Enormous Waste OF Manure.
The United States department of ag-
riculture estimated the number of cat
tie in the United States on January 1,
1910, at 70,O00000; sheep, 57,216,o00;
swine, 47,7S2,000. If we assume that
ten sheep or hogs are equivalent to
one COW or steer in manure production,
we shall have total of over S0,000,-
coo cattle. They are no doubt equiva-
lent to 60,000,000 1,000-pouId cattle. If
these are yarded four months each
winter, there should be total manure
production during that period of $780,
100000 tons, having a crop-producing
value of at least $500, 100000 above all
cost Of handling. 1t is a very conserva-
tive estimate to place the waste of
this manure under the present system
of handling at 25 per cent, or $780,
that amount
Manure is lost by weathering, leach
ing, heating, rotting, by piling in heaps
in the field and letting stand before
spreading. If you cannot spread it
soon after it is produced, store it in a
pit or manure shed.
OF all the ways in which manure is
handled, piIing it in heaps in the field
is the most wasteful 1t is worse than
leaving it under the barn caves and
letting it leach out there, because of
the waste Of labor involved in hauling
it TO the field to be thrown away.
The overgrowth of lodged and half
/ filled grain over such spots ought to
be sufficient to convince any man of
the mistake of such a method; vet
there are thousands of farmers who
are still piling manure in the fields.
Value of Liquid Manure.
A greater portion of the fertilizing
value of the manure is found in the
liquid portion. The full effect of
neither the sotid nor the liquid portion
can be obtained except when used in
connection with the other. If the
liquid is permitted TO flow away or
become leached out by rain and sepa-
rated from the solid portion. whether
in yard or field. it carries witt it the
plant food. The only right way to
handle manure is to collect the liquid
by abundant absorbents as straw. get
it promptly to the field, spread 1t there
at once and let sunshine and rain do
their work. The sunshine viii evap-
crate the water and the rain which fol-
lows will dissolve the salts and wash
them into the soil where they are
| needed.

Let us look at eugenics from a sci !

Let us look at eugenics from a sci
entifc view point, What is cugcn-
Iics9 Eugenics is a science which
deals with all influences that inn
prove the human race and all other
influences that develop them TO the
utmost advantage.
| What Is the aim of eugenics? The
aim is 10 influence public opinion
toward cugcnic ideas, particularly
referring to marriage, bearing and
rearing Of children and the care and
treatment Of the defective class Of
society. The first great movement
was made in 1901 when Francis Gal
ton read a paper on eugenics before
the Sociological Society Of London.
and the University Of London was
the first educational institution TO
take steps toward research activi-
ties in that direction.
As the work originated in England
IL has naturally made o greater adj
vance along this line Of work, but IL
by no means has a monopoly upon
them, for there is vast amount of
work being carried on in the Unit
ed states in this direction. Let us
consider the situation in Ohio today:
They have recently organized an in
stitution called The Bureau Of Ju-
venile Research for the study of de-
linquency. Its aim is to take all
children that come into the hands
of the State Board Of Administra-
ton through the juvenile courts. as
ISOLATED charities. etc. and make a
study of the child mentally. physi-
cally and bisociologically with a
view tn determine for each indivl-
dual what disposition Of the case is
best for the child and society. The
church and society have tried to
combat this difficulty by education.
environment and development after
birth. but have never undertaken to
investigate the quality Of the child
at birth A child that is born of
mentally defective parents will be
mentally defective. A child that is
born Of morally defective parents
will be a moral defective also aud a
child that is born Of insane parents
will undoubtedly some time during
his life become insane
Scientific research with plants and
animals has proven what can be
done along that line Of endeavor. so
why cannot we use these same prin-
ciples for the betterment Of the hui
man race.
What is a eugenic child? A eugen-
ic child is one that is we'll born: not
necessarily genius, but mentally
and physically strong. Every child
has a right to be well born; and
ii he cannot be well born, IL is bet
ter that he be not born at all"
We know that physical character
is inherited, also that mental char
acter is inherited, so the question
arises: What is the influ-
ence Of heredity upon society?

EUGENICS

The greatest difficulty in teaching
eugenics today is the lack of inter-
est of the general public.
Magazines and circulars are full of
interesting as well as educational ar
ticles on eugenics. but the average
individual passes them carelessly by
thinking to himself that they are ar
ticles that do not concern him: they
have nothing To do with him, so
why should he be interested in
them. But I shall endeavor to prove
to every one Of you that il is a
question Of vital importance TO So
