The easiest error for a breeder to
fall into is to let the size and type
run down In the pursuit Of color.
Color is all right in it's place, but the
proper thing to strive for in the
breeding of Buff Orpingtons is to com
bine size, type, color and other quail
tiles all together in the development
of the perfect bird. You must con
stantly struggle to breed up IN size
and type as well as in color. If any
of these are neglected the birds rap
idly degenerate.

HUMUS TO THE SOIL
Success in Using Fertilizers with
Selling Crops.
Application Of Moderate Amount Of
Commercial Product Has e
Found to Be Quite Profitable
-Lequmes Beneficial.
CBY r. B. RUsHING.1


My experience with using CONNER
cial fertilizers and sOiling crops as a
substitute for stable manure, especial
ly for supplying humus to the worn
out soil, has been very favorable. And
/ am lead to believe that the plan will
be adopted more in the future, as we
must have humus from other sources
than just stable manure.
OF course manure can De produced
in very large quantities, but every
man with a very large farm cannot
produce sufficient stable n to go
all over the farm. and consequently,
they must loOk to other sources.
A good grade of manure can be pro-
duced at home in the form Of soiling
crops and by adding some commercial
fertilizer to produce extra growth, it
will be found very satisfactory.
IF clover, cowpeas, n other le-
gumes are grown and plowed under,
they will add a large quality of nitro
gen, having taken it from the air.
This, therefore, is a great gain, be-
cause nitrogen is the most costly in
gredient of any manure. Then if we
can add humus, and nitrogen, with
bLldlI COSI, Will IL HOl Dc easy " pup
ply the other necessary ingredients
without much cost.
If, however, nitrogen is to be added
in commercial form, which l have
found is Otter a wise thing to do in
forcing a rapid growth, there is no
form which l think will act more
quickly, n in which it may be had
more cheaply than in nitrate of soda.
This, however, should be put on
shortly before 1t is expected to be
taken up by the plants or trees, as 1t
is very soluble and easily lost If nOt
soon appropriated by the growing
crops.
1t is we'll to make two applications
in one season.; one in the early part
and the other later on, when the
growth is almost at its height. 1t will
then cause a remarkably vigorous
growth.
Nitrate of soda should not be put on
the land in the fall or winter except
in the case of winter crops for pas
ture, for it would be largely lost in
the drainage water before the time
for the crop to use it.
Cotton seed meal, dried bone, fish
scraps, etc, all nave considerable pro
portions of nitrogen in them and are
good manures, but they dissolve slow
ly and should be applied several
week. or even months before they are
expected to act on the crops.
Phosphoric acid is another neces-
sary part of any complete manure,
n should be used IN growing soiling
crops or directly upon the orchards,
vineyards, berry fields, and, in fact,
almost everywhere that stuff is grown.
1t is a~bundantly found in bones and
phosphate rock. The dissolved forms,
however, are much more available
than those which are merely ground
or crushed.
I have for several years tried the
growing of soiling crops IN my farm
with the addition of fertilizers, which
l think most adapted to my soil, and l
find l am able to enrich much more
land than would be the cas- were l
to depend entirely on the barnyard
manur alone.

Corn cobs make a fairly good smoke,

are more desirable.

coffroth Wins Race, London to Frisco


James w. Cofroth, fight promoter,
won his bet of $4,000 made with a
member of the National Sporting club
Of London that he could reach San
Francisco in ten days from London.
Cofroth had a margin of two hours
and forty minutes.
Cofroth, according to agreement,
sent a telegram to Eugene CORR, with
whom he had the wager. When he ar
rived at the Oakland pier he was well
coined by a large delegation that
cheered him as he stepped from his car.
The time made by Coffroth is the
fastest yer made from London to San
Francisco v e the Atlantic and across
b continent. He made the trip in
nine days, five hours and five minutes.
The journey from Omaha to San
Francisco was made on the famous San
