It has been well said that the male is

of a small flock of sheep, when of a

(Answered by H. B. Battle, Director, N. C.
j Experiment Station.) .
From the results of many experiments
the general statement is correct that
about 80 per cent, or four-fifths, of the
manurial value in the; original food can
be recovered from the manure if prop-,
erly taken care of. This does not mean
that four-fifths of the value of the food
stuff is utilized in this way; but refers
to the fertilizing ingredients originally
present. ; For example, if the food stulf
contains 15.00 worth of fertilizing in
gredients in it, then-$12.00. worth of
these ingredients can be saved. The
: food stuft' itself might be valued at S20
for feeding purposes. Of course, cows
and other animals need portions of the
food, but they need less of the fertili
zincr ingredients than they do of the
organic portions oi tne iooa ior m-

Ilere is a saying of 12K cents per day

cents, to lie used in increasing the farm

Losses of nitrogen occur very easily. :
Just at the point, where the excrement,
is voided, 25 to 00 per cent of it is re
turned to the atmosphere unless es
pecial care is taken to fix it by use of
dry fresh soif or large amounts of gyp
sum. No homoepathic doses can pre
vent the losses. Dry soil is best when
freelv used, because cheapest and more
likely to be used in quantity to accom
plish" the object. '
Suppose the loss to be 50 per cent, of
nitrogen 5 cents per milch cow per day.
This saved or even half-saved will pay
high wages to the man. in charge of a
her&who saves it by keeping a quan
tity of fresh soil or gypsuni on hand for
it. GvDSum has an eti'eet of its own on
soil and crops by adding lime where de- j
fieient, which can be a help toward re-,
turning its cost where used. f
This station has long used acid phos- !

the nitrogen. Ilalf a pound to three-

Hear Calves Only From the Best Cows.
Where a number of cows are milked
it will always be-notfeed-that some one
is the best of the lot as to the amount
of milk produced, or the length of prof
itable flow, or perhaps in production of
butter. 'A farmer can probably point
out the best cow in the herd, but if he
were asked to point out her decenants
among the young stock they might be
found few and far below in appearance
what might be-expected from the dam,
or grand-dam. ..Further inquiry might
bring out the- information that no male
was kept for service on the farm. Also
that no good sire could be procured, or
that it was too far, or the service fee
was too high where a desirable sire was
'uept. This is a short-sighted policy,
and one which the progressive . farmer
,will avoid. Don:t use the nearest scrub

" Value of Manure. , ' f
"In an agricultural paper some time ago I
saw .an article which strongly advocated the
feeding of bran to stock. The rriter of the pa
per stated that the valub of the manure alone
of the animals fed on bran was -worth almost
as much money as the value of the bran fed to
them. I write to ask you if this is correct and
shall take it as a favor if you will give me some
information of the subject. .
Bran at this point is worth a cent a pound.
Stable manure (fair quality) $1.00 per load.
Do you think that if I were to feed milk cows
as much bran as they will eat that their ma
nure will be, nearly worth what their feed cost
I cannot understand how this can be. For
instance, if I have a cow which is fairly well
fed and which Rives, say a couple of gallom-of
milk a day, I increase her feed giving Iter as
much bran as she will eat. Her manure of
Course will Increase in bulk and will also be
richer in fertilizing materials than before, hut
the flow of milk will also be larger. Part of
the bran has s?one to form milk, and part of it
lias passed off as manure. Do you think that
for 'rdinary usages is kainit.
(3) For ammonia, in our locality, cot
ton seed meal, considering also the
cost.
(4) The best proportions found prac
ticable as a general rule are: .
1,200 lbs. Acid Phosphate,
. COO " Cotton seed meal,
200 " : Kainit. .
(5) Acid phosphate seldom runs more
than 13; or 14 per cent, available phos
phoric acid. It should always be bought
upon a definite guarantee, as any per
centage can be made less than that
amount according to the grade of the
rock from which it is produced.
(6) It will depend entirely upon what
ingredients are used as to the percent
ages of the three ingredients, phos
phoric acid, potash,and atmnonia in the
mixture. If a high ammoniating ma
terial is used, of course a high percent
age can be procured; likewise the-same
of potash. The trucking: fertilizers
often run from (i to 7 per cent, availa
ble phosphoric acid, G to 7 per cent, of
ammonia, and 8 to 10 per cent, of potash.
These can be changed according to the
quantity of the 'dilLcrent ingredients
used. '; .-
(7) For average purposes - for cotton
and corn, the percentages given by the
above mixture aRe about right, namely
8.55 per. cent.; available phosphoric acid.
2.55 per cent, ammonia, l.CS per cent,
potash. '
(8) The proportions used by you,
namely:
200 lbs. Acid Phosphate. 13 per cent.
100 " Cotton seed meal.
50 " Kainit
are useful. The percentages given by j
the mixture would be i 8.14 per cent,
available, 2.42 ammoiiia, and 1-96 pot
ash. The proportions are so close .to
the above amounts that if you have
found the mixture useful I see no reason
to afivise a change.' I : send Bulletin
No. 95, in which you will find many
references to the composition of fertil
izing iugredients and their use in mixed
fertilizers. '

Tokay Grapes. ,
Will the Tckay srrape vine thrive in this
state? if it has not been a success, upon what
vine would you advise grafting it W. P. S..
Southern Pines, N. C.
(Answered by V. F. Massey, Horticulturist,
N. C. Experiment StatiouO
The Tokay grapes (white . and flame
colored) belong to Vitis Vinifera, none
of which have been perfectly successful
in the United Slates east of the Sierra
Nevada, except to some extent in Ari
zona and Xew Mexico.
The phylloxera insect destroys their
roots, and they are very subject to at
tacks of ' mil'dew. Our native grapes
being a "survival of the fittest,""" resist
the phylloxera. ' There is some hope
that now we understand the cause of
the failure of the Vinifera section of
grapes, we can overcome the difficulty
by grafting them on roots of our

and the case with which the stocks can
be raised in the south will probably be
a popular stock for pears in the future.
But that working; a pear on the Le
Conte stock makes it blight proof is all
nonsense. The Le Conte does seem
itself to be less liable to blight, but no
pear is exempt from it in this country,
though some blight worse than others.
The great vigor of the Le Conte stock
may make the trees grow, or-better able
to recover from an attack, b.;t it will
not give them immunity.
