[ JHE TOP DRESSING I , ! OF SILL GRAIN; i i ' . I < USUALLY ADD8 MATERIALLY TO , THE YIELD SAYS PROF. T. E. > KEITT. ' s 1 < DRIED BLOOD IS EFFECTIVE ! ? " IWhen Applying a Top Dresser Appll- ' cation Should Be Made When Blades Are Dry. ' The topdresalng of small grain usually adds materially to the yield, j During these times when the in- | crease in production Is so vitally 1m- , portant the proper use of nitrate of ( soda, sulphate of ammonia or dried | blood as a topdersRlng for grain \ should prove very effective. At present prices the use of nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia should prove most profitable, as they are considerably cheaper per pound of actual nitrogen than dried blood. The addition of topdressers to oats has been particularly effective at the Coast Station: dried blood applied at the rate of 120 pounds per acre showed an average increase of 24.6 bushels of oats per acre when applied In addi- ! tlon to 600 pounds of 8-4-4 fertilizer j per acre; sulpbate of ammonia at the rate of 75 pounds per acre, 34.0 bushels increase; and, nitrate of soda at the rate of 100 pounds per acre showed an average Increase of 20.7 bushels per acre. L At the Pee Dee Station the use of ^ nitrate of soda as a topdresser for ^1 oats, that had been fertilized at plan* ing time, applied early at the rate of 100 pounds per acre has shown an average increase of 19.R bushels of oats per acre, a late application of the j same amount of nitrate of soda showed an average increase of 17.0 bushels per acre: while double application made at both times showed an aver- < age Increase of 22.0 bushels per acre. These results Indicate that an earlv topdressing at the rate of 100 pounds of nitrate Of soda fir tt? Pnnlvnlmit r?f sulphate of ammonia. 75 pounds, or ( the equivalent of drlod blood. 120 pounds, will give most economical results. The early applications are made ' about March 1st. When applying a ' topdresser the appUratfon should be made when the blades of the plants 1 are dry to prevent scalding. Generally speaking, larger Increases 1 are obtained from topdresser^ where the grain has not heen fertilized. < TJnder this condition at the Const Stn- i tion 120 pounds of dried blood showed .a gain of 38.8 bushels of oats, 75 t pounds of sulphate of ammonia 45 0 | bushels, and 100 pounds of nitrate of aoda 39.4 hushels. However, the total "yield Is generally greater when fer- ^ tllizer Is applied before planting and later a topdrcssing is used as lndi- . cated. The use of topdressers scorns to be more effective on light sandy soils . than on the heavier phases. T. E. KEITT. Chief, Division of Soils and Chemistry. POINTS TO EMPHASIZE IN 8E- i ucv/i inu nuvio. t ( In /electlrtg hogs either for breed- * ing or feeding there are Home points I < to which one should give special at- f tentlon. v The question of breed Is largely a 1 L matter of personal preference, how-*v ever, one should consider the popu larity or demand for what he proposes \ to breed. Chooae a breed that has j proved a good one?there are several -?then tnlect stock that are as true to type as you can got. Constitution Is of vital importance. It Is natural thnt animals of strong constitution have bettor appetites; * animals that give the most economical 1 and rapid gains are the ones that eat freoly. Indications of constitution are v large heart girth and a broad, well- 1 shaped head. 1 Body capacity Is another esaentlnl, 1 though It is very commonly lacking In j hogs. Body capacity is found in th? ? animal that haa plenty of "stretch"? j good length, depth and breadth. Insist on quality which Is Indicated by the hair and bone especially, and the general finish and refinement of the animal as a whole. When a boar Is to be selected, look for the points already mentioned and ! in addition select an individual that la strong In masculinity and the characteristics of the breed he represents. If a brood sow. look for femininity ! together with the points mentioned. t Experienced breeders place murb ; stress on pronounced sex character!*- ( tics as they are Intimately associated with prepotency and regularity in | breeding.

HE COLD FRAME SHOULD ALp WAYS ACCOMPANY THE HOTBED. low TO CONSTRUCT ONE lants Should First Be Started in Hotbed Then Transplanted^ the Cold Frame. For forcing early vegetables such bb Diuatoes, egg plants, peppers, etc., the otbed is indispensable. To construct hotbed an eastern or southern exosure should be selected. The rame should be 6 feet wide and any esired length. As a rule for the fan1 ly garden, a hotbed 6 by G feet will e sufficient for rearing all young lants for the garden. It would be luch better, however, to have a frame by 12 feet. This will afford ample pace for transplanting the plants and ive them more rootu in order that hoy may properly develop. The soil 1 excavated to a depth of IK inches lid the frame built G t'eet wide and he desired length and fitted over the ronch. The frame should slope lo/ards the east in order to admit suuIglit. The bottom of the frame is died with fermenting stable manure, diis should lie mixed thoroughly lieore being placed in the frame and lacked firmly and watered freely im aediately afterwards. In the south 2 inches of manure will furnish suficient heat for hotbeds; while in the lorth, where the weather is more se ere, two teet of manure is usuallv ised. On top of the manure is placed ix inches of garden soil which has >een well sifted and is free from ali oots and trash. This should be lightly packed in order to make lr >erfectly level. The sash of the raine are always three feet wide and ix feet long. The frame, therefore, houhl either be constructed three, ix, nine, or 12 feet wide. After the rarden soil has been placed in tlv rame, it is well to cover this with one nch of llnely sifted woods earth. Voods earth is used because it i ilways free from grass and wee 1 eeds which are frequently very troudesome when the garden soil is used tfter the bed has been completed th ash are put in place and the frame ,llowcd to stand fo? 3 or 4 days hefor ; ilantlng the seed. This is done in rder to allow the bed to become thormghly warm before planting. Th r eeds may then be planted, watered lightly, and the sash replaced. A ; oon as the plants come up the bed hould be ventilated if the weather onditions are favorable. teven when he temperature is near freezing in he early morning, it will be warm mough before mid-day to ventilat he bed for a few hours. If the rames are not properly ventilated, he plants will grow too tall and be orae lenntr ana will not withstand be transplatlng without being injurd. When a frame is properly contructed it will last for u number of ears. Each year, however, fresh nuiure will have to be placed in the rame. The same hotbed may be use I or various kinds of vegetables. For istance one may first grow cabhag nd cauliflower. After those are reloved or transplanted in the cold rame, tomatoes, egg plants and pep er seed may be sown In the same rame. These will be ample sire for ransplanting by the time the weathr conditions are favorable. Client are should be exercised in watering tie plants. If they are watered too reely during warm weather they will row too rapidly, and if watered too reely during excessively cold weatbr, they are llabel to be Injured. It I. therefore, recommended that the lants be watered just enough to keep Item in a good growing condition and ot allow them to suffer. Cold Frame.?The cold frame hould always accompany the hotbed tie plants first being started in til" othed and then transplanted to tb" old frame, and from there to the open round whenever the weather condilons will permit.
