PAYS TO FERTILlZE MEADOW
increase In the Yield Of Hay Estimat'
ed From Three-ouarters to Ono
Ton Per Acre.

Several years ago when cutting hay
next to a patch of wheat in the same
Geld. l. e.. there was no fence between
I noticed that the hay adjoining the
wheat was much heavier in widths OF
. drill than elsewhere. writes F. F.
Gerlach in the Michigan Farmer; 10
fact. there was so much difference
that I began to study out the reason.
which explained itself simply enough.
In drilling the wheat the fall be-
fore with $50 pounds of 2:S:2 fertf
l.ser per acre. and running the drill
out on the meadow. there would be
from two to four feet of meadow fer.
tilized while in going back the drill
would not be set in gear until at the
edge of the wheat field, consequently
every other width of the drill would
show q marvellous difference in the
grass.
This set me to thinking that 1t
would be q good investment to fer
tilize meadows, and the following fall
I fertilized five acres with the same
result. raising sthe disks and drilling
the fertilizer over the top. and since
then We have been doing so. and i
an satisfied We harvest from three
quarters to one ton Of hay per acre
more where we use the fertilizer
The fertilizer can be sown late In the
fail before the snow covers the
ground, or in the early spring.

TO BUILD CONCRETE HOTBED
Concise Directions Given for Four

tended to Any Length.

We referred recently to the con.
crete hotbeds now built by florists
and vegetable growers. The following
directions are given for a four-sash
bed, which of course could be extend.
ed TO any length desired. A standard
botSed sash is three by six feet. Lay
out the bed six feet eight inches wide
by 81 feet 10 inches long. The con
crete walls ere six inches thick. Dig
the foundation trenches two feet six
inchea deep within the lines given
above. Make forms Of one-inch lum.
her to carry the south frcnD wall six
inches and the north (back) wall /.
inches above ground, says the Rural
New YORKER. Forms are not required
below ground level. The tops of the
end walls slope to the others. Before
filling the forms with concrete test
the dimensions Of the bed by means
of the sash See that the sash lap
the forms two inches on all sides
Mix the concrete mushy wet in the
proportion of one bag of cement To
az. cubic feet of sand to five cubio
feet OF crushed rock. or one bag OF
cement to five cubic feet OF bank-run
gravel Fill the forms without stop
pins, for anything. Tie the walls to-
gethe. at the corners by laying in
them oil. iron rods bent to right an.
