teaching removes first the finest part
of the manure heap.
The problem of preventing this loss
is solved in many ways, which will
not be mentioned here. Ideally, the
best solution is cement pit covered
with roof. If manure is to be stored
in the summer, however, this would
make necessary an artificial source Of
water to wet down the pile occasion

and perhaps, all things considered. is
as effectual. Much can be done, how
ever, by building a proper pile. though
fully exposed to the weather. 1t should
have perpendicular sides. fiat or
dishing top, be solidly packed, and
deep enough SO that the heaviest rains
will not drain through the bottom.
Such a manure rick, well constructed
is a very practical system of storage.

It is estimated that the waste OF
farm manure in Wisconsin amounts 10
500. 100000 for every year. This waste
has three chief causes-loss OF llquld
manure hot fermentation and leach
ing.
The escape of the liquid manure IS
the greatest single source OF loss.
The urine contains practically all Oh
the nitrogen, over four-fifths OF the pot
ash. and practically none OF the phos-
nhorus. The liquid part contains over
one.half the total fertility and, pound
for pound. is far more valuable tnan
tbe solid portion. On the other hand,
IFS bulk is small, its escape is silent
and unseen, making indifference to-
wards it easy. Fortunately this loss is
comparatively easy to combat An aD-
solutely water-tight gutter and plenty
Of absorbent litter will save 1t all. II

Losses by hot fermentation fall en-
tirelv on the most valuable part, the
nitrogen. This loss is due to chem
teal process caused by certain bac-
terra. To prevent this heating" we
must prevent the growth Of the bac-
terra causing it, and this Is simple
matter. We inhibit stored potatoes

deprive them of air. We do this, not
by covering or sealing the heap, but
by eliminating all spaces which air
might occupy within the pile. The
manure must be packed. as silage is

with manure must be occupied by wa
ter. not air. When horse and cow ma
nure are mixed there is ample moist
ure to make storage as nearly perfect
as possible-in winter weather.
LOSS by teaching means the SOW

an exposed manure pile. Loss by this
source is yet shamefully prevalent in
this state. 1t is not becoming wet
that INJURIES the manure pile. In fact,
as we have seen, high water content
of the pile insures against losses by

There was a time when it was
question in the minds of most people
if corn could be grown in Aorthern
Wisconsin. Today, however, we car
safely say that this crop is a paying
one wherever right varieties are
grown. There are certain areas in the
northern half of the state where as
yet no profitable variety has been
acclimated, but for the greater part
of this section certain varieties OF
corn can be grown very profitably.
The question we have to consider to-
day is not, can we grow corn, but
how shall we grow it, what varieties
shall we plant, and how shall we care
fore the crop?
Good seed, possessing a high ger
mination test, is necessary. In order
to get such seed it Is necessary to Sc
lect the seed early in the fall before
the corn is cut, using right judgment
In the selection of ears possessing
early maturing characteristics COM
bined with large. strong, leafy stalks.
This seed should be cured thoroughly
so that it will not carry much mois-
ture when freezing weather comes.
Experiments have shown that seed
corn can stand very low temperatures
provided 1t is sufficiently dry.
Soil for corn should be well drained,
well plowed, and should contain
bountiful supply of plant food. With
the heavier classes of soils in north
ern Wisconsin, large proportion OF
the failures in getting stand is due
to poor drainage. Water-clogged soil
takes a longer time to warm up in the
spring of the year, does not work SO
well, and the supply of plant food is
slow in becoming available. There
fore we strongly urge that farmers
pay especial attention to the drainage
of their corn fields. AS rule we ad-
vocate fall blowing for most crops, in
the Lake Superior region particularly,
and corn is no exception.
Land for corn should be prepared
thoroughly before planting. If the
ground is likely to get hard early in
spring, it is we'll to give it thorough
disking. This will also help to warm
up the soil, cover up grasses and
weeds, and hasten the decomposition

Of sod land. Just before planting, the
ground should be thoroughly harrow
ed in both directions to firm the soil
well and put it in good till.
In the Lake Superior region, as a
rule, it is not advisable to plant much
before the goth of May-sometimes
the ground is warm enough to plant
as early as the 18th, and again there
are times when it is well to wait until
the first of June.
Cultivation should be thorough and
frequent. AS soon as the corn has
sprouted it is Well to go over the
ground with the spike tooth harrow
with the teeth slanted back, and re-
peat the operation when the corn is
well up so as to destroy weeds and
preserve moisture. If the work is
properly done very few plants will be
pulled up by this harrow and much
good will result. The earlier cultlva-
tions may be deeper than the later
ones. Shallow cultivation, not over
an inch and half, should be the rule.
Deep cultivation is likely to injure

allowing moisture to escape from the
subsoil if the cultivator is one of the
large-shovel kind. Go over the ground
after every heavy rain so as to restore
the dust mulch and incidentally kill
sprouting weeds. Cultivation should
be continued until about tasseling
time, then the corn sould be given
chance to tassel out, form ears and
mature without being stirred. We
cannot too strongly urge that thor
ough, frequent but shallow cultivation
be practiced in growing corn.
A variety should be chosen that will
mature well in average seasons and
vet have sufficient size to furnish
plenty of forage as we'll as ear corn.
For this immediate region on heavy
soil we found the Wisconsin No. 10.

"For the man who wishes to launch
into the beef producing industry.
there are yet many fields open for
profitable work, both in the corn belt
and out of it," recently declared John
L. Tormey, assistant professor of AMI
NAL husbandry in the Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture, who will be one
of the speakers on the "Live Stock
Special" which cooperating with the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and
Chicago &c Northwestern railways, the
Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders asso-
citation will operate in fourteen coun-
ties in southern and western Wiscon-
sin during the latter part of this
month and the first of the next.
"The beef producer" Mr.. Tormey
continued, may raise his own
calves and thus produce quality
which will depend entirely upon his
own skill in breeding and feeding.
eff, on the other hand, he does not
wish to maintain a breeding herd or
if his land is too high priced and is
sufficiently productive, by watching
the market carefully, he may right
here in Wisconsin profitably finish
desirable feeders, purchased at home
or on the Chicago, Kansas City, South
st. Paul, Omaha, or Sioux City mar
kets.
ct is not always advisable to buy
the best quality of feeders, for 1t
sometimes happens that thin stuff,
with less quality, can be bought
cheaply and made to return good
profits by putting on better gains"

Tests of the efficiency OF fishwnys
In dams as practical means OF pro-
noting the run Of fish UP streams will
be made by the state fish commission
this summer on three of the streams
of the state, probably the Waupaca,
Wisconsin and st. Croix rivers. Traps
will be set in the fishways OF the
dams and men placed in charge for a
month to note the number and kind OF
fish that make the ascent.
The law requires that fishways
shall be built and maintained in dams
across the streams of the state con-
tanning game fish, the purpose being
to permit the passage of the fish. To
maintain and supervise these fish
ways Is a source of expense, and I'M
less they serve the purpose for which
they are installed the expenditure is
useless. 1t is to determine this mat
ter that watch will be kept on the
three rivers named
This plan was decided upon at
meeting of the fish commission at
which were present former Governors
George w. Peck and j. 0. Davidson
Governor McGovern, chairman; JADE
Afford and G. B. Walters of Oshkosh.
Another test decided upon was to de-
termine approximately how many OF
fish fry live after being transplanted
from the hatcheries of the state to the
natural waters. The present expert
ment will have to do with lake trout.
A definite number of healthy fry will
be placed in screen tanks, from which
they cannot escape, and then sunk
and buoyed in the waters OF Lakes
Superior and Michigan at depths
ranging from twenty to 500 feet.
