cost a farmer from $40 to $40 per
ton when purchased from the COM
mercial fertilizer agents.
1t seems to be a pet fancy with
many farmers that commercial fertil-
izer Will make quicker growth when
used to fertilize young plants than
ordinary barnyard manure on account
of being more available for the young
plants to feed upon.
The above claim may be right TO a
certain extent II the best quality of
commercial fertilizer is used on one
plot and barnyard manure on another.
But when we speak or write of the
ordinary barnyard manure We must
consider the fact that 1t is not as val
liable as when fresh from the stable
and contains the full amount of plant
food. both liquids and solids. that 1t
contained at the time It was made.
Thus. many make the mistake of
losing the most valuable fertilizing
elements from their manure and then
claiming it inferior to the commercial
fertilizers for promoting a rapid
growth of the young plants.
We do not think that better results
can be made by using commercial fer
tiliZers for a number OF years than
can be made by using stable, not barn.
yard. manure. when care has been ex-
ercised in saving and preserving all of
the fertilizing elements that 1t origin
ally contained.
Whenever | see or hear the term
barnyard manure used it calls to my
mind certain class of farmers who
allow their manure to remain under
the stable caves all winter to ferment
and wash away and who the next
spring pay commercial fertilizer
agents a whole hatful OF money for
the very elements that he has allowed
to wash away and then says that the
feeding of livestock and dairying does
not pay.

Morgan, sentimentaIist.

The sentimentalist of the world Of
finance is ]. Pierpont Morgan. He
gives money widely and recklessly to
help men who think they have some
wonderful invention or other thing
that will be a sensational benefit to
the human race. A few years ago an
electrical experimenter got some
friends to obtain a hearing for him
with Morgan. He had plans for the
greatest of all inventions. He had no
money himself: he had no backing.
He went away with fat check. but
returned for more again and again.
In the course of time he received
$150.000 to perfect his wonder. but II
was not perfected even then. He
made final appeal for $4,000 more.
Morgan wanted to send It to him. but
some of the other members of the
firm induced the banker to shut down
on the supplies until there should be
more signs of making good.

csy w. MILTON KELLY1

CBy W. MILTON KELLY
We frequently read or hear OF the
relative merits of liquid and solid
manures discussed Some make the
assertion that liquid manure is the
best and base their claims upon the
fact that It promotes more rapid
growth to plants when young than the
solid manure.
On the other hand it is claimed by
a number of excellent authorities that
the solid manure is the best on ac-
count OF its lasting benefits by supply
ing humus. or partially decomposed
vegetable matter, to the soil, which
increase the capacity of conserving
moisture and also improves the tex
ture.
We believe that the best and most
satisfactory results are made when
both liquids and solids are used in
the same relative proportions as when
made.
According to our best informed
men in soil culture and fertilizers.
liquid manure contains approximately
the same amount of fertilizing ma
terial as the solid. but the fertilizing
elements present in the liquid portion
are in condition to render them i'm
mediately ready for the growing
plants.
The liquid portion of manure which
is usually lost, or rather wasted.
through imperfect methods of hand
ling and saving. contains the same
expensive fertilizing elements that

1t was three days after the ambas-

"Well, Monsieur, last Tuesday-this
