Retaining MANURE Values.

There Is probably no better way OF
handling manure made In feeding cat
tie loose In stables than to apply lit
ter daily to absorb the liquids and
keep the cattle clean and allow the
manure TO accumulate under the cat
tie.
II was once supposed that II manure
was kept under cover Its fertility
would not be appreciably wasted. The
Department OF Agriculture tinds that
large losses may occur. though not to
such an extent, OF course, as from the
open yard manure pile.
The best way to keep manure seems
to be to pack IL into solid mass, aud
exclude the air. In somewhat sim
liar mapner to the way sllage is put
up. The department notes experiments
where steer manure was kept in deep
stalls under the feet OF the animals
for months, as against the method OF
cleaning the stall out daily and stor'
Ing in a compact heap under cover
enough fine cut litter being used each
day to apparently absorb all the liquid
manure. The deep stall manure was
trampled to very dark, compact mass
and there was very little loss OF the
valuable fertilizlng constituents
nitrogen. phosphoric acid and potash
With the manure kept In heaps one
third OF the nitrogen. one-htth OF the
potash and one-seventh Of the phos-
phoric acid was lost, the total money
value OF the losses being equivalent
to $3.50 for each steer stabbed for six
months.
Manure, It Is stated. can be kept
almost perfectly, so far as the fer
tiliZer constituents are concerned, by
use OF the deep stall" system. Ex.
periments show, however, that nitro

The Modern Farm In Germany.

Electricity for farming purposes has
probably been developed more In Ger
many than In any other country, A
large number OF German estates are
now run almost entirely by 1t, the
smaller ones being equipped usually
in groups from a single power plant,
as at Chottorf, while many OF the
large estates have their own private
plants. A striking example of this
la tier class is the farm OF Prof. Back
haus, at Quednau, in the eastern part
OF Russia, which covers an area Of 450
acres and has a dairy producing about
1000 gallons of milk per day. The
buildings are all lighted by incandes-
cent lamps and the grounds, In places,
by arc lights. The current Is supplied
from small central station contain
ing a 50-horse power engine direct
coupled to two generators, and a
switchboard for the control OF the
various circuits, all parts Of which
are so simple and plainly marked that
any farm hand can understand and
operate 1t. In addition to the lighting,
power Is supplied for the pumping OF
water and the driving Of saws, feed.
cutting machines, threshing and a
grist mill, and an electric churn In the
dairy. Besides these stationary power
appliances there are number Of cleo
trically-driven agricultural machines
for use In the fields, including an auto
mobile plow, all of which are run by
storage batteries and may be charged
at conveniently sub-stations. To round
out the completeness of the equipment
the barns are heated by electricity
and ventilated by motor-drlven fans
