NITROGEN ON FARMS.

An observant correspondent writes
that little is said concerning the com
mercial fertilizers containing a con
siderable per cent of nitrogen, and
calls the attention of the editor to
the large quantities of nitrogen used
by market gardeners. OF course, all
who are familiar with the work OF
market gardeners are familiar with
their use of nitrogen, but it should
be remembered that such men have
comparatively small areas and from
them get several crops in a season.
The farmer. on the other hand,
works larger area, and at most, as
a rule, gets but one crop. The con
clusion is that he can not afford to
buy the commercial nitrogen. which is
correct Nor is there need for his
doing SO if he will grow the legumes
which will obtain the nitrogen fol
him from the air. Simply a matter
of economy, after all, and the money
put in fertilizers containing large
percentage of potash and phosphorit
acid, if the legumes are used to OBJ
tain the costly nitrogen. The question
is a simple one, and the sell worker
should take it home to himself and
apply it according to conditions and

HOW TO FEED GREEN BONE.

Feeding green bone is all right il
constantly done. But it is quite pos.
sibie to injure the fowls if too much
is given. The green cut bone is to
take the place of bugs and worms, the
natural insect food for fowls and
birds. If it be possible to scatter small
particles of green cut. bone all about.
so that the fowls may find little
here and there, only slight attention
need be given to the actual quantity
fed. But when cut and fed in any
quantity the fowls will eat all they
can get and run and hunt for more
The result is looseness Of the bowels,

ness. For this reason, according to
a Country Gentleman writer, it is de,
sirable to feed by aeutal weight, one
pound of cut green bone to thirty
hens. this being thoroughly mixed
through their mash food, so that each
fowl will be sure to get its proper
allowance and the greedy ones not
get all.

-,ARcE AND SMALL DAIRY COWS.

LARGE AND SMALL DAIRY COWS.
The Wisconsin Experiment Station
recently issued bulletin entitled
STUDIES in Milk Production, in winch
different types of cows were placed in
competition with each other, and the
results carefully computed and pub
lished.
The results reached by the Expert
ment Station as summarized were as
follows
Cows of the large dairy type pre-
ferable-From the data presented IL
will be seen that everything consid-
cred cows in group B, representing
the large dairy type, are clearly IN
the lead for economic production OF
milk and butter fat. The results OF
over four years work with cows of
the extreme dairy type, represented
in group A, not only failed to estab-
fish the claims for the superiority OF
cows OF this type over much larger
type, but clearly showed that they
are not as large producers, nor as
THAT the extreme dairy type has
been popular at least in this state is
evinced, among other reasons, by the
fact that three of the cows selected
for the university herd at our solicita-
ton by prominent dairymen OF oir
state were fair representatives of this
type of cows, and are included in
group A. Our Investigations have
been conducted under the most favor
able conditions possible for this type
of cows; the stable in which they
have been kept is considered a model
one, as regards cleanliness, light, ven
tilation and general comfort of the
animals, and water is provided for
them in the stalls so that they are not
exposed to inclement weather at any
time. They are given the best of care
and attention at all times; being fed
literally; kept during the hot summer
months in the cool, darkened barn,
protected from sun and flies and are
fed various green feeds and grain in
summer as well as protected from
cold in the winter.
'In view of the ever-increasing de-
mands on the part of dairymen for
cows that will have endurance and
ability to withstand diseases, as well
as great productive capacities, we do
not hesitate to state that in our opin-
ion it is not the part of wisdom for
our dairymen to select the small re-
fined cows with spare habit of body
in an extreme degree as the most de-
sirable type of dairy cows.

A WORD FOR ROOT CROPS.

Considering the well known careful
ness of American farmers in placing
on the markets the products of the
soil, it is surprising how reluctant
they are to study the importance of
root crops as part of the most profit
able feeding ration. Why this is so,
unless by force of habit, a Canadian
writer in American Agriculturist does
not attempt to explain, but says:
True, the growing of alfalfa and rape
has added immensely to the possibili-
ties of mutton making. But for all
that rape can be carried into winter
use but to limited degree, and alfalfa
made into hay loses its succulency.
Therefore, no matter how we'll this
is saved in curing, the system of the
animal, housed or yarded and fed hay
with grain, misses that touch of ma
ture so essential to it's well doing, the
something approaching grass in it's
makeup, as when eaten fresh off the
field.
Here is where root crops step in to
admirably fill the want. 1t is by this
means largely that our British friends
have been so long able to lead the
world in producing such large num-
Der of kinds of high class stock, which
all the C. yilized nations draw on to
improve their flocks and herds. 1t is
said, and well said. that the turnip
proved to be the salvation of Scot
land financially century ago. And
in Canada we are closely following in
the footsteps of the mother land. and
that with most satisfactory results.
In some sections of Ontario the claim
is made. and l think II is justifiable
one, that in the last 'fteen years the
production of many formerly cropped
to death farms has doubled. That has
been the outcome of root growing and
Systematically feeding all hay, grain

tions being marketed on foot and

HINTS FOR RRIDEeRooMs.

SEEDING CLOVER IN SPRING.

On the farm where I worked when
