STORE MANURE FOR GARDENS
Practice Of F%ertilizing Every Year
Late In Fall or in Spring Is Not
Always for the Best.

A common practice is to manure the
garden every year late in the fall or
before planting in the spring, no fur
Their attention being given. This prac-
tice, however, is not the best.
The mi for the garden should
be kept in a large box with a lid or
so screened that flies cannot enter 1t.
Manure heaps are the natural breed
ing places Of these pests, and II they
are allowed to remain near the house
uncovered will prove a great nuisance.
A good plan is to use a very close
wire screen nailed to a frame with
hinges for the top. The manure
should be spaded often on the top so
that the water from the clouds or the
sprinkling pot may penetrate to every
part of it.
If kept in a box a spout should be
placed in one corner at the bottom, SO
hat the water may drain into a sunken
barrel.
This will supply liquid manure
which can be used at all seasons when
vegetables and flowers are growing.

CEDAR MAKES BEST FENCING
Fence Built of That Material Still
Standing After Forty Years Of
Continuous Service.

/ know Of a fence in our neighbor-
hood that is still standing after 40
years OF continuous service. The
posts were made of cedar, charred
to six inches above the ground and
every n is still we'll preserved. An
other fence of which the posts were
not charred, decayed completely after
SO years. Oak and chestnut posts
are not as durable as cedar, however,
even If charred. Some Of the oak
posts we buy these days will not last
ten years and it is a pretty expensive
fence that has to be renewed every
ten years. Speaking Of fences, / won
der what We are going to do about
the wire that some manufacturers
are sending out. A great deal of 1t is
made of good material and will stand
long wear, but some Of 1t IS far from
being what II should. I suppose ii is
all a question of the honesty Of the
manufacturer and it is up to us to
discover the one who makes honest
goods. The experiment stations,
some Of which spend much time and
work a~nalyzing stock foods and fer
tilizers might find a ripe field In test

WERE ADDING FUEL TO FIRE
Sailors Not aware Of Error They
Were Committing in Pouring
Water on the Lime.

The crew of the British steamer
Harrington. which is now discharging
a huge cargo of coal for Uncle Sam
at California City. had an exciting
lesson in chemistry on arriving here
from Norfolk. Shortly after dropping
anchor OF Meiggs wharf a launch
came alongside. This launch brought
cut a quantity Of provisions and 9TH
er articles that had been ordered by
the agent OF the steamer some days
before its arrival.
Some lime was needed for various
purposes on the big freighter and one
barrel Of the white stuff was among
the supplies taken out on the launch.
The barrel was among the first cargo
put on the steamer from the little
boat alongside. There was quite a
swell on at the time and through a
little opening IL the barrel as ii re-
posed on deck the spray sprinkled the
inclosed lime until the swollen con
tents loosened some Of the joints of
the barrel. When the sailors lowered
the barrel into the forward hold the
sizzling and smoking were really on.
In alarm they rushed 10 the officer on
deck ard told him there must be a
fire. as volumes of hite smoke were
curling their way up from the hold.
The officer. supposedly much wiser,
was just as ~perturbed at the situa-
! tion as his men and ordered a spray
ing from a hose on the line. The
more water it received the more the
lime smoked and the crew rushed
about to get auxiliary fire apparatus
At just the height of the hurly'
burly the chief engineer came or
deck. He took in the situation at a
glance.
What are you darn fools doing
anyway? Trying to drown US all?"
The hose brigade was quickly
called off and the lime got no more

Points of a Good Breeding Ram.

too large for his breed. He should pos

ity. and masculinity. This is shown
BY a short broad head, large nostrils
and bold. clear eyes. He should be
active and vigorous with a strong. rug

obtain more pounds and consequently
more profit
Masculinity and trueness to breed
type are two very important factors
in the selection of a sire. The chier
reason being that they are indicative
of the animals power to transmit his
own characteristics. A strong, bold
masculine outlook is an important
point in selecting a sire and If he
furthermore is true to the type or
the breed to which he belongs it is
an indication that he and his forbears
have been carefully bred and selected
to represent the approved type. we
then to a limited degree conclude that
he will transmit the desired charac-
teristics.
Constitution is another factor which
is %self-evident In it's importance. NO
farmer desires to raise a strain or
animals which are constitutionally
weak. Therefore, in selecting a sire,
we emphasize depth and width or
chest, strength of middle, boldness OF
action and clearness and fulness OF
eye.
The last named fundamental, per
formance, is one which usually of ne
cessity must be omitted in the selec'
ton Of a sire. BY performance we
mean the tried and successful ability
OF the sire to transmit desirable char
acteristics. Such sires are difficult to
obtain.
1t is most certain that the tried
sire is the safest bargain that a be
obtained. II the tried sire cannot be
obtained, then one with the correct
conformation and one which at the
same time shows in his pedigree 9
line of successful parents. grandpa
rents and great grandparents shoul6
be purchased.

as high in between these two rails as
we can without their sliding over them.
We then cover these piles with a layer
of hay from one to two feet thick;
using the NEST on top and laying it
so that it will shed rain. In the fall as
frosty weather comes on, we dig holes,
from two to three feet deep and from
eight to twelve feet in diameter, on
high w~elLdrained ground. The bottom

There are three chief fundamentals
TO govern one in the selection OF a
sire, namely: individuality, pedigree
and performance. The question or
whether individuality or pedigree is
OF more Importance in the choosing
OF an animal for breeding purposes, is
one which has caused considerable
controversy among livestock men in
the past. However. 1t Is a question
which must be compromised rather
than definitely decided one way or the
other. 1t is certain that the wise
breeder will emphasize both the in
dividuality and the pedigree when
purchasing sires.
In considering the individuality of
a sire, there are a few points which
must be especially emphasized. These
are in the main as follows: conforma-
ton, size, masculinity, constitution
and trueness to breed type.
Conformation should be emphasized,
for 1t Is in this that we look for much

for q conformation or build which
when the animal is killed and dressed
will yield the highest per cent. OF
beef and the lowest per cent. of waste
1t Is in the conformation that we
look for strength of bone, straightness
and smoothness of lines and symme
try of body, all of which are conducive
to a high dressing per cent.
Il is self-evident that size is an i'm
portant factor In the selection of {
sire. In the breeding of farm animal:
especially those designed for mear
purposes. size is simply a factor o
profit. That Is so long as quality l:
not sacrificed for 1t. Therefore. it i:
important that we demand size tt
