Modern Maid, In All Essentials, 10 a
Worthy Copy Of Her Mother

Every now and again somebody
asks. In print, this question: What

OF Noah and will he asked until the

the household work In II should be
done by the students. That rule was
enforced rigidly up to a recent date.
when the directors and faculty, feel
ing that the practice might have be-

tasks OF the institution optional for

But when the girls OF Mount Holy

PRESERVATION OF
POULTRY DROPPINGS
Farmer Can Materially Add to
His Earnings by Caring
for Hen Manure.

A recent bulletin of the Maine ag-
ricultural experiment station shows
that the poultry man or farmer can
materially add to the profits OF his
business by properly caring for the
droppings OF his fowls. For example,
II is shown that the droppings from
1000 fowls, II preserved without need
less loss, are worth at least 5000 per
annum, and this estimate is based OH
the assumption that less than half OF
the droppings. or only 80 pounds per
hen per year, can be collected.
According to the Maine station. the
droppings should be collected daily
and mixed with substances which will
"a prevent loss OF nitrogen, (2) add
sufficient potash and phosphoric acid
to make a better balanced fertilizer.
and go to improve the mechanical
condition of the manure so that II can
be applied to the land with a manure
spreader.
This can be done as follows: To
each 30 pounds OF the manure add 10
pounds of sawdust. good dried loan,
or peat. 16 pounds OF acid phosphate
and s pounds of kainit. Such a
mixture will contain about e5 per
cent OF nitrogen. As per cent OF phos.
phoric acid and per cent OF potash.
which, used at the rate OF two tons
per acre would furnish 80 pounds Of
nitrogen. 1856 pounds of phosphoric
acid and so pounds of potash. and at
the present price of fertilizlng ingredi-
ents Is worth about $40 per ton. The
mixture would furnish well-baIanced
stable fertilizer. which. although not
fine enough to work well in drills, can
be successfully applied with manure
spreader. The treated manure should
be well sheltered until time to apply
to the land-that is, shortly before
blowing

Truckers and farm gardeners spread
the manure in the drill or put 1t in

horse carloads OF rottSd manure will
be enough for one acre.
