High Grade Fertilizers
Are Cheaper for Farmer

The high analysis fertilizers are
nearly always cheaper than the low
analysis goods, says e. L. Worthen
Of the state college Of agriculture Of
Ithaca. The new concentrated mix
lures. however. do not offer any saw
ings over those containing a total Of
Is to 20 per cent of plant food.
In mixing and marketing fertilizers
at the factory there are certain ex-
penses which depend on the volume
rather than on the concentration Of
the product. 1t costs as much to make
bags, print the guarantee on the bags,
mix, handle, analyZe, load, and ship
low grade fertilizer as it does high
grade product.
Freight costs just as much for 4-S-4
fertilizer as for 5-10-5. but 1t Is not
as much bother to the farmer to
handle. and 1t really is cheaper on an
actual cost basis.
The 5-10-5 costs $3.50 ton more
than the 4-S4. For this $3.50 one
gets in each ton Of 5-10-5 an additional
500 pounds equivalent to the 1874. In
other words. the extra plant food Sc
cured in the 5-10-5 costs at the rate
Of $4,000 ton for the 4-S-4 mixtures.
And the retail prices Of these two
grades this season are $4,000 and $42.-
30 respectively.

Whey Is Found Excellent
as Skim Milk Substitute

+ Dairy farmers who have a supply
of whey available will also be interest
ed in the tests at the Wisconsin sta
ton in which calves were fed whey as
substitute for skim milk. A grain
mixture of three parts ground corn.
three parts standard middlings and
four parts linseed meal was fed in ad-
dition and hay, salt and water were
provided as in the other lots. Calves
thus fed gained 1.49 pounds per head
daily as an average, or practically as
much as the calves fed ten pounds OF
skim milk daily. The average feed
cost to six months Of age was $21.5s
per calf. It was necessary to take a
little more care in changing over from
whole milk to whey than from whole
milk to skim milk. The whey was fed
in sanitary condition and was never
allowed to stand in filthy tank or
can. The results show that when a
little care is taken calves can be raised
satisfactorily on whey supplemented
with grain and hay.

Buttermilk in Silo to
Start the Fermentation

New use for buttermilk Is suggest
ed by Prof. o. Err of the Ohio State
university. who has used this by-prod-
net of the creamery to start the right
kind Of fermentation in silos. About
three gallons of buttermilk is used to
ton of silage.
There are two kinds of acids formed
In silage, he points out, namely, acetic
(which is found in vinegar) and lac
tic acid (Which causes the souring Of
milky. The purpose Of the butter
milk is to act as starter" the same
as in churning, so that Tactic acid will
be developed in the silage instead Of
acetic.
Experiments carried on at the Ohio
experiment station showed increased
milk production and improved physi-
cal condition Of the cows fed lime on
top of the silage, from one to two
ounces per COW daily. Calcium lac
tate, formed chemically by the lime
uniting with Tactic acid in silage, can
be assimilated by the COW. while cal
cium acetate will not be.

Care for Cows Through
Dry Period Important

Several weeks before the prospective
mother cows time comes for freshen-
ing, she should be dried off,"
This should be done for the rea-
son that the COW is preparing for
a hard ordeal and she needs and
should have all her strength re
served for the event. She should
not be required to divide her
strength with the production of milk.
True it is that some cows are
such persistent mixers that it is
quite difficult to get them dry, but
just as sure as water runs down hill
they will not produce as much milk
after freshening If they do not take
a vacation from milk production pre-
vious to the arrival of the newborn
calf.
One way to "dry up" persistent
mixer is to skip one milking, then
milk her dry next time, then skip two
milkings, and milk her dry, then three,
etc, until dry, meanwhile keep her off
good pasture and feed her nothing but
timothy hay, do not let any one handle
her udder between mflkings.
When the COW is dry she should be
fed generous rations of bran and
oats. the oats may be fed whole or
ground. The bran contains minerals
and the oats provide strength. In win
ter on dry feed the COW should have
oilmeal included in the ration.

Only Good Alfalfa
Seed Is Profitable
Use Hardy Seeds Where
Winter Killing Is Likely.

Alfalfa growers should purchase
their seed with care.
There are, several things to con-
slider in seed selection" says L. F.
GRADER, alfalfa specialist at the Wis
consin College of Agriculture Where
winter-killing is known to occur,
hardy strains such as Grimm and Cos
sack should be sown, as the extra
cost Is returned in better yield. Where
winter-killing is not serious and short
rotations are practiced, good common
strains have proved successful.
Strange as it may seem there is
less winter-killing in the northern half
of the state because of the better
covering of snow which they have in
that section.
Another advantage of Grimm alfal-
ia is in seed production which may
occur every other year or so. The
higher price received for the seed
makes this strain much more profit
able. Some growers have realized as
high as $50 an acre from this source.
A crop can be expected only when the
season is dry at blossoming time. In
regard to a seed crop, alfalfa does
not differ so much from clover, as
seed from that crop is not a certainty.
'The safest Grimm seed to buy is
that which has had a field inspection
and certification by the officials Of the
western states where 1t is produced
GRADER states. OF this there is an
enormous quantity, much of which is
in bags, branded or sealed, or both. by
these officials, which certifies its pu-
rity. This seed is available through
regular commercial channels of deal
ers and seed companies.
The strains which GRADER has found
best because Of the resistance to win,
ter-killing are those from South Da-
kota, Montana, and Kansas.

Do Not Sow Glover and
Sudan Grass Together

Do not sow sweet clover and sudan
grass together. You will get very
poor stand of sweet clover and If the
season continues dry there will be
practically no sweet clover. FROM 20
to % pounds of sudan grass seed is
required per acre. Sweet clover may
be sown alone at any time during the
summer up until the middle of Au-
gust if a good moist seed bed is pro-
vided. 1t may also be sown in corn
at the last cultivation or with soy
beans but the chances of getting a
good stand by seeding with these
crops are greatly reduced depending
upon the weather during the remain
der of the season. If there should be
plenty of rain the sweet clover may
make gond stand but if ii should be
unusually dry the stand is sure to be
So0r.

Crushed rock salt is the best chem

Valuable feed may be saved by

Those hens that mott early, that are

Cattle need liberal amounts of salt
and should have free access to it at

ground evaporated salt than any
other kind. The ground rock salt
seems to furnish enough for good re-

A Customer Who Wasn't
Wanted

Almost invariably, when men fall to
discussing examples Of business sa-
gacity, some one present is reminded
Of the illustrative incident of the white
tramp and the colored saloonkeeper.
For the benefit of those who have not
heard the story--if any such there be
cit is here and now set forth:
The colored man sat behind his bar
In a moment when trade was slack.
Through the swinging doors entered
the ragged Caucasian.
Give me good five-cent cigar" he
ordered.
The proprietor produced box con-
tanning number of malignant-looking
dark-brown rolls. The patron made a
discriminating choice and then In the
act of putting the cigar between his
lips checked himself as though struck
with new idea.
SAY, I've changed my mind" he
said. Believe I'll take a glass OF
beer instead"
The negro returned the cigar to Its
box and drew glass of beer. The
customer drank it, wiped his mouth
on the back of his hand and started to
withdraw.
"Yere, hole on. wife man." said the
negro, you forgot to pay fur dat
beer"
"Why. give you cigar for It."
Eyes, but you amt paid fur de
cigar, neither"
But you've still got the cigar, amt
you? What's the matter with you
anyhow
The colored man scratched his head
'Lemme see, boss" he said, "ef
gifts dis thing straight: You don't owe
me for de beer. cause you give me de
cigar fur it, and you don't owe me fur
de cigar cause you handed 1t back to
me. Is dat right?"
Certainly it's right" said the crafty
white.
"Ver' well, then" agreed the colored
man, 'but say, mister, wants to ak
you favor: Next time you feels lax
