The hen never lays an egg until all "he ingredients necessary for the complete development of a chick are present. Since the egg contains pro- tein as well as carbohydrates, any amount of carbohydrates fed in the form of grain will not offset the no- ccssity of protein. Milk given to the birds, either as a drink o'.' in the form of wet mash, will double egg yields. Commercial meat sump is of equal‘ value, and may be substituted when; milk cannot be obtained. l Growing birds need mineral matter in their feed a good deal more than do those that have gained their full growth. Old birds are not making bone and muscle as much as they did once. But it stunts chicks and young hens to get short of grit and shells. A dry atmosphere is a pretty good insurance against canker and roup. Shun low, damp, foggy places for the poultry business. Fix up a sheltered corner for early broody.

It will supply much nos cessary food to potatoes as well as to other farm crops. However, in many of the large potato growing sections. the growers prefer to put the manure on land set apart for other crops such as wheat or meadow, and to give the potatoes their additional food in the form of fertilizers. Stock manure, 4th-Potatoes require an abundance of well-balanced plant food. Remem- ber, potatoes have to be fed just like your hogs, or calves, or poultry, if you are to get largest yields of best qual- ity.

There are at ileast five great essentials in growing; this crop, each of which must be care- .fully observed if big yields or iGtl, ”utility are to be harvested: l Is your soil deeply fall plowed, so that it can catch and retain the great amount of water that falls upon it in the shape of snow and rain during winter and early spring? Are you sure you cannot control the moisture supply, at least to a com siderable extent? "Ah, yes.'" ydio say, "that is just where we cannot control conditions." 2nd---Potatoes must have an abund- ance of moisture, especially when the tubers are filling. Potatoes will not thrive in water- logged soil. See that the open drains are clear and the tile drains are doing their work. Plant your crop on sod land that was deeply plowed. The tu- bers swell rapidly in July. They must not be constricted by heavy, closely packed soil. Disk and barrow the socdbed till it is mellow. lst~Potato soil must be fairly open, friable, and must be well drain- ed. If Ontario produced in 1917 300 bus. per acre of potatoes on the acreage devoted to potatoes last year, she could provide one pound of potatoes I day for a whole year for a population of 8,250,000 people. Can she do it? I believe she can. Such an accom- plishment is but the result of applying methods which have "proven out" no further removed from Ontario than Aroostock Co., Msine.

In Europe the farmer knows as well as the American farmer that straw is inot liked by stock, but instead of 'burning it, or otherwise wasting it, lthe European farmer chop: it up, :mixes it with beets, mangels, silage, {or other feeds, and makes it so palat- i Ible that it can be fed to good advant- loge. _ Remember that well drained land, plentifully supplied with humus, en- riched with suitable Unilable fertil- izer prbduces largest crops of best quality potatoes, if good seed is plant- ed and care is taken to control dis- ease and insect pests. 1 Proper potato fertilization is un- "ioubtedly the secret of big yields. It is the measure that British agricul- turists are so strongly advocating at this moment. As long as they were able to obtain available phosphoric .acid, potato fertilization was what made it possible for Britain's enemy to produce such quantities of potato food for man and beast. q5th---Control potato disease.

Amounts in excess of this should be sown broadcast over the potato seedbed and carefully harrowed or diskcd into the soil before the potato drills' are "struck" or the crop is planted. Of course the potato planter, with fertil- izer dropping attachment deposits the fertilizer in the row, to best advant- age. Dir. Woods of Maine Exp.

On one test where potatoes followed sod he applied 1600 lbs. of fertilizer to the acre, and har- vested the following: I If you have a quantity of wood ashes you will do exceedingly well to ‘scatter it on your potato seedbed and to work it into the soil. Well-stored wood ashes carries from 2 to 8 per, cent. potash. ( How much shall you use? ( Prof. Zavitz " the recent conven-l tion of the Ontario Experimental Union reported that as a result of 95 tests of potato fertilizers throughout the province during the last 5 years,‘ the experimenters obtained an aver-; age yield of 122.4 bus. per acre with-' out fertilizers, and 141.3 bus. per acre where 320 lbs. of fertilizer was applied, and 161,9 bus. per aerel where 960 lbs. of fertilizer was added.) nu. ul--.l..

It is the nitrogen which forms 3 ' per cent. of the ammonia, whieh' greatly aids the rapid and sturdy. growth of the potato vine. The potato', fertilizer should also supply from tl! to 10 per cent. of available phosphoric acid. It is the phos. acid which causes the plant to ripen and form its tubers. Before the war potato growers were using from 3 to 10 per cent. of potash in their potato plant food. It is this important food which! aids the starch to form and fill out the tuber. Under present conditional potato fertilizers had best carry 1 to i , per cent. of potash. I STRAW AS FODDER. H!
