ARE Tor Manure Produced
'ooo winch 1t Contains the Fertility Of The Soil

prepared by the United States De,ar.-
ment Of Agriculture)
NO farming people have ever been
able economically to maintain the fer
Unity OF their soils without the usn Of
I'VE stock. Farming without the use
OF manures Is q waste Of energy and
results in the exhaustion of soils. The
neglect IN preserving and increasing
the quantity Of farm manures has
been great drain on the natural ro-
sources or the American farm, eSDe-
cially in the southern portion of the
United States. The lack of intelligent
care Of the waste products and the
convenient form Of commercial fertil-
iZers have Jointly been responsible for
the almost general neglect of farm
manures.
Value Of Fertilizers.
Commercial fertilizers have played
and will continue to play q great part
In the farm economy of the country.
Their full value, however cannot be
obtained by their exclusive use. A
much greater value can be had from
them when used wisely in connection
with manure and green crops. One Of
the principal reasons for the small
value sometimes realized from manure
of any kind is that it has not been
properly handled and through expo
sure and neglect has lost a large per-
centage Of its plant food. The chief
difference between barnyard manure
and other vegetable matter Is that the
process of passing through the animal
has rendered the fertilizlng elements
soption In plant growth. The best
authorities tell us that from Is to 80
per cent Of the fertilizing value of

Loss by Leaching.
The Cornell University experiment
station found that as much as so per
cent of the plantfO0d constituents In
manure was lost by leaching and IN
necessary Fermentation. The problem
is how best and most economically ia
prevent this loss. The best plan where
it is practicable IS to haul out the ma.
nure regularly, spread it upon the land,
and pillow 1t under. The best results
are usually obtained by turning under
shallow. The next best plan is to keep
the stock under sheds or in stables
with sufficient litter to absorb all liq.

erably to it.
When neither of these plans can be

heating, which is especially liable to
happen when horse manure predomi-

DON'T DISTURB LAYING HENS
Undue Excitep1ent in Poultry House Is
Sound to Reduce Egg Yield Of
Young Fowls.

1t pays to be quiet and careful in
the houses containing laying hens, es-
pecially if they are pullets from the
range which have just commenced to
lay. Strangers that visit poultry plants
should realize that undue excitement
is bound to reduce the egg yield and
make every effort not to brighten the
birds by sudden movements. A strange
child running through poultry house
will frighten the hens and sericUe'y
reduce the laying for that day.
