When to Haul Manure.

Several Of the State experiment sta
tons have shown by their tests loss of
fertility in barn and stable manure by
the old methods Of handling 1t, which
suggest the Importance of daily or
weekly hauling and spreading on the
fields. The latest experiments made by
the Ohio station prove that when ma
nure was thrown into the open barn
yard and permitted to lie there for
five months before being hauled to the
field 1t had value Of $2.4O per ton.
When drawn directly to the field as
fast as 1t was made the value was
1925 per ton. When the manure was
sprlnkled with ground phosphate rock
as fast as 1t was made in the stable,
thus preventing some loss of ammonia,
the value was $5.1S per ton.
The claim Is made that at least one
third of the value Of the manure Is lost
as 1t is usually put on the land with a
fork and that ten loads put on with q
manure spreader 60 as far and do as
much good as fifteen loads put on In the
old-fashioned, careless way.

FertiIiEinE for Fruit.

The growing Of fruit demands labor
at the proper time, and considerable
work is done before spring opens.
Where growers have combined to keep
Insects and parasites in check the re-
suit has been beneficial. If the labor
and cost Of fertilizers must be consid-
cred 1t Is safe to assert that fruit
growers derive larger profits from rasp-
berries and blackberries than many of
them deserve, as 1t Is only when pick
ing and harvesting the crop that the
real labor is performed. After such
crops are harvested some fields receive
but little care and cultivation, and it is
seldom that manures or fertilizers are
applied, though the strawberry Is treat
ed differently. Enterprising fruit grow
ers maintain that 1t pays to give black
berry and raspberry canes good cult
walton, and to apply fertilizers liberal
ly, as the increased crop Of berries and
vigorous vines more than pay the ex-
pense. During periods of drought the
grassy rows Of canes must compete for
moisture with lntruders, and it often
happens that dry period sets in just
at the time the berries are ripening,
and when moisture Is greatly needed.
When the soil Is clear Of grass and
weeds, and the surface of the ground
loose, the loss from lack Of moisture is
greatly reduced.

Russian Farmers Coming.

A crowd of Russian farmers, the first
or this class Of immigrants to arrive
at Philadelphia in any considerable
numbers, reached there recently on the
American liner Friesland, from Liver
pool. There were many who had
fought for their country against Japan
and who still Wore the military r,l-
forms In which they had been dis
charged.
There were In all $50 of these much
sought-after farmhands, nearly all of
whom are members of the Greek orth-
odox church. Most Of the Immigrants
left last night for Illinois, Minnesota,
Nebraska and the Dakotas. Though
illiterate, they are Industrious and
thrifty. The leader of the party stated
that owing to the political and eco
nomlc crisis, 100000 farmhands will
leave Russia this year for the United
States, coming principally from the
Dneiper and Don districts, the richest
farming districts of the country.
