FERTlLIzERs FOR pAsruREs

A great many farmers have not be- l1eved the application 10 pastures of chemicals to be economical. The price of grain and of milk has placed q new light on the economic phase of fertili- zation of pastures. Hence it is of in terest to know what the effect of chemicals has been in a few of the recorded trials, says Henry l.. Dorsav Of the agronony department at Con- nectcut Agricultural college, Storrs.
 In 1909 Massachusetts treated two plots at the rate of 800 pounds ba sic slag and 300 eunds of low grade sui- phate of potash. The treatment was repeated the following year. Two plots were left untreated for obserya- ton.
 Before the end of the first season the treated plots were sreener and the cattle grazed more upon the treated than on the untreated plots. White ! clover was already appearing. The differences were more marked the sec ond year The third year this moss infected field had become a beautiful rich green turf of white clover, aI- though no seed had been sown. It is Believed the application of fertilizer returned good profit. However, the belief rests wholly on observation. Several careful fertilizer treatments VI PS@Stdi nave DSon I1ldOes III Eng land. In Northumberland county an experiment was carried through nine 1 years. The plots contained three | acres. The gains were measured by | the gains in sheep grazed as compared
 with gains on an equal sized plot but untreated
 On one plot 1000 pounds of basic
 slas was applied the first year. This 1 plot made an annual gain of 79 s-s l pounds of sheep over the check plot
 or total gain per acre fo IF pounds l On another plot TOO pounds of super l phosphate was applied the first and 1 fourth years, and 1000 pounds of l ground lime the first, fourth and sixth | years. This treatment gave the same
 amount of phcsphoric acid as the pre- l vious plot with 11-2, tons of lime. The
 gain per acre was 7s 2-s pounds owe, the untrested plot, or a total gain o1 11e 7-s pounds of sheep per acre. Il A plot lined at the rate of four tons

DAIRY COMPETITION.

Some of the sources of foreign com petition which American, especially New England, daifymen. must face, are outlined in the following para graphs taken from information sent out by the United States department Jf agriculture:
 Arrivals of shipments of Danish butter are already affecting prices on the New York city market. Argen- tina is producing nearly three times the amount of butter and cheese con- stunned, and some of the surplus may be expected to come to this country or compete with cur products in for eign countries Before the war. Si- heria was rapidly extending it's dairy industry and when conditions become settled in that country it may be ex- pected to come back as factor in the worlds market. Recently there have

 Residents Of the village are once more able to get to Norwich by troll ley after being isolated for the past SIX weeks On Monday the line was opened as far as Third avenue in the village, d distance Of about a quarter of a mile from the business center. A large number of local people who are employed in Norwich and who are boarding in that place will now be able 10 go back and forth from their work. The trolleys have been greatly missed during thei. absence and the jitney serV.ce has been very unsatisfactory. The prices charged by iitney drivers range anywhere from five to ten dollars a trip and are considered eXorbitant as twenty five cents was the most charged when the troleys were running. Local people feel that the automobile drivers have taken very unfair advantage oi them during the past few weeks.

NEED OF GLOVER ON
 ALI OUR FARMS

The Indiana experiment station found that clover in the corn wheat clover rotation increased the total value of the products over that pro duced when timothy took the place of clover by sS.07 in one case and S7.SG in another. The Illinois station, as re- suit of a long series of trials, found that corn after clover yielded twice what corn after corn yielded and also more than corn in the corn oats rota- ton. The Missouri station found that a six year rotation with clover and timothy the last three years was financially profitable and maintained the productivity of the soil.
 Some rotation should be used, and clover should be an important ele- ment in the rotation. but the partfcu- lar rotation selected must depend on local and economic conditions. The organic matter in the soil is used up most rapidly when the land is in corn or wheat. It can be replaced by turn ing under crop residues, but legumes alone can add nitrogen as well as or ganic matter to the soil.
 The Pennsylvania station found that of soils under varying crops the soil under mature clover was the richest in organic matter and in nitrogen. followed by the soil containing clover residue or under young clover c. c. Williams of the Ohio station said in the Ohio Farmer:
 Inability to dress cultivated land once in three to five years with culti- vated manure. or failure to blow ur- der full crop of clover or it's eotiiv- alent as freuuently, may be expected sooner or later, to bring about con dition's in which commercial nitro- | gen can he used with nr0ft"
 But can the general farmer afford to buy commercial nitrogen when he can get the nitrogen through the clover crop? This is the question farmers must consider now Tn spite of the high cost of seed farmers will be well 1 advised if they do not neglect the clover crop.

RAISING SHEEP,

large crop of lambs is the basis of good financial returns. while a small crop of lambs means less profit. It is very necessary that ewes and lambs be given extra attention in order to insure the largest profits.
 The lamb that is born strong and vigorous, with good dam, will need very little care after the first day or two. It is important to see that the lamb gets it's first feed promptly. When lambing pens are used the shep herd is able to give the individuals S more careful attention and thus get them on the way more rapidly.
 The shepherd should watch the ewes carefully to see that their udders are in good condition. This is of speci !. importance during the first week with ewes which are heavy mixers. After lamhing, the ewes should be fed light ly at first, being put on full feed about the third or fourth day. At this time it is economical t0 feed heavily enough to produce a large flow of milk for the lambs. Elves which are good mixers will nse to advantage one to two pounds of grain per head daily. A good grain mixture consists of four parts of corn, four parts of oats. two parts of bran and one part of oil meal by weight
 When the lambs are two weeks old they should he provided with 9 grain feed in lamb creep. which can he constructed so that only the lambs have access to the grain. Any con venient arrangement to meet the needs of the individual farm will bt found satisfactory.

 The dairy industry in Argentina has grown rapidly since the beginning Of the war. Before the war butter exports from that country totaled B. 2S2 tons a year; in 1918 they were five times that. Today most of these ex- ports are going to European markets, but should conditions become favor able it may be expected that some of them will come to this country.

RESULTS IN STEER FEEDING.


 In a steer feeding experiment con ducted last year on. the government farm at geltsyille. Md. four lots of two year old steers were fed. The purpose was to compare cottonseed meal and soaked velvet beans when used with and without the addition of sheled corn.
 The addition of corn to a ration composed of corn silage. cottonseed meal and wheat straw did not pay. The addition of corn to the ration of velvet beans and corn silage was profitable.
 The lot receiving corn silage and soaked velvet beans with a small quantity of cottonseed meal as an ap- petizer produced the most economical gains and showed the greatest profit, even though the daily gains and the selling price of the cattle were lower than those of any of the other lots.

HOGS AND THE HOME TAeIE

Nearly two thirds of the meat eaten on the farm is pork. the average farm consumption of pork being over 800 ounds per family. The greater portion CT the pork products used by farmers are produced on the home farm. Swine
 specialists of the. United States de- partment of agriculture call attention
 to the fact that a small number of
 pigs can be raised cheaply. Kitchen
 and garden wastes. and sometimes dairy by-Droducts, are available for feed. The farmer usually kills the hogs and dresses them on his own place. The hogs furnish g good va 1 riety of meat and also lard. The smoke | house, a common improvement on the l farm, provides a convenient way fol 1 curing pork.
