Keeping Barnyard Free
of FertiliZing Manure

One of the best dairy farmers in

years, there has never been a single
load of manure accumulate in his barn.
yard He cleans his stables each
morning and the litter carrier is
dumped directly on the sleds or wagon,
as the case may be, and hauled to the
field. This man has a sandy farm
and it is not often that he cannot drive
anywhere to spread manure. Farmers
with clay land might find it more diff
cult to follow this plan, but all must
admit that yard full of manure is
not a thing of beauty and the clean
yard of our eastern Ontario friend
looks decidedly more sanitary as an
exercising place for dairy herd. says
a writer in the Montreal Herald. The
Ohio experiment station offers an ad-
ditional argument for keeping the
barnyard clear of manure. Over a
period of 30 years. which should be
long enough to be conclusive, It has
been found that manure which was
spread on the field as produced. in
creased the average yield of corn per
acre by three-fourths bushels, of
wheat three-fourths bushels, and of
clover hay 400 pounds more than did
manure which was left in the pile in
the barnyard and spread in the spring.

Cows and Heifers Soon

protect these animals from accidents.

and grain while on pasture, he advises.
and keep these cows and heifers near
the barn and under close observation.
Any good commercials fitting ration
containing II TO 16 per cent protein
should give satisfactory results at this
time, Mr.. Perry advises. AS a good
home mixed ration. he suggests this
formula: 100 pounds each of corn
meal, ground oats. wheat bran, oil
meal and a pounds of salt. The ami
mails should also have access to water
and salt in brick form. About two
weeks before calving the grain mix
ture should be gradually changed by
eliminating the corn and oats, so that
only bran and oil meal will be fed
during the last ten days.
Heifers soon to freshen should be
brought into the barn with the milk
ing herd when the period Of liberal
grain feeding begins. They can be
fed while ir the stanchion, which gets
them accustomed to being tied In the
barn, and also enables the feeder to
keep close watch on their condition.

Plan Prevention
of Soil Erosion
Nationwide Fight Against
Evil Is Now Taking
Definite Form.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture )-wNU Service.
The United States Department of
Agricultures nationwide campaign
against soil erosion is now taking def
mite form in the practical erosion-pre-
vention work of the first regional
erosion stations which have been es-
tablished in widely separated areas
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, says
DR.. Henry G. knight, chief of the bu-
reau of chemistry and soils. Doctor
knight has just returned to Washing
ton from inspection of the bureaus
work in erosion prevention, soil sur
vey, and soil fertility In the Middle
West. Northwest, and Pacific Coast
states.
Farmers Interested.
Doctor knight visited the erosion
stations of the department at Bethany,
Mo-, and at Pullman, Wash, where the
necessary equipment has been installed
and where sheet erosion or run-off is
being measured on experimental plots.
Plans for field operations are under
way at the station recently established
in Page county, Iowa. He found that
the farmers are keenly interested in
the practical work of the stations, par
ticularly in the terracing of cultivated
fields. long a successful erosion-pre-
ventiOn measure in parts of the South,
but which is new to the western and
middle western farmers.
The need of soil erosion prevention,
says Doctor Knight, has been forcibly
brought to the attention of Utah farm
ers by recent cloudburst which cut
great canyons in the old lake shore
of Salt Lake and covered a consider
able acreage of fertile irrigated land
with debris, sand, and powders. This
erosion was result of overgrazing
of range lands. Overgrazing had re-
moved the protective cover from the
soil, he says. The destruction reused
interest in erosion prevention even liz
that dry section.
Sugar Beet Yield.
Doctor knight visited the state agri-
cultural experiment stations in Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Utah, Washington,
Montana, and in North Dakota and
South Dakota. He reports that in
creased yields of sugar beets have re-
suited from the use of phosphate fer
tiliZers in Colorado, Nebraska, and the
Dakotas. The bureau of chemistry
and soils initiated this practice a few
years ago, and sugar beet companies
now recommend the method generally.
Directors of experiment stations, says
Doctor Knight, are predicting a con-
siderable increase in the acreage of
crops next season as the result of the
influx of farm laborers who have re-
turned to the land because of the in
dustrial depression. He cited the case
of a single township of North Dakota
in which so men from one factory have
returned to farms.

If there are white butterflies hover

LEAKY SEPARATOR

Machines Stealing Butterfat
Are Improbable.

One Of the most improbable "ani-
mails" any dairyman can have is q
cream separator that is not working
properly, says III. r. Searles of st.
Paul, MINI. Some dairymen who
would not tolerate single unprOfit-
able cow have "leaky' separators that
waste the profits of the entire herd.
Just how prevalent faulty separa-
tors are is indicated by the fact that
one out of every three machines used
by new members of the Minnesota
Statewide Cow Testing association

of the skim milk samples sent in have

herds has been more than 81 month.

A separator should hold the fat loss
In skim milk down to from / to 2

why separators fail to skim efficiently
are bowls out of balance, bent disks,
worn spindle shafts or bearings, ma
chimes not fastened to floor or not

turned too slowly or too unevenly.
These and other causes may usually
be remedied without much trouble.
To guard against losses, separators
should be checked by skim milk test
every month. When cream can be
seen on the skim milk there is loss
of at least 10 hundredths of l per
cent. The separator check which is
provided members of the State Wide

real value, according to Mr.. Seares.
The association gained about 400 new

there's no denying that. Only not

anywhere without that.
"But what / want to tell you is that

RhOda had to admit to herself that
this was. intrinsically, good plausible
explanation of his search for her. She
had, as it proceeded, found herself
wondering why she wasn't believing u
word of it. She had known nothing
of the nature of her fathers actual
labors but she did remember the pas
sion that had inspired them and the
hope of sudden great fortune that had
still been burning in him the very
night he died. He'd begged the doctor
for enough of the drug to keep him
going a few hours more. Those men,
cries couldn't be reconciled with the
sort of job this man was talking
about. Why was he trying to make it
look like that? Why had he gone out
of his way to lie about it? That was
the question in her mind when he
wound up his speech, with the sugges-
ton that she pack up her trunks and
move in to this palatial apartment Of
his this very afternoon-and the word
trunk struck a spark from it.
1T may be-" Claire had said at
lunch, in discussing Forster's reason
for advertising for her, that he thinks
you've got some paper of your fathers
that he wants." Had Rhoda's father
been as near success the night he died
as he believed he was? That would
account for Forster's lying about his
job, for his belitt,ing it all he could.
There was a paper, then, and For
ster knew it and had been trying for
nobody knew how long to get it. But
Claire knew about it too, and Claire
had found her first. Claire's scheme
for getting the paper had failed, prob
ably through the treachery Of her con-
federate, Max.
But Forster hadn't got it either, or
he wouldn't be sitting there now tell
ing her how kind he meant to be to
her, urging her to go homo and pack
her trunks and come and have her
home with him.
She looked up at him now and found
him staring at her with look of con-
sternatiOn.

What are you thinking about, all Of

ANIMALS and Biennials
of Weeds Hard to Kill

An immense quantity of seed is
produced by some weeds. especially
by ANNALS and biennials, the result
ing pollution of the soil requiring
years of cleaning, even If no more
plants are allowed to go to seed.
Many species have vigorous peren-
NAL root systems (thistles, dandelions,
etc. which renew growth until repeat
ed destruction of the tops at every
fresh appearance, starves them.
Very often weeds persist for the
simple reason that farmers will keep
on re-seeding their land with crop
seeds containing weed seeds, rather
than pay little more for pure seed.
