For seven years the Ohio experiment station has been studying in the field the question of conserving and re-en-. forcing barnyard manure. Director Charles B. Thorne says the result of this work is that manure which is thrown into an open barnyard and per mitted to lie there during the i've months of winter before 1t is drawn to the field loses much of it's value as a fertilizer. The work of the field has been supplanted by analyses made in the chemical laboratory, which show that from two4thirds to three-fourths of the fertilizing constituents of the manure may be washed out of 1t dur ing the five months of winter exposure They also show a very considerable re- duction in total dry substance, indi- eating that it has required consider ably more than & ton of manure as thrown out of the stable to produce 6 ton as taken from the barnyard.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
onnrtern For. awfne.

Where the keeping of swine is made something of a speciality on the farm there should be warm, comfortable quarters for them in cold weather, says American Cultivator. If the barn stable is large enough pens may be put in for the brood sow and pigs as well as for those that are older and which 1t is desirable to keep thrifty and grow ing through the winter. Housed in this way there should be little difference in the growing and fattening of pigs in cold or warm weather, because the conditions are so nearly alike.
 If the pens are on one side of the large stable, away from the cows, and the pigs are properly bedded and cared for, with sufficient ventilation, there should be little or no trouble on ac- count of proximity to bad air. Thus favorably situated they win respond to good treatment and please the owner with the returns made for his foresight and care.
 On the contrary, swine kept in cold. comfortless quarters can hardly be ex- pected to prove profitable.

All rhat Hangs Over.

Some people seem to be slow to learn that all of a tree and all the fruit it bears over on another lot belongs to the man over the line just as complete ly as if the tree stood over on his land. This is not only statute law of every state, but it is just and right.
 All that extends over the line, root and top, belongs to the man that owns the land. He may if he choses cut away all the branches that hang over the line. He may if he chooses cut away all the roots that extend through on his land. From time immemorial this has been the law. All reasonable men can see the justice of it. All hon. est men can see the import of it and will approve of the law.-COr National stockman.

Variety is the spice of farm life Geese and ducks are more profitable than chickens, and yet only a few farmers raise them for market, says a correspondent of Farm and Ranch. Most people think that water fowls re- quire water to swim in, but this is a mistake. The improved breeds require only water to drink and for an occa- stonal bath. Geese lay three times dur ing a year and about fourteen eggs each time. The best stock are the Embden geese and the Pekin ducks.

It is good plan to scatter the floors of the poultry houses with straw, says Missouri farmer in American Agricul- turist. It forms good scratching ma teriaI and makes the floor easier to clean. Many winter days the fowls will be unsafe to get out of their houses If the grain is thrown in the straw it makes the hens work for the feed Thus no separate scratching shed Is necessary.

Calves that were dropped within the last year should have good and suit able quarters by themselves during the winter. They should be fastened in a similar manner to the older animals, with the floor on which they stand of a length to correspond with their size. One or two might run in a pen loose, but where there are more 1t is better to have them confined. They will do bet ter in this way, and there will be no danger of their injurIng each other. Besides they become used to being handled and are more dociIe. They will not forget the first winters treatment and care.-American Cultivator.
