Fertilizers Give

?he annual report of the Con
w tieui Experiment Station at
J? 9 Haven gives some interesta,
facts about fertilizers sold in

Q"-. illy sold more than 2d7 brands
0 ertilizers, costing from $25 to
per ton, for which farmers
annually not far from a

h " ? value is therefore a live

with some discussion of the

Wasting Feeding Stuff.
In North Carolina ovet$0,000,000
of commercial fertilizers are
annually purchased. Fully half
of this immense amount is exponded
for cottonseed meal. We
are taking a feeding stulf and
using it as a fertilizer, writes a
North Carolinian who has been
thinking the matter over and doj
ing a little figuring, it should be
j used first as a food? for farm anij
-rials and then when it becomes
I manure let it go to the soil.
A ton of cottonseed tnoal is
I vorfh $20 for either feeding or
i.or fertilizer. If that ton is applied
to the soil it is worth but
$21 to the user. If it is lirsr fed to
animals tiie user gets $22 returns
as food. But the animal has used
only one fourth of the] elements
in the ton, or $5 50 worth. There
;s left through feeding $10.50
worth of manure. The user then
has a double profit in first using
as a feeding stuff and saving the
voidiugs as manure as).follows:
Value as a feeding stulF, $22;
value as a fertilizer, $10.50 ; total,
pH 50.
Had this cottonseed meal simply
been used as a fertilizer there
would have been a loss of $10.50
<er ton.
Every feeding stuff contains
tlaiu. food ; some are very valuade
as fertilizers, others relatively
poor. If an animal is fed rich
f.iod. rich manure will he made;
if p.thru poo*- manure will be
made.?N at ion a I l'rovisioiur
High-Priced Mules.
The price of mules has gone up
rind up until they are almost out
of reach of the average farmer in
this section.
The rise is due to various cans

More men die from worry than

themselves to death than die tit
starvation ; more break their

Give the Horse his Head.
Teamsters in the oitieB generally
give their horses a free head,
as they find they pull together
better without the cheek rein to
hinder their work, and this move
meat is gaining popularity
among the farmers in all eiviuz
ed countries. They will work bet
ter in plow or road with a free
head. An English farmer writes
London Farm and Home: 4,Wil)
you kindly give publicity in your
columns to a movement that is
now being instituted to induce
farmers to work their horses
without hauie reins and blinkers if
It is suggested that at plowing
matches the committee should ot
fer a pair of open cart bridles a.a
prize for the best team plowing
this year without hame reins
(check reiiiR), and that next year
competitors' teams, in addition
to plowing without hame-reins,
should wear open bridles. Carters
can practice their teams in ruling
bridles. Tills plan has been a
great success in several places,
and only requires to becomes
better known to be more gener
ally adopted. It is hoped that
land owners will set the exam
pie on their home farms and en
courage tenants to follow it, and
also that breeders of heavy draft
horses will have their young
stock broken to open bridles for
it is best. '?Live Stock Journal.
Cabbages Dying.
A North Carolina reader lias

had Home disease among her cab
nages the past two years. The
leaves begin to turn yellow, and
soon the entire plant dies down.
It seems to spread from one to
he other. She asks whether this

is club mot is not so very common
as to make us very much
afraid of it. Nor is it likely to
pread from one plant to the oth
or in the patch. The infection
may tie in the soil, and when the
conditions lor its development
ipe favorable may aU'ect the
roots of cabbages, kale and other
plants ot that family. Usually it
is troublesome only where c.b
bages and similar crops are
crown repently in succession on

conditions are more favorable t<?
