AS POULTRY FOOD.
Reason Why It Is Better Than tho
Screenings, ana in Long Run
Cheaper.

Wheat is very good poultry food,
and 1t is as cheap to buy the whole
wheat as it is screenings, unless the
latter can be purchased at very
low price. Frequently when wheat Is
selling at 80 cents per bushel the
farmer must pay from 80 to 60 cents
per bushel for screenings. These
screenings contain great deal of
weed seed, some of which, like corn
cookie, is injurious to the poultry.
The wheat screenings consist largely
Of shriveled wheat, which has in it
little substance and in very many
cases the farmer will find it cheaper
to buy good wheat for his poultry.
Wheat is especially seryiceable for
small chicks, as the grains are small
and If scattered in straw; the chicks
are compelled to do great deal Of
work to get meal. Most of our
farmers, says the Farmers Review.
have wheat they grow on their own
farms, that on account of having a
poor color, will sell at low price, It
will be found better to hold and feed
such wheat than to take the trouble
OF marketing it.

Old Style Fencing Giving Way Slowly
s But Surely to the More Mod. .. s. {
~ s ern Method. E1<f. c:s .s:.,

q Much Of the old rail fence is still
in use in many sections. Though not
so neat and attractive as the wire or
board fence, 1t has some points of adj
vantage over other. kinds. The rail
fence can be easily opened to pass
through from field to field with binder
or other machinery. Also rails make
handy cross fences or hog lot fences,
being easily taken down and put up
again, so as to change size Of, or
subdivide lots or fields. About the
first rails made we're split out Of
white oak and many of these, after
40 OF SO years use, are yet sound. The
same may be said of chestnut rails,
but those made Of black oak are not
so lasting. Stock, especially horses,
are seldom hurt by rail fences, yet
many are ruined or blemished for life
by<barbed wire cuts.
The barbed or woven wire fence is
a necessity in places where little other
material is to be had, and eventually,
ted down, we must use the wire, which
is neat, looks we'll, takes up little room
and fewer posts than the rail fence. 1t

to passage of farm stock or some wild
animals
AS fast as needed supplant rails with
woven wire about 81 inches high OF
nine strands. Two inches above 1t

horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, but
another wire eight inches higher

stock, says the Farm and Home. Posts

Roots for. Cows.

The liberal use of roots as feed
for dairy cows enables them to con-
tinue productive for longer period
than is possible with animals fed on
of the less succulent kind. They give
growth of the right kind, which is
growth without undue fairness. Where
roots are abundantly fed the milk
flow is benefited. Some object to feed
ing roots on account of the milk be-
ing tainted. There is some truth in
this, but quality considered there is
probably no single article of diet that
produces milk in larger quantities
than the field roots. Turnips and
rutabagas produce taints of fed free
ly unless with great care. They
should be fed after each milking and
with adjuncts not high in nutriments.

4 Fertilizer TEST.
Way a Farmer May Experiment and
Ascertain the Elements Need
ed in Soil

The writer was recently talking with
Prof. G. G. Hopkins of the University
OF Illinois on the use of PHOSPHORUS
on the clover being grown at the uni
versity farm. The professor gave the
following figures on the. test on sew
eral experimental plots last year. Ten
plots were used, two of which were
check plots and received no treatment.
The yield of dried clover hay in tons
on the ten plots was as follows:
No treatment, 1926.
Legumes, III.
No treatment, lis.
Legumes, lime, 1872.
Legumes, 1.21.
BY comparing the above it will be
seen that this land did not lack nitro
gen, as the blowing under of the le-
gumes did not increase the yield: The
lined plot gave slightly increased
yield. The next five plots yielded as
follows:
Legunles, lime, phosphorus, 2.9l.
Legumes, phosphorus, 2.91.
This seemed to indicate that the
lime was not needed, and without
doubt this was the case.
Legumes, lime, phosphorus, potas-
sium, $40.
Lime, phosphorus, potassium, 319.
Lime, phosphorus. potassium, BAL.
The. above tnree plots also indicated
that nitrogen was not needed, as the
plots yielded about the some with and
without the legumes. The story that
this set of experiments tells is that
the land needs phosphorus and potas-
SUM, but does not need nitrogen or
lime. I" ~. 3 s<=< =z
