VALUE OF MANURE FROM
TWENTY-FOUR STEERS
Experimental Farms Note
The ¢manure from twenty-four
ete,ers averaging in weight close
4o 1000 pounds each and running
loose en. two box stalls at the Ex-
perimental Station, Kentville, N. S.,
covering 'a period of 120 days,
or four months, weighed 112 tons,
6i0 pounds. The average for each
day was 1872 pounds or 78 pounds
per steer. Straw bedding amou-
nted to 10 pounds per steer per d
day was used and all liquids as
well as the solids were saved.
Chemists ;tell us that this fresh
manure from fairly veli -fed steers
contains in each ton 7S.1 pounds
nitrogen, 3e pounds of phosphoric
acid and 9 pounds o_ potash.tWlien
ibuying commercial fertilizer we
pay 25 cents per pound for nitrog-
en, and 7 to 8 cents for phosphor-
ic acid. Potash cannot be bought
eft any price, but in order to get
at a fair va'.uati•on for the manure
we should allow e least 5 cents
per poresd, the pric. of potash be -
rare the war.
A. ton of the above manure at
these prices would, therefore, have
es value of $2.63.
At the valuation of $2,65 per

The Tltril o f Being Wet.
There is something rudimentary and
fundamental about having water
;plashed down upon one and getting
3ompletely and deliciously wet—not
lamp, not moist, but wet, wringing
wet. You yourself when a child never
enjoyed anything so much as your first
drenching in an unforeseen and un-
>tvoidable rainstorm—the thrill of be-
ing wet, the cool drive of the water on
Four nose, into your sleeves and down
Poor neck, and the joyous shush of
soaked, waterlogged boots. Even the
tedium of being rubbed with alcohol,
