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 S27 worth of
manure; each head of cattle $40
worth; each hog SO worth, and each
sheep IS. Going back ten years and
taking the figures of the 1910 census,
this would figure out about S2.461 ,000,-
600. Estimates by the United States
department of agriculture indicate that
probably about a fourth of this Is
wasted.
Farmers are constantly confronted
with the problem 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-
GUS aspect.
Much Could Be Saved.
OF course, all the manure cannot be
saved. Some Of 1t, at the best. must
be lost. But millions Of dollars worth
Of II could be saved with practically
no added expense, and with compare
lively little outlay Of time and ef.
fort.
The cheapest and best way to handle
manure, where convenient, is to haul
II to the field and spread It 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
fertillzing materials where they
ought to be. In this way, too. loss
through heating. or 'flre-fanging," is
avoided.
Concrete Pit 10 Ideal.
Many farmers, however, are not so
situated as to make II 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 tire average farm. In
ground that does not cave in, only an
inside form win 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 REINFORCED with woven

LOUSY HOGS CONSUME

Experiments Recently Conducted by
Bureau Of Animal Industry Prove
That Blood Sucking Parasites
Are Expensive.

prepared by the United States Depart
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. II 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 II cost ex-
sctly 81 hundred pounds OF pork
more to feed the hogs with lice than
n did 10 feed the clean animals. In
aaother. n cost $3.50 more. and In the
tsird. S2.9i more. The specialists who
conducted the experiments reached the
conclusion that the main reason why
hogs with lice consume more protein
feed IL. due to the fact that the lice
suck the flood 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 a total Of 1.167 pounds.
and IS hogs without lice weighed
1.oes pounds. At the end Of the en-
pertinent the lousy hogs weighed 2.s72
pounds. and the clean hogs weighed
also pounds. although the total feed
consumed by the clean hogs weighed
only 2os pounds more than that eaten
BY the animals with lice.

Taken from both the standpoint of
exterior convenience and comfort. this
design Is an unusually good one for

Another Good Plan.
Another good way to save manure,
especially In the case of hogs or of
beef cattle, is to have concrete-paved
feed lot, preferably under shed roof.
Where the farmer cannot afford a
paved floor cheap open feeding shed
may be made to serve the purpose
very well, If abundant bedding Is used
to absorb the valuable liquid manure.
In such feeding lot or shed the ma
nure is allowed to gather under the
feet of the animals, each days bed
ding being strewn over the we'll
tramped accumulation below. Some
farmers using this system arrange
their feed racks so that they can be
raised from time to time, making II
possible to feed till several feet of
solldly packed manure has accumu-
lated under the shed. 1t has been
shown that manure suffers little from
heating and teaching when handled In
this way.
Advantage Of Feeding Shed.
The feeding shed serves the pur.
pose Of giving the general farm, or
the beef-cattle farm, something Of
the advantage In the matter Of
manure saving held by the intensive
dairy farm. 1t has been shown by
farm management surveys that the
manure saved on the American farm
under present conditions is almost ex-
actly proportional to the number Of
animals fed under cover on the farm,
and that the manure of animals not
stabbed has very little effect on yields,
except in cases where field crops are
''hogged-off" or otherwise pastured
down or where pasture is used In a ro-
tation.

States department Of agriculture
