Value of Poultry Manure.

According to the Kansas Agricul-
tural College poultry manure has
twice the value of horse or COW ma
nure. 1t is especially valuable for
corn soil, since it possesses a large
per cent of available nitrogen, the
element required in greatest guam
titles. 1t is a good manure for hot
beds. But this manure must not
be applied to growing plants; it will
iDjure them. 1t must be worked
into the soil before planting. If
poultry manure can be obtained in
abundance it will be a temptation
to load it on a manure spreader and
haul it to the field. But no manure
spreader can handle it successfully
unless it is mixed with coarse COW
or horse manure. 1t is better to
follow the old armstrong" method
apply it by shoveling from the
ordinary wagon. This gives you the
advantage of controlling the thick
ness of application. The field should
not be plowed very deeply after the
manure is applied. 1t would be
much better to harrow it in, but 6
shallow blowing is satisfactory
Many piles of hen manure are al
lowed to 60 to waste on the farm
because the results from its appli
cation were not satisfactory. If ap
piled according to these instructions
bearing in mind that it is rich in
nitrogen, the increased production
will be gratifying: Wallaces

of character-building. He would
not be able to do it in Illinois, be-

Before the Potato Was KnO IN.

The useful potato, although in
troduced into England by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh in 1884, was for many
years little cultivated or apprecia-
ted. In James Is time it sold for
two shillines a pound and it did
not come into general use in many
parts of the country until the end
of the Eighteenth Century.
Mortimer's Gardeners Kalen-
dar," published in 1908. describes
potatoes as being very like Jerusa-
lem artichOkes, though not SO
GOOD" and adds, they may per.
haps prove useful for swine" And

Sound Healthy Horses.

If the owners of horses desire
sound, healthy, efficient workers,
they should provide clean, sanitary
stables for them. A horse should
never be asked to lie on a plank
floor, or to repose in wet, filthy
stables. Consider how different it
would be with a human when he
retired for repOse after a strenu-
Gus days work if he were shown
into damp room and told to rest
in an atmosphere reeking with filth
and dampneSs. How long could the
individual maintain health under
such conditions? He would soon
contract either rheumatism or pneu-
monia and become a patient for
some hospital rather than a healthy
efficient workman. Keep the stables
clean, free from dampness and pro-
vide the horses with plenty of dry
bedding to increase their comfort
and health Boone Co. (Ky)
