FERTILIZERS FOR BARLEY
Scientific Land nrainane.


(By Prof. H. G. Bell, Agronomist.)
Soil tlllage and seed selection have &C.
complished wonders for the improve
ment OF yields and quality in Amer
lean grown barley. In our best bar
ley growing states the yield per acre
alone has undergone an advance of
IL TO 20 per cent within the last 10
years. This is due to several factors:
Superior varieties of barley, such as
wisconsin "Oderbrucker, MINI.
1O5, Ontario Mondscheurie" and
NO. Il, have greatly augmented yield
and quality.
Better tillage methods, too, have
done their part. Proper fertilization
OF the soil has increased the yield per
acre of barley wherever attention has
been given to this valuable factor.
Inc Rothomsted experiment station,
the Oldest experiment station in Eng
land, has found that an application of
well balanced fertilizer has in
creased the yield of barley from 11.6
TO 3b.l bushels per acre, while the per
cent. of nitrogen in the berry has been
diminished slightly. "a scarcity of
nitrogen in the barley kernel is de-
sired by the masters.
The loose soils of the Mississippi
valley are usually Rich in organic mat
ter, and comparatively rich in nitro
gen. A yield of barley of 40 bushels
per acre removes approximately so
pounds nitrogen, FL pounds phosphor-
&c acid and Sc pounds of potash per
acre. The nitrogen increases the ra-
pldlty and quality of growth; the
phosphoric acid, which is Immediately
available, increases the formation of
plant cells and hastens the ripening
or the cereal and the potash increas-
es the starch of the cereal as we'll as
materially Strengthening the straw.
American experiments have shown
that an application of 500 to 600
pounds per acre of a fertilizer analyz-
ing about 1 per cent nitrogen, per
cent. phosphoric acid and per cent.
potash, has made a handsome return
for the investment
This fertilizer should be evenly dis
tributed over the land at planting
time. If liberal quantity of barn
yard manure has been used on the
crop preceding barley, and legumin-
Gus crop, such as clover, has been
ploWed into the soil preceding the
cultivated crop, there will be an album
dance of nitrogen in the soil. The
fertilizer in this case should contain
more available phosphates and pot
ash.
Fertilizers used juGiciously OF bar
ley will give large returns in yield
and quality of the crop.

STACK BARLEY AP-SHEAVES
SEPARATE.

For brewing purposes barley should
always be stacked and allowed to go
through a sweat before it is threshed,
as best results are obtained by doing
So When stacking the barley it is
best to stack the cap sheaves separate
in stack called NO 2 quality, and the
protected bright colored bundles in
stack called No. quality. This is. by
far the best way to grade barley. Ii
the discolored cap bundles are stacked
together with the bright ones it will
be impossible to grade it after it is
threshed and consequently decline in
value of the discolored and damaged
barley that has been mixed, will re-
suit. In stacking it is best to build
medium sized stacks, about seven
good loads makes O stack of proper
size.
Leave Air Space.
Stacks should not be built too close
together, but should ha space
enough between them so that the air
can circulate freely between them
which we find is a great help in cur
Ing the grain for threshlng.
Care and good judgment should be
exercised at the time of threshing,
especially if the grain is dry. The
coucaves in the machine should not be
set too close. 1t is often necessary to
take out some Of the teeth from the
cOncaves. The speed of the machine
should be reduced so that the kernels
are not broken nor the boards clipped
off too close to the kernels, which is
detrimental for mailing purposes.
Masters and thresherman know
this as leaving the barley somewhat
'1eggy." The beard should not be
clipped off closer than one-eighth inch
from the tip of the berry.
Damaged Kernels.
Damaged and broken kernels if put
in the malthouse to sprout will form
mold on the injured parts, which is
not wanted by the masters, nor will
such barley grow we'll if sown in the
ground.
For feeding purposes it would not
make much difference, discOlOred and
broken kernels have practically the
same feeding value as bright cOlored
barley, as the feeding value is not
changed by the color, but the price is
for malSing barley.
Take Good Care of Barley.
The difference in price paid for
mailing and feeding barley varies from
five cents to sixty cents per bushel,
sometimes more in favor of the malt
ing If barley is cut at the proper
time, care taken in the shocking and
stacking, and a little common sense
exercised at the time of threshing, it
would mean to the farmer revenue
far in excess of the little extra labor
expended

AMERICAN POTASH FIELDS.

There is nothing incredible in the
reported discovery of rich potash
fields in the United States-indeed it
has been expected by many people
since the necessity of potash as a
fertilizer has been harped upon by
agricultural scientists and Germany
has shown disposition to save her
own potash for her own needs Sec.
rotary of Agriculture Wilson says
that the new fields are lin the west"
which is vague, it is true, but is the
to vouchsafe. He says that the dis
covery will enable a saving Of $12,-
100000 year in the single item of
buying potash from Germany. which
will become unnecessary, says the
Milwaukee Wisconsin. Further, he
says that the new deposits contain
more than a suff1ciency to supply the
needs of the United States. From an
other source than Secretary Wilson's
comprise nearly the whole of Unita
county, in Wyoming, and portions of
Morgan, Rich and Cache counties in
Utah, and of Bear Lake, Bannock,
Bingham and Fremont counties, in
Idaho, making in all about $500 square
miles of territory which is more or
less underlain by phosphate rock.
Here, it is asserted. is the greatest
known phosphate deposit in the world.

THE OLD HONESTY AND THE
NEW.

Il it the fashion nowadays to de-
plore The general want OF moral prin-
ciple and to lament the decline OF old
fashioned honesty.
But, really how about this old fash
Toned honesty?
It is always easy to see saint in a
dead relative. just as 1t is easy to see
a statesman inadead politician Grand
fathers virtues, like grandfathers'
clocks, nay be badge Of respectable
ity, but in our own day they are not
always in good running order. our
forefathers were no better than We
are indeed. TO judge from the crit
icisn Of their contemporaries, they
were a good deal worse.
The world in which old-fashioned
honesty lived was slngularly uncom-
plicated. Smith knew Jones and Jones
knew Smith. And II the one did cheat
the other. there was every chance that
each would die in the odor OF respect
ability. Indivlduaiism set the limits
TO old-fashioned honesty
We need this individualistic homes
ty today. and we have it. But we need
today a very much bigger sort of hon
esty-an honesty which sees that our
obligations are set not alone by our
relations with each other. but also by
our relations with municipalities and
states with nation and a new world.
Such honesty is not any too common.
but II is growing
Men have gone down TO their maui
soleums labelled honest millionaires
who were directors in corporations
whose methods would bring bushes
to the cheek Of confidence man. Ac-
cording TO the standard of old fash
toned honesty there was nothing to be
said against these honest millionaires.
But from the point of view of the
new honesty they were thieves. though
they robbed legally.
Morality is always a generation or
two ahead OF legality.
The number OF offenses against the
moral end legal codes is increasing
enormously.
Moral principle never cut so large a
figure IL the affairs of this American
people as it does now.
our godly ancestors had one moral
qualm where we have twenty.
It never occurred to them that a
lottery was wrong. or that it was
wicked TO drink rum. or to whip a
child or wife. or to enslave the black
man and cheat and debauch the red
man.
Nine out OF ten of the little con-
scientious niceties Of life are discov-
cries cf the last so years. More socie-
