Eskimo Lamps,

1t is believed that the Eskimo lamp
was invented before its posseSSors
emigrated from. their original home,
which was probably farther south and
near the seacoast But the form of
the lamp becomes more specialized the
higher the latitude is. The lamps OF
southern Alaska have Il wick edge OF
two inches while those of Point Bar
row and northern Greenland have wick
edges of II to 80 inches. The lamp is
employed for melting snow and ice to
obtain drinking water, for cooking,
lighting, warming, drying skins, and
in the arts. 1t is also social factor
and the sign of the family unit, eacf
head of family having his lamp.

MANURE SHOULD
HAVE PROPER CARE
No Product OF Equal Value Is
So Much Neglected.
MANURE HAS A MONEY VALUE
Every Step Should Be Made TO
Preserve All Manure Made
On Farm.

College Park, Dec. AT this sea
son of the year the attention OF the
farmer should be called to the i'm
portance of the conservation OF
manure. In one of the correspondence
lessons written by DR.. H. j. Patter-
son, Director, Experiment Station, the
following advice is given concerning
the case Of manure:
Even though manure is regarded
highly by all farmers in sections where
fertilizers are needed, nevertheless
there is probably no product of equal
value which is 80 much neglected and
SO poorly cared for.
The first great source of loss is
through the incomplete absorption OF
tho urine. 1t is not infrequent that no
attempt is made to save this portion
Of the manure. When 1t is remember
ed that the urine is richer in both
nitrogen and potash than the dung,
and that they are more available to
crops in the urine than in the dung.
It should be self-evident to all that 1t
Is highly essential that this part of
the manure be carefully saved.
The second greatest source of waste
Of manure is the loss incurred by leach
ing. If manure is piled against the
side of the stable where the water
from the roof can drip on it, or If it is
piled on the hillside or other exposed
places, the rain water in teaching
through the manure washes out of 1t
much nitrogen and potash, which Is
seen in the dark brown liquid oozing
from the base Of the pile.
The third common source Of loss is
that incurred by heating and ferment-
ing. When manure is thrown in piles,
1t soon heats and throws of more or
less vapor and gas. This heating is
caused by fermenting or breaking
down of the materials composing the
manure. The fermentation is caused
by the action of bacteria or low orders
Of microscopic plants. The bacteria
which produces the most rapid fermen-
tation in manure need plenty Of air or
oxygen. Therefore, fermentation will
be more rapid in loosely piled manure.
A certain amount of moisture is neces-
sary for fermentation, but II the
manure is wet, fermentation is checked
because 1t lowers the temperature and
excludes part of the supply of air.
The fermentation which takes place
in manure breaks down the organic
matters and causes loss Of humus,
and also of nitrogen through the am
monium compounds which are yolatil-
lied. The odor Of ammonia which is
commonly noticeable about horse
stables and piles Of horse manure is an
evidence of the fermentation and loss
which is taking place.
Care OF Manure.
The first step to be taken in the care
OF manure, so as to prevent the losses
mentioned above. is to provide suf-
ficient bedding or litter in the stable
to absorb and save all the liquor parts.

Cripple Who Made Good.

An interesting case that came before
the federal employment agency of the
United States was that of cripple
who applied at the New York office for
q position as barnman on dairy
farm. The governments labor agent
sent him to a dairy farmer who had
applied for help. When the cripple ar
rived at the dairy farm, the farmer,
greatly incensed at the mans intirmity,
refused to let him go to work, and
Immediately communicated to the
agent his Indignation at being supplied
with "a poor excuse for man." The
agent insisted that the farmer give the
cripple chance to show his ability.
Also, he made the proposition that
instead of the $25 month named as
wages in the former agreement, the
cripple should be allowed to work at
the rate of dollar a COW per month,
he to milk all the cows he could
handle. The farmer took the agent up
on this offer, with the result that the
cripple has been getting $50 month
for his work.-World's Work.

known to shake to it's very foundation

when dog trots across it.
Another arms oddly of Biblical in
terest was the ruse employed by
Gideon leader of only 300 Israelites.
who successfully engaged vast host
of Midianites and Amalekites that LAY
along in the valley like grasshoppers
for multitude; and their camels were
without number, as the sand by the
seaside for multitude" Gideon's en-
gines of destruction were 800 trumpets,
800 empty pitchers and 300 lamps with
in the pitchers. AS the enemy's camp
was approached during the night the
pitchers were smashed, the lamps held
aloft in the left hand, while terrifying
blasts from the 300 trumpets spread
CONSERVATION and terror among the
sleepers who In darkness Imagined that
they had been attacked by great
army. The result was wholesale
slaughter among themselves while the
followers of Gideon watched.

HAD ORIGIN IN SENTIMENT
Interesting to Trace the Beginnings Of
Holidays That Are Distinctly
American.

First and last, enough sentiment has
been expended upon American politics
to equip a regiment of poets laureate.
Distinctly American holidays are full
of it. Fourth of July, of course, made
itself. The 22nd of February became
one by common consent. 1t had its
origin in a convivial supper IN New
York tavern in 1888, when company
met to listen to an original ode and
drink innumerable toasts. Enthusiasm
survived the wine, and as the gentle
men went gayly and unsteadily home
they swore to meet again on future
anniversaries. Regarded at first as a
purely party custom, it broadened be-
yond federal circles to take in all
Americans. JeffersOn'S followers at
tempted u similar observance in his
honor but he countered with another
bit of sentiment refusing to divulge
the date, on the ground that only the
birthday of the nation should be SO
treated.
Thanksgiving was sectional and re-
ligious as well as political, and senti-
ment graced it in plenty. One of the
customs that fingered in good old New
England households until the middle of
the last century was to lay five grains
of corn upon the plate of every person
ut table in memory of day in early
colonial history when five ships came
sailing into harbor just in time to
chase away the specter of famine. 1t
was Washington who appointed the
first national day of thanksgiving at
the instance of congress, after the
adoption of the Constitution. For
many years, however, annual observ-
ance of the day remained matter Of
state action, virtually confined to New
England. Like the 22nd day of Feb
ruary, it became national custom
only gradually; unlike the 22nd day of
February, it spread largely through
the influence of woman, Mrs. Sarah
Joseph Hale, who advocated 1t for 70
wears in the editorial columns of God
ey's Ladys Book.-Helen Nicolay In
the Century.

healthy and vigorous. it put them In
the best condition to make good gains
from their grain feed.
1t pays to feed grain on pasture, for
pasture alone will do little more than
keep up pigs weight. A light to
medium grain ration is usually most
profitable. About two or three pounds
Of grain day Is good ration for
shoats weighing eighty to one hundred
pounds. If you have scales, weigh
your pigs occasionally and feed about
three pounds of grain daily for each
100 pounds live weight of hogs.
Good rations for summer feeding are
easily obtained. On clover, alfalfa or
rape pasture, feed corn and a little
skim milk. On blue grass or timothy
pasture feed three pounds Of skim
milk to each two pounds of corn.
More milk would do no harm. If
skim milk Is not at hand, it will pay
to feed Oil meal or tankage with the
corn, where blue grass or timothy pas
ture is used about one part tankage
to eleven parts corn or one part oil
meal to seven parts corn.

The losses due TO fermentation can
be greatly checked by mixing horse
manure with the colder cow manure;
by making the piles compact as to ex-
clude the air; and by moistening the
pile so as to assist in excluding the air
and also to lower the temperature. The
use of chemicals or mechanical absorb
ents, such as peat, kainit, phosphate
rock, etc, in the stable and sprinkled
over the manure, assists in preserving
the manure and preventing loss.
Losses from washing or teaching by
rain may be prevented by piling under
cover or in favorable basin-like places,
or still better, by hauling it directly to
the field and spreading it as soon as it
is produced.

Application OF Manure.

In order TO reduce the loss in manure
to a minimum, and also to economic
in handling it, the Seneral aim and
practice should be to haul II directly
from the stable to the field and spread
il at once. On the average farm the
following of this practice all through
the year would result in less loss than
any method that could be pursued
The use of rotted manure rather
than fresh manure is desirable in con.
nection with many market garden or
vegetable crops, as it gives quicker re-
suits and with root crops will give a
smoother and nicer = "Oduct.

NOTES FOR SHEEP BREEDERS
Flock Should Be Provided With Dry
Yard and Shed Floor-Drafty
Barn Is Poor Shelter.

Feed the sheep well in early winter.
The sheep flock should have access
to clean, pure water, even If they
don't drink much.
The condition Of the fleece next
spring depends upon how well the
sheep is cared for now.
If you can't provide your flock with
dry yard and shed floor, sell them
to your neighbor who can. You will
never succeed with sheep kept in a
wet, muddy yard.
An open shed facing the south, with
a strawstack on the southwest side, is
better than IA Crafty barn for sheep.
