Horse manure from city stables
usually contains 20 to 75~per cent of
water in the form in which such ma
nure reaches the farmer. The solid
portion of such manure contains of
nitrogen from O.5 to O.S per cent, phos-
phoric acid 0.3 to 0.5 per cent. potash
O.5 to OF per cent, lime 0.5 to O.S per
cent. with traces of magnesia The
drier the manure the larger the guam
tity Of actual plant food elements in
the ton. Computing the above named
quantities of nitrogen therein as worth
70 cents per pound, phosphoric acid
and potash each 4 cents a pound, the
valuation of horse manure of the
above range of composition works out
from $2.64 to S4.16 per ton.
Sheep manure from stockyards and
slaughter houses is sometimes sold in
the market either under its own name
or as so called natural guano." Analy-
sis of three such samples sold in Con-
necticut showed them to contain about
as much nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash as could be bought in the form
Of fertilizer chemicals for S11 or $12.
The sheep manure sold at from $25 to
$33 ton. But, as the station report

Feed For the YOUNG Heifer.

When heifers have reached an age
when they will thrive without milk
they should have the best hay that the
farm affords and some form of sue
culent food. such as ensilage or roots.
Oats are the best grain food to use as
part ration in feeding young heifers
from the time they are taken from the
skimmilk ration until they are to be
bred. There is no other graiu food
superior to ground oats for developing
the organs of maternity of young
breeding animals or to promote their
breeding qualities.

Humus In Orchard Soil.

The humus loOsens the soil particles.
which in turn increase its water ca
pacity. The humus is essential for the
growth of the beneficial bacteria of the
soil. One of the most important parts
that clover plays is its ability to
change chemically the compounds of
the soil and put them in an available
form for the trees. The cover crop
gathers, digests and turns over to the
trees the plant food which it has
stored.

CRUSHED OATS AS
A FEED FOR HORSES
Under Normal Conditions the
Whole Grain Is Better.

There are many who contend that
chopped oats are better for horses
than whole oats. If horses mOlar
teeth are in good condition whole oats
are preferable to chop. The horses
mOlars possess great grinding power.
and if required to chew his feed and
not bolt it the horse will digest the
grain much better. 1t is only when
a horses teeth are defective owing to
old age or to some other cause that 1t
may experience some difficulty in deal
ing properly with whole oats. and In
that case it is advisable if not absO-
lutely necessary to crush the oats.
In the case of young horses under
four or FIVE years old teething trou-
bles sometimes temporarily interfere
slightly with their powers OF mastl-
cation, and when this is SO it is expe-
dent and desirable to feed the oats in
a crushed state.
To sum up the whole subject, feed
ing of crushed oats instead Of whole
ones to horses is not to be recon-
mended and is inadvisable under Or
binary conditions. The only cases in
which it is advisable or necessary are,
first, when "a horses powers of masti-
cation are impaired or deficient. SO
that 1t cannot properly chew the whole
oats: second, when horse is greedy
feeder and in the habit of boiling IN
chewed oats and. third. when shy
feeder or bad one evinces partiality
for crushed oats, preferring them to
whole ones.
Oats fed to foals should be given in
a crushed state. Although foals can
eat whole oats and soon learn to do so,
yet the latter are hardly suitable for
them, being too hard. seeing that the
masticating power of foal IS unde-
veloped and comparatively small.

Selection of Heifers.

Two things should be taken into con-
sideratiOn in selecting the heifers which
are to become the dairy cows when
they grow up-first, the individuality
of the calf and. second, its parentage.
Occasionally a good calf comes from
inferior parentage. but the instances
are rare indeed. 1t is generally safe
to reject all offspring from scrub stock.

them. In way of proof that the gros-
beak is a real help to the gardener we
noticed that the chief bill of fare
which was served these half grown
birds was the soft potato bugs. or lar

ed into the red mouths Of the hungry

substitute for the potato bugs we
have found that small pieces of earth

to agree with the birds.
