Making Manure More Valuable

The value Of barnyard manure
varies according to the way it is
treated, according to the Ohio Expert
ment Station. In one test Just an.
nounced in Bulletin 286, manure that
was untreated was worth $3.50 per
ton, and when treated with acid phos-
phate at the rate Of 40 pounds to the
ton and kept under cover, was worth
$3.50. The Experiment Station ex-
plains that manure is not well bal
anced fertilizer and that the addition
of acid phosphate should be made TO
obtain the highest results from its use

Need of Greater Soil Fertility

A rich soil is the first essential of
good farming. Too often we trv tn

USE COAL DUST FOR FUEL
Shortage Of Gas Causes Pittsburgh
Mills to Install New System.

Pittsburgh, Dec. 13.-Spurred on by
prospects of shutdowns during the
winter because of the shortage of gas,
manufacturers in the Pittsburgh dis
trict have been conducting expert
ments with coal dust, which, they as
sert, prove that the dust can be sub
stituted for gas. The process is to
blow the crushed coal into the open
hearth furnaces by means of com
pressed air.
This fuel, although not as cheap as
natural gas, is being furnished to
manufacturing plants Of the Pitts
burgh district considerably cheaper
than consumers gas.

Good Farming Outlook

1t looks as though the war is going
to last much longer. We predict that
it will bring the American farmer into
his own. He will receive prices he
deserves and even after the war the
higher prices will be maintained. So
certain is this that you can go ahead
with improvements now with perfect
confidence in steady markets. Invest
IN some good available fertilizer-it
will pay you we'll. Elk up your build.

Digs Potatoes With Gas Engine

Digging his potatoes with a gas
engine is what Isaac Harrison, a sue
cessful potato grower of Cream Ridge
n. j., has tried and found successful
He uses horses to pull the digger, but
by using the gas engine on the digger
is able to harvest his crop with two
instead of four horses. Mr. Harrison's
yields have been high each year, aver
aging over $50 bushels per acre. From
1000 to 1900 pounds of high grade
fertilizer is used by him per acre
Several other farmers near Cream
Ridge are planning to try out the same
use of the gas engine to harvest their
crop this season.
