Rich Land Pays.

Not enough attention is paid to keep.
ing the land In the highest state of fer.
tility. 1t is important that the different
types of soils should be provided with
fertilizers in which they may be de-
ficient. A farmer who applies fertilizer
indiscreetly or without knowledge OF
what elements of plant food are required
in the soil is not proceeding In the right
way. 1t has been common to apply what
are commonly called "balanced fertil'
izers," but In reality there is no such
thing. If the land needs only phosphate
it is wasteful to apply nitrogen and pot
ash. The element or elements which
the soil needs should be applied and In
the proper proportion and in the right
amount. Right use of fertilizers ia
profitable and the improper use un'
profitable.
Mr.. Alva Agge in National Stockman
and Farmer says: II am convinced that
the average individual loses his chance
for the largest net income from land by
failure to fertilize literally. When one
lacks capital it is perhaps serious mat
ter to run up q big bill for fertilizers,
but when labor and seeds are to be
risked it is poor business not to have
enough plant food to make a good crop
Poor land does not get one anywhere
at least in the direction he wants to
travel" -.
In a close study of the soil 1t will be
found that some will require potash, o.
pecially the low lands. The up-lands
which have been farmed for years are
liable to lack more in phosphate thar
sny other element of plant food. Then
there are some that will want little
nitrogen to stimulate early growth oi
the seeds. The wise farmer will test
his several elements OF fertility common
" used in fertilizing land and determine
which one should be used to make biz
land produce the largest returns.

the road. With proper drainage almost
any road will be good one; without 1t,

remain a good road very long. Properly
constructed side bitches are necessary

bitches be deep, but rather that they

to saturate the base of the road to

Poultry and Plenty of Water.

Growing birds cannot thrive without
plenty of fresh water. A large percent.
age of the birds body Is composed OF
water, and 1t should be kept before the
stock at all times, especially during the
hot summer months. The best method
of supplying water to the birds on the
range, as recommended by the New Jer,
sew station is by having the water piped
TO different parts of the range, and q
short trough under each faucet. While
somewhat expensive to install, this is
really the cheapest method in the enc,

Uses Of the Sllo.

The first and most important use oi
the silo 10 to store succulent forage fol
winter and summer use. Some farmers
get large service from their silos BY
keeping them employed - storage fol-
fodder. know Of cases where the silc
has been filed In the fall with corn, fed
out during the late fall and early winter
months. and filled In January with
shocked corn with water added. This,
II properly made from good fodder, pro-
duces an excellent silage and very much
better results can be obtained than feed.
ing the fodder dry. An early planting
of oats and peas In March or early April
will mature good crop In June, which
can again be put In the silo and fed out
during July and August when pastures
are poor and feed scarce. In this way 1t
is possible to use, in practical and
economic way, the silo three times q
year. Few farmers or stock keepers aim
to put all their corn in the silo. This
means that large amount OF corustalks
must either be left In the field as stalks
or cut and put In shocks as fodder.
The prevailing high prices for hay de-
mand that fodder should be carefully
saved, and it is very practical and wise
policy to cut up the corn In the fall be-
fore It becomes dry or frosted and put In
large, we'll built shocks. 1t can then be
fed as fodder, shredded, cut up, or put
In the silo.
1t sometimes happens that silo will
not be used for fodder where herds are
sold or stock disposed Of. The silo in
this case can be turned to excellent use
as storage for grain. 1t is the best
kind of granary and many OF them are
being used for this purpose, / have q
friend who makes it point to put up ice
in his large silo each spring. he has
two winter silos, feeds out the larger one
first and the smaller diameter later, then
fills his large silo with ice, which sup
plies him during the summer months.
By using sawdust around the edge, the
silo will prove an excellent ice house.
There are many farmers who feed cat
tie only when conditions are favorable.
The market may favor their decision In
this venture, or it may be they will have
a surplus of fodder or feed which they
consider can best be marketed through
cattle. These men certainly need silo
or two even though they use them only
once in three years. 1t will give them
an opportunity to save forage crops
which otherwise might be wasted, and
the silo in this case serves as a forage In
sursnce and stands ready to make feed.
ing operation profitable.
With these many uses, the silo should
be considered as one Of the most impor-
tant equipments on the farm and for the
stock farmer; he should build 1t as be
builds his barn. Several years ago the
statement was made that silo was
needed wherever corn crib was found,
but present day experience has proven
that silo is often needed where q corn
crib is not. There are large sections In
the rorthern states where corn seldom
natures but the silo Is depended upon
to harvest the crop. There are also cases
where the bulk of the corn raised In a
community goes into the silo. We now
say q silo for every barn.-A. L.
