Without addi- tional fertilizers the same plats were seeded the following year to barley. Those that had been in clover yielded an average of 37 3-3 bushels to the acre, while the others yielded but 20 'bushels. This experiment furnishes a 'clear demonstration that the goof et- | fect of the clover lasts more than one | + In another experiment oats were grown on four plats, following respec- tively brome grass, mixed grass with- out clover, mixed grass with clover and clover alone. The respective yields jwere 38 1-10, 86 3-10, 461-10 and 431% bushels. The average of the two plats where no clover had been used was 8434 bushels, while that of the two where clover had been used averaged \¢434 bushels. The benefit derived from the red * plover amounted to ten bushels per acre qnore than was derived from the grasses. * 'Other experiments conducted In this | © same series showed very marked fa- | worable results both to crops of fodder | and potatoes following clover.

The most ical use of clal fertilizers is only reached when they are applied In rotations in which the soil Is maintained in good moisture condition by the use of barnyard ma- nure or the vegetable matter from crops grown for the purpose.

No was received from a hotel which silage milk was delivered for period of one month, On the whole, If of Good Quality. | This Is strong evidence that if the silage is of good quality and used in | reasonable amounts, in connection with other feed, it 1s one of the best feeds obtainable for dairy cows when pas- ture is not available. It must be re- membered that in all of this work | nothing but good silage was fed, and no spoiled silage was allowed to accu- mulate in or around the silo. When sllage imparts a bad or disagreeable flavor to the milk produced from it, almost invariably the cause is that the silage has not been fed properly or that spoiled silage has been used. It should not be understood from this discussion that the ttme of day a food is fed which may impart a bad flavor to the milk is of no consequence. All feeds of this nature should be fed after milking and not before to avoid the possibility of producing an unpleasant flavor fu the milk. Locating the Incubator. | As to location of the incubator, do not place it in a room where it will be between two windows where a draft is likely to blow across it. The machine should not be located where ' the sun can fall across it or strike the floor too close to it. The effect of the sun ubpon the machine is pe- culiar, and while the temperature in the room may not seem to rise the sun will cause the egg chamber to | heat more rapidly than might be sup- posed, thereby interfering with the ad- | justment of the regulator. Do not lo- | cate the machine in a north or west | room unless it is impossible to find | another place. A south or east room is far more satisfactory, says a writer in Orange Judd Farmer. The incubator should be where there is a fire all the time, or it should be in a room where there is no fire at all If the machine is placed in a room where there is no fire, it should be borne in mind that the eggs cannot be cooled in a temperature lower than 60 degrees for any length of time with- out chilling the eggs. The eggs should be between the folds of a blanket and carried into an adjoining room where there is a fire. The operator should use every pos- sible care in keeping the lamp bowl and lamp burner scrupulously clean and free from ofl or any other for eign settlings. If this is not done the heat of the burner will naturally gen- erate some gas, and, If this be thrown off in the room, is sure to be gathered back into the incubator, and as it flows through the egg chamber to cause a great deal of damage, lutely sweet and fresh. Be yery care- ful to see that the incubator sits per fectly level, but do not attempt to level it by a water bottle, pan of water or by anything except a carpenter's spirit level. Be sure to set the machine true in the front and back and across each end, as this will insure a perfect cir of afr th the tanks as well as through the egg chamber, which will play a good part in produe- ing strong, healthy chickens. Apples In Storage. It has been determined that well colored, hard ripe fruit will keep bet- ter in cold storage than fruit picked before it is mature or after it has gone beyond full ripeness. Many varieties of apples when stored immaturely de velop a trouble in storage known as scald, the skin becoming brown patches, especially on the green or detracts from the appearance and com- mercial value of the fruit--8.

A formula for this mixture for aspara- gus only would be nitrate of soda, 800 pounds; sulphate of ammonia, 100 pounds; tankage, 200 pounds; acid phosphate, 1,000 pounds, and muriate of potash, 400 pounds. Bone may be substituted for tankage if more de sirable. The main object of either tankage or bone is to get 2 mixture dry enough to drill. In discussing fer- tiligers for this crop I do not wish to be understood as advocating a com- plete fertilizer. When Applied. In my own practice I use acid phos phate and potash, three parts of the former to one of the latter. Mix thor- oughly and apply broadcast very early in the spring or late winter and work in the soil with future cultivations. The farther down near the roots this is left when feeding time begins the better. The nitrogenous part of my fertilizer--usually nitrate of soda--I apply broadcast when cutting season is over. 1 fully indorse the mixing of fertilizers at home for this or many other crops In preference to paying a greater price for an unknown article, and further than that the grower who knows his soll and its requirements ing that which is deficient in larger quantiyy and withholding that which 1s not needed, PROFIT IN ONIONS. Satisfactory Returns In Growing the Yellow Globe Variety. An instance of where Connecticut river valley farmers are making farnr ing pay is afforded by the experience of Arthur Hobart of Franklin county, Mass., last fall. From two and a half acres of his land there was harvested 2,050 bushels of Yellow Globe Danvers onions, These sold at 50 cents a bush- el or more at the time of harvest, and in the entire lot there was not more than ten bushels of small onions. Fer tilizer was applied at the rate of ong ton of high grade to the acre. This cost about $45. The fleld was taken om shares, and Mr. Hobart figures that the rent of the land for the year re- turned him $125. It is quite a frequent practice in the onfen growing belt for a man to sup- ply the land, the fertilizer and half the seed and let a second party come in and do all the work, each taking half at the harvest. One good point urged for this practice is that it is mutually profitable to all interested. Polanders frequently lease land in this way and with the help of their fami lies and immediate friends' handle a large amount of work during the sea- son. In fact, it is said they will han- dle more than twice as much as they would working as day laborers. In the cut, from New England Heme- stead, are shown specimens of the on- fons that contributed toward such sat sfactory results. Greatest Corn States.
