An event of much interest to the
members and friends in tho Congre-
gational church and parish was a fare
well reception given Thursday evening
to Rev. Frederick H. Means, who
closes his eight years. pastorate Of the
church on Jan. 1. On February Mr..

ents there is likely to be considerable
mechanical loss in the form OF dust
and otherwise. The readily decompos-
able urates win probably break up
even faster than in the case OF dung
stored without chemicals. SO that q
very considerable part Of the nitrogen
of the day dung is probably lost fol-
agricultural purposes.
According to the last report Of the
State assessors there are about 2,000.-
900 hens. ducks and geese in Maine
The total droppings from these would
aggregate $4,000 tons Of which about
10000 tons will fall upon the roostins
boards and can be readily collected
and properly cared for.
By itself or with the additions Of
ordinary n-fertilizng absorbente
such as plaster or sawdust or loan
hen dung is a one-sided heterogeneous
fertilizer. AS usually managed one
half or more of its nitrogen Is lost, sc
that as ordinarily used It does not car
ry SO great an excess of nitrogen. Be-
cause of its high nitrogen content II
properly stored it is more economically
used in connection with manures car
rying phosphoric acid and potash. AS
both acid phosphate and kainit prevent
the loss Of nitrogen 1t is possible to
use them in connection with sawdust
or some other dry material as an alb
sorbent, so as to make a balanced
fertilizer.
The night droppings from 100 hens
will weigh about eight pounds. If this
is mixed with 8 pounds of dry saw
dust. dry peat. dry loan or other dry
absorbent, 4 pounds Of acid phosphate
and 2 pounds Of kainit and kept in a
dry place there will be no less of fer
tilizing ingredients and will be in a
good mechanical condition for use
Such mixture would carry about LIS
per cent. nitrogen. As per cent phos-
phorio acid and 2 per cent. potash
And when used at the rate Of two tons
per acre would furnish so pounds OF
nitrogen. 1855 pounds of phosphoric
acid and so pounds Of potash, or suf-
flcient to grow a liberal field crop. Be-
cause of their mechanical condition
the goods canont be well used with
machinery and. therefore. are better
adapted to garden purposes than for
fields.
Thc ABSORBENT ana the chemicals
should be kept conveniently at hand
The droppings should be treated each
day when collected. The. manure alb
sorbent and chemicals should be
weighed few times after which il
will be easy to make sufficiently close
estimates by measure.
The treated droppings should be
well sheltered until 1t is time to apply
them to the land. The station built q
water tight cement building with
wooden roof for this purpose. In the
end this is cheaper than any other
form of structure. Any small wooden
building or a bin in a larger building
can be used. The essential things are:
the immediate mixing of the absorb
ents and chemicals with the manure
and keeping the mixture dry until 1t il
used on the land.

HEN DR0PPINGS A VALUABLE MANURE
Methods Of Handling to Prevent Loss

Orono, Me-, Dec. 10.-(SpeciaD.-T
following was made public today by
Charles D. Woods. director of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at the University of Maine:
Some years ago the Maine Agricul-
tural Experiment Station made exper-
iments on adding materials to the
droppings from hens in order to fad
what additions would tend to conserve
the manure. These results were pub
lished in bulletin form. The bulletin
has been out of print for several years.
A condensed summary was published
in this series Of letters years ago. AS
the inquiry how to best handle hen
droppings Is still frequently received
the results of the experiments and
condensed directions for handling hen
manure are again briefly stated.
The dung of fowls contains. in addi-
ton to the undigested residue from the
food. the excrement from the kidneys
genous than that of other domestic
animals. Most Of the nitrogen is in the
form Of uric acid and is very readily
available to growing plants. 1t is, how
ever. very quickly changed by putre-
faction into carbonate of ammonia. AS
ordinarily stored much of the nitro
genOus matters of hen manure go off
into the air as ammonia gas and are
lost. For the purpose of the experiment
the droppings from roost closets from
$50 mature laying hens were collect
ed each morning for three days peri
cd. Each lot of droppings, equivalent
to the droppings from $40 hens from
one. night. weighed about As pounds.
Eight different lots were treated as
follows: One lot was mixed with u
pounds of kainit, another with 40
pounds of plaster, another with "a
pounds of acid phosphate, another
with Is pounds of kiln dried sawdust,
and each Of three others with Is
pounds Of sawdust to which were add
ed in one case 81 pounds of kainit, in
another 50 pounds of plaster and in
another At pounds of acid phosphate.
These lots were put in barrels and
stored in room in one of the barns
from May to November. They were
weighed and sampled in November.
The three nights droppings carried
originally about 1.o5 pounds Of nitro
gen. From the dung stored by itself
or with sawdust more than half Of this
escaped during the summer. The lot
stored with 40 pounds of plaster lost
about one-third, while the lot stored
with 81 pounds of plaster and sawdust
suffered no loss. The lots with kainit
and acid phosphate both with and
without sawdust, retained practically
all of the nitrogen. Both because of
the danger Of loss and it's tendency to
form into hard Jumps plaster is less
desirable than either of the chemicals
tried. The addition of sawdust mate
rally improved the mechanical condi-
ton of the lots.
The droppings during the day time
upon the floor are difficult to save
from waste. When the floors are COW
