HANDLE BARNARD
MANURE PROPERLY
Experiments Teach That Liquids
and Solids Deteriorate When
Kept Together.
(By ]. +. NICHOLSON. Bacterlologist,
Idaho Experiment Station)

Idaho Experiment Station)
In handling the barnyard manure
the farmer can save or lose hundreds
of dollars annually. manure heap
is a hotbed of bacterial activities.
Some of the nitrogen is formed into
ammonia and passes into the air; this
is clear loss.
Some is transformed into nitrates,
which are soluble, washing out by
rains and sink into the soil or run off
into the ditch; this is also a direct
loss. Some of it is formed by bacteria
into nitrates, and these nitrates at
tackled by another species of bacteria
which change into nitrogen gas,
which passes into the air and is lost.
Nitrogen is worth at least eight
cents per pound. and horse will pro-
duce 10 tons of manure and litter per
year, containing in round numbers
1870 pounds OF nitrogen. At eight cents
per pound the value of this manure is
5000. 1t pays to save it, Expert
ments have taught us that LIQUID
and solid manures when kept to-
gether deteriorate much more rapid
ly. Also that the more compact the
manure is stored away from the
weather the least loss will result.
Here is hint for the progressive
farmer. Our farmers need this nitro
gen, and when it represents at least
ten dollars per horse, one can afford
to take a little better care of the ma
nure produced by our stock.

 one, and quite number of short speeches were made. It was the general opinion that the farmers could raise other crops that would be more profitable to them than cotton at cents.
 The following officers were elected : President, J. S. F'ilayson: first vice presi- dent, George c. Napier second vice president, J. P. Hall; secretary and treasurer, G. A. Ritch A committee was appointed by the president to name a committee of two from each beat in the county to hold mass meetings in their various beats on January 25.
