PLANT FOOD WASTED.
Neglect Of Manure Costs America
Many Millions Each Year

The farmer who keeps six head of
horses, twenty cows, a hundred hogs
and twenty sheep has a manure fac
tory that produces every year approxi-
mately $1,000 worth of fertilizer. II
has been estimated. and | think tho
estimate a very conservative one. that
from u third to q halt of the fertilizinp
value of manure is lost every wear be-
cause of the carclessncss exercised in
Its preservation. Nearly every farmer
who has the number Of horses and 9TH
er animals mentioned above allows
the voided by these animals to
lose from $500 to $500 worth of it's
plant food before he applies it to the
land. In the United States there is
lost every year through the careless
ness OF the farmer plant food worth
from $500, 600, 900 to $500 100000.
Manures suffer loss in three ways
by fermentation or rapid decay, by
teaching and by wastes round the barn
lots and in the pastures. For each of
these losses the farmer is responsible.
The amount Of loss in a given time in
the uncared for n depends large
ly on the climate. The New York sta
ton has found that manure subjected
to the action of the elements and
thrown on a loose heap and allowed to
ferment will lose nearly, If not quite,
half Of it's fertilizing elements in six
months. This station has also found
that If COW and horse manure are mix
ed the loss will not be so great. 1t
found that manure uncared for would
lose in a year 81 per cent Of it's gross
weight, GO per cent of nitrogen, Al per
cent Of phosphoric acid, 76 per cent Of
potash and CD per cent of it's money
value.-Country Gentleman.

what a program he was mapping ont.
TO the west of our camp of 5000 men
was a corral holding 5000 mules and
horses. The 5000 men were occupying
about $500 tents. The guards about
the corrals afterward remembered see.
ing 81 hanging about for two or three
days. but his plans were not suspected.
At the western side of the Enclosure
were hundreds Of bales of hay and
bags of oats and corn for use of the
animals. and the hot sun had dried
the bushes until they were like finder.
One night ST was ready for his fare
well. It was a moonless night, with
the wind blowing strong from the west
and signs of a storm at hand. He had
no goodbys to exchange and very lite
to pack up. 1t isn't at all likely that
a kind word at the last would have al.
tered his plans in the least, but no kind
word greeted his ear. On the contrary,
the captain, who happened to run
across him, squared off and said:
See here, 81. I've got mighty tired
of all this, and I'll give you the straight
tip that if 1 can't get you out Of my
company I'll throw up my commits
sion."
81 only grunted in reply, and half m
hour later he was preparing his sur
prise party. He lodged the guards az
the western side Of the corral and
brought up among the hay, and dve
minutes later a big fame was rising
from the bales. It needed but the smell
and sight Of IRE to STIR up 4 panic
among the horses and mules. In three
Or four minutes they were c1rcl1ng
around the Enclosure In a mad mob,
with shouts Of alarm from all the
guards. Twice the mob tore around
the big field, s~Quealing, kicking and
neighing, and then It headed for q spot
on the eastern side, and the fence went
down with a crash that could be heard
a mile away. The dre caught tho
bushes and followed the horses, and
the horses dashed straight upon tie
camp. A thousand tents were knocked
down and a thousand men injured,
while two or three hundred Of tho AMI
mails came to grief. This was only
half Of Sis plan, however. The dre
swept up to the corral fence, ana tho
flying sparks set tho first tents on fre.
1t was like touching fire to powder.
In ten minutes the 5000 men were
tentless, with the great heaps Of com.
missary stores burning, and more than
500 soldiers were singed and blistered
in fighting their way through the
flames.
There, darn ye. I'm ready to go!
said 81 jackson as he looked down
upon the scene Of the calamity he had
brought about, and he went. Whether
he went north, east south or west no
man knows to this day, as he was
never heard Of after that night

There are special opportunities in the
farming Of muck soils. These areas
ire composed almost entirely Of vege-

well adapted to the growing of celery,
onions and lettuce. While they con-
tain large amounts of nitrogen, it is
hot present in soluble forms SO that
applications of heterogeneous fertilizers
are necessary for the best results,
Muck soils are always deficient in the
mineral elements, and both potash and

SPRAYING ADVICE.
If You Want Apples You Must
Fight Disease.
LIME SULPHUR IS LIKED.

lts Use Has Become General In Recent
Years In Place Of Bordeaux Mixture
and ArssnieaI .Poisons - Various
Sprays For Different Seasons.
In spraying Of apples, especially where
San Jose scale is present, it has been
found that trees must be sprayed at
least once during the dormant season
with a contact insecticide effective in
controlling San Jose scale. Another
spraying must be made as green buds
appear and as blossom clusters sep
arate, but before blossoms open, with
a combined insecticide and fungicide.
Bordeaux mixture and some form Of
arsenical poisons in years past was
the recommended remedy for this Sec
ond spraying.
During the past two or three years
the use Of diluted lime sulphur spray,
using n gallon of the concentrated
commercial mixture testing about 80
degrees Baume to thirty-1ve or forty
gallons Of water and adding to each
6fty gallons Of this dilute mixture two
to three pounds Of arsenate Of lead,
has come into use. This has proved
fully as effective as the bordeaux mix
ture and arsenical combination and at
the same time proved less injurious to
the fruit and foliage.
