So It Is most Important to conserve the urine, for nitrogen Is the mot expensive element of manure or fertilizer. The other two important plant foods are potash and phosphorus. Even ffiough manure Is highly regarded by all good farmers, nevertheless there Is probably no product of equal value which Is so miserably neglected and regarding which auch real Ignorance prevails. The first great source of loss Is through -the incomplete absorption of the urine, and It Is oot Jnfrequenttosee no attempt being made to save this portion of the manure In spite of the fact that It is richer In both nitrogen and potash than Is the dung, and In spite of the fact that these fertilizers are more available for the plant in the urine than in the dung. " The second greatest source of waste of manure Is the loss Incurred by leaching. - If a good-size- d manure pile Is stacked up against the side of the stable where the water from the eaves can drip on it. or If it Is piled on a alope or other exposed place, every heavy rain- washes away crisp bank note in the form of nitrogen and potash. These leached chemicals are the most valuable portions of the pile, the most available for plant forcing. - The third common source of lose Is Out Incurred by heating and fermenting. When manure Is put In piles tt soon heats and throws off more or teas gas and vapor. The fermentation which produces these gases is caused by the action of bacteria, or minute organisms. The bacteria Which produce - the most rapid fermentation In manure, ia order to work their best, need plenty of air, or, more strictly, oxygen. Therefore, fermentation will be most rapid la loosely piled manure, neat and some moisture are necessary for fermentation, but. if tha manure Is wet and heavy, fermentation to checked because the temperature to lowered and much of the oxygen excluded from the pile. The strong J odoC of ammonia, streomwon around a stable, is a simple evidence of the fermentation and the lose of nitrogen which to going on.

March 4, 1917, will fall upon a Sunday, and It Is contrary to all precedent although not In opposition to any law to hold an Inauguration on Sunday. Therefore the Incoming chief executive will take the oath of office and commence his term ahortly after noon on March 8. President Wilsons term commenced at noon On March 4, 1913; therefore, according to the Constitution, which defines the term of a president as four years, his tenure of office wilt be over at noon on March 4, and, even if he Is elected to succeed himself, he cannot taka the oath of Office until noon on the following day. Vice President Marshall, of course, to under the same disability at the president Therefore the secretary of state, Mr. Lansing, will be president of the United States for the 24 hours and some minutes elapsing between noon on 8unday, March 4, and the time that the new president takes the oath of office on the following day.
