long as possible so as to admit OF
horse cultivation. See that there IL
nothing In the garden but vegetables.
Don't have it half orchard and half

bushes should be planted in long row
on one side OF the garden so as not to
interfere with the vegetable rows.
Arrange your garden so that sue
cession of vegetables may be had the
year round. Get all the early crops
like peas, onions, beets, and parsnlps
that need to be planted in March or
early April into one section OF the gar
den, SO that as they are removed the
same piece of ground may be used for
such crops as late turnips, spinach
and kale later on.
Any planting that is of a permanent
character, such as rhubarb or aspara-
gus should be in rows on one side OF
the garden and running its full length.
Do not set such plants In beds or
patches that will interfere with the
blowing and fitting of the balance OF

some Of the most common types Of
cuts in badly BLEED Chickens \ study
of these illustrations indicates very
plainly why these chickens are badly
bled, The lower jaws from these heads
were removed 50 that the position of
the cuts could be noted. Head A has
had two cuts. One has run parallel
with the connection between the two
veins and very close TO it but has not
cut it. and another has run from the
angle of the mouth too close to the
point where the blood vessel on the
left side of the head breaks into the
two smaller vessels and penetrates
the bones Of the skull. The only YES
sells which were cut In this chicken
were the small superficial veins sup
plying the roof Of the mouth and from
which the bleeding amounted to al
most nothing. Head b shows cut
In the right direction but it did not go
quite far enough back to reach the
veins at their Junction. Head A, in
the cut shows the cross cut which
Is advocated by 50 many killers In
this case it was made too far front.
Both of the large veins escaped and
only the small vessels of the roof OF
the mouth were disturbed. "B" is a
good illustration Of indiscriminate cut
ting by badly directed knife, which
in all probability was far too large,
since the upper cut extends all the
way across the roof of the chickens
mouth and almost as far front as the
beak. Another cut which partly fol-
lows the groove IN the roof OF the
mouth would indicate that the killer
had tried to make a cross cut.

WHAT TO PAY FOR YOUR FERTL

How To Figure the Cash Value OF
Fertilizer From the Analysis Given.
W. z. HANGER,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When We buy commercial fertilizer
We are buying food for our crops just
as we buy feeds for our livestock Its
value per ton to us depends largely on
the kind of materials used in its make
up Fertilizers are generally spoken
of as 2-S-4 or 1-S-5 fertilizers according
to their analysis, which means in the
case OF the 2-S4 fertilizer that 1t con
tains per cent. Nitrogen, s per cent
Phosphoric Acid and per cent Pot
ash. SO when we have the analysis
given, we ought to have a good idea OF
what ton of a fertilizer is worth.
A simple and certain rule to follow
is to multiply the per cent. Of nitrogen
by three, which In this case would be
times 3 or 8. Then add to this fig
ure the per cent. available of Phos
phoric Acid and that of Potash, which
would mean with a 2-S-4 fertilizer. 6

To the value OF the fertilizer we
must add the cost of mixing the ma

price of a Pa fertilizer ought to be.
We, of course, take il for granted that
the fertilizer offered is up to its guar

fertilizer you think Of buying.

Stan Pennoek, the Ali-American

Ernie Seucy undisputed right TO the
