PHOSPHATE ROCK is
USED AS Fertilizer
If Finely Ground and Well Distrib-
uted Gives Good Results.
This Source of Phosphorus Being
More Extensively Used Than For
merEy on Account of Shortage
of SuIphuric Acid.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Acid phosphate, which is used ex'
tensively as a commercial fertilizer
has doubled in price during the last
few years. Farmers Of this country
are now facing serious shortage OF
this material because the munitions in
dustry is consuming much sulphuric
acid which would ordinarily be used in
the manufacture of acid phosphate.
The situation has led users of fertil'
izers to give greater consideration to
the use of ground raw rock phosphate.
That this source of phosphorus is be-
ing used as fertilizer more extensively
is shown by the fact that during 1916
II at least six large companies entered
the raw ground phosphate business
and the annual consumption of this
material has increased during the last
decade to over $1,000 tons, involving
an expenditure to the farmer of at
least $4,000.
Ground raw rock phosphate is far
less soluble than acid phosphate. It's
effectiveness appears to be due largely
to it's thorough distribution in the soil.
This is brought about by liberal appli-
cations of very finely ground rock to-
gether with good tillage. When all
these conditions are not fulfilled, it
may take several years to obtain the

distribution giving the maximum eff
feet. The beneficial effects of COM
paratively heavy application of finely
ground rock phosphate extend over
several years, as a portion of the phos-
plate becomes soluble each year.
These increases in yields are greater,
as rule, in subsequent years.
To be most effective ground phos-
phate rock should be applied to soil
that is we'll supplied with organic mat
ter. Such soils are always richer in
carbonic acid than those Of low Or
ganic content, and this acid is impor-
tant in effecting. the solubility and
availability of the phosphate rock.
Bacterial activity, which is more no.
ticeable in soils high in organic mat
ter, is also valuable in aiding the solu-
bility Of rock phosphate.

CURES THE SICK

Here is the pathetic tale of a fish,
really a lot of fish. A man was ar
raigned for burglary. He had climbed
into studio and stole a painting of
a bowl of goldfish. He pleaded guilty
and received a suspended sentence.
Then he violated his parole and was
dragged into the police net again. His
friends begged clemency ON the
grounds that he drank like a fish and
went on whale Of a sOuse. Then the
sharks would get hold of him and make
a sucker of him. The police declared
that he was more like an eel when he
violated his parole. The judge, who
was something of a piscatorial expert
himself, took pity on the fisherman
who never got fish, but lectured him.
''BOb," said the judge, "you got to be
a good fish. Remember, I've got you
on a line and hook and can reel you
out Or haul you in. You get up on the
perch and be good fish. Meanwhile
the scales Of justice will remain sus-
pended."-NeW York Sun.

QUALITY BUTTER IS WINNER
Prosperous Creameries Make High

Meet Demand.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment CT Agriculture.)
Marked success of the creameries of
Wisconsin and ADMINISTRATIVE two
largest butter-prOducing states in the
Union-is due principally to the fact
that they produce butter of good quail
market demands.
Where it is possible creameries
should cooperate in producing a uni
form high grade Of butter and make
shipments to market in larger Quanti-
ties than is possible when they operate
separately.
Most of the creameries in Wisconsin
and Minnesota buy separated cream
rather than whole milk on a butterfat
basis. This plan reduces the cost Of
collecting and enables the dairyman to
keep the skim milk on his farm. Where
whole milk is sold to the creameries,
usually the skim milk is returned to
the patrons. Buttermilk also is sold
to patrons to be used as feed.
A number of creameries recognizing
the relation of poor cream to poor but
ter, which on the market sells at low
price. have sought to encourage more
frequent deliveries by establishing
grades of cream and by paying a pre-
MUM of from 2 to cents a pound of
butterfat for the better grades of
cream. This plan has met with the ap-
prevail of many dairymen, who now de-
liver their cream daily during the sum-
mer and every other day during the
winter. A number of creameries which
churn the first and second grade cream
separately, showed an average increase
in price Of $40 cents pound for the
butter churned from the first-grade
cream. Shipment of butter to market
usually was made in iced refrigerator
freight cars.

Farmers who own woodlands and
people in cities, towns, and villages
who can purchase wood from nearby
farms can help in the coming winter
as last Winter-to relieve the demand
for coal and the strain on railway ca
pacity by burning wood in place of
coal.
It is not expected substitution Of
wood for coal will be complete or uni
versal, as for many purposes coal is
much more convenient. But for heat
ing many kinds of buildings wood is
the more convenient and cheaper fuel.
This is particularly true in the case
of churches, halls, summer cottages,
and other buildings for which heat is
required only occasionally but then is
wanted in large volume at short no.
tice.
Methods Of Making CordWood.
The most common method of max
ing cordwood is to cut the trees into
4-foot lengths with the ak and split
the larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled in a standard cord, which is 8
feet long, 4 feet high, and feet wide.
The contents are 1928 cubic feet, of
which about 70 per cent is wood and
80 per cent air. Wood cut 4 feet
long can be sold to brickyards, lime
kilns, Woodworking plants, and other
industries, but is too large for house
hold use. This method is used chiefly
where the tree growth is comparative
1y small, as in second growth, because
such wood splits easily.
Another method, and one better
adapted for old-growth hardwoods,
which are difficult to split, is to saw
the tree into logs of convenient
lengths, say from 10 to Is feet. These
are "snaked" out to the edge of the
woodland and there sawed and split
into lengths proper for the stove or
furnace. The saving is usually done

or by electricity. The wood is piled
feet high and 8 feet long, such a
pile being called a "stove-wood" Or

wood is sawed into 16-inch lengths, as
is customary with stove material,
three runs are theoretically equivalent
to one cord. Actually they contain
somewhat more wood, since small
pieces can be packed more closely
than larger ones.
Wood Profitable Farm Crop.
Firewood is expected to bring a
better profit this year than ever be-
fore. 1t is much less perishable crop
than many which the farmer raises.
When properly piled, the better kinds
of wood will last from two to three
years, although wood steadily deterior-
ates after the first year.
To have the best heating value, as
