How to Use Commercial Fertilizer.

How to Use Commercial Fertilizers
If fertilizers are used, the following
general rule should govern: On rich
lands use mainly fertilizers that will
stimulate the fruit and not the stalk
growth. On lighter lands use more of
the elements to force growth, combined
with others which will mature the
fruit.
High grade IA per cent acid phos-
plate may be considered a basis for
increasing fruit and fastening matur-
, ity of crops. Even on the richest Ian
it has been demonstrated that a small
percentage of nitrogen added to the
acid phosphate gives better results.
Air-slaked lime is of value for use on
stiff or gummy soils to loosen them
up, permit the air to enter and pre-
VEN a sour condition Of such soils
when too wet.
On this or impoverished soils equal
quantities of ~cotton-seed meal and
acid phosphate can be used to advan-
tage.
In case the foregoing can not be
obtained, standard-grade commercial
fertilizer may be used. These should
contain in the mixture 8 to 10 per
cent of available phosphoric acid, 2 to
8 per cent of nitrogen and ~ to 2
per cent of potash. or OF some lands
a high grade acid phosphate, IA per
cent may be used.
Where lands are greatly worn by
years of cropping, more fertilizer
should be used to the acre. and it
should contain about equal parts of
cotton seed meal and high grade acid
phosphate. The beneficial effect OF
commercial fertilizers depends largely
upon the presence of humus in the soil,
hence the Importance of using stable
manure and blowing Under green
crops. In applying the foregoingA in
structions the farmer must use con-
siderable judgment and modify his
practice where necessary to fit local
conditions.
The fertilizer should be distributed
several days before planting, as there
is danger of injuring the seed II
brought in immediate contact with
strong fertilizer. A very careful mix
ing of the fertilizer with the soil Is
necessary for the same reason. On
all except very rich, waxy lands it
will pay to use commercial fertilizers
somewhat literally.
Where as much as 400 pounds of fer
tilizer is used for corn, we recon-
mend two applications, one in the fur.
row before planting, and an applies
ton of from $50 to 200 pounds Of
cotton seed meal in the furrow when
the corr is about one foot high.
Where lime is used scatter it broad
cast when the and is plowed, using
about four barrels Of air-slaked lime
per acre, or apply in the row about
two barrels per acre . short time BE-

Ducks.

Ducks are profitable as layers for
three years, and the brakes are fit to
use as breeders for eight. They fatten
readily and bring good prices. Their
feathers are quite valuable and net a
substantial revenue.
Yards 24x100 feet will accommodate
a pen of thirty layers, thus minimizing
space. The houses need not be costly
or especially built for warmth. but
should be dry. Eggs are usually fer
tile and can be Matched in ~incubators.
Being such wonderfully prolific and
persistent layers, you can contract
your output to hotels, cafes, etc, and
take advantage of the special prices
with the assurance of being able to
fill the demand and rake off some
splendid profits.
