STATE MINING LABORATORY
TESTS $4,000 SAMPLES

The Nevada state mining labora-
tory was established by an act of
the legislature OF Nevada on March
16, 1895, to provide method where
by the citizens of the state of Ne
vada might have ores. minerals and
rocks taken from within the bound
aries of the state analysed free of
charge. From the date OF its estab-
lishment to the LIST of January, 1917,
the laboratory had performed $780,
determinations on 14,S25 samples
submitted by 1854 individuals.
During the first item years that the
laboratory was in existence 1t was
but little used, and II was not until
the years 19O1-19O2 that it's work be-
gan to be of importance. From that
time on the work Of the Nevada
state mining laboratory steadily in.
creased until during the past two
years, when the work increased
with greater rapidity than ever be-
fore. The figures of 1915 are % per
cent greater than those of 1914, while
the returns for 1916 are more than
so per cent above those of 1915. AT
the present time an average of seven
samples is received daily at the labor
atory and about five determinations
are made upon each sample.
Owing 10 the great increase in
the state laboratory work it was
found necessary to employ n special
chemist to perform most of the de-
| Examinations and last summer Mr..
V. NJ. Henderson was appointed assist
ant in the state mining laboratory. A
portion of the work is still performed
by Professors Palmer and Jones, and
! the laboratory is under the supervi-
sion of Director F. C. Lincoln of the
Mackay School of Mines.

TO BALANCE MANURE.

Phosphorus Added 70 5arnyard Product
Increases Crop Yields.
Since barnyard manure is lacking in
phosphorus, some carrier Of this ele-
ment must be added to make 1t bal
anced plant food. Crop yields are ma
terially increased by this combination.
Manure contains about ten pounds
each Of nitrogen and potassium and
only about two pounds Of phosphorus
per ton. The phosphorus content is low
because the element is used by animals
to make bone and milk. Commercial
fertilizers. on the other hand, generally
contain much more phosphorus than
either nitrogen or potassium. Crops, as
a rule. need phosphorus in largest
amount; hence some phosphate carrier
like acid phosphate or raw phosphate
rock is added to manure to give the
crops a balanced ration.
Wheat yields for eighteen years have
risen from pa bushels per acre from
manure alone to 26.S bushels from ma
nure and acid phosphate in a three
year rotation of corn, wheat and clover
at the Ohio agricultural experiment
station Eight tons Of manure is ap-
piled to corn preceding wheat. Acid
phosphate is used at the rate of forty
pounds to a ton of manure.
The 800 pounds Of acid phosphate
would now cost about $3.35, but it pro
duced 5.4 bushels of wheat worth $50
at $3.50 a bushel. The corn yield was
also raised o. bushels. now worth at
least $3.50. Glover was increased sS7
pounds, worth SAB. Six times the cost
Of the fertilizer has thus been returned
in increased crop yields at present mar
ket prices.

Plow Early For Wheat.

The earlier ground is plOwed for
wheat the better. The longer the plow-
ing is. delayed the smaller the yield.
says the Kansas Farmer. The loss is
about one bushel per acre Tor every
week the soil preparation is delayed
The average wheat yield at the Kansas
experiment station for the last six
years on ground prepared in the mid
die Of July is twenty-five and one-half
bushels per acre. while the average for
the land prepared in September is only
fifteen bushels. If the land cannot be
plowed the next best thing is to disk

FELTON,.

Tomatoes are selling for prices such
as the people have never dreamed OF
in this part of Delaware, and even
with this condition the farmers are dis
satisfied because of the scarcity of
tomatoes to sell. The season is near
ing its end, and it is possible that
prices may go even higher before the
close. From so cents to 81 per bas-
ket is the range for tomatoes at Fell
ton this week, and those who eat to-
matOes next winter will have to pay
heavy price for them in cans.
The corn fodder saving is about
ended in this part Of Kent County,
and the opinion is that the corn crop
on high land is far above the aver
age, while lands where water stood
in July, the crop is very ordinary.
Several from this town are regular
attendants at the Dover Fireman's
Carnival which is in progress this
week.

FEEDING BEEF CALVES.
Young Animals Should Not Be Allowed
to Lose Calf Fat.

young Animals SnouId NOT % AIoWeo
to Lose Calf Fat.
The outstanding principle and the
secret of success in the production of
cattle is to keep the young calves grow
ing and In a thrifty condition from
time of birth until they are ready for
market.
Cattle selected for the production Of
beef should not only be of the best
type and breeding. but they should
show easy feeding and fattening quail
tiles. or the tendency to make the best
of all they eat.
The Datural feed for the young calf
is, of course, milk, and the develop.
ment of its digestive tract is rather
slow. so that it is able to consume but
little rOughaA before it is six months
of age. However. he will eat cOnsid-
erable grain with advantage at a much
earlier age.
If you expect the calf to do best you
cannot afford to allow 1t to lose its
calf fat at weaving time. Most cat
tlemen will tell you that calves which
have been in good, thrifty condition
since birth are the best profit makers,
and the calf that has had a good dam
and has had the opportunity to nurse
until he is six months of age will have
an advantage. The calf will need to
have grain in order to keep it from los
ing its calf fat.-W. L. Blizzard, De-
partment of Animal Husbandry. Okla

POULTRY POINTERS.

Look out for the overcrowding of the
cOops. After raising many birds over the
summer one is apt to hang on to them
too long, causing a clogging of his quar-
ters and with the result that he will have
trouble. Weed out all of the undesirables
and convert them into money. You will
have use for it, but the room they take
up is even more valuable.
Don't carry any old hens over into the
winter. They are not profitable, although

The special $4,000 coupon vote
offer came to a close on Frilay,
March 9th, promptly as advertised,
and the regular schedule of votes
the contest started with are again in
force.
Each contestant took full advan-
tage of the coupon offer, however,
the race continues very close, in fact
it is unusual at this time in a contest
for all the contestants to be so close
in the race, and no doubt, from now
on the one who does the most work
will be, the winner of the Studebaker
on March 81.
1t is possible that some have the
idea that the contest will not close
as advertised, If you have this idea
in your head it will be well to get 1t
out, because this contest will close
without fail on Saturday, March 81.

offer proves to the manager that the
people viii take both the local pa
per and one of the Capper papers If
they are approached in the proper
manner and the contestant who ex-
plains the big reduction in the price
of the papers offered will get the
most of the club subscriptions.
AS a rule the candidate will go
along the line of least resistance ard
when offered a subscription for one
of the papers take it, and do not
tell about the other papers in the con-
test, then of course the subscriber
does not know that they can save
money by taking the two papers.

over the list of subscribers to the pa
