Answerr-Mn growing onions ont muck soil the fertilizer that is applied should carry from 1 to 2 per cent. ammonia, 8 to 12 per cent. avnilsble phosphoric acid and 1 to 3 per cent. potash if it is obtainable. Successfuli onion growers use upwards of 1000 pounds of fertilizer per acre. Many good yields are obtained where 500 to 800 pounds of such fertilizer is used. However, the largest quantity pro- duces greatest yields. Similar ferti- llizer, applied in equal quantity gives l best results also on cabbage, when this GG is produced on muck soils. To bring the breeding ewes to 11.etil ing time in good vigorous condition, and only in medium flesh, is the prob-l lem of wintering breeding ewes. This can be done by giving plenty of ex- ercise and the right kind of feed) regularly. When the fall grass‘ is soft it is a good plan to start with a little dry feed before the ewes are removed from the pan- ture. Hay may be used at this time, although a feed of half a pound of ’grain a head daily can be fed more conveniently. Raped rye, sown With small gram or drilled in the corn, is excellent for fall feed, and is also useful in the spring. This is an economical feed, and is helpful in keeping the sheep in good condition. With plenty of rough- nge, such as red clover or alfalfa hay, .

Corn silage can be msed to furnish sueeulenee, though some losses and a great deal of trouble have resulted from impro- per feeding of silage.
