Ao a matter elf fact, it is vow
ereneonly recognized that the farm-
yard manure realized on the average
farm is Insufficient to maintain tite
average fertility of the soil. As it

almost all forms of nitrogen, potash
and phosphoric acid In crude ma-
terials was as available as plant
food as farm yard unwire, and in
many instances more readily con-
trolled in its deeds. This led gra-
dually to the establishment of great
fertilizer manufacturing industries.
So extencive has this indestry be-
come that wo aro now taleing ot

FERTILIZER AS A MANLIRil
This grew out of the need et a, cor-
rect balance for particular crops,
of the three elements of plant food.
At the same time, the plant food
composition of manures must always
hold high rank, being practically a
natural manure, and being ;nude up
of the very, materials it is desired
to grow. Stated in fertilizer lan-
guage, and' supposing 10 tons of
farm yard manure are concentrated
to a weight of one ton, for fer-
tilizers are practically concentrated
manures, the analysis of this man-
ure fertilizer would be as follows
Nitrogen, 5 per cent; phosphoric
acid, 3 per cent, and potash, 6
per cent.
Practically, where clovers aro
grown in rotation, the nitrogen may
be reduced to 2 per cent., and as
tho pbosphoric acid becomes /avail-
able very slowly it should be in-
creased to 5 per cent. With this we
have an ideal formula, based

FARM NOTES.
Whenever you see a cow humped
up on the north side of the cow
barn, you can put it down that the
winter feed in the barn will be used
at a dead loss, and that additional
feed will be required to take the
chill out of the cow's hack, and
you will never in the wide world
make a profit in the milk pail. Such
a condition. of affairs may be put
down as a result of carelessness on
the part of the farmer. a the by-
gone times when such customs pre-
vailed, the mortgage foreclosure
was, as a rule, only a question of
time.
In a horse well maiked fellness of

and the setting of the ears, accom-

and narrowness back of the ears
there, be kindly disposition

Roots are a valuable crop for tho
farmer to grow, c•swelally mangels
and turnips. Eight pounds of roots
are equal to one pound of grain,
and four pounds of grain, properla
fed, will give one pound gain iii
live weight in hop. Figuring on
this basis, an acre of roots,
Ing 800 husbele, will give 1,500
pounds of live weight. An acre of
barley yielding de Umbels, will give
001 pounds of hiro weight. The

At an Oltio fo.roaerte inStitUte last
week the idea was advanced that
farmers shoula aboundon, their or--

The dairy barn should be well
lighted, with windows on the south,
and those windows should be kept
clean. We bane seen barn windows

cows need sunlight, not only for
health, but to produce milk and

. The most exhaustive crops of fere
tility are those grown for their
seeds, . while 'the most ameliorating
are those consumed in a green' state -
on the farm. Of the different crops,
clover draws a larger portion from
the air than almost any other crop
grown on the farm.
BRIDGES OF 'KETTLES.
Perhaps the most remarkable
bridges in the world are the kettle
bridges in Russia and Siberia, of
which Cossack soldiers are expert
builders. They are built up of the
soldiers' lances and cooking kettles.
Seven or eight lances are placed un-
der the handles of a number of kete
ties and fastened by Means of ropes
to form a raft. Each of these rafts
will bear the weight of half a ton.
LADY SMUGGLERS.
A woman inspector of the NOW
York Customs noticing something
strange about the fit of the Parisian
gowns of two young Michigan ladies
who had just arrived from Europe,
insisted on a closer examination,
and found the ladies were both wear-
ing silver fox fur rauffs and boas as
garters.'`
