On a still too large number of Michi-
gan farms the great value of farm ma
nures is not appreciated; neither is
there exhibited great familiarity with
the constituents and properties of these
natural manures. The farmer who
would use manureS to the best adyan-
tage must become a student of the
conditions causing the production Of
manures and the sources from which
they are obtained. Comparatively few
indeed are the farms where special eff
fort is made to preserve the liquid ma"
nure from the stock fed, and yet that
is the most valuable portion of the AM
NAL eXcrement. The author is thor
oughly familiar with countless exam
pies of stables wherein the liquid eX-
crement of animals instead of being
saved in the manure seeps through the
cracks and holes in the floor and soaks
into the ground beneath the barn,
where instead of being of value TO the
farmer it becomes a constant menace
to the health of the animals and the
Inhabitants Of the nearby dwelling.

MANURE AND FERTILIZER.

Comparative Value by the Growing
Test-On Farms Large and Small.
BY FLOYD w. robson. Michigan Ex-
pertinent Station.
There is abundant evidence to show
that commercial fertilizers can never
on the American farm entirely super
Eede the use of barnyard manure.
Pound for pound most fertilizers con-
tain very much more nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash than does barn.
yard manure, but in most instances the
growing test is in favor of the manure.
There is unquestionably an influence
physical, chemical or bacterial or all
together that has favorable effect on
plant life and that cannot be attrib-
uted solely to the nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash present. Where all the
products of the farm are fed on the
premises and cared for properly there
should be sufficient manure to keep the
farm in a high state of fertility, and
on such farm, in our opinion, the use
of commercial fertilizers would be un-
economical.
COmmerc1aI Eert1I1Zer.
However, on small truck farms and
ON others where but little barnyard
manure is available the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers is commendable 1t is
reasonable TO suppose that no system
of farming can be permanent that con-
tinually robs the soil of nutritive mate
rial without returning something to it.
There is no question but that barnyard
manure is the best source at the dis
posal of the farmer to permanently in
crease the productivity of his land. No
other fertilizer is so lasting in its eff
fects. The great difficulty with a large
number of Michigan farms is that it is
impossible to obtain enough of this ma
nure. On such farms commercial fer.
tiliZers have been used with q great
deal of success, and as the system of
farming becomes more intensive the
use of commercial fertilizers must like
wise increase. All farmers cannot be
dairymcn and stOckmen. Some must
sell the wheat, fruits and garden prod
ucts to support the rapidly increasing
city populations, and such farmers
must replenish in commercial fertili-
Zers the equivalent at least of that
which the exported crop removed The
use of commercial fertilizers is not a
fad, ana it viii not down The man
who has plenty of barnyard manure,
however, will not buy fertilizers extern
sively, for they are clearly in a class
below the natural manures, but the
farmer who has not barnyard manure
and cannot get it is compelled to use
commercial fertilizers if he should keep
pace with his neighbor in the produc-
tiveness of mis- land.

ANTI-ASTORIA HOWL.

load as the safest tonnage with which
to cross that great barrier, and satiates
its spleen, because they set this up a
the very limit of ea-going wisdom, by
calling them lot of "antediluyians,' y
''moss- backs" superannuated fossils" and
such stuff. This abuse Is but an echo of
the everlasting anti-Astoria cry that
has ragged in the press columns of that
city for years. The bar association is
composed mostly of middle.aged and old
men; bat every last man-jack of them
is master of his profession, and has
the courage of his profession in telling
the truth, the truth that takes money
out of their own pockets and saves
hundreds of thousands of dollars an.
