BEES DISMISS A CONGREGATION

A swarm of bees which have made
their hive in the Presbyterian church
belfry in Marshall. Mo-, for nearly
twenty years, are in danger of excom-
munication. They have always been
very peaceable and have never in any
way molested the congregation until a
few weeks ago when half dozen
attacked the preacher in the midst of
the sermon with the result that the
congregation had to be dismissed.
These bees have made great stores of
honey and the members of the congre-
CATION have protected them and have
never allowed their stores to be taken
away.

MANURE VALUE OF FOOD
Not All That Animals Eat Is Made
the Most OF.
BY W. r. Gilbert.

MY HEN an animal of any kind
wv consumes food, part of the
food is digested and passes out
as solid excreta. OF the digestible por-
ton young and growing animal uses
up most of the phosphoric acid in
making its bones and 1t uses phos-
phoric acid. potash and nitrogen as
we'll as the substances in building up
its muscles, skin and hair.
Now as long as the animal continues
to thrive it standsSto reason that none
of the material it has built into its
body can appear in the manure: but
there is this very important point, all
keep wearing out and have to be re-
placed.
When part Of muscle, for ex-
ample. requires repairing, the worn-out
part is replaced by new material taken
from the food and the worn-out part
is excreted from the body, the nitrogen
being passed out in the urine.
This repairing process is constantly
going on in all living animals and as
young animals are also growing it will
be seen that part of the food is re-
CURED in their case to build up new
growth land part to meet the demand
for repairs.
1t will also be seen that when the
animal has attained its full growth,
practically no further material will be
required for building purposes. so that
the food is only required to replace
waste, and. in the case of nitrogen, at
any rate, as each pound of material
excreted as waste is replaced by prac-
ticaliy one pound of new material TAX

balance is kept and somewhere about

POINTS ABOUT FEEDING.

There is an Understandable feeling
when you touch high-class feeding
steer that once recognized is never
forgotten.
It's the young steer that puts on
more flesh at better profit than the
old one.
Alfalfa meal even at SIS and $40
per ton is regarded as economical BIZ
many first-class feeders.
A ration of three-feurths corn and
one+fourth alfalfa will produce greater
gains than when one-half alfalfa is
fed. Prof. H. r. Smith,
Commercial feeds when honestly
made and compounded by experts are
often the best investments that. feed

LITTLE NUBBINs OF NEWS.

The demand for commercial fertil-
izer by the farmers of Alabama is
larger this year than ever before. This
indicates that a larger area of cotton
will be planted this year.
1t is estimated that the potato bug
cost the farmers Of America $4,000
900 last year, while the army worm
caused damage to the amount Of s15,-
100000.
