Back in 1876, almost 80 years ago.
Newman Silverthorn of the Province of
Ontario, Canada, was dissatisfied with
the long, tedious task of scraping and
cleaning of hogs.
His dissatisfaction resulted in one of
the early machines which embodied
ideas later used in more modern
machinery-a machine to scrape and
clean hogs.
Here is the inventors claim duly
noted and sealed at Washington, DC:
This invention consists in an arr
rangement of straight scrapers, affixed
horizontally to endless belt passing
around drums, four in number, (held
with a suitably reconstructed frame)
upon shafts or spindles made to re-
volve by the most convenient mechani-
cal power, the whole machine being so
arranged and operated, as hereafter
specified, that the whole body of the
hog rests upon the travelling scraperss
which, in passing over the surface of
the body, effectually remove the hair

of ammonium nitrate per acre. Forty
pounds of available phosphoric acid
would require a 100-pound application of
triple superphosphate. Or, the am

cations of each to supply 20 or 80
pounds of nitrogen plus 40 pounds of

to depth of 3 or 4 inches prior to
seeding or place in a band an inch or
two below or to one side of the seed
during seeding
Anhydrous ammonia may be substi-
tuted for other nitrogen materials. This
should be applied prior to seeding.
Alfalfa and Clover
In the preparation of land for the
seeding down of alfalfa or clover, the
blowing under in the fall of a 200 to
3O0-pound application per acre of triple
superphosphate is advised. Legumes
regain readily available supply of
PHOSPHORUS for maximum production.
On established stands of Iegumes
under irrigation 100 to 200-pound fall
application of triple superphosphate is
advised. If broadcasted, it is best to
work this in with harrow or spring
tooth. Drilling-in is preferable to broad
casting. However, don't expect to revive
an old thin stand with phosphate. Tear
it up and reseed.
Irrigated Pastures
The fall application of fertilizers on
irrigated pastures is advised Where
both grasses and 1egumes make up the
pasture mixture and no manure is
applied, 50-pound application of avail
able nitrogen and so pounds of avail
able phosphoric acid is advised. Where
manure is applied. the nitrogen appli-
cation may be reduced by one-ha1f and
slightly less phosphoric acid may be
used
Nitrogen applications can be made
in the fall on medium or heavy tex
tured soils without loss from teaching.
Sugar Beets, Corn
Under irrigation. fall blowing is again
the usual practice in preparation for
sugar beets. At this time the blowing
