NEW FACTS; OLD MANURES.
Values of the Various Sorts of Fer
tilizer Set Forth Briefly.
Horse manure from city stables
usually contains TO to 75 per cent ot
,"wnter In the form In which such mn
nuro reaches the farmer. Tho solid
i portion of such inanuro contains ol
'nitrogen from 0.5 to 0.8 per cent, phos
iphorlc acid 0.8 to 0.5 per cent, potash
0.5 to 0.7 per cent, lime 0.5 to 0.8 per
cent, with traces of magnesia. The
drier the manure tho larger the qunn
tlty of actual plant food elements In
the ton. Computing the above named
quantities of nitrogen therein ns worth
20 cents per pound, phosphoric acid
and potash each 4 cents a pound, the
valuation of horse manure of the
above range of composition works out
from $2.04 to $4.10 per ton.
i Sheep manure from stockyards and
slaughter houses is sometimes sold In
the market either under Its own name
or as so called "natural guano." Analy
sis of three such samples sold in Con
nectlcut showed them to contain about
as much nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash as could be bought in the form
of fertilizer chemicals for $11 or $12.
The sheep manure Bold at from $25 to
$33 a ton. But, as the station report
Bays, it must also be remembered that
60 per cent of sheep manure consists
of fine vegetablo matter, which forms
humus In the soil and has distinct
value In feeding the soil bacteria and
in regulating the water content of the
soil.
A curious fertilizing material comes
in small quantities from silk mills. It
is called "cocoon dust" and consists
of the dead bodies of silkworms. The
Connecticut station found it to be ex
traordinarily rich in nitrogen, contain
ing nearly 10 per cent of this sub
etnnco; also small quantities of phos
phoric acid and potash.
Sewage waste may be profitable as
a fertilizer. The sludge which accu
mulates on the sand beds used for the
purification of sewage at Rockville
was found by the Connecticut station
to contain of water OS per cent, of
nitrogen 1.34 per cent, with traces of
phosphoric acid and potash. This ma
terial has almost three times as much
nitrogen as stable manure, but it is
probably much less available to crops
because the more soluble and valuable
part of the nitrogen has been removed
by water and microbe action. Never
theless if it can be got for the hauling
It might pay for a short haul to plow
under. American Agriculturist
DON'T CUT SOD WITH SPADE.

Janscn Sells His Interest
N. C. Jansen, who has been
manager of the Central Oregon
Well Drilling company since its
organization, has sold his inter-
Leats to E. Wagoner, his partner,
who will hereafter have the con
trol of afiairs of the drilling,com
pany. Mr. Jansen left this
morning for Portland, near which
city he expects to make his home
for the present, and was-accompanied
by his wife and little son.
Mr. Wagner now owns the ma
jority of the stock in the com
pany, and expects to continue
the business along the same pro
gressive lines that have been
followed in the enterprise during
the past two years.
CHEAP AND RANDY SOD CUTTER.
width of two and one-half inches. The
knife can be adjusted to cut the sod
at the proper thickness.
Two men and a boy, with a team,
recently cut enough sod to load a slat
wagou holding oue and one-quarter
cubic yards, rolled the sod and loaded
the wagon In a trifle more than nn
hour. The cutter is easily and cheaply
made and is a great Improvement over
tho spade.
Puckerless Persimmons.
Yes, it has been done. Do not laugh,

uproarious spectators.
Our department of agriculture has

and expressions of commenda
tion were heard on every side.
Manager A. A. Tremp, the man
with the pink shirt, lavender tie,
coral pin, white vest and brown
double breasted coat, with his
characteristic smile, said, "Our
big pageant is being opened on
time, as we promised it would,
and we have the biggest amount
of free entertainment for those
who come to Astoria before Sep
tember 9, that was ever offered
anywhere. It will be gilt-edged
amusement, and some instruc
tion mixed with it. That is all I
can say about our show now.
Look at the program. That tells
the whole story." The big
hearted, genial manager was the
center of attraction throughout
the day, for to him is due all
credit for the working out of
the entire plan of the celebra
tion.
"Astoria, the City of Lights,"
as it has been advertised, will
see that no one visits their Cen
tennial celebration who will not
leave with a satisfaction of
knowing that Astoria and the
lower Columbia river country is
the finest place on earth. Fally
ten thousand visitors were pres
ent today who are willing to
vouch for the grandeur of the
pageant as arranged. If the
first day is a criterion of the suc
of the exposition, it will go down
in history as the greatest little
exposition ever held, and worthy
of the great event it celebrates.
