Saving the Liquid Manure.

We do not remember the exact tg-
ures, but do know that many writer's
make the claim that the liquid manure
from stock is nearly, if not quite, as
valuable as the solid. Yet on most
farms the greater part of it is entirely
wasted, only so much as is taken up by
the bedding used, being saved. The
Journal Of Agriculture tells how one
farmer has arranged to prevent this
waste, by saving all the liquid from his
stock, when in the barn.
A Missouri farmer is building barn
and is providing means Of saving the
liquid manure. The floor is made Of
oak planks, so laid that there is an
inch space between each one. This al
lows all the liquid manure to pass
through the floor. Under this IS a
drain made of cement, which carried
all Of the liquid manure to pit at one
end of the barn. Occasionally this
drain is washed out with the hose from
the force pump to insure cleanliness
and prevent smelling. The drain cost
less than SIS and the farmer figures
that he will save more than this much
manure in single year. Besides, it
keeps the bedding perfectly clean and
prevents many of the foot ills of
horses which have to stand in the filth.
A greater percentage Of plant food ele-
ments are in liquid manure than in
the solids and this is usually lost if
special effort is not made to preserve it.

Large vs. Small Trees.

deal. My plan in setting trees is first
to prepare my land thoroughly and
get it free from all stumps, roots,
etc., properly bedded and in a thor
oughly mellow condition. Then I
buy the very largest buds | can get.
1 figure the largest buds must be the
most vigorous and thrifty. They are
then carefully pruned, and set, and
we'll watered, and the ground well
settled around the roots. The trees
are then left until they begin to start,
when I fertilize them, and from that
time on I force them as hard as l
can until they obtain a good bearing
size. I contend that this is the most
economical way to set trees and
groves. 1t may not be the cheapest
in the beginning, but it certainly is
in the end, for the trees come into
bearing sooner, and the gain you
make at this end more than COM
pensates for the extra cost at the be-
ginning. Final results are what we
are after, and the sooner we get them
at a reasonable cost, the more eco
nomical the investment proves to be.

Alfalfa and Guinea Grass
Edited by w. E. Pabor.

With far less rainfall between Nav
and october than the normal guam
t1ty, October has passed with so little
moisture that the fear is beginning
ito enter the minds Of our rural pop
ulat1on, that second season of drouth
has set in. If SO, it will be more
Injurious to their interests than that
Iot last season by reason Of the sum-
'mer scarcity.

Potatoes to plant in Colorado that
were grown in Florida would seem
to be a case of carrying Goals to
Newcastle but | see a statement
N one Of the Denver papers of a man
at Greeley purchasing in June last
htty pounds of our early potatoes
which came from Florida and sold
in Greeley for four cents a pound.
They were about the size of peaches,

ground and today dug IS sacks, or
1860 pounds, from the seed. He has
refused $3.50 per hundredweight for
his crop and will plant the entire crop
on fertile ground next season. Now,
one IS curious to know just what place
IN Florida these potatoes were raised,
and the name of them. Thirty to one
is a pretty good return as to yield,
and $3.50 from an expenditure of So
makes a pretty good showing.
Peanut eaters-and they number
mlllions-Wlll be shocked to hear that
the Board of Health of Aurora, ILL.,,
attributed a recent death in that town
to peanuts; and they were not canned

But no less a person than the presi-
dent of college in that town is a

Ivy living on a diet of peanuts for
sixty days. But alas! he will not live
on COOLERS pure and simple; he will
