A CONVENIENT COVERED BARNARD.

yards have obtained unsatisfactory re.
suits, but the Department of Agricul-
ture believes that this is probably due
to the fact that these structures have
generally been loosely put together,
allowing a free circulation of air,
which has dried out the manure. On
this account barn cellars, so common
in New England, possess decided ad.
vantages as receptacles for manure.
The common practice of allowing
swine to work over" the manure in
these cellars Is wise one, since it
mixes the manure and keeps it well
packed and moist In fact, If these
cellars are provided with impervious
ottoms to hold the liquid manure,
this system of storage is probably the
most perfect practiced.
Manure the Best Fertilizer.
Barnyard manure is the most eff
fective means at the disposal of the
average farmer to permanently Inn
prove his soil. No other fertilizer pos
sesses to so great a degree the power
of restoring worn out soils to produc-
tiveness and giving them lasting fer
tility. 1t provides actual fertilizing
constituents; 1t improves the physical
properties of the soil, increasing the
amount of humus, which Is generally
deficient In worn soils. lettering its
texture and increasing its WATERFALL
sorbing and water-holding power. Ex-
periments have shown that the infiu-
ence of manure may be perceptible
twenty years after application. 1t d.
rectly represents fertility drawn from
the soil and must be returned to 1t
If productiveness is to be maintained.
In many cases it has been demon

strated that the value OF the manure
obtained in cattle feeding represents
largely, If not entirely, the profit Of
feeding. There are sound, scientific
reasons fer the high esteem in which
farm manure iS held. 1t contains all
the fertiliZing elements required by
plants in quickly available forms that
insure plentiful crops and permanent
fertility. 1t supplies nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, and it also rem
ders the stored-up materials of the
soil more available, makes it more fri
able and warmer. and enables it to
retain more moisture.

annually would be $27, by each head OF
cattle $40, by each hog $12 and by
each sheep So. The fertilizing value
of all the manure produced would
therefore, be for horses, $3.50. 100000;
cattle, $1,159,000; hogs, 1854, 100000;
and sheep, $90,000,000, or a total OF

These estimates are based on the
values usually assigned to phosphoric

cial fertilizers, and are possibly some.
what too high from a practical stand
point. On the other hand, no account
is here taken of the value of manure
for improving the mechanical condi-
ton and drainage of soils which is
almost as important a consideration
as its direct fertilizing value. 1t is
generally conceded that at least one.
third of the value of manure is lost by
present wasteful management or a
total loss to the country of over
$750,000,000.
Return Full Value to the Soil.
If a farmer desires to maintain the
productiveness of his land, it is es-
sential that the amount of potash,
phosphoric acid and nitrogen removed
through the selling of meat, milk,
grain, hay, fruits, vegetables, ETC.,
should be restored through an intel.
ligent conservation of the barnyard
manure.

EXPLOSION SEVERE
Bayonne and Jersey City Shaken
When Naphtha Tank Blew Up.

JERSEY CITY, n. J., May 17.-Ali
of Bayonne, part of Jersey City and
the entire north shore of Staten Island
were rocked as by an earthquake when
a tank containing 100000 gallons of
naphtha exploded in the works of the
Standard Oil company at Constable
Hook.
The cover of the tank was torn in
two by the force of the explosion. Part
of it fell on the tracks of the Jersey
Central railroad on the mainland. The
rest was blown half a mile out into
Staten Island sound.
Windows were broken and frame
buildings thrown out of plumb by the
force of the explosion at Richmond
Terrace, New Brighton, on Staten Is
land. The public school at New Brigh-
ton was temporarily dismissed because
of a panic among the pupils.
The roar and shock was particularly
severe along the water front, where
600 employees of the plaster works at
New Brighton and POO girls in a fac
tory across the railroad tracks desert
ed their tasks and rushed for safety.
Following the explosion the naphtha
caught fire. creating a dense cloud OF
black smoke, which f1oated out ovei
Staten Island. Navigation was entire
ly suspended from st. George to Der
gen Point for a time, so thick was the
smoke. -Four tanks in the path of the
blaze were emptied by emergency
methods.

MOB AT NEWBURC.
Negroes and italians Rolled Rocks
on Deputies.

NEWBURG, n. Y, May IA bano
of about 300 striking brickyard hands
from the Fishkill yards came to New
burg in an attempt to extend the strike
to the Roseton and New Windsor
yards.
The mob, made up of negroes and
Italians, carried flags, and some of
them were armed with clubs. They
marched first to New Windsor, and the
men at the yards there stopped work
before the marchers' arrival. They
then came to Newburg with their
ranks somewhat augmented and pa
raded through the city. A party of po-
lice and deputies drove them from the
streets upon the tracks of the Central
railroad. They then started up the
track for the big brickyards at Rose
ton, four miles above Newburg.
Near Roseton a posse of deputies
armed with rifles and snOtguns halted
the crowd. A. H. f. Seeger, the dis
trict attorney of Orange county, or
dered the men back, as they were tres
passing on the railroad property. The
strikers parleyed with MI. Seeger, and
four of the leaders were arrested.
The strikers were then driven back
to Newburg like sheep. On the way
several of the marchers concealed
themselves and rolled rocks down the
banks on the pursuing deputies, who
fired. Three men were wounded, one
of them seriously.
