KNOCKOUT BLOWS
FOR SCRUB SIRES.

The following summary is taken
from the report Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Animal Industry, based on the re-
ports of 525 livestock farmers living
in So states and owning $4,000 head
of livestock
Based on utility alone (entirely
apart from breeding or sales value)
purebred livestock has an earning
power from a third to one-half great
er than scrub stock The average
superiority of purebreds over scrubs
for all classe of farm animals is about
40 per cent.
Of the principal points in which
purebreds excel other stock, the most
prominent are: Superiority and uni
formity in conformation and type
greater sale value, greater and more
economical production, and earlier
maturity.
Surplus purebreds are readily sal
able at satisfactory prices in ma
jority of cases; but sales and prices
depend largely on the quality of stocl;
as shown by breeding and production
records, also on the business ability o.
the breeder.
With rare exceptions, purebred-si1e
users are satisfied with the quality OF
the offspring obtained. except that a
healthy desire is created in many
cases to further improve the quality
The progeny of purebred sires has
practically so per cent greater sale
value than the progeny of non-pure-
breds.
The average increase in financial
returns, from livestock raising, trace
able to the use Of purebred sires is 4e
per cent.
Each breeder of purebred livestock
influences, on an average, about nine
other persons to raise superior ami
mails.

CONSERVE MANURE ON
WASHINGTON FARMS.

The value of manure produced an
nually on farms in the state of Wash
ington by all animals represents S34,-
714,750.00. This figure is obtained by
placing the value of nitrogen in ma
nure at 20 cents per pound; phosphor-
us at IS cents and potassium at 8
cents.
About 80 per cent of the manure
in this state is produced under con-
ditions where the farmer is required
to handle it, writes Professor Fred
j. SEWERS in a new bulletin just is
sued by the Extension Service of the
State College on Manure on the
Washington Farm, Its Value and
Use" Under ordinary systems of
management about 50 per cent of the
fertilizing value of manure is lost A
So per cent loss on so per cent of the
product is equal to 10 per cent loss
Of the entire product
''The best method of conserving
manure is to spread it on the soil as
soon as possible after it is produced
This method will tend to overcome all
losses to the air resulting from fer
mentation and cause the plant food
by teaching, to reach the soil for
which it is intended.
This practice may be followed even
where there are several inches of
snow on the ground Under no con
dition, however, should manure be put
on heavy soils when there is so much
moisture in the soil as to cause it to
be cut up and puddle. In this case
good storage is necessary"
The bulletin takes up the proper
method Of handling farm manure on
all types of soils, both for the west
side and east side of the state, and is
free for the asking
