1000 Eggs
in Every Hen
New System of Poultry Keeping-Get
Dollar A Dozen Eggs-Famous
Poultryman
TELLS HOW

"The great trouble with the poultry
business has always been that the laying
lie of hen was too short" says Henry
Irdfford, International Poultry Expert
and Breeder, for nearly eighteen years
Editor of Poultry Success.
The average pullet lays $50 eggs. If
Kept the second year, she may lay 100
more. Then, she goes to market. Yet,
1t has been scientifically established that
every puliet is born or Matched with over
one thousand minute egg germs in her
system-and will lay them on a highly
profitable basis over a period of four to
six years time if given proper care.
How to work to get 1000 eggs from
every hen; how to get pullets laying
early; how to make the old hens lay like
pullets; how to keep up heavy egg pro-
duction all through cold winter months
when eggs are highest; triple egg pro-
duction; make Stacker hens hustle; $500
profit from every hen in six winter
months. These and many other money
making poultry secrets are contained in
Mr. Trafford's 1000 EGG HEN" system
of poultry raising, one copy of which will
be sent absolutely free to any reader of
this paper who keeps six hens or more.
Eggs should go to a dollar or more a
dozen this winter. This means big profit
to the poultry keeper who gets the eggs.
Mr. Trafford tells how, if you keep
chickens and want them to make money
for you, cut out this al and send it
with your name and address to Henry
Trafford, Suite 1893 Fl, Herald Bldg,
Binghamton N. Y, and a free copy Of
"THE 1OOO EGG HEN" will be sent by
return mail.

"GoOd! I'll telephone Mrs. Arnold

Oh Herbert, won't it be lovely?
"You bet 1t WILL" exuted Herbert,

At three o'clock Saturday afternoon

Amount Needed in Garden.

Market gardeners frequently use as
much as 1000 pounds of commercial
fertilizer on an acre of ground. This
would be at the rate Of about 4 or 5
pounds to "A plot of ground 10 feet In
each direction or 100 square feet. AS
Stunning that the average backyard
garden is about 80 by 60 feet in size.
80 to 20 pounds of standard highgrade
truckers fertilizer would be all that
would be safe to apply on garden Of
those dimensions. Under most con-
ditiOns 80 pounds will be the maximum
amount to use.
Commercial fertilizers are usually put
up in sacks containing 100, 167 or 200
pounds and a good plan would be for
two or more gardeners to join together
In buying fertilizer.

Does it cost that-all that? But then,
the car doesn't cost anything" she
added soothingly, after pause.
"Oh, no, the car doesn't cost any
thing-only eight or ten dollars to
bring it down by train, or else two
dollars an hour for a chauffeur to
run it down for us" retorted her hus-
band.
Eight or ten dollars Two dollars

"Thut's exactly it-what shall we
do?" snapped Herbert. This thing was
getting on his nerves.
But we must do" laughed Jessica
Historically. "The idea of giving UP

cause one owes a grocery bill and a

NATURALLY not! Who wants it top
Jessica's nerves, also, were feeling the
strain.

famed Jessica; and to hear her, one
would think the proposition was to
sell an old family heirloom, beloved
for years.

isn't there something somewhere
about selling the pot to get something

as he rose to lock up the house for
the night. 'Well, fancy that's what
We'll have to do-scll the automobile
to get money enough to move it,"
Two days later the automobile came.
Perhaps the grocer waited. Perhaps
the laundry bill went unpaid. Per-

require considerable thinning. The
young beets that are pulled out in
thinning may be used as greens during
the early spring, Where the beets are
to be given hand cultivation entirely,
the rows may be placed as closely as

soil, so that the small feeder roots of
plants will gradually reach it.
Elements in Fertilizers.

ElCIuCHlS III FcillllLcTSs
The three main elements of plant
food contained in commercial fertilizers
are phosphoric acid, nitrogen, and
potash. Nitrogen has the effect of
stimulating the leaf growth, and phos-
phOric acid and potash have a tendency
to increase root growth and to mature
the seeds of the plants. Root crops and
potatoes require reasonable amount
Of potash. Corn, beans, and others of
the garden crops, which are grown for
their pods or seeds, want a sufficient
supply of phosphoric acid, while let
tuce, celery, swiss chard, and others
Of the salad or leaf crops require
plenty of nitrogen. The safest plan,
however, is to apply an all-round or
complete fertilizer having approx
mately 8 per cent phosphoric acid, 4
or per cent nitrogen, and 2 or 8 per
cent potash on land that is to be de-
voted to general garden crops.

DRAINAGE is IMPORTANT

Garden land inclined to be wet
should be thoroughly drained be-
fore crops are planted upon it.
If tile drains or open bitches
cannot be provided, the next
best thing is to plant the crops
on slight ridges, 50 as to get
their roots above the water table
in the soil.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1922-03-30
Methods of Application.

There are two or three methods Of
applying commercial fertilizers. The
first and most common is by scattering
the fertilizer broadcast over the land
after it has been plowed and narrowed,
then giving the soil second and even
a third narrowing to mix the fertilizer
with it thoroughly. Another method
is to apply the fertilizer underneath the
rows, the plan being to open the fur
rows, scatter in the fertilizer then,
by means Of a single-shovel pillow or
wheel hoe, thoroughly mix the fertilizer
with the soil in the bottom of the fur
row. The surface soil is then re-
turned and no seeds are planted for a
few days until the fertilizer becomes
thoroughly Incorporated with the
soil
The third method of applying com
mercial fertilizers is to use them as
top or side dressing along the rows
Of plants during the p:TiOd Of growth.
Nitrate of soda and fertilizer mixtures
containing a considerable percentage
of nitrogen are generally used for this
purpose. When using fertilizer as a
side dressing care should be taken that
It is not applied too near the base Of
tie plants, but at little distance from
tie row, and then It should be cult
waited into the upper or 3 inches Of

RICH SOIL SURE
TO Get RESULTS
Danger in Use OF Too Much Com
merciaI Fertilizer; May In
jure the Plants.
rs TOP OR SIDE DRESSING
May Be Mixed With Soil Along Rows
During the Period of Growth
Mixtures Containing Much
Nitrogen Are Favored.

A limited quantity of high-grade com
merciHl fertilizer can be used to adj
vantage ON garden soils even where a
considerable supply of barnyard
manures have been applied. Com
merciaI fertilizers act quickly and can
he used to special advantage where it
is desired to mature crops in a short
period Of time.
The best results can be obtained by
the use of fertilizer on land that is
well filed with organic matter. How
ever, fair results may be obtained by
the use of fertilizer on land that has
not been manfred and which is de-
tiCient in organic matter, according to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
The great danger in the use of com
mercial fertilizers is that too large
quantities may be applied and cause
injury TO the plants. 1t must be borne
in mind that commercial fertilizers are
very concentrated form of plant food
and, therefore, should be used in
moderation.
