questions :*asked About it in British
House of Commons.
One of the strangest stories that
has been given birth by the great
war is that of the Island of Herd,
the leasing of which to a German
company was recently discussed in
the House of Commons. The lease
has been teuminatecl, and British
troops are billeted on the island,
but the question is still being ask-
ed, wily was England so lax es to
rent for 'a.'so.ug an island larger
than Heligoland, within an hour's
steaming of English shores.
Hern is -one of the lesser Channel
Islands and at one time supported
a oonsidera'ble population. It is a
beautiful spot, with .an attractive
shell beach. In 1889 ib was leased
by the Crown for $70 .a year to the
Voest Bank Liegnitz, Limited,
which in ,turn leased ib to Prince
Blucher von Wahletatt, a descend-
at1't of. th.e illustrious Blucher of
Waterloo and :himself a German.
The Prince and his family lived
quietly for years in the manor
house on the island, incurring the
great displeasure of those who
sought to ramble over the place by
,'losing all save >one harrow path-
way on the beach anti plastering
about many warnings to tresp,lss-
er5.
Children were born to the Prin-
cess there—she is of the Russian
royal family--a11v1 one of these, a
bay, became la naturalized British
subject. At no time was the Prince
suspected of using .his home in any
operations against England, but
when the .war broke out the matter
became one of natural agitation,
culminating in the Home Secretary
being asked for an explanation by
Silt 'eilil.liam Bull., -
T'lle explanation was 'blielf. The
government knew the name of the
German company ,holding the lease.
It knew, moreover, that the rent
was about five shillings and six
pence a week: that steps had been
taken to cancel this d'ooulllent; that
for some Weeks British troops had

The manure problem is a funda-
mental problem for the .farmers, of
t4,,-de,v ,and to-enolrow, One of the
most important lessons for them to
learn is liew to Obtain gond barn-
yard manure ; and then, t'(0 care for
it and use it intelligently.

are nearly as bad. In other, ,places,
notably in the west, it is burned,
and, in places Where the manure
has aueuluulated, the 'stables have
-
been moved away, instead of mak-
ing use of the manure. This means
a great annual loss, At the present
price of plant food, the amount of
manure produced in the United
States 4,1 11' year 1s worth nearly
82,800,000,000. 111 1908, the value of
the whole (4)1'11 crop in the United
States was only $;1,091,000,000.
P11030 figures show the enormous
importance of immure .production,
The greatest. sources of loss aro,
from allowing the liquid portion to
drain off, from leaching -by rain,
and from treating and fermenta-
tion.
The liquid is much more valuable
in plant food per pound t-lian the
solid. In cow manure the total
liquid portion is about the same !le
the total solid portion. *:et .many
farmers arrange their stables to -
drain off the liquid. Don't do it.
In this way from 810 to $lo worth
of fertility per cop-, can be lost an
nually.
Where possible, the manure
should be spread on the field as
made. It saves handling twice ,and
there is a greater 'tonnage then
than at any other time. This can

so billy as to cause the manure to
be parried away by rain or melting
snow. The effect of green manure'
will be seen for a longer time than
that of rotted manure on account of
the decomposition taking place -in
the soil. If this cannot be done, by
all means have a covered shed
where the manure pan be stored,
where it will he packed by stock
•tramping on it, and where it 'will
be kept tramped and moist. If it
is kept tramped and moist, and if ` the 'shed has a cement floor, there
will be very little loss.
Experiments in the west have
shown that a ver} light application
of barnyard manure in the spring
after sowing, as a top dressing on
soils having a tendency to blow,
gives excellent results, not only
preventing blowing but giving in- -
creased yields from the added plant
