Of the Lincolns in Springfield, Ill. was
filed with friends and relatives, ell
eager for some news Of the election
results. The reports for awhile had
been coming in early and favorable,
but after awhile they began to be less
promising. Mrs. Lincoln had been BY
her husbands side all day. he now
insisted that she retire. The crowd
gradually began to dwindle. Then
came the news that New York had
been carried, followed Immediately BY
the report that Lincoln. had carried
the country. The rest Of the story
would be better told by the great man
himself.

Preservation of Hen Manure.

fWm. C. Monahan, Extension Instructor in
Poultry, University of Maine)
Hen manure contains more nitrogen
than any other farm manure because 10
birds the excretion of the kidneys is
voided in solid form with the droppings.
This form of nitrogen is readily avail
able to the plant and consequently
makes valuable fertilizer. At the same
time 1t requires special treatment in or
der to preserve the nitrogen and to use
1t economically.
The poultrymau who properly cares
for the droppings can add considerably
to bis profits. One hundred hens will
drop approximately eight pounds OF ma
nure on the dropping board each night.
During the day. perhaps once and bali
as much goes into the litter. The fer
tilizing value of this is, Of course, to q
great extent lost. However, there 10 no
reason why the value of the night drop.
pings cannot be conserved, although, as
il is generally handled It is safe to esti'
mate that more than half of 1t is wasted.
In the preservation of ben manure
there are two considerations to be made:
first. to improve its mechanical condi.
tiou so that 1t may be more conveniently
stored and handled; and second, to bal
anoe It up and make . stable fertilizer
less extravagsnt Of nitrogen. For the
| frat purpose worn out litter, sawdust,
loam and peat will serve. Lime and
wood ashes should not be used because
thew tend to liberate nitrogen. To bal.
snce the nitrogen, phosphorus and po'
tassIum are needed. While high prices
prevail the potash may be omitted.
Both acid phosphate and kainit pre-
vent the loss of nitrogen and conse'
uuently they can be used In conjunction
With the sawdust, loan or other material
| and the droppings, to make we'll bal
anced fertilizer. A mixture OF 80 pounds
| of hen manure. 10 pounds sawdust, 10
pounds acid phosphate, and 8 pounds
kainit carries 1,25 percent nitrogen, 40
percent phosphoric acid, and 2 percent
potash, which, II used at the rate OF z
tons Der acre. would furnish 80 pounds
nitrogen, 1876 pounds phosphortc acid,
and 80 pounds potash.
If dry 1t Is q good plan to apply the
absorbent material directly to the drop.
ming board 80 that the droppings will
start easier when the board is again
cleaned. The acid phosphate and kaintt
lshould be kept handy to the pit or bar
rels in which the manure is stored &c
that treatment may be made at the time
of ZACH collection. At first 1t would be
veil to weigh the ingredients q few
times. after which sufficiently accurate
sstimstes can be made by measure. The
nronortlons of the chemicals may be
sssilv remembered as roughly IL par!
