Managers Effective Retort

Much has been written about the
greed and avarice OF theatrical man
ayers and producers, but the accusa-
tions are often disproved. The pro
ducers are out to get all the money
they can. but they are frequently
swayed by other motives. One of the
best-known managers In New York
put on a play last year, and it was
success; such a fiattering success
that its author was much elated. not
to say puffed up. But he nursed as
grievances some Of the changes the
manager had made in the play. "Mr.
Blank" he said one morning to the
producer, you would be the greatest
producer in the world If you would
only stay out Of the theater while re.
hearsals are going on. You are fine
on putting up the money, but that's
ALL" The manager touched a button
on his desk. and said to the messen-
ger. Tell my booking agent to stop
all performances of this fellows play.

Tho manure pile should have a
hollow top which will hold moisture

1t is a good absorbent. Shredded corn
stalks are very effective, which is
another argument in favor Of the use
of silage, particularly in dairy cattle.
A quantity of the heavy stalks is usu-
ally not eaten by the animals and

times complain of the bad effects of
manures containing shavings upon

liquids, but most important is to use
plenty Of bedding.

FARE AT HARVARD IN 1850
Dinner Two Days in the
Week.

The students lodged in the dormt
tories and ate at the commons. The
food then partaken of with thankful
ness would now be looked upon as
prison fare. At breakfast, which was
served at sunrise in summer and at
daybreak in winter, there were doled
out to each student a small can of un-
settled coffee, a size of biscuit, and a
size of butter, weighing generally
about an ounce. Dinner was the sta

Thursday the meat was boiled, and,
In college language, these were known
as boiling days. On the remaining
days the meat was roasted, and to
them the nickname of roasting days
was fastened. With the flesh went al
ways two potatoes. When boiling
days came round, pudding and cab

added.

The waste of fertilizers through the
careless management of farm manures
throughout the United States is enor-
nous. The estimated value of ma
nure produced in the entire country
from all classes of live stock is $2,-
225, 100000 At least one-third of
this is totally lost, which means that
a value Of s75O,OOo.O0O annually drains
away from the manure heaps, passes
in ammonia vapor into the air, or Is
otherwise lost beyond recovery. All
of this may be prevented by observ-
ing some simple principles in the care
of stable manure, which will prevent
these losses by heating and leach
ing.
The methods of handling manure
have improved to a great extent dur
ing recent years due to the introduc-

tion of improved machinery, such as
manure carriers and spreaders, which
make 1t possible to handle manures
with less labor The improvement OF
Eanitary conditions, especially on dairy
farms, which require the frequent
cleaning Of stables and the use of con-
siderable amount of litter has also
improved the methods of handling ma
nure.
The greatest waste occurs, however,
in piling manure carelessly, allowing
1t to heat, and thus lose the nitrogen
by teaching out rains and drainage
waters. Our streams and rivers are
rich with leached fertilizers. This
is impossible to recover. Another
great waste, particularly in the United
States, is in liquid manures, for which,
in many cases, no method of preserv-
ing Is pract1ced. In European coun-
tries liquid manures are very care
fully saved and taken to the fields, be-
ing stored in cisterns or absorbed with
good absorbent litters.
Best Absorbent to Use.
The principal value of an absorbent
or litter in a stable is to retain liquids
and thus keep the animal and the
stable clean A sufficient amount of
finely cut litter should be used to entire
ly absorb the liquids and not pack
down in wet soggy condition. A
tight gutter with plenty Of litter will
solve the problem of saving liquid
manures without the need of cistern
or drainage pipes, which are difficult
to keep clean.
When straw is used for bedding it is
best to cut 1t in short lengths so that

loss. When applied to the fields ma
nure should be spread uniformly over
the land and not in small heaps, as
the latter method is wasteful of fer
tilizer materials. 1t also involves
more labor to spread these piles later
in the season, and the pile of manure
can never be so effectively distrib-
ured as when freshly hauled.
The rate of application of manures
is frequently too heavy. 1t is much
better to apply light application fire.
quently and to put the manure on
thickly once in several years. Over
eight to ten tons should never be used
for in such cases a large amount of the
fertilizer is lost and is not saved up
for future crops. Greater yields
will be secured from given

1t moderately to a large area than II
1t is applied thicker on small area.
Loss from drainage is very heavy
where the application Is excessive.
Storing Manure In Piles.
Contrary to the belief of many farm
ers, 1t is an easy matter to pile ma
nure in the open In a way that will
allow no loss of fertilizing elements.
The trick of this consists in making a
square or rectangular pile with per-
pendicular sides and the top sloping
toward the center so that the manure
will always be kept moist. Only dry
manure heats and loses ammonia,
moisture counteracting this loss.
The pile should be made deep
enough, so that the heaviest rains or
SHOWS will not wet clear through to
the bottom and cause teaching This
is not difficult since a pile three or
four feet deep will absorb even the
heaviest rains. Such piles may be
placed upon a tight board floor or a
piece of puddled clay or even ordi-
nary soil without danger of loss. The
essential factor is to keep the top of
the pile hollow so that moisture runs
into the manure, instead of off of it,
as occurs in the ordinary cone-shaped
pile, which we so frequently see be.

Storage of Manure in Sheds.
A combined manure storage shea
and shelter for stock may be used to
advantage on many farms. Where the
manure is so stored it must be kept
moist, since drying out will re-
suit in fire fanging. A tight floor
in such a shed is unnecessary, pro
viding moisture is not excessive, and
sufficient litter being used in the
stable. Where manure is stored in the |
stable and becomes dry, 1t should be
thoroughly wet down to prevent fur
ther loss Of ammonia. There Is no
damage to the manure from animals |
walking over it, providing 1t is kept
moist
Supplementing farm manures with
other fertilizers by mixing them In |
the stable is very generally practiced
with good results. One pound of rock
phosphate or floats per day for each
animal, sprinkled on the manure in
the stable will generally provide suhi-
cient phosphate fertilizer to make the
manure ideal for most crops Other
absorbents, such as gypsum or land
plasters, are quite generally used,
since they aid somewhat in absorbing
liquids.
Avoid Ashes With Manure.
Farmers need to be cautioned gen
orally against the use of wood ashes
and lime with manure. The ashes
and lime produce an alkaline condi-
lion, resulting in the loss of the am
nonia which carries of the nitrogen.
