I have no fertilizer dr:ill, flow much fertilizer would it take to equal ten tons of manure per Answer: On the sandy learn soil, I would advise you to use from 50.0 to 750 lbs. per acre of a 4-8-4 fertil- izer. I do not believe the top a_ppli- ,estiez) of fertilizer would give you as goad results as you would obtain if you scattered in the bottom of the drill row or hole which was open to renive the potato pieces, then cover it with a light sprinkling of soil and drop the potato, pieces, and proceed as usual. A 4-8-4 fertilizer contains akuut as much nitrogen and potash as about 10 tons of manure and as much phosphoric acid as 20 tons, B. Se In the past we have been troubled with ent-worms. Would you not give us some method of handling these destructive pests. Answer: One of the best methods ci combatting cut -worms is to make a soft bran mash. and to mix in a pasture? We have about eight acres that we will either put to corn or peas, to hog down. How many hogs would the eight acres carry if pot to peas, and aboritewhat time could the pigs be turned in?' How many Peas would yen. Ow to the acre? Would you ad- vise sowing oats with theta, if so what, proportion? Do you think peas are better so:eel:broadcast or in drills? Answers: SPeaking generally, peas are best grown for grain which is high in protein and makes exceedingly good hog feed. For grain it is a com- mon practice to sow about 11A bus. of peas to the acre.

The soil seems very loose and is easily worked and raises good corn, pump - Tans, squash, etc. Answer: Muck ',soil is weak in phos- phoric acid. and very weak in potash. These are two constituents of plant - food that stnawiberries have great need of, hence if you apply from 800 to 500 lbs. per acre of a 10-8 fertilizer on a muck soil where strawberries are growing you should have good results.

One cause. for low •egg product-to/1m the average flock during the summer months is the fact that the broody hen is not quickly "hreken up" or .got ten back to laying. Careful records have .shown that the average broody hen, if placed' in a broody coop the first clay she goes broody, will lay again in ten days. If she is allowed to stay broody ten days and then put in a 'broody coop, it will be twenty-five days before she will commence laying. If -allowed to stay broody twenty-one days, it will be thirty-five days before she will lay. It is therefore essential to' "break up" the broody, hen the first day she chow's simpthrirs of broodiness.. most -efficient 'way to "break up" hroodifiess is to put the hens in a good broody coop.
