Robert McBroom concerning certain
mining matters. Suddenly he arose
and confronted Judge Witcher as the

started TO ascend the steps leading

HAYDEN BILL FOR
RESERVATION AID

PHOENIX. May 31-Tn accordance
with suggestions made by the Cham
Der of Commerce last month, Con.
gresham Carl Hayden has just intro
dused a bill in congress to authorize
the advancement of money for the
construction of roads across Indian
reservations. Mr.. Hayden yesterday
sent TO the local Office a copy of the
bill.
He explains that the western rep
resentatives are fighting to keep in
the Bankhead good roads bill,
clause authorizing the advancement
OF funds for building roads across
forest reserves. Taking the two to-
sether they will permit of the con
struction of many miles OF much
needed roads in Arizona, in which are
many thousands of square miles I'M
der forest and Indian reserves.
Mr.. Hayden believes the bill has
a good chance of passing at the pres
ent session of congress, as it merely
authorizes the expenditure of funds
to be repaid from later receipts from
fees, and does not make a definite
appropriation

3ARNYARD MANURE GOING TO WASTE.

BARNARD MANURE GOING TO WASTE.
farmers are getting the most from the
manure produced on their farms, yet
many could we'll emulate the Euro
pean farmer in this matter, who saves
carefully and utilizes every pound of
manure available.
The farmer who feeds as much live
stock as possible may figure that he is
receiving a double remuneration from
his crops-first, from the marketing of
feeds through live stock, and, second,
from the fertilizing substances which
are left in the manure. Practically all
Of the nitrogen, phosphorus and potash
which are in the feeds are recovered in
the manure from live stock. All land
owners, farmers and tillers of the soil
should always be keenly conscious of
this fact and employ methods of man.
agement accordingly.
1t is we'll known fact that the ami
NAL uses the nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium and other elements Of the
foodstuff to build up the body, carry
on the work Of the body and to pro-
same time we must remember that all
Of these processes involve the building
up and breaking down of body cells,
and the component parts Of these
broken down cells are thrown off as
waste matter.
In this waste matter we have the
same elements as we're in the food
~%,,fF tn
growing animals, whose bodies are in
creasing in size, practically the same
amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium are voided in the manure as
were contained in the foods eaten.
The exact percentages Of these sub
stances voided by live stock varies
within wide limits, depending largely
upon the age and kind of animal
amount Of food eaten, work which the
animal is doing and various other fac
tors. A young and growing animal re-
tains large part Of these elements in
the growing tissues Of the body. A
dairy COW uses a portion Of them in
the production of milk. A hard work
ing horse or mature fattening animal
voids from 80 to 100 per cent Of them.
1t is then evident that a large per-
centage Of the elements Of plant food
removed from the soil by growing
crops remains on the farm where these
crops are fed and that the manurial
value Of foods is in direct proportion
to their composition.
When the farmers Of our coun-
try thoroughly appreciate the actual
amounts Of fertilizing constituents
which are contained in farm manures
and intelligently care for and utilize
the manure produced on their farms
they can save millions of dollars in
fertilizer purchases, and the necessity
of depending upon the purchase of
these fertilizers, followed by the oc-
currences of crises in the fertilizer sit
uatlon such as now exists in some Sec
tions. will be largely decreased.
