MANURE SCIENCE.
How Different Feeds Influence Value
of the Fertilizer.

The Maine station has recently is
sued a bulletin describing a feeding
experiment. One part of the expert
ment, at least, is very interesting. 1t
deals with the influence feed has on
the fertilizing value of manure. Figur-
ing the elements at what they would
cost on the market, it was found that
a ton of hay contains $40 worth of
plant food elements. 1t is not stated
what kind of hay was used, but the
supposition is that it was mixed hay.
Spring wheat bran contains $11.S0
worth; fall wheat bran, $3.50 worth;
and cotton seed meal, s2360 worth of
fertilizing elements to the ton. In this
experiment no consideration was TAX
en- of the value the manure would
possess as an improver of the humus
considerable indeed.
This shows the reader that If he
needs feeds for his cattle and at the
same time'it is necessary to pay some
attention to the fertility of his soil, he
should purchase those feeds which are
most valuable as improvers of the ma
nure voided by the stock. 1t was found
that hay was richer in potash than
any other element, containing more
potash than both nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid Spring wheat bran had
nearly as much phosphoric acid as
both nitrogen and potash. Cotton seed
meal contained almost twice as much
, nitrogen as both phosphoric acid and
potash. Hence. If the soil needs hui
mus and perhaps potash, feed literally
OF hay; if it needs phosphoric acid,
let bran enter largely into the ration
If it needs nitrogen, great deal OF
cotton seed meal should be fed.

The drawing shows low down

any one to make similar one. We
think that next to the low down cart
it is the handiest thing around the
buildings and garden that we have,
says a writer in Farm and Fireside.
It's capacity is more than double that
of the ordinary kind, and the load is
much more easily put aboard. 1t has
the advantage of getting into close
quarters where the cart would not go,
and for use about the feeding alleys,

Jacob Riis on Contentment.

Jacob hiis. at a convention of
school-teacaers at Atlantic City, de-
cried contentment.
There is too much contentment,"
he said. "Contentment is often a
euphemism for conceit. 1t is through
dissatisfaction and not through con-
tentment with ourselves that we i'm
prove.

DO not wait for the wagon to whis.

We are told that in bnilding the
great dam which holds back the wa
ters of the Nile for irrigation, flocks of
sheep and goats were driven back and
forth to pack down the earth. A roller
with teeth like sheep's hoof has now
been invented for packing oiled roads.
The Connecticut experiment station
states that 5000 tons of cotton-seed
meal are annually used as fertilizer by
tobacco growers in that state at cost
of s155,000. In 1899 the acreage cost
was s22.S0 per ton, making nitrogen
cost 1873 cents pound. Last year
the price had risen to s31 per ton of
meal or 1914 a pound for nitrogen.

MT or cREAn JTRAW

One OF the sign-posts on the autumn
road points Enthusiastically to millinery
made of tightly.stretched silk-and
satin-broadly hemmed and trimmed
at one side with dropping feather of
the ostrich or paradise persuasion.
The shape of these shows a mush-
room tendency, but bears higher
crown than the mushroom of yester
year; and as halfseason fancy which
shall fill the gap between straw and
fur, welcome It most cordially.
And another attractive idea, which
serves like purpose, is the hat made
of cretonne ribbon--a novel manufact-
ure; soft of texture and patterned in
subdued and delicate colors, this is to
be found bordered or plainly edged
with silk, and can be contrived into
bows, which cover most elegantly any
small closely-fitting shape. The best
example | have seen was mounted on
grey satln-straw bound with grey
glace, and the cretonne ribbon was
shown with floral design in grey and
mauve.
All the newest and most attractive
cloche hats show the high "fiower-pot"
crowns, and they are almost invari-
ably lined with satin taffetas or fine
linen, the latter for hats of the pure

Notwithstanding the charms-and
they are many-of the big cloche Gov
cred with delicate flowers there is an
other grure of hat which is running 1t
very close in the race for popular
favor-and this is the moderately

which should be of three-quarter inch
boards. The legs are mortised into the
shaft or handle pieces, the front ones
resting about three inches from the
ground and the rear ones securely
braced, as shown in the cut.
If desired the sides may be built
from the floor solid and straight up,
but we find it better to have a per-
manent bed from floor to top of han
dies, with removable side boards to
slip on for use in handling bulky
stuff.
Heavy material, such as bags OF
fertilizer, large stones, ETC., are easily
handled with this type of barrow, as
they may be loaded between the
handles directly from the ground.
