Skim-milk as Fertilizer 
Could you tell me whether pasteurized 
skim-milk has any value as a fertilizer, 
and if it has. how mil eh ? We can get 
any amount here we desire. Would it pay 
to draw it a mile? j. a. a. 
An ordinary sample of skim-milk con¬ 
tains in one ton about 13 lbs. of nitrogen, 
5 lbs, phosphoric acid and 8*4 lbs. pot¬ 
ash. This is a little less, on the whole, 
than the plant food in one ton of good 
manure. The plant food in the skim- 
milk, however, is soluble, and will act at 
once. It. would be good for garden, flow¬ 
ers or for grass. This plant food value 
of skim-milk is less than its feeding 
value for hogs or calves, and it seems 
like a mistake to pour it on the ground. 
TRACTION SPRAYER 
The Best Kind of Crop Insurance 
Use the Eureka method to eliminate bugs, mold and blight. Have 
bigger crops, with less work and cost. The increased crop in one 
acre of sprayed rows is enough to pay for a Eureka Traction 
Sprayer and spray material. 
This is the easiest, most thorough, most economical way to spray. 
It saves time and labor in the hardest and most necessary job in 
raising potatoes, tomatoes, garden truck, cabbage, cucumbers, 
pickles, tobacco, beans, strawberries, celery, sugar beets, clover, 
alfalfa, etc. May be equipped for spraying orchards and bushes 
if desired. 
The Eureka has I, 2 or 3 nozzles to the row and 4, 6 or more 
rows per boom. Wheels adjustable to various width rows. Tank, 
pump and nozzles have strainers. Nozzles give fine or coarse 
sprays. Sprayers of 100-gallon size have 3-cylinder pump of 
200-pound pressure; 60-gallon size have double action pump of 
125-pound pressure.

This Is All You Need 
A simple little engine, to run an air 
compressor (easy and cheap to op¬ 
erate); an air pressure tank; a small 
pumping device that goes down 
into your well; some pipe and 
fittings-—and you have running 
water, “direct from the well,” for 
your farm.

lation, the Milwaukee Air Power Water 
System can’t be beat. If you want to add 
a lighting system later, the same power 
will run it.

Expert whose business it is to help the 
farmer figure out the best water system 
for his place and tell how much it will 
cost. He charges you nothing for this 
service. Write us and we will gladly 
send you his name.
