LOSS IN HANDLING MANURE
Much Of Good Qualities Lost by Ex.
posure to Elements for Period
of Four Months.
1ny ANTON c. wAGNERl

(By ANTON Z. WAGN EN-
One of our experimental stations
has shown by careful investigation
that when the stable manure Is piled
up and left exposed to the rains the
loss from teaching Of the fertile ele-
ments is very large. The New Jersey
station finda that manure exposed for
100 days lovt over one-half of the nj
trogen, one-llalf Of the phOsphoric acid,
the same proportion of the potassium
had been lost More than one-half OF
the constituents had been lost by an
exposure of less than four months.
Work from other experiment stations
confirms this.
A great deal Of valuable manure Is
also lost in badly arranged stables,
where there are poor facilities for re-
covering the manure. The valuable
liquid manure Is lost by drainage.
The best way to save all the fertile
elements In manure is to haul 1t on the
fields and meadows and spread 1t even
ly over the land. Washed into the SOIL
1t is preserved for the next crop.

Good Example Of Scottish Humor In

Scottish humor is dry rather than

is exquisite drollery in the story of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Army captain" To catch
the hang of little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehayen on ac-
count of a slight mishap a mile or two
ahead, and Andra the old porter, had
got into conversation with Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.

asked Andra, rather amused at the
visitors words.
"Ah," was the pious answer, I'm
going to drive the devil out of Aber-

porter the pawky retort:-

CARE OF FARM WORK HORSES
Animals Should Be Pampered and
Fed Generously to Sustain Vigor
and Good Spirits.

Horses employed for farm work
should be pampered and should be fed
generously so as to sustain vigor and
good spirits. A team ill-fed and con-
Bequently in poor condition and feeble
will not accomplish much real hard
work and it is waste of time to hire
an expensive hand to drive such a
team.
The harness, and particularly the
collar, should be accurately adjusted
10 the horse. If the collar is either
400 tight or too loose 1t gals him and
seriously affects his breathing.
The work horses should be fed
early In the morning and they should
have a liberal feeding. The comfort
nnd rest of the team will be vastly
promoted If the harness is entirely re-
moved at noon while they are feeding.
Allow them plenty of time for a good
meal and partial digestion before they
are put to work for the afternoon. 1t
is poor policy to put them to work
right after eating hearty meal or
upon a full stomach.
II we would allow the teams more
rest al noon we would accomplish
more work than when they are only
allowed time to swallow their food At
evening let them be well groomed
and their legs and bellies relieved of
mud and filth.
The practise Of many farmers of
driving team through cold water to
wash the filth off their feet and legs
rs dangerous, as it causes many dis
cases that they are subject to.
A warm or overheated team should
mot be put in cold, airy place, but
first exercised and then blanketed and
put in a warm stable and after the
Dlankets are removed they should be
wiped dry with straw or cloths.
When team has been exposed tc
rains they should not be left to be
come dry, but should be rubbed dry

Saving the Value of Manure.

field as soon as made and scattering
it is the safest method of handling,
BY this method nothing is lost by fer

der the fermentation takes place
slowly, and no nitrogen is lost. The
carbon dioxide and acids produced
