BURNING STRAW
A SERIOUS WASTE.
Valuable as Bedding, Feed and
Fertilizer.

Straw is too valuable to burn, says
the Kansas Industrialist. The total
value Of the fertilizing constituents OF
a ton of straw is 1920. When ton Of
straw Is burned the nitrogen lost Is
worth $1.44. The phosphorus and p0-
tassium remain in the ash.
The best way to utilize straw Is to
use it as bedding. 1t will absorb the
liquid, which contains most of the nitro
gen excreted from the animal body.
Some farmers will say that they have
more straw than they can use to ad-
vantage for bedding. Never be afraid
to use plenty Of bedding, as domestic
animals enjoy dry sleeping quarters
and will thrive better II they have
them. Then haul out the manure. By
this method you not only get the full
fertilizing value Of the straw and the
manure, but you also add large
amount Of humus to the soil.
Some straw may be used for feed.
Stock cattle will consume large
amounts Of bright straw, especially
oat straw. Mature horses doing little
or no work in the winter may be kept
in good condition by feeding a ration
Of grain, oats, straw and little hay.

Secret Of Winter Eggs.

Make your henhouse warm and
cheerful. just as nearly like spring as
you can. and the hens will not stop
laying when cold weather comes, Com
Portable quarters, says W. A. Lippin-
colt. professor Of poultry husbandry ut
the Kansas Agricultural college, is the
secret of getting winter eggs. The
house should he tight on three sides
and open on the south, so as to give
good ventila ton and plenty Of sunlight
and also proven, drafts.
Feed the fowls plenty of green food,
such as beers. sprouted oats, cabbage
and steamed alfalfa. They should also
have meat food or skimmilk to take
the place of the insects and worms
which they get in the summer and to
balance the corn ration
Provide Il dust bath or wallOw in a
sunny spot. Keep the birds active by
making them scratch for their food IL
straw or similar material and they will
not mind the cold so much. This is i'm
portant. A her that doesn't have to
work to get its food will likely get fat,
and fat hen doesn't lay eggs.

Frenchman. He was determined, how
ever. that In cookery. as in other

YOSEMITE VALLEY.

Stream Erosion and Glaciers Bored the
Wonderful Gorge.
That the wonderful gorge known as
both the action of streams and Of gla-
ciers IL the conclusion reached In a
publication entitled sketch Of YO-
semitic National Park" issued by the
department Ut the interior.
Professor j. ID. Whitney. the 6rst
scientist to study the Sierra, thought
the deeply incased character Of the
Yosemite valley to be the result Of the
sinking Of local block Of the earth's
crust. ha ring the exact outlines OF the
valley. Glaciers. he stOutly asserted,
had never so much as entered 1t. Ga
len Clark believed the valley to have
originated by the exploding of num-
her Of close set domes Of molten rock,
subsequent stream and Ice erosion
smoothing out the chasm to its present
form. Professor Silliman considered
the Yosemite as a great rupture caus-
ed by subterranean forces-a rent later
partly filed with rock debris.
Clarence King was the first to point
out the prominent role which the ice
of the glacial epochs must have play
ed in the elaboration of the Yosemite
valley. John Muir goes further and
holds that the Yosemite, like all the
canyons and other features Of the Sler-
ri Nevada. was sculptured almost
wholly by ancient glaciers. In con-
trast to this view Is that of II. w.
Turner and several others. according
to whom the Yosemite is nothing but
II stream cut valley which has suffer
ed little II any modification ut the
hands Of the Ice. but which owes much
Of it's peculiar shaping to the influence
Of the strong vertical joints displayed
in it's walls.
Willard d. Johnson. a close student
Of ice erosion. considers the Yosemite
and Fetch Hetchy valleys to be prod
ucts Of stream erosion. subsequently
widened by the characteristic sapping
action Of the ice. Others. notably e.
G. Andrews Of New South Wales and
Douglas W. Johnson. have followed.
all uniting IN attributing considerable
Importance to glacial erosion. but diff
fering somewhat In their estimates of
the amount of work they believe
should be assigned to 1t.
The most probable explanation Is
that the Yosemite and Hetch Hetchy
valleys both have been developed
through stream erosion and have later
been greatly deepened and enlarged
by repeated ice invasi0ns; further. that
they owe their strangely clean cut,
moat-like forms and the diversified
sculpturing of their cliffs to the struc.
ture Of the country rock. which con.
trolled the action Of the eroding agent.
