By Blasting Lowers INDIGESTION Producing Costs There is little question but that stable manure on the dairy farms of Wisconsin is, and will continue to be, the chief source of plant food in the fertility maintenance of cultivated land," says O. J. Chapman, University of Wisconsin. Any farmer who will deliberately allow his manure to waste away and lose its valuable constituents by leaching and runoff, and on the other hand, buy large amounts of commercial fertilizers is in my opinion headed for the poorhouse.

BEGIN FIGHT ON CHICK ENEMIES Attempt Being Made to Save Fluffy Youngsters. A war against the enemies of baby chicks, in an effort to save the lives of many of the fluffy youngsters who fall by the wayside between the in cubator and the laying house, is being Newaged by poultry men in the chief vada producing areas. with the NeThrough service, extension vada' agricultural ProL V. E. Scott, poultry' specialist, has announced, producers in several counties are inaugurating a grow healthy chicks project which, it is hoped, will result in more eggs for Nevada breakfasts and:i more Sunday chicken dinners. With clean chicks, clean . brooders, clean yards, clean feed and clean management as their slogans and objectives, the chicken raisers have primed their guns for the fowl enemies. Nevada poultry men. Professor Scott states, are going to begin the fight - with clean chicks, which they will purchase from hatcheries having a clean hill of health and producing youngsters free from disease and capable of high production. Brooders, into which the delicate prospective dinners will he kept, will receive the appellation of spotless when tiie chicken raisers are through with them, for they will be scraped nf crust, scrubbed with a hot lye solution and disinfected.

The use of cap crimpers is the blasters best form of life insurance and aid in preventing accidents. Most accidents in blasting operations are due to investigating why charges have failed to. go off. It is best not to investigate a delayed charge until a day later.

Always face the charge so that pieces of stone or wood may be dodged if necessary, and never smoke while handling dynamite, he advises. Fuse caps should be kept out of reach of children. Bursting Boulders. In bursting boulders, lie suggests that the mud capping method he used. This consists in placing sticks of dynamite on the stone and putting about six inches of wet. sticky mud over them. Stump blasting is usually done by placing the charge directly under the stump, or, where there is a taproot, in boring a hole for the charge in the center of the root. However, if the wood is hard, the charge may be placed close to one side of the root The charge may be tapped with safety after a few inches of earth have been placed next to the dynamite and mud placed in the hole. When the chicks step forth from the brooders to get the air and sun shine, it will not be on ordinary ground, but on new sweet earth or spring. that on which a crop has grown, he Harvest of the rhubarb crop should says. be completed in from six to eight Feed, too, will be clean, according weeks time.
