Manure—A Gold Mine on the Varna Each terse pi:educes a27 worth of maU8'0 0 year (ye 'compared with commercial nertilizers); eah head of cattle $20 worth; men hog $8 worth. at is estimated that the total vane of mamma preclueed is ebout $200,000,000 —a veritable gold mine. At least hula of this great wealth of fertilizing inaterial is -sheer waste. In 'some good geneaal farming sec- tions not more than fifteen per cent. of the inueure produced is used. Even in the most intensive dairy regions where cows are largely stall fed and compatativety great care is taken with the manure, the lose se-enes to be approximately bwenty-five. per een t. The beet pion to prevent this waste is to haul the manure -and spread it on ehe field as fast as produced. Wben this is not practical, store the manure where it eon not leach out. To gave manure, concrete manure pits are being used niore and more. These pits have concrete floors and sides se that not any of the valuable fertilizing elements are wasted A pit 6x12 feet and three feet deep, with walls and floors five inches thick, will serve the need's of the average farm. In ground that noes not cave in,' only an inside form will begteeded in bending such -a pit, except where the concrete extends a few inches above the ground to prevent flooding by serface weter. The floor 'should be re-enforeed by woven wire fencing, put in after about two inelees of cement has been Said, the sutleh of fencing being cut long enough to bend,. up a few Indies at either, end into the side walls. When the re -enforc- ing has been put •ie, theeremaining three inches of bhe floor is laid and the forms for the side evens set •up and used immediately. 'Use one part of cement, two of vend and four of screened gravel. A pit of this kind is large enough to hold- the (accumula- tion of neanure on the average farm until 'such a time as it can be con- veniently spread on the field. • A manure pit doesn't co -et money; It saves money. . The value of the manure saved when stored in pits win equal -at least five per eentaon the pit investment, Where manure is stored in -loose'fiat piles in the barn- yard, the loss by leaching and decay in six m-ontvhs amounts to from thirty to sixty per cent. In some Rime raanere is ,simpin theowe opt through the barn windows and left to Ile egainet the Fades of the barn. 'Phe loges -in fertilizing vehre are lee:Re—meth longer if the water from the roof drips -on the maneve, Seth a pracbice is not only wasteful, it is eleo very unsanitary, If it must be folio -Wed, the glitters on the barn shouldbe 'conatructed o th'at the Wider will be carried away. A lean-to abed May be built as a cover over the pile of manure expoeed to the weather. Another good way to save manure, especially in the case of hogs or beef cattle, •is to have a concrete paved feecl lot, preferably under a shed roof. Where the owner" of the farm ean net -afford a laved flobr, a cheap open feeding •shed 'may be made to serve the purpose very well, if abundant bedding is used to ebserb the valuable liquid manure. In such a feeding lot or shed, the manure is allowed to gather under the feet of the animals, each -clay's bedding being strewn over the well -tramped manure. ' Some •fariters using this systein arrange their feed -racks so that they ,ean -be termed from time totime, making it possible to feed till solidly packed manure has accumulated to a depth of several feet under the shed. It has been 'shown that manure thus handled suffers little from heating, -and leach- ing. For saving manure the feeding shed serves the purpose of giving the gen- eral :faille -or the beef cattle farm, something of the advantage held by the intensdee dairy farm. The manure saved on the Canadian farm under present conditions is almost exaotly proporbienal to the number of 'animal's stall -fed on the farm; 'the manure of animals net stabled has very little efteet on yields, except in eases where field crops -are hogged down or other. wise pastured down, or where pasture Is ueed in a rotation.. If no shed or pit.i's avenable the best nigher' ef storing manure in the open is to pile in a compact pile With nearly perpendicular sides. The pile Amid be left flat on top so that ik ;will absorb the ram water. This not only leseens the ernount .of leaching, but helps keep the manure resist 'and thus reduces the /fermentation. This metho-d will not prevent -leaching; therefore it is , recommended only when there is no better way of stoeing the manure. •19;IPal "There are a good many fine things about a milking maehine. One of them is that your leands don% get tired milking. The lest cow milks ne easy as the first one." That is neighbor's -way of Fazing ap the milking machine. He was left alone through the shifts and turns of the times and could not get 'help to do his farm work as it ought tio be done. The milking was especially tedious. "I need to ep•end from an hour and O half to two hours eight ors the milk- ing etoll. 'By the time I got through I was tired and fir poor shape to begin the real work ^of the day. Now I am fresh and ready tmgo at -other things after breakfast. I intik my cows in ahout half (the time and they don't mind inns snitch as they used to when they were pulled and hauled around by•eareless or indifferent milkers." Ile (spoke of a number of other good features about the milking machine, but this was the windup. "You can't tell how long a man stay if you hire hits. I bad two or three men last season at different times. I thought I bad them -for, the season, but they slipped eecray from me. Contracts 'will not hold men who make up their minds to go.

Of course, I have to -de some things for theenilking machine, but ik won't go back en me if 3 use it right.° Another men told me of his ex- peeienee with e milking machine as "It used to take me just about two hours to milk eighteen cows. That meant fouNrours, counting neglit -and nkerning, sitting on -the milking geol., the -best I could de. /Last wintee was unusually cold, and I aetuany ttested my feet in the stable, working there so l'ong at a stretch with litble chance to move them around. "Being faced with another witstm, of like experienee, on account of the; lac at help, I determined to put in milking machine. The original cost; of the machine was 000, but byturma ing in a separator that we were no longer teeing, I WaS nble to get the milker by paying $200 in cash.

Scmaba intended for market should be caught before they are fed their morning 'meal, no that the crepe will be empty. The method of killing, plucking and Cooling is practically the same as employed with poultry. Never save poor, inferior squabs for breed- ing, as they will reduce the quality of the stock. Dispose of weak or inferior breeders, especially if they are males, as one always has a/ern:plus of the latter. The, most precarious period is when the birds are from four to eight weeks old. This is the time of the firer Molt. When the birds look - droopy and seem to lack in appetite, give them a physic. Put a tablespoonful of Epsom pelts, in their &tinning water.
