BAD EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
Maryland Station Makes Interesting
Experiments Showing Injurious
Effects on Exposed Manure.

The Maryland station alloued 80
tons or manure to be exposed to the
weather for one year and found that
the amount was reduced to ~ tons at
the end of that period. Professor
Shut Of Canada allowed two tons OF
manure, containing 1888 pounds of or.
ganic matter, to lie exposed during the
four warmest months from April 20 to
August 20 and founA the amount re.
duced to $50 pounds, and the nitrogen
was reduced from 48.1 pounds to 27.7
pounds, or almost ~one-half was lost.
The experim ents emphasize the ne.
cessity of putting the manure on the
land as soon as possible. It is some.
times piled up and allowed to heat,
thus destroying much of it's value. It
must not be forgotten that much OF
the value of manure and all forms of
organic matter come from it's rotting
while in contact with the soil, and if
allowed to decay before it is gotten
into the soil much of the benefit will
be lost. Crop residues, such as corn.
stalks, stubble, straw and all Other
forms of vegetable matter, should be
turned back into the soil and not
burned, as is the common practice in
some parts. 49,

Best for Farmers to Grow Their Own
When 'Posslble--Gopu Quality Is

Most farmers can and should grow
their own seed grains. 1t is a very

With thorough preparation of land
and culture, and very little extra cost
OF labor. mosz, If not all, the seed
grain and most, of the common vege-
table seeds may be grown as good,
and oftentimes of better quality, than
seeds bought at twice the cost.
AS, for example, a certain field OF
wheat might on the average be to
tally unfit for seed, while some parts
OF the field may be of a very good
quality. BY little extra effort the
seed may be selected from this small
patch. threshed separately and run
through the tanning mill once or twice
to remove all small and shrunken
grain and weed seeds. 1t may be best
to thrash out a few bushels of grain
with the old-time ilail and hand pick
the grain. After securing enough grain
to seed an acre-a start with good
seed may be had and the standard can
be kept up by selecting the best land,
properly preparing the seed bed and
giving thorough cultivation and extra
care in harvesting and threshing. The
same method should be followed in the
selection of oats, barley and corn. Al
though the quality Of corn grown may
be good, yet by careful selection oil

yield and quality of grain may be had
