We SHOULD HAVE
BETTER GRASS YIELDS
Seeding Timothy To Itself With Lib
eral Top Dressing Doubles
the Yield.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.


Station.
The yield of timothy hay in Mary
land, both in quality and in the tons
per acre is far below what could be
protitsbly produced on the land now
in meadow. In fact, farmers have
harvested so many unsatisfactory
crops of late years that they are in
clined to try something new as a
forage crop if anything can be found
that would be an improvement on
timothy, red top, or the clovers.
The remedy, | believe, is not to be
found in new crop. but in better
cultural methods than those we al
ready have. Recent experiments at
the Maryland Experiment Station indi-
cate that much improved yield may
be secured by seeding grass to itse
in the early fall and by the proper use
of fertilizers in the spring. These
tests carried on in three fields, one of
timothy, one of red top, and one OF a
mixture of timothy, red top and clover
showed that phosphOric acid when ap-
piled alone as in raw bone, acid rock,
or any other material had very little
effect on timothy, red top or any
other grass. On the other hand,
nitrogen or ammonia, especially as
found in Nitrate of Soda, regularly
gave a large increase in yield.
Taking into account, the ease of
applying the fertilizer and the quality
of the hay, the best results were got
ten by using equal parts of nitrate of
soda and acid phosphate at the rate of
$50 pounds Of each per acre. As COM
pared to strips of grass adjoining that
had no fertilizer used on it the yield
in 1912 was 1.33 tons per acre as
against 294 tons where the above mix
ture was applied as top dressing.
In 1913 the yield was 81 tons, as
against 2.93 tons or over three times
the yield on land where no fertilizer
was used; $50 pounds of nitrate of
sode was found to be the most
economical amount to use in making
the greatest profits possible by top
dressing.
The fertilizer should be applied as
soon as the grass starts to grow

LEGWEAKNEss IN CHICKS.

A small flock of chickens on free
range will usually get plenty of bone
forming material from the bugs and
insects they pick up, but in the case
of large fiOcks there isn't enough to go
around, especially if kept on a re-
stricted run. Lime and ashes will help
some, but are not enough. The safest
plan is too keep some ground or granu.
lated bone in dish before the chicks
at all times.
They will eat very little, but this
little they want badly. Let's not have
any weak-legged crooked breasted,
hump-backed, loose-feathered, I'M
healthy looking creatures in our back
yards this spring A few cents worth
of bone will work wonders.

NURSES STORY NOT FINISHED

Mrs Amy L. Ramsden. the London
nurse, was still on the witness stand
when court adjourned until Monday.
Attorney r. Ross Perry of counsel for
the proponents of the will, has not

nurse.
Mrs Ramsden claimed that Stilson
Hutchins was incompetent when at At
lantic City in December 1909. Mr.
Perry showed the witness yesterday a
check to her order entirely filled out
by Mr.. Hutchins. which indicated that
he calculated the amount due the nurse
in pounds. shillings and pence. The
lawyer also exhibited to the nurse sew
eral checks which she admitted filing
in, and which she said Mr.. Hutchins
signed for her salary.
