DAIRY COW IS
GREAT SOIL BUILDER
Proper Saving and Using
of Manure Determines
Value.

The value and importance OF the dali
ry COW as a soil builder can hardly be
over.estimated and the proper saving
and using Of the manure Is the princi.
pal factor which determines whether
or not the dairy farm grows richer or
poorer, says &. A. Hutton, dairy spe-
cialist, Division Of Extension. Praci-
cally all of the fertility contained in
manure dropped in the barnyard and
around creeks and other watering
places Is lost. Where manure is piled
under the, caves Of the barn or In un.
protected heaps in the barnyard. enor-
nous losses occur from fermentation,
teaching and washing away.
In order to receive the greatest val
ne from manure 1t must be protected
from rain and spreato on the soil as
quickly as possible after 1t is made.
A very shallow, covered, concrete pit,
into which the wagon or spreader can
be driven for loading Is all that is
necessary. A good manure pit can be
built for few dollars, and every
dairy farm should have one. Plenty
Of bedding should be used to absorb
all urine, and the manure from the
dairy barn should be placed In the pit
when it is not possible to haul 1t 10
the field and spread daily. IL the
cows are dehorned and plenty OF barn
room Is available they may be allow
ed to run loose in the barn or cove. ed
shed. Where at least IS square feet
IF floor space is allowed for each COW
and plenty Of bedding is used the
cows can be kept clean with less la
Dor than when kept In stalls. In this
system the manure is allowed to ac-
cumJlate in the barn until such time
as is convenient for spreading on the
land and IL is preserved with the least
possible waste, since all the urine Is
absorbed. and the tramping prevents
loss of ammonia. or nitrogen, by ex-.
clusion Of air. Where this system Is
used the Ray and coarse roughage
IRE fed in the "loose-cown barn or
covered she'd. while the silage- and
grain are fed IN separate milking
barn. This system of handling the
herd and caring for the manure is
well liked wherever II has been tried.
Dairy cows should be kept in the
barn when not In the field. Much ma
nure win thus be saved and the cows
will be protected from the cold winds
and rains. They win give more milk
for the same amount of feed consum-
ed than they viii II exposed to bad
weather Manure is one Of the most
valuable by-products OF the dairy
Herd, and too little consideration Is
given to its care and use on the aver.
ae dairy farm.
The dairy cow brings in steady,
cash income throughout the year; she
returns the greatest amount Of human
food for the same amount Of feed
consumed Of ell animals known to
man; she is safe and profitable In
vestment and a great soil builder.
Let's keep more and better dairy
cows and take better care Of the ma
nure. Make the necessary arrange
ments for caring for manure before
the winter months arrive.

DON'T BUILD POULTRY HOUSE
TOO WIDE OR TOO HIGH

Of this size about square feet of floor
space should be allotted to each bird,

COMMENT over
WEST VIRGINIA
THAT ICE CREAM TAX
(Fron the Parkersbura Sentinel


One Of the meanest taxes in ez-
lstence is the tax On ice cream. It
Is levied on The working classes and
children and much of it the govern
ment never gets. President Wilson
asked three years ago that it be re-
pealed, bu. the nuisance" still ex-
lists. Mrs. Louis Reed WelzmilleI
deputy commissioner of public mar
kets at Washington, sent a letter
to President Harding, requesting
him to use his high office to obtain
the removal of the Federal tax to
obtain the removal of the Federal
tax on ice cream, "in the name of
the children of the state and the
nation" Under the presen. Fed
.eral laws, said Mrs. Weizmiller, the
tax hes merely served the purpose
of raising the price OF ice cream
from one level Of profiteering to ali.
other. Her letter read, in part:
Since the essential ingredients
OF ice cream, sugar and milk, are
indisputably necessities Of life, re-
gardless of what form they may
take. the mothers of this state main
tain that this tax is a vicious meas
ure and against the welfare and in
terest of Americans childhood. They
further believe that the nation does
not need this revenue at the expense
of childhood
Throughout these days Of terri.
BILE heat large delegations have
formed to protest of high prices on
this great necessity. Committees
have waited on us, and all over
whelming flood of appeal has reach
ed us through the mails which can
not be ignored.
Therefore, I am begging you,
Mr.. President. to use your personal
power Of your great office, to help
these children by removing the tax
from their favorite food"
