The potash situation is of interest to many farmers. Many are undoubt- edly losing more potash by the meth- ods of handling their stable manures than they ever buy through the com- mercial fertilizers. Should a farmer buy five tons or mix up a grade of fertilizer which analyzes 6 to 8 per cent. potash, he would be buying 600 pounds of potash to put into his land. Supposing the same farmer had 12 cows besides the usual number of horses, hogs and other young stock and he cares for them as is commonly done. What will be lost in the’ way of potash? Each eow will excrete during a year about 10 tons of solids and four tons of liquids con- taining in every ton about 10 pounds of potash. Supposing 45 per cent. is lost in the pastures during the summer and of the remaining, 60 per cent. is saved—this means from 12 cows, 300 pounds of potash is lost. From: the Young stock, two or three horses and several hogs, another 200 pounds of potash is likely to be lost—thus nearly balancing that which is usually bought in the fertilizers. Thus, if our stock men will care for the home course of pétash found in the manure pile, to say nothing of the costly nitrogén that is being lost at the same time, there should be mno great cause of worry over potash this one season if it is impossible to get it this coming year. The best remedy is to use good absorbenis and _the manure-pit, applying the manure from time to time to the fields instead of allowing it to remain in piles. FERTILIZE THE LAWNS, Should be Done This Fall for Best Results, Applications of fertilizer and 1ime shouid be applied this fall on lawns if best results are to be obtained the coming season. Cottonseed meal, tank- age, dried blood and ground bone can be used at the rate of from four fifths per square rod with satisfactory re- sults. The above materials being of organic nature more time must be al- lowed than when the chemicals are used. The latter can be used next spring safely. Many will undoubtedly cover their lawns with rotted stable manure, but 2 greater risk is run due to the pres- ence of many weed seeds which have not been killed during the rotting pro- cess. Many lawns are seriously injured by the introduction of many weed seeds which gradually spread throughout the lawn area. Applications of ground lime or air-slaked lime should be also applied at the rate of five eigthy per square rod. AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS No Great Cause for Worry Over the of the year. seem advisable to seed the rye now, but where early plowing is likely to take place, rve will not make sufficlent growth to pay for the expense of seed- ing and the cost of seed. ‘Where plowing is not to take place until along the latter part of May sufficient growth will have taken place to warrant seeding at this time of the year. GRAIN FEED. Poor Policy to Curtail It if Flow of Milk ‘is to Be Maintained. Due to the high cost of grain feeds. many of the dairymen are lessening the amount of grain feed. Possibly this is a wise move, but curtailing the amount of grain to practically noth- ing, especlally at this time of the year, is a poor policy. To get the flow of milk throughout the winter the cow must be fed well and in good condition before the cold season comes on. It is a difficult prop- osition to regain the full amount after a falling off has taken place. The condition of the stock on many farms, due to the short pasture feeds, is poor. Thus enless extra care is glv- en during the coming months the prof- its, if any, will be much smailer. It will be better to feed well and fewer in number rather than half feed a large number, DANGER OF GRAZING. Stock Should Not Be "Llft Out Later Than Fall. Acres and acres of good meadow land are going to be treated this fall in such a way as to shorten the life and lessen the annual yield very ma- terially. This treatment . is . grazing until late in the season. Care should be taken, especially ‘of these fields which have recently been seeded, to prevent stock from eating the fall growth to such an extent that no covering will be left as a surface mulch to cover the roots. Grazing closely will hasten the running out of the’timothy thus causing a large loss. It will be more economical to feed the stock In the barn. Do not graze later than the fall. BEE BUSINESS BAD. Connecticut bee-keepers have just completed gathering the 191¢ honey crop. _According to the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture, the vield per_colony of bees was 28 pounds. In 1913 the production per hive was 35 pounds. The decrease is said to be due to the shortage of the wild flower crop this season. A The latest census figures of the beo SEEDING RYE.

This ‘man travels from one farm to another (there being 26 working days in a month) does all the bookkeeping himself, weighs both the grain and milk and also helps the farmer on feeding and .care questions, etc. - Associations already established have shown very interesting facts. Neariy all herds so tested have bene- fited by eliminating the poorer cows. Many heards increased their average production through the use of differ- ent methods, very materially, showing that even the good herds..can be im- proved upon. One herd in Vermont is especially interesting for in the see- ond year the herd with only 18 cows in it produced within 1050 pounds of milk as it did the vear before vwith,24 cows. By raising the calves from. the best cows ‘a higher producing strain was brought about. It is the common plea with tire far- mers that when they milk the .cows they come pretty near kunowinzg wg:t they produce.” While it is a fact t they know more about them than-oth- ers yet records show and figures niever lie, that they are generally mistaken in their estimates. Moreover in many cases. the cows do hetter than they think as well as doing poorer. The average cost per cow for doing this work is generally for $1 to $1.50 but also reccrds show that the aver- age gain for the herd the first.year is more than $3 per cow so it .proyes a good Investment in a very short time. The first part of November the county agents_expects to have a U. S. Department of Agriculture man hers in the county with him and hopes to get at least two of these associations started before another year. o A Message To Thin, « Weak, Scrawny. Folks An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 Ibs. of Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh Thin, nervous, undeveloped men 3id women everywhere are heard to say: “I can’t understand why I do not get fat. I eat plenty of good, nourishing food.’ The reason 1s just this: You cannot get at, no matter how much you_eat, un- less your digestive organs similate the fat-making elements of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste. What is needed {s a means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues, and build them up. The thin persom's body is like a dry er and nj for the fatty materials of which'it is being deprived by the fail- ure of the alimentary camal to take them from the food The best way b overcome this sinful waste of flesh- bullding_eloments and to’ stop the leais- age of fats is ‘to use Sargol, the re- cently discovered regenerative _force that ls recommended 50 bighly by phys sicians here and abroad. e a litt! Sargol tablet with every meal and n . tice how quickly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are de- osited over vour body, covering each Bony “angle and projecting point. Les & Osgood and other good druggists have Sargol, or can get it from thelr wholesaler, and will refund your money if you are hot satisfied with the gainin welght it produces as stated on the guarantee in each package. It Is in- expensive, easy to take and highly ef: ficient. - Cautiop:—While Sargol has produced remarkable results in overcoming. ner- vous dyspepsia, and general stomach troubles, it should not be taken unless 2
