APPLYING THE MANURE.
Very Xdttle of the Valuable Elements
I Escape by Evaporation, Says a .
I' Canadian Expert.
According to James McFadyean, an
ixperlment conducted at. the Ottawa ex
periment farm and covering a period of
years, indicated that an equal weight
of fresh stable manure and of well rot
ted manure were of practically the same
value for application to all the principal
crops. Practically the same results have
thus far been obtained at that station.
Mr. McFadyean says:
It is a great mistake to believe that
' manure wastes to any extent when
spread upon the land. Unless there is
considerable fermentation, there -will
; very little of the valuable elements es
cape by evaporation. I do not recom
mend too heavy an application at one
. time. We seek to have it divided so
that it will cover all the land every sec
ond year, if possible. If the manure is
reasonably short, so that we may have
it incorporated into the surface soil with
the disc or spade harrow, cultivator or
gang plow in the springand so about
the same depth as we wish to sow our
grain, its indirect value to the growing
crop is greatest Farmyard manure is

t 11 add to tbe 8011 80 much et-
ble matter, so much humus, by which all
clay and sandy soils especially are
greatly benefited, though not just yet
available as plant food. But whenever
there is a decaying of vegetable matter
there is always a degree of heat formed.
We see this very plainly in the manure
heap. - Then let us have this heat
formed in the soil, that the growing
plants may derive some benefit from it,
and the soil will be made more mellow.

HANDY HARNESS HOOKS.
Xade of Old Buggy Shafts and Quite
Strong Enough to Sustain a
Considerable Weight
Old buggy shafts can be made Into
harness hooks. Buy new shafts instead
of repairing the old ones with baling wire
For harness hooks the crossplece of
wood under the single tree that connects
the two shafts is sawed out entirely,
close up to each aide at tbe Iron brace.
Then the bolts are taken from thecroas
pleee and the loose end of the iron Is
bent straight down. When putting the
shaft on the barn wall turn It upside
down and use spikes through the two
noUs lron where the bolts were
taken out. as shown In the cut These
hooks are neat, and stout enough to
hold a heavy set of work harnesses.
We have used them for several years and
the strongest point in the economy line
is the safety in having new shafts when
driving high spirited horses these frosty
