FRENCN METHOD OF KEEPING MANURE
ture, and thus retards fermentation
French authorities maintain that the
principal precautions necessary to pre-
vent losses of ammonia consist simply
IN regularly and properly watering the
manure with the teachings. In case of
drought. if the teachings are insufficient,
the lack should be made up with water
The need Of keeping manure moist is
especially marked i'll case Of horse ma.
nure, which is naturally dry and decom.
poses with great rapidity. The same is
true in q less degree of sheep manure
The common and harmful fire fang
ing" is the result of an insufficient sup.
ply of water and may be readily checked
by sprinkling The sprinkling, how
ever, should be regularly done and tho
heap kept in a constant state of mois.
ture; otherwise tho alternate wetting and
drying will result in a loss of ammonia.
Preservation of manure in this manner
is generally practiced in Europe, and
the product obtained is highly esteemed
as fertilizer. 1t is very dark colored,
Or even black, and acquires highly
offensive odor, while the straw in it
loses its consistency and becomes soft
and inooherent.
This black substance is held by GER
tain French agriculturists to possess
special value as plant food. A method
employed in the preparation Of this well
rotted manure in France is as follows:
The manure is placed OH slightly in
clined plats Of packed earth or cement,
SO arranged that the teachings drain out
into pit from which they are pumped
up and distributed over the manure
heap 1t is usual to provide two manure
plats SO arranged that when one is full
| twhen the manure is eight to ten feet
high) it may be allowed to ferment un-
disturbed while the other is used. The
manure is carried from the stables to
the top Of the manure heap in wheelbar-
rows over an inclined plane of boards
Care is also taken to smooth down the
sides of the heap to prevent tho too free
access of air and the loss of teachings.
1t has been questioned whether the
construction of expensive cisterns for
collecting the manure teachings repays
the cost, but it is obviously desirable
from what has been said regarding the
value Of the liquid manure and the de-
STABILITY of promoting regular and uni
form fermentation of the manure that

Controlling Fermentation by Supplying
AIoisture-Tho French Method.
The decomposition of manure is tno,
Rs q rule, to the classes of fermcnts, the
active ferinent on the outside Of the
heap, or where the air circulates freely,
and the slow ferment in the interior of
the heap, or where the supply of air Is
limited. The regulation of the two
kinds of fermentation Is necessary to
tho successful rotting of manure. Ii the
heap is too loosely built, tho decomposi-
tion is too rapid. On the other hand, If
the manure is too firmly packed, the de-.
composition may be too slow, and the
manure will not become sufficiently dis
integrated to produce the best effect in
the soil.
A powerful means of controlling fer
inentation is tho supply of moisture The

Pumps For Irrigation.

There arc three distinct types Of
pumps-the plunger, or piston pump.
which includes the windmill, steam
pumps and many devices of power
pumps; the rotary and tho centrifugal.
The plunger pumps of necessity move
the water slowly, as the water only
travels at the speed of the piston. The
plunger pump also is designed especial
ly for handling clear water. Grit, sand
and foreign material cut the pistons and
barrel Of the pump, yet while these
pumps will move water slowly they will
move it long distance or against heavy
pressure when properly designed.
The pump Of next greatest capacity
IL the rotary pump OF these there are
many different designs. They handle
water much faster than plungcr pumps,
but as 1t is essential that the working
parts Of these pumps should fit closely
there is necessarily great friction and
corresponding loss of efficiency, and OF
necessity these pumps arc short lived,
and especially when pumping water
that is muddy or gritty.
The pumps of greatest capacity for
low lifts are the centrifugal pumps.
These pumps are built with no close fit-
ting parts-no valves--consequently nc

and are not affected by sand, mud OF

the lift does not exceed 80 feet. centrif.

FOUND THEIR BONES
Where the cayotes Had Eaten }
the Flesh.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, May s.
Francis Murphy, an American en-
gineer, returned to the city from
Mazatlan, Mexico, states he was a
member of the searching party
that left Durango about five weeks
ago, to find the whereabouts of
III. l.. Denton, C. p. Hall and Frank
Turnstall, Americans, and two
Mexican guides, who started from
Salto, state of Durango, on
prospecting and hunting
expedition into Sierra Madre
mountains. In ravine about so
miles from Salto the remains of
Denton and Hall were found lying
on their backs, partly devoured by
cayotes. Near by was discovered a
piece of paper on which was, scout
of provisions, no water. Have
struck out for the bottom of this
canyon" The remains were buried
with solemn ceremonies, and
mound of stones raised over
them. The searching party then
divided, and continued a hunt for
Turnstall and the Mexicans. One Of
them struck blind trail, leading
into a part of the mountains that
couldn't be travelled through, and
the searchers' own provisions and
water running low, were forced
to turn back. 1t is supposed all
the missing died of starvation.
A Mr.. Freeman from st. Louis, and
two New York gentlemen, an In
dian guide and several Mexicans
with the original party, became
separated and arrived back at
Salto, just before the relief party
started.
