POULTRY MANURE BIG ASSET
OF Considerable Value When Used for
Fertllizing Trees-Seems to En-
courage Weeds.

On poultry and fruit farms the poul-
try manure is valuable asset for fer
tilizing trees. The Massachusetts sta.
tion recommend the following mixture ::
Hen manure, 1900 pounds; high-grade
sulphate potash, ITO pounds, sixteen
per cent acid phosphate, $50 pounds
This makes total of 1000 pounds Of
fertilizer for orchard use. The approx
innate analysis is nitrogen IL per cent !;
phosphoric acid 3.3 per cent; potash
4.5 per cent.
Poultry manure spread On strawber-
ries seems to induce a rapid weed
and grass growth and is not conducive
to the production of large quantities
of fruit. The Massachusetts station
recommended the following mixture Of
poultry manure when it is used on
strawberry patches: Hen manure, 1000
pounds; nitrate of soda, 100 pounds; (;
grade sulphate potash, 200 pounds I;
acid phosphate, 600 pounds.

PROPAGATION OF DEWBERRIES
Roots Make Strongest Plants and Are
Generally Used by Nurserymen
for Reproduction.

Dewberries are very easily propa-
gated. They, like the blackberry, may
be propagated from suckers that are
likely to be rather numerous, or from
roots. The roots make the strongest
plants and nurserymen generally re-
produce the dewberry by roots.
The dewberry roots are cut into
small pieces, an inch or two long, and
the roots put in box of sand or soil.
They are sometimes put in beds till
the roots begin to sprout and start
shoots.
Those who have dewberry vines that
bear well and yield fine berries should
reproduce them as suggested. Often
wild plants are found worth reproduc-
ing. ="

PLAN FOR MOISTURE SUPPLY
Sufficient Amount Necessary to Get
Best Results. From High-Priced
Fertilizer.

No matter how serious the ferti-
lizer problem Of orchards should be
considered, 1t must be remembered
that moisture has great deal to
do with whether or not the trees can
utilize all of the fertilizer applied.
If sufficient moisture Is not present
and kept there by good soil mulch
and frequent tillage, then the best
results will not be secured from the
use of fertilizer.

NOT ALL AFRAID
AirpIane Has Odd Effect on
DenizenS of Jungle.
Many Animals Fled From Strangs
Sight but Others Showed Neither
Fear Nor Curiosity.

Jason Humphreys, the tweye-year-
old English boy who flew with his
father. the pilot, a camera man and
a scientist from Cairo to Cape Town,
enjoyed a more novel experience than
most boys of his age will ever know.
The sudden change from bush 10
civilization as represented by clear
ings for small villages and farms and
back again impressed young Hum
phreys very much. He was more I'm
terested. however. in the behavior OF
the wild beasts and birds over which
he was flying. These took the pass
ing Of the airplane variously. Birds
showed almost no curiosity except in
the remotest regions. They Just
flew along with us or left us" says
Jason. This, ii is said, is because
birds fly far, and during the years OF
the war, African birds undoubtedly
saw flying machines and became more
or less used 10 them.
Wild beasts showed individual tenn
peraments. Lions and leopards could
be seen stalking along, oblivious 10
the giant purring overhead. IL the ma
chine came 50 low that the noise 81
the engine could not help reaching
them, they sided under protecting
underbrush, but they never looked up.
The naturalist has offered no eXp!ana-
tion for this. II is Il new phenome-
non and must be studied.
Usually lions and leopards are in
terror of strange noises, and know
from infancy, by instinct. that gun
fire BODIES them no good During the
late war there was a general exodus
OF wild beasts from every quarter OF
Africa where any fighting wax going
on. They crashed through the jun
SeS for miles trying 20 get away from
the sound of the guns; they Travelled
far from their real homes, and natural
enemies travelled together in their
fright without molosting one another.
Since the close of the war buShmen and
hunters have found them all back
home again or travelling back. Their
indifference 10 the sounds of the air
plane. therefore. is surprising.
Apes and monkeys made wild efforts
To reach the topmost branches Of the
highest trees in order to get a better
view. and they could be sometimes
heard screaming to one another above
the noise OF the engine, more in eV-
element and curiosity, presumably,
than In fear.
Hippopotami were Indifferent, Meth
er Fastening their numbering steps nor
CHANGING up; they did not seek am
bush. as did the cats. But rhinoceri
were panic-stricken. They rushed of
headlOng to cover. Crocodiles sprang
from the banks Of streams and hid
beneath the surface Of the water un-
til the flying machine had passed.
