SAVING OF FARM MANUREs.
How to Save and Utilize the Escap-
ing Gases From the Barn
yard Manure Pile.

Within the last year there has
come more forcibly than ever to my
attention one point about the saving
of farm manures that l think should
be well understood by every farmer
! have long known that there is
waste of nitrogen about almost every
stable. The bad doors are tell-tala
evidence of this fact. 1t is nitrogen
escaping into the air that causes the
most Of the foul smells that pollute
the air about our premises, and this
is one Of the yery' ingredients that
we ought to preserve. When it gets
into the air it is gone beyond our
reach. How TO prevent these IN
wholesome and offensive, and, at the
same time, valuable gases from es-
Gaping is the point which l wish to
make plain, 1t is easy enough and
should not be omitted by any pro-
/ gressiye farmer.
1t is done by using absorbents. We
know that there are various things
that have chemical affinity for each
other, and it is by properly using
this idea and that Of the mechanical
affinity of substances, as we'll, that
we should accomplish this end. There
are two principal materials that we
should use, and both are easily OBJ
tanned and worth all they cost aside
from their absorbent qualities.
The first is kainit. 1t contains
about 1914 per cent. of potash in an
available form for plant food. In ad
dition it contains chlorine and othei
substances, that, when brought in
contact with the heterogeneous matter
in the stalls and cutters where farm
animals are kept, unite ant
form compounds that are at once
practically scentless and in the best
possible forms to be retained and be
come an important part Of the farm
supply of manure. About one quar-
per day for each animal is abou
what should be used.
The other is commonly known a
acid phosphate. This is the produc
that is made by grinding and ther
treating with sulphuric acid tn
phosphate rock that is mined in Ger
tain places in South Carolina, Flori
da, Tennessee and Canada. 1t contain
not far from Il per cent. of phos

FARMER AND PLANTER.
THE FERTILIZER LAWS.
The Farmer Al the Mercy OF the
Manufacturer and Compelled TO
Pay Tribute to Him.

We desire to call attention to the
situation as shown in Col Peeks
communication in a recent issue.
The Georgia w,asinterpreted by the
attorney general, forbiCs any one
selling fertilizers to farmers in bulk
This simply means that n farmer can
only buy fertilizers in sacks from
manufacturers. But the manutac-
turers can buy in bulk. That means
that the consumer can not buy with
out paying the manufacturer tor
sacking, mixing, inspection and nan
ding.
If places the farmer at the mercy
OF the manufacturer, and complies
him to pay tribute to him.
This is an iniquitous law. 1t pre-
vents the farmer from buying the
material in bulk and doing his own
mixing. 1t eompels him To pay sew
eral dollars extra for each ton of fer
filters he uses. The farmers of Geor-
gia use about 100000 tons annually.

make delicious dishes which are hardly
known in America. AS a result the egg
consumption Of Paris is enormous and they
come here from all parts Of France. They
are usually fresh. l have yet to get a
bad one at any of the hotels and their
reputation is what that of every egg should
be, like that of Caesars wife-above sus-
picion.
1t is the same with butter. 1t is made
without salt and must therefore be very
good to keep any length of time. 1t is sold
in the markets in balls weighing about
twenty-five pounds each.
But what is that smell that comes to us
from over the way! 1t is OF a cheesy ma
ture, although not of the rank Limberger
kind. Let us cross over. We do so and en-
ter another great pavilion in which hun
dreds OF men and women are buying and
selling. The auctioneers are handling
cheeses Of every description. from the little
rolls Of ~''fromages de Suisse" to the great
wagon wheel sections Of Gruvere, and the
round balls of Edam cheeses from Holland.
Leaving the cheese markets we take a
walk among the hshwives. There is one
pavilion that is devoted to them. Each fish,
woman has marble counters about her on
which are displayed almost everything that
swims the sea and not a few reptiles that
crawl the land. Some of the women have
watts Of running water in which cells are
squirming about. II you want to buy one
they will dip out a handful. in a net and
let you take your choice. They have beau
tiful salmon. which sell for almost their
weight in silver, as we'll as founders, skates
and doghsh, which go for little OF nothing.
But what is that which that old woman
is selling? l mean the one who has boxes
and baskets piled high on her counters.
She seems to be ladling out pints OF gray
marbles, and she has wooden skewers OF
bits Of meat lying beside her. Those skew
ers are filled with frog legs. which sell
for q few cents per dozen. and which I
can assure you taste as sweet as spring
chicken II properly cooked. Those marbles
are snails. which the French esteem espe-
cially delicious. They sell for s cents a
pint. The large white snails in the boxes

Paris eats almost two million pounds OF
these snails every year, paying SO or 81 a
thousand for them. They are found in the
southern vine-growing district, and es>
pecially about Marseilles. In some places
there are small farms or parks where the
little things are bred and fed for the mar
ket. They are propagated in the months
OF August. September and October, at
which time they are fed with cabbages
and clover. 1t is said that a wagon load
of cabbages given after the rains is enough
to furnish one meal for 1OO, 900 snails. The
cultivated snails are kept in the houses
during the winter. They are then fattened
and shipped of to Paris for sale in the
summer. There is one snail farmer In the
department of the Jura who raises one
million to two million snails every year.
| am told that more than 200, 900 pounds
Of snails are shipped every year from
Paris to the United States. Such snalls
bring about s. per thousand at wholesale.
They are usually shipped alive in Novem-
Der and December and must be carefully
handled in order to stand the voyage with
out injury. l understand that som snails
come from Switzerland to Paris and that
Switzerland is one OF the great snail mar
kets OF the world. 1t has its snail ex-
porters and snail farmers, who know Just
when to gather the s%nails, how to handle
their eggs and how to feed them so that
they will have the luscious fairness so
greatly desired by the French. So far l
have not eaten snails myself, and am,
therefore, unable to describe the taste.
Paris has been described as a gigantic
mouse trap with three doors labeled, re-
spectively, hotel. cafe, restaurant. The
city has about 10000 hotels; there are res.
t~aurants in every block; and you can find
cafes at almost every step. At almost any

French raise enough wine to give every
man, woman and child In the country a half
bottle of wine twice a day and leave some
for export. II American wine came here 1t
would have to pay a fair duty, and the
Importation would be reported in the Gus
toms reports. This is not SO, and my con-
illusions is that no American wine is inn
ported.
But let us begin our walk through the
markets. 1t is early morning and the
wholesale auctions are now taking place.
There are ten acres OF buildings where
thousands are buying and selling. The
auctions begin at daybreak and last until 8
o'clock, meat, vegetables and fish OF all
kinds being sold in lots to the highest bid
ders. We see porters carrying all sorts
OF things in and out of the doors. Seine
have hats: as big around as a parasol' on
their heads and above these crates OF
fowls. rabbits and sucking pigs. Others
are carrying dressed hogs or the sides OF
beef on their shoulders. Some wear pan
nlers with baskets of vegetables. All are
pushing this way and that and we are
iostled as we make our way through. Here
we are in the fowl auction hall, where
chickens, ducks and rabbits are sold by
the crate. There are thousands OF part
ridges, pheasants and game OF all sorts.
About each auctioneer stands a crowd or
men dressed like French peasants and OF
women in white caps, black shawls and
short black skirts all bidding vociferously
for the various lots. The auctioneers knock
down the goods rapidly, 1t takes a half
minute to sell a crate Of sucking pigs and
less still for selling chickens or ducks.
Butter and eggs are sold in the same
market. The eggs are sold by the thous
and. They are packed in great boxes which
are stacked on the floor. Each box had
1000 or more and all told, they contain
millions upon millions OF eggs. l stop at
one OF the stands and ask what the eggs
are worth. and am told they sell whsle-
sale for 500 per thousand OF for 2 cents
apiece. and that the seller gets a commits
sion of 8 per cent for his trouble. The
