PAYS TO FERTILIZE MEADOW
Increase in the Yield OF Hay Estimat-
ed From Three-Quarters to One
Ton Per Acre.

Several years ago when cutting hay
next to a patch of wheat in the same
field, i. e., there was no fence between,
| noticed that the hay adjoining the
wheat was much heavier in widths of
a drill than elsewhere, writes F. p.
Gerlach in the Michigan Farmer; in
fact, there was SO much difference
that l began to study out the reason,
which explained itself simply enough
IN drilling the wheat the fail be-
fore with $50 pounds of 2:8:2 ferti-
lizer per acre, and running the drill
from two to four feet of meadow fer
tilted while in going back the drill
would not be set in gear until at the
edge of the wheat field, consequently
every other width Of the drill would
show a marvellous difference in the
grass.
This set me to thinking that it
would be a good investment to fer
tilize meadows, and the following fall
| fortified five acres with the same
result, raising the disks and drilling
the fertilizer over the top, and since
then we have been doing SO, and l
am satisfied we harvest from three
quarters to one ton of hay per acre
more where we use the fertilizer
The fertilizer can be sown late in the
fall before the snow covers the
ground, or in the early spring.

in the top of the concrete for counter
sinking the sash to the level of the
walls with an allowance of One-quar-

done by temporarily Embedding in the

strips as soon as the concrete stiffens.
Take down the forms after five days.

bed is allowance for the three center
bars between the sash. These sash
supports are of dressed one-inch stuff,
shaped like a capital 'T' turned up

the "T' is equal to the thickness OF
the sash and the top is three inches

TO 3UILD CONCRETE HOTBED
Concise Directions Given for Four

tended to Any Length.

We referred recently to the con-
crete hotbeds now built by florists
and vegetable growers. The following
directions are given for four-sash
bed, which of course could be extend
ed to any length desired. A standard
hotbed sash is three by six feet. Lay
out the bed six feet eight inches vide
by 81 feet 10 inches long. The con-
crete walls are six inches thick. Dig
the foundation trenches two feet SIX
inches deep within the lines gwen

inches and the north (back} wall Ia

New Yorker. For,ps are not required
below ground level The tops of the
end walls slope 50 the others, Before
filling the forms with concrete test
the dimensions of the bed by means
of the sash. See that the sash lap
the forms two inches on ali sides.
Mix the concrete mushy wet in the
proportion of one bag of cement to
21h cubic feet of sand to five cubic

Alternate Cold and Warmth.

Extremes in temperature in a poul-
try-house should be avoided as far as
possible. This was the objection to
the old glass-front house which warm
ed up in the day time, but radiated
a corresponding amount Of heat at
night The effect is the same as
bringing a chicken in out of the cold
letting it's como become tenGer due
to the warm room, and then taking
it back into the cold again. Frozen
combs are quite often due to rapid ex-
tremes in temperature rather than
continued cold: for this reason the
old glass-front house has given wGy
to the muslin-glass combination ard
to the open front.

OF COURSE NOT.

Mr. Levi is a kind-hearted, con-
seientious man, an example of what
Maeterlinck calls our anxious moral
ity." But he is also German, and
spends the pennies hard. He has a
hired man who says, 'Mr. Levi s
queer; he wants me to work all the
time he has me hired for" Mr.. Levi
also has young horse that balks. IF
you would just let me take a whip
to him once!" the hired man expostu-
lated, exasperated and yet dominated
by the others point of view. Mr..
Levi looked at him uneasily; stood
first on one foot, and then on the
other. Amt there nothir' else you
could be doin'?" he asked, "tiil he gets
ready to start?"

DYNAMO OF COUNTRY HOUSE
Electric Power for Lighting, Heating

Ordinary Automobile

CARE NEEDED FOR HARNESS
Before Applying Oil Thoroughly Wash
and Free 1t From Sweat and
Dirt-Use Ivory Black

First thoroughly wash the harness
to free 1t from sweat and dirt. Per
haps the easiest way to accomplish
this is to take the harness to pieces
and soak it over night in strong soap
suds, having the water as warm as is
comfortable to hold the hand in when
the harness is first put IN. II too hot
it will scald the leather.
When taken out in the morning
most of the dirt is gone, and a little
rubbing with a coarse rag Will remove
the spots that did not soak Off.
Neatsfoot oil is, in the long run. the
cheapest oil for oiling leather of any
kind, and especially harness, as It is
exposed to the action of dirt. sweat
and very often is out in the rain.
If the harness is not very dry, a
half gallon of oil will be enough for
an ordinary set of double harness,
though sometimes harness is so dry
that a gallon would be none too
much A nickels worth of ivory
black will give color and polish to
the leather if it be mixed we'll with
the oil before using. Be sure to get
ivory-black and not lamp-black, as
the latter rubs off badly.
Have the oil warm, and as you take
the straps out of the water, run them
few times through the oil, wipe off
with a rag and hang up to dry. If not
then soft enough, repeat the opera
ton. Treat your harness in this way,
and it looks like new, and if it is
outlast three or four sets that never
receive any oil 1t is an old saying
that five oilings equal new har-
ness"

CESSATION Period of Ewes.

The CESSATION period of the eve, or

age. Ewes bred in the middle of Oc-
tober are due to lamb in the middle
Of Marcia good time for lambs to
come if good shelter is available. If
shelter is poor, however, it is better
for the lambs to come the last of
March. A tried ram is of great value
in fnsuring the time for the lambs to
arrive 1t is great disappointment
to have lambs coming for a period of
six weeks.

HINTS OF DUCKS AND GEESE
DuckIing Should Be Marketed Before
Twelve Weeks OId-Same Is
Said of GosIngs.

A Pekin duckling weighs about two
ounces when Matched, and should
take on weight as follows: Three to
four weeks, one pound; six to eight
weeks, four TO four and one-half
pounds; and at ten weeks, five and
one-half to six pounds. Ducklings
should be marketed at from nine to
twelve weeks of age. After that they
take on weight slowly, and it is not
profitable to keep them longer than
twelve weeks.
Geese grow about as rapidly as
ducks. Allowance OF course must be
made for the original difference in
siZe-newly Matched goslings weigh
ing about four ounces. Turkeys do
not grow rapidly at the start, but de-
velop much quicker after three
months of age.

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and it's accompanying mis-
cries.
A Phila. lady said:
My husband and l have been sick
and nervous for 10 Or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion,

Marketing the Product.

In marketing pork, like in market
ing the rest of the farm products
there are often good reasons for sell
ing on foot and allowing the various
middlemen to do the distributing even
if they do take good-siZed toll. But
many farmers are so situated that
they can and do reach the consumer
directly, and if they possess any get
up can make good money by selling
directly to the consumer. There are
many dairymen who market their
butter directly and as the fall ap-
proaches start marketing pork
