Loss of Manure
on Dairy Farms
Nearly One-Half of Value,
of Fertilizer Is Allowed
to Go to Waste. ;

1t has been claimed that the annuat
value of the manure from a COW ID
equal to the feeding value of the skim
milk produced by her. But judging
from the way these two products are
handled on the average farm, the skim
milk must be considered OF much
greater value, for the reason that little
Of this is allowed to go to waste, while,
according to statistics nearly one-hAlr
of the value Of the manure is lost on
the average farm, says writer In the
Indiana Farmers Guide. It Is evident
that on many farms the real value OF
manure is not fully understood, and
that there is much lack Of knowledge
concerning the best methods Of ham
ding 1t so as to get It's full value.
Liquid Is Richest
The urine, as a rule, Is much richer
in fertilizing constituents than the
dung, containing more than half the
nitrogen voided by the animal, hence,
all Of this portion Of the weddings pos
sible should be saved, and to do this 1t
is necessary In the first place to have
water-tight cutters and floors, made
with cement. The next requirement Is
a sufficient amount of clean, porous
bedding. such as will absorb practically
all Of the liquid Straw and cut corn
stalks make good bedding material and
hold a great deal Of liquid. Powdered
absorbents, such as ground phosphate
rock, has also been used as an alb
sorbent, and this material not only alb
serbs moisture, but also holds In the
ammonia being liberated from the ma
nure.
Hall of Value Lost
Where no precautions are taken
against teaching and fermentation,
more than one-half the value of the
manure may be lost. Bacterial action
also causes more or less loss. 1t has
been proved by experience that ma
nure placed in pile in the usual way
will lose nearly one-haf Of its value
when exposed to the weather for ave
or six months. Every rain washes q
certain percentage of the soluble mat
ter away. Losses from teaching may
be entirely avoided by placing the ma
nure in shallow concrete pit provided
with a roof No farmer can afford
to be without covered storage for
manure.
If the manure can be hauled out as
soon as produced and spread on tina
ground where there is no danger Of
its being washed away, this Is the most
economical way. But on many farms
the lay of the land Is such that quits
large per cent Of the manure will be
lost by washing during the winter and
| spring season.

FARM, NOTES

Moldy corn is always dangerous
feed and the flock should not have ac-
cess to it.
The droppings boards, perches and
nests should be treated for mites. The
pullets also should be examined for
lice.
The Purdue laying ration W corn
meal has given excellent general salts
faction. A good grade of -four mid
dlings will give much better results
than standard middlings.
The white of eggs is chiefly water
combined with protein. The yolk has
some protein and much fat. To supply
the protein in egg production 1t is nee
essary to feed liberal rations of pro
TEN the same as is needed In feeding
cows for milk.

WATER WORKS
BONDS SOLD
Water Bonds Aggregating
$1,000 Are Sold At Last
Tuesday Evenings
Meeting

At the meeting of the village
board last Tuesday evening the re-
mainder of the water bonds amount
ing to $1,000 were sold to Worth S.
Lee of this city at a price of $102.50.
The money realized from the sale
of these bonds will be used for the
completion of drilling at the local
well, which was started some time
ago.
Driller o'Connor states that prog
ress at the well at the present time
is little slow owing to the fact that
they have to be very careful in the
roaming operations to keep the hole
straight as well as the fact that they
are now working in the hard rock.
There now remains only about four
teen feet of the hard rock and af-
ter that is reamed out it is expected
that in a very short time they will
be able to reach the buckled pipe
and lost tool and after that real
drilling will again be resumed.

FISHING SAID TO
BE VERY POOR

Fishermen galore hied themselves
to nearby streams on the Fourth but
all returned with the same tale, to
the effect that most of the streams
are so high hat it was almost impos-
sible to get the fish to bite. 1t is
expected that real good fishing will
not be enjoyed for at least month
yet until the streams have had time
to clear up. Cloud bursts together
with the unusually heavy SHOWS of
last winter have caused this pecul-
lar condition.

CITY COUNCIL
ORDERS CLEAN UP
Village Dads Request Prop
erty Owners To Comply
With Ordinance On
Weeds on July Goth

At the regular meeting of the vii
lage Council last Tuesday evening
the city dads passed an order requir-
ing all property owners to comply
with the city ordinance relative to
the cleaning up their premises. This
rule of the council must be complied
with before July 2Oth.
The order of the board is timely
as the weeds are now starting to go
to seed and unless they are cleaned
up Immediately we will be over run
with them next season, besides the
unsightly appearance of vacant lots
and many of the streets.
Citizens generally will no doubt
very willingly comply with the
board, not only improving their own
premises but also adding to the
of the city in general.

LOCAL PEOPLE
CELEBRATE FOURTH
Grand View and Feather
vile Attract large Crowds
Over The Nations
Birthday

Mountain Home was very nearly
depopulated last Saturday. Large
crowds went to both Featherville
and to Grand View for the day,
while many fishing parties went to
nearby streams to spend the week
end.
Approximately 1900 people wit
messed the program at Featherville
where an excellent. program of street
sports, horse riding and races was
provided. In the evening the Noun
tain Home orchestra furnished ex-
cellent music for dances. Over two
hundred cars were counted at the
race track during the activities at
that place.
Grand View, while not attract
ing as large a crowd as Featherville
also put on an excellent program in
honor of the day and many local
people who made the trip there re-
port an excellent time.

ACREAGE OF GRIMM
GROWERS INCREASING

Considerable acreages of new seed
ing of Grimm Alfalfa in Elmore
County are being inspected by the
State Seed Commissioner co-operat-
ing with the County Agent. The
past success in growing Grimm AL
falfa Seed coupled with the high
prices which have been received by
the growers have stimulated more
Grimm in the sections suited to seed
production. The market for alfal-
ia seed in the middle west demands
Grimm seed on account of its hardi-
ness and superiority for the condi-
tions in that part of the country.
Since only a comparatively small
acreage of alfalfa is grown in middle
west and their large dairy herds de-
mand a constantly increasing amount
of this Queen of dairy feeds, the
prospect for Grimm Seed market ap-
pears good for several years.

big RODEO
Being PLANNED
Plans Now Being Made To
Put on the Bruneau Rodeo
in This City This Com
ing September

A. c. Maekley and Lee Tate, both
well known residents of Bruneau and
prominently identified with the Ro-
deo movement in that city last fan.
were in Mountain Home last We'd
nesday endeavoring to interest the
local post OF the American Legion in
joining forces with the Bruneau post
in the promotion of rodeo in this
fall.
If all goes well it is planned to
have the rodeo here along about the
II, is and 18th of September or
just before the Pendleton Roundup
so that the local show will be able
to get the riders who are enroute to
that place to stop off here
Excellent material in the line OF
horses, stock and riders can be Sc
cured from the Bruneau boys and
here is no doubt but that such
proposition would prove very sue
cessful here at that time.

POULTRY FARMS
TO START WORK

Through cooperation with the Ex-
tension Poultry Specialist and the
County Agent Poultry demonstra-
tion work will be started on the
beach and Woodruff farms Novem-
Der 1st These demonstration farms
are now common and successful
means of teaching better poultry
methods over the State; they em-
brace feeding for egg production,
breeding, Matching and rearing of
chicks, housing and general manage
ment. Best Of all an accurate record
is kept of all feeds used, the cost of
each item is carefully tabulated,
every sale, whether it-Be 10 fries or
a case Of eggs is carefully recorded.
In order to place the industry on
business basis an inventory Is taken
on November 1st which includes the
flock and all equipment such as
houses, coops, brooders, incubators,
etc, labor is charged against the
business each month, interest on In
vestment and depreciation is charged
each year. At the end of the year a
complete report is made OF the entire
businss showing, total production,
feed costs, labor costs, interest and
depreciation as well as the gross and
net proceeds.
This method will show very plainly
what can be done with a good laying
flock OF hens, and all who are in
are invited to follow the
Of these demonstrations.

Race Ends At 8 p. m. Sharp
Wednesday July Is; Club
Members Face Last Of
Contest

The Blind ballot box in the bis
campaign will repose the final week
in the First National Bank of Noun
tain Home and will not be opened
until the judges take charge of it on
the final night.
AT the end of the big first period
there was little difference between
any of the five active Club members.
The subscriptions and money on the
last week will not be accepted at the
Office of The Republican, but will be
deposited by the candidates in the
ballot box at the bank.
UNDERSTAND THIs-Under no
circumstances can votes or subscrip-
tions be transferred from one can
didate to another.
SIX MORE DAYS remain OF the
campaign. This may mean the win
ming Of the losing for any Club mem
ber Don't lose a moment.
REMEMBER the big subscriptions
count the most during these last few
days and especially the extension
subscriptions Any subscription paid
for one year in the first period and
now renewed for one more year will
get $4,000 votes. A two year sub
scription of the same kind extended
for one more year will get 10000
votes. A one year subscription Civ
en- in the first period and now ex-
tended to ten years will get 66s,OOO |
votes.
The more ambitious Club members
are now standing with their backs
10 the past and looking into the fu-
ture, for that which is ahead
will in all probability be the decid-
Ing factor Likewise they are max
ing every precaution for the final
lash on the closing day and hour
where the big prize awaits the win
ler.
Seven weeks of hard work and an
Siety culminate in the closing scenes
It o'clock Wednesday night, July
18th, and the most successful Club
members will claim the prizes ae-
.ording to their standing.
Success in an affair of this kind
depends largely upon keen judgment

RAILROAD PARK
Being IMPROVED
o. S. L. Has Grew of Men
Working on the Improve
ment of The Railroad
Park

Much credit is due the Oregon
Short Line Railroad and Agent Will
cox for the rapid progress that is
now being made on the improve
ment of the railroad park and in
the near future the entire plot will
be planted to lawn.
Through the efforts of the Noun
tain Home Commercial Club and the
local Park Board the attention of the
railroad company was called to the
delapidated condition of the park
and in a short time an agreement
was reached whereby the local club
was to remove the surplus trees and
then the railroad would put the plot
into shape. Altogether about sixty
trees were removed The company
then started work on the preparation
of the ground for seeding and as soon
as the repairs to the water pipes
have been completed the entire plot
will be seeded to blue grass. A seven
foot gravel walk will be placed in
the park together with permanent
seats alongside.
Now that the railroad company
has shown such a progressive spirit
in this matter it is incumbent upon
the village to see that pedestrians
are kept off the grass and that the
plot is properly taken care of.
