NO PROFIT FERTILiZING
THE BARNARD
Manure at $3.50 Ton Should Be
Fertilizing the Fields

They tell us that the commercial
value of a ton of fresh horse manure
is about $3.50 The crop-increasing
value is still more.
Now that looks good, doesn't it?
But just wait moment. We said
fresh manure Let's see what may
happen to this pile if it is not properly
taken care of.
Experiments tell us that if that ton
should be left to leach in the yard
from April 25th to September 25th,
about six months, there will be a loss
of 60 per cent nitrogen, AZ per cent
phosphorus, and 76 per cent of potash.
The commercial value will have fallen
from $3.50 to 1896 per ton waste of
$314. Can you afford this?
"StOp-LOOk and Listen!"
Suppose you let couple of hundred
loads lie that way. Two hundred
loads at 5000 pounds each would mean
300 tons A loss of $3.14 for each of
just thrown away. Do you feel you
can afford that when prices for farm
produce are so high and Uncle Sam
needs the grain so badly to send to our
boys who are Somewhere in France"
fighting for your home and mine?
The biggest help towards preventing
such loss is manure spreader. 1t
saves SO much time and labor that
manure can be hauled out daily and
spread on the field where it belongs
It's easy to spread with a spreader
The job is not put off, as it is when
spreading must be done by hand. Ex-
perimenters tell us that manure loses
nothing by drying. The fermentation
which goes on in the pile, causing loss
of ammonia, stops when the manure is
dried up. Of course, rains will fall on
the manure spread on the field, but
the plant food is washed into the soil
where it belongs.
Composing Not Necessary
Many people are still of the idea
that composing is necessary for liberia
ton of the plant food. This may be
necessary on truck farms, but actual
experimenting along this line has
shown that for general farm purposes
composing is not necessary. Too
much valuable plant food is lost by
teaching and other processes. The
plants cannot assimilate it fast enough
Spreader Saves Fertility, Labor and
Money
Many, many tests have shown the
spreader to pay for itself in one sea-
son on less than fifteen acres of land,
when comparing it's results with those
Of hand spreading. This is due to the
more even distribution and the saving
of labor and horse power.
The more liberal use of spreaders
in this county would be mighty good
thing.

THE CIRCUS

The children's circus last Wednes-
day afternoon at the house of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. c. Orvis was a unique event in
the history of the village. Grown-up
people have often arranged entertain
ments in which children took part; but
the circus originated with the children
themselves, and was carried on by
them through all its stages.
1t was remarkable how completely
they managed to produce the circus
atmosphere. The circular tent, label
ed Walter L. Mains Shows the car
pets spread down for the acrobatic
feats, the costumes, the ringmaster,
the peanuts for sale, the music, the
menagerie, the general air of excite
mnet, hustle and noise, all contributed
successfully to the effect.
There was bareback riding and sew
eral clown acts by Charles Orvis,
singing by Ruth Hard, dancing by
Mary Margaret Regain and Sarah Will
liams, acrobatic feats by Joseph Will
Hams and Harold Meyer, clown num-
bers by Frederick Meyer and clown
dancing and other humorous numbers
and Rotations in which Margaret

troupe. The drilling was capably done
by Mary Williams and the box office
and the music were in charge respec-
lively of Catherine and Susie viii
liams. Prentice Porter and Burnham
Hawley had charge of the animals.
The impromptu ring master was Mr..
McGrey He impaired great deal of
spirit and style to the performance
Among the audience who numbered
rs or more, was an old lady Of the
olden times, and young man, appar-
emily a member Of minstrel COM
pany, with remarkable suit Of patch
ed clothes. The last number was cake
and ice cream for the audience.
Though the price Of admission was
very low, the proceeds amounted to
six dollars. The children in the neigh
borhood had decided to make the prof
its a birthday present to Charles Orvis
who originated the idea Of the circus,
and furnished the tent, and on whose
sixth birthday it took place; but
Charles with their consent turned over
