GOOD FERTILIZERS
FOR STRAWBERRIES
Tankage, Peruvian Guano, Fine
Ground Bone and Sulphate
of Potash Are Favored.

The following are recommended in
the culture OF this fruit.
Tankage or Peruvian guano. 900
pounds per acre; fine-ground bone
1000 pounds low-grade sulphate of
potash, 600 pounds; nitrate of soda,
100 pounds.
All these may be mixed, applied
after plowing and before setting
plants and thoroughly Incorporated
in the soil by narrowing.
Dried blood. 200 pounds per acre;
low-grade sulphate of potash. 600
pounds; tankage or Peruvian guano.
900 pounds; basic-slag meal, 1000
pounds; nitrate of soda. 100 pounds.
The Stag is not mixed with the
blood, tankage or guano. as 1t causes
loss of ammonia. II is better to
apply the Stag by itself but all the
other materials may be mixed be-
fore application.

gin early. The young animal should
be accustomed to the halter and taught
to lead before being weaned, and
thereafter 1t should be handled regu.
larly until time to break 1t to harness.
Gentle methods are desirable in the
latter operation. If the young animal
develops normally, 1t is capable at two
years of age of doing considerable
farm work, and in any case it is ad-
visable to give some light work. 1t is
not well, however, to put mules at
hard work much before four years of
age. The mules keep Is reckoned at
a third less than that of a horse.
For the indications of disposition Of
old mules look at the head and eyes,
say those who have handled these ami
mails for many years. Avoid mules
with abnormally long heads, as well az
those with hollow faces. The eyes Of
the gentle mule are soft and mild and
set well apart. A sign of docility in a
young mule Is indicated by constant
motion of the ears; one ear pointing
forward, the other backward is also
regarded favorably. But beware of the
mule that habitually lays the ears
back upon the neck, say the authori-
ties. 1t is claimed by some that the
little mule is more apt to be ill-tem-
pered and vicious, and that the larger
the animal the better the disposition.

PROVIDE SUPPLY OF
CHARCOAL FOR HOGS
Corncobs Burned in a Pit Three
Feet Deep Will Furnish All
That Is Needed.
lBY j. NJ. KELLYN

For the last 80 years, to the writer's
positive knowledge, farm writers have
been telling their readers to feed the
hog plenty of charcoal. Even If the
advice is old 1t is good. There should
be charcoal before the hogs all the
time. The supply may be made from
corncobs. These must be burned in
pit. which should be three or four
feet wide, three feet deep and eight
or ten feet long.
A load of cobs should be put in
the pit and set afire. As soon as they
are well ablaze the pit should be GOV.
cred with strips of sheet iron and the
cracks with earth SO ag to exclude
air. In a day or two the pit mhy be
uncovered and supply of charcoal
will be ready for use.

PUSH THE PIGS TO
MAKE BEST RETURNS
Corn, Alfalfa and Clover Pasture
viii Lay on Fat-Proyide
Suitable Shade.

After the pigs come feed the SOW
all she can eat OF nutritious rations.
A fair amount of corn will not hurt
her then.
To keep the youngsters free from
lice, dip them Just before they are
weaned. Then dip them again late
In the fall.
Corn, alfalfa and clover pasture
will lay fat on pigs about as fast as
anything else that grows.
The hot sun will, drive the fat out
Of a pig about as fast as you can lay
It on. Il pays to provide plenty of
shade.
The best shade is shed on an ele.
vation over which the wind can sweep
without obstruction. Dusty holes in
fence corners or in sitting under.
brush are not desirable.
If your pigs are running on clover
pasture and you are feeding grain
give 1t to them at night.
A light feed of grain may be given
pigs three times a day, but twice is
better. provided they have plenty OF
good pasture.
Plenty OF clean water nhould be
provided every day at noon time and
again in the evening for the hogs.
Only the best bred pigs which arc
pushed from the start to the finish
make the most money.
Don't forget that pigs never sweat
and therefore they must be supplied
with plenty of water in which they
can cool themselves during the warm
summer months.

1t is common error that all mules
are vicious. To kick like mule" is a
proverbial and misleading saying.
Mules are not worse than horses in
this respect. While 1t should be de-
MED that mules are naturally vicious,
it is undoubtedly true that some are
made so by ill-treatment and abuse.
The same is true of horses. In gen.
eral, the mule is quiet and patient in
Temperament. and. when properly in

much easier to take mule colt In

that has been misused and overcome
any habits or tricks arising from
years Of poor management. Kindness
is the best policy in dealing with
animals. Mules that are accorded de-
cent, humane treatment when young
nearly always make docile and tract
able work animals. and are always
ready to respond to good, common
sense treatment. The mule that is
roundly abused becomes ugly in the
same way as the horse develops
viciousness when he Is continually
mistreated.
