Engineer Makes Inspection at Insti- gation of Governor and Finds
 Things in Fair Shape.

T. F. Nichols. engineer in the office of State Engineer Lamar $. Cobb re- turned to Phoenix yesterday after a trip to Flagstaff where he went at the request of Governor Hunt to in spect the brick used in the erection of the new addition to the Flag staff Normal School.
 Although Nichols had not prepared his report yesterday, he was willing to say that in his opinion all the agi- tation aroused by a former teacher in the school was groundless. The brick used in the new building is of the same variety used in the other build ings and is strong enough to carry five or six times the load now re- quired.
 Nichols found that the reports as to the brick made by the University of Arizona were acceptable. His report will be made to Governor Hunt in a day or so.

CAUSES FOR sc0URs IN PIGS
Quarters and Trouohs Should Be Kept
Clean to Prevent Trouble From
This Source.

Scours in pigs is a symptom of in
digestion and is usually caused by too
much feed, changing the feed of the
sow, dirty pens or chilling the sow in
cold rains or winds. The quarters and
troughs should be kept clean with
plenty of sunlight and good ventilation
to prevent trouble from this source.
If scours should appear in pigs in
spite Of all precautions, the following
treatment is recommended by the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station:
Clean up more thoroughly than before,
reduce the sow's feed and give table
spoonful of sulphur in each feed for
several days. 1t is also well to give
the sow good dose of EPSON salts. II
practicable, each pig may be given a
teaspoonful Of castor oil or EPSON
salts. Charcoal also should be pro-
vided.

LANSING, PRESIDENT FOR JUST ONE DAY

The next president of the United States will be
Robert Lansing of New York. the present secretary
of state.
Mr. Lansing's term of office does not depend
upon the action Of any political convention; 1t
is likewise irrespective of any primary or direct
election In point Of fact 1t dates back to January
49, 1886, when congress passed an act providing
that in the event of the death. removal resgna-
ton or inability of both the president and the vice
president of the United States, the secretary OF
state shall act president.
March A. 1917 will fall upon Sunday. and 1t Is
contrary to all precedent-although not in opposi-
tion to any lnw-to hold an Inauguration on Sun
day. Therefore the incoming chief executive Will
take the oath of office and commence his term
shortly after noon on March 8. President Wilson s
term commenced at noon on March 4, 1913; there
fore, according to the Constitution, which defines
the term of n president -four years" his tenure
of office will be over at noon March T. and, even
IL he is elected to succeed himself he cannot take
the oath of office until noon on the following day.
Vice President Marshall. of course, is under the
same disability the president Therefore the
secretary of state. Mr. Lansing. will be president
of the United States for the "a hours and some
minutes elapsing between noon Sunday, March
T. and the time that the president takes the
oath of office on the following day.
This brief term of office Is not n formality.
1t is an actual occupation of the power Of presi-
dent with all his authorities and prerogatives Mr..
Lansing-"President Lansing" for the day-will
be empowered to occupy the White House. to Is
pardons, to attend to all the other business of
which the chief executive has control, and to ride
to the capitol should he desire. as the outgoing
president on inauguration day.
Moreover. this is the first time in the history Of
the nation that secretary of state has had this
honor bestowed upon him and only the second
time in the 40 years of the existence the United
States that the office has been held by anyone
other than the president and vice president.

ration goes into that urine. So 1t is Important
to the urine for nitrogen is the most ex-
pensve element of manure or fertilizer. The other
two important plant foods are potash and phos-
phOrus.
Even though manure Is highly regarded by all
good farmers nevertheless there is probably no
product of equal value which is so miserably neg
lected and regarding which such real Ignorance
prevails The first great source of loss is through
the incomplete absorption of the urine. and 1t Is
not infrequent to see no attempt being made to
save this portion of the manure in spite of the fact
that it is richer In both nitrogen and potash than
is the dung and in spite of the fact that these fer
tilizers are available for the plant in the
urine than in the dung.
The second greatest source OF waste OF manure
is the loss Incurred by teaching If good-sized
manure pile is stacked up against the side of the
stable where the water from the caves can drip
it, or If 1t is piled on slope or other exposed
place, every heavy rain washes away crisp bank
notes In the form of nitrogen and potash. These
leached chemicals are the most valuable portions
of the pile the most available for plant forcing
The third common source of loss is that incurred
by heating and fermentng. When manure Is put
in piles 1t heats and throws Off more or less
gas and vapor. The fermentation which produces
gases is caused by the action of bacteria or
minute organisms The bacteria which produce
the most rapid fermentation in manure in order to
work their best. need plenty Of air, more strict
ly, oxygen. Therefore fermentation will be most
rapid in loosely piled manure. Heat and some
moisture necessary for fermentation. but, If the
because the temperature is lowered and much of
the oxygen excluded from the pile. The strong
odor of ammonia. so common around n stable, is a
simple evidence of the fermentation and the loss of
nitrogen which Is going on.
Fresh manure loses in the process Of decay from
40 to 20 per cent of its original weight An SO-ton
heap of COW manure left exposed for one year lost

Quoted by the United States department of agri-
culture showed that two tons of horse manure
posed in pile for five months lost 81 per cent of
its gross weight, 60 per cent of its nitrogen, AZ
per cent of It's phosphoric acid and 10 per cent of
its potash, average loss of three-ffths.
Five tons of cow manure exposed for the same
length of time in compact pile lost through leach
ing and dissipation of gases 40 per cent In gross
weight, IL per cent of its nitrogen, 10 per cent of
its phosphoric acid and per cent of Its potash.

M0LTING PERIOD IS TRYING
Poultrymen Wishing Winter Eggs Are
Anxious to Get Hens Through
Ordeal at Early Date.

The annual molt, which starts with
the arrival of dog days, is a most
critical time in the life of hens. She'd
ding old feathers and growing new
ones comes when the vitality is at
low ebb. In a normal molt about four
months are required for a complete
change of plumage, the first feathers
beginning to fall about July l. At
first the egg production does not
materially decrease. but as the pro-
cess advances the drain on the sys-
TEN increases until the production
gradually diminishes toward Septem-
ber 1. Usually egg-laying will not
commence again until the new set of
feathers is complete.
If, however, the poultryman is for
tunate enough to bring his hens sue
cessfully through the molt and get
them laying by mid-November, the
fowls will probably continue to lay
throughout the winter. Thus poultry
men wishing to produce winter eggs
for markets are very anxious to get
their hens through the molt at an
early date.
