of putting it In piles is Objectionable
because of the loss that is likely to oc-
cur The placing IN piles also involves
additional labor.
The manner of spreading will depend
upon local conditions. but where the
distance to haul Is relatively short and
1t is desired TO have 1t evenly spread
the manure spreaders will be found
serviceable machines.
From ten to twenty tons of manure
per acre are usually considered fair
application but considerably more Is
frequently applied for market garden
crops. Experiments have shown that
generally 1t would be far more protta'
bic to use about one-haf the usual
quantities and to supplement 1t with
commercial fertilizers.
The first step to be taken In the care
Of manure SO as to prevent losses is to
provide sufficient bedding or litter In
the stable to absorb and save all the
liquid parts The losses due to fer
mentation can be greatly checked by
mixing horse manure with the older
COW manure. by making the piles COM
pact. so as to exclude the air. and by
moistening the pile so as to assist In
excluding the air and also to lower the
temperature.
The use of chemical or mechanical
absorbents. such as paste. kainit, phos-
phate rock, etc, in the stable and
sprinkled over the manure assists In
preserving the manure and preventing
loss.
Losses from washing or teaching by
rain may be prevented by piling under
cover or in favorable basinlike places
or still better by hauling IT directly

OATS FOR HORSES.
Comparative Value of Heavy and

Comparative Value of Heavy and
Light Grain.
F. ". Taylor of the New Hampshire
experiment station has been investigat-
Ing the comparative value of light and
heavy oats for draft animals. Three
pairs of work horses Of Percheron
blood were used In the test. one in
each lot being fed heavy oats for thir-
~ days and the others light oats. Dur
ing an additional period Of thirty days
the conditions were reversed In ev-
cry case sixteen pounds OF the oats
that is FIVE pounds In the morning. Ave
pounds at noon and six pounds at night
were fed with mixed hay Of average
quality ad libitnm. All the horses
were used for farm work. requiring
average exertion and endurance. As
shown by weighings taken twice a
week, one horse lost on both light and
heavy oats. FIVE gained on heavy oats
and four gained on light oats. The To-
tai gain or loss in any case was not
material The practical results of this
experiment seem to indicate that,
pound for pound, the light oats have
nearly the same feeding value as the
heavy oats.
Although the two grades are practical
ly equal pound for pound. they are
not equal quart for quart. and In feed
ing by measure. as is usually done,
due allowance should be made for the
heavy oats and a less quantity given.
Since oats are bought and sold by
weight instead of measure, there seems
to be no gain made in buying the
heavy oats at a much advanced price
over the light oats.

full upon the streets below. At a
comparatively low altitude the craft
went slowly across the city and head
ed toward the Atlantic, while men
upon the pavements beneath took up
the cry, until from all sides windows
opened and the people rushed into
the streets for a sight of this mysteri-
GUS aerial visitor. Reaching the low
er edge of the city, the radioplane shot
up and up until it was a speck Of light

The king had watched the sights
below as long as they were visible.
Through his glasses he had seen the
streets become filed with excited
men, women and children, and their
shoutings had come to him family

glimmerings Of the great harbor
dimmed and died away, and here and

When the last sign Of life had van
ished, he turned to his companions in
silence, thinking of all that had taken
place within the few recent hours.
Only a short time ago they had en-
tered this aerial chamber, standing in
dread of the unknown terror of the
waters and the menacing silence OF
this western continent they were leav-
ing behind. Only a few hours past
they had trembled at the powerless-
ness of their nation and shudderingly
awaited the shock Of invasion.
Now they were going back to Eng
land bearing news that would upset
old ideas, remove all fear for the fu-
ture, and ally her with the most pow
erful nation history had ever Known.
They had sailed away furtively with
darkened ports, and were now return
ing in a glare of white light, careless
of who might observe. Events had
followed each other in such remark
able sequence, with such astounding
rapidly, that 1t wearied the mind to
follow them. The king was ponder
ing over the new situation when with
no preliminary notice every light in

left in darkness.

another steady ray Of brilliant white,

vivid shaft Of blue arrayed itself be-
