WHEN TO APPLY MANURE.
Year Ago Mt the Ohio Experi-
ment Station.

A year ago the Ohio experiment sta
ton began comparative test between
cow manure, taken directly from the
stable to the field in the spring, and ma
nure of the same sort which had been
allowed to lie in the open yard during
the winter. The plan of the experiment
Is to apply both kinds of manure to
land intended for corn, pillow under at
a shallow depth, and follow the corn
with wheat and clover, without any
further manuring. Four duplicate
plots are treated with each kind of ma
nure, applied at the rate of eight tons
per acre, the treatment for each pair of
plots being exactly alike in all other
respects. The result thus far is that the
corn of 1897 gave an increase of 10 BUSH
els per acre from the yard manure
against 16 bushels from the stall ma
nure, and the wheat crop following has
given an increase of ten bushels per
acre for the yard manure against IL
bushels from the stall manure. Valu-
ing the corn at 33 cents and the wheat
at so cents per bushel and the straw
and stover at three dollars per tea, the
increase from the yard manure in the
two crops has amounted to SIS per acre
and that from the stall manure to SIT,
an average of two dollars per ton for
the manure, with further effect proba-
BILE on succeeding crops.

Stone Banking for Barns.

In banking up against the walls of
basement barns, and especially in build
ing up passageway to the entrance,
there is always strong temptation to
use stones piled in loosely as basis,
where stones are over plentiful on the
farm. Yet this usually proves a mis-
take. Rats will invariably effect a
lodgementamong such stones, and they
will in time work through into the barn
basement. Besides, rains will wash dirt
among the stones, and it will require
constant attention every year to keep
the passage way so that loaded wagons
can be driven over il.

COTTON SEED MEALS.
Practical Feeders Differ Greatly In
the Estimate of Their Value
an 81 stock Food.

Much has been said and written rela-
tive 10 the use Of cotton seed meal as
cattle food. Nearly all investigators
agree in giving it high value and urge
dairymen TO use this material not only
because it Is cheap source of protein
but because ii also has high manurial
value. Practical farmers differ greatly
in their estimates of cotton seed meal.
Some seem to use II very satisfactorily
for awhile and later conclude that the
feed is not well adapted for their pur-
poses. Occasionally a feeder observes
that the health Of the animals is at
fected by the feeding Of cotton seed too
freely. and IT sometimes happens that
even after animals have been fed for
months with apparent success that they
are injured by its continued use. Il
has also happened that cows fed upon
cotton seed meal do well for time and
that later the milk flow is diminished
without apparent cause. There are at
present no other concentrated feeding
stuffs which vary so much in compost
ton as cotton seed meals from different
sources and different mills. Within
three weeks the station has examined
samples varying from 90 per cent. to
over SO per cent Of protein.
This greater variation in different
lots of cotton seed meal may explain
the different estimates of different
practical feeders and of the same feed
ers at different times. If COW is fed
cotton seed meal containing Is per
cent. protein and is then fed an equal
weight of meal containing SO per cent.
1t Is evident that the amount OF pro-
tein which she receives will have been
doubled by the change. If she has been
fed up to her full capacity in the first
instance such an increase must result
disastrously. On the ether hand. chang
ing from cotton seed of high protein
content would diminish the milk fow
unless the amount of meal feed is COR
respondingly increased. Bulletin of
the Maine Agricultural Experiment.

CHAPTER vi.

Merriam's intention had been to go
direct to San Diego. Leaving the ladies
together, after a cold and embarrassed
acknowledgment of Mrs. McLane's
greeting and most unwilling presenta-
ton to my wife," he hurried into an
other car to be alone and collect his
thoughts. 1t was shutdown by this
time, and only shutdown. For hours
yet poor Florence might be at the
mercy of that merciless woman, who
Merriam now believed could be capable
of anything. The thought was unbear-
able. From the conductor he learned
that the McLanes were bound for Coro-
nado Beach, and that settled it. Has
tily writing a few lines he folded the
paper compactly and walked briskly
back to the Pullman. Both faces light
ed at his coming, Floy's with infinite
relief. Fanny's with laughing triumph.
'Not another moments leave, sir"
cried the latter, until you've explained
where you've been and promised never
again to abandon your beloved. Fancy
a man who would leave his bride within
an hour of their wedding to go and
smoke among strangers! Oh, that re-
minds me, haven't presented you to
Mr.. McLane. Will you come with me
now?"
Cold refusal was on his tongue, but
sudden thought struck him. LEAD on,
madame follow" he said, and as she
tripped blithely away down the aisle
he quickly turned back, bent, and
printing one long kiss on Floy's troubled
face, hurriedly whispered "Read
this, darling. I'll be with you in one
moment, and then she cannot remain"
Then calmly and deliberately he fol-
lowed. Mrs. McLane had halted at the
angle OF the narrow passage around the
smoking compartment, and was await
| ing him there. Seeing that, he stopped
short at the portiere, in full view of
Florence had she looked around, and
bowling, motioned her to proceed. But
she had halted for purpose and meant
to have her say. Who was It that de-
clared that even at the altar, in her we'd

the rejected lover who had found conso-
lation elsewhere?

AIDS in BUTCHERING.
How This Much Dreaded Winter TasI
Can be Robbed of Some OF Its
Worst TerrOrs.

Butchering hogs has many disagree
able features, but some of these, par
licularly the lifting of the hogs before
and after dressing, can be robbed of
many of their objections by having a
convenient arrangement for scalding
scraping. cleaning and hanging. One
arrangement for tightening labor in
this way is shown in the accompanying
illustration. The farm sled can be used
as the scraping platform (b). The
scalding vat (a) may be any large bar
rel which will hold water. Securely
block and brace it so that it will not
be displaced in putting the hog in and
taking II out. In the iron kettle (c) the
water is heated. The hog is killed and
drawn along the side of the scraping
platform opposite the iron kettle In
stead of lifting the carcass onto the
platform by hand, make use of the
pivotal lever attached to the post (d).

OF a gay circle, but Mrs. Parry had de.
clined to go east again. He himself had
not cared to go, and did not call upon
the happy couple or upon their revered
uncle when, as it happened, he did have
to go "Mr. Mellen has never written
me since my letter to him telling him
why ] could not attend the wedding"
wrote Parry. "Yet he and have got to
have an accounting, and in the near flu
ture, too. But first, my boy, must
look up that California story and we are
to meet. 1t may be weeks yet before
can get away, but when do I'll wire.
If possible get a brief furlough and join
me. I'll come by way of Sedgwick, and
Charlotte-will not be with u.s."
And, though Merriam soon answered
that letter, he made no mention of his
engagement. Cards in due form were
issued in January just fortnight be-
fore the ceremony. and that was Parry's
first intimation of "the impending
crisis" Charlotte was astonished. Both
were rejoiced on one account, vet both
wished, for the girls sake again, that
he had not been so precipitate. Each
believed that the old love still smol-
dered and could be famed into fame.
They sent beautiful gift to tine bride

Florence almost cried with delight, and

lotte Parry wrote to her fair sister in
Gotham and told her of Mr.. Merriam's
engagement to such charming girl,
the only daughter of a distinguished Of
ticer, the pride and beauty of the regi-
ment, the toast of all the cavalry and
other Celebrations, some of which, 1t
must be owned, Mrs. Parry coined, but
most of them she compiled and evolved
from the letter Merriam wrote to her
two days after he had posted the cards.
The wedding was lovely, as army
weddings usually are. The day was
perfect, the music grand, the assem-
biage all that could be desired; the
ceremony, despite the mist of tears in
many eyes and Tremaine's manifest
emotion, had gone off without a jar.

Place a chain about the hind legs of

into this chain and the hog is lifted
easily, The post (d) is equally distant
from the platform (b) and posts (g, b

After the hogs have been scalded and
all the hair removed put them in the
gambrels and with the lever lift them
from the scraping platform and swing
them around so they can be hung upon
the cross bars in posts (g, b and ~. A
lot of heavy lifting is thus avoided. The
cross bars can be made so that they will
turn around on pivot in the direc-
ton of the arrows. This is accom-
plished by boring 1h-inch hole N the
top Of the post. Use for cross bars four

posts, bore 1h-inch hole in the middle
