TEACHING CAUSES BIG LOSS
Leaving Manure In Pile Reduces its
Plant Food VsIue-It Should Be
Spread on Ground.

Fifty per cent Of the value OF
manure is lost by teaching II it is
left in a pile for six months. says r.
l. Throckmorton, assistant professor
OF soils in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college To get the greatest
value from manure, it should be spread
directly on the ground. so as to give
the rain a chance to wash the plant
food into the soil.
Piling the manure In the field to
be scattered later is not good plan.
The place where the pile lay will be
SO enriched that small grain will lodge
il planted there. The labor is also in
creased.
1t is a good plan, advised PROBES
sor Throckmorton, to spread manure
thinly as a top dressing for wheat OF
alfalfa land during the fall or win
ter. 1t is also valuable as a TOT
dressing on plowed ground but should
be narrowed in the spring. 1t is bet
ter to put 40 tons of manure on foul
acres than 40 tons on one acre.
II much live stock is kept on thu
farm. the bottom OF an old straw
stack should not be used on the field
Use it for bedding first and 1t vii

CHICKENS AND THE GARDEN
Learn How to Get Best Results From
Different Ways Of Feeding,
Housing and Breeding.

A student at one of the agricultural
normal school short courses IN agri-
culture gave the following answer to
the question, What objects are to be
obtained in the study of poultry and
garden?"
The objects to be obtained in the
study of chickens and garden are to
learn how to get the best results from
the different ways of feeding, housing
and breeding; which are the best
breeds and how to keep them pure
and get the most profit from them at
the least expense.
In gardening, how to get the mos
profit from soil without robbing 1t Of
its fertility.
Chickens and gardening may b'
studied together to mutual advantage
by having two lots. one for the chick
ems and the other for the garden. Tn
garden will furnish food for tn
chickens and the family also and tn
manure of the hens will keep the sol
fertile and productive. The chicke
yard and garden can be alternate
each year to get better results.
The greens for the chickens may
grown in the end OF the plot which
not occupied by the chicken coop Tn
chickens are to be shut up all the tim
except. perhaps. about an hour eac

maintained, the bird would be OF more
benefit than harm to the apiary.
The Cassin kingbird has more
southerly range than the Arkansas
fiycatcher Examination or number
OF stomachs shows that its food habits
are similar to those or others OF the
group.
Three points seem to be clearly es-
tablished in regard to the food OF the
kingbirds-1) that about 80 per cent
consists OF insects, mostly injurious
species; (2) that the alleged habit OF
preying upon honeybees is much lesa
prevalent than has been supposed, and
probably does not result IN any great
| damage; and 90 that the vegetable
food consists almost entirely OF wild
| fruits which have no economic value
| All of the kingbirds are OF the
greatest importance to the farmer and
fruit grower, as they destroy vas
numbers of harmful insects, and do n'
appreciable damage to any product o
cultivation.

The insects that constitute the
great bulk of the food are noxious

other bugs. also are eaten. In the
stomachs examined were number OF
robber fiies-insects which prey large
" upon other insects. especially honey
bees. and which are know to commit
in this way extensive depredations. 1t
is thus evident that the kingbird, by
destroying these flies, actually does
good work for the apiarist. The 20
robber flies found in the stomachs may
be considered more than an equiva-
lent for the eight worker honeybees
already mentioned. A few caterpil-

prepared by the United States Depart

The well-known eastern kingbird is
essentially a lover of the orchard,
though groves and the edge of forests
were probably its original habitat. 1t
breeds in the states east of the Rocky
mountains, anu less commonly in the
Great Basin and on the Pacific coast.
Its hostility to hawks and crows is
proverbial, and for this reason fam

What Causes tuberculosis.

DIR. John North OF Toledo, o., Is
working on the theory that tubercu-
losis may be due to a lack OF lime
in the system. as he says that while
tubercular germs are everywhere. they
only thrive in ripe soil and just what
is lacking in persons subject to tuber
cular trouble gives food for thought
He says that there is less tuber
culosis among people living in arid re
gions and plants in such places have
more lime in their composition thar
those growing in humid regions.
