LEAcHING CAUSES BIG LOSS
Leaving Manure In Pile Reduces Its
Plant Food VaIue-It Should Be
Spread on Ground.

] Fifty per cent of the value Of
manure is lost by teaching If it is
left in 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 chance to wash the plant
food into the soil.
Piling the manure In the field to
be scattered later Is not a good plan
The place where the pile lay will be
so enriched that small grain will lodge
If planted there. The labor is also in
creased.
It is good plan, advised Profess
sor Throckmorton, to spread manure
thinly as top dressing for wheat or
alfalfa land during the fall or win
ter. 1t is also valuable as a top
dressing on plowed ground but should
be narrowed in the spring. 1t is bet
ter to put 40 tons of manure on four
acres than 40 tons on one acre.
II much live stock is kept on the
farm, the bottom of an old straw
stack should not be used on the field.
Use it for bedding first and it will
be greatly increased in value.

CHICKENS AND THE GARDEN
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 most
profit from soil without robbing it of
its fertility.
Chickens and gardening may be
studied together to mutual advantage
by having two lots, one for the chick
ems and the other for the garden. The
garden will furnish food for the
chickens and the family also and the
manure of the hens will keep the soil
fertile and productive. The chicken
yard and garden can be alternated
each year to get better results.
The green's for the chickens may be
grown in the end of the plot which is
not occupied by the chicken coop. The
chickens are to be shut up all the time
except, perhaps, about an hour each
evening.

LOVES THE ORCHARD
Kingbird's Hostility to Hawks
and Crows Is ProverbiaI.
lt 10 True FIycatcher and Takes on
Wing Large Part of Its Feed
Picks Up Many insects From
Trees and Weeds.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
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, and less commonly in the
Great Basin and on the Pacific coast.
Its hostility to hawks and crows is
proverbial, and for this reason a fam
lily Of kingbirds is a desirable adjunct
to poultry yard. On one occasion in
the knowledge of the writer a hawk
which attacked brood of young tur-
keys was pounced upon and so Sc
verely buffeted by a pair of kingbirds
whose nest was near by that the would
be robber was glad to escape without
his prey. Songbirds that nest near the
kingbird are similarly protected.
The kingbird is largely insectivo-
rous. 1t is true flycatcher and
takes on the wing large part of its
food. 1t does not, however, confine
itself to this method of hunting, but
picks up some insects from trees and
weeds, and even descends to the
ground in search of myriapods or
thousand-legs. The chief complaint
against the species by both profess
sional beekeepers and others has
been that it preys largely upon honey
bees. One bee raiser in Iowa, sus-
pecting the kingbirds of feeding upon
his bees, shot number near his
hives; but when the stomachs of the
birds were examined by an expert en-
tomologist, not a trace of honeybees
could be found.
An examination of 665 stomachs
collected in various parts Of the coun-
try was made by the biological survey,
but only % were found to contain re-

maintained, the bird would be or more
benefit than harm to the apiary.
The Cassin kingbird has more
southerly range than the Arkansas
f1ycatcher. Examination Of a number
Of stomachs shows that its food habits
are similar to those of others Of the
group.
Three points seem to be clearly es-
tablished in regard to the food of the
kingbirds-O that about 80 per cent
consists of insects, mostly injurious
species; (2) that the alleged habit Of
preying upon honeybees is much less
prevalent than has been supposed, and
probably does not result in any great
damage; and 60 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 vast
numbers of harmful insects, and do no
appreciable damage to any product of
cultivation.

Many People Suffer

Thousands of People Welcome
This Simple Method of Relief

Certain pests are often confined by
conditions to certain localities, but
ants can be found most anywhere.
Ants not only are an annoyance, but
they are dangerous as Widespread
ing disease germs in the same manner
as flies and mosquitoes. Nothing
tries the patience of the good house
wife any more than to find them in

There is no need of putting up with
this annoyance any longer, however,
for very simple remedy is now
available. 1t is known as Kellogg's
Ant Paste and can be obtained at all
modern druggists. This paste seems
to have almost supernatural powers
over ants. Not only will it drive every
ant out of house, but will prevent
their ever getting foothold in your

FEED GRAIN ID THE CALVES
Parts of Cracked Corn and One
Part of Wheat Bran

A little grain should be fed as soon
as skim milk feeding begins, in order
to replace the butterfat removed In
the cream.
Two parts, by weight, of cracked
corn and one of wheat bran make a
good grain mixture, which every
farmer can readily secure, and re.
qulres no especial preparation.
The calf should be taught to eat this
grain by sprinkling little of it in the
feed box right after feeding the milk.
No more grain should be fed than
the calf will clean up readily.

mains Of honeybees. In these % stom-
achs there were in all 81 honeybees,
of which 81 were drones, were GER
tainly workers, and the remaining two
were too badly broken to be further
identified.
The insects that constitute the
great bulk of the food are noxious
species, largely beetles-May beetles,
click beetles (the larvae of which are
known as wireworms), weevils, which
prey upon fruit and grain, and host
of others. Wasps, wild bees and ants
are conspicuous elements of the food,
far outnumbering the hive bees. Dur
ing summer many grasshoppers and
crickets, as well as leaf hoppers and
other bugs, also are eaten. In the
stomachs examined were a number of
robber f1ies-insects which prey large
ly upon other insects, especially honey
bees, and which are know to commit
In this way extensive depredations. 1t
lis thus evident that the kingbird, by
destroying these flies, actually does
good work for the apiarist. The 26
robber flies found in the stomachs may
be considered more than an equiva-
lent for the eight worker honeybees
already mentioned. A few caterpil-
lars are eaten, mostly belonging to
the group commonly known as cut
worms, all the species of which are
harmful.
r0r INT Of fh1
sists Of small native fruits, comprising
some thirty common species of the
roadsides and thickets, as dogwood
berries, elderberries and wild grapes.
The kingbird is not reported as eating
cultivated fruit to an injurious extent,
and it is very doubtful if this is ever
the case.
In the western states the Arkansas
kingbird is not so domestic in its hab-
Its as its eastern relative, preferring
to live among scattering oaks on
lonely hillsides, rather than in or
chards about buildings. The work it
does, however, in the destruction of
noxious insects fully equals that of

ern representative, it has been accused
of feeding to an injurious extent upon
the honeybee. In an examination of
62 stomachs of this bird, great care
was taken to identify every insect or
fragment that had any esemblance to
a honeybee; as result, 80 honeybees
were identified, of which 20 were
males or drones, and one a worker.
These were contained in four stom-
achs, and were the sole contents of
three; in the fourth they constituted

that the bee-eating habit is only occa-

habitual; and it Is also evident that
