Fertilizers For Strawberries.

I At the experiment fruit farm expert
ments with fertilizers for strawberries
have given only negative results In
1903, thirteen plats of one-fortieth acre
each were planted to strawberries,
twelve plats with different fertilizers
and the thirteenth check. The soil
was good clay loan that would yield
about forty bushels of corn per acre.
The experiment was designed to show
the effect Of muriate of potash, acid
phosphate and cottonseed meal intro
gem singly and in various combina-
tons. The plants were set in the
spring and given thorough tillage, and
a good stand was secured. Expert
Growers examined the plats in fruit
during the two following years, and of
the many who examined them only
one man was able to distinguish which
was the unfertilized plat. A record of
the yield Of the different plats was
kept, and no pronounced differences
appeared. The unfertilized plat gave
slightly better results than some of the
fortified plats, but the results as a
whole were negative, indicating that
this soil did not require manuring for
strawberries.
In 1905 the experiment was repeated
IN a poor light-colored gravelly clay.
The plats will bear next season, but
In the growth of the plants no differ.
ences have been observed in the vari.
GUS plats.
A successful market gardener al

been devoted to such vegetables as

two or three years in such crops as
cabbage he plants a field to strawber-
ries, fruits them two or three years,
then plows them under, and finds the
soil improved by the process.-Profes

Bulletin Is, Of the Texas Station,
at College Station, is on feeding fer
mented cottonseed meal to hogs. The
conclusions, from careful experiments,
are:
First: A comparison of the results
Of this experiment with those Of other
stations at which cottonseed meal was
fed in the ordinary way, indicates
that cottonseed meal may be used in
larger quantities and for longer periods
when fermented and fed in slop, than
when fed without being ferinented.
Second: The report of feeders who
have used cottonseed meal for hogs
indicate that a light feed Of cottonseed
meal may be continued indefinitely,
and that the consumption of green feed
lessons the danger Of death from feed
ing cottonseed meal.
Third: In this trial the hogs were
yard-fed during the hot summer sea-
son, consequently they were under con-
ditions making the trial as severe as
possible. Under such conditions fer
menting cottonseed meal does not en-
tirely remove its injurious effect when
fed to hogs.
Fourth: The results of this expert
ment show that for the first forty
three days Of the feeding the mixture
containing cottonseed meal and corn
gave larger and cheaper gains than the
straight corn ration, while during the
second period of forty days the results
were reversed. This leads to the sug-
gestion that, to improve a corn ration,
1t would be advisable to add cottonseed
meal to it for about forty days. pre-
ferably, for other reasons also, during
the first forty days Of the feeding.
Fifth: The hogs that received cot
tonseed meal as part of their ration
in this trial showed less fat and more
lean meat in the carcass.
| Sixth: The carcasses of the hogs that
received cottonseed meal, contrary to
the previously expressed opinion of
the packers, were firmer, and therefore
more acceptable to them than those of
the corn-fed hogs.

In flock Of fifty hens If ten are poor

good layers. They are those with

around and sing from morning till
