impressed with his own impor-
lance, and one night soon after
his arrival he found an oppor-
tuuity to make a speech at a. so

Fellow citizens of my adopted
state of Kansas: A few years
ago I was a member of the Him
OILS Legislature"
An old farmer rose right here
and interrupted.
''Of course" he said, 1T is
right and proper for the new
brother to let US know about his
past life and what he has done;
but / want to say, if he has lived
a decent and honest life since his
term expired nobody round here
will throw up the past to him!"

Manure Losses.

An Iowa correspondent writes:
PLEASE give me the relative
value of fresh manure, and ma.
nure after II has gone through 4
heating process and has turned
white. Does the burning reduce
the humus value of the manure?"
The fermentation and burning
through which manure goes
when exposed in the open pile
cause losses of humus and nitro
gen. Just how much these loss
es may amount to varies a great
deal, but under average farm
conditions we estimate that from
one-half to one-third of the hui
mus is destroyed after the ma
nure has been three months In a
pile. The nitrogen loss under
the same conditions, for an equal
length of time, we would esti-
mate at about one-third.
In an Ohio experiment they
put manure In piles in the barn.
yard in January. They anal
yzed them at that time, and
then three months later, in April.
The analyses indicated that the
loss of organic matter (humus)
was SO per cent; of nitrogen, 30
per cent; of phosphorus, "a per
cent; and of potassium, So per
cent. The phosphorus and po'
tassium were lost by teaching,
not by fermentation and burning.
One pile of manure to which
finely ground rock phosphate had
been added at the rate of 40 lbs.
per ton, did not lose nearly so
rapidly. The loss of organic
matter was only II per cent;
phosphorus, II per cent; potas-
stun, 50 per cent; nitrogen. 30
per cent.
Pound for pound, manure which
has been fermented or fire-fanged,
is generally worth more than
fresh manure, especially for gar.
den crops. 1t is more condensed,
because a large part of the crude
fiber, of the straw, ETC., has been
destroyed by fermentation.
So far as possible, manure
should always be hauled on the
land as soon as made. When
this is not possible, it should be
put in piles tightly packed and
kept moist. Manure in loose,
dry piles will nearly always fire.
1t is an excellent plan in keeping
manure in piles to add finely
ground rock phosphate at the
rate of fifty pounds to each ton.
-Wallaces' Farmer.

Soil
Fertility.

It is a mistake to farm on the
theory that crop rotation is the
only essential to the maintenance
of soil fertility. 1t is true that
an intelligent rotation Of crops
will generally result in increased
yields, but unless the rotation in
cludes one of the legumes or the
land is heavily fertilized with
manure, the rotation will really
mean depletion. Rotation will
have the effect of increasing the
yield for a period of years and an
increased yield naturally draws
heavily upon the plant food ele-
ment of the soil. Continued crop
ping exposes the land to various
weaknesses of the particular
crop that is grown, and as no
two crops extract the same pro-
portion of plant food, the contin-
ually grown crop is bound to les
sen the available fertility of one
or more of the pricipal soil con-
stituents. Rotation has the eff
feet of making available all of
the plant food element, and as
the average soil is generally well
supplied with fertile material,
depletion will come that much
sooner unless proper steps are
taken to maintain the principal
soil ingredients, says Missouri
and Kansas Farmer.
When crops are grown in rota-
ton and proper tillage methods
are followed, they will suffer less
from dry weather than when
they are grown continually.
Crop rotation is usually of more
importance than the method of
tillage used in this respect, al
though both are important. We
should never lose sight of the
fact that the soil must be we'll
supplied with organic matter.
Humus is absolutely necessary to
the soil to make plant food avail
able. If you are practicing Crop
rotation, do not fail to include
one or more of the legumes. Oc-
casionally a mineral fertilizer
will be of material assistance in
maintaining soil fertility. Some
one has said that commercial
fertilizer is good for the farmer
but bad for the son." meaning
thereby that the commercial fer
tilizer does not supply the soil
with humus necessary 20 its CON.
