OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Stable litter has four chief uses In
the preservation OF manure. First, 1t
ali ,orbs the liquid manure and pre-
vents It's draining away: second. 1t
absorbs ammonia. one of the most val
liable constituents of manure; third.
It makes manure easier to handle,
and fourth, 1t acts as deoderizer and
makes the presence Of manure less
Objectionable. The hrst two OF these
functions are exceedingly important
from a financial point OF view. In the
manure formed by horses, sheep and
COWS practically IS per cent Of the
nitrogen and 80 per cent Of the potash
are found in the liquid manure. Most
of this Ia directly available for plant
food. while a considerable part OF
that in the solid manure is not avail
able or immediate use. For these
reasons more attention should be paid
to the conservation Of the liquid por-
ton of the manure than Is customary
in common farm practice. AS Is well
known. ammonia Is very valuable for
fertilizing purposes and Is by no
means the least expensive fertilizing
material on the market. The strong
odor of ammonia noticeable In the
vicinity of any ordinary manure pile
Is sufficient indication that 1t Is there
In large quantities and Is escaping
into the air to be a complete loss to
the farmer. The prime requisite for
= Ia fhat ~ ohaII hnYa
strong absorbant powers for both liq-
ulds and gases. In addition 1t must
be cheap, easy to obtain and conven-
tent to handle. The most common
litter is. OF course, straw, which, how
ever, fulfills very poorly the require
ments given above for a good stable
litter. II Is a poor absorbant for
either liquid manure or ammonia and
has no value as deodorizer or disin-
fectant. It has some little value in
making the manure easier to handle,
but when one remembers that the solid
portion contains less than one-third Of
the plant food this one advantage as
sumes minor importance.
A material which answers m-re fully
all of the aforementioned specifica-
tions is raw muck, or peat. and, where
II Is available, Is by far the best ma
terial for the purpose. In most parts
OF the state II can be readily obtained.
and many farms have more or less
Of 1t which is considered waste land
by the owners. Ordinarily, as 1t
comes from the bog, It Is mostly wa
ter, 100 pounds of the wet material
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-09-22

containing from SO to 90 pounds Of
moisture, though in dry seasons this
may be considerably diminished. BY
shoveling over, on dry ground. and
exposing to the action of the wind
and sun, this amonnt may be reduced
to 10 or 10 pounds. The dry material
can then be hauled to the barn and
stored under some sort of shed for
use as required. In this air-dry condi
ton 1t has extremely high absorbant
powers and can take up many times
its weight Of liquid and large guam
titles OF gaseous material, thus dry
ing the manure and making it pulver-
ulent and easier to handle.
In addition to these qualities, peat
itself has more or less value as q
fertilizer on account Of its nitrogen
content. Though the total amount OF
nitrogen present In peat is consider.
able. that part which Is Immediately
available for plant use is quite small
Experiments which have been con.
Quoted in Michigan and elsewhere
seem to indicate that mixing with
manure brings about some change
whereby greater portion of this
nitrogen Is made directly available.
Peat is also valuable for the humus
or organic matter which II supplies
to the soil, and this gives II another
over straw.

FILLING THE SlLO.
Let the Corn Mature Well, Even to
the Stage Of Being Ready
For Husking.

The first consideration Is to have
the sdlo ready. including all neces-
sary repairs. for indications are that
ensilage making will begin early this
season. 1t Is poor economy to be-
gin repairing when the silage cutter
starts, and hunt the old or make new
doors as the filling progresses. for the
packing and tramping is sure to be
neglected. The same Is true also of
the silage cutter. corn harvester and
equipment for handling and hauling.
Let the corn mature well. even to
the stage of being ready to cut and
shock for husking; it will make q
sweeter silage.
The silo may be filed to the top
without cessation and then more add
ed after 1t settles. but before the top
layer spoils. 1t used to be considered
necessary to lay off occasionally to
give the silage chance to settle. but
this Is not essential.
In the case of immature, frosted
corn 1t has been commonly assumed
that It should be hurried into the
silo as quickly as possible after the
freeze. Recent experienc, however.
seems to indicate that delay of sew.
eral days is not injurious. but rather
beneficial providing loss of leaves does
not occur from too prolonged delay.
r. s. SHAW.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-09-22

If the capacity of a soil for water
can be increased by any means, 1t
would be of great importance to the
tillers OF the SOIL There are two prin-
cipal things which cause soils to hold
more water. One is fineness of the
soil particles or grains, and the other
is the amount of organic matter or
humus which the soil contains. The
fine grains of the clay loan soil, to
gether with the humus which 1t con-
tains, and the amount of organic mat
ter and humus in the muck soil, puts
them in condition to hold more wa
ter than the sand loan soil The finer
the grains of any soil the more wa
ter 1t will hold. The addition of or
ganic matter to soil will cause It
to hold more water.
1t would be a hard matter to make
the grains of soil finer than they are
in any case, but great deal can be
done to make the particles or soil
crumbs finer by cultivating soils prop
erly, and only when they are in the
proper condition to be worked Organ
ic matter or humus can be added to
the soil cheaply and in many different
ways. Flowing under clover or clover
sod; adding barnyard manure; sowing
rye or vetch in the fall and blowing
1t under In the spring are some OF the
methods by which organic matter can
be added to the soil. This will put
the soil In condition to hold more wa
ter for the growing crop. and will be
helpful in many other ways.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-09-22

The fertility of any soil depends in
a large measure upon the amount of
water which that soil will hold under
field conditions, and which will flow
away through the drainage system.
Our ordinary field crops require enor.
nous amounts of water in order to
give a good growth and profitable re-
turns. If the crop cannot obtain wa
ter when 1t needs it, then there will
be cessation of growth which will
result in low yields.
The illustration shows approximate
ly the amount of water which each Of
three, ordinary kinds of soil will hold
under field conditions. Each group of
two jar shows IL inches of soil, the
one at the right the water held by
that kind Of soil. Group No. l con-
tains a sandy loan soil, and the am
cunt Of water held by this soil under
field conditions few days after heavy
rains Is three inches. This means
that the soil over sandy loan field
to the depth of IL inches will hold in
the spaces between the soil grains an
amount of water which would cover
the field to the depth Of three inches.
Group No. 2 contains clay loan soil.
and the amount Of water held in this
case Is 1-2 inches. A muck soil Is
shown In the third group, and the
water held by foot of this soil is
six inches. rJ
The important thing for the farm
or to consider Is the reason why one
soil holds more water than another.
