The Value of Mnnnre.
Facts about stable manure, or rather
freshly stnted conclusions, form an
I important part of Bulletin 58, Maasa
' chuetts experiment station, O. Well
Vington. Of the three common condi
tions of barnyard manure, half rotted
manure is the most valnable.and well
rotted manure the least, because of
their relative amount of nitrates.
Manure should be kept packed away
from the air as tightly as possible,and
if rotted should be plowed under
nst before planting, otherwise
several months before that time. The
more litter nsed in the manure, tbe
greater liability to loss of nitrogen.
The nse of bedding material free from
decomposable organic matter is
means of protection against loss of
nitrogen. As a matter of fact many
intelligent farmers long since reached
the conclusion that manure is never
worth any more than immediately
after it is voided, and that the sooner
it can be got onto the land the better.
Of course the sooner this is done the
less the liability to loss of nitrogen
irrespective of tbe kind of bedding
used.
Treee for Small (iroumla.
For grounds of email dimensions
the dwarf classes of ornamental trees
should receive more attention, leaving
those that attain greater height to
more spat-ions grounds. If but one,
two or three specimens are to bo set,
there is no objection to such large
trees as the cut-leaf birch, purple
beech, scarlet maple, or even to the
more common sugar maple, chestnuts,
elms, etc., thongh when these trees
reach maturity there will be little
room for .plnuts or shrubs without
overcrowding or at the expense of
lawn.
One of the most desirable of low
growing trees for small grounds is the
Japan maple, Acer polymorphnm. In
reality it is but a large-growing shrub.
The foliage is feathery, with small,
deeply lobed leaves of coppery green.
The growth is graceful, compact and
dense, and the tree hardy. The
varieties of the flowering thorn (Cra
taegus) are among the best of small
trees for the lawn. They are compact,
low, and bloom abundaotly during the
summer. They are, moreover, hardy,
cleanly and do well in dry soils, where
some other classes would not suooeed.
The variety Carriereii is one of the
best of the class. The foliage, is deep,
green and glossy, the flowers large,
white aud followed in the fall by scar
let fruit that remains nearly all winter.
Paul's double soarlet thorn is an old
variety, bat one of the best for small
grotiuds, especially where bright color
is needed. The tree is of good form,
and attractive foliage and the brilliant
scarlet flowers, very often double, are
borne in great profusion. Chicago

How to Be ftnr offiontl Layer.
Much has been written regarding
88 type or the pioking out of layers
from thoir shape. We believe there
is something in it. We believe that a
bright, active hen, with a rather long
deep body, is a better layer than a
sluggish acting, compact or a ronnd
bodied one. Yet there is far more in
breeding than in selection. If we
want layers we must breed from noted
layers. "Like will beget like," and a
noted layer will be more likely to pro
duce layers than a poor layer. So the
only way to be sure to get good laye.s
is to breed them. Not only must the
ben be a good layer but the cock mnst
be from the same Btraiu. This will
necessitate in-breeding somewhat, bnt
with good judgment and unlimited
range, this will not hurt the strain un
less persisted in too long. It is best
to nse two flocks thut are not related
At tho start
There is a vast difference in the
laying of individual hens. A person
who is observing can usually tell
which are the best layers. These
should be separated and penned with
the best cock, aud all the eggs.
Mark (with a punch through the web
of tbe foot) all these ohiuks, and next
season select only the best of them
for that year's mating. Be sure that
the cock is very strong aud active, for
iu-breeding is risky business to the
beginner, and nothing but the very
best aud strongest birds should be
used. When it becomes necessary to
to introduce new blood say every
other year or once in three years
get cooks from someone who is work
ing ou tbe same lines, if possible. B.

Summer Paedlng of
Figs should run with the dam until
they are ten or twelve weeks old. Let
them eat with the dam, for by so doing
there will be no sudden change of

harmful setbaok, uuless unwholesome
food is given them. When weaued put
on a pasture. When on a good pas
ture, especially if of olorer or peas, the
task of summer feeding and cate will
;2F0RFA
be a light affair; and to the pigs it
will be an invigorating, healthgiving
feast. Every hog raiser should have
a few acres sown to grass, oats, rye,
clover, or peas, on which to turn his
pigs in the summer season. For sum
mer feeding the pea pasture is par ex
cellent. The pasture should always
be provided with plenty of clean water
and shade.
When pigs are confined their food
should be greatly varied, to avoid the
results of gorging and surfeiting them,
whence, together with the ill effects of
confinement, arise most disorders,
especially stomach troubles. As soon
as symptoms of snch disorders appear
the pigs should be turned on open
ground, and, if possible, on pasture.
The chauge will quite soon have a
good effect Bnt if turned npon a
barren lot, give them soiling fuod.and
feed some soft cotton, small, boiled,
cold potatoes and skimmed milk; iu a
word, ny wholesome swill or food.
Unless the disorder has reached a
terions stage, the pigs will soon re
cover henltu and vigor.
It is bettor not to feed pigs too ex
clusively on ungronnd grain. Far
better resnlts come from feeding mixed
rations of ground peas, barley, oats,
wheat middlings, etc. Besides, pigs
so fed, are the sooner made ready for
the pork tub. Farmers too often over
look the necessity for variety in tbe
diet of their pigs. All domestic -animals
require a great variety uf food to
supply all the wants of the system.
We have no doubt but that confinement
to one kind of food for a long time is
the frequent cause of disease iu pigs.
Green clover in summer, besides giv
ing bulk and lightness to the food,
furnishes a large quantity of mnscle
forming material and phosphate of
lime for the bonos. In winter, when
green soiling food cannot be had, the
best substitutes are beets, carrots,
turnips, etc. ; and when these are not
to be had, short cut clover, or other
hay, boiled' with meal, answers the
pnrpose, and will be eaten greedily.
(Several different kinds of grain should
be ground together to give variety.
Variation In Cow Welghta.
At the beginning of each month for
two months, the dairy herd of the
Kausas State Agricultural college has
been weighed for three consecutive
days and the weight of each animal
determined by averaging the results
of the three days' weighing. During
the first weigh period the herd did not
have access to water nntil they were
weighed, bnt during the second period
they were allowed to run to the wa
tering trough in the yards before
weighing. To oue unaccustomed to
the fluctuations in animal weights the
following results may appear aston
ishing: Cows giving milk The average
weight of thirteen head was 1,(118 aud
l.Olij pounds respectively for the first
and second weigh periods. During
the first period the mtuimura variation
of any oue individual was fonr pounds,
and the maximum variation sixty-five
pounds, with au average for the lot of
twelve pounds. During the second
period, where the herd had access to
water, the minimum variatiou was five
pounds and the maximum ninety
pounds; but during this period certain
individuals gained at the same time
that others lost, so that the average
vaiiation for the lot was only five
1 on mis, the same as the minimum
variation of nuy one individual. In
both periods the greatest variation
took place with animals that weighed
1)00 to 060 pounds.
Dry oows The average weight of
twelve head was 1,118 and 1,125
pounds respectively for the first and
second weigh periods. Duiiug the
first period tbe minimum variation of
any single individual was seven pounds
and the maximum variation thirty-two
pounds, with an average variation of
seven pounds. During the second
period tbe minimum variation was
four pounds aud the maximum forty
pounds, with an average for tbe lot of
live pounds. In the first period the
greatest variation was with a 960
pound cow, and in the second period
with a 1300 pound cow.
Young stock This lot consisted of
five head whose weights ranged from
400 to 600 pouuds. During the first
weigh period the minimum variation
was seven and the maximum thirty
nine pounds, with au average for the
lot of twenty-three pounds. During
the seoocd period the minimum varia
tion among the individuals so balanced
each other that the average variation
for the lot was only two pounds.
Calves Iu four calves weighing
from eighty-five to 105 pounds the
variatiou was from two to five pounds,
the average for tho lot for both periods
being about 2 1-2 pounds. The great
est variation, however, was the small
est calf.
Bull This pure blood Guernsey had
an average weight in the first period
of 1842 pounds, with a difference be
tween his highest aud lowest weight
of forty-two pounds. In the second
weigh period his average weight was
1355 pounds with a variatiou of nine
teen pounds.
The above notes show that a con
siderable variation may take place in
oonseoutive daily weights of the same
animal without auy apparent cause.
When a person is particular about
getting au accurate weight of an ani
mal it should be done by averaging at
least three daily weighings. D. H.
