HANDLING LIQUID MANURE.
How 1t Is Done at the Ellerslie Stock
Farm-Another Plan Recommended.

How 1t Is Done at the Ellerslie Stock
Farm-Another Plan Recommended.
The Importance of saving every drop
Of liquid manure is generally conceded,
but how to handle it with profit re-
mains a question. Farmers who have
built tanks experience trouble because
the pumps clog with the thick sediment.
Fl. M. Cottrell, writing to Rural New
Yorker from the celebrated Ellerslie
stock farm, tells that he has had the
best experts in this line looking for
pump that will prove satisfactory for
more than two years, and they cannot
find one. Large steam pumps will do
the work, but they are too expensive.
He writes as follows: We absorb most
of the liquids. What is not absorbed
passes through thick bed of shavings,
and then through brass screen before
it runs into the cistern. We pump it
into the sprinkler with common brass
lined pump We use brass lined pump
because the other kinds soon rust and
then will not work We use Stude-
baker sprinkler for distributing the
LIQUID manure. This is the only kind
we could find that would not clog.
do not favor this method Of han
ding manure, and the arrangement
have just spoken of is the only thing in
our Ellerslie barn that is not satisfac-
tory. The pipes carrying the liquid
manure to the cistern are always getting
clogged, and it requires too much labor
to pump the manure out of the cistern.
The plan would recommend is this:
I would make the cutters behind the
COWS with very slight grade, not
over one inch in 100 feet run. would
then keep the cutters well filed with
good absorbent shavings, sawdust,
chaff or cut straw. Any of these will
absorb nearly the whole of the urine and
will retain it SO that the ammonia does
not escape and faint the air. Our cattle
are kept in the stable most of the time,
and we find it necessary to remove this
material from the cutters once week.
For the small amount of urine that will
not be absorbed in the cutters would
continue the cutters to the outside of
the barn and have it empty into a shall
low tank I would half fill this tank
with absorbents, and as fast as they
became saturated haul them to the field.
The gutter leading from the COWS to
the outside tank should have a hinged
cover SO that it may easily be cleaned
and washed.

was "a Larger Liberty for Women"
lie would have many innovations in the
relations between nun aud wife. lilo
believes tho latter should have more to
say about the finances of the household;
the womun should have some liberty in
the matter OF money. Instead OF hav-
inc the husband dole out each week
amounts necessary for his wiie's wants,
or giving to her what she asks for and
only. when she asks for it, the doctor
would have the husband leave with his
employer a certain portion OF his earn
ings. these to be ut tho disposal of the
wife. to BIO called for by her. Neither
would he have the woman apend all her
days in idleness, simply because she has
a husband who is able to suppor. her
in lndolencc and luxury. She should
work and bear an equa! burden OF the
expenses OF the home.
DR.. Colt believes that girls should ex.
ercise moro care than they do in tho
selection OF q husband. Now they en-
tered tho marriage state without any
ldea OF its responsibilities. They should
have the assistance and counsel OF their
parents In choosing u husband. 1t
