WHERE TO PUT THE FERTILIZER. 
A Long Island reader wishes to use a ton or 
more of fertilizer per acre on potatoes. His 
planter will drop only 1,400 pounds when 
wide open. When and how should he apply 
the rest of the ton? Would you broadcast 
the remainder of the fertilizer, and plow or 
harrow in, or would you scatter it along the 
rows at the first cultivation? 
I would advise the latter method of 
applying the remainder of 600 pounds 
per acre. The drill ought, however, to put 
on the wdiole amount at once, which if 
well mixed with the soil in furrow will 
probably produce as good results with less 
expense of application, l. h. hallock. 
Long Island. 
Many Long Island farmers broadcast 
and harrow’’ in. Personally I have always 
scattered the remainder of the fertilizer 
along the rows at the first cultivation, in¬ 
variably with good results, h. c. jessen. 
Long Island. 
ering wdth the cultivator, but the deep 
seed furrow leaves the ground in good 
condition for the application of the fertil¬ 
izer, and for killing tiny weeds before 
plants are up. An application of 1,200 
pounds per acre alongside the row at 
the first cultivation—delayed considerably 
by other work—gave as good results as I 
ever had, but it was immediately fol¬ 
lowed by a heavy shower. Its effects were 
plain three days later. G. a. parcell. 
Long Island. 
We have used this formula for pota¬ 
toes with good results, following with one 
crop of wheat and two of grass without 
further fertilizing. You will observe that 
we prefer to fertilize the ground rather 
than the crop. This is the formula per 
acre: 600 pounds acid phosphate; 400 
pounds hone; 400 pounds muriate of pot¬ 
ash ; 300 pounds nitrate of soda. Con¬ 
trary to general opinion, no deterioration 
in quality has been noticed from the use 
of muriate. With us the best results have 
been obtained by applying the fertilizer im¬ 
mediately after plowing, say about 1,200 
pounds, and harrow in; put the remain¬ 
der in the row. As for broadcast fertilizer 
drills, I have graduated from that school. 
With a view to bringing about a profitable 
discussion, I make the unqualified state¬ 
ment that no crop of potatoes that ever 
grew r can assimilate all the available plant 
food contained in a ton of good fertilizer. 
Then why put it all in the row to make 
the field full of streaks the next year?

GREAT DANE DOGS. 
1 he dog is probably indigenous to 
Germany’, where it has been known un¬ 
der the names of German Mastiff, Ulmer, 
and boarhound. His principal use in this 
country is as a guard for his owner and 
watch dog. In Germany he is used for 
companion and guard for foresters' and 
game-keepers, also for attacking the wild 
boar and other beasts. In H. W. Hunting¬ 
ton's book entitled, “The Show Dog,” the 
author says, in commenting upon the 
breed: “The commanding size and noble 
appearance of the Great Dane, as w’ell as 
his good disposition, will when he is bet¬ 
ter known to our fanciers, assume the po¬ 
sition he properly should occupy in the 
kennel world; viz., at the very head of 
the large breeds.” These are my views 
exactly, arrived at after a thorough trial 
in breeding and handling most of the large 
breeds. h. a. dalpymple.

wins out in the long run.” “Not alw’ays;
