Fertilizers and Stable Manure

Education of the farmers in regard TO
fertilizers is largely retarded by their
preferences for farm manures, and it is
only when the supply of manure is de-
ficient that some farmers can be pre-
vailed upon 20 even consider the advisa-
biHty of the use of fertilizers, says
writer on fertilizers. 1t is this preference
for homemade manure and compost the
result of centuries of practice, which ere
ates prejudice against commercial fer
tilizerS The average farmer will shake
his head ominously when the advantages
of fertilizers are presented and affirm his
faith in plenty of manure" In the be-
lief that plenty of manue" will enrich
his soil ne is correct, so far as it goes,
out there is not one farm in a thousand
which receives one-half of the manure
which should be bestowed upon it, and
even when the farmer is blessed with an
abundance of 1t he has simply adulterated
his heap with much that serves only as
absorbant material and which requires
one or two years before becoming sufii-
GENTLY soluble TO serve as plant food for
the immediate use of crops.
Agricultural writer's have taught that
stable manure was a complete ferti-
lizer," and has thus encouraged farm
ers to the belief that commercial fer
tilizers were but partial substitutes for
manure, when in fact all scientists know
that # there is any compete" plant
food it can only be provided by ferti-
lizers Nothing on the farm is as vari-
able in composition as stable manure
Its value depends entirely on the mater
ials entering into its composition, while
the manner in which II is kept also large
ly influences its quality. Exposure to
rains, degree of fermentation proportion
OF bulky constituents. and other factors
control it to a marked degree. Expert
ments made to ascertain the correct value
of manure. by the use of many samples
for that purpose give the following COM
position OF horse manure.

THE ABOLITION OF PRISON LOCK
STEP.

10 the uninitiated the lockstep is an
interesting performance. 1t originated
from the necessity Of handling large
bodies OF conviots as compactly as pos
sible. Each mans hands rest upon the
shoulders. while his knees fit into the
backs OF the knees Of the man before
him. This necessltates a short shuf-
ling step, and swaylng motion, which
It Is claimed seldom leaves him. For
this reason its abolition is urged. This
demonstrates the power Of habit. An
other habit hard to get rid Of is con-
sipauon; but there is remedy that
will cure this. as well as dyspepsia, in
digestion and biliousness. and that is
Hostetter's stomach Bit,ers. 1t is a
