interspersed with solos, selections
by the choir, and a hymn, America, 3
in which the entire assemblage Join
ed Mr.. Lemann spoke feelingly and
with characteristic eloquence, and
the addresses of Messrs, Schwartz,
Shapiro and Well were also gems of
oratory. Mr.. Schwartz in particular
delivered a very fine lecture, and

BY PROF. 0. LLOYD JONES,
Colleqe of Agriculture.

Ii is estimated that the waste OF
farm manure in Wisconsin amounts TO
$50. 100000 for every year, This waste
has three chief causes-loss OF liquid
manure. hot fermentation and leach
ing
The escape of the liquid manure is
the greatest single source of loss.
The urine contains practically all of
the nitrogen, over four-ftths of the pot
ash. and practically none of the phos-
phorus. The liquid part contains over
one-half the total fertility and, pound
for pound, is far more valuable than
the solid portion, On the other hand,
its bulk is small. its escape is silent
and unseen, making Indifference to-
wards it easy, Fortunately this loss Is
comparatively easy to combat. An alb
solutely water-tight gutter and plenty
of absorbent litter will save it all. II
the litter used is not sufficient to alb
sorb all, vat or reservoir must be
provided for its storage-a more cum
bersome and in most cases more ex-
pensive method than the former.
Losses by hot fermentation fall en-.
tirely on the most valuable part, the
nitrogen. This loss is due to a chem
ical process caused by certain bac-
terra. To prevent this heating" we
must prevent the growth of the bac-
terra causing it. and this Is a simple
matter. We inhibit stored potatoes
from growing by keeping light away

deprive them of afr 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 Silagc is
packed, and all air space not filled
with manure must be occupied by Wa
ter, not air, When horse and COW ma.
nure are mixed there Is ample moist

as possible-in winter weather
Loss by teaching means the solv.

an exposed manure pile. Loss by this
source is yet shamefully prevalent in
this state. 1t is not becoming wet

as we have seen, a high water content
of the pile insures against losses by

of from pile that damage is done
Water never leaves a manure pile
without taking tribute. Fertilizers are
more valuable as they are soluble, that
is available" for plant food, therefore
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 a roof. II manure Is to be stored
in the summer, however, this would
make necessary an artificial source of
water to wet down the pile occasion.
ally. The open cement pit Is cheaper,
and perhaps. all things considered, is
as effectual. Much can be done, how
ever. by building proper pile, though
fully exposed to the weather. 1t should
have perpendicular sides, fiat or

deep enough so that the heaviest rains
will not drain through the bottom.

BY E. J. DELWICHE,
Wisconsin Experiment Station.

There was time when it was
question in the minds of most people
if corn could be grown in northern
Wisconsin. Today. however, we can
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
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
10 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 II will not carry much mois-
ture when freezing weather comes
Experiments have shown that seed
corn can stand very low temperatures
provided It is sufficiently dry.
Soil for corn should be we'll 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 a stand is due
to poor drainage. Water-clogged soil
takes 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 70 the drainage
OF their corn fields AS a 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 10 get hard early In
spring, II Is well to give il a thorough
disking This will also help 10 warm
up the soil, cover up grasses and
we4ds, and hasten the decomposition
