w'^rm &£phmi Crop Quorios CONDUCTED BY PROF. HENRY C. BELL The object of this department Is to place at the ter- vice of our farm readers the advice of an acknowledged authority on all subjects pertaining to soils and crops. Address all questions to Professor Henry G. Bell, in care of The Wilson Publishing Company, Limited, Toron- to, and answers will appear In this column in the order In which they are received. When writing l<lndiy men- tlon this paper. As space la limited it Is advisable where Immediate reply Is necessary that a stamped and ad- dressed envelope be enclosed with the question, when the answer will be mailed direct. J. F.: â€" My farm Is medium sand loam and I would like to know what kind of fertilizer would give the best results for oats and corn. Please tell me In what rotation the ingredients of fertillisrs are named in the printed analysis, such as 2-12-0, etc. Last sea- aon I used a fertilizer of one nitrogen, eight phosphoric acid and one potash, which i think gave good results on the corn and oat crops. Answer: â€" For fertilizers for oats I â- would advise ihe uae of 230 lbs. to the acre of a tertllljier analyzing 3% am- monia, 8% phosphoric add and 3% potash. For ccrn I would advise 300 to 400 lbs. per acre of a fertilizer analyzing 4% ammonia, 8% phosphoric acid and 4% potash. The order in which the Ingredients of fertilizer are named is as above, nitrogen, or am- monia first, phosphoric acid second and potash tUlrd. The 1-8-1 fertilizer that you mention la {in exceedingly low grade plantfood. If you got good results from It on your oats and corn, much more should you get good results from the higher grade material which I have mention- ed. Buying fertilizer U exactly like buying farm machinery or livestock. You can get low grade material at a low price. You have to pay higher price for higher grade material. P.C.: â€" What suggestions have you to offer as to the best crop to raise for hay at the same time not depleting the soil, and If need be, get a catch of clover and alaike? Answer: â€" I cannot advise a crop that can be raised for hay without de- pleting the soil. You cannot have your pie and eat It too. This does not mean that you cannot keep up the fer- tility or bearing capacity of the sol!, j but it does mean that ever>' crop that Is grown and liar>-ested takes out a definite amount of plantfood. It is thought by those who are partially in- formed that clover will maintain the fertility of the soil. If the clover crop Is (rrown and cut, in all probability the nitrogen of the toM will not be lowered becau-se clover, by virtue of its root structure, has the capacity to fix a certain amount of nitrogen In the soil. It takes from the soil phos- â-  phoric acid and potash and has no power whatever to add to the soil's Block of these ingredieuts, therefore tf a clover crop is grown, phosphoric acid and potash must be added, if you are going to maintaiu the stoclc of fer- tility In the soil. "" This is not the only way of looking at the fertility question. Nature has provided a great stock of plantfood. material in the soil. If by proper ro- tation of crops you can grow a clover crop once in three or four years, you add to the fertility of the soil as I have described. If at the same time you are able to apply a certain amount of manure to each of the tilled fields you are putting back just as much more nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. If in addilion to these prac- tices you make a judicious application of fertilizer suited to the crops and to make up the weaknesses of the soil, you do just that much more to main- tain this stock of plantfood. Whether you maintain this stock of plantfood or not is quickly shown by your yields from a number of years. The general result Is that yielding capacity of the soil is materially increased by the practices I have suggested. To illustrate definitely what I mean you do net feed your working team for the purpose of maintaining their weight, but you feed them in order to get as much work out of them as pos- sible. Is not this the logical way of looking at your soil. The results at all of the older experiment stations and on hundreds of well managed farms, where fertilizers have been used In combination with green man- ures such as clover and stock manure, are that the soil instead of becoming less productive has become more pro- ductive. The beat way to get a catch of clover and alsike Is to seed It with wheat or oats which have been fertilized at the rate of about 200 to 300 lbs. of fer- tiliser per acre, supplying 2 to 3% ammonia, 8% phosphoric acid and 2 to 3% potash. P.P.: â€" Is ground limestone good for grape vineyard? Answer: â€" It Is questionable whether ground limestone is profitable to ap- ply to tl'^ soil in the vineyard. One experiment results of which we have before us, Indicates that the addition of lime retarded the yield of the con- cord grape in 2 years tests reported at Rhode- Island Station. The usual place to apply lime Is to soil where a catch of clover or any other legume is de- sired. The benefit of its application under these conditions is evident since legumes like sweet soil. K. H.:â€" Will you kindly explain what tankage is, and what is its feed- ing value for bogs and cattle? Answer: â€" Tankage Is a mixture of meat scrap and general waste from the carcasses of butchered animals at the stock yards. This material Is cooked and the grease removed. In this process the liquid is drained off and the solid material Is dried and ground. It analyzes 5.75 to 107o nitro- gen and from 2 to 10% phosphoric acid. The material is exceedingly valuable as a source of protein for hogs, also some at times is fed to sheep. The protein in a ration is that part of the food which causes the pro- duction of flesh and muscle In the animal. In various experiments the use of tankage has proven highly valu- able In hastening the growth and ma- turity of hogs. It Is also fed in limited quantities to poultry with ex- ceedingly -good results. INTERNATIONAL LESSON. MARCH 21. John's Picture of Worship in Heaven â€"Revelation 7: 9-17. Golden Text, Rev. 7: 12, 9. .\ Great Multitude. There is a difforence, but not necessarily a con- tradiction, between this vision and the one preceding it (v. 1-8). It has been suggested that the vision of the sealed j^ members of the tribes of Israel may ; """B«;r have been drawn from an old Jewish â-  apocalypse. In any case it coutains i _^^^ ^^ the idea, so agreeable to the mind of ' springs shall they drink waters a Jewish Christian, hat the Church ^^ ^^^ P^,^^ t^^^ of Christ is the new Israel, the Israel of faith (see Rom. 9: 6-8, "children of promise"). And so God's promises to Israel are fulfilled in the salvation and future glory of the Church, which may. therefore, be pictured as constituted like the tribes of Israel. But in this second vision cf the great multitude the redeemed are regarded in a larger way as coming out of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues. The ancient barriers of race are broken down and all men come to- gether In Christ.

This great multitude is the host of the redeemed, saved by the faith of Christ, cleansed from the corruption of sin by fellowship with His sufferings and by the power of His Spirit. They, too. hi^e suffered, and have come up out of suffering to eternal victory. •They climbed the sleep ascent of heaven, Through peril, toll, and pain: O God, to u.s may grace be given To follow in their train."

They may suffer, but they shall be re- deemed, and out of earth's misery they rise to the joy of being with Christ. The parallel and complement of this vision of the redeemed In heaven is the vision of the holy city, the new fore the Lamb, clothed with the white robes of the new life, and bearing palm branches, symbols of victory. 10-12. They chant together a song of praise ascribing salvation to God and to Christ. Christ i» here, as la the Gospel of John, called the Lamb, because He was. regarded as having offered Himself a sacrifice for the sal- vation of His people, like the sacrifice of the Passover lamb which was a memorial of the deliverance from the plague which slew the flrstbom of Egypt (Exod. 12). Or there may be a reference to Him of the saying of Isaiah (53: 7). "He was led as a lamb to the slaughter." The angels about the throne take up the song and ascribe sevenfold praise to God (v. 12). Compare 5: 13. 13-17. One of the Elders. The elders appear In the throne vision of chapter ba angelic beings, Of this most goodly company â€" The good familiar folk that throng This room, from history and song: Scholars and poets, scribes and seers, Foregathering from other years ; High-hearted queens from distant days, Gray pilgrims treading patient ways; Soldiers and captains, kings, knights and 4. and appear to uc c,^a,^..,- o-. . . , „,^„i. such as the Jews conceived as form- 1 so it ,13 with people. of heaven will be the perfected social life of men upon the earth, from which , injustice, and uncieanness, and false- 1 Brave men of far adventuringaâ€" hood, and pain, shall be banished, and _ . , .u. u -... , j â- . » m which death itself shall be over- Each of earth s beautiful and best come.

And That enough thought is not given by farmers to the size of their horse stalls is the opinion of L. Ogllvy, who writes In "The Breeders' Gazette" as follows: "When i went to the stable I found tbs 16 and 17 hand horses in stalls not over 4 feet 6 indies in width. Tbere were a number of stocked legs, 6ome big joints, and a listless air as though they had rested badly. More- over, the stalls were damp, and they did aot contain a sulBcieul amount of absorbent.

"What Is the sense of aging them prematurely by not giving them room to stretch and lie at ease in the periods devoted to rest. Sixteen hands is 5 feet 4 inches. How can any horjie lie on his side and stretch In a stall less than that width? Yet horses are con- fined for weeks and months in pony pens, and expected to come fresh to work in the morning. The heavier the horse the more work he needs. A pony leg will outwear a draft leg any time, other things being equal. "There Is a legend that horses sleep standing, which is true when they suf- fer from some disability that makes lying and rising distressful, or when they are exhausted and cannot lie comtortafaly.. But that does not alter the fact that the leg belongs to the horse, and must have the best treat- ment possible, or else It will wear out first. If one cannot afford enough stall rocm or roomy enough stalls, they should be used for feeding, and the horses turned loose in the yards, preferably with sheds iu which to rest." So let us give a little thought to the w»y our horses are housed, as well as our machinery and tractors. Steel- horse parU can be replaced, but a leg made unsound by Improper stab- ling is a total loss. « .â€" Dc not feed green cut bone oftener tlian every other day. It is best fed m a trough.

IB«., JJJt^ Things I Have Learned About Parcel-Post Marketing The parcel post In its beginning was I rler was displeased at being incon- often hailed as a solution to the farm- 1 venienced with parcel-post packages, er's marketing problems.

We have used it. i U rained, and frequently weighed and and find it a very satisfactory method stnmped thetnat the <^*ce and aUow- of marketing. Eggs can be shipped safely by par- cel post In the commercial carriers. The packages can be returned for a I few cents, and used for another con- ; signmenl. Even hatching eggs carry '. s^-cy well through the mail if they are i _^j^,^ properly packed. This year we had ' the report of only two eggs broken out of a large number of shipments, and many good hatches were -reported. They were shipped in non-breakable containers holding either 13, 30. or 50 eggs each. Each egg is first wrapped in paper, and fitted securely In its sec- tion so there will be no room 'for jost- ling. Parcel-post package? of hatch- ing eggs cannot be sealed, as is the case with e.xpress shipments, but there seems to be little danger that t'ae packages will ever be tampered with during the trip If the packages are tied w it'll a stout cord. Another form of egg puckage con- sists of a box of hollow cylinders made of corrugated paper. There is a paper plug for each cylinder. Each cyllnlor holds one egg securely in place, and there is no chance for Jostling. We have never heard of an egg being broken In such a package when ship- ped by parcel post. Fresh butter is another product that carries very well by parcel post. Special containers can be procured, and arrangements made with city cus- tomers to take a certain amount each week or every other week. We have seen strawberries shipped by parcel post, but they arrived In only fair con- dition. This may have been due to an over-ripe condition of the fruit. The boxes were also scantily lllled, and of course the jostling of the trip caused them to settle, and this made an inferior-looking package. If the de- livery man must haul the fruit a long distance over his route before relum- ing to the post office, we would not advise the shipping of small fruit by parcel post, except possibly as an ex- periment to please some city relative or friend. Poultry can be shipped by parcfil post in the winter, and at least one city customer found that he could pur- chase fine broilers from a country friend and have them shipped tlirough the mall, and tho cost was still several cpnts under the retail price at his local dealers.' The stock was fresh and far superior to cold-storage poultry. One fault with shipping large a'mouuts of produce by parcel post Is the fact that the carriers who use a single buggy are not .equipped to take i the consignments. One producer who tried the sy.stem I Patriot: Have you thought of a Community Hall as a memorial of the boys who have not returned?

Should the girl take his hat? Is it correct to go to the door with a caller who ia leaving? And must t always thank an escort for bringing- me home? It is of no consequence whatevei who opens the door when a young maa calls upon a girl. If she happens to- be near at hand, she may open it. Any member of the family, or a ser- vant, may open it also. There should be no set form of salutation. It is' presumable that a girl would greet any caller in a pleasant way. A man ia supposed to take care of his own hat, although in the absence' of a hat-rack or halt table, it is cotirt- eoua to indicate to him where he diaU place .it. A girl is not supposed to hand him his hat when he leaves.' First, last and always, a man ia sup-- posed to take care of his hat and Accompany a caUer to the door, but do not linger there.

This has frequently been a great convenience when we were busy, as it takes some time to weigh up and stamp a number of packages. How- ever, after a littie experience and a study of the zone map. the farmer Is to figure out his own postage rates, and this saves time for the car- rier. Owning a pair of postal scales is a great couvenieuee to the farmer and the mail man. They can ba pur- chased for a moderate sum at most city stationery stores. The best method of using the par- cel post Is first to ship to friends and relatives who are appreciative of quality goods. Then the number of customers may be enlarged by addinj; the names of buyers who are highly recommended by peopl' that are well known for their integrity. A parcel-post business in garden or poultry products may mean some cor- respondence, and this should be cut down to the minimum. The best method is to have an understanding that so many dozen eggs or pounds of butter are to be shipped at regular in- tervals. Then do not take on too many customers, and be forced to cut some of them out at the first shortage of eggs or butter. It Is best to have only regular customers that can sure- ly be supplied and then leave a sur- plus. There Is always a market for that surplus, and it acts as a reserve to keep the private customers supplied with their needs. Of course, special crops will aeed some telephoning or correspondence, and this must be taken into consideration when trying to market by parcel post at a profit. The great advantage of the parcel- post is in saving trips to town. A far- mer with private customers aud plenty of field work may find that twenty or thirty dozen eggs have accumulated in a few days. The weather may be hot, and he wishes to sell them while fresh. He is too tired to drive down at night, possibly before Saturday. The teams are busy during the day. anil th? wife doe.^ not wish lo drive'uown' wiiiie ii is so hot. Why not pack those eggs in substantial paroel^ost containers and send them to the regular customers? The cost of the stamps will be far less than the cost of the trip to town. Of- ten. In the winter, the roads are bad. aud butter and eggs or a carrier of fruit and vegetables can be shipped lo a city consumer without loss. To the credit of the rural carriers it might be said that the roads are seldom bad enough to keep them at home. .\re you aw.ire that the rural mall carrier is the most poorly paid of all civil servants?

"Oh, I'm so glad U Canada to be Important Fur Market. Canada is now exporting to cthet countries, according to Dominiou Government figures, $14,000,008 worth of furs and skins iu the course of a year, and a number are brought back into the country, purchased by Cana dian dealers at foreign sales and re sold to Canadian?. The value of furs and skins exported during the fiscal year 1918-1919 was $13.7:!7.021. Ot these $9,743,464 worth went to the United States. $3,763,955 to Great Bri« tain, and $230,202 to ether countries. Some extent of the values to which these exports have risen can be ob- tained from the fact that the value of the export of furs and skins in 1917 was but $5,837, 3S3. During the month of March. 1919. the value of these ex- ports was $2,080,704 as compared with $1,420,168 in the corresponding month in 1918. It has been estimated that eighty per cent, of the sliver foxes of the world come from Canada. For nearly four centuries Canada has been one of the largest and njost productive fields of the fur trade, and it is impossible to estimate the num- ber or the value ot the costly peltu taken from the traps of the Dominion in this period. Yet, until quite recent- ly, the fur trade was hardly organized on a business basis, and beyoud the trapping and taking ot the furs the various phases of tho industry passed out ot Canadian hands. Traders beughl from the trappers and then the raw materials went to the larga for- eign markets. There has gradually dawned â-  reailzatiou of the money lost in this way, however, and in future Canada will mar'itet her own furs and Mont- real become one of the most Important fur markets of the globe.
