VALUE OF BARNARD MANURE
Price Fixed at So to 50 Per Ton for
Use on Farm Crops by Ohio Elk
pertinent Station.

Can barnyard manure be worth IS
to 50 a ton for use on farm crops? AT
present prices for commercial fertil-
i2ers, it has had this value in tests con-
Quoted by the Ohio agricultural eX-
pertinent station.
Eight tons of manure REINFORCED
with 800 pounds of acid phosphate has
been as effective in increasing crop
yields as the same quantity of acid
phosphate mixed with $50 pounds Of
nitrate of soda and 260 pounds of
muriate of potash. in tests covering 20
years at the experiment station at
Wooster.
Nitrate Of soda now costs nearly
cents a pound, and muriate of potash
20 cents. AT such prices the eight tons
of manure has had a replacement val
ne of at least so.
Every pound of manure saved and
used with the utmost economy will re-
lieve the fertilizer situation this year
and put crop yields on a higher level.

GLOVER CROP FLOWED UNDER
Humus May Be Largely Saved by
Flowing Under in FaIl-Ntrogen
Also is Conserved.

Glover cut and allowed to remain
on the surface of the ground for seven
months from fall to spring loses about
the same amount of organic matter as
when fed to live stock according to
recent experiments at the Onto expert
ment station This amount Of humus
may be largely saved by blowing the
crop under in the fall.
G. f. Boltz, assistant chemist, in a
discussion in the stations monthly
bulletin, says that only about one
third of the clover remained in the
spring when the crop was left on the
surface. When it was pIowed under,
about three-fourths of the original
weight was found in the spring.
From analyses Of the drainage wa
ter it was found that four times as
much nitrogen was lost from the plot
with clover lying on the surface as
from that having clover Incorporated
in the soil.

LEAVES STORED FOR WINTER
They Are Easily and Quickly Gath
cred in Various Wsys-Bie Pieces
of Cloth Excellent.
CBy NJ. A. covERDELL.l


II farmers only understood the
many uses to which leaves could be
put, more of them would be stored.
Some may think it takes too much
tine and labor but they are easily
and quickly gathered in various ways.
One good plan is to have cheap bar
rels handy, fill them with leaves, and
set them away where rain or snow will
not reach them.
Another method by which the stor-
age of leaves may be accomplished is
that of using common gunny or bur
lap sacks. These, also, may be stored
away without emptying the sacks, and
they will be in convenient shape to
use few at time during the winter.
If one has only small number of
sacks, the leaves may be carried and
emptied from the sacks into some out
building not in use; but where one
desires to store a considerable guam
tity, we find that bed-sheets, or SINH
lar pieces of cloth, are excellent for
Ne purpose.
Simply spread them on the ground;
rake up the leaves with a common
garden-rake and pile them on the
sheet; catch hold of each of the four
corners and draw them together.
large quantity can be carried in
this manner, and when it is desired to
empty the sheet, let go of one corner
and allow the leaves to roll out.

CARE OF DAIRY CALF
Labor Expense in Raising Heifer
Is Not Large.
Stockma1 Who Has Disease-Free Herd
10 Assuming Risk of Introducing
Disease When New Animal
Is Purchased.

tBy X. S. HULCE and w B. NFVFNS)
During the past five years the feed
cost of raising heifer to two wears
of age has probably been about $50,
except where cheap pasture was avail
able. The total cost of raising includes
also the items of labor, housing and
miscellaneous expenses. In consider
ing the latter items it is well to men
ton the fact that on the ordinary
farm the additional labor expense
which the raising of a few calves in
wolves is not large. The expense in
volved makes it apparent that unless
the animal is from ancestry the fe-
males of which are capable of pro-
ducing product that will sell for more
than the expense of producing it. the
heifer should not be raised. On the
other hand, the s,ockman who has
disease-free herd is assuming a risk
of introducing disease when a new ami
mai Is purchased. Considerations such
as these confront every owner of dairy
cattle.
The Importance of feeding the calf
regularly cannot be overemphasized.

Jersey Calf One Year Old.

The digestive capacity of the young
calf is not suited to receive large
quantities of milk at a time, but is
better adapted for receiving small
amounts often. A young calf fed milk
three times daily will thrive better
than if fed the same total amount in
two feeds, providing the milk is always
fed in Il uniform condition.
A general guide for using whole
milk is to feed il at the rate of one
pound daily to each eight pounds of
live weight rarely feeding more than
u pounds per day. The length of the
time whole milk should be fed will de-
pend quite largely on whether skim
milk is available If skim milk is to
be had, it can be fed to good advan-
tage at the rate of about - p5Nnds
daily, instead of T.. to calves of the
larger breeds. The ufe Of factory skim
milk has several disadvantages rs com
pared with fresh, farm-separated milk
II the milk is pasteurized at the fac
tory, it may be too warm to feed wher
it reaches the farm iii the forenoon
and at night it viii need warming. In
summer there may be times when the
factory skim milk will sour during the
day, SO that it is difficult to keep the
milk in d uniform condition for calf
feeding. In the feeding of calves, sud
den changes either in quality or guam
tity Of feed are to be avoided if the
best use is to be made of the feed.
Diseases such as tuberculosis and
foot-and-mouth disease may be carried
! by skim milk unless it is thoroughly
pasteurized at the factory.
