HANDLING MANURE The average well-fed dairy cow' ex cretes about ten to twelve tons of ma nure a year. If half this amount is dropped in and around the barn a real problem is presented in handling the manure from a herd of ten or more cows. There are several meth ods of handling this valuable product, says W. W. Sweet of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture. The best place for manure is on the land. The ideal way to dispose of it would be to load it from the stable on a manure spreader and haul it to the fields each day. In many places this practice is followed and the rains wash the soluble fertilizing materials into the soil. Often other work on the farm prevents hauling being done at certain seasons and the manure is al lowed to accumulate around the barn. Another difficulty istthat much of the land is in crops a part of the year and the manure must accumulate un til the crops are removed. In order to make this method most convenient the barn should be so arranged that the manure spreader can be driven in and loaded in the barn. If this is im possible a litter carrier should be in stalled to take the manure to the spreader. A second method of handlinc is to have a manure shed or pit in which to keep the manure for several months at a time until it can be put on the land and plowed under. This shed should be at least fifty feet, and pre- terabiy one hundred or more feet. away from the barn. It should have a tight concrete floor and concrete walls at least four feet high. Above this should be a wooden covering. The shed should be large enough to hold the manure from the herd. The most satisfactory way to move the manure from the barn to the shed is by means of a litter carrier on an overhead track. This carrier is filled in the barn and run on the track to the shed where it is dumped. If a carrier can not be arranged for, a wheelbarrow is always a possibility. By storing the manure in a shed of this kind the losses in fertilizing value are kept as low as possible. A third method is to keen the ma nure in a shed large enough to allow cattle to tramp it. An open shed is sufficient. In this manner the manure is kept compact and if the shed has a good concrete floor the liquid manure which-is the most valuable part will not escape. In some cases manure is simply thrown out through the window and is ul lowed to lie against the i sides of the barn under the eaves where the waterfall is greatest ami where the losses in fertilizing value are large. Such a practice is not sanitary and is very wasteful. If it must be followed the gutters on the barn should be constructed so that the water will be earned away. : A lean-to may be built as a cover over the pile of manure ex posed to the weather. Cabinets ...$16.00 ...$18.00 ...$19.00 ....$6.00 ANTHRACITE COAL FOR POULTRYMEN Poultrymen who need anthracite coal for use in incubators and brood ers should make their wants known in order that some idea of the amount needed may be gained. Wallace Crossley, Federal Fuel Administrator for Missouri, states that it will be po sible to get coal, but that it will be necessary for the poultrymen so to or ganize that each person gets no more than is actually required. All who need anthracite coal for incubating and brooding purposes should send a statement of their re quirements to H. L. Kempster, Col lege of Agriculture, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. These state ments will be forwarded to the Fuel Administrator, and steps will be tak en to make the proper requisitions. DISPUTE WITH A GOAT COSTS ONE OFFICER $10 Scranton, Pa. Nov. 30 Patrolman Michcal Cassidy has been having his troubles with an unruly goat, he re ports. Cassidy walks a daily beat in the lower part of the city has for a number of years, off and on, and is so well known there, that he has won the title of "Mike, the bugomaster." When seen at the station he explained about the goat in his own graphic way of describing things. "It was this way," said Mike. "I was meanderin' along about me own business whin suddenly I seen a big' strapphin' billygoat runnin' 'ronud loose in front of the stores, sniffin' at things left outside and buttin' 'em over. Pertaties were a-rolling, pun kins wer lying in the gutter, an jest as I got to him he had his front feet in a bar'l of apples and was catin' of 'em to beat the, band. . " 'Como out o' that, ye ammadon!" I yelled at him, as I grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and give him a swift kick in the slats. The baste turned on me quicker than they can say Jack Robin and next thing I knew I was on me back in the middle of the street. When he came for me the second time I rapped him a good one between the eyes with me club. The dirty baste then up and ran, and me after him. "It sure was some chase; a regular marathon, whatever that is. Three times I caught the baste and tied him fast in the alloy, but each time I'm a Dutchman and Ihope I ain't if he didn't knaw thru the rop and es cape. Thin sir, I got a bit o wire and tied him to a clothesline post in a back ' yard, and dummed if he didn't knaw the post down, pull the clothesline from a staphle and elope with about half of Wrs. McGuire's wash. An now the woman threatens to sue me if I don't cough up the dollars, claim in' she is out of two of McGuire's shirts, two sheets, a bedspread and a lot o' socks and wimin's things." "Whath will you do about it?" ask ed a brother, officer. , "Cough up, av course. I'm too wise a bird to ever go to law for tin dol lars. And I'll tell ye another thine 'Mike, the burgomaster,' don't monk ey with any more billygoats." For Croup. "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is splendid for croup," writes Mrs. Ed ward Hassett, Frankfort. N. Y. "My children have been quickly relieved of attacks of this dreadful complaint by its use." This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic, and may be given to a child as confidently as to an adult. Obtainable everywhere.
