SAVING HEN MANURE.

Prof Morse, of the New Hampshire,
experiment station, after referring to
the loss of fertilizer value, and an
swering the question how best to
retain it, says the best materials for
this purpose are gypsu1nt or land plas-
ter, acid phosphate and kainit, a cheap
potash salt. Each of these chemicals
has the power to form new conf
pounds with the ammonia as fast as
1t is set free from the original COM
binatiOn. Wood ashes and slaked
lime should never be used because
they cannot combine with ammonia
while they do force it out Of Its com
pounds and take it's place. Plaster
is apt to produce dry, lumpy mix
ture when used in large enough guam
titles to arrest the ammonia, while
kainit and acid phosphate produce
the opposite effect of moist sticky
mass.
Bulletin 90 Of the Maine expert
ment station says that, using their
results as basis Of calculation. the
weekly droppings of flock of twenty.
five hens, when scraped from the
roosting platform, should be mixed
with about eight pounds of kainit or
acid phosphate and half peck OF
sawdust. If one desires a balanced
fertilizer for corn and other hoeh
crops a mixture Of equal parts o.
kainit and acid phosphate could be
used instead of either alone. The
same authority tells us that good
dry meadow muck or peat would be
equally as good as sawdust, If not
better, to use as an absorbent"
& Fresh poultry manure. at the pres
ent values of fertilizers, would be
worth sixty cents per hundred pounds.
Figures from different experiment sta
lions would give the product of twen-
ty-five hens for the winter season of
six months at 375 pounds for the
roost droppings only.
Poultry manure is especially adapt
ed as a topdressing for grass because
of it's high content of nitrogen in the
form of ammonia compounds,
which are nearly as quick in their eff
feet as nitrate of soda. A ton OF
the manure preserved with sawdust
and chemicals would be sufficient for

FARM NOTES.

"A COW Will drink OIten IL water IL
Accessible at all times.
Do you know, reader, that one
cause of tuberculosis is breathing in.
pure air Of close filthy, ill-ventilated
stables.
.Oiling the separator occasionally
with kerosene will cut the gum and
facilitate the easy running Of the ma
chine.
To the farmer who has been down
to the mud hole to break the Ice so
the cows can drink, l will say most
earnestly, pure water is an impor-
tant factor in keeping the COWS in
good condition and yielding whole
some milk
1t Is sometimes inconvenient to bed
the cows well when other duties are
pressing but it is cruel to let COW
lie on a floor that is bare or nearly
SO.
Shredded corn fodder makes an ex-
cellent roughage, we find to feed the
cows at any time and especially be-
fore calving if one doesn't happen
to have silage.
The men that have succeeded in
making dairying pay care for their
cows so as to make them produce
the greatest amount of human food
at the least cost and yet keep the
cows in the best possible condition.
am sure we farmers who keep few
cows might learn much from these
men who make a business Of dairy
ing. The trouble is we are not will
ing, many of us, to get out of the
nut, to be learners.
The sunny side of a building is the
best place for the COW stalls. No pro-
visions for admitting sunlight Is a
mistake. Ever notice the pleasure
with which the cow greets sunshine?
Grooming does much to quiet the
COW and gain her confidence but 1t
won't do to curry her with the pitch
fork. Whenever the attendant feels
like raising cain he is poor company
for the dairy cow and he should leave
the cow stable until he is in better
humor.
l used to know a farmer who had
very poor fences. His cows would
find a place where they could step
over in a neighhor's corn field. The
shiftless fellow would go after them
and lay another rail on the fence.
The performance was repeated each
time the old fence was made little
higher and finally he had them edu-
Gated so they could get over high
fence very easily; and as long as
that man lived in the neighborhood
there was trouble for himself and his
neighbors about his cows-trouble
that might have been avoided in the
first place by good fences.-From
