ABOUT HEN MANURE.


-
he Best Homs-Msds Fsefalissrs for sva.
riety Of Purposes. |
The trouble with . great many in
using hen manure is that they spread
it on too thickly and overdo the mat
ter entirely The best way find is
to throw mold or road dust on the
floor of the poultry house and thus get
q compost which is in good shape for
use, and at the same time prevent
the escape of nitroge in the shape of
carbonate of ammonia, which is moth
ing more than common hartshorn.
Hen manure is very rich in nitrogen.
the most volatile and at the same time
most costly of the elements of
plant food, and to save It We
must not only use something
to prevent the escape of the
exceedingly volatile carbonate or am
monia, but it must be kept where it
will not leach, to prevent the rain from
washingout the less volatile chloride,
sulphate or nitrate of ammonia. Hen
manure as fertilizer i the cheapest
one made on the farm, as there is alb
solutely no expense attached. A flock
of hens will not only pay for all their
feed and care, but they usually produce
enough to pay for themselves besides,
in the course of year, and the manure
is clear profit I have seen it esti-
mated that one hundred hens would
produce a ton of manure in a year, and
as this would be considerably less than
an ounce day each. think it mod
est estimate and believe if this were
properly used it will increase the crops
on farm enough so that the increase
will keep them in grain the year
through.
That each ton of hen manure con-
tains 67 pounds of nitrogen is sufficient
proof that it is the best homemade
fertilizer we have for the hill and drift
clay counties of Ohio. While the soils
of these counties contain generally a
sufficient amount of phosphoric acid
and potash, they are usually deficient
in nitrogen. 1t is estimated that a
crop of wheat removes from the soil 60
or 20 pounds of nitrogen per acre,
while an acre receives from the air
only II pounds per year. The differ
ence in the two amounts must be drawn
from the reserve supply in the soil or
furnished in the fertilizers applied to
the land. We have every reason to
believe that the first element to
be exhausted from the soil.
comparatively speaking, is nitro
gen, and if this is the case then
hen manure, which is rich in this ele-
ment while it contains a comparative
ly small amount of phosphoric acid and
potash, is even more valuable than the
phosphates made up largely of South
Carolina rock. But of this another
time. Practically 1 have found hen
manure to be of less value On potatoes
than barnyard manure and l do not
use it for this crop any more. For
wheat. clover, the grasses, corn and
vines, such as melon, pumpkin. ETC.. it
is excellent. and for nearly all kinds
of flowers it is the best thing / ever
used. l tried it one year on peas and
beans. but it did not do as much good
as adjacent rows fortified with hog
manure, but for all other garden crops,
including strawberries and rhubarb, it
has paid me better than forty dollars
phosphate. without counting the cost.

DESTRUCTIVE GRuBS.
Habits of an Insect Which Grows Fat on
the Roots of Plants.

Habits of an Insect Which,Grows Fat on
the Roots Of Plants.
In reply to a correspondent who sent
specimens of white grub said to be
injuring wheat DR.. j. A. Lintner
writes as follows: We suspect from
the method of locomotion mentioned,
that the insect may belong to the
genus Ligyrus:
l know of no way, without sacrificing
the crop, to arrest the present attack.
The grubs had been in the grass of the
meadow for the two previous years of
their existence. and in the breaking
up of the infested sod, they should
have been killed by the application of
gas lime; brought to the surface by re-
peated plowings. and exposed to their
natural enemies or starved to death
following. or removal by thorough
dragging off all that might serve them
for food. A crop of corn, following
immediately n grub-infested meadow,
is apt to prove an entire loss If after
heavy rains the grubs appear above
ground. poultry tarned in upon them
would largely reduce their numbers.
The method of locomotion of these
grubs referred to is an interesting
sight. In some experiments made
with the specimens sent, as soon rs
they uncurled from their natural posi-
tion at rest they rolled over upon
their backs. and in that position
travelled over the bl0tting-pad upon
shy table with the utmost ease, at he
rste Of. as by measurements made. fif-
teen inches per minute. Their three
pairs Of long and well-jointed legs
were extended above them and beat
ing the air. for If brought in use for
loeomotion. they would oaly have been
an ispediment to them. They. how
ever. serve the purpose for which they
are peculiarly designed in their sub
terranean travels, among the roots Of
the plants upon which they subsist--
