Farmyard Manure.

There is actually more available
plant food in hundred pounds of
corn fertilizer than there is In ton
of manure. A large part Of the value
of the manure of an animal is in the
liquid manure in the farm of area,
substance containing nitrogen, and
which by fermentation changes into
ammonia, and is lost, or may be, if
no precautions are taken. This being
true the safest way would seem to be
to get the manure. both solid and
liquid, into the soil before ferment-
alton takes place. This may be ac-
complished by drawing and spreading
the manure as fast as it accumulates,
whether in summer or winter. In
many places this is practiced, but
the deep SHOWS of New Hampshire
winter prevent this generally it is
also true that on steep hillsides the
plant food would be washed away to
a certain extent, but on level land of
moderate slope / should never hest
tate to spread manure at any time
when | could conveniently draw it to
the field whether in the fall, winter,
spring or summer. 1t is sometimes
urged that manure loses nitrogen by
exposure to wind and snow, but if
manure is drawn out before ferment-
alton commences there is little or no
am monia in it, and as the nitogen
of manure, to be volatile, must be in
the form of ammonia, the loss from
this source must be very small indeed
manure spread on the surface in sum-
mer or early fall should be narrowed
in, for the reason that if left on the
surface it dries in hard Jumps and is
hard to break up and mix with the
soil. Manure applied in the late fall
before or after the freezing of the
soil, is probably in the best position
possible, and | am satisfied not only
from general observation and the ex-
perience of the most observing farm
ers, but from experiments in which
the exact weight of products has been
determined, that if all the farmyard
manure could be applied in Novem-
Der instead of April that the average
yield would be increased by more
than ten per cent from this change
alone. Exchange.

Using Manure.

The process of compositing does
not add single element of fertility
to raw stable manure. 1t relieves it
of part of tsgreat volume and weight,
renders it more convenient of hand
ling and application, and makes it
quicker in action, but it also surely
depriyes it of portion of its elements
of plant food, not only through the
escape of ammonia, but also through
the teaching and washings away of
some of its mineral constituents.
The gardener who desires to see
quick results. but is afraid of the
living weed seeds and injurious bac-
terra so often found in raw manure,
has no other alternative but to COM
post it, and to take the risk of loss.
The farmer, on the other hand. has
no need of hesitating to apply it at
once to his fields or meadows, or even
orchards. He has little or nothing
to gain by composing, but much to
lose. The best and most advanced
farmers now take the raw manure to
the fields about as fast as made, and
consider it the most advantageous
method generally.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1889-05-20
Why could not My Neighbor have
Helped Me?

DR.. E. Chenery, in writing on AL
cohol related the following incident
to illustrate its awful power:
San acquaintance of mine,-a man
of intelligence, proud spirit, great
will-power, and great business capac-
ity-was afflicted with this demon.
He was good citizen, radical pro-
hibitionist. After a certain defeat of
a prohibitory movement in which he
was interested, he cried like child,
and said: why could not my neigh
bors have helped me put this thing
beyond my reach? | am all right
when l cannot get it; but there are
spells which come over me / cannot
control they are stronger than my
self, and if the thing is where / can
get it | am cursed.
''He experienced religion and be-
came humble and happy as child,
and active in promoting the cause of
the church. But on one occasion,
when he was feeling i'll, his wife, I'M
guardedly, gave him drink of weak
cider. 1t reused the lion in him. He
told her that she had done wrong,
and by no means to give him any
more. The fiend in him was pitted
against the mans whole better nature.
He begged for the cider for stronger
drink. When lucid intervals came he
asked if they had given him any, and
thanked them that they had not. He
charged them not to give him a drop,
whatever he might do or say, and if
he must die, let him die sober man.
Then the appetite would rage, and
most piteous begging, crying and
pleading for the drink succeed. His
neighbors and church friends came to
his relief and watched with him, held
him, prayed for him, and joined all
they knew to help him out; after a
weeks struggle, night and day, final
calm came. Never was there hap
pier man, nor one more thankful than
he that he had gained the victory. |
shudder when / think Of the struggle
of this sstrong man in his agony and
it puts meaning to those tears when
he said: My neighbors know my
weakness, and why did they not help
put the thing beyond my reach. -

Care of the Cow.

First it is necessary that the COW
should have enough to eat. Farmers
who do not feed grain and those who
do not have the best of pastures,
must substitute something or suffer
a great loss by shrinkage of milk.
Cow fodder is good as long as it lasts
if cut when the dew is dried off and
fed in clean managers, for if placed
when wet in dirty hangers it is not
relished so we'll. 1t is very import
ant also, to keep the cows free and
quiet from excitement, either in driv-
ing or milking. Never let your cows
be hurried to and from the pastures.
One of the worst things farmer can
do is to allow dog to drive cows,
for as all know they are fretted all of
the time when so driven. l think 1T
is nearly equal to shortage of feed.
Cows should never be driven out of a
walk, and if possible give them lit
tie time for that. Be regular in your
milking, dividing night and day equal
ly and you will profit by so doing.
