ORDER FERTILIZERS AT ONCE
Avoid Transportation Difficulties by
Acting ouickly-Phosptate
Increases Yield.

So valuable has acid phosphate been
found in growing wheat. the Ohio sta
tion calls sattention to the fact that
farmers will profit by ordering their
fall fertilizers at once. Transportation
difficulties may become more acute
during the summer and since the man
ufacture and transportation of acid
phosphate are of a seasonal nature the
orders should be placed early.
. 1t may be necessary to use consld-
prable fertilizer next fall to combat
lhe Hessian fly, which has been quite
destructive during this season. In
iome cases 1t is necessary to plant the
rheat late and fertilize heavily, de-
ending on the fertilizer to give the
!heat a start equal to that Of early
lowing. At the Ohio station and on
nany of the county experiment farms

ALGIERs RICH IN SUNDAYS
Holy Day Observed Three Times a
Week by Followers of Different
Religions.


Although no fewer than three Sun
days are observed each week In Al
giers, writes correspondent, only
one could in any sense be called a
'day of rest For while the prophet
enjoined his followers TO attend wor-
ship on Sunday, he warned them
against allowing II to become day
Of idleness. An Arab or Moor, there
fore. will frequently leave his wares
unattended in his shop while he goes
of to the mosque to pray, and he sell
dom has occasion to regret this course,
cases Of robbery being extremely rare.
The French Sunday is typically
French. The Jew alone makes his
Sunday day Of rest, his religion for
bidding anything save talking on that
day. A walk through the Jewish
quarter on the Sabbath will carry
ones thoughts back many years. The
picturesque groups at the street corn
ers. in their rich, flowing robes, win
recall many an Old Testament story
learned in childhood, for the Jew In
his oriental garb has very different
appearance from the Jew as we know
him in the West.

iALcULATE TONNAGE OF sILo
Weight Of sIlsge Varies at Different
Depths--Tabie Taken From Mis-

A large number of stockmen are

aloed corn. the problem of estimat-
ag the tonnage In a silo is usually
difficult one. The following table

sounds respectively.
To find the capacity of the silo:
Multiply one-half of the inside diam
eter by itself, then by 3.1416, and then
by the depth of the settled silage. This
gives the volume. Multiply this by the

PREPARING SILO
FOR FUTURE USE
Every Farmer Should See That
Structure Is in Proper Con-
ditlon for Corn Crop.
BEST COATING FOR INTERIOR
Go Over Huge Receptacle Carefully
and Seal Cracks With Tar and

Pockets by Packing.

Prepared by the United States DEPART
mont Of Agrieulture)
Concerning time--that period when
portion of the corn crop is prepared
and sealed In the slIo-will soon be
here. Every silo owner should see
that the structure is in best condition
to receive the succulent corn croR.
As the farmer gives the sllo the thor
ough "once over" he must look out,
first Of oil, for proper protection for
the interior. The annual application
Of mixture Of coal tar and creosote,
both inside and outside. adds greatly
to the life Of wood sllo, as 1t protects
the wood against decay. The coal-tar
ereosote solution is relatively mex
pensfve and the cost of treating the
silo with this material is so slight that
no silo owner should allow his silo
to stand without this protection. 1t
Is also essential that he tighten loose
hoops In order that no cracks or crew
Ices allow air seepage. If the hoops
have been kept tight, however. during
the period that the silo is empty, they
should be loosened just before filling
to prevent buckiIng or breaking of
hoops due to swelling when the dry
slaves absorb moisture from the green
silage.
Look for Cracks In Old silos.
In the case of wooden silos it may
be advisable to cement around the
bottom Of the silo where the founda-
ton Joins the superstructure. In the
case Of old siIos 1t will be profitable
for the farmer to go over them careful
" to look for cracks, and where he finds
them to seal with tar and oakum. wood
filler or other effective material. If
the bottom Of the silo has decayed
slightly, the owner may saw of what
ever amount is necessary, and then, by
the use of blocking, gradually lower
the silo to the foundation again, ce-
menting around the base as previously
described.
When the silo is alright and able
to stand the most rigid inspection,
the owner may consider the actual
work Of filling. A wise precaution Is
to place several feet of straw in the
bottom of the silo to act as protective
blanket between the bottom of the

FARMERS 60 WELL
Record Prices Paid Wheat Crow
ers Of Western Canada.
VIII Get Above 40 Cents Over tho
Fixed Scale set--Wsrid Looking
to the Dor,inlon for lts
Grain.

1t viii be Of Interest to many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
in Canada viii do 50 well out Of the
wheat they grew on, western Canada's
prairies last year.
There was fixed price Of S2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
son.
Not knowing the price at which 1t
would be possible to market the crop,
the Canadian grain board. which or
ganization handled the whole Of the
crop last summer, fixed $2.15 as q min
imum price for No. wheat, and ar
ranged that each farmer should be
given certificates for the quantity Of
wheat he delivered. The amount re
ceived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end of the season, and
the holders Of these certificates will.
therefore, participate in the extra
price received according to the guam
tity Of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
a bushel over the fixed rate Of S2.15
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about $40000,0OO will
be distributed among the farmers of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference In
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat In Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
at between 50 and SIS per bushel. was
made recently before a conference Of
western supporters Of the government
by DR.. Robert Magill. who was one Of
a deputatlon from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued in ia
vor Of open trading from the aspect
Of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
sia owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
export, while Australia's acreage
would fall from 100000 to 100000.
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough 10 feed
herself. and there would be absolute
ly no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argentine and North America.
Or. AiagiiI, according to formal an
nouncement, though 1t would be i'm

Poultry manure is the richest ma
pure made on the farm. but on the
ordinary farm not much attention Is
given it, simply because of the small
