[Prepare# by United States department ■of agriculture,J Barnyard manure is the most Impor­ tant manorial resource of the farm and should be carefully saved and used. It not only enriches tbe Soil with nitro­ gen, phosphoric acid and potash, but it also renders the stored up materials of the soil more available, Improves the mechanical condition of the soil, makes, it warmer and enables it to retain more moisture, ’ On the basis of prices charged for commercial fertilizers, the average value of the manure annually produced "by each horse or mule Is $27, by each head of cattle $19, by each hog $12 and by each sheep $2, Probably less than half these values are'actually realized in practice. I t should be stated, how­ ever, that this method'of estimating the value of manure Is often misleading. Ex-Sheriff W .B.

Hog has. given us the cor­ rect sign, we are to have an early spring and winter is about over, tor evidently there was no opportunity for this so-called' weather iureeaster to see his shadow. Just hdw the G. Hog rule works, we are not able to advise. Not having seen his shadow in this section probably would not ap­ ply to othep sections of the country that had clear weather and sunshine on February 2, The best way to sum up the weather situation is to con­ clude that the GrdU'hd Hog has no more control over weather conditions than has mere man.

We notice by the -Cincinnati Times- Star that Dr, David McKinney was one of the delegation of ministers from that city that waited upon "Bil­ ly" Sunday in Philadelphia several days ago Jn an endeavor to get the noted evangelist to come to what he once termed the "second greatest help- hole on earth, Cincinnati.” - It Is said that when jthe delegation entered Sun­ day’s quarters he was being rubbed down after one of hia sermons. The evangelist Was so overjoyed by the impression the Cincinnati dete ntion made that he seized a bath robe, jump­ ed out of bed, ran down the hall, cry­ ing Joyfully, "Ma, oh, ma!" when he handed his wife the petitions. It is thought (that the evangelist will visit Cincinnati before the next election in an effort to reduce thp liquor vote in that city, another statewide prohibi­ tion election to he held next fall, Mrs. Laura Huston Faullin, aged .25, wife of Lester Paullin, and daugh­ ter of Mr, and Mrs. Lucius Huston, ojf near Jamestown, died- Tuesday morning after a two weeks Illness of grip and other complications; The de­ ceased tf-as married to Mr. Paullin about a yea(r ago and' beside the mis- band leaves a two weeks old daughter.

P ouhxby manuk B la t u b MOST VjamAfioE, The real value is determined by the ef­ fect of manure on crop yields and on quality of crop products; The urine is by far flip most valuable part of the excreta of animals, f t Is especially rich iu readily available ni­ trogen, which rapidly escapes into the air if special precautions hfe not taken to- prevent Its loss. It,is also rich in potash, but deficient in phosphoric acid. It should, as a rule, be used in connec­ tion wltb the BQlid dung, the one-thus supplying the deficiencies of the. other and -making a more evenly balanced manure. , ; ' Barnyard manure is a very variable substance, Its. composition and value depending mainly upon (1) age and kind of animat, (2i- quantify and qual­ ify of food.f&l proportion df litter and ; (4) method of management. Ordinary barnyard manure, properly cared for, may be assumed to contain on the av­ erage one-half of 1 per cent of nitro­ gen arid one-third of I ppt cent of phos­ phoric acid.. Mature animals, neither gaining nor losing weight; excrete practically as much fertilizing material as they con­ sume In their food. Growing animals may excrete ns little a s 50 per cent- as much as is contained in their food, milch cows from'05.to 85 per cent, fab toning or working animals from 85 to 93 per cent In the fertilizing value of equal weights of manure In its normal condition farm animals probably stand in the following order; Poultry, sheep, pigs, horses, cows. The nmounfy of fertilizing constitu­ ents in tbe manure Stand in direct rela­ tion to those in the food. Ai regards the vnlue of manure produced, the con­ centrated feeding stuffs, such as. meat scrap, cottonseed meal, linseed meal and wheat bran, stand first, tbe legu­ minous plants (clover, peas, -etcj sec­ ond, the grasses* third, cereal# (oats, corn, etc,) fourth, and root, crops, such as turnips, beets and mangel wurzela. last. Tbe nitrogen of the food exerts a greater influence on the qualify of tbe manure than any other constituent It is the most costly fertilizing constit­ uent I t undergoes more modification in the animal stomach than the mineral constituents (potash and phosphoric acid) and rapidly escapes from the manure in fermentation. The secretion of urine Increases with the increase of nitrogenous substances in the food, thus necessitating the use of larger amoupts of litter and affecting both the amount and value of the manure. Barnyard manure rtipidly Undergoes change. When practicable to remove the manure rapidly and spread It on the field at short intervals the losses of valuable constituents need not be very great, but when the manure must be stored for some time the difficulties of preservation kro greatly Increased. One of the best ways to utilize barn­ yard manure is to apply It In connec­ tion with such fertilizing materials as supplement its fertilizing constituents. These materials may be either com­ posted with the manure or used sepa­ rately, except hi case of. nitrate, such as nitrate of soda, Which should never be composted with barnyard manure an account of danger of denitrification »nd loss of nitrogen. As is well known, barnyard manure is lasting In its effects and In many eases need not be applied so frequently, as the more soluble and quick acting superphos­ phates and pettish and nitrogen salts.
