Have You any idea how much stable
manure probably the best fertilizer in
the worlds wasted in the United
States every Year,
Figuring on the basis Of commercial
fertilizer values, each horse or mule
produces each year $27 worth Of
manure; each head Of cattle $50
worth; each hog So worth, and each
sheep S.. Going back ten years and
taking the figures Of the 1910 census.
this would figure out about s., ,481 .0OO,-
coo. Estimates by the United States
department Of agriculture indicate that
probably about fourth Of this is
wasted.
Farmers are constantly confronted
with the pro- 'em Of maintaining soil
fertility. AT this time. following the
war period, when an unusual strain
was placed on American farms, the
problem is more acute than usual and
the waste manure assumes more seri-
ous aspect
OF course, all the manure cannot be
saved. Some Of It, at the best, must
be lost. But millions of dollars worth
Of 1t could be saved with practically
NO added expense, and with compara-
lively little outlay Of time and ef-
fort.
The cheapest and best way to handle
manure, where convenient, is to haul
1t to the field and spread 1t daily. or
at least every two or three days. In
this way, II plenty. Of bedding be
used. practically all the valuable con-
stituents of the manure are saved,
since teaching after the manure Is on
arabic land merely serves to put the
fertilizing materials where they
ought to be. In this way. too, loss
through heating, or "fre-fanging." is
avoided.
Concrete Pit 10 Ideal.
Many farmers, however. are not SO
situated as to make 1t profitable for
them to handle manure in this way.
For such farmers the concrete manure
pit offers an ideal way Of saving ma
nure. Such pit need not entail great
expense. A pit three feet deep, twelve
feet long, and six feet wide, with walls
and floors five inches thick. will serve
the needs Of the average farm. In
ground that does not cave In, only an
inside form will be needed for such a
pit, except where the concrete extends
few inches above the ground to pre-.
vent flooding by surface water. The
floor should be re-enforced with woven

Experiments Recently Conducted BY

That Dlood-Sucl<inp Parasites
Are Expensive.

prepared by the United States DEPART
II ment Of Agriculture.)
Lice on hogs are extremely expen-
sive. The fact was proved in expert
ments recently concluded by the bureau
of animal industry. 1t was shown that
lousy hogs not only consume more food
and make less meat but that they are
uneasy or restless, condition that
doubtless lessons the pork-producing
abilities of the. animals. When not eat
ing, the lice-ridden swine spent most
Of their time rubbing themselves or
running around.
Three experiments. each extending
three months or more and with from
20 to 80 hogs as subjects, were con-
Quoted. In one experiment 1t cost ex-
.aetly 81 a hundred pounds of pork
Spore to feed the hogs with lice than
| It did to feed the clean animals. In
another, 1t cost $1.50 more. and in the
third. $2.94 more. The specialists who
conducted the experiments reached the
conclusion that the main reason why
hogs with lice consume more protein
IeeO Is uuc " tie idSl that lhC ASO
suck the blood from the animals, and
the latter must use more feed to re-
place their losses.
But the lice-ridden hogs cannot
make up for the blood sucked by their
parasites. For instance, at the begin.
ming of one experiment, Is hogs with
lice weighed total of 1,167 pounds,
and Is hogs without lice weighed
1.025 pounds. At the end of the ex-
pertinent the lousy hogs weighed 2.S72
pounds, and the clean hogs weighed
$3.50 pounds, although the total feed
consumed by the clean hogs weighed
only 2O3 pounds more than that eaten
| by the animals with lice.
The department of agriculture will
be glad to supply farmers with pub
lications that tell how to free theil
hogs Of lice.

Words are not the only means of

Signs are used. and have been since

the savage races. Sounds among
animals serve the same purpose.
Even to this day we have certain

GROSS PUBLIC
DEBT REDUCED
Treasury Statements Re-
feet Gradual Contraction
Of Obligations.

The total gross debt of the United
States-which. on June 30, 1913, on
the basis of Treasury daily state
ments. amounted to nearly $685.
500. 100000 and on August 81, 1913,
to nearly S26, 500, ,0oo, ,000-had been
reduced on May 81 1920, to less
than $4,000. 100000. The noating
debt outstanding tloan and tax corr
tificates-which on June 30. 1919.
amounted to over s3,250, ,000, 900,
and on August 81. 1919. to nearly
$4,000. 900, ,o0o-had been reduced ON
May 81. 1920, to less than $2,s50.-
100000. The reduced ordinary and
public debt disbursements have
made possible very important re-
duction in the amount Of the net
balance in the general fund which
has been applied to the reduction
of debt.
During the coming fiscal year,
beginning July 1 next, the Treas
ury expects there will be a further
reduction of both gross debt and
noa.lng debt in the first two quar-
ters, and, unless additional burdens
should be imposed by future leg
islation, that there will be a very
important reduction in the last two
quarters.
The period of upward of twelve
months since the fotation of the
Victory Liberty loan has witnessed
great expansion of commercial
credits, but steady liquidation of

curlties. The Federal Reserve
banks combined loans and dis
counts secured by United States
