SAVE LABOR IN HANDLING
MANURE.

The study of economy of labor is
important in all branches of farming.
but in none more so than in the hand
ling of the manure. Unless the ques-
tion is given close attention much
labor will be wasted. Prof Thomas
Shaw says in The Farmer that one of
the greatest factors in thus saving
labor is found i'll getting the manure
on the land without having to load it
more than once This can be accom-
plished by having the manure taken
directly from the stables to the field.
When it is thus drawn it is only
handled twice with the ordinary wag-
on, and only once when drawn with
the manure spreader
The plan of handling advocated by
some writer's involves an amount of
labor that is not justiatible, unless
when the manure is wanted for a
specific use, which necessitates reduc-
ing it before it can be applied. This
plan in outline is as follows: Mix
the manure from the different stables
when wheeling from the same. This
is done by indiscriminate dumping in
one layer, or, better still, i'll separate
layers. Then it is recommended in
some instances to turn it over to
hasten decomposition. 1t is then load
ed and carted to the land. In coun-
try in which labor is so dear such
handling of manure is very costly. 1t
is so costly that unless in special
cases it would not pay to do it. The
great aim should be to apply it to the
land as soon as this can be done after
it is made and with the least possible
amount of labor

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an i'll
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the intiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which nothing but an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

PINK EYE IN CATTLE.

There has been considerable COM
plant this year in Colorado regarding
a disease in cattle known among the
stockmen as pink eye. 1t has been
attacking calves. 1t attacks the eyes,
and in some cases the eyeball swells
until it bursts, and in others film
covers the eye and the animal goes
blind.
AS the cause of the disease is not
known, an effort will be made to get
the government to start an investiga-
ton. In the meanwhile the consult
ing veterinarian, DR.. Charles Gress-
well, of Denver, proposes the follow
ing treatment:
In the mild cases battle the eyes
with a saturated solution of boracic
acid, which is made by dissolving as
much boracic acid as hot water will
take up. After the bathing and thor
ough cleansing of the eye, smear
around the eyelids an ointment COM
posed of one part boracic acid and
tlBllb pdIlS NdSSllue. lllo edSltSb way
to apply this remedy is to pass the
animal through a chute and apply the
lotion with sponge; or if on the
range by roping Apply sufficient of
the ointment to thoroughly cover the
surface of the skin around the eye to
the extent of three or four inches 1t
will not matter if little ointment
gets into the eyes. In the very bad
places, where liberation takes place,
the animal must be taken up and daily
applications made to the eyeball with
a solution of nitrate of silver, one
grain to two ounces of distilled water
Apply this lotion to the eyeball will

across the eye once or twice.
In mild cases it is usually not neces
sary to apply the boracic acid lotion

HOW TO TRAIN A CALF.

Some of our advanced dairymen
differ greatly in their opinions how
to manage the calf Immediately after
birth. One man says: II prefer to
take the calf away as soon as born
rather than be troubled caring for the
sore teats of the COW. Use for con-
venience shallow and broad metal
pail, milking for a large calf three
quarts, for a small calf about two
quarts of milk Then, after gently
caressing the calf, stroke the neck or
back with the hand, or, talking kind
ly to it, place the milk under it's nose
and the fingers touching the lips but
not in the mouth, soon it will begin
to try to get hold Of your fingers !;
then gently push Fits nose down into
the milk, and in its efforts to get hold
OF your finger it will get taste of
the milk and is very apt to drink.
a little patience and kindness will
meet with success, After it has been
taught to drink you will find it much
better to always place it in stanchion
at feeding time and let it remain
there for a short time after it gets
through eating, so that it will not
form the habit of sucking the other
calves ears. Some others prefer to
let the calves remain with their moth
ers until they are three or four days
o Id. Probably the latter has more
followers than the former. 1t is evil
dent that either proceeding gives good
results and may be adopted without
detriment to the future welfare of the
COWS. -Colman's Rural World.

A DOLLAR A YEAR FOR EACH
HEN.

| know of n colony of hens that has
in the last year averaged a net profit
of 1928 a year They were a selected
lot, however, and hardly represented
what all the hens of a farm could do.
There is excellent reason why such
colony should be formed by itself.
Select from the farm the best layers
and put them together in a separate
colony. Then keep an account of all
the eggs they lay. If for any reason
some of the hens should fail to keep
up their standard, take them out of
this colony, and add those from the
general yard which show qualifica-
tions for the select company. This
selective process is an excellent train
ing in showing you just what hens of
the flock are the best layers, and it
also demonstrates pretty forcibly
what can be accomplished if one weeds
out those that do not pay. Now, if
the whole flock could be brought up
to this high standard, would not the
chance of making a dollar year and
more per hen be greatly advanced? In
order to keep even one colony up to
this high state of efficiency it will be
necessary to Gull ont from their num-
Der and add new blood every year,
for some will run out of their powers
of laying, and will no longer be fit
for the company they are in. 1t will
be necessary to raise more new blood
continually to keep up the special col
iony. Annie Webster in Massachu-
sets Ploughman.

QUALITY PREFERRED TO
QUANTITY.

There is enough in dairying right
fully conducted to warrant any intel
ligent farmer, whose place is suited
for it, to give to it his whole time
and attention. 1t is better to start
with five COWS of the right kind and
give them the right care, than to start
with twenty, ten of which will eat
the heads off the other ten and then
tackle the man. Better to have a
COW stable on one side of the barn
with good floors and comfortable stalls
than q shed all around it where the
COWS have to wallow in mud and ma
nure until stranger would think
they were walking fertilizer factories
Better to cool the milk cans in bar
rel sawed in two and filled with good,
clean water, than in ditch five
miles long filled with stagnant, foul
smelling water. l am glad to be able
to say though that dairying is improv-
ing along the right lines and the ex-
ample of a few first-clas dairymen in
our State, as good as they can be
found anywhere, is bearing fruit, and
l trust the time will come and come
soon when shiftless and improbable
dairying will be the exception and in
telligent, up-to date methods will be
the rule. Then, if the same march
of progress will do away with the
poorly constructed creameries located
in unfit places, where no drainage can
be had, ana the surroundings on a
warm day smell worse than fifteen
skunks in an Sxl0 cellar, also with
buttermakers who think hot water,
live steam scrubbing brushes and sal
soda belong in fairy tales When they
are done away with and the attrac.
tive, clean, sweet smelling creameries
are run by neat, progressive butter
makers, who take as great pride il

LIGHT BRAHMAS.

There is difference in opinion re-
garding the value of the Light Brah-
ma compared to the Brown Leghorn.
The eggs of the former are claimed
to be finer i'll quality and also larger
and richer III color. At the age of six
months the Brahma cockerel will be
nearly as large as when fully matur-
ed, sometimes weighing seven or eight
pounds. 1t is true the Brahmas are
not equal to the Games or Dorkings
for table use, or even to the Houdans.
but they do not disgrace the table by
any means. The Brown Leghorns are
non sitters, being admirable layers
except in the cold weather, when
they are then outdone by the Brahmas.
The Leghorns mature early and are
excellent foragers. For the farmer
the Light Brahma is all excellent fowl
and the farmer needs a fowl that will
lay all winter and do its own sitting.
Of course there may be some who
will differ on these points, but it is
doubtful if there can be found any
points in favor of any breed that can
not be equalled by the Brahmas,

AGRICULTURAL.
EXPERIENCE WITH a MANURE
SPREADER.

/. Our first manure spreader was
regarded as an experiment and to some
it looked like an extravaganza. Now
it stands among the implements that
we prize most highly. We would dis
like to farm without it. Recently l
saw list of implements that one of
the most practical farmers thought
necessary for successful farming OPP
erations, and noted with commenda-
tion that he had placed the manure
spreader at the head of the list.
?. The spreader should be kept UNI
der cover Unless it Is, parts OF 1t
will warp more or less, and its eff
cheney will be greatly impaired.
Every man who buys a spreader should
see to it that when not i'll use it be
most carefully housed. We keep all
tools under cover, but take paticular
pains with the spreader
3. In working the spreader if pos
sible arrange so that there will be
more than one to load, so that the
team is kept moving, either with the
load to the field, spreading or return
ing The only place in the working
of the spreader where one is weak is
where too much time is taken in the
loading. This spot can be strengthen
ed by a little headwork on the part of
the farmer
1. The use of the spreader will tend
to make farming more intensive
One comes readily to perceive that
with increased fertility there is less
cost in producing bushel of grain.
This observation will naturally lead
the farmer to diminish his acres and
increase the fertility of the fewer
ones. Let the balance of the land, il
need be, be in grass for grazing or hay
production.
5. We observed at our State fail
recently that manufacturers of manure
spreaders have made spreader which
is better adapted to the western farm
than the earlier ones, in that they
have a greater capacity of box, carry
ing larger load The earlier spread
ers were too small and did not NEE
demands of western conditions
6. Anything that adds to the facil
ity of handling manure will increase
the fertilization by that means of soil
and will, in fact, increase the desire t.
have more manure to haul, which vii
naturally make for the increase of live
stock on the farm. This gives to tn,
manure spreader its comprehensive

STABLE MANURE.

Most farmers use stable manure as
though it were a complete, well bal
anced fertilizer, says the Rural New
Yorker A few realize that it is
chiefly useful for supplying nitrogen
and add what is needed to make a
balanced ration for plants Suppose
we use twenty tons of average manure
per acre. We have supplied 200 pounds
of nitrogen, 100 of phosphoric acid,
and 260 pounds of potash A ton of
high grade potato fertilizer would
contain about 80 pounds of nitrogen,
$50 of phosphoric acid and $50 potash.
Now eight tons of the manure will
give us so pounds of nitrogen, As of
phosphoric acid and 104 of potash By
adding half ton of acid phosphate
and 200 pounds of muriate of potash
to the eight tons of manure we have
nearly the full amount of plant food
found in the ton of fertilizer. Used
in this way the manure can be used
to supply the nitrogen for twice the
area that would otherwise be covered
1t is evident that if we are to furnish
all the phosphoric acid that the plant
requires, in the form of manure, we
must provide costly excess of nitro
gen. 1t is often cheaper to use the
manure for providing as much nitro
gen as the crop requires, and then add
the potash and phosphoric acid in the
form of chemicals.
