FROM OYLER

Just now a great deal is being
said about science and scientific
farming, The people seem to dis
like the word science" very much,
ia fact, it is about the least thing to
farming. DR.. Seamon A. Knapp,
the founder of demonstration work,
says; Agriculture may be divided
into eight parts, One-eiehth is
science, three.eights art and four
eiehts business management"
So you see science is a very small
factor in producing large crops,
The greatest problem the farmer
has to solve is how to keep up the
fertility of his soil and gather pay
ing crops at the same time. Here
is where the art and business part
comes in. What we want to know
is how to obtain and put plant food
in our land the cheapest way,
Potash and phosphorus come en-
tirely from the ground, and we make
them available for plant food by
plowing our land deep in the fall
and bringing this mineral matter to
the surface, where it freezes during
the winter, All nitrogen comes
from the air. When the ground Is
as loose and fine as 1t should be the
soil contains much Dir and therefore
the moist soil absorbs nitrogen
directly and plants capture 1t from
the air through their leaves and
roots,
The next cheapest way for the
farmer to put plant food In the
soil Is by applying barnyard manure
to his land While the farmer may
buy plant food in the form Of com
mercial fertilizers 1t will not have
such d beneficial effect on crops Us
an equal amount contained In barn
yard manure. 1t does not add
vegetable matter, does not promote
bacterial activity and does not cor
rect mechanical defects Of the soil,
A ton of well-preserVed manure
from d well fed horse contains about
0S pounds Of nitrogen, 81 pounds
of phosphoric acid and 08 pounds
of potash, Assuming a value OF 20
cents a pound for nitrogen and 0
cents a pound each for phoSphori"
acid and potash lh.sp n loyd would
cost $2 10 If bought IN the form ol
commercial fertilizer Therefore 1t
Sharp County record., 1915-04-23

behooves the farmer to plow deeply
at the proper time and to carefully
save all his barnyard manure and
apply it directly to his land.
Most farmers think 1t is very ex-
pensive to build up their land so it
would produce large crops, but not
so. If we will turn our attention to
stock raising and observe the fore
going rules we will soon find our
selves on the road to success.
This is the year If ever for the
farmers to diversity crops and try
to raise more food for man and
beast, and If possible raise enough
to supply all home needs and some
to sell, for no doubt farm products
will be in great demand and bring
high price this fall.
President Wilson says: This
country is facing famine" suppose
he has been looking over the last
census report and has seen the
great increase in population, There
are 20,255,555 families in the United
States, and only 8,l23,820 are farm
ers or live on farms. So we can
see one farmer has to feed and
clothe a little over three families.
Foreigners are coming to this Coun-
try at the rate of about 100000 a
year. Last year l,2l8,480 foreigners
came to this country, and Of this
army Of people only l4442 were
farmers.
1t seems that when all the above
Is taken into account the farmer
would take courage and do his best,
for all these millions must be fed,
and how can farm products ever be
cheap AGAIN.
But first feed and clothe the little
ones at home, and the pretty girl
you wooed and won In your youth.

Home Is not merely four square

GREAT MINDS RUN

The esteemed Ocala Star lays the
fiattering JUNCTION to its soul that the
Metropolis cribbed an idea of its own,
and elaborated on it. It refers to the
Germans planting vegetables in the

Metropolis got its idea from news

hasn't seen any comment in the Star
at any time. The Metropolis doesn't
have to steal ideas or paragraphs

The Star has often complimented
the Metropolis on its originality and

that on Feb. 8 its editor wrote the fol-
lowing paragraph:

AGAIN TIED UP

Administration democrats yestef-
day received another setback in their
fight for the ship bill when they sud-
denly learned that the bill as it pass
ed the House will not command the
support of Senators Kenyon. Norris
and LaFollette, progressive republi-
cans, on whom they counted, nor the
support of any of the seven demo-
cratic insurgents.
The plan to move to concur with
the House amendments was wrecked
by the discovery that the leaders
could not muster enough votes. Ad-
ministration leaders made no attempt
to conceal their embarrassment and
planned to send the bill to conference
with the hope of putting on some
amendments that will command the
support necessary to its passage.
The boiling democrats were said t.
be favorable to an amendment Il
make the enterprise temporary one
to end with the European war.

the bill to a conference, motions t

in which the seven democratic insuI

PUTTING A SPRING TO GOOD USE

The section around Ocala abounds
in pretty little springs from which |
flow clear, pure water. Right here in
Ocala are a number of such springs, |
several of which are being used. Near |
the city, especially on the south, are
many springs, every hammock having
one or more of them. On the Camp
bell farm, south of town mile and
a half, where Mr. Folks has his
Campbell Farm Dairy, is one of the
springs, about half way between the
| farm residence and the S. A. L. track,
and a hundred yards or so from the
hard road. The spring has round
concrete curbing built around it,
about six feet in diameter and seven
or eight feet deep. This curbing ex-
tends three or four feet above the
ground, which at this place is rather
steep or sloping and the water in
consequence stands quite a distance
above the earth's surface. A drain
hole was provided near the top on the
lower side, so that the overflow could
run out. Mr.. Folks, who conducts his
dairy on the place and believes that
clear, wholesome water is necessary
. for his cows, has placed long pipe
: connecting with the spillway of the
9 spring, which carries the water t.
the pasture nearby, and empties int
two huge troughs, where water is al
A ways supplied to the cows in grea
! abundance, clear and sparkling. TIL
troughs are running over most of tn
time, and this keeps the water fresh
: just as it runs from the spring. In
a cidentally, an analysis Of the waite
made by a local chemist for Nj
10 Folks, showed it to be absolutely FIRE
from impurities. Live stock in Flol
ida, in many instances, is given lit
or no attention as far as the suppl
of drinking water is concerned, ar
. much of it is lucky if it can obta
access to a stagnant pond.
