COMMERCIAL VALUE
OF STABLE MANURE
Humus Supplied the Soils Is
Worth More Than Accom-
panying Food Elements.

What is the real commercial value
of common stable manure? Three con-
stituents of this waste are much
sought for and command good prices
in the worlds market today. Our
fellow farmers back East are paying
about 20 cents a pound for nitrogen,
four cents for phosphoric acid, and
five cents for potash in CONNER
cial fertilizers, that have not near
ly the value the same food elements
have when found in stable manure.
The humus supplied the soils by ma
nure is worth even more than
the accompanying food elements, be-
cause humus is the master key that
unlocks the potential fertility in our
soils. Some day we will be found 60
ing to the store to buy this same fer
tility we are now wasting. 1t will
come higher, and no master key will
be found in the sack. Farmers in
New York are paying today at the
rate of not less than $3.50 for the
sacked condensed plant food contained
in one ton of the manure that now
outrages our sense of beauty and pre-
sents US with swarms of flies. Just
add the freight and don't be behind
the times and forget the up-to-date
profits.

One job about the farm that should
not be put off until spring is cleaning
up the orchard. If this is put of un-
til later, one of the greatest benefits
which may accrue from it will be lost.
l refer to that host of orchard pests
and diseases that live over winter in
piles of rubbish and decaying apples.
Those limbs that have been pruned off
and thrown to one side and which are
now in dry condition, are Just the
shelter under which these orchard
pests can remain dormant through the
cold blasts of winter and come forth
in the spring, hale and hearty, ready
to attack the first shoots and buds Of
the apples that appear.
If there is nothing to burn but old
branches and tree prunings, then burn
ing is a good and satisfactory way Of
getting rid of this brush. But where
weeds have been cut in the orchard
oAu PIlOu up OuISAuO IAO area COFoISu
by the tree limbs, it would certainly
be waste of valuable plant food to
burn this material. There is just one
of two things to do in the disposition
of this material, To burn it means
that all the plant foods, except the
minerals are lost. In the face of our
shortage in the potash supply, this, of
course, should be saved, but why not

TILLAGE INFLUENCES
FERTILITY OF SOILS
More Food Is Made Available for
Growing Trees-COVer Crop
Protects the Roots.

The effect of tillage and cover crops
on the orchard are similar in some re-
spects, but tillage adds nothing to the
amount of plant food in the soil,
thought it influences the fertility of
the land so that more food is made
available for the growing trees. A
well-managed system of cover crops
will accomplish all that tillage can
and at the same time add to the store
of the plant food that will be available
for the trees.
Fruit trees are often injured by root
freezing during the winters. In the
northern latitudes this is one of the
most important reasons for keeping
the soil covered in the winter. The
influence of a'cover crop in protecting
the roots from frost is very important.
On soil that is rolling or on hillsides
it will be found almost impossible to
maintain any degree of fertility in the
orchard without the use of cover crops.
It will not only prevent the soil from
washing away, but will also hold the
fertilizers from washing and prevent
the leaves from blowing away.
The saving of plant food is also an
important function of a cover crop.
When the cold weather arrests the
growth of trees there is considerable
available plant food that may be vast
ed on account of the trees not being
able to consume it at that time. This
may be saved by the cover crop and
held until such a time as it is desired
to have it give it up or when the cover
crop decays in the following spring.
The ideal system of managing or
chard lands in the northern and mid
die states is perhaps most nearly ap-
preached when the soil is stirred in
the early spring, as early as practica-
BILE and as deep as it can be and not
injure the roots; cultivate in this man.
ner until the trees are budded, then
seeded with a cover crop which will
grow until autumn and be turned un.
der the following spring, and the same
method practiced again.
In some sections Of the apple coun-
try cover crop is used the year that
the trees are due to produce large
crop, so as to form a bed for the ap-
pies to fall upon and keep them clean
and free from mud.

save the nitrogen and phosphates
also?
If the ground is plowed, by all means
take this decaying mass and put it in
the bottoms of the burrows. In all
probability, these 'pests will never
hatch out there, and even If they did
they could not get up through the soil
in the spring. Some men who do not
have great many trees collect this
rubbish and put it about the base Of
the trees. The heap is covered with
dirt. This excludes the air and in the
deepening process so much heat is gen.
Grated that all these dormant fornls Of
insect life are killed. have seen this
heating, however, result in a scalded
trunk for the apple tree.
By all means the old limbs should
be burned up and if the land is plowed,
the other refuse should be plowed un-
der, but as to whether it would pay to
compost this old rubbish where the
land is not plowed is a question that
will be largely determined by the
amount of rubbish, the number of trees
and the cost of labor in doing it.
Where there is only a small amount
of this refuse, it may be easier and
less expensive to keep the pests down
by spraying, but where there is a
whole lot of it, it should certainly be
drawn away or otherwise disposed of
before the snow comes on.

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re
ported of the wheat crop Of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate Of an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward Of
25 bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for FIVE years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price Of
the land out of this years crop Of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best t1ld in the
language Of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton.
mage of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The c. P. R. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $4,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings Of the corresponding week
of 1913, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
increase in c. P. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only 1851, 900, or less than half of the
increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources Of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The c. P. R. is handling 1000
cars per day, a new record. The
G. T. R. and the G. N. R. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo of
476,315 bushels, new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board" in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port Of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
of the new crop began in August,
4,265,7 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
Of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad-
