Homo Mixed Fertilizers.
There is no. question but that the ingre-
dents for fertilizers can be more cheaply
bought and the mixing done at home than
to buy the fertilizer already mixed. but
whether or not 1t will pay depends upon
several things. II one knows pretty we'll
what the crops he proposes to grow need
and understands something about the
home mixing of fertilizers. having the
necessary help to do the work, 1t then
pays provided one also has the necessary
cash to pay for the material. Then again
there Is probably a greater profit in the
low grade fertilizers than in the high

be greater in mixing the low grade or
more complete fertilizers. They are also

Sun in the Poultry House.
The time honored plan of building poul-
try houses was to face them due south
when. as = matter of fact, they should
be faced southeast. which gives the sun
in the house early 1 nthe morning when
the poultry need 1t most during the winter.
and then the sun shines in the house near
ly or quite all day, especially II q window
Is placed in the southwest side. In cold
climates 1t IL not wise to have entire glass
fronts. for the action Of the air on the
glass after the sun goes down make such
houses very cold at night. In the average
poultry hous holding from Is to 30 hens,
windows four by eight on two sides Of the
house would be sufficiently large and sven
then some way should be provided for
covering them at night. For this purpose

This will keep the house snug and warm
even on cold winter nights.
Running in Debt.

carried on with the help of borrowed cap
