ABOUT GREEN MANURING
Value of Raw Manures Com
pared with Stable Manure.
Some farmers have asked us
whether rape is a good green
manuring crop. The seed of this
crop are not raised on the farm
in this country and are so expen
sive that we have not advised
the use of this plant as a green
manure. We usually think of
rape as a pig, lamb, or chicken
feed for the fall, winter and
spring and hardly think it a wise
practice to plow so good and so :
expensive a crop into the ground
for manurial purposes. Howev
er, for the information of those
farmers who desire to know its
value we append the following
table, which shows rape to rank
high as a green manuring crop.
It is about as rich in fertilizer el
ements as rye and in view of the
fact, that a great deal heavier
tonnage can be grown to the acre
its importance as a green manure
stands out very prominently.
It is very likely that many
farmers who read these articles
have hauled oak leaves and pine
straw into the barn lot during
the late fall and winter to be
used as bedding for the cattle.
Did you ever question the value
of this apparently worthless ma
terial? I have hauled so much
of it myself and was so astonish
ed when I came to know its real
value that I decided to include
the analysis of these materials in
the following table:
POUNDS PEK TON
Nitrogen Phosphate Potash
Rape (Green) 9 3 7.2
Oak Leaves 20 4 7
Pine Needles 18 4 2.6
Cow M (Fresh) 7.6 1.6 7.3
H. M. (Fresh) 8.7 1.9 7.3
Com Fer 8-2-2. 40 160 40
Aren’t you surprised to find
common oak leaves carrying as
much nitrogen as half a ton of
8-2-2 commercial fertilizer? And
to find more than twice as much
phosphoric acid and almost as
much potash in a ton of fresh
horse or cow manure? We now
see that we were adding manure
to manure when we used this
material as bedding.
Os course we all know that the
plant food elements of all those
green raw manuring crops are
not available to the crop till they
have undergone decay in the soil
but this process generally goes
on rapidly enough during the
spring and summer months and
we do not have to wait long for
returns.
Next we expect to discuss the
handling of green manures in
the production of the different
farm crops.

Penurious Policies.
Commissioner Edwards of New
York, discussing the penurious
policy of a western city, said to
a reporter:
“It reminds me of Grimes.
Gfimes, you know, was a rich
Pike county farmer. One dread
ful winter day he was discovered
on a lonely mountain path dig
ging away like mad in the frozen
showdrifts. Though it was zero
weather, Grimes was stripped to
his undershirt, and amid the
white snow clouds flying from
his shovel he could be seen all
red with effort and dripping with
perspiration.
“What in the world is he do
ing?” a traveler asked, as he:
looked with awe at the great
holes and tunnels cut by Grimes
in the snow.
‘H-sh,’ said a bystander,
‘he’s lost a nickel.’ ’’—Washing

Daughter Hadn’t Noticed.
Daughter was on the carpet
for a lecture.
“I saw you kissing that young I
man last night*” declared mother.
“He caught me under the
mistletoe, ma.”
“He did, eh? If you ever did
any housework you would know
that that mistletoe has been in
the ash barrel for a week.”

Money To Loan.
I am in position now to secure
loans on farm lands and town
property in Montgomery County.
The lender that will handle my
business is especially desireable
for parties that want big loans
on farm lands, and for those who
want to build homes in towns.
Their interest is 6 per cent.
Terms five years, the borrow pay
ing 1-10 each year thereby re
ducing the interest, and princi
pal so the final settlement will be
easy. The money for building
or improving homes in towns is
also 6 per cent, money, and the
loans are arranged so the bor
rower repays monthly for 60
months. You only have to add
a little to the amount you are
paying as rent to own you a
home in a short time. I think
this a good way for a person to
get a home.
