At this season of vear the wise housekecper is asking herself and other housekeeners °this question: “How much shall T can this year to feed my and yet not have many cans left over? The following is an approximate answer to the question, prepared by Miss Maud E. Haves, home demon- stration specialist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural college at Storr: Canned ‘goods -are used during at least seven months of the year.,(about 200 days) so that ample provision to cover these months should be made. The varieties canned will depend upon the family taste, the garden supply, the season and 4he cost. Tomatoes and corn are perhaps the seful vegetables because of the of ways in which they may served. Greens are very valuable - mineral salts and should be pro- vided in liberal amounts. AIll kipds of Derries canned without sugar or amount. will be very use- puddines, et Tf the family raises pouliry the canning of cockerels or “slacker” hens_will add much to thé meat supply and it a to have on hand soups.

It is an approximate estimate for a- family’ of five, two adults and .three, children and calls for use of canned| goods seven months or about two hun- | dred days. “Vegetables such as corn, tomatoes,. greens, month 20-25 quarts, total quarts. : Fruits, per month, 15-20 quarts, to- tal 105-140 qparts.

The total amounts to.50 tg 66 ‘qlu.rts’ a month or 350 to 462 quarts. FERTILIZER VALUES. The values of manures from stocks is about in this order: .Poultry ma- nure ranks highest in fertilizing value, which is-foliowed by sheep, pig, horse and cow manure. Humus acts as a sponge in the soil and absorbs toxic poisons which ‘are given off by the plant roots. How-| ever this may be, the farmer must add humus to his soll. - To make the matter clear to those who do not understand what humus is, it might be well to state that humus is the dark-colored mold left atter or- ganic matter or vegetable matter has decayed. Then, in the light of this explana- tion, farmers will understand that any organic matter turned under and allowed to decay will form humus. Barnyard manure, straw, stalks, etc., the plowing underof green growing crops, such as tlover. cowpeas, rye OF any other crop used generally for green manuring will add humus to the soil. Constant feeding the soil with con- mercialize fertilizers gradually sours the land. Some vegetable manures even haye a tendency to sour the soil quickly. gNever use such manure in a green. state where you wish to plant beets and like-matured plants. Pota: toes would enjoy such a condition. That is one of the|reasons potatoes often do so well on|new land. There are two methods of manur- ing, one spreading it on the surface, and the other ulowing or digging it in. As the result of long experience it is found that much better results are achieved by surface manuring than by the .other method. In fruit trees, espeeially, this has been found to be the case. The top dressing should be applied as soon in the spring as the frost is gone, or, at least in time to get the benefit of the spring rains. which carry the fer- tilizing material a little way beneath the surface of the soil. Everyone should compost . every avaialable bit ‘of manure, build a rail pen in, the garden, and into this throw all the ashes and trash abolt the pace that will rot and betome fertilizer. Pour the wash water into it for it has some value. The pile will be ready to scatter over the gafr den in the spring. Rotation of crops will help you to improve the fertility of your soil and on the farms. Select the crops with reference to soil-building, market and animal requirements. It is not wise to plant crops that are not needed, but plants that willk-pay in money, animal products and soil fertility. CUT HAY EARLY.
