LOSS IN HANDl ',,G MANURE.
Much Of Good Qualities Lost by Ex.;
posure to Elements for Period
Of Four Months.
oRx ANTON 3. wAGNER.a

(By ANTON G. WAGNER.)
One of our experimental stations
mas 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 finds that manure exposed for
100 days lost over one-half Of the nj
trogen, one-half 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
" over the land. Washed into the soil
1t is preserved for the next crop.

FRESH AIR in MODERN BARN
Necessary Part Of Producing Profit

Be Given Good Care.

The modern farm animal is an arti-

by the skill and intelligence of the

the operation of producing profitable
live stock that suitable care be given
them, but in seeking to accomplish
this 1t is frequently o%yerdonc. In or

it be of beef, pork or milk, farm AMI

Farmer. The average farm barn is so

SECOND GROWTH OF CLOVER
Excellent Profit In Lambs II Put on
This Pasture Late In Fall-Rape
10 Cheap Forage.

(By B. TAZEWELL WHITLEY
There is an excellent profit in pas
turing lambs on second growth clover
for two months in the fall before put
ting them on grain rations for fat
tening.
Gains can be made on good pasture
as low as n cent a pound in this
way and that is cheap feeding.
Wether lambs can be had at reason
able prices. They can be turned into
very good profit on all of the farms
that have clover pasture or alfalfa.
If put on second growth clover along
in late August or September for two
months and then fed alfalfa and corn
or alfalfa alone they should put on
from 40 to so pounds before going to
the Christmas market.
Many farmers sell their lambs half
fat because they cut second crop
clover for seed or leave it for other
stock during late fall and early winter
months. There is certainly more
money in %pasturing lambs than in
selling clover seed and if the second
crop is kept for winter pasture about
half its value is lost.

SELECTION OF GOOD LAYERS
Not Unusual for WeIl.conducted Farm
to Secure Average Of 200 Eggs
Per Hen Per Year.

After the incubator the next most
important development in this indus
try has been the breeding by careful
selection of races of hens that are ex-
ceptional layers, says an exchange,
It is not unusual for a well-conducted
farm to average nearly 200 eggs per
hen per year, and the tendency is to
improve upon this figure. Several
years ago in Australia an %egg-laying
contest was held extending over an
entire year, a great number of breeds
being pitted against each other, and
the average Of the winning pen of
six p%ullets, averaging from seven to
twelve months old, was 218 eggs per
hen for the year. At many Of the

similar tests are conducted from time
to time, and it Is not unusual for one
pen of selected fowls to produce an
average of $50 eggs apiece, while the
record for individual hens, a much
disputed honor, is considerably above
that figure. The Orpingtons appear to
be quite as good layers as any other
breed. The Brown Leghorns, while
not quite SO prolific layers, require
relatively small rations and therefore
are considered very economical egg
producers. A good layer will produce
five or six times her weight each year.
