mails fed different feeding stuffs. Let
us take corn silage, corn stover, and
corn meal
Corn silage contains l pound Of
phosphoric acid, as pounds of nitro
gen and 81 pounds OF potassium: corn

81 pounds of nitrogen, and 10,9 pounds
of potassium; and corn meal 63

i've feeding stuffs.
Counting the value of nitrogen at IS
cents per pound, phosphoric acid at
5 cents, and potassium at cents per
pound, we find the value of the ma
nurial constituents OF a ton Of corn
silage is $202S. of a ton of corn stover,
$S.666, or more than the usual price
of the corn stover in certain sections,
and of a ton of corn meal, Sc
II ton of corn silage be fed to
fattening steer, he will return in ma
nure SIG pounds of nitrogen and 469
pounds of phosphoric acid and potas-
stun. The value of these constituents
is SLIP. The same feed fed to COW
in milk would return in the manure
649 pounds of nitrogen and 4.3 pounds
Of phosphoric acid and potassium. In
this case, the value of the manurial
constituents amounts to $1.3S.
The value of the constituents from a
sheep fed the same amount would be
$171.
While the steer returns 22.6 per
cent. of the nitrogen in his solid drop
pings. the sheep returns only 1861 per
per cent and the COW 1871 per cent.
People sometimes argue that the
manure from the dairy COW is richer
than that from the steer So 1t will
be If the cow Is fed feeds, such as
oil meal. cottonseed meal. bran, all
falfa and clover hay. which are high
in fertilizing constituents and the
steer is forced to feed on such as
timothy hay and corn slower, which
are low in these constituents An ar
gument Is also put up that sheep ma
nure is of greater value than manure
from the steer. This is true because
the manure from the sheep contains
more dry matter
In 1000 pounds of fresh solid COW
manure there are 100 pounds of dry
matter. There are 42O pounds of dry
matter IN an equal amount of fresh
sheep manure
OF the dry matter in the cows ma
nure i.S per cent is nitrogen and 15
per cent. is phosphoric acid OF the
dry matter In sleeps manure 17S
per cent. is nitrogen and 142 per
cent is phosphoric acid. Accord
ing to these figures, it would appear
that the dry matter In the cows ma.
nure was at least as valuable as that
from the sheep. Fresh sheep manure
is higher in dry matter and thus rich.
er in the fertilizing constituents than
the manure from the steer or COW, but
this is compensated for by the fact
that for 100 pounds Of dry matter in
the feed the COW excretes 3S4 pounds
of fresh manure and the sheep only
1873 pounds. or not more than half as
much fresh manure

A New York dentist advocates
laughing gas as substitute for the

this, the least dangerous of anesthet-

Fill Mines With Sand.

The owners of many mines in Eur
ope and Australia fill the abandoned
workings with sand, so that the mines
may become once more a part of the
solid crust of the earth. Old worked
out mines are often menace to build
ings or communities above them; and
protection by timbering. which is the
American method, affords security for
no great length of time. Sand filling
has been practiced in the mines Of
western Australia for the last four-
teen years. w H. Storms. writing
in the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal, says that the cost in Australia is
about 20 cents for each ton of ore ex-
tracted.

The table shows that a fattening
steer returns in the excrement over
96 per cent. of the fertilizing mate
rial in his feed, while the calf only
about 80 per cent of the nitrogen and
IS per cent of the ash in its ration
1t should also be noticed that over
three times as much of the nitrogen
(the most valuable element) appears
in the urine as appears in the solid
excrement. The wisdom and economy
of preserving as much of the liquid
manure of the farm animals as posi-

INFORMATION ABOUT BERRIES

Mrs. HI. w. P, of Rainier, Oregon,
wants some information about berry
growing. 49, -.... ..... .. .
First, she is informed that the best
berry growers find no difficulty in
transporting the Evergreen black
berry. In doing this they cut out all
but the last years growth of vines
and cut this down to about four or
six feet, taking care to get good
supply Of earth when transporting.
Ii she does this she will have no diff
Guilty. The roots can be divided, but
preferably not. The best growers
place the rows of berries north and
south when possible. For the reason
that the sun strikes the rows better
and they ripen more uniformly. In
this section growers have not been
successful with the phenomenal for
the reason that it has a shorter ripen-
ing season and thus produces fewer
berries than the logan. The logan
berry and the raspberry ripen practi-
cally at the same time, and require
the same amount Of moisture. They
are. IN fact, less trouble to the grower
than the raspberry. We believe the
loganbeIry is going to be one of the
most profitable berries grown for the
reason that it is big, hardy berry
and has grown in popularity.

The answer to the "Call OF the
Soil'' was heard at the United States
Land Show, which opened Saturday,
November 23rd at the Chicago Coli
scum, bringing to crystalization the
"Back to the Land" movement in
America.
The exposition presented a pano.
rama of America, it's fertile fields,
gardens and groves spread out like a
miniature Garden of Eden.
Thousands of visitors, all more or
less land hungry, and DESTROYS OF
"owning part of the United States, -
crowded into the big show place for
a personally conducted tour of Uncle
Sans empire. The show not only
brought the land to the people, but
brought the people to the land.
The Land Show, which was founded
by the Chicago Tribune in 1909, is
now under new management, a
corporation, all the stock of which
is owned by officials Of the Tribune.
The show this year represented a
years constant effor and the expendl-
ture of many thousand dollars. But
the result was spectac ular and
beautiful display, setting forth pict-
uresquely the almost eXhaustless re.
sources of Mother Earth.
To the success of the Land Show,
Boards of Trade, Commercial associa-
tions, great railroads, and state and
national governments of the United
States and Canada contributed.
From the south poured in carloads
OF golden oranges and grape fruits;
from the middle west, the yield OF
the yellow wheat and corn fields, and
from the Pacific slope, the yield OF
the vineyards and apple orchards.
The exposition was, in fact, the
embodiment of the thanksgiving
spirit of the American people in ap-
probation of the $40, 900, 600, 900 crop
which the land has brought forth this
year.
But it was not exclusively a note
of thanksgiving that was struck The
more thoughtful visitor was impress

ed with the necessity of conserving
our great national wealth, and of
making the land produce even more.
This idea was emphasized by the
University of Illinois in the form of
lectures by professors of the agricul-
tural college on such topics as soil
conservation and intensive farming.
Uncle Sans display was among the
most interesting. Good roads models
showed how town and country had
been brought closer together. An
erosion model exhibited by the
forestry department, taught a lesson
of soil waste caused by the denuda
ton of our forests. The weather
bureau showed what the government
is doing to keep the farmer informed
as to rainfall and climatic conditions
in all parts of the country.
Other special exhibits dealt with
farm machinery, modern giants of
iron and steel that are converting
virgin soil into areable land, and
accomplishing the work of many men
and horses.
The Canadian exhibit included an
illustrated "travelogue' through the
great timber regions of the northwest,
showing by animated pictures the
process of telling giant trees and con-
verting them into building material.
The vanishing west was represented
by colony of Blackfoot Indians from
the Glacier Park reservation, who ex
ecuted their war dances and sun
dances, and performed their native
rites; a collection of mounted wild
animals from the Rocky mountains
and Montana's celebrated cowboy
band.
The program provided for number
of special days, the most important
being:
Nov "a, German day.
Nov. 20, Children's day.
Dec. l, Polish and Bohemian day.
Dec. 4, Scandinavian day.
1t was announced that any Germans,
Polish, Bohemians Or Scandinavians
arriving in the peasant costume on
their respective days would receive
free admission.
