MANURE
FOR VEGETABLES
Fertilizer Should Be Hauled Out
and Built Up in Compact
Heaps in Field.

Manure for spring grains and early
vegetables must be hauled and built
up in heaps, consisting Of alternate
layers Of horse manure, cattle manure
and manure from the hog pens; cover
each layer of manure with rich earth;
make the heap about eight or ten feet
in width, sixfeet in height and as long
az wanted. The drainage from the
pile should be pumped over 1t from
time to time. The urine will start
fermentation and by spring the entire
mass will become well rotted and in
fine condition for spreading In the
drills for early vegetables or for broad
casting for small grain.
This is the method followed by mar
ket gardeners and truckers: A
large part Of the manure for the truck
farms comes from the city. This ma
nure is hauled during the winter and
composted with leaf mold, dried
muck, earth from the head lands and
other vegetable matter. Land plaster
is spread over each layer of manure
to hold the ammonia. The richness
of the manure may be increased by
spreading 25 pounds of finely ground
animal bone meal over each load of
manure as 1t is piled. The bone meal
acts quicker when rotted.
A number of truckers use fine
ground Florida rock to mix with the
manure: the two together is said to
give a compost at low cost and oil
special value to spread In the rows
for peas, beans and early corn.
Manure from granted horses should
be composted between layers OF cat
tie or hog manure, heavily plastered
and top and sides of heap covered
with six inches of earth to prevent
| loss Of ammonia. II thrown In 8

and IL necessary, narrowed a second
time before planting Broom corn Is
a good sod crop.
Broomcorn plants are very tender
and make the most rapid growth in
warm weather. They will not stand
the cold of early spring like corn. The
seed will rot before terminating. or If
the plant terminates the growth will
be retarded by continued cold.
When large areas are planted the
most convenient way is to divide the
field into sections Ok about ten acres
each and plant at intervals of about a
week. The crop demands prompt at
tention. and If this system of planting
is followed there Is not so much dan
ger OF damage to the brush from rain,
or becoming too ripe.
In case farm hands are scarce the
scarcity is not so keenly felt, for there
is not a very large crop that demands
attention within a period of few
days. A few hands can take care OF
| comparatively large fields and 1t IL
much more convenient than to plant
the whole field on b single date.
The method OF planting is about the
same as for Kaffir corn. Plant in rows
\ about three feet apart, and four to five
inches apart in the row. The Stand
ard, due to its large growth, Is planted
in rows about three and a half fee
apart.

FATAL DISEASE OF
OLD CORNSTALKS
Corn Belt Farmers Have Expert
enced Much Loss of Live
Stock From Ailment.

Farmers in the corn belt, especially
in the middle and upper Mississippi
valley, have, at various periods -ex
perienced loss OF cattle pastured on
standing cornstalks after the corn
has been harvested in the autumn
An element of mystery has sur
rounded the death of cattle in these
instances. The disease is character
lied by very rapid course; In fact,
very commonly there are no Fremont
tory symptoms, and 1t is not unusual
for the owner upon visiting the field
in the morning to find one or more fat
cattle dead which on the previous
evening were apparently in excellent
health.
Another popularity of the disease
Is that losses may occur on one farm
or in one field while cattle on an ad-
Joining farm or In an adjacent field
may be free from the affection.
Various investigators In the past
have attempted I'd discover some germ
or organism or some toxic substance
which might be determined as the
cause of this condition, but thus far
the cause of the disease has not been
established.
As death OF stock from this affec-
ton is generally sudden and there is
little opportunity for treatment, ami
mails should not be turned into field
with standing stalks.
AS a matter of fact the disease may
be actually prevented by cutting the
stalks early and only feeding them
after they have been carefully cured
and removed from the field. Losses
from feeding on standing cornstalki
emphasize the economic value of cut
ting the corn and feeding the stalks
In the barnyard or corral, or. better
still, shredding The dry stalks, undel
which condition they may be fed with
the least possible waste.

The principal crops of broomcorn
are raised in Kansas, Oklahoma and
southern Illinois, although this crop
will grow in other sections OF the
country where soil and climatic condi
tons are favorable.
1t is a profitable crop as the price
per ton for the brush usually ranges
$4,000 for the lower grades that are
damaged by weather, and up to $3.50
and over for the very best.
In the southwest it is becoming
more important as foliage crop and
1t is used to considerable extent after
the brush has been removed. The
seed has small feeding value
The two best types OF broomcorn
grown in the southwest particularly is
the Dwarf and the Standard. The
Dwarf is much liked because it grows
only from four to six inches high with
brush of from IL to 20 inches long
however, this type is better suited to
the semi-arid regions and to the up
lands of the broomcorn section in the
southwest. The Dwarf is used a great
deal in southern Illinois and Other
middle states where 1t Is grown in
small quantities.
1'he soil should be plowed in the fal
or early in the winter so that it will
retain as much moisture as possible
About two weeks before planting the
land should be disked and narrowed

caponIzIna Fowls.

The large breeds are best for cap
onizing. A few months old capon is
no better than q cockerel. A capon
will more readily put on fat and get
large and prime after maturity. The
object of caponizing is to secure
quality and size. but quality is the
most important. Age does not impair
a capon as 1t does a cockerel. provid
ed the bird is not kept longer than q
year and half
Capons will have to mature before
they can get much flesh, and for that
reason they cannot be sold while

1t sometimes happens that farmers
are In possession OF extra good cows,
but not realizing the araount OF feed
required by cows giving a large yield,
they are soon allowed to shrink in
milk because the feed given does not
provide sufficient nutriment While
cows in good condition can. for a
time. give more milk than the feed pro
vides. by drawing upon the fat stored
in the body, YET II the grain is not
gradually increased as the cows lose
in body weight. there will soon follow
an abnormal shrinkage in milk flow
and also a DECREASE in the quality OF
milk yielded.

such dinner it was, chicken, cut
flowers, ferns and so many other good
things decked the tables. What was
most appreciated, though perhaps,
were the souvenirs at each place,
made by the "boys' themselves. Mr..
Goodsell was presented with buffalo
horn cane and each Of the girls with
a buffalo horn button hook. We did
justice to it all.
After dinner a request came from
the 'boys" for another song and the
girls appeared in the cell room with
I'm the Time Of Roses" before being
transported to the train. AS we left
the institution the boys had learned
their yell and babe us farewell with
nine rahs for the girls. and an invita-
ton to return but not to stay"
Fine treatment, large audiences and
pleased hosts marked the tour of the
Normalouians. At New Salem the
Valley City alumni held a reception
for the Normalonians and the fine
spirit made the trip most enjoyable
one despite the cold weather, and an
other tour is invited for next year.
The Normalonians returned to VAL
ley City at $50 last evening, ready
for the home concert tomorrow even.
