Poultry Manure.

Though not g large asset on the ordi-
nary farm, poultry manure is SO rich
that it well merits more attention than
it now receives. AS both the liquid and
solid excreta are voided together the
result is a manure containing large
percentages of nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash.
Analysis and value per ton of poultry
manure: Water, Sc per cent; nitrogen,
8 to 2 per cent; phosphoric acid, 5 to 2
per cent; potash, 8 to 8 per cent; val
ne, from So to $3.50.
The composition of the manure will
depend largely on the character of the
food. Thus that from hens fed with
green bone and mixture of grain will
be more valuable than that from those
fed with Indian corn exclusively.

A moderate crop of cranberries is
American Agriculturalist' estimate.
Late September brought some testi-
mony of rather better apple conditions,
says Orange Judd Farmer; but, these
riffs of light in the general situation
granted, there is nothing to suggest
material change in probably the small

ton as given in the September report
of the department of agriculture was

How to Sleep.

Are pillows damaging to beauty? A
woman who is noted for her grace of
carriage sleeps on hard, straight bed.
There is no doubt that the practice Of
sleeping with the head high is not near
ly so restful or conducive to a good
carriage as a fiatter pose. The head
should only be raised slightly above
the level of the body at the utmost,
and it will be found that one is more
rested in the morning after sleeping
with the head in that position.

San In immature Froxen Limb..

Sap In immature FrOZen LlmDss
The late William Saunders, who was
for so many years horticulturist for
the United States department of agri-
culture, expressed the opinion but a
few years ago that the disease of the
peach know as the ''yellows" was
caused by the contamination Of the sap
in frozen limbs that had not matured
their growth. 1t was a sort Of blood
poisoning, if we may use the term. II
bis idea is sustained by facts, it would
seem probable that while other fruit
trees may not be as susceptible as the
Ieach, or as liable to have branches at
the beginning of winter that were not
hardy enough to withstand the effects
of cold, yet when they do have them
they are liable to some injury by such
freezing. Wherever, from any cause,
a tree seems to prolong its making of
new wood late in the season, as vigor-
GUS and thrifty growing trees often do,
we should advise that they be cut back
from one-third to one-half the new
growth, and that it be done in the late
fall months.-American Cultivator.

Frequently inquiry is made by farm
ers and dairymen as to the best feeds
and combinations, particularly for
dairy animals. While there is no such
thing as q best feed or ration, there
are some that are more desirable and
more economical than others. Most or
the home grown coarse feeds are high
in carbohydrates, low in protein and
comparatively indigestible. Nearly all
of the concentrated feeds are very
digestible. and q large number are
high in protein and low to medium In
carbohydrates. The concentrated feeds
are fed with the home grown coarse
feeds. therefore, first, to increase the
digestible matter, and, second, to In
crease the amount of protein in the
daily ration.
Among the most economical concen-
trated feeds high in protein may be
mentioned cottonseed meal, corn gluten
meal. gluten feed, dried brewers
grains. malt sprouts and fine flour mid
dlings. with IS to 20 per cent protein.
Wheat bran and mixed feed contain
only Ii per cent digestible protein
and IS to 40 per cent indigestible mat
ter. The long distance transportation
of substances containing such large
amount of inert material is an impor-
rant factor in making the nutrients
they contain relatively expensive.
LInseed meal, while desirable milk
producing feed, is not usually as cheap
as cottonseed or gluten. 1t is not
usually economical for the average
farmer to purchase cornmeal. This
should be produced upon the farm.
The cat feeds are also relatively ex-
pensive.
Pea vine silage Ration.
According to figures from the Massa-
chusetts experiment station, pea vine
silage contains approximately 90 per
cent of dry matter and digestible nu-
frients. as follows: Protein, "a per
cent: carbohydrates, 22.5 per cent, and
fat. / per cent. This indicates that 1t
would not require additional foodstuffs
rich in protein. says Hoard's Dairy
man. The following combination
should make very acceptable ration
as an average for herd of cows:
Twenty pounds of pea vine silage. ten
rounds of corn slower. four pounds of
bran and four pounds of corn.
Fodder Corn and Bran.
Fodder corn is very good In its way,
we might say excellent. but alone it
does not furnish the very best OF
roughage for milk cows, says Hoard's
Dairyman. However, If limited to
bran and fodder corn we should expect
TO feed at an average not less than
twelve pounds of bran per day and
then all the fodder corn each cow will
eat without waste.

Protection That Lengthens the Sea-
son of Vegetables.
Frosty nights usually come with Oc-
tober. Tender garden stuff must be
taken care of in good season If we
wish to save it, but we have quite
list of things that will not only en-
dure a frost unframed, but even make
the best growth after the tender things
outdoors are all killed. Winter rad
ishes, turnips, lettuce and crosses,
spinach, hardy onions, kale and similar
things all have a good chance yet to
make considerable growth.
But there is a limit even to this.
When the real cold weather sets in
with November, severe cold spells are
liable to occur, and even such hardy
crops as spinach and kale are put in
danger Here we usually leave them
in open ground unprotected until De-

ture depicting the spies returning from
the land of Canaan bearing on pole,
which two men carried on their Shout
ders, punches of grapes from the prom
Used land. The artist had made these
punches of grapes almost touch the
ground, and we got the idea that they
must have come from a great grape
country. We see that large numbers
of German vine growers are locating
in Palestine to take up the culture of
the grape, the quality of which as there
grown is equal to the best product of
either France or Germany.
