FertiIizfng Asparagus.


The plan of top dressing asparagus
beds during the autumn or early win
ter is gradually giving way to the more
rational mode of top dressing in the
spring and summer. 1t was believed
that autumn dressing strengthened the
roots and enabled them to throw up
stronger shoots during the following
spring. This is now thought mistake.
Nitrate of soda and sulphate of pot
ash mixed with wood ashes applied in
two doses March and May keep the
asparagus beds going and produce a
large yield of fine spears.
Sulphate of ammonia Zone part and
muriate of potash two parts applied
In three doses March, May and after
the cutting season is over has been
found to. be a mixture which proved

THE MASH FEED.
A Poultryman Whose Experience Is
Against Its Use.

A PouItryman Whose Experience Is
Against Its Use.
I see quite often your remarks in re-
gard to feeding, always speaking about
how very important a mash is in a ra-
ton. / am going to give you my expe-
rience.
/ fed a mash for two years, always
fed at noon, for the reason that when
fed in the morning hens would sit
around during the coolest part of the
day. So l fed mixed grain in straw
litter mornings and kept hens hustling;
at noon fed mash; at night wheat or,
when very cold, whole corn. Now near
ly every one who writes about rations
says you must feed mash. / conclud-
ed it used up valuable time mixing,
placing in trays and going around to
see if any had been left. could not
do 1t in less than an hour and half.
/ have not fed mash now for two
years and have decided to my satisfac
ton that it is waste of time, of which
a man has none too much If he looks
after his hens as he ought. I gathered
last year 5000 more eggs than ever
did while feeding mash from not quite
as many hens, and the larger part one
and two year old hens.
This winter have fed grain twice
day, the same morning and evening,
using plenty of straw litter. Every
thing the hens had they had to scratch
for. l have no given amount to feed.
go among my different pens and give
according to how hungry they seem to
be, and if by picking over the straw 1
find grain they go without until they
scratch it out feed about one-third
cracked corn, one-third whole wheat,
one-third oats; when very cold, give
whole corn at night, about three times
a week. also feed ground bone every
other day and cabbage. I put away
enough cabbage In the fall to last until
green stuff comes again in the spring
and cure clover and feed just as you
would to a horse. and they clean 1t all
up but the very large stems. They
have access to shells, grit and charcoal
at all times-Cor. Practical Farmer.

Looking Up Now.

Ten years ago the annual value Of
Minnesota's dairy products was but
$3,000.0oo. Today it is $20O00.0O0. The
business was then looked down upon.
Today it is looked up to, says E. x.
Slater. Separate the dairy department
from the food department. divorce 1t
from politics. give US a board of con-
troll in touch with the real conditions.
place in their hands an increased ap-
preparation, appoint additional inspect
ors and then watch the business grow.

coTToNsEED AS FEED.


An Instructive Review of Exper1-
ments at Georgia Station.
Mr.. 2. S. Hardin, dairy editor of the
Louisville Farm and Home. in recently
writlng about cottonseed as dairy
feed, says:
Professor Massey seems to be of the
opinion that much of the sickness Of
cattle at the south is due to feeding so
much cottonseed hulls and meal. This
may be true, but it would seem that
southern farmers have been long time
finding this out if it is true. 1t may be
more question of how the feeding is
dom rather than the amount fed. Cot
tonseed is a very concentrated food
stuff and should be always accompa-
MED with sufficient hay or bulky fod-
der to give the stomach a mechanical
chance to work up the meal or seed.
Ruminants cannot comfortably handle
meals and other concentrated feeds
separate the meal in the stomach so the
gastric juice can get at it.
GAS there is a prevailing opinion at
the south that cotton hulls are cheap
feed the Georgia station has been max
ing some experiments along this line.
A group of cows were fed seven days
ON 1920 pounds ensilage, 2,240 pounds
hulls, 400 pounds bran, 240 pounds cot
tonseed meal, the approximate value
being $16.79. The value of the butter
made during the seven days was
$2O.27; profit, $3.48.
Second period same cows seven
days were fed 1000 pounds ensilage;
value, 1925; butter made, 1929; profit,
$14.04. Third period, same cows. seven
days, 3,640 pounds hull, 500 pounds cot
tonseed meal; value, $16.40; value of
butter, $23.64; profit, $7.24. Fourth
period, same cows. seven days, 500
pounds ensilage, 280 pounds cottonseed
meal; value, $7.28; value of butter,
$23.12; profit, 1884 These tests indi-
cate that ensiIage is the feed most to
be relied on in that section.
"Give the above figures close study
and you cannot help coming to the con-
clusion that any man is only wasting
his time and energy feeding cottonseed
bulls to cows if milk is wanted. The
cow is no more capable of making
something out of nothing than a man
is. She must have sufficient quantity
of good and nourishing food if she is
expected to produce profitable supply
of milk. Hulls may help to keep her
alive, but neither chemistry nor prac-
tice has a good word to say for this
woody substance. Rather go to work
right now and plan you silo, big or
little, as you can afford to build.
IF you are poor, then put more en-
ergy into your determination. Make up
your mind to begin now and get up the
materials and to keep at it until you
have got enough lumber together to
build the box If it takes a whole year
Anything rather worth having is worth
working and waiting for, and the more
of this you have to do the more you
will appreciate the thing after you ger
it. EnsiIage is long way the cheapest
of all cow feeds both for winter and
summer"

One of the latest industries to be

Botanically the pecan Hicoria pecan
belongs to the hickory family. The
tree is one of the largest of the forest,
growing from rs to ITO feet high, with
wide spreading branches and SYM
metrical domelike top.
The nuts are generally oblong and
vary in weight from % to over 100
per pound. The shells are relatively
thin and much more easily cracked
than those of the common hickory nut.
