tains. At the cl"se of the week tie
cover in tho mountains was

shipped to the market and some were
shipped to pc tnts for winter feeding.
Cattle and sheep are reported to he
doing well in all sections of the state
and all kinds Of livestock are enter
ing the winter in excellent condition.
A thin covering of snow on the des-

was general ir the north, but little
feeding was done in the south. Win
ter grain is Improving in the few
areas where winter crops are cuiti-

PEAT HAS LOW VALUE
AS SOIL FERTILIZER
Not to Be Compared With Stable
Manure or Minerals.
Many Investigations Of Subject Have
Been Made by Department OF
Agriculture-Shows a Decid-
ed Lack of Uniformity.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Peat, in recent years widely adver-
tised as fertilizer IL not to be COM
pared with stable manure or with min
eral fertilizers as means of in
creasing crop production. This is the
essence of a statement that has just
been made by the United States De
purtment of Agriculture as result
Of many Investigations on the subject.
Special processes, such as the "bac-
terization" of peat, occasionally are
alleged to give 1t unusual .fertilizing
powers but tests have not substan-
tiated these claims. An English In
vestigator few years ago reported
good results with the use of "bacter.
ized" peat, but experience in this coun-
try has not supported his theory. No
laboratory process for the bacterial
tion" Of peat has been discovered
which materially improves 1t for fer
tilizer.
The peat or "humus" that has been
marketed in this country as fertilizer
or plant stimulant has shown a de-
cided lack of uniformity, but this is to
be expected when it is known that
peat deposits ure the slow accumula-
tion of layers of plant material Of diff
ferent kinds. The rather high per-
centage of nitrogen occasionally found
In peat and muck Is due not to the
presence of available nitrogen, but the
accumulation of nitrogenous material
that Is not available for the use Of
plants, the more soluble substances
having been lost.
Some kinds Of peat are very useful
for stable litter and for composing.
While peat is too bulky and too poor
in available plant food to serve as a
substitute for manure or mineral fer
tilizers, certain kinds of peat appear
to be suitable In the growing of spe-
cialized crops or as potting soil In
greenhouses. In the manufacture Of
mixed fertilizers the use of peat as a
conditioner, as we'll as filler, appears
to have been satisfactory to the mix
er. Several varieties of peat and muck
soil are farmed, frequently showing
high productivity for many kinds Of
truck crops or as grass land. Many
peat deposits, however, are agricul-
turally unsatisfactory and some peats
contain substances distinctly injurious
to plants.

SILAGE CART IS CONVENIENT
by Use Of Homemade Device,
Says Iowa State College.

Building Of homemade silage
cart to be used In distributing silage
In the feed lot will save considerable
time and labor.
Some men at Iowa State college
have planned cart which can be
made from an old pair of cultivator
wheels fitted on gas pipe axle on
which a heavy packing box has been
mounted. BY measuring your silage
chute the cart can be made to run
lnder the chute and filed directly
from the silo.
Grain can also be distributed by
means of the same cart and consider
able lifting of heavy materials can be
avoided In the feeding operations
through Its use.
