Fertilizer Farming in Maine

Ii any reader CuiIlkS Iudt we Hay Z
overestimated the damage that would
come to the farmers of Illinois
through the general introduction OF
commercial fertilizers into the state,
let him read carefully the following
statement from the December bulle-
tin of the Maine Department of Ag-
riculture. Remember in this connec-
ton that the potato industry in
Maine is pointed to by Prof. Bell
and other fertilizer publicity men as
being a shining example of the bene-
fits that come from the use Of mixed
commercial fertilizers
The bulletin says 1T was learned
that farmers were paying as high as
s45 ton for fertilizer that Should
have been purchased for $32, and IN
many instances the farmer was OF
liged to contract his potatoes last
year to the fertilizer companies for
81 per barrel in order to get. the fer
tilizer he required TO raise his crop.
And when he harvested his potatoes
he turned them over to the fertilizer
companies, which allowed him 81
per barrel and then sold them for
So to $3.50 per barrel
The situation has become SO acute
in Maine that the farmers have been
forced to band together for self-pro-
lection BY cooperation they are
curbing the rapacity of the fertilizer
manufacturers to some extent
The fertilizer men are putting forth
ern farmer by the throat as they
already have the farmer of the East.
Fortunately, farmers in this section
have strong, effective help from
their experiment stations They arr
taught more modern and sensible
methods of maintaining fertility than
those advocated by the fertilizer com
panies. A little common sense on
the farmers part will prevent east
ern fertilizer history from repeating
itself here.-Prairie Farmer.
The worst feature of the situation
is that the use Of commercial fertil-
izer tends to neglect of the humus
content of the soil and the calls for
more and more. Again, the purchas
er of the so-called complete" fer
tilizer pays more for elements he
does not need than for those he does
need. Wisconsin finds a way to avoid
the fertilizer trust

Stories Exaggerated

The other day | stood near the

when | got home and read the scare
stories that the ChippWea Falls daily
papers were printing in regard to the
high water here and at the "deVilS
nest" the truth of that passage was
forcibly brOt home to me. According
to one of the above mentioned pa
pers an ice gorge twelve miles long
exists between Jim Falls and Cob
ban: now just a glance at the map
viii show that il is only five miles
from one of those towns to the other.

Wide Silos Are Best Says University
Expert

That silos should be two and a
half times as high as they are wide
is the reply of Prof c. A O'Cock, of
the department of agricultural engi-
neering of the University of Wiscon
sin to a recent question as to wheth-
er or not is it practicable to build
a concrete silo, ten feet in diameter
and fifty feet high.
AS a rule We do not consider a
silo fifty feet high and ten feet in
diameter to be we'll balanced" writes
Prof. OCock. Better proportions
would be twelve feet wide and thir-
ty-eight feet high, if silo of about
eighty tons capacity is desired.
Should a silo as narrow as ten
feet be built in order that the silage
for a small number of cows may be
fed fast enough to keep it from spoil
ing, special attention must be given
to reinforcing the walls properly
Bulletin PA, issued by the College
of Agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin, gives complete directions
for constructing silos, with tables
showing the amount of reinforcement
to be used in silos of different
heights.

Right Color in Wall Paper Makes
Rooms Look Large

The woman who wants to make her
small rooms appear larger should ex-
ercse great care in selecting the col
or for the walls, says Miss Julia r.
Grady of the Home Economics De-
partment of the University of Wis
consin. Good colors, such as grays,
green's, dull blues should be used,
while the warm colors, browns, yell
lows, and reds, should be avoided
as they have tendency to make
room seem smaller than it really is.
If the room is not so small that
the appearance of size is the first
thing that must be sought for, two
general rules for the selection of
the wall color can be given. First, If
the room has a southeastern expos
ure, have the walls gray, green, or
dull blue. Second if it has a north
western exposure, use the warm au-
tumn colors, brown, yellow and red.

Cannot Save Money BY Early Pas
turinu


Rather than to try to save money
by turning live stock to pasture very
early in spring, it is better to pro-
vide more feed else keep less stock
says Prof c. G.. Humphrey of the
College of Agriculture Of the tniVer-
sity of Wisconsin. He strongly con-
demns the folly of keeping animals
in a half starved condition. depend
ing upon spring and the following
have lost during the winter.
According to Professor Humphrey,
good pasture does not come as soon
after winter as many seem to believe.
The ground must have time to be-
come thoroughly settled and warmed
up sufficiently for a rapid growth of
all vegetation before live stock can
be pastured profitably. During this
time the grass will have made a good
start and a more satisfactory and
permanent pasture will result for the
whole season and stock will thrive
better than can be hoped for if pas
ture fields are utilized at an earlier
time. The time when pasture be-
comes suitable varies with the sea-
son, the locality, and other conditions
Ordinarily, in southgrn Wisconsin
good pasture is available after the
middle of May; for northern Wis
consin, the time would be somewhat
later.

Raising Chicks BY Hundreds

The farm poultry keeper who raises
500 Or more chicks a year finds a
brOoder house an almost indisp nsa-
ble adjunct. 1t makes it possible
to take care Of the chicks with the
least labor, gives them an abund-
ance Of air and plenty of room for
exercise in stormy weather when
they would be too closely confined
in small brooders.
The brooder house in use in Mis-
souri, poultry experiment station and
re commended ly Director Qnisen-
berry to anyone who raises large
numbers of chickens hatched by in
cubators is 40 feet long by II feet
vide on a concrete foundation with
rat-proof floor says Farm and Home.
A matched board partition through
the center provides two apartments,
each having it's own heater in center
Of room If the heater gets too
warm for the chicks nearest to it
temperature, which they cannot do
if kept in small room. Each apart
ment will house 1000 chickens and
should not be used for less than 500
as their own heat helps to regulate
the cost of building and running
heating plant is too large for a small
number.
The baby chicks are placed in one
apartment and their yard is fenced
with 12-inch wire netting SO that they
cannot get far from their foster
mother When they become large
enough to hustle around a little they
are placed in the other apartment
and allowed to roam at will, but
their water supply and dry mash
hopper are placed near the entrance
SO that they do not get very far
away There is plenty of shade in
the immediate vicinity so that they
do not have to stay in the house to
get out of the sun
The building complete with good
coat of paint cost 1925 and the self
regulating oil heaters about $40 each.
All window openings are covered
with fine wire netting to keep out
birds and rodents.

WHY NOT PURE SEED
BILL IN LEGISLATURE WITH
THAT AIM IN VIEW
ANTI-TREATING BILL KILLED
Woodmen Fight Receives Attention
From the Legislature

That pure seeds for Wisconsin far
mers will be assured by the legisla-
ture has been certain since the open
ing Of the session. Seed frauds have
been we'll known to exist and bills
We're early introduced to place in
the hands of the department of agr-
culture of the university power to
prevent further frauds. 1t is now
thought that the power of supervision
will be placed in the dairy and food
department as more effective and
more appropriate authority, Il force
OF inspectors already being in the
field. The law, it is said, will be
enacted without going into an eXpen-
sive investigation and taking part in
a fight between rival seed concerns
as proposed by Assemblyman Mahon.
1t is argued that it is an admitted
fact that seed deceptions have been
worked in Wisconsin. 1t is not
large nor complicated question and
therefore, say friends of the farmer,
why Investigate the burglary" after
it is committed? Why not get busy
and pass a law doing away with the
evil?
Woodmen Fight Before Legislature
The contending factions within the
ranks of the Modern, Woodmen of
America over the question of rates
We're given an opportunity to be
heard before the assembly commit
tee on insurance Wednesday, Ex-As-
semblyman c. B. Culbertson, repre-
senting the insurgent Woodmen, real
izing the impossibility Of getting the
Objectionable laws repealed, offered
a substitute amendment providing
that fraternal societies may be or
ganized for the purpose of carrying
what is known as step rate or cur
rent cost plan of insurance
Insurance commissioner Ekern ap-
peared for the substitute stating that
it was what he termed sound insur-
ance at actual cost. Several represen-
tatives of fraternal societies argued
against the substitute on the grounds
that over-Zealous solicitors would rep
resent the step rate plan as level
life insurance to the disadvantage of
the older societies. Mr. Culbertson
cOntended that the cheap Woodmen
rates induced a large number of poor
people to take out insurance that
would not otherwise be taken out,
thus benefiting society greatly.
Anti Treating Bill Killed
On Thursday the Assembly refused
to concur in the Teasdale anti-treat-
ing bill by q vote of 81 to 3S. The

The bill brought out a large number
