Careless Handling
\ of Manure Costly
Best Plan Is to Apply It to
Land as Produced.

Fully so per cent Of the value Of
farm manure may be lost through
careless handling.
One way Of handling farm manure
is to apply it to the land as it is pro-
duced. This may be accomplished to
advantage by pasturing off crops. pro-
vided animals are not allowed to run
on the fields when the soil is wet.
When the manure is handled this way
the losses are perhaps not as great
as through improper storage. There
is, however, serious disadvantage to
the method in that one cannot always
apply the manure where it should go,
and, in some cases, it may be neces-
sary to store it at least part of the
year.
The liquid portion of manure con-
tains a large percentage of the total
nitrogen and potassium. When this is
not saved much of the value of the
manure is lost. Therefore, when cattle
are fed in the feed lpt and the manure
is stored in the open, the manure pile
should be on level ground to prevent
the liquid from easily draining away.
If the manure is stored in loose pile
rapid fermentation dries it out and
much Of the organic matter is lost.
Such losses, however, may be reduced
by keeping the manure firm and
moist.
Piling the manure in the field. ex.
pecting to scatter it quite while
later, is bad practice and should not
be followed. The loose open nature
of the pile encourages fermentation,
which increases the loss Of organic
matter and nitrogen.-F. b Smith,
Agronomy Department, Colorado Ag
ricultural College.

Control Hog Cholera

Cholera is very contagious disease
confined to hogs. and has a mortality
Of nearly 100 per cent The only
means Of control Is through strict
quarantine measure and the judi
cious use of anti-hog cholera serum and
virus. One should keep men. birds
and dogs away from his hogs. and be
careful about importing feed from
cholera-infested areas. If cholera is
near, vaccinate. Also keep in touch
with the state veterinarian and watch
the sanitation.

Ideal Chick Growth

Ideal growth in chick is an exceed.
ingly rapid process, which is revealed
in a comparison with an infant baby.
A well-hatched chick will weigh ap'
proximately one and a quarter ounces
at time of Matching, and in twelve
weeks will attain the weight Of two
pounds, or twenty-five times its orig
inal weight. A ten-pound baby at the
same rate of growth would weigh 250
pounds at twelve weeks, which would
be real bouncer. Discard the runts
and deformed birds.

Three Culling Factors

As rule three main factors should
be taken under consideration in Gull
ing the eve flock, viz: age, wool, and
lambs. And, without question, age is
the most important factor, and affects
very strongly the other two. Ewes are
in their prime generally from their
third to fifth and sixth years. During
this time they should produce their
best fleeces and raise their best lambs
The older sheep are more susceptible
to disease and the wool becomes OF
poorer quality.

Idea of Seriousness of
Corn-Borer Situation

Some idea Of the seriousness Of the
corn borer situation can be gained
from the report from the annual field
survey made by the corn borer labora.
tory of the bureau Of entomology at
Sandusky, Ohio, in 179 cornfields rep
resenting the older portion Of the in
tested area Of Ohio. These fields
showed an average increase Of infes-
tation slightly exceeding 400 per cent,
as compared with a similar survey in
the. same or nearby field in 1925.
Similar results are anticipated for
the annual comparative surveys in
western New York and southeastern
Michigan, when these surveys are
completed.
