Bulletin No. 115 of the Kansas Ex-
pertinent Station at the Agricultu-
raj College contains a description Of
an exact method for calculating ra-
tions for stock. Publications hith-
erto have claimed that this could not
be done, but this bulletin shows that
it can. After a somewhat elaborate
treatment of the subject, of special
value to students, a simplifed pro-
cedure is suggested that answer all
the requirements of ordinary needs.
Finally, the bulletin concludes with
a list of over 21OO balanced mixtures
of common feeds in proportions
adapted to the needs of the several
classes of animals and the various
purposes for which they are kept.
The edition is limited, but while it
lasts requests for it will be honored

rotation has been planned to include
the three crops, corn, wheat, and
clover, to follow each other in a
three-year course, the fertilizers be-
ing applied to the corn and wheat.
Up to the present, only the results
with corn have been reported. These
show that the home-mixed fertilizers
gave yields fully equal to those pro-
duced by the factory-mixed goods.
Basing the cost of the factory-mixed
fertilizers upon what the station
paid for them in small lots (2OO-
pound sacks) at the factory and the
cost of the home mixtures at the reg
ular retail market price of the ma
terials in single-sack lots, with
freight to the station added, the saw
ing on the home-mixed fertilizers
was from Sc to $12 per ton.
"Acting under the advice of the
station a company of farmers bought
several carloads of fertilning mate
rails and mixed for themselves last
fall. These farmers first obtained
propositions. to furnish the desired
materials from a considerable num-
Der of manufacturers and dealers.
Selecting those which offered the best
terms they concluded their purchase,
the materials being guaranteed to
carry a definite percentage of the re-
quired fertilizing elements. The
materials, when received, were
mixed according to formulae fur
nished by the station, and the result
of their use, as shown in the fall
growth of the wheat to which they
were applied, a few samples of fac
tory-mixed fertilizers of similar com
position being used alongside has
been such as to lead to much larger
purchases for this seasons opera
tions. The final cost of their(1ot of
fertilizer, including cost of mate
rails, freight, and mixing, was less
by more than $500 than the lowest
price at which the company was Of
fered an equal quantity of factory
mixed fertilizers of equivalent com
position and on the same terms of
payment"

acre, and they would be purchasing
supplies on time before they were
ready to plant another crop. The
landowners are to blame to some x
tent for this. Every landlord ought
to encourage his tenants to raise all
home supplies possible, enabling him
as we'll as the tenant to get more
money for what money crop they do
make.
Now for the trusts. The tobacco
trust has run the prices of the leaf
down just about half on the same
grades, in four months. The NAM
featured article is just the same or
a little higher. They must be max
ing enormous profits on what they
are buying now, if they made any
thing at all four months ago. And
when you go to cure your tobacco
next fall, you may have to pay big
profits to the oil trust. The more oil
fields are discovered and the more
there is of it, the more profits the
trust demands of the God
made the earth and all that is there
in, for the benefit of the human race.
He also said that man should eat
bread by the sweat of his face. The
greed and ~avarice of the combina-
tions and trusts have not only mo-
nopolized the earth and the useful
minerals it contains, but has monop-
olized the very sweat that falls from
the laborer's brow. God intended
that supply and demand should rule
the prices of all his creation. And
it is the duty of the government to
see that such is the case.
If the farmers would organize and
stand together they could knock out
every trust that affects them in two
years, but they will not do it. The
experience. of the past has shown
that it is an impossibility to get them
to stand together. The next best
thing is for them to raise them some
thing to eat, money crop or no money
crop, and let the trust take care of
themselves. You should farm not
for the money you can get, but the
comfort you can get out of farming
by raising everything you can that is
good to eat and stop hauling so much
white side" If the farmers of North
Carolina were so situated that they
could plant every acre of land to
grain, fruit and vegetables one year,
I am sure they would never return
to the present system of hauling so
much dirt from the railroads to get
a few pounds of chemicals to raise a
money crop to enrich some one else.

There is a question / want to ask.
In analyzing commercial fertilizers
I see that the value placed on 1913
goods is about $21 or $22 on board
cars at factory. How do they pay
So freight on it and sell it for about
$22.50, and the factory make a profit
and the merchant a profit also? /

this but have not been able to see
how it is done. For instance, take a

dients at the prices given in the Bull

farmers to buy unmixed fertlllzlng
materials and prepare their own fer
tilizer mixtures and by SO dcing they
may materially reduce the cost of
their fertilizers. But various objec-
tions have been raised to the practice
of home-mixing.
Farmers are persuaded that the
compromising of fertilizers is an in
tricate and difficult operation, re-
curing extensive acquaintance with
chemistry, costly machinery, and
great technical skill.
"The case well illustrates the old
adage, that a half truth is a whole
falsehood. The production and
manufacture of fertiizing materials
that is, the selection, ~quarrying,
grinding, and acidulatiOn of phos-
phatic rock; the drying and grinding
of slaughterhouse refuse, the pro-
duction and refining of such mate
rails as nitrate of soda, sulphate of
ammonia, and muriate of potash-al1
these are distinctly manufacturing
processes which require chemical or
technical knowledge, skill in manip-
ulation, and expensive machinery.
But these operations are entirely
separate and distinct from the com
pounding of mixed fertilizers. Each
of the materials named m from
the manufacturer in condition to be
used by itself as a fertilizer and each
one is so used for special purposes.
The compounding of these materials
under a proprietary brand into a
mixed fertilizer is no more a manu-
facture than is the mixing of a ra-
ton of corn and bran to be fed to a
COW. The only difference is that the
ration which is designed to be dis
tributed uniformly to thousands or
millions of plants requires to be more
carefully mixed than that fed to a
single COW. If we were feeding each
plant by itself no mixing would be
necessary, or if we were giving the
different elements of a ration at diff
ferent times; as for instance, when
we apply superphosphate and mu-
rate of potash to wheat in the fall
and follow with nitrate of soda in
the spring.
"This point, of the essential diff
ference between those operations
which r legitimately called manu-
featuring and those which are simply
mixing, should be clearly understood.
"When the farmer learns that he
can mix his own fertilizers and there
by materially reduce their cost the
use of fertilizing materials will be
largely increased, and the final out
come will be a benefit and not an in
jury to the legitimate trade in fer
~tilizers."
In order to determine whether fer
t~ilizers so mixed are any less effect
i've than factory-mixed goods, the
Ohio Station began in 1897 an exper-
iment in which a few standard
brands of factory-mixed fertilizers

and Barnyard Manures.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Farmers as a rule get lots of advice
and lots of that advice is contrary
to their best interests. For instance,
the manufacturers of commercial
fertilizers will say to you through
their pamphlets and otherwise that
your stable manure is of not much
value. They will advise you to sell
your cotton seed and buy largely of
their goods. They will advise you to
plant largely of money crops, because
it is to their best interest, whether
it is to yours or not. 1t is also to
the best interest of the business man
that you raise large money crops, be-
cause he makes a profit on you both
ways. You also have to pay the
freight both ways, making it profta-
bic to the railroad that you make
large money crops.
x X
Now in regard to selling cotton
seed, I don't believe that they are
worth twenty-five or thirty cents per
bushel for fertilizers. Neither is
c~ottonseed meal worth twenty-five or
thirty dollars per ton, and you have
to do the hauling both ways over bad
roads. Does it pay? I am very
doubtful.
While I don't know much about
chemistry and the analyses of the
different ingredients that compose
commercial fertilizers, I do know by
experience that the best manure that
I have ever used for any crop is a
compost composed of cottonseed, sta
bic manure, acid and kainit. You
can mix in the drill if more conve-
nient. In mixing this compost in
the heap, be sure to keep it from
burning by keeping it stirred. It
will not only make a better crop the
first year, but it will permanently
improve your land. If you use it
literally on the same land for five
years, it will double the crop, while
if you use commercial fertilizers on
the same crop for five years without
rotating, your land will get worn. /
have seen poor land brought up to
twelve to fourteen barrels of corn,
and two bales of cotton per acre
mostly with the above compost with
the use of but very little CONNER
cial fertilizers. Of course, you can
not manure many acres to produce
that much, but what is the use to cul-
tivate many acres to produce that
much?
Now, I want to advise you to stop
buying so much commercial fertili-
GERS, stop planting so much money
crops, and raise more home supplies.
1t will be better for you. Will you
heed it? Some of you know by ex-
perience what you have to pay for
supplies. But you don't know what
you are going to get for your tobacco
and cotton.
The farmers ought to be the most

ly beginning to think of growing old
Whenever you hear anyone either
Boosting or complaining of his age,
you may set it down for fact that
he is old. Age is not measured in
years but in good works done, and
in future hopes and aims. When
you cease TO hope for better thin 60
and to expect better things, and to
strive for better things, when you
are old, even if you haven't reached
the middle in the allotted span Of
life. Or, if you have settled down
contented with what you have done
or what has been done for you,
then you are old; that is you have
finished your course; your useful
ness is ended, and for the remainder
Of your days you are practically,
an incumberer of the earth.
Whnever man or any other
thing that has life, ceases to grow,
and develop to produce or preserve,
you may be certain that old age has
come, and decline has begun. Ac-
tivity is sure indication of virility

Think not of how old, but of how
young you are.
If you have it in your head that
you are getting old, or are old, got
rid of the notion as quickly as posi-
BILE for it is only a notion, or rather
a feeling. If you feel the infirmities
common to your years accept them
as you accepted the feelings which
indicated your change from boyhood

We're the anthracite coal trade
subject to the operation of the
natural laws which govern business
in gerenal, it would exhibit a GER
tain amount of decentralization this
year, as a result of influences grow
ing out of last years strike. The
argument that higher wages paid
by the coal companies necessitate
the charging of more for their pro-
duct would be met by the counter
argument that the companies were
realizing exorbitant profits before
the strike began. Consumers would
be likely to say, I'VE have learned
how to get along without anthracite,
and you must make attractive prices
for it or we won't buy it, The
market amid such conditions, under
ordinary circumstances would be
very weak.
But the anthracite combine is
strong. It exists for the purpose
of ignoring natural conditions and
creating artificial conditions to suit
itself. This it is undertaking to do
in defiance of the tempest of popular
indignation treatened to break upon
it last winter. The anthracite trust
has issued circular to dealers die
tating the prices which retail pur-
chasers of coal in the Western cities
must be made to pay during the
coming season and stating the dis
count therefrom which will be
