B. G. ilei I wish to discover the

Is it necessary to have a chemical
analysis made of the soil?
A newer :- -The chemical analysis of
the soil tells the total amount of
plant food phosphoricfteld

distinouish between the available and
unavenable supply of these materials
in the sod, A chemical analysis is
therefore only indicative and is not a

ing practice:. To a farmer that un-.
der tails chemistry, of course, it
would be of value, but to the average.
man, untrained in this science, a
chem cal analysis weuld not be of
particular assistance. Probably the
best. %iris' the practical farmer can get
at information as to what fertilizer
will pay best on his ell is by choos-
ing a plantfood suited to make up
for the characteristic weaknesses of
the soil and to meet the needs of the
crop which is being fertilized. For
instance, clay soils are fairly well
supplied in all three important plant -
foods. After they have been farm-
ed for sometime the nitrogen and
phosphoric acid become deficient. If
you are attempting to grow a good
crop of grass on this land you will
need to add fertilizer high in nitrogen.
If it is grain you are fertilizing a
medium amount of nitrogen and
relatively high amount of phosphoric
acid with a little potaeh would pay
best. If these crops Etre to be grown
on sandy soil you must keep in mind
that sandy soil is poor in all three
of the plantfood constituents. Hence,
a larger quantity of all three ingredi-
ents will have to be used to give sat-
isfactory results.

fully recorded. The result has been.
that the farmer has never known'
what his hens were doing. In some
cases the flack has been a paying pro-
position and the hens have received'
no credit for the work. The raising;
of poultry has not been increased be
cause the amount of money the hens:
have added to the farm income has

flock has been consistently .a losing

been due to estimating the amount
of food used and the return for the

inaccurate on some farms and the

The time and effort required to keep
poultry' accounts is very small, When
once the habit of entering up sales
and feed bills has been formed it be-
comes almoet an instinct to place the

opportunity after a transaction has
been completed. Personally, I feel
uncomfortable after a deal until I
have had it chance to unload my mind
and transfer my rough notes to the
columns of the poultry account book,
A complicated system of book-
keeping is not necessary to determine
the profits and losses in the poultry
business. The principal point is to
record all sales or bills promptly and
then at the end of each month it is
possible to quickly strike a balance
and keow how the business stands.
Of course, it is not possible to know
exactly how a poultry buiness stands
each month because of the growing
stock which is being fed. Its value
is not definitely known. However,
if the receipts and expenditures are
carefully recorded, it will be possible
to tell the profits in the poultry busi-
ness at the end of the year and also
make a report on the income that will
be accurate and satisfactory.
