GREEN MANURE CROPS.

Necessary to Increase and Preserve
Fertility of Land.
Prepared by the United States depart
ment of agricultural
To increase and preserve the fertility
of his land is one Of the chief prob
lens Of the farmer who looks more
than year or two into the future.
For this purpose barnyard manure is
unquestionably the best agent. for it
retains from Is per cent to 80 per cent
Of all the fertilizing substance con-
tanned in the food given to the animal.
Were it possible, indeed, to feed the
entire product of any farm to live
stock and return the resulting manure
to the soil, the fertility Of such farm
could be maintained indefinitely. 1t is
true that small amount of potash
and phosphorus would be absorbed in
the live stock and taken from the farm
when they were sold. but the loss from
this source would be small.
Unfortunately this system is very
rarely possible in practice. The mar
ket demand for live stock is not suff-
cient to make it profitable to keep
enough animals on the farm to furnish
the amount Of fertilizer the land re-
quires. This. of course. is especially
true Of regions where stock raising is
carried on only to small extent. In
such regions the humus needed must
be furnished by other means, and the
most satisfactory way of doing this is
to plow under some leguminous crop
as green manure.
There are fifteen legumes that are
more or less extensively grown in the
United States. The comparative value
Of these crops varies, of course, accord
ing to climatic and other conditions,
but in the approximate order of their
Importance they may be ranked as fol-

will cause the cabbages to keep in the
very best condition. especially If To-
cation Is chosen where ample drain
age is possible. The whole aim in the
storage OF vegetables is to prevent
sudden freezing and thawing: to give
ventilation enough so that the prod
uct may keep well: to give moisture
enough to some crops so that shrinking
will be done away with, and with 9th
er crops to give heat enough so that
they will not suffer by excessive mois-
ture.

YER, field peas. SOY beans, peanuts.
vetch. bur clover, Japan clover, sweet
clover and velvet, beans. t.
y The most important object achieved
by the use of any of these green ma.
nure crops is the addition of humus to
the soil Other things being equal. the
best green manure crop Is that which
furnishes the largest amount of ma
teria to decay in the SOIL. The essen
tiaIA fertilizing substances thus added
= are nitrogen. phosphorus and potash.
In addition to the fertilizing value Of
these crops, they are all useful as feed.
1t is therefore uuqnestionably better
practice to feed us much as the live
> stock on the farm can consume and
then distribute the resulting manure
over the land than to plow under the
whole crop. The chief objection to
green manure crop Is the fact that or
dinarily it takes the place ri II regu,
season at least, the land yields no III
come. BY utilizing to the fullest pos
sible extent the feed value of the crop
the force of this objection is leSsened.
Because of the loss Of income greeIl
manuring cannot. be recommended for
all soils and all times. 1t is. hnwever.
of such Importance that agricultural
authorities have in recent years devot-
ed considerable time to an ende;lvor to
increase its genera! use. In particular.
crimson clover. hairy 'vetch. cowpeas
g., and bur clover are becoming more and
mnre popular.
From an agricultural point Of view
the legumes are commonly classified
into three groups: ~ Summer ANNALS.
including cowpeas. soy beans. peanuts,
beans. velvet beans and in the north
common vetch and field peas: (2) win.
ter ANNALS. including crimson clover,
bur clover. hairy vetch and in the
south common vetch and field peas; Gl
biennials or perennials. among which
are red clover. white clover. sweet

Few Of these crops can be grown ex-

that incubation of the soil is an es-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
AN AGRICULTURAL CRIME.

Farmers are committing the
same old crime in a good many
sections this fall through the
. practice Of setting fire to straw
and burning it to ashes in order
to ..get it out of the way Dat
straw and wheat straw are go
ing up lin clouds of smoke on a
lot of farms.
There are some sections where
a man would be regarded weak
minded for doing such a thing.
Wherever the weather has been
unfavora BILE and crops are short
people are planning to use that
straw for feeding purposes. Dat
straw is sold in every big feed
market in the country. and it is
sold for feed too. We ought to
keep that before us when we are
tempted to go out and put
match to some irregular straw
pile. Cattle will go hungry in
some sections this winter for
lack Of enough of this same oat
straw that we are sending up in
smoke to get it off the ground.
In the grain sections there is
world of straw that might be
baled and sold, scattered over the
fields as a manure. fed or used
as bedding OF course everybody
is not burning the straw, for
there are great many who
know about its value. They un-
derstand that they are burning
up just so, much Of the value of
the land when they do it.-Farm

HOUSING POULTRY.

Remember that most cases of .

the fall because birds are not .
housed as early as they should .
be. Fowls are timid in new
quarters and are prone to crowd /.
and huddle together on the roosts

they become overheated at night /:
