A recent bulletiu of the )hio station tells of experi Ilents there made'in the preservatioin of 'manure with the a(ldition of various a substanceo. Mlinre 'rom highly fed cattle that had beetn thrown into the open yard was divided in tho spring into four parcels. Oil one lot pulver ized phospltate rock or "Iloats" was dIusted as it was illed; on a second lot acid phosihate or dissolved rock wais dte15td as It was idled; on ainother lot kainiit or Cru1tde potash salt was seat tered. an'd on tie fourth gypsum or ]and 1411aster wats applied, aill these mal terills being umedi at the rate of forty pounds per ton of manure. At the anine. time Com- other lots were treaited InI the same11 wvify, the mnanure being atken f'romt box stalls, where it hand been alloved to accumulitte under the feet of animals. The different lots were applied as a ,top dressing to corn and wheat with a iiniur. spreader, putting four to eight tons pei aere. It was found that acid phosphate appoar ed0 to Ie the material producing the largest and most profitable 'results aB an addition and preservative of the manure, but it was also indicated that the pulverized floats may prove to be .an ecoiotnical material for the pur pose. 'Tho yields were uniformly larger and the increase due to the addition of preservatives smaller in case of the tall manure than in the case of the open y'ard manure, thus showing that the Imaitire in the stalls suffered less loss than that in the open yard.-Prac tical Farmer. A Bitter Dinnppoiatment. It is reported that the city boys from the east who went west to help out with the harvest work were much disappointed. Probabily they were. Their ideas Of fain life were galned from operas or novels, which are full of pi'etty n ilkmatid1(, new mown hay, golden grain, sweet breathed cattle. flowery fields and shady brooks, with dressed up young people to enjoy these tiings and work a little on the side. The sweating is always donev by some body in ithe background, who occasIon ally appears and talks a New England (ialect of seventy-five years ago. These young fellows from the east didn't real fto youth's bright dream. The rude fainers with ten cent straw hats and sweaty shirts expected them to go right out 'li the sun, without awnings or parasols over them, anId actually labor. Yes, sir, and oi maiiy of the farms thero were no automobiles to take them to ind from the filkis, no electric fans, no soda fountains, no golf links, and dinner consisted of only one course! Who can blane the earefully nurtured cross country runners, rowing chami plons, footbill players and golf ball -chasers for not wanting to work un dei such disadvantages?
