MAKING USE OF LIMESTONE
Interesting Results Of Professor True
mans Experiments on Nova
Scotia College Farm.

In regard 10 the use Of limestone,
the results Of Professor TTueman' S
experiments on the Nova Scotia col.
lege farm are Of interest One ex-
pertinent was with clover, two half
acre plots OF which averaged IL tons
more clover per acre on lined areas
than on adjoining uniimed plots.
However, on a very rich piece OF land
where the same experiment was tried
practically no difference was noted,
and on the very poor areas the differ.
erence was very small indeed.
Practically all the soil on the col.
Iege farm gives a slight acid reaction
to the litmus test, as do most soils
in Nova Scotia which have been in.
yestigatod by the college chemist.
This indicates the necessity Of lining.
That the college management be,
Iieve in their experiments is indicated
by the fact that they are this year ap-
plying to various fields upwards Of $50
tons Of ground limestone. Provided
the material can be purchased reason.

POTASH IN LIQUID MANURE
German Farmer Exercises Greater
Care Of Natural Resources Than
Do Farmers of United States.

The German though he controls the
worlds supply of potash takes much
greater care OF the natural sources
Of it On the farm than We DC in the
country. Almost every farmer in that
country has some kind Of an arrange.
ment to catch the urine and the
teachings from the manure pile. The
arrangements made for this purpose
vary among the different farmers. 4
couple Of examples, however, will
probably suffice to give an idea.
The first and most common sys
TEN among small farmers is to con.
struct Cistern and connect to the
stable, and il possible also to the
manure pile by means of a conduit
When the cistern is filed with the
urine, the latter is pumped into a bar
rel, or sometimes on a load of ma
Hure, by stationary pump, OF
brought up by buckets.
Another arrangement consists Of a
rectangular pit with an impervious
bottom, The manure is piled up on
this pit. The urine which drains from
the pile and which comes directly
from the stalls through the conduits,
is gathered at the deepest part of the
pit, at which point a pump is installed

weight. As the farrowing date comes
closer the ration should be reduced
somewhat This will bring the SOW
M to narrowing time in good cOndi-
ton. She will not he so feverish and
restless, so there will be less danger
Of her MASKING her pigs when she far
rows.
An important precaut!on to be OBJ
served in caring for the narrowing sow
is not to supply her with too much
bedding; a bushel of wheat chat or
cut straw is good. II the place where
the SOW is to farrOw is warm it will
not be needed for warmth. The dan
ger of Supplying too much bedding is
that the pigs will be covered by it
and be smothered or crushed. 1t may
be necessary to change the bedding
after the SOW farrows. but the amount
should not be increased.
The less a SOW is disturbed at far
rowing time the better, and for that
reason she should be kept separate
from the other hogs. While someone
should be on hand, unless she needs
assistance it is best to keep away from
her. 1t it does become necessary to
help her, do it as quietly as posi-
Bile.
The pigs should not be chilled be-
fore they have dried off and sucked, so
II the weather is cold, a lantern hung
in the top Of the cot will be Of serv-
fee. If the SOW is gentle, it is we'll to
take each pig away from her as soon
as it is narrowed, and place it in a
box or barrel containing some hot
bricks covered with old sacks. After
the pigs have dried off and are lively
enough, they may be put with the
SOW. In case the pigs do become
chilled, the best way to revive them is
to dip them in hot water.
AS the pigs are not able to take
much milk, the flow should not be
stimulated for a few days. Give the
SOW plenty of water, as she is in fe-
verish condition, but take the chill off
Of 1t If the day is cold 1t is not nee
essary to feed the SOW for a day or
two, and the first feed given should
consist Of small amount Of thin slop,
which should be gradually increased
as the pigs become able to take mere
milk. In two weeks time she should
be on full feed, which should consist
OF a good. laxative, r.iik-producing
feed. There is no better way CT feed
ing the pigs than through the mother,
so feed the SOW for the greatest
amount Of milk.
