(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 1t is the hay ground.
This is a 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
it to their own use.
1t has been proved time and again
by actual tests reported by our expert
ment stations that the n that is
allowed to lie around and rot loses
thr~ee-fourths of it's value.
This is due to decomposition of the
material, ~nitriication and the escape
of ammonia and to leacSing OF wash
Ing by rains.
When manure decays there is lib
Grated by this process, nitrogen, which
Is one of the most valuable factors on
the American farm today.
If this nitrogen is allowed to escape,
Its value is lost to the crop, which
probably needs it very much.
AS much as three-fourths of the
available nitrogen in a soil may escape
during the summer. When it is consid-
cred that this is one of the most val
liable constituents of the manure, the
extent of the loss is at once apparent.
AS to the loss by 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
average acre OF alfalfa with the aver
age acre of corn brings some interest
ing figures to light. An enthusiastic
alfalfa raiser claims that N acre of
alfalfa is worth two and a half acres
of corn. This looks like a rather large
estimate but a little work with a pad
and pencil shows that the enthusiast
has not overdrawn the comparison to
any great extent.
Forty bushels of corn to the acre is
a rather generous estimate, and an
average price Of 60 cents per bushel
is good. Figuring it 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 a half tons of good
hay at the least, and a good average
price would be $3.50 per ton. Thus
the alfalfa crop will be worth $3.50.
The alfalfa will be already planted for
the next year, and the crop taken off
will leave the soil in a 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
the loss will eventually have to be
made up by growing alfalfa or some
other legume. Placing a valuation OF
two and one-half times as much on
alfalfa as corn does not eel to be
far wrong.

TIME FOR CUTTING CLOVER
with Good Weather Hay Should Be
Left in the Windrow Over Night
and Turned the Next Day.

Glover for hay should be cut as
soon as the first blossoms begin to
turn brown, and the hay should be
Cured in the shade. After the clover
has been cut, it should be turned with
a tedder as soon as the leaves in the
upper part of the swath are well
wilted. Before the leaves and stems
become dry and stiff, the hay should
be raked into windrows. This will
shade most of the hay and allow a
good circulation of air through 1t.
Clover cured in the windrow does not
get stiff like that exposed to the sun
in the swath for a day or two. With
scoG = the hay should be left
al 80 -Grow ove night and turned
a time or two the next forenoon. 1t
should then be ready for the stack
the second afternoon. Cured in this
way the stems are soft and pliable and
much natural moisture is retained in
the leaves.

NEW SOIL AClDITY
TEST is DISCOVERED
Chemicals Are Perfectly Safe for
Layman to Handle, and Ap-
paratuS Is Cheap.

What is expected to prove a more
positive test for soil acidity than the
common litmus paper test, and one
which, because of the cheap and harm
less chemicals used in its operation,
will be within the reach of the ordt.
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 Is minutes.
The new method consists of the ad.
dition to a sample of soil to be ex.
amined of zinc 'sulphide with small
amounts of calcium chloride and wa.
ter, and boiling the mixture in a flask
held over a small flame, preferably
an alcohol lamp. Commercial lead
acetate paper, which can be purchased
at the drug store, when held in the
fumes of the mixture for a few min
utes, will turn from light brown to
a shiny black, according to the de.
gree of acidity present in the soil.
The natural color of the lead acetate
paper Is white, hence the discolora-
ton can be plainly see and will more
accurately gauge the acidity in a soil
than will the litmus paper test, now
in use.
The chemicals are perfectly safe for
the layman to handle, and the com.
plete apparatus, including flask and
burner. ordinarily will not cost more
than 81. The details of the apparatus
have not been completed, but in a
short time a more definite announce.

FACTS REFUTE TALK.
Idle TO Call Trade Depression
Psychological.
Industries That Have Shut Down or
CurtaiIed Production, and Men
Out of Work Are Convincing
Arguments.

President Wilson tells the business
men of America that while there Is q
trade depression. it Is merely psyche
logical"
Can an extra dose Of psychology give
back to the railroad owners that
5000, 900 which their properties have
lost in eight months this fiscal year
compared with the year before the
Wilson regime started?
Is 1t only a dream or a concrete fact
that 1,00O,0 600 workmen are now out OF
q job?
Can a mental state account for the
amazing reversal In Americas interna-
uonal trade figures, where a monthly
excess Of exports ranging up to $780,.
100000 has turned into a balance
against us Of $40, 600. 900 for April?
Does mere sentiment reduce our
steel-mir output to so per cent of its
capacity? Was it hysteria that blew

No, it was not a merely psycholog-
lcal" notion that unloaded American

wins didn't discharge mor than half

Building operations in the United
States have not fallen greatly simply

bankers are not sending shiploads OF
gold to Europe to spite somebody.
When securities have been liquidat-
ed in Is months to a level $4,000, 000,-
900 below their former value the coun-
try is not suffering psychologically but
concretely.
1t is outrageous mockery for those
whose excessive legislative meddling
Is largely responsible for Jul present
trade ills to pretend that the people
who have suffered the loss and who
are out Of work are themselves to
blame.

sown in the spring on winter grain, the
grain is narrowed very lightly after
the clover seed is sown broadcast, or
the clover seed may be put in with a
double disc or shoe grain drill. The
selection of a nurse crop for clover
must be determined quite largely from
the crops best adapted to the soil and
needs of the farmy and, at the same
time, one that will materially assist
the clover in meeting the usual eli
matte condition of the locality should
be used.
Young clover should never be pas
tured or cut for hay the year OF its
seeding, unless it should show signs of
poisoning after the nurse crop has
been removed. Then it is safer to clip
of the heads with a mower than to
pasture closely or cut for hay. Meth
er should it be pastured the second
spring. before it has a good start and
the ground is well settled.
Glover is an excellent pasture crop
for all classes of stock, as it furnishes
q luxuriant growth of a highly nutri-
tious food from early spring until late
III the fall, providing it is not pastured
too closely. During the heat of the
summer it should not be pastured
closely, as this will curtail the fall
feed. The after crop that comes on
after taking off the hay crop makes
excellent fall pasture. The grave dam
ger from clover pasture is bloat.
Where stock is turned on to it gradu-
ally until they are accustomed to it,
and then kept on it continuously, with
access to some kind of dry feed, salt,
and water, there is very little, if any,
danger from bloat.
Glover makes splendid hay when
properly cured and stored. One ton
of well-cured clover hay is worth, for
feeding purposes, nearly one-half as
much as a ton of bran. Glover hay
Is especially valuable for feeding dairy

Every drop of water is rich in this

value to the growing crops.
The average manure in the spring,
before teaching or decomposition has

the yard until fall, it is worth barely a
third of that price.
In our calculations we have left the

MoULDs FATAL TO POULTRY
One Great Cause of Large Number Of
Deaths Among Poultry, and Par
ticuiariy Among Chicks.
DIV H. =. Missouri =

(By H. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri Elk.
pertinent Station.)
Mouldy- litter in poultry houses and
mouldy feed are the cause of a large
number of deaths among poultry and
particularly among chicks. These
moulds taken into the body of the
fowl cause a disease known as As
pergillosis. The disease is as fatal as
the name sounds. Our scientists have
neglected to find a shorter name for
the disease, but among poultrymen
chicks affected with the trouble are
commonly spoken of as 'lungers."
Many times the disease is mistaken
for white diarrhoea. The Missouri
college of agriculture, in it's ~investi-
cation of poultry diseases, notes the
following characteristic symptoms:
The chick stands around in a drowsy
and shows little desire to eat.
The wings hang down, the breath is
rapid and a white diarrhoea is pres
ent.
An affected chick will be found to
have soft, yellow growths from the
size of a pinhead to that of a pea, main,
ly in the lungs, but sometimes in the
intestines and mesentery. These
growths, clogging the air passages OF
the lungs, are directly responsible fol-
the death of affected birds.
In mature fowls there are two forms
of the disease. The mucou membrane
lining the air-sacs and tubes may be
covered with a m~embranous formation
which is soft and yellowish and has an
offensive odor, or the post norton
will reveal white or yellowish nodules
imbedded in the tissues of the lungs.
Early symptoms are that the bird is
inactive, sleepy and If forced to run.
will fail from exhaustion; breathing
is rapid, appetite is diminished and
more or less catarrh is present.
There is no cure for the trouble, but
since it is caused by eating mouldy
feed or by being permitted access to
mouldy litter, it can be entirely pre-.
vented by not compelling fowls to cal
mouldy food and by keeping them
away from mouldy litter.
This is just one of the many poultry
troubles that can be entirely avoided
by feeding nothing but fresh, clean
feed and, keeping the pens and yards
free from filth and moulcs.
