MANURE AND CHEMICAL FERTIL-
IZERS

There can he no objection to using both
stable manure and commercial fertilizers
for II crop not needing any special mix
turc of ingredients. but the best results
will always come from applying the COM
mercial fertilizer after the stable manure
has been applied and plowed under. Then,
100. it must he cncmbered that all stable
manure is not of equal value. There will
be some that will show good strength of
all the plant food the best stable manure
contains, while other manure will be lack
ing mainly in nitrogen largely because it
has been destroyed by fire fang or by eX-
posure to the elements and has passed off
in the air. 1t is claimed by those who
nave experimental that II to 20 pounds of
muriate of potash and l5 pounds of acid
phosphate is sufficient to supplement each
ten of good stable manure 1t will be I'M
derstood that much depends upon the soil
as well as upop the condition of the
manure whether the quantity is sufficient.
This is one of the things where expert
ments would pay and pay well. taking the
quantity named as a basis for one plot.
ii little less for another plot and Il little
more for a third plot. Use the same crop
for each plot and have both the soil and
the quality OF the stable manure as nearly
identical as possible. If careful records
are kept the results ought to be most in

WATCH THE STRAWBERRY
CROP.

The intelligent berry grower should not
depend upon the statements Of others as
to the value of a strawberry bed beyond
the first fruitins year. Test the matter
for yourself. 1t is generally stated by ex-
perts that one good crop of berries is all
one should expect from a bed. and yet.
oftentimes. conditions are such that two
and even three crops worth having are
profitable. The writer crops Candy two
years. Wilson three years and Marshall
one year only. This we nave worked out
on our soil and under the conditions. Why
Candy cannot be protitably cropped three
years with us we cannot tell. Possibly be-
| cause the Marshall requires such high
culture too much vitality is taken from
the plants to make a second crop profit
, able. and yet a neighbo a mile ava with,
apparently. similar soil, gets two crops
without trouble. AS stated, general advice

to try it.

is a grass plot and this would make an
excellent lawn If properly cared for. Let
the Expressions be filed in with good soil
and a little grass seed scattered over this

afforded. use the scythe frequently SO that

wish 1 would stop sending in items about

his persistency on this subject comes from
the fact that not many years & he

while today he thinks his hogs are the
~cleanest. His conversion came through the
loss Of almost the entire nerd from dis

KEEP NEST BOXES CLEAN.

part of the houses. but where Il is as cool
as possible and see that they are kept
