STRAW FOR fertility
Practice Of Burning Piles After
Threshing Is WastefuI.
Soils In Many Sections Would b
Greatly Benefited by Addition Of
FertilizinQ Constituents
Present in Stalks.

From the time the prairies were first
cultivated up to a year or so ago 1T
was the general custom to burn the
piles of straw which dotted the fields
after the fall %threshing. In fact, 1t is
yet n very common practice and a very
wasteful me-.
It is an established fact that or
ganic matter is essential for soil fer
tility. No one disputes the fact that
our prairie soils are already rich in
this essential, but In many sections the
soils would be greatly benefited by
the addition of the fertilizing const!tu-
ents which are present in the straw.
Hopkins Of Illinois gives the value
Of oat straw for manurial purposes at
$3.50 per ton. Wheat straw is valued
at S2.5S per ton. The same relative
comparison gives the value Of fresh
farm manure at 1920 and %barnyard
at $2.34 per ton. Anyone who
destroys a ton of wheat or oat straw,
therefore, destroys more fertilizing
elements than are contained in the
average farmyard manure
The best method of handling straw
Is to feed it to stock and return the
manure to the land. Thus it serves
a double purpose-fodder and manure
When fed to horses or cattle on q
maintenance ration or those doing
comparatively little work, oat straw
is considered by Hoard's Dairyman Il
be from One-half to tWO-thirdS thu
value Of good clover and timothy hay
The manure from one ton of whea'
straw is worth $1.52. and that from :
ton OF oat straw is worth 1874. Thu.
the wnstefulness Of burning straw i
evident.
When sufficient live stock Is no
kept, however, to use all of the straw
in this way, the straw can be returnet
directly to the land. 1t may be spreat
and plowed under or used as a tol
dressing on grain or pasture.

QUALITY IS MOST ESSENTIAL
Greatest Profit Can Be Expected Only
From Live Stock of the Very
Highest Grade.
(Rv =. A. TROwBR1DGE.)

(By e. A. TROWBRIDGED
Quality becomes more essential to
profit in live stock farming each lei
son. When labor. land, and feed were
cheap it was possible to realize a prof
it on live stock of an inferior grade,
but with the present high cost of these
production factors and q constant dis
elimination on the market against the
Scrub" 1t has become evident that
the greatest profit can be expected only
from live stock of good quality. 1t
may be possible for the feeder or deal
er to make a profit on inferior live
stock if he is able to buy it sufficiently
cheap and sell quickly, but usually
has not realized the greatest
possible profit when a scrub goes to
market. If it is not the feeder, it is
the man who produced the animal.

HAVE LIVE STOCK INSURANCE

Mutual live stock insurance was h

ATTENTION TO LATE CHICKS
Wet Mash, With Grain Feeding, Morn
ing and Nights, Will Give Most
Excellent Results.

Late chicks should be given special
attention at this time and forced for
rapid growth. Wet mash. such as
equal parts Of cornmeal, bran and mid
dlings. mixed to a crumbly consistency
with milk and fed twice per day, with
a grain feed morning and night, will
give good results.
Chicks that haven't learned to ronst

Sweet clover helps to maintain the
