nary farmer, has been devised by
e. Truog, instructor in the department
of soil, college Of agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin.
The new test, it is believed, will be
of especial benefit to county repre-
sentatives and to field agents of the
state soils laboratory, owing to the
fact that it Is simple to operate and
approximate cumulative results can
be secured in from 10 to 8 minutes
The new method consists OF the ad-

amounts of calcium chloride and wa.

By ELMER HENDERSON,
Just between corn planting and
corn blowing there is a little time
when the work in the fields is not so
crowding.
This affords a good opportunity to
clean the manure from the yards and
land it out into the fields. At this time
of the year most probably the only
place to land it is the hay ground.
This is good place for it, as the
growing meadow will take up all the
nitrates as fast as they are released
from the decaying manure and apply
1t to their own use.
1t has been proved time and again
by actual tests reported by our expert
ment stations that the manure that is
allowed to lie around and rot loses
three-fourths of its value.
This is due to decomposition Of the
material, nitrilication and the escape
of ammonia and to teaching or wash

VALUE OF ALFALFA
AND ACRE OF CORN
Placing Valuation of Two and
0ne-HaIf Times on Former
Seems to Be About Right.

A comparison of the value Of the
age acre of corn brings some interest
ing figures to light. An enthusiastic
alfalfa raiser claims that one acre OF
alfalfa Is worth two and half acres
pf corn. This looks like a rather large
estimate but little work with pad
and pencil shows that the enthusiast
has not overdrawn the comparison to
any great extent
Forty bushels of corn to the acre Is
q rather generous estimate, and an
average price Of 60 cents per bushel
is good, Figuring 1t this way the crop
will be worth $24 Giving the stalks
q valuation of 81 we can say that
the entire product of the acre of corn
amounted to $25 An ordinary acre Of
alfalfa in an ordinary season should
produce three and half tons Of good
hay at the least, and good average
price would be $l6.50 per ton. Thus
the alfalfa crop will be worth s575
The alfalfa will be already planted for
the next year, and the crop taken off
will leave the soil in better condi-
ton than it found it, The crop will
have been produced at about one-third
the labor cost Of the corn, and will
return to the soil much more manu-
rial value than the corn If both are fed
on the farm. The corn will have ia
ken from the fertility OF the soil and
made up by growing alfalfa or some
other legume. Placing valuation OF
two and one-half times as much on
alfalfa as corn does not seem to be
far wrong

from a manure pile during and after
every heavy rain.
Every drop of water is rich in this
valuable nitrogen, not to mention the
other elements that are of so much
value to the growing crops.
The average manure in the spring,
before teaching or decomposition has
begun, is worth anywhere from $3.50
to SO per ton; allowed to remain in
the yard until fall, it is worth barely a
third Of that price.
In our calculations we have left the
sanitary aspect out of consideration.
There should be nothing more sanitary
than a clean, wellkept barnyard. On
the other hand, there is not better
place for the germs Of disease than in
the foul, filthy yards that are so com
mon on many homesteads.
Many a fine horse has been ruined
by being compelled to tramp to and
from the water trough through one OF
these disgraceful barn lots. Grease,
rot and all its kindred ailments are
only too common to animals allowed to
temain in these places.
Then, brother farmers, clean up. II
not for your stocks sake, then for
your pocketbook's sake. But it is dol
lars to doughnuts that the man who
allows his manure to lie around all
summer, also lets his other work lag.
Clean up! 1t is more sanitary;
things look better-have a cleaner,
better smell.
The elements that insult your nos
trils, in a dirty barnyard, are the same
that make the big crop of fragrant
hay next summer.

"BREAD UPON THE WATERS"

Representative Heflin of Alabama
is a great believer in the return of
bread cast upon the waters" and in
proof thereof relates story OF the
time when he had first entered poll
tics.
1t seems that about five miles
from the Hefin home negro 1ubi-
lee Of some sort was in progress and
was attracting hundreds Of negroes
from all parts Of the surrounding coun-
try. One of those who wished to at
tend the function and had driven
many weary miles was unfortunate
when he reached the vicinity of the
Heflin residence One of the wheels
on his buggy broke.
The old darby had been told
where Representative Helms father
lived, and probably also that the elder
Mr. Heflin had a sympathetic heart.
Therefore, he went to the door and
asked the elder Mr.. Heflin, who had a
blacksmith shop. to let him borrow a
wheel for his broken buggy.
