Manuring and FertiliZing Truck
CPODS.

The Department of Agriculture re-
Gently received a report from the
Maryland Experiment Station con-
ing and fertilizing experiments with
truck crops in which it was sought
to bring out the relative merits of
stable manure and commercial fer
tiliZer, plowing under commercial fer
tilizer as compared with using it as
top-dressing narrowed into the soil
just before planting the crop, heavy
and light applications of commercial
fertilizers and of fresh and rotted
manures. rotted manure turned and
unturned, while in the compost bean,
commercial fertilizers derived entire
ly from mineral sources and those
derived entirely from animal and
vegetable sources, and the use of
stable manure as compared with COM
mercial fertilizer for sweet potatoes.
The manures and commercial fer
tilizers were used in connection with
green crops turned under. AS nearly
as possible, the same amount of ac-
tual plant food was supplied in the
chemical fertilizer as was found in
the stable manure. The results
briefly summarized are as follows:
Stable manures always increased
the yields, but valued at SO per ton
did not give as much profit as COM
mercial fertilizer.
Fresh manure spread in winter did
not give as much increase as the same
amount rotted and plowed down at
same date in the spring.
Turning the manure while rotting
was better than leaving it without
being turned.
Commercial fertilizers plowed un-
der in the spring invariably gave
larger yields than when sowed on the
surface just before planting in the
summer.
About $50 pounds Of commercial
fertilizers seemed to he more profit
able than three times that amount.
Continuous crops of sweet pota-
toes on the same land does not an
pear to be bad practice.

Hog Cholera Preservation.

Arsenic One-half pound, cape aloes
one-half pound. blue vitriol one-quar-
ter pound, black animony one ounce;
grind and mix we'll before using.
Directions for Using: First. Sick
hogs, in all cases. to be separated
from the we'll ones. and put in dry
pens with five to eight large hogs in
each pen.
Second. Feed nothing but dry food
no water, only slops containing the
remedy, until cured.
Third. When hogs refuse to eat,
turn them on their backs, and then,
with a long-handled spoon. put the
dry mixture down their throats.
Fourth. Dose for large hogs, one
teaspoonful three times a day for
three days: then miss one day. and
repeat amount until cured. Shoats
or pigs, one-half the amount.
Fifth. AS a preventive: One tea
spoonful once a week will keep hogs
in healthy condition to take on fat.
You can place one well hog in a pen
with 100 sick ones, and with this
remedy keep him we'll.
Sixth. Let no other stock but hogs
have access to this remedy, as it is
to them deadly poison.

In theory the limit OF production
of agricultural staples in this great
country is long way off. We have
vast area of soil capable of enor-
nous production. This area is far
from being under complete cultiva-
ton. A still greater opportunity for
expansion lies in the increase of the
yield per acre. In the course of time.
with scientific cropping, average
yields of staple crops can be doubled
in this country just as they have been
in older countries. But it will take
time to do this just as it has taken
several generations OF men to accom-
plish 1t abroad. This talk of doubling
average yields at once is all nonsense.
1t can't be done in five years nor in
ten, but must be the result of years
of growth in the knowledge and ap-
plication of correct principles of
farming. The lump to be leavened
with these years is a huge one and
the process is not swift Just at this
stage of our agricultural development
expansion is limited to a considerable
extent by the lack of new land. on
pended for two hundred years to
build larger their national store
houses and to fill them. 1t is limited
by the fact that no large area of land
can be renewed or restored in one
year or in several of them. But most
of all it is limited by the lack of
power.
Such an assertion as this last may
be considered strange in view of the
great, development Of the science of
applying power to agriculture, but it
is correct, nevertheless. True enough,
we have increased the mechanical
power applicable to agriculture. The
plow, the cultivator, the reaper. the
thresher, horse, steam, wind, gasoline
and even electricity have all been ap-
piled. More power is available to
agriculture to-day than ever before
of every kind, except one-and that
boundary Of agricultural expansion
to-day. Without men areas cannot
be enlarged promptly to any consid-
cradle extent. Without men land
cannot be renewed and yields in
creased. Without men all the power
of hundred Niagaras in every State
would do little to expand our national
storehouses. The men have gone into
other things. The older generation
has not deserted agriculture so ex-
tensively except as forced to do so by
advancing years or permitted to do
so by success, but recent generations,
as they have appeared, have gone
away from the farm into other lines
of work made profitable by our Won
derful industrial development. Grad
ually, man power on the farm has
become reduced, and much of our
machinery has come in response to
the demand created by its absence
Gradually, also, it must come back if
our production of agricultural staples
is to keep pace with the growing
needs Of the nation.-National Stock

Awful Burning Itch Cured in a Day.
I'm the middle of the night of
March 30th / woke up with a burning
Itch in my two hands and I felt as if
could pull them apart. In the morn
ing the itching had gone to my chest
and during that day 1t spread all over
my body. l was red and raw from
the top Of my head to the soles of NV
feet and l was in continual agony
from the itching. 1 could neither lie
down nor sit up. I happened to see
about Cuticura Remedies and I
thought I would give them a trial. I
took good bath with the Cuticura
Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment
put 1T on from my head down to nv
feet and then went to bed. On the
first Of April I felt like a new man.
The itching was almost gone. con-
tinued with the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment and during that
day the itching completely left me.

Strawberry Beds.

Strawberry beds should be culti-
vatcd as soon as the weather is mild
and the soil dry enough to encourage
growth. If the plants do not seem
strong and pushing, apply a mixture
OF 200 pounds Of nitrate of soda, 500
pounds Of acid phosphate, and 500
pounds Of muriate of potash at the
rate OF 400 or 500 pounds per acre.
Let this be worked into the soil as
the crop is cultivated. Spread the
mixture down each side OF the rows
and not on the plants, rs it is caustic
and will Eurn them.

Treatment OF Meadows.

Meadows intended to be moved
should be topdressed with rotted
manure, with forty pounds of acid
phosphate per ton added to it, or, II
there be no manure available, then
with $50 or 400 pounds of half acid
phosphate and half bone meal. After
top-dressing run a bush harrow over,
or, what is better, a chain harrow
should be raked off and then a roller
be run over the land. Later, when
the grass has begun to grow freely,
apply a top-dressing of from 100 to
$50 pounds of nitrate of soda per
acre, and you will get a hay crop
worth cutting.
