise hogs that can be sold
in less than year or if the winter ex-
penses can be avoided. Hence pig far
rowed in April and sold in Decembe
has eight months of moderate weather
in its favor for foraging, which reduces
the amount of corn required and saves
much labor to the farmer at the time
he is busy with his crops.

Feeding New Oats.

An experienced farmer once told us
that when he was obliged to begin feed
ing new oats while still moist he had
saved injury to his horses by giving an
equal bulk with them of wheat bran
AS the bran is itself nutritious the
amount of oats may be diminished to
the extent that the bran by weight is
substituted. AS the oats dry out the
proportion Of bran may be decreased
until none is given. Yet in seasons
when oats were dear we have known
bran and corn meal used as a substitute
for feeding to working horses. -Ameri-
