PHOSPHATES

The fact that phosphates are high
er in price this year than usual will
not justify the farmer in not using
them on the soils OF the State, de-
ficient in PHOSPHORUS, which in
cludes practically all Of the State
outside Of the Blue Grass region and
the higher river bottom. There can
no longer be any doubt that the use
Of phosphates is profitable on such
soils. In many cases their use is
more essential TO the getting of a
stand and good growth Of clover
than is limestone. In some cases
clover will fail even with the use
of limestone, if phosphate in some
form is not used.
II was found out on the Berea
State Experiment Field that the use
OF phosphate produced the grass in
every case. II was also found out
that the use of ground limestne and
phosphate produced the best crops
of cow-peas, winter oats, soy beans,
corn and wheat. II is a settled fact
that our soils need more lime and
phosphates. The liberal application

disposal OF DEAD ANIMALS

Even when animals ole on INC
farm, no disposal is made OF their
carcasses other than TO drag them
into field or nearby woods where
thew are left on the surface to de-
compose or TO be eaten by buzzards,
crows. dogs and other scavengers.
This practice cannot be too Sc
verely condemned because 1t contri-
butes seriously TO the dissemination
Of disease germs and the perpetual
,;on Of infectious diseases. Dead ami
mails on the farm should be buried
deep enough TO prevent them from
being dug up again, or they SHOULD
be burned. To burn large carcasses
like those Of dead horses and cattle,
is difficult and requires a large
quantity Of fuel. All animals when
have died of infectious diseases ana
are buried, should be covered with
a heavy layer of lime before the
graves are closed. In the winter
when the ground is frozen. 1t Is
more difficult TO dig graves than at
the other seasons OF the year, but
il is Just at cold weather that dis
ease germs remain alive longest in
organic matter, and that scavengers
travel the longest distances, have
the best appetites and are the most
likely to carry the most disease
germs. but many kinds Of disease
germs are not killed at our low tenn
peratures.
Every farmer not only should at
tend TO the proper and safe disposal
of the bodies of their own animals,
which unfortunately died, but they
should insist upon the proper dis
posal of the bodies Of all animals
which die anywhere in the region
in which their farms are located.

TIMELY RECIPES


The season is upon us when the
vendors Of patent medicines are urg-
ing us 10 take stomach bitters, sar-
saparilla, tonics, etc, but IL will be
far better for us IL we will take the
tonics which nature provides, the
early spring salads, dandelion, dock,
mustard, turnips, spinach, chard, etc.
for these contain mineral salts which
will replace the deficiencies Of our
winter diet. These may be served
in various ways.
Very small, very tender dandelions
may be served raw with either a
boiled or oil salad dressing. People
who do not care for them served hot
may like them boiled, the juice care
fully pressed out nodded in regular
form and served with a salad dress
ing, garnished with hard boiled eggs.
One does not need any special mold
for this. Rinse in good shaped bowl
or vegetable dish in cold water and
press them in tightly.
Spinach which may be grown In
the fall. kept over winter by means
of n slight mulch OF straw or leaves
Is one Of the spring vegetables rich
est in these mineral salts. As these
dissolve out easily IL is best TO cook
il in its own juice without water
unless IL is very old and tough. Wash
il carefully and start il cooking in
the top part Of double boiler on the
back Of the stove where IL will not
be too hot.
Leaves Of the chard which is a
beet which grows mostly 20 foliage
may be cooked and served very much
like spinach. The chard may be
grown like beets. II grows very
rapidly and If one is careful in cut
ting the leaves not 10 cut the crown
Of the plant il will continue TO make
a great crop all summer. After the
family has so many other vegetables
that they do not care for IL. IL will
furnish a treat 10 those chickens
which must be shut up all this sum-
mer.

stable manure or green manure
crops is the best assurance OF q

addition will usually give a profita-
Bile increase, and is in many cases
necessary to good growth OF clover
The proper use Of phosphates Is
the most profitable investment q

crop yields, but the use OF phos-
