CONSERVE THE MANURE
1T RAPIDLY LOSES ITS VALUE IF
NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR.
BY N. r. Miller, Professor Of Aaron
omy, College Of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.

OF the different ways of handling
manure no other Is so saving Of fer
tility as that OF hauling and scatter
ing the manure as 1t is made. This
gives the least possible chance for
loss. either through teaching or fer
montation. 1t is true that there are
millions OF dollars worth Of manure
wasted annually in Missouri through
improper handling. It Is common
and a wasteful practice to pile the
manure out OF doors and haul 1t onto
the fields two or three times year.
Experiments have been made which
show that manure exposed TO the
weather for 100 days may lose half OF
its fertility.
There are at least two good ways of
handling the manure. That OF haul.
ing TO the field directly is one of the
best When the ground is too soft to
haul onto the field, the manure Is
stored under roof.
Another practical method is to al
low the manure to accumulate under

this condition there Is very little loss

this method cannot be recommended.
The manure has lost about one.half
its organic matter and some of its
phosphorus and potassium. II should
be allowed to rot in the soil so as to
save practically all OF its fertllizing
material

Solving the Problem of Fertility.

In the bedding and handled with the
solid manure.
The two common sources Of loss
are by teaching and by fermentation.
The first is prevented by keeping the
manure under shed The second Is
prevented by keeping tn manure moist
or by keeping it compact so the air is
excluded. When a pile of manure
smokes" 1t is losing fertility and
should be scattered or moistened by
pouring water over IL.
AS soon as the farmers know how
much their lands need the manure
and know the conditions which pre-.
vent the manure from losing its fer.
tility, 1t will be handled as carefully
as a crop OF corn or other grain.

The Mil Tax Amendment.

The Improvement of rural schools,

most. This amendment, the mill tax
amendment, provides state tax of 10
cents on the 500 valuation to be used
for the public elementary and high
schools, state normal schools, Lincoln
Institute, and the state university.
Not less than rs per cent is to be
used for elementary and high schools
The system, If adopted, will put
our schools on firmer basis. They
will have q certain amount Of money
for their use. This will be about the
same as at present, but will be con.

the day was ideal and the grounds
in perfect condition. The game

Umpire, Elmer Evans and for seven
long innings not a man succeeded
in crossing the home plate. Per-
feet ball was being played by both
teams and the fans were sure get
ting their moneys worth. Not only
were the batterys doing splendid
work, but they were being perfectly
supported by both infeld and out

freely talked among the rooters

home team succeeded in punching
their hits and assisted by an over
throw by the visitors got two men
across the home plate and the
game was won.
