Study the Bird For Poultry Success

• can be realized from die poultry flock if du make a more thorough study of the birds that mak< This is the thought that Professor Willard C J of the poultry department of the New Jeraey Stair ultuie. expressed at a meeting of the Vinelanfl i Wednesday night of last week. The poultrymai know the production of his birds year by year ii ’ • flock average, but must know his pullet flod t into production. The head of th* New Jerse' mt advocated complete records in building up / flock. There is a marked correlation between th- . the date that the first eggs are produced, and du r birds during the pullet year. Jn order to breed up intelligently it is necessary that the poultryman mat ‘y of all these facts. ; the Egg Laying Contests are very valuable as f assisting the poultryman to get trap-nest records of his breeders, every poul'ryman should be a complete record of the production on the pullet Hen flocks at home.

Lime and Potash Necessary For Clovers

tests were conducted at the State Experiment Statio results of which should be very interesting to any farma practice of sowing clover seed. The tests indicate tha '■ally a waste of money, time and effort* to sow dove 1 that needs lime and potash. In the tests conducted dur Hast year, dover failed to grow- when sown in trial plo: tmical tests showed the need of lime. Timothy and dove yielded about 1736 pounds to the acre, on soil that wa t oat fertilized with potash. Addition of potash to othr l brought a yield of 3105 pounds of hay to the acre. It * cutting, on the lime plot without potash 300 pounds c c race was obtained, and on the limed and potash treatr v0 pounds. fitperiment Sution explains that lime is needed to counter •ads. as dover can neither germinate well nor grow i soil. Clover absorbs Hrge quantities oi potash and if Larr E removed the soil is soon exhausted of the available potash i have shown that 25 to 50 pounds of muriate of potar e usually meet the requirements of dover. Sometime A pounds may be needed. , , 1 dover has the ability to obtain its nitrogen from the ai he add of bacteria, it is not necessary to use nitrogen fer , it, where the soil has been properly mnoculated. Many of these same considerations apply equally as BmH to alfalfa and sweet dwer, for example dover re- , ,&ut ninety poun* 0 > lime «** lcre ' whcrc “ ,1 ‘ &6Jfa removes about 212 pounds. *
