When \ plowing the drag follows the plow ms day. thus nishing and compact- ing the coil. and conservlnz lhoieture. when the plowing is done the roller and hsrrow are started audkept going ing. We have our seed bed as firm as possible. with sufficient mellow earth on top to drill nicely. We use 200 pounds of fertilizer to theaore, for without this our yield would not be more than half what it usually is. Our gfertilisers are home-mixed. We use a complete fertilizer containing about 11 per cent of available phosphoric acid, 2 1-2 per cent of ammonia and 1 per cent of potash. We have not found that potash gives us very profitable returns on our limestone. red-clay,soil. The phosphoric acid we get from acid phosphate, as it is the cheapest source. We get a. phosphate that contains from 16 to 17 per cent of available phosphor- ic acid for about 814 per ton. The sm- 'monia we get from tunkoge or cotton- seed meal. ` The cost of this ranges` from $144 to 817 per ton. We use un- ' leached wood ashes as` a. source of pot- ash when we can get them, otherwise fertilizer we ut in about 1,200 pounds of acid phosp ate; 700 pounds of tanlr- ` as or cottonseed meal and 100 pounds i of potash. This mixture costs us from. ' 01414 to 016 per. ton. and if the some grade oi fertilizer were purchased, in the regular way from the local dealer. it would cost from $24 to 826 per ten. 1 thus save about a dollar pe`r"aee by V using a home-mixed fertilizer." hen _ I have the satisfaction of knowing that W I am gettingend using just such ele- ments ofpiant food as I'deslr. or that i ' I think my soiland crop demands.
