Manure as Good as Bank

One of the experiment stations-Penn-
svlvana-made valuable experiment
with manure. 1t was found that manure
when spread on the field as fast as made,
suffered little loss of its fertilzing con-
stituents, though less than two fifths of
the dry matter of the feed and bedding
was recovered in the manure.
Manure that was thrown out and kept
in a covered shed lost one-third of its
nitrogen, one fifth of its potash and one
seventh of its phosphoric acid.
Only one-third of the dry matter of
food and litter was recovered i'll the ma
nure. The potash and pliosphoric acid
probably escaped by seepage of the liquid
manure into the clay bottom.
The nitrogen was volatilized and es-
capped into the air i'll the form of carbon
ate of ammonia.
The money value of the fertilizing CON
stituents lost in the covered shed as com
pared with manure left to be trampled
down was equivalent to 2. 50 for each
steer fed for six months
Hence it is found that if there is a
tight floor and abundant bedding that
can be trampled into compact mass the
manure loses very little, if any, of its
fertilizing value so long as the animals
remain on it,
Therefore this method is very much
superior to the piling in a covered shed.
But when this trampled manure is taken
ont do not pile it to heat and waste, but
haul it at once to the field where plants
are waiting for it.
The whole process depends on the
complete tramping TO exclude the air
and to prevent the carbonation of am
nonia.
But whenever it is practicable it is bet
ter to haul out and spread the manure
as fast as it is made for there is less loss
Of its value living spread on the land
than in any other way.
If the potash and phosphoric acid leach
out they will be absorbed and retained
by the soil until plants call for them.
and as there is no fermentation the nj
trogen will he retained in the organic
matter until notification takes place
after it is buried i'll the soil.

Grading the Swine

Grade the hogs as to size, thrift and
general condition and separate them into
two or three lots before beginning to
feed them for the market. You will
thus realize greater profits from the sale
of swine, since each herd will be more
uniform in size and condition. Besides,
each lot of hogs may be fed more eco
nomically. since what meets the needs
OF some will not meet the needs of all

Separating Unthrifty Animal:

If YOU have a bunch of hogs feeding
or growing together and one begins to
show even slight signs of unthriftiness,
separate him from the others at once.
1t is likely to be good for him, and it
will certainly be safer for the others.

Wood Ashes Benefit

On average soils, fruits and vegetables
are benefited by liberal applications of
wood ashes. and remarkable results have
been obtained by the use of ashes on
lugumen crops, especially clover and
alfalfa.

Feed for Cow

In a year the average dairy COW, pro-
ducing in the neighborhood of 5000 or
5000 pounds of milk, requires about
$500 pounds of roughage, 900 pounds of
farm grains, $50 pounds of mill feed
and 100 days on pasture.

One of the curiosities OF the west is
the walled lake" something over a
hundred miles west of Dubuque, la
This lake is from two to three fee,
higher than the earth's surface In
some places the wall Is ten feet high
fifteen feet wide at the bottom and
FIVE feet on top. A remarkable cir
cumstance with reference to this odd
lake is the size of the stones used in
it's construction. inasmuch as the whole
Of them varies In weight from three
tons to 100 pounds. There is abun
dance of stones in Wright county, but
surrounding the lake to the extent OF
five or ten miles there are none.
No one has any idea as to the means
employed TO bring these stones to the
spot or as to who constructed this lake
Around the entire lake is a belt OF
woodland half a mile in length com.
posed of oak With this exception the
country is a rolling prairie The trees
must have been planted there at the
time of the building of the wall In
the spring of the year 1856 there was
a great storm. and the Ice on the lake
broke the wall In several places. The
farmers in the vicinity were obliged t.
repair the damages to prevent inunda
ton. The lake occupies ground sur
face Of $500 acres The depth of the
water is as great as twenty -five feet
The water is clear and cold: the sol
is sandy and loamy. 1t is singular
fact that no one has been able to as
certain where the water comes from
nor where it goes. yet it is always
fresh and clear.-New York Press.

The islanders Give q Warm Welcome
to Millionaire Candidates.
The island of Corsica. although a
part of the republic of France, is
quite different In it's customs from the
republic and never ceases to furnish
reading matter out of the ordinary
for the Partisan journals. The Corsi-
cans have, 1t appears. decided pen
chant for millionaire candidates for
the chamber of deputies and are al
ways on the lookout for this admira-
Bile material. Yet there Is between
them and the millIonaires a singular
misapprehension. The islanders de-
sire that millionaires be candidates
because of the mamma that falls upon
their country during an electoral CAM
paign, but they do not desire to elect
them. AS for the millionaIres, they
are perfectly willing to spread the
mamma. but they also wish to be
elected.
