BARNARD FERTILIZER.
Fresh Manure Gives Quick Results
on Light Soils.

Fresh Manure Gives Quick Results
ON Light Soils.
In regard to the application of fresh
or rotted manure writer in the
Breeders Gazette, Chicago. says 1t is
the prevailing belief both in theory
and practice that the best results are
secured by applying fresh manure.
When direct fertlizing action is de
sired fresh manure gives quick returns
on light soils-that is. If the season Ia
not too dry. 1t also gives good re-
suits on heavy soils when one desires
to tighten the condition Of his soil. On
soils of loose texture and small reten-
tive power it is best to use fresh ma
nure for the most part because 1t is
not so easily soluble. and small losses
will be possible by lenching, such as
may be occasioned by heavy rains.
Fresh manure has a tendency to pro
duce rapid growth of foliage and stem
at the expense OF fruit and grain. 1t is
therefore especially suitable for forage,
grasses and leafy crops. 1t is best to
apply manure in the fall previous to
the spring in which the crops are to be
put in In this way much of Ii will
undergo a certain amount of decompo-
sltlon before the crops begin to feed
on it,
Rotted manure is less bulky. is more
easily distributed than fresh manure,
and its fertlliZng constituents are
more readily available for the use OF
plants Apply rotted manure to n field
in the spring or short time before
needed by the crop in order to avoid
the teaching out of the fertillzing con
stltuents. Apply rotted manures on
soils of loose texture in small amounts
and ut frequent intervals.
| believe and experience has proved
that manure applied to field by broad
casting will give the best results 1t is
spread evenly and completely on the
field. Where soils are of loose texture
it is we'll to plow the manure under as
soon as spread. Practice has repeated
~ confirmed that manure on soils OF
loose texture may be plowed under
Aftom i've to six inches. while that in
the more compact soils the depth of
blowing should not he greater than
four or FIVE inches.

POULTRY BREEDING.
Examine Your stock TO Insure the
Necessary Quality.

Now is Il good time for the poultry
man to look over and examine into the
merits of his young stock aud ascer
tain which individuals he shall retain
for his breeding yard next season. The
following qualities should be fully
known:
Is the selected specimen hardy? Has
it ever shown symptoms OF disease or
weakness? Has it shown n disposition
to take care Of itself and displayed its
strong constitution by taking the lead
among lis mates? Rapid maturing, n
desirable quality in all breeds. is seen
in rapid growth. early feathering and
activity. These points being under
stood as to each specimen, then select
with reference TO the following facts
The male should be elegant in sym.
metry, good in color, strong vigorous
courageous and gallant; size, IA good
average of his variety. The females
should show strong constitutions. large
size and good color. BY all means the
shape should be good. The theory that
good shape and symmetry should be
present in the male, while anything
will do for the female, may do where
fine points are not Of great Importance,
but in nice poultry breeding it will not
do to hope for handsome progeny from
coarse and angular females, no matter
how good the male may be in that re
spect.
After having made the selections
then by all means care for them. for to
this may be attributed the success or
failure of the season in great meas
ure. II the stock designed to breed
from Is Improperly fed and cared for
and they are suffered to go into the
breeding season not fully matured or
rounded out they cannot be expected
to produce the best of young. Push
your birds. therefore. with all they
will stand of pure. wholesome food and
see that they are well housed also

Winter Feed.

Oilmeal also has u special value in
connection with dry winter feed The
oil ii contains is of very pronounced
benefit to the almentary canal, as can
be observed by the pasture-like con
sistency of the manure and by the soft
skin and generally fine condition of the
cow Cottonseed meal Is a tremendous
milk maker. but is IA dangerous feed
when used immoderately.
An occasional farmer grndS wheat
regardless Of price for feeding stock.
This is also losing plan in most cases.
Wheat has TO be very low or other feed
very high in price to justify the plan.
A ton of bran will make more milk
than a ton of wheat because ii con
tains n greater percentage of the milk
making element, protein. For feeding
young pigs midNings is superior to
wheat, pound for pound. as it contains
less bran and less flour, both of which
are inferior feeds for that class OF
stock-W. c. ]. in Ohio Farmer.

SEED CORN.
A Swinging Crate to Attach 40 Any

The corn crop depends upon three
essential things-the selecting of seed,
the care of the seed and the planting
and cultivation of the seed The sec
Ond consideration is the most simple of
the three The seed should always be
put away dry If it is not dry when
selected dry il. If dry il does not mat
ter whether put in warm or cold
place But by keeping it dry | do not
mean to wrap the ears. II should be
left open aud not too much in pile, so
that there may be free circulation of
air through the heap. 1t is easier to
smother seed than it is to freeze It,.
Never shell the seed until you are
ready 10 use il
II YOU are n big corn raiser and re-
quire a large quantity of seed you
should build a good seed corn bin. For
amounts ranging from one to nifty
bushels racks made out of | by 9 lum-

house or any place where the roof Is
good. In placing the lumber on the
crosspieCes of your racks leave good
space between each plank so the air
can go upward through the corn. Sides
and ends should be put on the racks,
making them boxlike. TO prevent the
corn from falling off. Suspend the
racks to the rafters by putting wires
around the crosspieces and fastening
them TO the rafters. Throw your corn
into this swinging crate, and 1t Will
then be in n dry place with plenty Of
air and away from the rats and mice

A great deal of disappointment will
surely come to the sheep breeder who
depends on poor fences. A good fence
must be maintained where sheep are
kept We have heard people say that
barbed wire is not good for sheep, as
it will pull the wool from the sheep
This is mistake, for we had such
fences for twenty years and never lost
