The Great Crop of the Season.


Weeds are the great crop of the
season. Every farmer should know
all the weeds on his farm, and their
manner of growth, whether they are
annual or last more than one year.
lie harvests his grain before it is
ripe, knowing that the process of
maturity will go on, but he often
does not think that many weeds, if
cut soon after they have lowered,
will ripen their seeds as well as if
high on the ground, and these weeds
if thrown on the manure heap or in
to the pig-sty, will afford an abun-
dant supply of weeds to continue
the trouble. Keep sharp eye for
any new or strange weed that APP
pears on the farm. If need be, ex-
ira exertions may be made to pre-
vent it from spreading. The safest
way to dispose of weeds is to burn
them. Make a small fire of any
wood, throw on the weeds a few at
a time. 1t is astonishing what an
amount of green stuff can be burned
in this way, and quite quantity of
ashes will be left which should be
spread. They will benefit any crop.

Value Of Barn Yard Manure.

No exact figures can be given to ex-
press the actual value of what is called
farm ward manure. The three valuable
Observation-Disclosures, potash and
phosphoric acid--vary widely in differ
ent analyses. owing to the kind and
condition of the animals producing it,
their food and the proportion and kind
of litter with which 1t is mixed up.
Again there is the difference between
fresh, and partly rotted and thoroughly
rotted manure, and its value is further
increased or diminished by the manner
in which it has been preserved. The
following amounts are variously given
by different authorities as contained in
ton of ordinary farm yard manure:
Nitrogen, from nine to thirteen pounds
potash, from ten to twelve, and phos-
phoric acid, from six to nine pounds.
A very important consideration in the
use of mixed manures of this descrlpt-
ion rs their influence on the texture
and general character of the soil to
which they are applied. While undar-
going decomposition they may also aid
in changing some of the mineral con-
stituents Of the soil into soluble forms.
