Make Hay While You PIow.

Make hay while you pillow your po'

your potatoes for the last time. They
will be up before the weeds get start.
This plan works we'll if you leave your
potatoes In the ground and dig them
in September, according to Albert
Dickens of the horticultural depart
ment. Other crops may be substituted
for the peas. When these are cut for
feed they leave the ground clean for
the digging of the potatoes.

COWS. In estimating the loss in hand
ling manure an average of 10 per cent.
of the total phosphoric acid of fresh
manure is estimated to be lost before
it reaches the field. This figure of
100000 tons of bran and other feeding
stuffs is an estimate, as no reliable
statistics in this regard are avail
able.
1t is plainly evident that in spite OF
the large quantity of bran purchased
in Wisconsin for the feeding of dairy
cattle, the loss of phosphorus greatly
exceeds the gain. Only on the dairy
farm of highest type is the supply of
phosphoric acid on the farm actually
maintained. AS an illustration of this,
consider the income and outgo of phos-
pl1oric acid on a dairy farm OF 100
acres, such as exists in the best dairy
sections of southern Wisconsin. On
such a farm approximately eighty
acres will be under cultivation, while
twenty will be used in wild pasture.
wood lot and homestead. 1t is esti-
mated that on such farm the stock
consists of 20 mich COWS, ten young
cattle, four horses and 20 hogs. An
average division of the crops on such
a farm would be as follows: Sixteen
acres of clover, 16 acres of mixed
clover and timothy the second year;
16 acres of tame pasture; 16 acres OF
corn, of which perhaps would be used
half for silage and half for grain;
eight acres of oats to be used as feed;
and eight acres of barley or other
grain to be sold.
Stock sold from such farm annual
ly would include on the average, three
WORKOUT dairy cows, five head OF
steers or their equivalent of veal
calves, and 20 hogs. The concentrated
feeding stuffs purchased would be APP

Universal Use Of Wide Tires.

A long step would be taken toward
improving the highways of the coun-
try were so simple thing to be done
as the enactment by state legislatures
of laws compelling the use of wide
tired vehicles for the hauling of loads
to and from market.
This would not alter the contour OF
roads out of shape, take the place OF
the road drag or of graveling or ma
cadamizing roads which would other
wise be impossible, but it would dc
more to improve country roads than
any simple policy which has been put
into effect up to the present time.

placed inside the chamber ali the air
is withdrawn, leaving the body In
vacuum. 1t is claimed that signs OF

Of the chamber, this being due to the

PHOSPHATE PROBLEM
In BADGER STATE
BY PROF. A. r. WHITsoN,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Phosphates are lost from the soil of
the farm in a variety of ways. When
grain is sold, two-thirds to three
fourths of the entire phosphates used
in the growing plant is lost to the
farm.
A considerable amount is lost when
milk and cheese are sold from the
farm. The sale of live stock is also a
source Of considerable loss, but per-
haps the largest single source of loss
is in manure. Estimates based on a
considerable number of determine
lions indicate that the average loss
from barnyard manures as commonly
handled is approximately Is per cent.
of their total content of phosphoric
acid. This substance exists in the
soil in extremely variable quantities,
so much so, that In Wisconsin in some
areas the total amount of phosphoric
acid in the surface eight inches of an
acre Is only $50 pounds. while in other
sections there are 5000 pounds In an
acre to the same depth.
