MAKING AND CARING FOR
STABLE MANURE.
(Continued from Page 40.)
stock, always having It moist enough
to prevent heating. If it must be
kept In heaps, they ahould be rather
low and flat, so as to offer as little
exposure to the air as possible, and
should be kept very moist. The use
of absorbents in the stalls to take up
the liquid manure is a necessity if its
full value Is to be obtained. Plenty
of bedding Is demanded wherever
concrete gutters and floors are not
used, and the use of “floats” or acid
phosphate in the stalls also helps to
retain the urine—the most valuable
part of the manure—and also to bal
ance up in the element in which it is
most lacking, phospheric acid.
As a general thing, the less han
dling that can be given the manure
and the quicker it can be put on the
land after it is made the better.
Aside from the use of plenty of bed
ding and Borne such absorbent as
those here recommended it seldom
pays to "compost” manures—excep
tions will be noted in the next arti
cle—and the “formulas” for mixing
manure with various chemicals, etc.,
may all bo grouped together as
frauds. All are unprofitable and
many positively injurious and the
wise farmer will not waste time, la
bor and often plant food, by repeated
and unnecessary handling of his ma

ble manures to different crcrps, the
best times and methods.
A Successful Alfalfa Farm.
Messrs. Editors: A party of four
teen formed an alfalfa club in Feb
ruary, 1907, to see If there was any
money In the culture of the plant.
In that month they paid In $350 in
all for the spring Bowing.
They rented 8# asres of land for
live years; this land had recently
been bought at $2 5 per acre and was
offered to the club at $50 per acre,
which offer was declined.
Three hundred and fifty dollars
was paid In In September, 1907, to
provide for the fall sowing. Other
w Ise the farm paid Its own expenses.
In December, 1908, after all ex
penses to date had been paid, a divi
dend of 66 per cent was declared and
paid on the stock. At the close of
1909, another dividend of 68.4 per
cent was declared and paid.
After l.'OS the field was rented at
9 <vu j»«’r .miiuiu, auujrvi iu uic
ment of the rent, and the lessee made
quite lh much as the club made.
The owner of the land now holds
the same beyond all reasonable
price.
Can anyone do better?

How to Sturt Early Melons.
A good method of starting water
melons Is to cut pieces of sod two
or three luches square. Invert them,
place a few seeds In each piece and
put in a hot bed. Another good
method is to fill a quart berry box
with good garden soil, sink Into the
soil of a hot bed and plant a few
seed In each box. Hy either of these
methods the plants may be allowed
to grow until they begin to run and
then planted out In the field without
seriously checking their growth.
With the box method, the box, soil
and all are taken up and set out in
the Held.
