    SAVING BARNYARD MANURE.
How One Farmer Saved His Fertilizer
for the Felds.
When we moved on our farm we
found a small barn on the place, lo
cated away out. in the middle of the
f°ld, some fifteen rods from the house, 110
llO fence to keep the cattle from
straying all over the meadow when
they were brought in from the pas
ture.
The manure made through the win
ter season wa stlirown out of the
stable windows and left against the
side of the barn till the time came to
draw it out in the spring of the year.
There the snows and the rains fell on
It. There the sun beat down upon it
and the frosts did their part toward
stealing away the goodness of the fer
tilizer made from day today. Away
from those heaps of manure ran a lit
tle stream of rich liquid manure. In
the spring thi*, grass along the course
of that little river was beautifully
green. There was so much to be cred
ited to the plan of storing the manure
In that way, but no such streak fol
lowed the path of the invisible streams
of goodness that took their way toward
'he clouds. All one could see of that
■was the cloud that rose of a sunshiny
morning from the piles by the side of
■the barn, telling surely of the fertility
that was wasting its substance on tlie
air.
Although we went to the farm from
a life in the city we knew enough to
he pure that that was no way to store
barnyard manure. We needed every
bit we could make on the farm. All
that went to fertilize the sky would do
us no good.
So we made up our minds to change
the program so that this loss might be
stopped, continues this correspondent
of Farmers' Review. And one day that
barn found itself traveling across the
fields to a site nearer to the house, it
was set upon a basement and made
about twice as large as it had been
before. The stables were below the
ground floor, and faced away from the
ehed in the rear, so that we could
throw the manure out under the shed
back of the stock. There it was kept
nice and dry through the winter
months.
The horse stables were convenient
to the cow stables, so that we could
vise the strawy part of the horse ma
nure for taking up the liquid manure
in the gutters behind the cows. This
we believe to be a good plan. Horse
manure if stored by itself will just
about all burn up with fire fang and
be wasted. Mixed with cow manure
the heating is greatly, if not entira'y,
lessened and so the value df the whole
Increased.
By using plenty of straw for bed
ding the cows we also added to the
amount of home-made fertilizer pro
duced on the farm. This aided much
toward keeping the cows dry and
clean while shut up in the barn
through the winter season. Many
farmers are not as careful about this
as they might be. Their cows are left
to lie on the bare, cold floor. They
show it, too, in the filth-laden sides of
their bodies.
Some have called me a crank on
this subject of barnyard manure. That
is all right. If I can save what natural
ly belongs to the farm and give it
back to the farm, it seems to me that
I am in that way making my farm so
much the better. The fact is we might
do much toward putting a stop to the
cry of exhausted farming lands if we
would take more pains to save the fer
tility that naturally belongs to the
farm. By keeping more cows and feed
ing out all the stuff produced we can
bring our farms back to their native
state of fertility. It is worth doing,
too.
TRANSPLANTING BASKET.
It Will Prove a Great Convenience to
the Gardener.
This simple and easily handled
transplanting basket is a great con-
— venience in trans-
planting young
<otrees, .-shrubs, or
namental growths
an(l lowering
vegetable plants.

vanized wire, and
\vy Wpr W as "' s construct
(p'fjt ' n lwo halves
. exactly alike is
easily put to-
gether and taken
apart as convenient.
It is claimed, says Popular Me
chanics, that plants grow as well in it
as when turned out of it, and that
its use as a hanging basket is most
convenient. The illustration shows a
musk melon plant in a four-inch
basket ready for transplanting.
FARM NOTES.
Scrub stock in the orchard, as any
where else, will not yield pood.
No building should be used for dairy
cows which is not lighted, venti
lated and drained.
The manure and skim milk are a
large part of the profits in dairying.
The cream brings money now, but ma
nure and skim milk bring money just
as surely after a while,
Alfalfa in any form is eaten greed
ily by most farm animals. Its growth
Is of imm nse value to the land.

says Mrs. Hinson. "My eyesight was

Early Morning Poems.
"Why, Hiram," began Mrs. Dusen
bery, glancing up from her favorite
newspaper at her husband on the op
posite side of the table, "did you ever
hear of such a thing? Here is a piece
about a man who writes four magazine
poems every morning before breakfast.
Must be quite a strain on him to do
all that writing on an empty stomach.
Don't you think so, Hiram?"
"Well, I dunno about that," re
sponded Hiram dryly, "1 reckon a man
wouldn't have such a terrible strain
on him writin' the sort of magazine
pomes we run across now'days with 1
his stomach an' head both empty!"
Poor Pat.
The surgeon of a large hospital was i
paying a visit to the patients when he !

man who was not bearing his pain
very bravely, for he was groaning
loudly.
"Oh, come, my poor fellow," remon- !
■trated the surgeon, "try and bear
your pain like a man. It's ne use
kicking against Fate."
"Shure, you're roight, sorr," groaned
the Irishman, who had beet severely
kicked by a mule, " 'specially whin
they're the fate of a mule!" —Ex- j

"The young man is smitten with you, j
Jeanetle. He says you radiate happi

"Gracious!"
"And he also said you radiate

<=RIZE FOOD
Palatable, Economical, Nourishing.
A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food.l a few words, and that
from personal experience. She writes:
"After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough in its
favor. We have used this food almost
continually for seven years.
"We sometimes tried other adver
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal
atable, economical and nourishing
of all.
"When I quit tea and coffee and be
gan to use Postum and Grape-Nuts I
was a nervous wreck. I was so ir
ritable I could not sleep nights, had
no interest in life.
"After using Grape-Nuts a short time
I began to improve and all these ail
merits have disappeared and now I am
a well woman. My two children have
been almost raised on Grape-Nuts,
which they eat three times a day.
"They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, a most
economical food for us."
