The Manure spreader.

|
No implement on the farm can
serve the farmer better than does the
manure spreader. All farmers are
learning the value of manure, and all
are interested in increasing it's value
as fertilizer for the farm crops.
Many soils need a great deal more
manure than the farmer who is culti-
waiting them is capable Ct making un-
der his system of farming. To those
who feel the need of using much more
manure than they can possibly pro-
duce, the manure spreader may do
very valuable service. While the ma
nure spreader does not increase the
manure heap, by its evenness in
spreading any given quantity per acre.
the value Of the manure already made
may be increased over its value when
spread in the lod way.
1t Is careful, painstaking work to
spread ten or even twelve loads Of
manure 10 the acre. The ordinary
way OF scattering places fifteen to
twenty-five loads of manure to the
acre.
On the ordinary depleted soil that
fails to grow clover fifteen to twenty
loads of manure is really a waste,
not that the returns in increased yield
OF crops will not repay. but that the
same manure scattered evenly on two
or even more acres will enable that
soil to grow clover or some other
leguminous crop that aids in increas.
ing the productive power Of the land.
The manure spreader fills a very
important place in modern agriculture.
It's Introduction upon a farm means
that the farmer is studying along the
line OF increasing or maintaining the
fertility Of his farm. The use of the
spreader greatly lessons the labor Of
handling manure, making it small
task to handle large amounts of it.
The old rotten straw stacks that have
been breeding beds for noxious farm
weeds for years are cleaned up when
the spreader Is purchased. The farm
er at once begins the study Of making
and saving manure. The by-products
OF the farm, the straw. corn stalks,
ETC., are considered as material for
increasing the output of the farmyard
manure.
Farmers that now own spreaders are
scattering the manure upon the wheat
crops during fall and winter. A light
dressing Of manure increases the
yield Of wheat, lessons the risk Of loos-
ing catch Of clover sown in the
spring, and permits the handling Of
the manure at a season when the
ground is solid and will not be serious
~ tramped by horses and implements.
Previous to the use Of the spreader
the farmer would invariably scatter
fifteen to twenty loads of manure to
the acre on his corn land. Should the
season be unusually dry the presence
Of manure beneath the seed bed will
seriously lessen the yield OF grain
when compared to the unmanured land.
When spread on the wheat land the
wheat is benefited. The young clover
Is more sure Of catching. more acres
are covered and the ground is really
in better shape for corn when its turn
comes in the crop rotation.-W. B.
Anderson, Posey Co.. Ind, in Farmers
Review.

PROF. LADD ENDORSED.
Encouraging Letters From All Sec.
tion Of the State,

Hundreds of letters recently re.
ceived by Food Commissioner Ladd
from all parts Of the state indicate
that his efforts in the enforcement of
the pure paint law have met with the
approval not only of the masses but
the dealers themselves.
I'VE have been fooled by the paint
manufacturers and would like to
know ourselves what the paint we sell
actually contains. We hope you win
in the suit now pending"
The foregoing is in substance the
contents of the many letters which
have been received from retailers of
paint throughout the, state, and it is
a source of considerable satisfaction
for Food Commissioner Ladd to note
that his efforts are being appreciated
on all sides.
The members of the Sixth District
Local Medical society of the state
have recently taken official notice of
the food commissioner efforts in
their interests, and he recently re-
ceived cosy of a resolution which
was adopted at a regular meeting Of
the society held at Bismarck, Jan. 9.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, the members of the Sixth
District Local Medical society of
North Dakota realize and appreciate
the beneficial effect to the public vel
fare from the enactment and efficient
administration of pure food and pure
drug laws, and recognize that the pre-
eminent position the State of North
Dakota holds in such legislation is
due to the ability, zeal and energy Of
Prof. E. F. Ladd, state food commits

When Fields Are Bare.

When the fields are bare is q good
time to go over them and form an
estimate Of what their condition Is for
the coming season. In many spots
will be found the need of the applica-
ton Of fertilizers Of some kinds. II
the meadows have not been pastured
In the fall or winter, the parts In
which plant food is abundant will be
covered by thick mat of dead grass.
which came on after the regular NOW.
ing time. II the grass grew but little
after that time, the evidence Of the
need Of manure is sufficient to justify
considerable applications.
When the fields are bare the old
weeds along the fences or in the fence
corners will stand out with amazing
clearness. The farmer can then make
up his mind as to how good a farmer
he is, so far as keeping his farm
clean is concerned. In the first dry
days of early spring some of these
collections OF weeds can be burned
with advantage to the looks Of the
farm and possibly to the crops, a.
these weeds often harbor numerous
insects IN cocoon state, to say moth
ing Of spores of the various kinds Of
blight.
When fields are bare is the time Ct
all others that they show the treat
ment they have received. The tramped
places show, as do also the little cuts
that have been made in them by fresh
cts. This is as true Of the pastures as
OF the meadows. The pasture brook
exhibits only ragged. broken sides.
which, II ever, should be suggestion
to the owner Of the loss he is sustain
Ing from the barrenness of SO much
land that might be producing pasture
grass or other farm crops.
