PROFITS OF SHEEP MEN CUT
Depredations Of Dogs Cause Immense
Annual Loss to the Raisers
Of the Animals.

Thirty-six of the states of the
Union are classified as agricultural
states. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has recently
completed an estimate of the num-
Der of sheep killed by dogs every
year. The estimate is based upon
figures collected for 1913. 1t shows
that in the 36 agricultural states the
annual loss totals 1O7,76O. Ohio's
loss reaches 15,5OO yearly; Indiana,
$4,000; Iowa, 1900; Kentucky,
$500; Illinois, 1920 and other
states in proportion.
The total loss compared with the
number of sheep shown by the 1910
census seems small. 1t is less than
one per cent of the sheep population
of the country. However, that sheep
grower who is getting a return of
five per cent on his investment. taxi
ing one year with another, is doing
well. This makes loss of one per
cent loom up dangerously. Nor is
the loss of one per cent from dog
deprcdations the worst feature of the
situation. The dread of what dogs
may do to the flock is preventing any
increase in sheep keeping. To the
question, "What causes are prevent
ing an increase in sheep raising?"
531 of S94 growers answered

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,
1t is shown that the droppings from
1000 fowls, if 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 30 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
~ prevent loss of nitrogen, (2) add
sufficient potash and phosphoric acid
to make better balanced fertilizer,
and (3) to improve the mechanical
condition of the manure so that it 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 pounds of kainit. Such
will contain about 1.25 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 so pounds of
nitrogen, 1875 pounds of phosphorfc
acid and so pounds of potash, and at
the present price of fertilizing ingredi-
ents is worth about $40 per ton. The
mixture would furnish a well-balanced
stable fertilizer, which, although not
fine enough to work we'll in drills, can
be successfully applied with manure
spreader. The treated manure should
be we'll sheltered until time to apply
to the land-that is, shortly before
blowing.
