President Chas S Barrett, Union MEAN- For many years the farmers of the South have been more or less fami liar with the terms “nitrogen,” '•phosphoric acid.” and “potash,” which designate the valuable plant food constituents of fertilizers. As a rule, however, they have positively refused to learn, or even consider, the significance of the terms which The Lord loves you: don't be afraid designate the most valuable consti- of anything. tuents of feeds. The reason given is that “we are not live stock men and not interested in that subject.” i This seems more than passing Attend a neighbor s vendue and strange for very little thought would help him out a little. goon s how any man that we feed The w’orst bedfellow in the world more to our live stock than we spend is worry; kick it out! for fertilizers, in some sections very # -ii c i j much more.

The remedy is cheap, and as a rule a single treat ment in the fall appears to protect trees for the entire winter. Its more extensive use is recommended. Don’t forget when ordering seeds or plants for starting new plantings of asparagus, that Palmetto and Argenteuil are less susceptible to at tacks of rust than other varieties. Some growers say that while Argen- „ teuil produces larger shoots it does not yield so well as the Palmetto. Others say that it takes about five years for Argenteuil to become es tablished and ready for business. After that the yield will equal that of Palmetto. Because of the uni formly large shoots, Argenteuil is the variety for the man who is after * the fancy trade. * $ The farmer has time these long evenings and bail days to work his brains and broaden his vision by reading, planning and studying. He has time to weigh problems and to write letters that should have been written long ago. I know some farmers living handy to the village store who spend every evening and bad day loafing. This is too much of a good thing. I believe in divid ing the time up a little better. The fellow who has no desire to improve hia mental qualities, or to figure out why he has not* made much money in the past year, might at least spend a little time in doing things for the comfort and pleasure of Lho*e N he loves.—From re nal the fats are 2 2-5 times more efficient up to the limited extent to which they can be used. That is, a small amount of fat, say one-half pound, has a feed value equal to 2 2-5 times i. or 1’1-5 pounds of carbohydrates. The carbohydrates are chiefly made up with the starches and sugars in feeds and the fats with the oils and gums. They are used by the animal to make heat and energy, to keep up animal life and to do certain kinds of work. The mature animal that is idle or that is fattening needs or uses relatively large quantities of these materials. The protein can also be used to do the same work or feupply the same needs that arc sup plied by the carbohydiates and fats, but is usually more expensive. The carbohydrates and fats, however, can not supply the place of the pro tein. thinw ■e of t February Farm Jour- TABOR LOCAL UNION MEETS This local met on Jan. 21, 1910, with a good attendance.
