HINTS FOR FARMERS How to Make Corncob Charcoal. The following Is one of the best ways to provide charcoal from corncobs for the hogs: Dig a hole five feet deep, making It two feet in diameter at the bottom and five feet at the top. When you have enough cobs saved to make a burning start a wood fire In the bottom of the pit and let It become a bed of coala about three or four Inches deep. Then fill In the cobs so that the fire will keep burning, but not rapidly enough to produce a flame. The cobs should be perfectly dry when they are placed In the pit. When the pit has been filled as full as possible place a sheet Iron cover over It so that all air Is excluded. It may be necessary to throw dirt over the -edges of the cover to prevent air from being admitted. Leave the coals in this- air tight basin for twenty-four hours and they will re ready for use. In feeding It is a good plan to mix about one pound of common salt with each bushel of cob charcoal. The hogs need both charcoal and salt, and this Is the best and cheapest way to provide these essentials. Exposure Wastes Manure. In an/6xact experiment conducted at Cornell university 4,000 pounds of ordinary manure from the horse stables, worth $2.74 per ton for the plant food it contained, were exposed in a pile out of doors from April 25 to Sept 22 (less than five mouths), but at the end of that time the total weight had decreased to 1,730 pounds, and that was worth 7 only $2.34 per ton. In other words, the value of this pile of manure was reduced from $5.48 to $2.03 during the five months’ exposure. In another experiment manure exposed for six months lost 56 per cent -of its dry matter and 43 per cent of its plant food value. In this case the fresh manure was worth $2.27 a ton. white the rotted manure was worth $3.01 a ton, but the loss in total weight and in plant food was such that for each ton originally worth $2.27 there remained only SIJO worth after six months* exposure.
