Fresh Fish az Manure

A correspondent at Livermore Cen
tire wrote the Maine Experiment Sta.
ton asking for information as to the
value OF fresh fish as a fertilizer. The
following reply was sent.
Fresh fish and fish waste have been
used for manure by farmers living
along the coast for generations and
there Is no question as to their fer
tilizing value for all farm crops. Fish
is not, however, a complete fertilizer
and its chief value is due to the nitro.
gen 1t contains. In the fresh un-
ground fish the phosphoric acid of the
bones is not Immediately available to
plants but becomes so in time when
mixed with the soil. Fish contains
practically no potash and unless this
ingredient Is supplied either in the
form of potash salts or wood ashes the
land soon becomes exhausted of it's
available supply. Dried fish has an
average composition of water IL per
cent, nitrogen 1875 per cent and phos-
phoric acid S.25 per cent. The fresh
fish would probably contain so to 60
per cent of water and proportionately
less nitrogen and phosphoric acid. I'm.
less 1t could be bought very cheaply it
would not be al economical fertilizer
in your locality as you would have to
pay freight on a large amount Of
water having no manurial value.

Irritation Reservoirs,

We have heard a great deal about
irrigation reservoirs in the semi.arid
states, but nothing has been said
about such reservoirs in the humid
states. Yet such a reservoir exists at
the Missouri Experiment station. In
this case a dam has been thrown
across a ravine and a large pond thus
created for the storage of storm water.
The pond drains twenty acres Of land,
and is forty feet deep in Its deepest
part. This year it has not been used
on account OF the very heavy rainfall
In that region. In most years, how.
ever, 1t proves valuable. Below II is
a considerable area of land on which
are grown various kinds OF garden
truck and alfalfa. 1t Is not intended
to use this land for corn, % Is II
believed 1t will pay to irrigate corn,
as that ear hardly be considered a
plant adapted to intensive cultural
methods. Professor Waters says that
there are numerous farms on which
such reservoirs might be constructed
at moderate expense, and ponds
created that would prove the salvation
of some of the most important crops
in time of drouth.

The Farm Home.

The most successful farmers pay
some attention to the identifying Of
the farm home. The man that takes
no interest in the surroundings of his
habitation will usually be found to be
the mar who has not enterprise
enough to succeed in his general farm
ing operations. Trees well placed are
an immense addition to the home and
not only increase its ~desirableness to
the occupants, but make it more val.
liable in the market. What is more
dreary than a farm house in a bare
spot with no touches Of nature near 1t?
The children in that house will get
out into the great world as soon as
possible after getting big enough to
do so. Beauty is a power everywhere.
and no less in the farm surroundings
than elsewhere. Let it have sway on
the farm. Plant trees, perennial
shrubs and flowers. and make perma.
nent places for annual flowers. Above
all and in addition to all have a mics
lawn. 1t will cost money and labor,
but it will be worth all hat it costs in
both. These things will make the boys
and girls love the farm and keep them
from leaving it. II forced out into
the world they will often come back
to the old home beloved because Of the
beautiful things that exist there.

Reclamation of Tidal Marshes.

The first step in the reclamation of
tidal marshes is the exclusion of the
sea. Ordinarily the marshes are COW
cred by sea water only at high tide
some Of them at every high tide and
others only at the highest or spring
tides. Salt water is harmful to ordin.
airy farm crops and its presence in the
soil will effectively prevent cultiva.
ton. To exclude the sea a dixie or
embankment must be built at least
two feet higher than the highest tide.
The method of building such dikes
must, of course. depend upon the To-.
cality, the exposure TO wave action.
and the kind of d~iie-building material
at hand. The material in most com.
mon use is the sod and soil from the
marsh itself. II Is cut from the swamp
just inside Of the position to be oc.
cupied by the dixie and the excavation
acts as a drainage canal.-Government

Apples for South Dakota,

The South Dakota Agricultural Col.
lege has been making an investigation
as to the apples that are best suited to
South Dakota conditions. 1t divides
the state into twelve districts and pub
fishes a seperate list for each. Any.
n wishing a full statement az to the
varieties for each district a obtain
a circular by writing to the station at
Brookings for 1t. Among the varieties
Of apples recommended we notice, HI.
bernal, Duchess, ~CharlamoN, Wealthy,
Anisim, Patterns Greening. Repka
Malenka. Yellow Sweet, Longfeld.
Haas, Walbridge, Ben Davis, Iowa
Blush, Malinda. Northwestern Green.
ing, Tetofsky, Prices Sweet and Rails
Genet. Surely from this list the farm
ers Of South Dakota should be able to
get some that will thrive in almost
any condition. Many Of the Dakota
farmers have the Idea that the climate
OF that state is not suited to the
growing OF apples, but the experiment.
ers at the station think otherwise, and
may fruit-producers throughout the
state have already found that good ap-
pies can be grown there. Surely II is
worth while to make an attempt in
this direction on every farm In the
state.

practically the same as a year ago,
with a yield of 225,OO0 bushels, mostly
very good stock. In the Toledo dis.
trict, the crop Is somewhat larger than
a year ago, due to an increased acre
age, n the stock is very good. In
the extreme eastern part of Ohio and
western pennsylvania, where a con

Is about on%e-fourth larger than last

Over q Hundred Mjjes.

In an excavation in a volcano In the

The altitude of the excavation was
about 3,400 feet above the sea level.
Suddenly they heard the sounds OF

In b papers that in the course Of
