FORM OF THE POLAND. CHINA
Good Sow Should Possess Shoulders
of Great Depth and Fair Width,
With Ribs Well Sprung.

A good Poland-China SOW, says a
breeder, should have shoulders Of
great depth and fair width, the ribs
well sprung to give room for the vital
organs, and for this same reason the
breast bone should be set low down,
and be wide, filling out the sunken
places just back of the front legs, or
shoulders so noticeable In scrubs.
The hips should come forward and
connect to the backbone near enough
to the shoulders, so that the connect
ing point is a little short of midway
of the entire distance from the Shout
der, to the rear of the ham, thereby
making strong back with good,
stout coupling, and giving great top
and fore length to the ham.
This shape Of hams and back will
give deep, full sides with great length
Of lower line when we'll let down In
the TANKS, enabling the SOW to carry
a good-sized litter without getting no
stuffy and clumsy.

to be hoped that the fact is not only
remembered by those who look tor

" rivalry and competition between
neighbours and farmers is both a
healthy sign and source of proht
to them, for it is along the line OF
stimulus and ambition that leads
to best effort.

are simyly mistaken and ought to

VALUABLE FARM BY.PRODUCT
Many Farmers Neglect to Care for
Manure and Spend Their Money
for Commercial Fertilizer.
RY w II KEI .SEY !

lBy w. II. KELSEY
In spite OF all that has been writ
ten telling OF the value of stable
manure there are many farmers who
still neglect to care for this valuable
by-product Of the farm and spend
their money for commercial fertilizer.
l do not wish to discourage the use
Of commercial fertilizer, but it should
never be used until the stable manure
Is first taken care of and applied to
the soil, IL there is not sufficient
manure to meet the demands OF the
farm crops the deficiency should be
supplied by using commercial fertil-
iZer.
1t Is rather difficult to estimate the
value of stable manure in dollars and
cents as commercial fertilizers are
valued, since the stable manure ADDS
much valuable humus to the soil as
well as direct plant food and the COM
mercial fertilizer Is valued for the
direct plant food alone.
Dr. Altman says that the humus OF
the stable manure is worth quite as
much to the soil as the direct plant
food. Valuing the phosphoric acid at
five cents per pound, the potash at
five cents per pound and the nitrogen
at Is cents per pound fair average
value of the stable manure may be
estimated as follows:
10 pounds nitrogen at Is cents. .$l.5O
10 pounds potash at S cents..... 5O
s pounds phosphoric acid at 8
cents rs
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1912-07-26
$2.25

Then II we add the value OF the
humus, commission charged by agents
and freight on commercial fertilizers
we may still be conservative when We
double the commercial value OF the
manure and count a ton of we'll
cared for stable manure worth $3.50
to the farm.
Its value Is not appreciated because
1t is a by-product and because farm
ers have fallen into the habit OF neg
lecting to properly care for the man
ure and apply 1t judiciously.
The manure when allowed to &C.
cumulate about the stables is in the
way and is a repulsive, bad-smelling
product, but when drawn to the field
and distributed over the soil by means
of spreaders 1t is out OF the way and
Is also preparing the soil to grow
large crop.
