SOIL PLANT FOODS REMOVED
Experiments Add Valuable Information
for Farmer in Use of Commercial
Fertilizer.

A great many experiments, care
fully controlled, have been made to
determine the amount of soil plant
food removed by crops, and while
In general way they are more in
teresting than practically instructing
for the average farmer, yet they add
valuable information along the line
Of the use of commercial fertilizers.
The results obtained from the corn
experiments show an average use by
full crops Of 80 pounds of nitrogen. 50
pounds of phosphoric acid. and rs 40
pounds of potash. The hus,.ing corn
uses more nitrogen in proportion than
the ensilage corn. but this is 10 doubt
due to the prolonged feeding season,
developing and ripening the ears. the
ensilage being cut in green stage.
There Is, however, quite Il wide range
shown in some of the tests. which is
apparently due TO the greater avail
ability of the soil ingredients. For
instance, i'm full crops of both en-
silage and husking corn its potash
has been shown varying from 60 to
100 pounds to the acre of crops, while
the nitrogen and phosphoric acid main
tain their level average.

STRAW is WASTED ON FARMS
One Of Feeds Ordinarily Thrown Away
or Permitted to Rot In Pile
Where Threshed.

One of the feeds ordinarily thrown
away is straw, which is wasted or per-
United to rot in the straw pile where
threshed. The average straw crop
from the small grain harvest. when
properly taken care Of. stacked and
protected until fed out, will help won
derfully in the wintering Of horses, cat
tie and sheep. Straw should be fed in
racks arranged SO 1t can be forked
down to the stock fresh every day, and
the leftover and refused stuff thrown
out for bedding. Feed sparingly each
day, and what salt Is given may be put
on the straw as light brine, just enough
to carry a slight salty taste; this will
add to the palatable quality Of the feed
and induce it to be freely taken up BY
all fOdder-eating animals.

RUNNING SWINE IN ORCHARD
Practice Has Advantage of Keeping

1t is customary in many sections to

tice has the advantage of keeping
them in the opea and giving them eX-

SUCCESS WITH THE
BACK YARD GARDEN

Many back yard gardens failed
last spring and summer because they
were planted under conditions that
made success impossible. even with
the best cultural methods. 1t is
waste Of time and energy, which
might well be spent in some more
fruitful endeavor. to try to grow gar
den plants unless there is a fair
chance to succeed. The following
suggestions for gardening by Geo. L.
Tiebout, holticulturist, Extension Di-
vision, u. s. u. are timely:
1. The soil in the back yard should
be workable. One filled with cinders.
coal ashes, brick bats, etc, should
not be planted.
2. The drainage must be good. II
water does not run off the yard read
fly during a heavy rain, or standing
water can not be removed from il
easily through surface drainage, it is
not suitable for a garden.
8. When the spot for the proposed
garden does not receive sunlight fer
Q fair portion Of the day. it is use.
less to attempt to grow vegetables.
1. Where chickens, ducks, or other
fowls are kept in no place for a gar
den unless one or the other is we'll
fenced.
When the gardens can be worked
BY members of the household during
their recreation period or with a lit
tie extra effort above their normal &C.
equations, no better outlet for patriot
ic and economic service for every
member of the family can be found.
Children will take a great deal of in
terest II a portion of the garden is
allotted to them and each one is given
his or her own lot to work. Their
products may be purchased by the
parents and the proceeds used by
the children to purchase Thrift

Speed Up.

You never can tell the limit Of your
capacity until you have been compelled
to speed up. Many a fellow goes
through life with average rating who
has in him the fitness of the topnOtch-

brought to his limit. His daily tasks
nave made no great demands on him
and he has learned to take life easy.

Overwhelming coffee. tea, and

Thousands of people waste sugar In
