Here is Henry FDrd's world-wide gift to civilization, which 

 has won the all-England championsliip prize at the demon- 

 stration given at Lincolnshire, England, May 9, 1918. It is 

 one of the principal factors in winning this great war in 

 helping in the production of food. Every farmer should own 

 one of these machines.

Figuring the manukial value of 

 FEEDS. — Calculating the manurial value 

 of these feeds at the present high prices 

 of fertilizers (nitrate of soda 5 cents a 

 pound, acid phosphate 1.2 cents a pound, 

 and muriate of potash 25 cents a pound) 

 corn would have a manurial value of 

 $13.90 per ton; oats, $17.80 per ton; 

 bran, $33.23 per ton ; oil meal, $48.63 per 

 ton; cottonseed meal, $56.95 per ton; 

 clover hay, $26.02 per ton and alfalfa 

 hay $32.76 per ton. 



Manure should be carefully saved.- 

 One must remember that not all the fer- 

 tilizing constituents in a feed are re- 

 covered in the manure. Averaging the 

 results obtained at the Ohio Experiment 

 Station and those reported in Henry & 

 Morrison's "Feeds and Feeding," we find 

 that approximately 75 percent of the 

 nitrogen, 80 percent of the phosphoric 

 acid, 80 percent of the potash in a feed 

 consumed by a dairy cow are recovered 

 in the manure. — Ohio Exp. Station. 



makes the following statement regarding 

 ;eed potatoes: "In our experience seed 

 grown in northern Maine has invariably 

 been found superior to our own produc- 

 tion, even in the first generation. The 

 Maine seed gives the larger yield and the 

 :rop is somewhat earlier. It usually 

 costs more than home-grown seed, but it 

 is richly worth the price."
