PL0W IN PROPER CONDITION
Something Wrong When Farmer Must
Bear Down or Lift Up Handles
Study 10 Necessary.

A pillow in proper condition runs
smoothly and at an even depth, with
very little effort on the part OF the
plowman. When a pillow does not run
smoothly, when the plowman must
bear down or lift up on the handles, or
must constantly hold the pillow either
one way or the other to keep 1t from
tipping over, something is wrong with
it. The point tips down or up too
much, or the cutting edge Of the share
is dull or slants down or up too much.
A good plowman must know how a
good pillow should work and when it
does not 60 right should know what
is wrong with it. To know these things
requires as much thought and study
and mental and mechanical ability as
to understand a telephone or a tele-
graph instrument.

HEN MANURE IMPROVES SOIL
Droppings Should Be Collected Daily
and Mixed with Substances t.
Preserve Nitrogen.

According to the Maine station, the
droppings should be collected daily
and mixed with substances which will
az prevent loss Of nitrogen, (2) add
sufficient potash and phosphoric acid
to make a better balanced fertilizer.
and (3) improve the mechanical con-
dition Of the manur so that 1t can be
applied to the land with a manur
spreader.
This can be done as follows: To
each 30 pounds Of the manure add ten
pounds of sawdust. good dried loan.
or peat, Is pounds Of acid phosphate.
eight pounds of kainit. Such a mix
ture will contain about 1.25 per cent
Of nitrogen, AS per cent of phosphoric
acid, and 2 per cent of potash, which.
| used at the rate of two tons per acre
would furnish so pounds of nitrogen.
1876 pounds of phosphoric acid, and SO
pounds Of potash, and at the present
price of fertilizing ingredients is worth
| about $40 per ton. The mixture would
furnish q well balanced stable ferti-
lizer, which, although not fine enough
to work well in drills, can be success
fully applied with a INT spreader.
The treated manure should be well
sheltered until time to apply to the
land-that is shortly before blowing.

PROPER WATERING OF HORSE
Expert Of North Dakota Experiment
Station Suggests Water Be
Given Before Feed.

The proper watering Of the horse Is
important. Mr.. Peters Of the North
Dakota experiment station makes the
following suggestions. A horse that is
thirsty should be watered before being
fed hay or grain, rather than after.
The reason for this is that the stomach
Of the horse is comparatively small,
and IL he eats a heavy feed Of grain
or hay or both, and then drinks a large
quantity of water, a portion OF the
feed will be washed from the stomach
into the intestines before 1t has been
sufficiently acted upon by the digestive
fluids Of the stomach, and collie is like
" to develop. The regular practice
should be to water before feeding.

!. (By W. L M'ATEE.)
Horned larks are small but hardy
birds which frequent the open country
and never live In forests. They range
over practically the whole United
States, and are easily recognized by
the conspicuous black mark across the
breast and the small pointed tufts OF
dark-colored feathers behind the eyes.
These are often erected and cause the
appearance referred to In the common
name. These birds nest early, often be-
fore all the snow has disappeared, and
they have a joyous flight song in the
mating season.
The food of horned larks consists of
cO.6 per cent Of animal and 1914 per
cent Of vegetable matter. Not quite q
sixth Of the vegetable food Is grain,
mostly waste, though some %sprouting
grain is pulled. This is the most serf-
