THE COUNTRY POULTRY

was overlooked previously.
During May the laying hen
in this flock consisted of 347
old hens and 1022 last years
pullets. These birds averag
ed 18.6 eggs each for the
month. The eggs cost about
1214c per dozen for feed and
sold for an average of about
21.5 cena per dozen, a profit

We looked at the hag and
our doubts were justified. The
crop had reason for looking
well. The nitrogen in the
fertilizer was of a quick act
ing" sort, one that the greater
part of .which ' would soon be
used up. It contained 60 or
more percent of mineral or
quickly soluble nitrogen,- a
gainst 40 percent of organic
or slowly "available nfitrogenl
The organic nitrogen ; was all
derived fro m fish scrp
(which is all right) and frc i
tankage ' (about which t!.: re
is jome doubt); The que:
is "Will there be enough r.i
trogen coming available' later
on to-finish the crop.",There
is some doubt about It. .' ''
There are four idurljcfe of
potash. These " are manure
salts, muriate of . potash, : sul
phate of potash, and sulphate
of potash 'magnesia. The real
tobacco fertilizer should (have
its potash derived , half from
muriate and half from sul
phate or sulphate of potash

stances is the potash from ma
nure' salts desirable as it goes
to make a brittle, dry; leaf, the
sort that' is not demanded by
the buyers, The fertilizer ,a
bout' which we are speaking
had all of its potash from mag
nure salts, the least desirable
source of all for tobacco. J-

The lowest return above
feed cost was made by a flock
that also had. the lowest av
erage egg yield per bird. The
feed cost per bird 6 nd per
dozen eggs was not 4 greatly
different from that' of the
Woodys', being 13.3 cents per
bird ,'as compared with 13.7
for the Woody flock and 119
cents per dozen: eggs -as com
pared with 11.5 cents for the
Woody flock for ;eggs.u- The
egg yield per bird was decid
edly different being 13!9 for
the one against 19 per bird for
the other. Where's the differ
ence? In the chickens? In
the quality of. the feed ? In
the general care?
