CONCRETE PITS FOR MANURE

The problem of soil fertility conser-
vation is one of the most important
considerations of the time. Not alone
is it a matter for the farmers atten-
tion, but quite as much a subject in
which every country dweller, whether
he owns or rents his acreage, should be
intensely interested. In this connection
extensive experiments have shown that
the strength of various manures (stable
and barnyardD, is directly dependent
upon the manner of their storage.
Manure that has been piled on the bare
ground or in wooden pens loses fully
quarter of its fertilizing properties by
reason of the teaching. as it is called,
caused by heavy rains. tramping of the
stock, and also. later. by reason of fer
mentation as firing" brought about by
the lack of sufficient moisture. The
modern method of constructing con-
crete pits for the storage of manure has
much to commend it, A load of manure
thus properly preserved is often worth
fully two loads of manure carted from
old storage helps-EXchange

GOOD BULBS CHEAPER

A recent writer in the Garden Maga-
zine gives an Illuminating analysis of
the effect of the new tariff on bulbs.
In substance he says that the new duty
is on numbers rather than price. Lily
of the valley pips, tulip, narcissi. be-
gonia and gloXinia bulbs will now pay
one dollar per thousand, which means
that the duty on the high-priced sorts
will be the same as the cheap ones,
a fact that ought to make the former
less costly. Clumps of lily of the val
ley, hyacinth, astilbe and delytra will
pay a quarter of a cent each. Thus
the expensive hyacinths will not now
have to pay 25 per cent of their cost
in the tariff.
Many bulbs not mentioned in the law
will come under the clause which re-
quires a duty of so cents per thousand
This will enable us to try many of
the expensive things that have hither,
to been out of the reach of most anna
teurs.
The way to take advantage of the
lower prices is to look ahead
Go to your dealer and get from
him some of the foreign lists, unless
you have already written abroad for
them. All the dealers will gladly ac-
cept a definite order for bulbs to be
imported, and since they are not asked
to run the risk of loss, the prices will
be correspondingly low.
Another practical way to get a few
bulbs of special sorts is to order di-
rect from the foreign dealer and have
the package sent by parcel post. AL
lowance must be made for the cost of
postage and payment can easily be
made by international money order;
but here again you cannot wait until
the last moment-you must take the

good size for single Names But in cut
ting up old scrap all sorts of sizes and
shapes will be found convenient. Some
times one wishes to record dates and
particulars and then some space is de-
sirable and larger pieces are useful
The tinsmith or slovenian will prob
ably be glad to furnish pieces of scrap
zinc cut to sizes for a small sum.
Marks made upon zinc with soft
black lead pencil are indelible and are
even clearer after years exposure to
the weather than when first made. The
weathering of the zinc gives matt
surface upon which the pencil marks
stand out with beautiful distinctness.
There is apparently some chemical re-
action between the graphite and the
zinc. Just how long the markings will
remain distinct cannot be stated. The
observed period covers several years,
The probability is that they will last as

Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-28
DURABLE GARDEN LABELS

A durable label is very desirable in
the garden for preserving the names
and history of trees and plants. The
one in common use, the little pine tag
of the nursery people, does pretty well
for the first season and then dlscolors
and is hard to read and is never easily
written on. Paper does not last through
a single season. The result is that
people generally do not use tags or
labels and forget when things are
planted, the names and many other
useful particulars.
But there is a better way, for we can
have labels cheap, permanent, easy to
read and easy to write upon with the
common lead pencil. So permanent in
fact that the record is as easily read
five years after it was made as it was
when first written on.
All you need is a lead pencil and
sheet zinc Common sheet zinc, even
old stove board or other old zinc an
swers as well as new. An old pair of
shears will answer for cutting it up,
and with a wire nail a hole can be
