Applying Manure Direct From tn
Barn.

Applying Manure Direct From the
Barn.
1t is my practice to get manure on to
the land to be fertilized as soon after it
is made as possible and at the least ex-
pense. Nothing is added to the heap by
decay or handling / try to clean up
the premises every week or two, except
during February, when the snow is
very deep, as do not believe in keep
ing barnyard manure corded up to heat
and become otherwise damaged. / do
not use manure shed. Ordinary rain
storms will not do any injury. A cover
ed pile, unless looked after very care
fully, will heat and deteriorate. The
rains will promote decay, which is a
benefit. Most of the barnyard manure
will be spread on sod land intended for
corn. If my plan of hauling out each
week is followed. the best results the
following year will be noted where the
first load was applied. Spread at once
and do not place In heaps.
On an ordinary farm / do not believe
there is any need of compost heap for

sprout. Manure from home grown feeds
does not ordinarily contain many weed
seeds. l do not believe, however, in a
compost heap for material other than
the manure from the barnyard. To this
add all refuse from the kitchen which
the farm animals will not eat-ashes,
tops Of vegetables, weeds and the like.
Cover the pile occasionally with dry
earth, which will prevent offensive
odors. Many CARLOAD of humus will
result from this heap, says a Canadian
correspondent of The American Agri-
cuIfurist

The common practice of selling the
best clover and grass seed and saving
the screenings for the farm cannot be
justified. The screenings contain many
weed seeds that should not under any
circumstances be sown. and the pure
seed is usually small, inferior and of
low vitality.

SMUT IN WHEAT.

Methods of Prevention Found SuC-
cessfuI at Ohio Experiment Station.
Loose smut is that noticeable at bios
soming time which destroys usually the
entire head. Sinking smut converts
the kernels of wheat into masses of dark
brown, Ill smelling fungus spores. The
Ohio station has been successful in pre-
venting both of these smuts and recon-
mends the following methods:
In all the methods employed for
shrinking smut it is probably advisable
to immense the grain first In cold wa
ter, with stirring, and to skim off the
smut balls which will in this manner
rise to the top of the water. After this
is completed either Of the following
treatments may be employed:
Hot Water.-Immerse this SKINNED
seed, contained in gunny bag or suita-
BILE wire mesh vessel, for ten minutes
in hot water at temperature of 1873 de-
grees F. Then dry on smut free surface,
cooling quickly by thoroughly stirring,
or cold water may be employed to cool
the grain. Remember, these tempera-
lures are to be determined by Their
mometer. Longer immersion than ten
minutes at that temperature may injure
the grain.
Bluestone, Copper Sulphate. Make a
solution at the rate Of one pound to five
gallons of water. In this solution i'm
merse the seed wheat, freed from the
smut balls as before described, for ten
minutes. Allow to stand ten minutes in
sack to drain, then spread and dry with
air slaked lime, shoveling over fire.
quently.
Or, by sprinkling, use the above solu-
ton at the rate of one gallon to one
bushel Of grain in heap. Apply by
sprinkling can at intervals of five Or
ten minutes. Stir the whole so as to be
uniformly wet At the end, say, of one
hour, shovel over and dry with lime,
if desired.
Formalin.-This may be used at the
rate of one pound to 90 gallons Of water
and the seed treated by sprinkling or by
immersion for 30 minutes
For loose smut Of wheat a modified
hot water treatment is as follows: Soak
the seed grain for four hours in cold
water, let stand four hours more in the
wet sacks Then immense for five min
utes in hot water at a temperature of
1873 degrees f. Spread at once on a
smut free surface to dry, and SOW. Use
one-half more seed to replace that in
jured by the treatment.
