FRESH AND R0TTED MANURE

There seems 20 be n difference OF
opinion as 20 the value and use OF
fresh and well rotted manure. Almost
all authors on gardening recommend
the use OF "well-rOtted" manure for all
plants.
That well rotted manure Is the
safest and best for immediate results
IN general farm and garden practice,
f. admitted
But large quantities OF this fer
tilizer Is difficult 70 secure nj al times.
Besides. manure which has rotfed in
heaps. unless properly handled. hns
lost u large share Of its best ferillIz-
Ing properties. The greatest obisc-
ton TO the use OF fresh manure for
immediate plant growth is that II
burns the crop unless the growing sea-
son S very wet.
This. too. Il win be admitted. Is the
usual case; yet the bad effects from
the use Of fresh manure arise from i'm
proper methods OF applying the ma
nure and the working Of the soil afrer

Fresh manure may or may not heat

Then TO overcome the bad effects
OF the heat to the growing plants fresh
manure should be well scattered and
well mixed with the soil so that no
large amount will remain In any one
place

Washington. The war department
authorizes the following:
The present war brought forth q
new kind Of ammunition for airplane

larry susceptible to incendiasy explo'
sion, II was necessary to procure a
bullet containing an infiammahls sub
stnncs ignited upon discharge, which
would carry the spark Of fame into
the tank upon piercing II.
As the target, the enemy alTplane,
was within fighting range for only
brief moments at . time. and as there
were no means Of determining the lre
effect as on land, tracer bullet con.
tanning q bright.burning composition,
which would Indicate the path Of the
bullet Ia daylight as well a. In dark.

machine gun to be corrected, was In.
troduced. The composition II set on

At the outbreak Of the war, further
information was promptly gathered
from the allies and this subject was
studied by those responsible for this
work In the United States, OF course,
on account Of the difilnulties OF the
problem. hone Of the special bullets
