Composing Manure in Winter.


A good deal will be gained If the
winter-made manure is piled in heaps
and subjected to partial fermentation.
SO as to make it's fertility soluble. 1t Is
fact that cannot be too frequently
remembered that fresh animal excre-
ment is never Immediately beneficial to
the plants to which it is applied. we
see this in the killing of heritage in
pastures where animals have voided
their excrement while pasturing. The
following year surrounding this excre-
ment will be found a rank growth OF
grass, which will generally be left UNI
eaten, because smelling and tasting
too much of the partly -dec0mposed ma
nure. But let this same excremcnt be
composted to a fine powder. and it will
enrich several square feet, and the
grass will be of better quality for it.
The composted manure has all the
ammonia that the fresh eXcrement had.
and in available form for use. This is
especially true II either gypsum or Ger
man potash salts are put Oh the heap
TO absorb the ammonia Most stable
manure is deficient in potash. The
German potash salts, known to the
trade as kainit, is the best thing TO
apply to the compost heap. 1t Is not
caustic. like wood ashes, and therefore
will not hasten decomposition. Neither
will the kainit delay 1t. The ammonia
| of the fermenting manure and the pot
ash will unite. forming nitrate OF am
monia or saltpetre, which is one OF
the most powerful fertilizers known.
1t is very soluble. and all compost heaps
should be kept from exposure to rains.
which will speedily leach out their
most valuable properties.-Am Guilt

A writer in Popular Science News
says: "The mistletoe grows most COM
mcnly in the apple tree" This is quite
correct, but the English CD mistletoe
that comes to this country in such
quantities for Christmas comes from
Normandy and other sections of north
ern France, and grows almost exclu-
sively on the black poplar, the princi-
pal roadside tree on the military roads
of France. These trees yield large
revenue to the commune; about two
thirds of the limbs are cut close to
the trunk, once in six years. tied in
small punches. say four inches in dl-
ameter. and sold as fagots, and is the
wood mostly used by bakers. From
these limbs the mistletoe is taken about
the Goth of November and. shipped in
crates to England, and from thence to
this country as English mistletoe

Negro Farmers.

A great many of the negroes in the
South. who, thirty odd years ago, were
slaves. have prospered since they be-
came free men. Probably their greatest
success has been in farming, to which
most OF them were accustomed in their
days of slavery. There are 549,642 farms
owned or occupied by negroes, and OF
the 1929. 56l who work at farming,
51O.6l9 are Independent farmers and
employers of others. 1t is not likely
that the Southern negroes will ever
become largely engaged in manufac-
lures transportation or commerce,
though there is better field for them
in the South and less prejudice in a
business way than there is at the North.
The Southern white man objects only
to ASSOCIATE ton with the negro socially
but in business matters he treats the
colored man just as he would any other.

Another poin; OF difference between
forest and nut trees is this: in the case
of the nut trees, according as You gath
er the fruit YOU remove from the soil
just such clements as are contained in
the fruit And it so happens in the
economy OF nature that the tree viii
store llp more of the mineral elements
which are assimilate ed in the fruit than
ii does in any other of its parts. And in
removing the fruit You really deterior-
ate your soil Hence you must put your
nut trees upon strong soil, and if you
want me best nuts YOU must follow the
line of orcharding.
In the case of a forest you plant your
forest upon the poorest soil soil which
you cannot use for agricultural pur-
poses-and you depend upon the forest
itself to enrich that soil. Here again
is a YER. great contrast between the
two classes of trees. You depend upon
the forest to enrich the soil Why?
Because the min. raj elements and the
| carbon and oxygen which the forest
tree takes are secured from the atmos-
phere, and it transforms those clements,
assimilates them, and puts them into an
organic condition. With each recur-
| ring autumn the forest drops its leaves
and these lie Oh the ground beneath the
tree. in time they decay and make a
| rich mauui e-humus, we call 1t, Or
| dinarly. So your forest really enrich
! es the soil, while your nut tree I'M
| poverishes it. This, then, is the second
! contrast between those two classes OF
| trecs.--Chas. A. ketlner.
