MAINTAIN FERTILITY OF SOIL
Farming Will Not Last When Every.

The only economical way to produce
permanent agriculture is to raise ami
mails, feed them on the farm and re-
turn most of the fertility contained in
the feed to the land in barnyard ma
aure. Even then it will be necessary
in time to use acid phosphate and NOT
ash to replace the potassium and
phosphate, as barnyard manure does
not contain enough of these compounds
TO keep up the soil indefinitely. Farm.

TIME TO MARKET DUCKLENGS
Success Achieved by Feeding Fowls
All They Can Eat Until Fowls
Are Ten Weeks Old.

Too many small duck growers make
little or no profit from their years la
Dor. simply because they are ignorant
IF the proper time to market their
ducklings. Success comes only by
feeding the ducks all they can eat
from the time they are hatched until
they are ten weeks old and then send
ING them right away to market.
If the ducklings are Matched early,
SO the top prices may be secured, they
ean be sold when nine weeks old. But
never keep dueklings that are to be
marketed longer than T. weeks, no
matter how backward they are. After
this period the ducklinss begin to grow
