After the sardines have cooled they
are deprived OF their tails and packed

Preparation of the Garden for

Here are few good plans to put
your garden in the best shape for next
years crops. After the various vege-
tables have ripened and the plants
died, the garden should be plowed. If
you are keeping chickens, it would
be well TO harrow and SOW to vetch
or rape, either OF which will give you
a good crop OF green food for the
chickens. This can be planted as late
as August 10. Sow it thickly and give

POTASH FERTILIZERS.
Experiments Show That kainite Pro-

Experiments made In France 10y w.
Golte show that potash fertilizers have
the property of protecting crops against
damage from frost In order To show
what results are obtained In different
cases he proceeds as follows:
Three areas OF Il quarter OF an acre
each were sown with rye The first
area did not receive any fertilizer. and
on the second and third there were
spread 30 aud 1870 pounds. respective
~, of the fertilizer known ms "kainte.
After period of heavy frosts 1t was
found that the ground of the area
which was strongly fortified had not
been frozen. The second or less fer
tilted area was much less frozen than
the untreated field. The author con
siders that this effect Is no doubt due
10 the saline solution ut the surface OF
the soil However, he finds that the
sprouts on the strongly treated area
were less fourishing than the others,
aud the leaves seemed To have lost Il
considerable percentage of water 10y

period the pathological symptoms dis.
appeared and the plant showed rap

ON the contrary, on the nontreated
area the effects Of the frost We're shown

Mo siIo and silage.

Poor corn makes good silage and
good silage balanced by other feeds
IS June blue grass pasture for the win
ter months. Some farmers of St.
Joseph county have been wise in this
fact for years. many more in recent
years. and this year hes witnessed an
increase Of probably so per cent.
sllo filling is now IN full progress,
and much corn badly hurt by the
drought and high temperature Is max
ing splendid feed.
Since the cattle industry OF our
most of this silage will be fed 10 dairy
cows. OF which St. Joseph farmers
own about 10000, with a total value
of $45O,OGO. producing annually a pro-
duct worth approximately $6OO,OO0
IL is evident that these cows do not
all receive silage as part Of their daily
Tations, since the total production Of
milk and cream should be worth at
least $1,000, 900.
There are also a few good beef cat
tie feeders in the county. Most Of
these. though not all, are farming the
Kankakee river bottom land, where
on account of unbalanced plant food
conditions. late spring frOsts and early
fall frOsts. corn so frequently does not
mature. This corn will however make
good silage and one farmer has
equipped himself with enough silos to
store 200 tons.
Corn can be converted into silage
much later than this. There are
records where shock corn was run
into silos as late as the middle Of Feb
ruary, and by adding plenty OF water
during the filling process silage was
produced OF splendid feeding value.
IL Is not too late therefore TO erect a
silO IL you have corn which should be
converted into silage.
Silos are constructed these days Of
wood, glazed tile, concrete and oc-
casiOnally one OF galvanized iron.
The concrete silO has the lead in st.
Joseph county. and of the various
types OF concrete silo, more concrete
stone silos were constructed this sea-
son than any other type. It is usually
considered by farmers who use silos
that they pay for themselves within
the first or second year. and the ben
efits thereafter are clear profit.
This large increase in siloS will help
very materially TO winter a larger
number OF cattle and horses even II
our hay crop this year has fallen be-
low the average. The writer has
knowledge OF one farmer who has
filled his silO with a mixture Of corn
and SOY beans, both reasonably we'll
matured This should almost make a
we'll balanced ration.
Mr.. Bordner has made arrange
ments with the NNeWs-Times manage
ment TO supply the paper with an aru-
Gle every week.
