FEEDING FOR RICH MANURE.

What the stock eats is of more conse-
quence as affecting the value of manure
than is the kind of stock to which it is
fed. In many places the manure pile is
also no iuconsiderable part of the far
mcrs' profit in feeding. Of late years,
with just enough exceptions to illustrate
the generality of the rule, the manure is
all the profit that tho feeder gets. 1t be-
make the manure pile rich. No subject
awakehs so much interest in the discus
sions at farmers institutes as how to feed
so as to make the richest fertilizer, and at
the same time make manure OF the best
quality. There are some common popu-
lar misapprehensions on this point, due
to confounding the feeding value of
various articles with their value passing
through the animal and going into the
manure heap. For feeding especially to-
fattenlng animals, corn is very valuable,
but owing to its deficiency in mineral and
albuminoid nutriments, it does not make
so rich manure as oats, peas, beans, or
even as wheat bran. In the tables show
ing the commercial value of various ele-
ments for manures, wheat bran is reckoned
at about $13 per ton, which is nearly its
selling price.
In feeding, especially to growing stock
and to cows giving milk, some of this
nutrient value will be used in the an
imal economy, but in either case it will
only do, so in the production of what is
of much more value than it could be as
manure. A certain amount of carbon
aceous food, corn for example, can be
protitAbly mixed with what bran as feed
for cows and young stock. 1t will make
richer milk and keep the cow in better
condition. A smaller amount Of corn
meal with bran will keep the young stock
in better condition, especially In cold
weather, and make them able 20 cat
more and assimilate more of the bran.
+ Glover hay is another very valuable
feed for making rich manure. 1t is the
farmers cheapest fertilizer, especially
when grown upon the farm where it is
fed. What it contains of starch and car
hon is mainly drawn from the air. Its
mineral elements come mainly from the
subsoil, where roots of other plants can
not reach them. There is good reason to
believe that the shade of a growing
clover crop, combined with the action of
the roots in the soil, helps to decompose,
iTunder certain circumstances, the air in
the soil, and make some of it's nitrogen
Rvailade as n plant food. Good clover
has in some seasons been grown on very
l,thip soil by the yuss of gypsum alone,
Eh1 greatest difficulty on such lands is
| to get catch. This secured and light
mineral dressing added, the clover will
do;thc rest While clover alone will not
restore. .miperal fertility to soils that lack
T, II, with little phosphate of lime, and
on sandy soils potash, it will do more to
maintain fertility than any other means,
especially il it is fed out upon the farm
where it is grown, as it always should be.

MULCH FOR PEACH rREE~.

The.peach tree needs a dry soil, and
so'woIl is this known that it is usually
planted on sandy or grsvelly land This
exposes it to one danger not often
thought of. This is the deep freezing
which often occurs on such soils when
not covered by snow. While the bulk
of the original forests remained, snow
was not drifted by winds, and lay evenly
over the surface: In those times peaches
Were grown in many places where they
have long since been abandoned. The
temperature of the air in winters is not
lower now than it used to be, and the
failure of peaches where they formerly
succeeded is probably due to deeper
freezing of the soil, destroying vitality
by depriving the tree of moisture. A
mulch applied late in fall. or early ip
winter around the trees would remedy
This evil. If put on after the ground is
frozen, it would also prevent too early
expansion of peach buds, and thus save
their destruction by late frosts in spring.

Heating food, like corn and rye meal,
will produce a cough in horse Rem
