Another Trick with Poultry Manure 
In the last few weeks I have noticed 
several articles on storing poultry 
manure, which I find is a hard thing to 
accomplish without some loss of nitrogen. 
After letting several binsful spoil or 
waste, we have practiced the following 
for (he past seven or eight years, with 
fairly good success. During that time 
we have kept from 100 to 200 hens. The 
dt'oppings-boards are cleaned off every 
morning, and the droppings are carried 
to another building nearby and thrown 
into a large bin, keeping it spread out 
evenly over the whole bin to let it dry 
as much as possible. A box containing 
acid phosphate stands close by with 
shovel in it. and a little is thrown over 
each bucketful of manure that is put in 
the bin. In addition to the above, we 
sift the coal ashes from furnace and 
kitchen range into the dust, both in the 
henhouse, and each morning take a large 
shovelful of those dry ashes and spread 
on tbe droppings-hoard after manure has 
been cleaned off. This prevents the 
manure from freezing to the board so 
hard, and helps keep it cleaner; also 
helps absorb the moisture. We use from 
a toil to a ton and a half In this way. 
The bin is about 4x12 ft., and by Spring 
gets 4 ft. high, settles down quite solid, 
but is not caked. We generally use an 
eight-tine fork to load on wagon, and it 
crumbles up quite fine when thrown in. 
It seldom beats in the bin. If we detect 
a little ammonia escaping, which is 
quickly noticed, we spread on more phos¬ 
phate. I do not know how much we 
luse in this way. hut what we save cer¬ 
tainly makps a good showing in the field, 
especially on early tomatoes, early cab¬ 
bage and peppers. On the above men¬ 
tioned crops it is used in the furrow 
under the rows of plants. c. e. haw.

Mash for Chicks and Hens 
Would this mixture bo all right for lit¬ 
tle chicks after three days old till they 
are five months old? Fifty pounds oat¬ 
meal. 25 lbs bran, 20 lbs. cornmeal, 25 
llis. flour middlings, 20 lbs. hominy, 15 
lbs. beef. 15 lbs. fish scrap. 15 lbs. bone- 
meal, 25 lbs. Alfalfa meal.. I was told 
that it was a good mash for young chicks. 
Will you give a good mash for laying 
hens? I am using now 100 lbs. bran, 100 
lbs. hominy. 100 flour middlings. 100 lbs. 
ground oafs, 50 lbs. gluten. 100 lbs. meat 
or beef scrap, and 1 lb. of poultry tonic 
to 50 lbs. of mash. .T. If. 
Williamson, N. ,T. 
I should think that your formula for a 
chicle mash would make a good mixture, 
as all the ingredients are of value, blit il 
is an unnecessarily varied mixture, and 
T think that you would find the more sim¬ 
ple combination of two parts of bran, one 
of flour middlings, one of cornmeal oc 
hominy, one of ground oats and one of 
beef scrap, all by weight, at least equally 
good. Until tbe chirks are about six 
weeks old (lie oat hulls and the coarser 
parts of the beef scrap should be sifted 
out. Your mash for laying liens is prob¬ 
ably equal to any that can 1)C made, 
though the poultry tonic probably adds 
nothing to its value. About -°> lbs, of 
fine salt to 500 lbs. of mash mighty well 
replace tlie more expensive "tonic,” and 
it might he just as well to use 100 lbs. of 
gluten feed instead of 50 lbs. You would 
then have the mash that has been much 
used at the Storrs, Conn., laying con¬ 
tests. M. B. n.
