DEEP LITTER FEEDING.

y Western doctor who had 8 fine
flock OF hens, but whose hours were
so irregular hat he could not feed
them at stated times. writes nat he
has found this method to give entire
satisfaction.
For this sort OF feeding a layer Of
litter is first spread over the f1oor and
then a layer of grain such as crooked
corn or wheat, then another layer OF
litter and another Of grain, alternating
until the mass is from six to eight
inches deep.
Young chickens attack this heap
vigorously n often dig out square
holes clear down to the bottom in
their search for grain.
This continual digging gives them
plenty Of exercise and as q rule they
thrive e~xcellently.
In some experiments made in this
matter, litter-ftd chicks actually
gained much more than those fed by
hand although both lots were fed
exactly the same rationS and the
handled birds received all they could
eat and at all times.
If the litter is kept perfectly dry 1t
does not become foul q the con
slant movement of it by the chickens
keeps it Well aired and no unpleasant
OdOr results.

In the Garden and Truck Fields

January is the opening season for the
gardener. In the far South some will be
planting early potatoes. / hardly think
it wise, however, in most sections to be
In too great a hurry about this north OF
central Florida. | have seen January
planted potatoes badly frozen back in
north Florida. and potatoes that start af-
ter q freeze-back are never so productive
as those planted later that escape the
freeze.
While In most parts Of the South. Feb
ruary is as early rs the potato crop should
be planted, now is the time to get the land
prepared for them whenever it is in good
shape for blowing. It is probable that the
early potato crop will be 4 more profitable
one this season than last snring, when
there was such a great surplus of old
potatoes in the North. But it is to be
hoped that the vast area planted to this
crop in the South last spring will not be
duplicated. for there were entirely too
many planted.
But the crop Of early garden peas should
go into the ground as soon as practicable
after New Years Day, even as far north
as Eastern Nodth Carolina. The finer
varieties Of wrinkled peas will be better
planted a little later. The extra early
varieties of peas will grow in a colder soil
than the wrinkled peas. In some sections

Notes and Comments.

All over the South. and especially in the
hill section of the Piedmont country. the
eye is panied by the appearance Of field
after field with hollows grown up in
bushes, a patch OF corn here and a patch
Of broomsedge alongside and Il great lack
OF broad, clean fields. A traveller coming
for instance from the highly cultivated
fields Of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania
where weeds and bushes are absent and
the whole field cultivated in the best man
ner and in a strict rotation, would wonder
how farmers who keep their lands in such
condition as in much of the South ever
make a living. And the Pennsylvania
farmer would wonder, too, at the lines of
terrace banks circling the hill
sides, the poor makeshift for scratch plow-
ing and the absence of sod. They have
billy land, too, in Pennsylvania, but they
use heavy teams and big plows and ehave
a sod to turn for corn to hold the soil
together, and the same methods in the
South would soon do away with the ter
race banks and their weeds. and the bitches
behind the terraces would be filled with
tile Or rocks. Land that Will grow
bushes Will grow crors. and the bush
patches in the fields are simply occupying
land that should be in crops.

Fertilizer Formulas and Rational
FertiliZing.

Letter after letter is now coming TO ne
asking for fertilizer formulas for cotton.
for corn, for reanutS, and all sorts Of crops,
the idea with most men being that they
must have a formula for every crop plant
ed. l can not know the needs Of every
mans land from a general description and
no information to advise a cure-all for
every sort Of land and every crop. What
is needed more than fertilizer formulas
is a good rotation Of crops and the grow
ing and feeding Of legn,ne forage and the
making Of more MANURE, aided by the
more liberal use Of phosphoric acid and
potash. while in many sections the farmer
who farms right will never need to buy
anything in the way Of fertilizers except
plain p%hoSphoric acid. This is the con-
trolling factor in Gny fertilizer formula
But when Il man asks me for 4 formula
for corn I am apt to tell him that the
best I know is a crimson clover crop on
which the farm manure has been spread
in winter as fast as made. That will
make cheaper corn than any fertilizer
formula l can give. This is especially
true if the manure has about 100 pounds
of acid phosphate or flats mixed III every
ton. And the man who has a crimson
clover sod to turn for his cotton viii sell
dom need anything but a liberal dose Of
acid phosphate or Thomas phosphate,
which, in such a case, viii have 4 good in
uucuCc III SN0ElelltuS tic dtilS q Tie
clover. Our Southern farmers are clean
fertilizer crazy as one writer has said.
Practice q good rotation and grow plenty
Of peas and crimson clover and use phos-
phoTic acid and potash three or four times
as heavily as you have been using q com
plete low-grade S-2-2-ou your cotton,
and you will get better results and
cheaper. Then remember that phosporic
acid is one and the same thing, whether
It comes from rock or bone or Thomas
phosphate or floats. The only thing is to
consider its availability. It is more read
lily available in acid phosphate than in any
other form. but il you have the clover to
turn or manure to apply, you can profitably
use the Thomas phosphate or the floats.
But if you are simply trying to grow
crops with the aid Of fertilizers, then you
should use the highest grade, and you
will make less money in the long run than
if you farlned and improved your land.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1911-01-10

January is apt to be an idle month on
many farms. but there is always Worh that
can be done. Flowing for the spring crops
where no cover crop has been sown will
put the spring work a little ahead, but it
is always best to have a coTer crop to
turn in the spring.
For the general farmer January is a
good time to plan for a good rotation of
crops. We do not advise a rotation for the
purpose OF resting" the soil. Soil does
not get tired it gets starved, though, and
needs feeding with organic decay that Will
enable you to use commercial fertilizers
more literally and to better advantage.
Rotation means Keeping land harder at
work growing things for its Improvement
and thus increasing the sale crops. 1t
means farming as q profession instead
OF gambling on the chances with a little
fertilizer on a dead soil. 1t means put
ting life--bacterial life-into the soil, and
while getting profitable crops Of other
things besides the staple money crop to
increase the production Of the money crop.
Now is the time to study this and to plan
for the coming season. If you have not
been farming in q systematic way, deter
mine now that you viii start it.
Those who are feeding beef cattle or
dairy cows will find January no leisure
season. The fertilizer factory Of the farm
should be actively at work turning the
fora &c that has been grown into beef and
milk and butter, and the studious farmer
will find it to his advantage to study what
DR.. Butler is writing about feeds and feed
ing. The man with dairy products to sell,
or the man who will have beef cattle to
sell. will not need to borrow money to
start his cotton farming in the spring. He
will have cash for ling hands and all
other expenses. and even if ne makes only
the value of his feed on the market, he
will have the manure for his land as a
profit above the value of the feed, and
the feed will thus be going back on his
land instead Of being sold from it.

PROF. MASSEY'S VIEWS

In Southern sections where tomatoes
may be set out in March. the seed should
be sown in frames in January. and trans
planted once before setting out SO As to
have stronger plants. l have found that
the time to SOW tomato seed under glass
is about ten weeks before it will be safe
TO set them in the open ground in the
locality. 1t takes but a small space to
start plants enough to fill a large frame
when transplanted four inches apart. l
shall use the Langdon Sarl.ana for the
earliest tomato and Eugene Davis for the
main crop. Another fine tomato is the
Globe. This is being largely forced under
glass in the Lake Shore region, and is
highly spoken Of In Florida.
