M MANURES. O Wheat “ran as a Icrtllizer. The present low price of wheat bran suggests in: possible use as a fertilizer as well as an article of feed, yet we believe it would be more economical to use it iirst as a feed and carefully save the fertilizing material obtained from its feeding and apply it to the soil. Wheat bran contains «$.25 per cent. of ash. 2.67 per cent. of nitrogen, 2.59 per cent. of phosphoric acid and 1.61 of potash. By way of comparison we call attention to the fact that bone meal contains 4 05 per cent. of nitrogen, 23.25 per cent. of phosphoric acid and no potash. It will be seen that bran contains a good per cent. of all three of the clementsthat glib value to fertilizers and can reasonâ€" ably come under the head of complete fertilizers. The Breeders' Gazette com- menting upon this fact says:â€" Taklng one of the leading brands of complete fertilizers made in Ohio for con-.prirlson, it contains 23.08 per cent. of nitrogen, 12.08 per cent. of phosphoric acid. 4.53 per cent. of potash, and sells for $80 a too. It will be seen that bran contains nearly a third more nitrogen, about one-third as much potash and fails very short in phosphoric acid. As the latter clement promotes growth of stalk and blade rather than grain and as the nitrogen has the opposite efl‘ect and potash favors the action of both the other elements, whether derived from the fer- tilizer or found in the soil, we see that bran should be rated as a valuable fertil- izer for wheat or corn. Calculating the fertilizing value of the elements found in bran on the same basis as for the other fertilizers having a com- mercial value of $30 per ton it is worth per too as follows: Nitrogen, 88.81: phos- phoric acid, $635; potash, $1.61. This assumes that all the phosphoric acid in the bran is available, which is not strictly true, but near enough for comparison, since all the phosphoric acid in the coin- mcrclai fertilizer is not available. As to the amount of bran to apply to an new it is safe to apply as much as represents the elements removed. by the crop. A bushel of Ohio grown whmt with its straw should contain about three-fourths of a pound of phosphoric acid. a pound of potash and a pound and threevqucrters of nitrogen. As to manner of applying the bran it could be applied with a fertilizer drili or sown broadcast. If the season is very dry there will be little benefit. The action of the bran is not so prompt as that of acldulated goods. If one has bran that has heated in the bulk or been damaged by exposure it should be used as a fertilizer. Safety Device for Barn Grain Bins. Hundreds of horses and cattle have been ruined by getting loose from their stalls and finding the stable grain bin open. when they would proceed to eat inordinately. It is the most natural thing in the world to open the lid of the ordinary grain box, or bin, and then to leave it open. The only safety lies in some device that will not let the covers open past the perpendicular lineâ€"com- pelling one to hold it open while he dips out the grain. Such a device is shown in the sketch. Such a "step" should he nailed upon either end of the box. The same end can be secured, if the cover opens back against a wall. by nailing a piece of board to the wall, that will keep the ulnar from coming back past the perpendicular. To Get Fancy Prices for Farm Pork. Present and recent low prices for pork only suggest a dilforent method of the disposal of the product. The cost of proâ€" duction at the present' time is low, and my own experience teaches me that with this feature in their favor, farmers can arrange to make pork raising earn more to them. so far as dollars and cents is concerned, than ever before. A poor hog is expensive at any and all times to the feeder, and never will return in his car- cass the value he has cost. Keep pigs that will be ready for slaughter any time after three months of age, and that will make the choicest family pork. The pig ready for market, the question comes up how to get (he most ‘sllara out of him. This can be accomplished by dealing directly with the consumer, and in no other way can this feature be gained. Well-to-rlo families in our large villages are only too glad to secure a supply of home-fattened pork at a price well in advance of the western product. Like every other branch of farming. the highest success cannot be SJIHIK: viriiout some effort on the part of the farmer to get desirable customers. The best one- toincn desire the carcass neatly cut up ready for use. This would be a new fea- Lure with many farmers. but i: would run-an a good many extra dollars to those who wiii persevere in working up such a trade as this. This plan. to a large extent. does away with the competition with western pork. It is certain that wholesalers will not interest themselves in the disposal of the home-grown pro« duct. and rarely will the smaller market. man pay any advance, claiming that the “estern is more desirable in every respect. The advantages of pig raising to the farm are many. Much material, contain- ing much and desirable feeding valuo,can be used la the pigpcn. with marked profit, which would otherwise go to waste, and the farmer never would ap- preciate. a money benefit only for his pigs.

Wanted to Have Fun. My neighbor’s wife’s boy brother had come to the city for a visit. As it hap- pened, an unexpected affair obliged my neighbor and all his family to go out of town for a few days just after the boy had arrived. Not wishing to disappoint the boy brother, my neighbor told him to stay in the house during the absence of the family, make himself at home, see the sights of the city and have as good a time as he could. The boy brother readily consented. I’m not sure but he rejoiced at the arrangement. He had been keeping house by himself two or three days, when I met him one morning and asked:â€" “Well, are you having a good time?” “You bet." he answered. “Never had so good a time before in my life. The city is great." ' “And you're not afraid to be in the house alone nights?" I said. “Now.” he answered. “Wot'd I be afraid of?" “But, say” he added, “did you notice the illumination I had there last night?” “Yes; I thought the house was pretty well lighted,” I said. “Well, Ishould say so," exclaimed the boy, enthusiastically. “Why, I had every gas burner in the house going.” “What did you do that for?" said I. The boy grinned knowingly. “Oh. I’m having fun. That's what I came to the city for. You know that machine in the cellarâ€"gee meter, they call it. I think. Well. l've found that the more gas I bevellghted the faster that thing'll go round, an' I tell you it's great sport to watch it. Last night it went around eight times what do you think of that?" “But you know that means so much additional gas bill?" said I. “Oh, what do I care? What's the use of coming to the city if you don’t have a little fun?" When my neighbor gets his next gas bill I expect to receive a call from him in which our respective families will dis- cuss at great length and with much in- digestion the extortiona of the gas com- palmâ€"Exchange.
