REMEDY FOR BLOAT
GIVEN IN BULLETIN
Experts Of Kentucky Station Rec
ommend Solution of For
malin as a DrenCh.

The cause Of and a remedy for clo-
YER bloat have been found by d. j.
Healy and ]. w. Nutter of the Ken
lucky agricultural experiment station.
These facts are announced in Circular
No. 5, recently issued by the Ken
lucky station:
Red clover blossoms contain about
S.6 per cent of sugar, alfalfa blossoms,
2.S per cent; white clover blossoms,
"a per cent. After being eaten by
stock this sugar undergoes rapid fer
mentation and is converted into car
bon dioxide. This causes the bloating.
The authors of the bulletin strongly
recommend for acute bloating one
quart of IL per cent solution of for.
malin. After this is administered, q
wooden block should be placed in the
animals mouth, and the animal should
be given gentle exercise if it can be
got on its feet.
Formalin is trade name for 4C
per cent solution of formaldehyde gas
in water and may be obtained at any
drug store for about 40 cents a pint
One-helf ounce of formalin in one
quart of water is the proper solution
with which to drench an animal.

FARM FERTILIZERS
HAVE GREAT VALUE
Barnyard Manure Improves Soil
and Makes 1t Easier to Hal
dIe-0ther Benefits.

Barnyard manure has value on the
farm aside from that as a fertilizer.
1t improves the physical conditions Of
the soil and makes it easier to handle.
Its decay produces heat and its pres
ence aids chemical and bacterial proc.
esses. Moreover, it absorbs and holds
a large amount of water and helps to
aerate the soil. The benefits of these
indirect aids to plant growth are in
some cases worth as much as the fer
tilizing power of the manure.
These are observations made by F.
L. Kennard, agronomist in the North.
west experiment station at Crookston,
in response to numerous questions re.
ceived from farmers.
When it is added that barnyard man.
ure is worth perhaps $3.50 ton, and
that each farm animal produces from
FIVE to seven tons per 1000 pounds OF
live weight each year, it is easy to see
that as fertilizer the material should
not be wasted
The best practice is to haul the stuff
directly from the barn to the fields. II
this is done, there is little loss trough
fermentation or teaching.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1916-04-13

For several years comparative tests
have been made by the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station of narrowing and roll
Ing winter wheat, the following &C
count of which is given by Mr.. E. G..
Montgomery:
Plats were seeded to Turkish red
winter wheat, some sown broadcast,
others put in with a press drill. Some
of the plats were narrowed in both
fall and spring, while others were har-
Yowed only in the spring, while third
set was rolled.
1t was quite evident from the re-
suits that no benefit was derived from
the narrowing. In fact narrowing
broadcast wheat resulted in an aver
age loss of almost three bushels per
acre, while narrowing drilled wheat
resulted in a loss of nine-tenths of a
bushel per acre."
The results from rolling were con-
elusive. In no year did it fail ito give
an increased yield, the average in
crease being 81 bushels per acre"
The rolling was given early in the
spring, soon after frost was out, and
about the time growth started. Har-
