FUNCTIONS OF FERTILIZERS
Commercial or Artificial Article Is
Used to Increase Fertility Above
Natural Capacity.

(By c. w. COLVER, Assistant Chemist,
Idaho Experiment Station.)
Fertilizers are applied to the soil
for two general purposes-to main.
tain and to increase fertility.
Chief among those fertilizers that
are used for maintaining the fertil-
ity of the land is barnyard n
This is it's main function, and just
as long as the principal constitu-
ents of the manure are all derived
from the soil it cannot increase its
fertility-at best, it a only main
tain it's fertility.
If, however, the barnyard manure
is obtained wholly or in part from
external sources it may increase fer
tility. Two such cases are plainly
evident. For examples, when the
%barnyard is purchased from
town stables, as it is often done for
truck gardening near cities, or when
it is derived from fertilizing ingredi-
ents contained in oil cake or other
concentrated feeding stuffs consumed
by stock.
The commercial or artificial fertil
izers, which have been employed for
a good many years, are used chiefly
for increasing the fertility of the soil
or, in other words, increasing the
| productiveness of the soil above it's
natural capacity. Although this is
their leading function, they act as
restorative agents whenever they are
applied when barnyard manure is
withheld.
In general, the restitution Of the
fertility of the land is accomplished
chiefly by the barnyard manure that
is returned to the soil during q given
crop rotation, and the increase in
crops is produced by commercial or
artificial fertilizers.

When fall is here, and the price of
eggs begins to climb upward, with the
sure prospect of good prices all win
ter, then those who have given but
little attention to the poultry during
the rest of the year will begin to ask
How shall l make my hens lay
through the winter?"
1t is uphill work to take a flock Of
hens that have been poorly cared for
and are altogether unprepared, and
by caring for them after cold wealth
er is already here, get them to lay
ing before spring.
The time to begin preparations for
the winter harvest is In the spring,
and the start must be made by choos-
ing for the parents Of your laying
stock only those fowls that are strong
and healthy and good laying stock.
BY this care in selecting the eggs
from which to hatch your next win
ter's layers you give them hereditary
tendencies to be good layers and good,
strong constitutions to help them de-
velop quickly and enable them to stand
the strain Of early and heavy lay
ing.
If this has all been done, and the
little chicks Matched, then winter eggs
or no winter eggs depend entirely on
your care for and feeding of these
chicks to prepare them for their win
ter's work.
They must be fed we'll and a variety
of food, so that the whole body will
develop properly.
Bone and muscle must keep ahead
OF the fat, but if only %fattening food
is given them they cannot grow bone
and muscle, so feed them bran and cut
oats or oatmeal and cut bone, as
well as coarsely ground corn. They
must also have food in ONE form
Good, sweet beef scraps are all right
for this, or skim milk will take the
place of meat.
Although they should be fed as
much as possible to hurry their
growth, they must not be fed enough
to cause indigestion. They must be
given the habit of eating a great deal
of food, but must also be given a good
digestion with which to handle it.
The ability to assimilate large guam
titles of food is absolutely necessary
for a heavy layer.
AS an aid In helping them to digest
their food and in growing muscle ex
ercise is very important. If they are

they will get exercise enough in keep
ing up with her, but If they are con-
fined in houses or yards then let them
scratch for the most of their food in
some light, clean litter or some loose
earth.
Keep them supplied with fresh
drinking water and chick size grit.
Many Chicks die or have their diges-
ton ruined because they are not sup
piled with grit and water.
They must also be kept free from
lice. No chick can grow when a swarm
of these little pests is drawing the life
from it's little body.
They must not be crowded in a
coop. Overcrowded chicks will not
grow well or keep healthy. They must
have plenty OF fresh air and shade and
sunshine, both, SO they choose which
they please.

dare to do even mere than we do in
some respects. They have wonderful
faith in the future; they hesitate at no
undertaking that offers prospects of
results. More significant still Is the
wide cooperation for agricultural pro-
motion, including the government,
private individuals and corporations
and the railroads"
Canadians are putting great faith
In education for the development OF
their resources-no the old education,
but vocational and technical. Prov
inces that have less than half the pop
ulation of Iowa and much less wealth
are appropriating more literally for
colleges and schools. Manitoba, for
instance, has in the last two years
provided about as much money for the
building Of an agricultural plant as
Iowa has appropriated in hall a cen
fury. 1t has given in two years 81
500, GOO for buildings and grounds for
it's agricultural institutions.
Saskatchewan is building q plant

lege on o broader and more substan-
tial plan than } j.been applied TO any
similar institution in this country. Yet
neither province has more than half a
million population.
For public schools equally gener-
Gus provision is made. They are be-
ing built up to give vocational and
technical training as well as cultural.
They fit the needs of the country *
cellently and should turn out fine
types of boys and girls. They do this
with a remarkable faith in the value
of right education.
Dean Curtiss was much interested
in the many other ways the Canadian
government aids agriculture, aside
from appropriations for educational
purposes. They are aiding in solving
marketing problems; they are encour
aging better breeding of livestock by
buying sires and reselling them al
cost, and they are doing many Other
things of like character.

vancing from SO to IS per cent. Of

Dean Curtiss, and it is doing it at

breeds and sends them in at cost price
