Good Fertilizer

Peat moss has great capacity for
absorbing and retaining water, am
monia, and odors resulting from fer
mentation. In addition to it's sanitary
properties as a deodorizing absorbent,
peat moss used as litter is effective in
conserving the fertilizer constituents
of poultry manure.
In its natural condition peat has rel
atively little value as a fertilizer but
is a desirable form of organic matter
for soils. After being used as litter
in poultry houses, it supplies both or
ganic matter and plant nutrients.
According to analyses made by j.
w. Ames, chemist at the Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, the in
creased content of fertilizer constitu-
ents in dry peat moss used as litter
for poultry was appreciable and va
ried somewhat, depending upon the
number of birds and the length of time
the litter was left in the houses. The
peat moss used contained 16 pounds of
nitrogen, less than l pound of phos-
phoric acid, and pounds of potash
per ton. The average amounts of fer
tilizer constituents per ton in litter
from several sources were SO pounds
of nitrogen, 80 pounds of phosphoric
acid, and 25 pounds of soluble potash.
The litter is much more concen-
.rated carrier of plant food than is or
dillary farm manure which has an av-
erago content of about 10 pounds of
nitrogen, pounds of phospheric acid,
and 10 pounds of potash per ton. Cau-
tion should therefore be taken in US
ing it on lawns and for plants and
shrubbery as too heavy applications
may produce injury, especially in dry
weather.

Conserving The
Value of Manure

!. Enormous loss may result from the
improper care and handling of farm
manure, according to j. T. Mcclure,
statistician in the Department of
Agronomy at the Ohio Experiment
Station. Yearly production of man
ure, with bedding, amounts to approx
imately $4,000 pounds for a horse,
and 10000 pounds for COW per 1000
pounds of live weight. This mate
rial, besides containing much benefi-
cial organic matter, is rich in the
three major plant foods nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium), over half
of which may be lost if rain is per-
mitted to pass through the pile and
drain away into the open ditch along
the road. Prevention of this loss
may be accomplished by piling the
manure in compact heap where
drainage can not take place or by
spreading it directly on the land as
it is produced.
In a three-year rotation of corn,
wheat, and clover, covering 35 years,
increases of 21.7 bushels of corn, 9.4
bushels Of wheat, and DIS pounds of
clover hay per acre were obtained
from the application of eight tons of
good manure on land receiving two
tons of limestone per acre in each
rotation. Placing a value of 25 and
40 cents per bushel on corn and
wheat respectively, and $500 per ton
on clover hay, a return of S1.50 was
obtained for each ton of manure APP
piled, not considering the cost of ham
ding. The same test gave crop in
creases valued at $2.05 per ton of
manure after paying the cost of an
additional treatment of $50 pounds
of 20 per cent superphosphate. If
the value of the additional crop in
crease, there was net return of
S4.60 per acre for the three-year ro-
tation.
Lower returns. of S1.39 and $1.50
were obtained per ton of manure
alone and manure plus phosphate, re-
spectively, when applied to corn on
limited land in four-year rotation
of corn, oats, wheat and clover. This
reduction may be accounted for by
the inclusion of oats in the rotation,
a crop low in value and not very re-
sponsiye to phosphate fertilizers.

Oats, Rightly Used,
Suitable for Pigs

Because of their hulls, oats are too
bulky to be suitable for feeding as the
only grain to pigs. Some oats, how
ever, can often be included in the ra-
ton to advantage. When oats are
self-fed separately, pigs frequently
fail to take more than a negligible
quantity of them. When the price Of
corn is low, it does not pay to shell or
grind it for pigs; this makes it advis-
able to mix the oats with the supple
mental feed.
Ncottonseed, soybean or linseed oilmeal
II, and minerals may be used. 1t is
satisfactory either for self or hand
feeding. When only the mixture is
self-fed, the pigs should be given a
full feed of corn twice daily. In self
feeding, if the pigs are inclined to
take too little or too much Of the pro-
tein concentrate, the amount can be
/ increased by lowering the proportion
i VI OShl5 III lliC lAlhluIG.
/ When the mixture is handled, pigs
under 70, between rs and 125, and
over 125 pounds in weight need ap-
proximately OTIS, 10, and LIS pounds
respectively, daily a head. In addi-
ton to this mixture and corn, pigs not
on pasture need about 0.2 pound of al
falfa or other leguminous hay daily {
head. Whole hay may be kept before
them in a rack, or, if they refuse te
eat it in this way, the hay may be
chopped or ground and included in tho
| mixture
Tests, conducted under the direction
jof W. L. Robson, of the Department
of Animal Industry at the Ohio Agri
Icultural Experiment Station, hav.
shown ground oats to be worth abou
a fourth more than whole oats fo
growing and fattening pigs. Hence
when oats are low in price, it may no
pay to grind them for pigs, provide,
a method OF getting the pigs to eat /.
reasonable quantity of the whole oat
can be worked out.
/ When fed in winter ration as thu
only grain, ground oats were worth
about 80 per cent as much a pound as
corn. When fed in amounts not ex.
eeeding ! pound for every pounds
| of corn, the oats were worth almost as
much as an equal weight of corn.

STREET PRIDE

Let every citizen in London
look out for their own street.
The old saying has it that Il
everyone sweeps before his own
door the world will be clean.
Our citizens, instead of finding
fault because some street or
locality in some other part of
the city is not we'll kept up,
should get busy on their own
places.
When they remove every
scrap of disorder about such
places, when they repair their
buildings, when they spend the
growing season sultivating
beautiful plants and shrubs,
then they create a kind of
standard that others will fol-
low. IL you just improve one
place on street, the neighbors
are disposed to initiate the ex-
cellent example.
