Fresh Fish as Manure,

A correspondent at Livermore Cen
tre 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 besh
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. 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 its
available supply. Dried fish has an
average composition of water IL per
cent, nitrogen 725 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 1t
would mot be an economical fertilizer
in your locality as you would have to
pay freight on a large amount Of
water having no manurial value.

Manure From weIl-Fed Animals.


A bulletin Of the Mississippi station
says: The manure from animals fed
on cotton seed or its products is Of
the very highest value. Cotton seed
and cotton-seed meal are about the
only feeds that are ever used directly
as fertilizers and that are worth their
market. price for this purpose. The
liquid and solid excretions Of animals
contain most Of the fertilizer ingredi
ents in feed and 1t seems that stable
manure should be one Of the valuable
products on every cotton farm.
The beef cattle of the station are
fed in a barn, but they are never con-
fined in it, being allowed to go in and
out as they please. Leaves or other
bedding are used in sufficient quantity
to absorb the urine and keep the barn
dry and comfortable, and in this way
we get about one ton Of manure to
months. Six steers in four months
produced 16,16O pounds or little
more than eight tons. Eighteen ami
mails produced during the winter 37,141
pounds. The herd produced, during
the winter OF 1902, 100000 pounds.
or little over 54 tons.
Blight was very bad In cotton last
season. On the station plats every
thing blighted and shed the leaves ex-
cept the plat fertilized with stable
manure. The manure not only pre-
vented blight, but 1t gave better
yield per acre and improved the
staple to an appreciable extent. Snail
applications of manure have proven
very beneficial to cowpeas. alfalfa and
bermuda. Manure improves land in q
very decided manner and is more last
ing than commercial fertilizers.

Value Of PediGrees.

w. NJ. McFadden, in an address be-
fore Iowa swine breeders. said:
Only by the intelligent use of the
knowledge Of pedigrees have the best
results in breeding been obtained, and
yet nothing has been attended with
such disastrous results as the pedigree
craze 1t seems quite impossible Tor
the average breeder to know just how
far to go with the use of the pedigree.
He learns to study pedigree SO as to
derive the Information he wants in re-
gard to what II means and to note the
effect of blood lines in crossing and to
determine what might reasonably be
expected from an animal after the
proper study of its ancestors. Having
attained some little success along this
line, breeder is almost sure to be-
come intoxicated with the pedigree
craze, and then comes the disaster,
both in a financial way and in the
breeding results. No man ever YET
made a success who bred for pedigree
alone, and, on the other hand, no man
has ever made permanent success
who disregarded pedigree, A pedigree
should be valuable for the purpose OF
showing the commingling of blood
which produces certain results. A
well posted breeder soon learns that
certain families have peculiar char
acteristics and he may want just those
characteristics, or he may wish equal
ly as much to avoid them. 1t is unfor-
tunate, however, that the study ofsped'
igree frequently leads to the use OF
an animal simply because it is well
bred. In no way is it more possible to
perpetuate a certain undesirable quail
ity than by the use of a well-bred, or
so.called well-bred, scrab. A thorough
knowledge of families will enable
breeder to forsee certain results of de-
velopment in an animal that is OF
great advantage in determining its
value.

Irritation Reservoirs,

We have heard great deal about
irrigation reservoirs in the semi-arfd
states. but nothing has been said
about such reservoirs in the humid
states. Yet such reservoir exists at
the Missouri Experiment station. In
this case a dam has been thrown
across a ravine and 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 It 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. nor is 1t
believed 1t will pay to irrigate corn.
as that can hardly be considered 4
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.

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
one wishing full statement as to the
varieties for each district can obtain
a circular by writing to the station at
Brookings for it. Among the varieties
Of apples recommended we notice. Hi
bernal, Duchess, Charlamoff. Wealthy,
Anisim, Patten's Greening, Repka
Malenka. Yellow Sweet, Longheld.
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 1t Is
worth while to make an attempt in
this direction on every farm in the
state.

Chio's Onion Crop.

Charles p. Guelf makes the follow.
ing observation on the Ohio onion crop
Tor this year.
Ohio no doubt has far the best onion
crop this season. of any state in the
commercial onion belt In the Lake
county district, where about 1000
acres were seeded. the crop is esti-
mated at from one-thfrd to one-haif
more than las season, and OF very
good quality. This district, last year,
had but two-thiris Of a crop of small
Inferior stock. In the Hardin county
district, where a liberal acreage was
seeded, the crop was again badly dam
aged by wind-storms, leaving the crop
practically the same as year ago,
with yield OF 200 bushels. mostly
very good stock In the Toledo dis
trict, the crop is somewhat larger than
year ago, due to an increased acre
age, and the stock is very good. In
the extreme eastern part of Ohio and
western Pennsylvania, where con-
siderable acreaGe is grown, the crop
is about one-foUrth larger than last
season, and about the same as two
years ago; the bulbs are larger and OF
better quality. II Madison and Wayne
counties the crop is estimated to be
about 250,O00 bushels, as against 2o0.-
oOO last year, with an average better
quality. In Wyandot county the out
put Will probably exceed $4,000 bush
els. as against 10000 last year, and
While some YER good onions have
been harvested, great proportion are
OF small size and not very good keep
ing quality. Licking county, with a
small acreage, reports a very good
crop.

The Farm Home.

The most successful farmers pay
some attention to the beautifying Of
the farm home. The man that takes
no interest In the surroundings of his
habitation will usually be found to be
tkar lan who has not enterprise
eH~L4h to succeed In his general farm
iAS operations. Trees well placed are
an Immense addition to the home and
pot emily increase its desirableness to
th>soccupants, but make 1t 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 az
possible after getting big enough to
do 80. Beauty is power everywhere.
and no less in the farm surroundings
than elsewhere. Let it he 'e sway on
tho farm. Plant trees, perennial
shrubs and flowers. and n.a perma.
nent places for annual flowers. Above
all and in addition to all ! ave a nico
lawn. 1t will cost money and labor,
but 1t will be worth all that 1t costs in
both. These things will make the boys
and girls love the farm and keep them
from leaving 1t. II forced out into
the world they win often come back
to the old home beloved because Of the
beautiful things that exist here.

Cow keeper,, vs, pairvmen.

western writer says that there are
many cow keepers. but few dairymen.
He distinguishes between the two
rather sharply. He says that the men
with dairy instincts come out to hear
lectures on the feeding of the dairy
cow, they read how to handle and
how to improve her, and the result is
that their out-turn Of milk is very
greatly increased. The .:cow-keep-
ers" he describes as fossilized They
will not only not improve their dairy
cows, but they will not learn how to
feed to get the best results from what
they have. He cites the instance
where at one large creamery 1t was
found on investigation that the cows
were yielding only ten pounds Of milk
per day on the average and that, too,
In the flush OF the season. One OF the
great troubles is that no COW census Is
taken by most of our milk-using in
stitttions. and the patrons are H.us
not brought to realize that their cows
are giving very small amount of
milk. Probably one of the best ways
to Increase the production of milk is
TO take a COW census every year at
least, II not every six months. and then
show the patrons just what their cows
are doing. When they have the fig.
ures brought home to them they then
begin to wake up to the necessity of
doing something. There are many
COW keepers that can be made into
cood dairymen with suficieut
amount OF jarring. :.

THE STRICKEN DEER.
Wonderful Endurance Shown Some
times When MortaiIy Wounded.


The capacity of a deer to withstand
the shock OF bullets sometimes ap-
proaches the marvellous. There are
many instances Of a deer shot under
full headway that has run a hundred
yards with hole through the heart
There are instances of deer shot
through the brain and knocked fiat
that have bounded up and fallen dead
nifty yards from the place of their un-
doing. and stranger still. one instance
OF a deer's going more than q mile with
a fore and hind leg on the same side
smashed to smithereens with a raking
shot from the rear.
SO plentiful are these instances that
hunters have way of saying that no
deer Is dead until it has ben grail
loched. nor is there any shot which
is absolutely certain to stop them dead
In their tracks save one through the
neck, severing the spinal cord. These
animals are SO swift, they coordinate
so admirably and their muscular sys-
tens are of such perfection that instan-
taneous extinguishment of the vital
spark is achieved but seldom, no mat
ter how expert the man behind the

Reclamation of Tida, 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-
ary farm crops and its presence In the
soil will effectively prevent cultiva
ton. To exclude the sea 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 dike-building material
at hand. The material If most com.
mon use Is the sod and soil from the
marsh itself. 1t is cut from the swamp
just inside Of the position to. be oc-
cupied by the dixie and the excavation
acts as drainage canal.-Covernment

The cider should be placed in wooden

until fermentation has run its course.
1t then can be stored il the cellar or
other convenient place for use.
Wind-fall apples in the experiment
station orchard at Saltwater were
gathered July 81 and made into cider
These apples made an average of two
and one-half gallons of cider to the
bushel. In 80 days the cider had fin
ished fermentation and was vinegar

gathered on the same date and the
juice pressed from them and placed In
