TRANSPORTATION AND
ZERO WEATHER

Mr.. A. c. Mcdonald of Valley City,
North Dakota, is rural school inspector
of that state. He reports that great ad.
yantages resulting from consolidation
of schools and transportation of pupils
in that state, not the least of which is
better attendance. North Dakota win
ters are no joke, but in weather of ten
to thirty degrees below zero he finds
SO out of II pupils present in the con-
solidated school, while in the nearest
one-teacher school out of 20 have
braved the cold and are present. Ap-
parently the places where consolidation
and transportation are not producing
better results than the isolated one
teacher school are the places where the
new plan is not in operation.

POULTRY MANURE

The manure produced is valuable
by-product of poultry raising. 1t is
estimated that the average night drop
pings of hen amount to 40 to 90
pounds per year. This represents the
manure which can certainly be saved
with the exercise of little care. A
conservative estimate indicates tina.
this manure contains fertiiizing con
stituents which would cost 20 to 25
cents if bought in the form of CONNER
cial fertilizers at ordinary prices. A
flock of 100 hens would at this rate
produce manure worth 500 to $25 per
year. If, however, the manure is not
properly cared for, as much as one-half
of its fertilizing value is likely to be
lost. To prevent loss, frequent clean
ing of the dropping boards is neces-
sary, and some sort of absorbent should
be used daily. The use in moderate
quantities of fine, dry loan or road
dust, or, preferably, mixtures of these
with such materials as land plaster,
acid phosphate, and potash salts, has
been recommended. Sawdust has also
been used with good results at the rate
of 10 pounds per hen per year mixed
with 16 pounds of acid phosphate and
s pounds of kainit. This gives a fer
tilizer which contains about OPS per
cent of nitrogen, As per cent of phos-
phoric acid, and per cent of potash,
and is worth $40 per ton at ordinary
prices of these fertilizing constituents.
1t is better balanced fertilizer than
manure alone, and is usually in better
mechanical condition for application to
the soil by means of fertilizer distrib-
utors or manure spreaders.
With the present high price of potash
salts it is impracticable to use such
materials in the way suggested, and it
may also be impraeticable to use acid
phosphate. In this case somewhat
larger amounts of sawdust should be
used. .. ..l.Ht.IV
Sifted coal ashes may be used as an
absorbent, but wood ashes or lime
should not be mixed with the manure,
as they are likely to cause the loss of
its most valuable fertilizing constitu-
ent, namely, nitrogen (ammonia). Oc-
casionally the litter from the poultry
house may be mixed with the manure.
This increases the bulk, but greatly re-
duces the value per pound of the ma
nure and makes it difficult to apply to
the soil, except where it is to be broad
casted and plowed in.
Poultry manure is particularly well
adapted to gardening, and poultry rails
ers should either use it on their own
gardens or dispose of it at a good price,
thus increasing the profits of their
flocks.

WHAT w. E. VAPLON
THINKS OF CROPS

'Spuds is the CROP said Farmer
Jones, "the crop that brings the silver
bones-the kale for which the farmer
hones.' "No, sir,' said Sweet, "give
me the beet. 1t pays for all the things
we eat, for shoes to fit the children s
feet; the beet pays for the light and
heat and puts us all on easy street" ."
90 You re both mistook,' said neighbor
Lee, "for if you'd look you'd surely
see there's gold in wheat; wheat's
what made me. Whatever anyone can
see in any other crop, beats me; give
me wheat said neighbor Lee. "Sure
wheat s all right said old man Wood
" No use to fight cause spuds are
good and beets amt bad, they bring
the mon and digging them is sure soma
fun; the beet man s work is never done.
But as for me,' said old man Wood,
'alfalfa blossoms sure smell good. AL
falfa g king Of all the crops, it beats
the spud and wheat and hops.u s'L
see you re just little off; all money
mad,' said Deacon Goff. "At spuds
and beets can but scoff and ask YOU,
gentlemen, to doff your beavers to the
crop that's worth more than all other
crops on earth. I'm speaking, men, Of
girls and boys, that bring the farmer
sweeter joys than Henry Ford with his
tin toys. Give me the kids and take
your wheat and hay and spuds and
sugar beet!"
