The Greeley tribune., 1906-03-22

To stamp out Texas cattle fever.
This is the hope of the Department OF
Agriculture. The Department has been
working on the problem for some
time, and it has almost been proved
to the satisfaction of officials that the
tick which causes the fever can be
eradicated from a pasture simply by
keeping cattle out of that fsture The
tick is not a herbivorous insect, and
it will die out if the pasture is kept
free of cattle. 1t is believed that If
one pasture on n farm is always kept
free of cattle over what might be
termed the life period of the tick, it
will furnish perfectly safe pasturase
for uninfected animals in case fever
breaks out in the rest of the herd.
OF course, the Department of Agri-
culture has no right to go into State
and enforce the free pasturase policy,
and the matter cannot be, or at least is
not, always dealt with satisfactorily
by State officials. But in cases where
the Department is officially invited to
come into a State and take charge of
cleaning it up, it is quite ready to do
so. Tentative arrangements have al
ready been made for this work with
the authorities in some States. and it
is believed that it will be quite pos
sible to stamp out the fever and al
low the free interstate transportation

saving in money and the convenience
to shippers of this arrangement can
easily be understood.
To Introduce Cattle from India.
While this quarantine and extirpa-
tion work is going on, similar expert
ment on different lines directed to
the same end will soon be under way.
There have been imported to some
of the Texas ranges specimens of the
Indian sacred cattle, and it has been
found that they were immune to the
Texas fever Apparently there is an
oil in the skin that is repugnant to the
tick. At any rate they will not har-
Dor the parasite. The half-bloods and
even animals containing but one-six-
teenth part Indian blood have been
found immune, and they make just as
good beef cattle as can be found.
There are very stringent laws
against the importation of foreign
stock into this country without thor
ough examination and quarantine;
therefore it is risky to import stock
from SO far away as India without
especial provisions for it's examination
Mr.. A. S. Borden of Pierce, Tex, has
arranged, however, with the Agricul-
tural Department to make large i'm
portation of the immune Indian cat
tie, and has already left for British
India to pick them out. The Depart

The Manure Pit.

corn or load of some green crop for

who are doing practically this very
thing when they dispose Of their barn

are wasting the most valuable constitu-

manure produced on the farm is its
most valuable asset

round numbers, 100000 horses. 61,-

We were numbering in central Penn

During the hot days, rattlers were
constantly met, and Harry" who

ton from having killed more than a
score since the melting of the SHOWS.
The pretty young wife OF our en-
gineer had charge of the boarding

annually would be $27, by each head OF
cattle s19, by each hog sd2 and by
each sheep 50. The fertilizing value
Of all the manure produced would,
therefore, be for horses. $459,000, 900;
cattle, s1,159,0O0; hogs, $564,000, 900;
and sheep, s90,000,00O, or a total Of
S2,272,000, 900.
These estimates are based on the
values usually assigned to phosphoric
acid, potash and nitrogen in CONNER
cial fertilizers, and are possibly some
what too high from 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 consideration
as it's 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
$3.50, 100000.
Return Full Value to the Soil.
If 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.

duce the average farmer to abandon
the time-honored practice Of piling

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.
1ective means at the disposal Of the
average farmer to permanently i'm
prove his soil. No other fertilizer DOS
sesses to SO great Q degree the power
OF restoring worn out soils to produc.
tiveness and giving them lasting fer.
tility. 1t provides actual fertilizing
constituents; it improves the physical
properties Of the soil, increasing the
amount of humus, which is generally
deficient in worn soils, bettering its
texture and increasing it's water-ab.
sorbing and water-holding power. Ex-
periments have shown that the infiu.
ence OF manure may be perceptible
twenty years after application. 1t di-
rectly represents fertility drawn from
the soil and must be returned to it
II productiveness is to be maintained,
In many cases 1t has been demon.

into practice the new idea that the
manure should be as carefully pre-
served from unnecessary loss' as
should any other farm product, after
he has for twenty years stored the
farmyard manure under the caves upon
the slope which forms one border OF
the running brook.
Experiments made by various Gov
ernment experiment stations show that
the construction OF sheds or covered
yards for the protection OF manure Is
well worth while. The manure from
the horse and cattle stables and the
sheep and calf pens should be spread

strated that the value of the manure
obtained in cattle feeding represents
largely, II not entirely, the proht OF
feeding. There are sound. scientinc
reasons for the high esteem In which
farm manure is held. 1t contains all
the fertilizing elements required by
nlants in quickly available forms that
insure plentiful crops and permanent
fertility. 1t supplies nitrogen, phos-
nhoric acid and potash, and 1t also rem
ders the stored-up materials of the
soil more available, makes it more fri
abIe and warmer, and enables 1t to
retain more moisture.

out evenly over these yards, covered
with coarse litter, and the whole kept
firmly packed by allowing animals to
run over it, thus preventing injurious
fermentation.
To Save All the Fertility.
A more elaborate and expensive
style of covered yard. plan for which
is furnished by the Department OF
Agriculture, provides not only for the
required protection Of both animals
and manure. but also affords an ex-
cellent grain chamber where feed can
be stored for convenient use. Under
the side roofs is also afforded chance
for the storing of small tools and q
great variety of articles that are con-
tinually in the way when lying about
the farm buildings. 1t also provides
splendid protection to animals when
housed at night during the summer,
this roof protecting them from heavy
showers in the night and affording
good chance for exercise in the win
ter, as all the sides, except that
toward the south, can be protected
against cold winds through tempo
rary boarding.
Many stables are so situated that
by adding cheap lean-to, manure
pit is easily produced. The out
side boarding of the lean-to should
be, for part of the way at least, put
horizontally and hung in the form of
fiat doors, so that the manure can be
easily loaded on a wagon standing on
the outside of the building.
