To Use Fertilizer or Not
Is Question

NJ ROWERS all over Washington are
W now bordering the question of
commercial fertilizers.
Arguments will be heard every
where pro and con the query: Do
they pay?
On the whole it seems safe to say
that the majority OF farmers have not
had too much experience with these
aids to agriculture.
In England, and the continent of
Europe, as is generally known, COM
mercial fertilizer is the rule rather
than the exception. There is a rea-
son: Often the lands demand lavish
applications.
The enormous shipments of guiana
the droppings of sea birds-from
South Pacific islands, and the vari-
Gus mineral deposits from Chile and
Bolivia indicate to what a great ex-
tent commercial fertilizers are being
used the world over. Yet, the ques-
ton: To use or not TO use is one that
each farmer must answer for him
self.
A study of the evidence seems clear
ly to indicate that the intelligent use
of commercial fertilizers most assur-
eddy pays. Agricultural science has
shown that cultivated plants require
at least ten elements. Six of these are
in abundance in all soils and the air,
but four that are essential to plant
growth are often present only in very
small quantities. /. E., nitrogen, phos-
phorus, potassium and lime. Now
every crop taken from the land means
the removal of so much nitrogen,
phosphorus, potassium and lime. and
unless some of these elements are re-
stored by applications of animal ma
nures or commercial fertilizers, or by
the growing and blowing under Of
leguminous cover crops, it means that
slowly but surely the land is becoming
Impoverished. Beyond any question
the total amount of plant food in the
soils is sufficient to grow crops for
many, many generations to come, but
that is not the point.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-02-13
Quarantine Pen On Farm

By quarantine pen we mean simply
pen or few pens which are stu
ated a safe distance from the main
hog pens or yards. Such pen should
contain comfortable sleeping quarters
as well as room for exercise and
should be so arranged that the owner
need not go inside TO feed or water.
Such an arrangement seems lot OF
bother. but it is very wise plan TO
follow. AS the number of hogs in
creases, diseases will become more
troublesome. Every new hog coming
to the farm should be kept by itself
for at least 10 days or two weeks.
Then il 1t has shown no indications
of sickness, spray it with good dip
and introduce the animal to the herd
Keep the quarantine pen clean and
ready for use. II any of your hogs
get sick and you have any reason to
suspect a contagious disease, at once
separate the well hogs from the sick

This Man Nets 135 Per
Cent a Year

rHERE are few farming regions in
Il the United States which will per-
NIT a man to raise a crop in one year
which will bring him 1876 per cent of
the value of his land, yet Claud Har-
mon, farmer and stockman in Yuma
county, 20 miles south of Holyoke.
Colo, realized that percentage on his
farm last year.
Harmon has 100 acres of land. All
of it was planted in cane, and after
the crop was harvested he found he
received yield of 20 bushels of seed
an acre. which was sold at 81 bushel,
or $4,000 for the entire crop. In adj
dition he got 200 tons of feed, worth
$3.50 a ton, or 800. The total amount
received from his land last year was
$4,000. According to his own figures
his land is worth between SIS and $40
an acre. Taking advantage of the
higher figure. his farm is worth
$4,000, or 500 less than the amount
he received from his crop.

Mongrel Geese.

The mongrel goose is generally the
result of a meeting between a Can
ada gander and some dark colored
domestic, usually an African or q
Toulouse. 1t is difficult to fatten mon
grels properly until the cool weather
comes, when they fatten very readily.
They are never sold as green geese,
being reserved for the Christmas
trade.
We place no stock in the theory
that the pure breeds give us better
quality in flesh, however; that is a
matter of food and care. A mongrel
properly fed will have better favored
meat than the pure bred improperly
fed.

When done remove from the fire
and turn into tub or jars or let stand

Then cut into blocks. using a long
butcher knife and fork so that the

IN HOSE who are inclined to the be-
lief that soap-making on the
farm is a long and arduous
process should read the narration of
one Washington family, which has
found that at butchering time soap
becomes a by-product.
In olden days-and not so very
olden, say in the time of our grand
parents, soap-making was drudgery
The necessary I've had to be leached
from ashes. The whole thing was a
tedious process. Nowadays, with the
ever-ready box of commercial potash,
it is much easier than many other
necessary tasks on the farm.
Two Hogs Killed
Soap should always be one of the
by-products of the butchering season.
And when butchering is carried on,
the unnecessary buying of soap is one
of the leaks in household manage
ment, and, it might be said, no in
considerable leak. OF course, in rush
seasons it will often be found more
economical to buy soap than to make
it, taking into consideration the time
lost in making soap.
In one family of three persons on a
Washington farm, no soap is bought
except for toilet use. But two hogs
are killed each Fall, averaging about
200 pounds apiece. Yet this family
never runs out of good, hard, home
made soap, and usually has a supply
well ahead. Meat rinds are not thrown
to the chickens, dogs and cats. 1t
is a great mistake to think that soap
l. l.
A large crock is kept into which are
dropped all rind, trimmings of hams
and shoulders, even lard cracklings,
and to this are added any surplus
meat fryings or fat of any kind, which
should, however, be free from sedi-
ment or lean meat bits Of any kind.
The weight of this material has the
same value for soap-making as an
equal weight of clear grease.
No Hard Rules
There are no hard and fast rules for
making soap. One gains knowledge
and skill by experience in this as in
other things, but with ordinary judg-
ment and common sense there Is little
danger of failure. To each five pounds
of grease allow one box of potash
and a gallon of soft water. Put the
water in a large iron kettle, out-of-
doors, and add the I've. Stir with a
stick until dissolved, then add the
grease and boil until all scraps are
eaten up. Keep the fire low in order
to prevent the pots boiling over and
add a little cold water from time to
time to keep the contents down; also
stir often AS soon SIS the mixture
has boiled about two hours and the
scraps are all dissolved add another
gallon of water for each box of I've
used and boil until 1t looks "soapy,'
then add a handful or two of salt.

Biting the lips WILL of course, red

soon fades, and the lips will become
thick and coarse. If the lips are very
thin they can be made fuller in this
