veins of Manure

In the two previous articles deal- mg with this subject we discussed me actual nutrient value of man- u,, gong with the storing and handling. If manure is not properly handled, that is stored and spread ma the rate of application con- sidered, heavy losses can e ex- p8l'iEIlC9d-

yn making manure more valuable (ma must consider certain factors. Most soils are rather low in phos- phorous because (1). They were initially low in this element. (2). The subsequent sale of phosphor- mp, rich grain, milk and animals ma ifil. Manure is deficient in this nnrrlenl. ft. is desirable therefore. that manure be reinforced properly mrh phosphoric acid. This can be Rpmmpiished by adding from forty to liliv pounds of super-phosphate in each ton of manure thereby ghsnglllg it from an analysis of alp- proximntely "lo-5-l0" to balance v-mun-10" fertilizer.

Whore manure is made or plied m the open it is recommended that about forty to fifty pounds of super-phosphate be spread on the mp of each ton of manure on the spreader and scattered with the manure. Where it La kept under rnvrr (as in a shed or a manure pm or hauled to the field daily. llmvever. it is preferable that the rule and method of eupe-r-phoa- plum application be as recom- mended in order to trap the nitro- gm as well as to balance mi the phosphorous deflcienty.

ilwirr some conditions nitrogen in well as phosphate is needed for rrfnfomrmenl of fsrrn manure. especially with strsnvy manure. Nitrogen fertilizers may be either added in the manure in the spread- rr nr hppliPd directly to the field. Under most conditions the latter procedure which usually involves the addition of a nitrogen fertilizer at seeding time is preferable and recessary anyway, become not .nnour.rh nitrogen is provided by the rnnnme even if it is reinforced.

When and Where to Apply Manure

Earh farm is different thus mak- ing it impossible to give blanket reccmnmendations as to when and uhere to apply manure. one rule is universally true however, it is honor to get thc manure out onto the land then to allow it to lie around. The following general guides in the use of manure are

noteworthy: (1). Row Crops. Row crops such as corn, potatoes. gard- en oro etc., which are heavy users of lant nutrient and water. profit greatly from generous men- urlng. For best results it is recom- mended (I) that the manure be applied well in advance of planting the row crops up to nine months is preferable, although in practical operations it may be necusary that this be delayed to four months or lus and (2), Th-t the manure be plowed under and didked in as soon as practical after amending. If a rod crop proceeds the row crop so much the better, for the sod crop affords an ideal place upon which to spread manure prior to turning it under. 2. New gram and-or iegume seedlnge. A top dressing of manure is one of the best means of assuring success in new seedinszs of grasses and-or legumes. Accord- ing to the time and method of seeding such a top dressing may be applied (1) on winter grain before or after seeding the grass and-or legume. (2) on a prepared seed bed immediately after seeding the grass or legume. (3). following the harvmt of a nurse drop.

The manure provides misting of the surface, provides for better coverage of the seed. and holds moisture at the surface where it is needed bv the young plants, 3 Light Soils. Manure should be an- piied on Lighter and poorer soils first. Dark soils usually contain more humus and need manure less then farmed out land. 4. Erodin: Soils. Manure slows down the run off of surface water and decreases soil erosion. Bare knolls and slopes can be built up with manure and brought back into production. 5. Ploweri Land. Sometimes manure is spread on plowed land especially in summer. When such a prnctlce is followed it is desirable to follow the spreader with a dis" and mix the manure with the soil. 0, Per- manent and Rotation Pastures. Both row crops and new gra&es and-or legumes seedintzs should have higher prioritv on the manure eupplv than established permanent of rotation pastures. when it is not practical to spread manure on other field: because of growina crops or wet weather. However, it can be

out on pastures and with profit. It should not he spread on pastures if diseases. parasites. or noxious

We And our 2 Neighbours

POSSESSIONS

For the moment. burrowing in- ta the huge maroon-colored leath- er chair in front of the-fire in Mr. King's library. we were A traitor to all modern dwelling pieces. This high-ceilinged old room, with its massive drapes and upholstery, its shining eurfacea of walnut and mahogany and leather, its marble hearth and crystal lighting fixtures, and hand- some volumes, did give a sense of being part of the past, be- ing rooted.

When we expressed this to Mr. King, we were surprised at his answer. though we had known that even in his seventies he was not an Old Timer. glorifying the past di.-paragement of the present.

"Yes," he said," that is the trouble. One gets too rooted, too attached to the solid belongings handed down by past generations. What are they after all. but things. Possessions." A smile lighted his fine old face. "You can't take them with you. I hoperto dispose of this home of my people, and distribute its contents, before I die. I'd like to travel light for the rest of the Journey.”

"Something you wrote last week,' he continued," about the small child who cannot understand our idea of property, brought back an old regret."

, . . .

He walked over and pulled a volume, bound in morcco, from s glass-doored bookcase, and placed it in our hands. It was a copy of "Paradise Lost" and we saw that the fly-icaf with an inscript- ion had been Jaggedly tom across and mended. The exquisite en- graving on the frontisplece, de- pictlng the expiusion of Adam and Eve from Paradise, had been scrib- bled over with a. bright red cray- on.

"That was my son Arthur's idea of improving the book, at the age of four." smiled Mr. King. "Or perhaps he was frightened by the serpent lurking in the corner. 0: maybe he was imitating my hab- it of making notations in mar- gins. I didn't wait to find out. I gave him his first spankng, and I am afraid it was a hard one!

He seemed lost in thought. Then, "possessions," he said shaking his head sadly, "I told my son while 1 spanked that I was teaching him not to touch and spoil what did not belong to him. But of course I was just mad clean through because a precious pomession of mine had been marred. The only thing I can say in my defense is that I valued the book for senti- mental reasons too. It was A gift fmm my grandfather. But I was not behaving any better than in child whose pet toy is broken by a playmate."

. . .

"You are too hard on yoursalff we said. The chances are that your son forgot all about it in a few days. One hasty punish- ment, or a dozen, needn't make parents feel guilty. They are only human and make mistakes. The damage. is done when there is a day by day unioving disregard of the child's own feelings and stages of growth. We never met your son, but your daughter thinks you are And were the kindest end most understanding of fathers". "Thank you, "that's good to hear", said Mr. King." And it does seem to me that Arthur and I have always been good friends. But what would you make of this? As the children grew older, 1 en- couraged them to read the books in this library. Before they could understand the claxzics-and most of these books are classics, I would have them sit on the arm of this chair or near-by, while I read to them and showed them the ill- ustrations. But Arthur was seldom around at such times, and it seemed to me, kept away from the library."

"Could be that he Just wasn't I bookish child." we laughed. "He's an engineer, isn't he tionslly unitive child of course might have avoided the library for 3. long time after the incident, and in the meantime formed other interests. Who can tell the weight of each experience in the numberieu factors that influence humkn behavior?"

"However, I toolp no ohsnces with my grandson." smiled Mr King. "One day when Larry was ebout five, I found him banging with his hammer at my favorite wrist-watch. The crystal was al- ready shatterod. and he was fast going further! ll-la. I said to my- self, keep cool, it's Just a. watch versus your lovable little grand- son' I gently took the watch from him and said," It won't keep time now. "It's pretty well smashed I guess I'll have to use yours (I hsd given him a. toy one for Christmu) ,until mine is repaired. And if the little tyke didn't run off and bring me fuel The next day we both went to the repair man and he was Allowed to "help". Mr. Goody, a moat cooperative men, put the damaged wrist watch in shape. Further, Mr. Goody- preaented him with a cheap poc- ket watch, of the kind seldom seen now. This, I told him, he could take sport. amuh, end use as he liked. Whst times he had with that old wstchi"

Now nine months old are Ohio's Siamese twins, Donnie and Ronnie Gayion. The babies are Joined to- gether at the ubdomen.

Their combined weight is H U2 pounds.

Que-bec college, founded in 1635. gave instruction in four languages -French, Latin, Huron and Mont- agnais. Nine and 9. half hours daily were devoted to classroom instruction. Wednesday was the weekly holiday. Teachers in French Canada were debarred from teach- ing pupila other than those of their own sex.

Learning was then restricted to reading, writing, arithmetic and religious instruction. Grammar, history or geography was taboo.

The first teacher in our country was a. Parisian lawyer who under- took the education of the Micmac Indians in i606-'1 while forming a part of De Monts' colonists. t-hen locatcd st Port Royal. now called Annapolis Royal, Nova Sco- tia.

African slaves were allowed to Cansdlans by royal mandate in 1689. But there were Indian slaves before this date. These slaves came from Detroit. where they were purchased like cattle at. a. low price.

Nobody knows how the Indians came by so many tongues. But we do know that each tribe had its own language, and that when the pale feces first met them, each Indian tribe spoke a. little different from all the others, which is the chief reason why the sign language came into such prominence. The Indians had no written constitution, no king, no governor. The tribal head was a chief chosen for his wisdom and fair dealing in all matters con- cerning the tribe over which he ruled. But he could not hand over his office to his sons any mprel than he could give them his wie- dom and experience.

The people were in no wise ob- ligated to obey him. Still, in time, a chief became the one person in each tribe who made final decis- ions in times of peace. when war came, the responsibility for wag- ing it. and iookng after the peo- pic was in the hands of the fighting men themselves. From this group was chosen a. war chief who was looked upon as the leader of the tribe only during the war.

. . .

Every Indian camp had its police to see that teepes were pitched right, to enforce cleanliness about the camp site, to keep people in their proper sphere, Indeed; the Indian police did Just about the the same kinds of work that our police do.

They also had game wardens who saw to it that no unnecessary slzughter took place among the wild life of the country.

And believe it or not, there exist- ed among these savages 1. social order that stood for fair play, generosity and brotherly love (in so far as each tribe was concern- ed) that is still lacking in many of
