At the Canada experimental farms
in a horse feeding test it was found
that corn and bran to 2, or barley

portions, although both the corn and
barley were less pala table than the

PAYS TO FERTILIZE MEADOW
ed From Three-Quarters to One
Ton Per Acre.

Several years ago when cutting hay

field, /. 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 fall be-
fore with $50 pounds Of 2:8:2 ferti-
lizer per acre, and running the drill
out on the meadow, there would be
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 1t
would be a good investment to fer
tilize meadows and the following fall
| fertilized 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
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.

move the brood-frames in a mass over

ed, down into the under body, push
ing each and the preceding frames
