FARM FERTILIZERS
HAVE GREAT VALUE

= = . 80 t - N -
Barnyard mauuee has value on
the farm aside from that as . fef-s
tilizer. It Improves the physical
conditions Of the soil and makes
1t easier to handle s
Its decay produces heat and It's
presence aids chemical and bac-
terial processes. Moreover, it alb
serbs and holds large amount of
water and helps to areate the soil.
The benefits of. these indirect aids
to plant growth are in some cases
worth as much as the fertil.zng
power Of the manure. -
These are observations made by
F. l.. Kennard, agronomist in the
Northwest Experiment Station at
Crookston. in response to numer-
GUS questions received from farm
ers.
. When it Is added that barnyard
manure is worth perhaps $3.50 Il
ton, and that each farm animal
produces from five to seven tons
per 1000 pounds of live weight
each year, 1t is easy to see that as
a fertilizer the material should not
be wasted.
The best practice is to haul the
stuff directly from the barn to the
fields. If this is done. there is lit
tie loss through fermentation o:
leachink.

KILLED BY TRAIN.

Langdon. n. D., April ia
most distressing accident occurred
at Nekoma when David B. Hasset
was struck by a passenger train
and killed. Mr.. Hasset lived west
of Nekoma, and had been to a
neighbor's to see about getting
some seed wheat. On the return
trip home it was necessary to cross
the railroad track. Il. a.s.
The afternoon passenger train
came along, and whether Mr.. Has
sett did not see it or the horses
became frightened and pulled onto
the track is not known. The sled
was completely demolished and
Mr.. Hassett was thrown a consid-
erable distance. s
The team was not injured.
