should be continued until the material
is fine and uniform, and then 1t may
be bagged and stored in a dry place
until used. y
To avoid caking and losses, certain
ingredients should not be used to-,
gether In the same mixture.
Start Home Mixing.
One of the easiest ways to start
home mixing Is to duplicate a formula
already In use. A beginner should
take a mixture which has been sue,
cessfully used on the crop he Is rais-
ing on similar soil. get price on the
mixed goods, and then see what q
home mixture of similar composition
will cost.
A general rule to use in making up
formulas is first to decide what per-
centages are required. and then what
materials shall be used. Start with
the phosphoric acid (PaO0. Acid phos'
phate Is almost universally used for
this. With IL per cent goods and 8
per cent of phosphoric acid desired In
the mixture, the reasoning would be as
follows: IL the whole mixture were
acid phosphate, 1t would contain II
per cent as per cent Is desired, take
eight-twelfths or two-thirds Of the mix.
ture Of acid phosphate or 1.222 pounds;
If per cent is wanted, take six.
twelfths or one-half or 1000 pounds
in ton. Similarly with nitrogen. II
nitrate Of soda contains 1885 per cent
of nitrogen, and 2 per cent Of nitrogen
is wanted, 2/15.65 or approximately
one-eighth of the mixture or 25O
pounds In ton will be the amount.
Similarly with potash. If the farmer
has Nebraska potash salts carrying %
per cent of potash, and desires per
cent in the mixture, he puts In two
twenty-seconds or one-eleventh Of .his
material, giving approximately lS2
pounds, In 1 ton.
Any other material may be used In
a similar manner. 1t Is not necessary
to be exact down to the fraction Of a
percent, as fertilizer application is not
an exact science. and slight mistake
I'm the calculation usually will not
cause loss in the agricultural value
of the mixture.

! BOY
SCOUTS
&& &t&
SCHOOLS AS SCOUT QUARTERS

In connection with the movement to
make the school building the commu-
nifty center with a wide variety of
public-welfare activities, Dudley Grant
, Hays, director of community centers
In the public schools Of Chicago, de-
clares that "the boy scouts and camp
fire girls should have their places for
meeting at the schools"
This is a direct point Of contact
with boys that the school authorities
should not overlook. More concrete
evidence Is coming TO the boy that II
the superintendent or the principal or
his teachers have real interest In
his welfare outside of school hours,
1t would not fail to be reflected in bet
ter school work.
1t Is fairly certain from experience
with boy scouts who have been al
lowed the use of public halls and
church rooms and similar places for
their meeting rooms and in which to
conduct their scout tests and go
through the various features of their
program as far as 1t is possible in
doors that school buildings will not
suffer by such use. On the contrary
scouts will be found valuable aids In
keeping the premises In good order
and in good repair as result of their
partial occupancy.

Moving a Field Of Heavy Mixed Hay.

without trouble. One large hay grow
eral quart bottles in the field that is
being moved. When the mud begins
to dry and clog the knife, the mower
Is taken to the water barrel and driv-
en- In a circle, while in gear. and water
is poured from the bottle onto the
knife and the mud is soon all washed
out. This practice allows a full days
moving.
Keep the Barn Crew Busy.-When a
crew Is kept at the barn to unload and
store away the hay it should be kept
busy all of the time. If the hay does
not come in fast enough to do this, 1t
is often good practice to put the barn
crew to loading and hauling and have
enough men. usually three, come In
with each load and put 1t into the barn.
Gasoline Operated Press Requires
Lean Men Than Steam Press.-The
steam press requires more men to OPP
crate 1t than press driven by gaso-
line engine. The steam press uses at
least two more men, an engineer and
water boy. Those who are intending
to purchase power press should keep
this fact In mind.
More Hay Should Be BaIed in the
FieId.-Baling from the windrOw or
cock is the cheapest method of making
hay that Is to be baled. 1t saves,
great deal of time, and requires con-
siderably less. labor than when hay is
stacked or put into the barn and af-
terward baled. Those growing hay
for the market should investigate this
method Of making hay. since 1t has
been tried in many parts of the United
States and found to be practical IL
done right.

All Equipment Necessary Mixing Fertilizers

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Home mixing of fertilizer materials
Is cheaper than buying ready-mixed
fertilizers. The saving varies from
time to time. according to fertilizer
experts of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, but the balance
is always on the side of home mixing
and is usually substantial. Also, the
home-mixed fertilizer is frequently
better than the ready-mixed ones. A
retail price, for example, of 2-S-2
mixture quoted farmers in January,
1912 at Washington. ID. c., was $52
ton. Acid phosphate can be pur-
chased in the same locality for so
ton, government nitrate of soda for
SS1 ton, plus freight, and potash
for $4.25 unit in large lots. At
these figures the phosphoric acid In
n ton OF hpme-miXed fertilizer would
cost less than SIS, the nitrogen S10.25,
and the potash $3.50, total of S33.75,
Il difference In favor of home mixing.
IL $3.25 ton Is allowed for mixing
and other charges, the saving is $40
u ton. Each extra unit of potash will
cost only $4.25, as against SO charged
the farmer by the dealer. the nitro
gen also being obtained for less than
the dealer charges. An extra 3 per
cent of potash, bringing the formula
up to per cent, will increase the
profit ton for home mixing $5.25.
Mixing Is Simple.
The mixing of materials Is compara-
lively simple. Any tight floor or n
wagon box may be used and tools at
hand may be employed. The materials
are spread in layers, usually the most
bulky first, and thoroughly shoveled
together. The mixture Is passed
through screen, and Jumps are
broken up with tamper or the back
of shovel.
A department specialist uses n large
long-handled mortar hoe for mixing.
and some will find this convenient
tool, but its purchase especially for
this purpose is not necessary. Where
large amounts are to be mixed II
would probably pay to buy small
rotary mixer, such as Is sold for con-
crete mixing on the farm. The mixing

Importance in Effect on Quality
of Flour Is Recognized.
Various Methods of Tempering to Give

prepared by the United States Depart

The Importance of the moisture con-
tent Of wheat in its effect on yields and
quality of flour Is recognized by mil
lers, sand has led to their cooperation
with department Of agriculture inves-
tigators in making tests of moisture
content of wheat and mill products at
q number of flour mills.
Wheat when received at the mill Is
seldom, If ever, in the best condition
for milling, Its moisture content being
too high or too low or not properly
distributed through the kernel. Vari-
Gus methods of tempering wheat to
give 1t the right moisture content for
the outer and inner parts of the kernel
are In use ut mills.
The results Of Investigations of mois-
ture content made at Kansas City on
wheat before and after Its preparation
for milling, on tempered wheat, and on
different mill products during the
course of their manufacture are con-
tanned In Department Of Agriculture
Bulletin 78S just issued. This publica-
.tion contains tables showing moisture
content Of hard red winter wheat be-
fore and after cleaning and tempering.
and also tables Of moisture content Of
the various mill streams Of mill stock.
In general the moisture content Of the
flour streams Is reduced as milling pro-
ceeds from the first break to the end
Of the process.
One Of the conclusions Of the inves-
tigators Is that very little Of the water
added to the wheat during tempering
penetrated deeper than the pericarp.
The moisture content Of the better
grades of -four milled, irrespective Of
the amount Of water added during tenn
pering, closely corresponded to the
percentage of moisture contained in
the untempered wheat.

Better working methods that will
mean more work accomplished by the
same force of workers In harvesting
hay will help the hay grower In solving
the farm labor problem during busy
season. Following are few labor
saving practices in haymaking that
maybe found useful:
Keep Mowers in Repair.-Mowers
should be kept In good repair, especial
ly IL operated by labOrers or others
who know very little about machinery.
The most important thing is to see that
the cutter bar is lined up properly In
order to prevent breaking knife bars.
1t is good practice to start moving
in the morning with two sharp knives,
the extra one to be used In the after
noon or to replace broken knife.
Mowers should be oiled often. as oil
makes the machine run easier and
last longer
Use Water Bottle to Clean Cutter
Bar.-In some parts Of the South the
mower Is not started until after the
dew is off on account of trouble caused
by mud clogging the knife. This mud
is caused by the dirt from crawfish
chimneys mixing with the dew from
the hay. After the dew is off the dry
dirt does not do much damage. While
the dew is on. mower can be run
