HANDLING FARM MANURE

AS prices of farm products have in
creased and the average fertility of
our soils has decreased, the saving of
barnyard manure has become a mat
ter of vital Importance in our system
of agriculture, says F. l.. Duley of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. From time immemorial ma
nuring has been known to be the most
logical and practicable method of
maintaining a soils productiveness.
Its extensive use and careful hand
ling, however, have always been de-
layed until the soil was materially re-
duced in fertility and the supply of
plant food markedly depleted. Most
cultivated soils in Missouri have lost
fertility by long and continuous CROP
ping, to such an extent that they give
marked increases in yield where ma
nure is applied. This fact is bringing
about an Increasing interest in the
handling of this valuable product. Ma
nure is no longer considered as some
thing to be got out of the way, but
rather the vost valuable by-product
of the farm. Much less manure is
wasted than was the case ten years
ago, yet there is still much room for
improvement. Not many men delib-
erately neglect the manure, but the
better known methods Of handling it
have not been adopted by the major
ity of farmers in Missouri. At con-
servatiye estimate they lose at least
twenty million dollars year, an
amount equal TO sixty cents for each
acre of cultivated land in the State,
because Of their failure to make use of
the best known methods Of handling
and utilizing the fertility in manure.
The best methods of handling ma
nure are set forth by Mr.. Duley in
Bulletin 166 which may be had free on
application to the College of Agrieul-
ture, Columbia, Mo.

BETTER BRED BIRDS
LAY THE EGGS

Poultry keepers interested in in
creasing the egg production of their
fiocks will pay marked attention to the
methods of feeding, housing, culling
and breeding. Probably the least pro-
gress on most farms has been made
in the art of breeding poultry, says
L. s. Townsley,9 of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture, in
Extension Circular ~.
To produce highlayers only the best
individual producers should be used as
breeders, This suggests the necessity
for having a special breeding flock.
On farms where eggs for setting are
saved from the entire flock, selection
is usually based only on the size and
shape of the eggs. With this system
the breeder stands a good chance of
setting many eggs from the very low
est producers. Even the poorest hens
lay fairly well during the Matching
season and their eggs are usually
large and smooth. This method of
mass collection of setting eggs is in
the same class as the crib selection of
seed corn and will bring just as poor
results. The first step in improving
the egg production is the establish
ment of special breeding flock.
No special fencing is necessary to
handle the flock. Free range gives
ideal conditions for breeding fowls. A
pen is a great detriment to the eff
ficiency of the breeding flock ana is
not at all needed on the farm. Close
confinement reduces the vitality of the
stock and results in poor matches and
weak chicks.
Where separate houses are avail
able for the breeding flock and the
commercial flock, free range can be
given the birds in each group. If feed
is kept constantly available in the
mash hoppers in each house the birds
will return to the proper house to lay
so that the eggs can be kept separate
without any attention to yards. OF
course, males should be supplied only
for the breeding flock, and by keeping
these birds in the house until eight or
nine o'clock in the morning, satisfac-
tory mating will be insured. Some
mating may occur on the range be-
tween the hens in the commercial
flock and the males from the breeding
flock, but this does no special harm.
On farms where there is only one
poultry house, a partition can be put
in to keep the two fiocks separate. If
it seems undesirable to allow both
flocks to range at the same time, al
ternate the range by letting the breed
ers run at large one day, and the COM
mercial layers the next. During the
cool weather of the breeding season
this system works satisfactorily.
The number of birds to include in
the breeding flock should be deter
mined by the number of high class in
dividuals available and by the number
of eggs needed for Matching. If incu-
bators are used, enough breeders
should be kept to fill the machines
without holding any eggs longer than
ten or twelve days. Usually a pro-
duction of at least fifty per cent can
be expected during the Matching sea-
son. Forty breeders should furnish
enough eggs to fill two-hundred egg
machine within ten days. However,
only hens of high-producing ability
should be used as breeders even if it
is necessary to buy some eggs for
Matching.

Dollars and Cents

Counting it only in dollars and
cents, how much did that last cold cost
you? A man may not always stop
work when he has a cold, but perhaps
it would be better if he did. 1t takes
about seven days to get completely
rid of cold under the usual treat
ment. That time can be much short
ened by taking Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and proper care of yourself,
in fact, bottle Of this remedy in the
house is a mighty good investment
during the winter and spring months.
Obtainable everywhere. (adv.)
Missouri hogs number 4,305, 900,
decrease of 324,O00. Poor pig crop
last spring, heavy marketing during
the early months, disposal of brood
sows during summer and fall, hog
prices tumbling, and high prices of
corn, the farmer has not considered it
advisable to increase or even hold up
to his wartime number of hogs. Con-
siderable dissatisfaction is expressed
on the hog outlook for the coming
year. Losses from cholera and other
causes lowest of recent years. Av-
erage value all ages and sizes at $16.
so per head totals $71 ,032, 500,
Poultry on farms shows an increase
of about per cent over last year, and
the Missouri Farm Census made by
the assessors indicates 124 poultry to
each farm.
Generally, the health of live stock
is above the average and wintering
well. Pasturage better than last year,
but fall wheat giving very little graz
ing. Roughage will carry live stock
through unless very severe winter and
unusual conditions prevail in the
springtime. No serious shortage is
expected.
