HINTS FOR FARMERS
Caring For Manure.

While it is always best, when prac-
ticable, to get the manure accumula-
tiOns out on the land as fast as made,
there will always be times on every
farm when il is not possible to do this,
and some means should be adopted to
prevent the waste of the manure as
of the Ohio station tells of expert
ments there made in the preservation of
manure with the addition of various
substances. Manure from highly fed
cattle that had been thrown into the
open yard was divided in the spring
into four parcels. On one lot pulver-
lied phosphate rock or floats was
busted as 1T was piled; ON a second lot
acid phosphate or dissolved rock was
busted as it was piled; on another lot
kainit or crude potash salt was scat
tered, and on the fourth gypsum or
land plaster was applied, all these ma
terials being used at the rate of forty
pounds per ton of manure. At the
same time four other lots were treated
in the same way, the manure being
taken from box stalls, where it had
been allowed to accumulate under the
feet of animals. The different lots
were applied as a top dressing TO corn
and wheat with a manure spreader,
putting four to eight tons per acre. 1t
was found that acid phosphate appear
ed to be the material producing the
largest and most profitable results as
an addition and preventative of the
but it was also Indicated that
the pulverized floats may prove to be
an economical material for the pur-
pose. The yields were uniformly larger
and the increase due to the addition
Of preservatives smaller in case of the
stall manure than i'll the case of the
open yard manure, thus showing that
the manure in the stalls suffered less
loss than that in the open yard.-Prac-
teal Farmer.

WANING VACATION DAYS

:.
Vacation days are on the wane, and fast
they're slipping by,
For when there's play instead OF work
time fairly seems to fly.
Though thorsa nds at the sea and lakes
and mountains yet remain,
They note with sorrow that their time
for fun is on the wane-
The summer girls are seeing that the
game is nearly played,
And they are often counting up the con-
quests they have made.
They realize that they are near the end
ing Of their reign,
For fond admirers vanish when vacations
on the wane
There's grief at summer hostelries where
cash like water poured,
While owners reckon up their gains and
add them to their hoard;
About the shrinkage in their tips the
walters oft complain,
For there's but little doing when vaca-
tons on the wane.
Some faces that we long had missed again
confront. our gaze,
And they are being added to as swiftly
fly the days,
For they are struggling back again, a
bunch on every train,
Which always is certain sign vacation'S
the wane.
The youngsters. too. now realize the time
is drawing near
When back to school they II have to go
and take up tasks severe;
They see the hours for play rush by. and
there is mental pain
Because the long vacation days are swift
ly on the wane.
Both old and young are sad because the
time is near at hand
When they again must buckle down and
work to beat the band;
They'd like to take a longer loaf, but
wishes are in vain
When they can see the finish with vaca-
tiOn on the wane.

The Boil weevfI.

Reports concerning the cotton boil
weevil are conflicting and consequently
not TO be relied on, for we really know
not what or what not to believe. The
weight of testimony, however, is to
the effect that the pest is not doing
as much business as ii was feared he
would. This may be because the cot
ton is late and small and there is not
much work for the weevil to do. All
over south Texas there are wcevils,
perhaps awaiting the development Of
their favorite host plant. But it Is use
less to speculate, for we know not
what week may bring forth. Let the
fight against the wcevil proceed.-Dal-
las Farm and Ranch.

The primeval man had just discov-

nlrds. Insects and Fruits.

There are thousands of fruit growers
who for years accepted the statement
that birds destroy injurious insects as
a complimentary ticket into the cherry
trees and fruit patch. Finally they
began to count the cost. They find
that many of the birds destroy so
much fruit that they cannot possibly
offset the damage by killing insects.
With many of us it is far cheaper to
kill the insects than TO feed the birds.
1t is time to revoke their free pass

WIN THRU CANADA
Millers by Shipping Thru Canada
Can Compete With Rivals
to South.
Plan Also Enables Meeting Of Prices
on Flour Made in Eng
land.

Indications that 1t is cheaper to send
flour to Europe by the Canadian route and
that foreign vessels are going after bust
ness from the milling centers are plenty.
In addition to the diversion Of grain
northwestern millers are allowing flour to
be thus sent abroad in order that 1t may
compete with the -four which is sent SO
cheaply from the southwest by way of the
gulf ports. Otherwise northern nillers
could not compete. The Atlantic seaboard
rates are too high. The solution Of the
problem Of competing with cheap wheat
sent abroad and there milled seems to lie
in the Canadian lake and rail route.
The American line, the Great Lakes and
st. Lawrence Transportation company, is
putting some of Its boats into the trade.
The steamer Crerar took the first load OF
flour out Of Duluth for Quebec few days
ago. The rate on flour from Duluth to
London by that route is % cents a hun
dred pounds or about III cents cheaper
than by way of Buffalo and New York
to London. 1t is also nearer the gull
port rates. The Canadian routes, how
ever, are handicapped by a much shorter
season, but 1t is safe to say they will get
a. large share of the business while navi-
cation lasts. One-half to three-fourths Of
cent is said to be sufficient to swing
the business to them. The Quebec route
is sort Of transportation free lance. It is
bound by nothing, whereas the Other
American package freight lines are hello
in check by the inland tariffs.
