Increasing Manure Value.
The Ohio experimental station has
been doing some good work along the
line of proving how the value of stable
manure may be increased by proper
handling. 1t is peculiarly gratifying to
the writer to read h report because
it substantiates that which he has so
persiStently advocated for years. The
eXperimenterS found that stable nam
are carried to the field and spread soon
after 1t was made, gave a crop return
in value amounting to So cents per ton
more of value, and that when
crude phosphate rock was occasionally
sprinkled on the manure a value of
is cents more was added, more than the
cost of the phosphate. The crop on
which the experiment was tried was on
clover sod plowed under for corn. In
the experiments, wheat and clover fol-
lowed the corn without further fertil-
Eng and with satisfactory results.
This report is one more proof that
farmers are lightly losing many dollars
they might save with little effort If
they would give more time to studying
their business.
About Seedless Apples.
Several papers have shown illustra-
tons of a so-called seedless apple and
had more or less to say in favor of it.
While it will not do to condemn any
new thing which may develop merit as
time goes on, it is safe to say that ever
should a seedless apple prove to be
fairly good it will be unable to compete
with the better varieties which have
seeds in smaller or large numbers. As
