STORE MANURE FOR GARDENS
Fertilizer Should Be Kept in Large
Box With Lid Screened That Files
Cannot Possibly Enter.

A common practice is to manure
the garden every year late in the fall
or before planting in the spring. no
further attention being given. This
practice, however, is not the best.
The manure for the garden should
be kept in a large box with lid or
so screened that flies cannot enter 1t.
Manure heaps are the natural breed
ing places OF these pests, and If they
are allowed to remain near the house
uncovered will prove great nuts
ance.
A good plan is to use very close
wire screen nailed to 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 1t.
II kept In a box a spout should be
placed in one corner at the bottom,
so that 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.

A fleece of good quality cannot be
grown on a poor halfstarved sheep.
If the ewes are allowed to get poor

the lambs viii be weak and will per

sheep need some succulent food
during the winter. They should have
some rough feed such as corn slower
or clover hay and, above all. they
should have a ration rich in both pro

The profits in hog raising come
largely through pasturing. The Iowa
experiment station in bulletin No. 1876
reports the result of experiments with
forage crops for swine. It was found
that the profits from grazing an acre
Of alfalfa in 1911 was, with corn at 90
cents and hogs selling at five cents,
B65.99; hogs, at six cents, $97.09 The
cost per 100 pounds of pork was but
1888. In 1909, the profit was $23.62
with hogs at five cents, and 1859
when hogs sold at six cents.
In 1903, clover when grazed with
hogs returned profit of 1924, hogs
selling at FIVE cents, and $57.07, at six
cents. In 1910, the clover pasture re-
turned $2s.s2. and $500 with hogs
at five and six cents.
In 1909, rape returned $27.5O and
$47.47 with hogs at five and six cents
respectively; in 1910, $37.51 and $6s.6E
In 1910, sweet clover returned $42.07
and $7450 with hogs at five and six
cents; in 1911, $23.46 and $3.50. Oats

peas and rape returned $22.S3 and
1896, with hogs at five and six cents
In 1911, three different lots returned
$53.45, $39.52 and $6463 each with
hogs at five and six cents. In 1909,
the returns from blue grass we're
1888 per acre, with hogs at five cents,
and $31.S5 at six cents.
In all the trials corn was fed and
charged at 80 cents q bushel. Land
rent was charged at six dollars per
acre. All costs of producing the crop
were figured in. Some meat meal was
fed. This was charged at two and
one-half cents pound. Alfalfa proved
to be the most satisfactory. 1t fur
nished pasture the most constantly Of
the crops tried. Sweet clover was
satisfactory the first year, but grew
too rank the second year.
The results of these experiments
should mean a good deal to North
Dakota. The season is little short

lower land rents. 1t is necessary to
keep in mind that some grain needs
to be fed the hogs in addition to the
forage. When the pasture is alfalfa,
corn Is a good grain to use.
