FAEMEBS SHOULD MIX THEIR OWN
FEBTILIZEHS.
fit. J. Fedina: Dlrec or '-co-gla Vxp rlracnt
fetation, in At autiCOubUtution.J
At tlrs se-is n of the yer farmers
are besrinninsr to think "about the
.
oommercitl fertilizers they will buy.
Already I have received many in
rmiries for the 4'best fertilizers' for
-a
corn, cotton, oitt potatoes, etc
Some of the inquiries evidently ex
pect to buy the readr-mixed guanos,
as they have been ao3U3t"med to do
in the past. They want to know
which brand of guano is the best and
cheapest for certain crops and soils.
They do not oare to undertake the
small amount of labor required to
mix the several ingredients that en
ter into the composition or a
'guano,' or, not knowing in what
proportions these ingredients should
be mixed for a particular crop or a
particular s il, they prefer to leave
it to the manufacturer, or mixer of
fertilizers.
This wouM be very well if there
were no source of information open
to these inquirers whence they my
learn proper proportions of ingredi
ents that would be necessary in or
der to produce the proper propor
tions of the elements of value phos
phoric acifl, potash and nitrogen
and at the same time if the manufac
turers would mix the ingredients so
as to meet the demand and do it at
little more than it would cost the
farmer to do it.
NO WAR ON MANUFACTURERS.
I do not propose at this late day to
wage a warfare on honest and capa
ble manufacturers of fertilizers who
sell their good at a fair and reason
able profit. There are many of them
that are both capable and honest.
Indeed, I do not know of any that
are otherwise. Bit I do insist, as I
have done for more than twenty
years, that an intelligent farmer,
with the proper information before
him as to the requirements of his
soil, or the average Boils of his sec
lion, can generally not only mix a
better fertilizer for his own purposes,
tut at a saving of $2, 13 and some
times $5 on the ton, as oompared
with the ct st of the ready mixed ar
tide. E?en if he can save only $1
on the ton, certainly that $1 is worth
as much as any other dollar, and
ought to b saved.
DO FARMERS BUY BREAD?
There are many psople whose
cooks cannot make good bread, and
must buy of the baker or eat poor
bread. But the baker must be paid
for his plant, his labor, his skill and
his losses, and must have a profit.
One might pay 5 cents for a pound
loaf of bread, when the same 5 cants,
"invested in flour, salt and a little
yeast, and a little skill, labor and
fuel employed in converting it into
bread, would result in a loat weigh
ing one and a half to two pounds.
This is a simple illustration, but it is
apt. If one knows what kind of
bread he wishes to eat he can either
buy the materials and make it him
self or get it ready-made of the baker.
So with the farmer. If he knows
what sort of a fertilizer he needs
what proportions of phosphoric acid,
potash and nitrogen it should con
tain and doe3 not care to spend a
rainy day or two in mixing it at
home, why, he may buy it ready
mixed of the manufacturer and pay
the latter for mixing it just as in
the case of the bread.
Only a day or two ago I received a
letter asking this question : "I am
offered a gumo acid phosphate,
guaranteed 12 ;er cent, availab'e,
and 2 per cent, potash, for $14 a
ton ; and a simple acid phosphate,
guaranteed 14 cer cent, available, at
$12 50 per ton. Which is the oheapfr
and which would give the best re
sults when mixed with cotton seed
meal? ' My reply was that phos
phoric acid and potash being worth
about the same per pound, it follows
that the p )tash-acid phosphae, with
a guarantee of 12-2 was worth jnst
the same as the simple acid phosphate
guaranteed to contain 14 per cent,
available. If the two go ds were
offered at the prices stated by the
same dealer or manufacturer, then
$100 Reward $100

that science has been ablo to cu re in all its
stages, and that i3 Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh

the latter either did not know his
business or there was a charge of
$1 50 per ton for simply mixing a
little muriate of potash with
simple acid phosphate so as to pro
duce a potash acid phosphate that
would carry available 12 and pot
ash 2.
EXPENSIVE MACHINERY.
It may be siid in explanation that
the guano manufacturer must have
very expensive maohinery in order
to make a perfeot, uniform mixture.
Grant the claim, and the reply is
that the" farmer does not need to
have any such expensive maohinery
to do his own mixing. All he needs
is a shovel and a hoe and a barn
floor, or a hard, smooth place on the
ground. The manufacturers goods
must be uniform, so as to stand in
spection. Every bag of it must be
approximately the same in chemical
composition as every other bag. Not
so with the farmer. His mixtures
are not subjeot to inspeotion, to in
spection fees and the expense of
saoktng. It matters little whether
every portion of a ton is exaotly like
every other portion. It is a small
matter if there be an occasional un
mixed lump (although this need not
be the case )
FORMULA FOR COTTON AND CORN.
A tarmer can mix 1,000 pounds of
acid pricspnate (14 per cent.), o
pounds of muriate of potash and 700
pounds of cotton meal in a few hours
at a oost of 25 cents for labor. The
materials would cost, probably,
$15.75, total $16 for the 1,775 pounds,
or 90 cents per hundred pounds, or
$18 per ton. The mixture wou'd
analyze about as follows : Available
phosphorio acid, 8 87 ; potash (Ka O ),
2 70; nitrogen, 2 70, equal to 14 27
units of plant food, a fairly high
grade guino.
It would be just the formula for
cotton on the average worn uplands
of middle and north Georgia and
similar soils in the adjoining States.
It oould be easily modified for fresh
soil-, or highly improved soils of the
same original character, or for dark
colorpd lowlands by reduoing the
amounts of muriate and cotton seed
meal by 25 to 50 per cent., or more,
if only light manuring is intended.
For sandy soils, especially in the
piney woods regions, the muriate
oould be increased by from 25 to 50
per cent , and in some cases the cot
ton meal might be increased.
To state the formula in tabular
form it would appear as follows :
No. 2 Formula for cotton on old
worn uplands :
Acid phosphate (14 per o't.) 1,000 lbs.
Muriate of potash 75 lbs.
(or kainit, 300 pounds).
Cotton meal 700 lbs.
Total 1,775 lbs.
For corn as follows :
No. 1 Formula for oorn on old
worn uplands :
Aoid phosphate (14 per o't) 1,000 lbs.
Muriate of potash 30 lbs.
(or kainit, 120 pounds)
Cjtton meal 1,250 lbs.
Total 2,280 lbs.
This formula would analyze about
as follows :
Available 7.50 per cent
Potash (K2 O) 1 48 per cant.
Nitrogen 3 83 per cent.
This would be in the same relative
proportion as available, 10 ; potash,
2 ; nitrogen, 5.
In a future artiole the above form
ulas will be repeated and others
adled with some other details that
would make this artiole too long if
included now.
DAIRYING PAYS.
The editor of the Riohmond, Va.,
Religious Herald reports a conversa
ti m with a noted manufacturer, Mr.
Anster, from which we take the fol
lowing :
"Now that you speak of cattle,
tell ma why we can't make the dairy
business pay in old Virginia? We feed
the Northern cities with early and
late vegetables, why should we buv
all our b?st butter from the North?"
Mr. Ansten: "That is a subject
to which I have given much thought.
Your Virginia and North Carolina
farmer can do it, if he will work at
it. Gilt-edge butter sells in New
York city the year round at from 50
cents to $1 per pound, while your
Virginia farmers are glad enough to
eet from 15 to 25 cents per pound.
Peop think it easy to make butter,
but it is the most difficult thing in
the world to make butter fit to eat,
and yet it can be done in old Vir
ginia. I spent a winter in Thomas
ville, Ga., where every pound of
butter and every pint of cream came
from the North. Instead of the
millions of dollars sent from the
South to buy dairy products from :
the North, we should supply our
selves and have a large surplus for j
the North." i

FOB THE COLORED A. & M. COLLEGE.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
On March 2 1st, 1903, there will be
a Farmers .Institute held at the A.
aLd M. College for the Colored Race
at Greensboro, N. C. The topics
that will be discussed are as follows :
Butter Making on the Farm, by P.
E. Robinson.
Tree Planting, by J. Van Lindley.
Commercial Fertilizars. by John
Thompson.
General disoussion of farm work,
by John A. Young.
Agricultural Eduoation, by J. R
Linoh.
Agricultural Maohinery, by O. W
Epps.
Inspeotion of farm maohinery,
illustrating farm maohinery, by J.
W. Landreth.
Motive Power on the Farm, by A.
Watson.
The various subjects will be dis
cursed in a practical manner so that
everv farmer who will attend can
hear something of value to him.
The meeting will begin at 11 o'clock
in the morning. The Agricultural
Department of the College has ar
ranged to supply free board and
lodging to visiting farmers on March
21st and 22ad.
We desire to have a large attend
ance, and trust that many fanner
will avi.il themselves of the oppor
tunity before active work on the
farm begins.

Wilson Times : The tobacco crop
this year will be some what increased
over last year, but not so muoh as
last year was an increase over 1900,
simply because there is not euffioient
labor in the country to handle it
While nearly every farmer feels that
tobacco will be high in price next
fall and would like to increase, yet
experience has taught him that it is
dimply throwing away money to
plant more than he has labor to
handle.
CONFORMATION 07 BEEF AND DAIRY
CATTLE.
The seleotion of cattle best suited
for their intendei use is of great im
portance to feeders and dairymen ;
and it is even more important to
breeders of either beef or dairy cattle.
For the purpose of presenting in a
simple and graphic way some infor
mation oonoerning the differences
between good and inferior animals
and the extent to which certain de
sirable qualities affeot their value
for beef and dairy utility, the United
States Department of Agriculture
has had prepared and will soon isun
Farmers' Bulletin No. 143 entitl d
Conformation of Beef and Dairy Cat
tle. It was prepared by Andrew M
Soule, Professor of Agriculture, and
ViooDireotor of the Tennessee Agri
oultural Experiment Station. Th
author has endeavored to define a
nearly as possible the ideals that
should be kept in view in pursuin
the business and to point out as far
as possible the relation of these
standards to 1he economic side of
animal industries. By diagrams,
descriptions, and suitable illustru
tions he has given the informatioi
necessary to enable the stock feeder,
the breeder, the farmer, or the dairy
man to become a competent judge ot
cattle by sight and touch.
Beef and diiry cattle are oonsid
ered together bf cause stronger con
trasts can be drawn and difference
can be shown more clearly.
The bulletin is for free distribu
tion and will bo sent to any addres
on application to Senators, Rpresen
tatives, and Delegates in Congref .
or to the Secretary of Agriculture.

Mount Airy News : The prices of
the necessaries of life are higher
than we have known them in fifteen
years, perhaps longer, and yet our
merchants no doubt make less than
when pricss were lower. The prices,
we are told, are bound to go still
higher before another crop is made.
Wages are advancing very little in
this part of the oountry.
Charlotte Observer : Distriot At
torney Holton did well to reject the
proposition made to him in Washing,
ton yesterday by the attorneys for
the Amos Ovven Cherry Tree Com
pany, that if the indictments against
them were dismissed they would
turn over for distribution among
their victims $ 30,000. This effer
wus made through attorneys who
would naturally have muoh influence
with Mr. Holton, and it is a pleasure
to see that he had the backbone to
refuse to consider. There are things
in this world whioh money cannot
atone for, and the crime of these
cherry tree fakirs is one of them.

the 11 whys and wherefores" the
principles of the "business" of
farming. It is written by a man of
reat ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
