(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) According to the United States de- ’pnnment of agriculture specialists, the !compost plle is a fertlle source of valu- able material for replenishing the plant ifood supplies of the soil. Proper utili- zation of the compost saves much fer- ‘tilizing material which ordinarily is iwasted on the average farm. The ex- ipense of making the compost heap is 'slight as compared with the fertilizing value of the resultant material. Compost Help_Eountlal., ‘The essentials of the compost heap are to equip it with a water-tight foun- ‘dation by puddling clay. This is done by spreading the clay 10 to 12 inches thick and then molstening and tram- Pling it thoroughly. A framework of logs or lumber should be bullt up around the pile and’increased in height as the compost heap 1s built higher. Building Compost Pile. A layer of leaves, straw, grass, or even weeds, about 18 inches in depth, should be placed over the clay founda- tion. Above this a layer of manure 5 or 6inches deep should be distributed, and if raw rock phosphate is available, from 50 to 80 pounds should be scat- tered broadcast over the manure. Then another layer of manure should be added and the process continued. It ig essential to keep the plle of refuse moist by sprinkling it frequently. It is also necessary to keep the compost heap well packed and tramped. Ordi- narily it takes about a year for the stable refuse in a compost heap to rot sufficiently for use, when it should be spread on the land in the late fall. Manure Thoroughly Rotted. THh® fundamental value of the com- post pile comes from the fact that the manure is thoroughly rotted and its plant food content is in excellent con- ditlon for immediate soil use when ap- plied to the flelds, while during its perfod of decomposition it is main- tained In exceilent condition to resist leaching and weathering. MONTHS OF HEAVY HARVESTS |CUTTING TREES IN WOODLOT September Is Most Prolific, High Percentages for Many Important Crops. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) There are some months in which more than one-half of the national crop is hgrvested. June barely misses being such a month for strawberries. Tn July 52, 53, and 58 per cent of the entire harvest is performed for barley, oats, and raspberries, and 72 and T4 per cent for rye and timothy hay. Au- gust is almost devoid of a harvest of more than one-half of the total, and ithe list has only timothy seed, with 4 per cent of the entire harvest, Sep- itember, on the other hand, Is most ;prolific of such harvests. The per: «centages representing sorghum for sirup, tobacco, clover seed, dry beans, and flaxseed are 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56 The high fractions are 64, 63, and 61 per cent for hops, buckwheat, and cranberries. Last of all Is October’s harvest of sugar beets, 56 per cent of the whole harvest, according to the bureau of crop estimates. PERSONAL VISIT TO MARKET Shipper Will Be More Than Repaid in Picking Up Many Important Little Details. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) A personal visit to the market which the shipper patronizes will more than repay expenses, for points which seem trivial to him are often, very im- portant to dealers, and the producer should get the proper market perspect- fve. Such a visit enables the grower ‘to get Into personal touch with the distributors, to select a reliable rep- resentative, to learn the difficulties rander which the car-lot receiver la- bors, and to appreciate the problems -with which he is constantly confront- ed. ELIMINATE ALL SCRUB SIRES Suggested That Census of All Animals Be Taken to Aid Campaign for Better Stock. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) That officals in every stock-raising county in the country should take a ;census of the sires in their respective territories, so that the elimination of scrub sires may be carried on sys- tematically, is a suggestion which has ‘been made recently on behalf of vari- ,ous live stock Interests as a result of :the agitation for better sires instituted tby the United States department of agriculture. {STOP TUBERCULOSIS IN HOGS !Prevention Lies in Pasteurization of i Milk Fed to Animals and Cook- . ing Various Feeds. !(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.)

Then again, the after effects of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if you use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from chis disease is Pneumonia, I have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given.
