Farmers are often At loss 10 know
how 10 distribute the manure on field
An example may help them.
For instance, suppose field Of 81 acres,
on which 81 loads Of manure are to be
drawn. Dividing 50 BY 81 gives IS loads
per acre. BY making four heaps Of
each load and placing the heaps nine
yards apart, the manure will DO evenly
distributed. Or. If be makes nine heaps
Of each load placing them six yards
apart the result will be the same. "A
cubic foot Of half rotten manure weighs
about So pounds. coarse, dry manure
about ~ pounds. A load Of manure Il
about SO cubic feet; hence load of half
rotten manure will weigh little over 3
ton (2,016); Il coarse and dry, Il will
weigh 1.728 pounds. There are 1880
square feet Ii an acre; II you multiply
this BY the number Of pounds you want
20 spread on each square foot, and d.
vide the product BY 1,0l6, The quotient
will give the number Of loads required

WHILE, as a general thing, we are not
in favor of that form of political strategy
which seeks to entrap an adversary, Mr..
Townsend's resolution, in the House OF
Representatives yesterday, by which he
proposed to authorize the President OF
the United States to open correspond
ence with the government of China, with
a view to terminating all existing treaties,
was nevertheless a fair partizan move.
The fact is that the Republican party of
the East is in favor of the incursion into
this country of immense Chinese hordes,
and anything which serves to disclose
the real purpose of that party is permits
sible to Democratic politician. If ii
were the British, instead of the Ameri-
can government, that were handling
this question, John Bull would simply
serve China with peremptory notice
that the Brother of the Sun and Uncle
of the Moon must either keep his Coolies
at home or take the consequences -
which latter would mean the lombard
ment of Pekin and the destruction of the
Imperial palaces. Under the Democratic
party the United States would talk in
the same manly strain. What it lacked
in finicky sense of international justice
it would make up in masculinity-
which, by the way, would by no means
be a bad thing.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1882-05-02

THE last Newsletter acquitted itself
of rather curious thing in the way of
reviewing candidates for Governor. 1t
contained an article discussing the
claims of two gentlemen for the Repub-
lican nomination, the Messrs. M. D. Be-
ruck and Irving M. Scott, the first of
whom has explicitly withdrawn from the
contest, the second never having been
in the field at all. Our esteemed San
Francisco contemporary seems to have
overlooked the fact that there are not so
many competitors for the. Republican
nomination as there We're two months
ago. A political winter, so to speak, has
overtaken most of them, and they are now
alternating, in the hope that they may
be revived into political life by some
lucky thaw-such as Arthur's signing
of the amended Chinese bill, for in
stance. Mr.. Boruck was at great pains,
even prior to the veto, to announce that
he had surrendered all gubernatorial
aspirations for the present, while the
Newsletter itself says that Scott ex-
pressly disclaims being or having been q
candidate. In this view of the matter,
wherefore the article?

Let Us Have Good Roads.

Now that the Board Of Supervisors is
in session we desire, in q most particular
and impressive manner, to call the at
tention of that body to the necessity Of
seeing that proper road facilities are pro-
vided for reaching and returning from
the San Gabriel valley, both by the road
which passes by the County Farm and
Five Mile House and by the Arroyo
Seco and Pasadena. We exaggerate
nothing when we say that the roads
throughout this county are in shameful
condition. This is notably the case
with regard to all avenues of approach
to the San Gabriel valley, the beauty
spot of the county. The road-bed lead
ing out by the Five Mile House is no
road at ALL It is so narrow, and it is
beveled SO sharply, that two vehicles
can pass each other on it only at the risk
of collision or an upsetting. While
we have not examined the figures, we
have no doubt whatever but that plenty
of money has been spent on these mere
travesties of thoroughfares. The diff
Guilty has never been in the lack of
money. 1t has lain altogether in the
wasteful employment of it, or in a penny
wise and pound foolish policy. 1t is
absurd to say that the great and wealthy
county of Los Angeles can't afford to
make fair roads to region which all
visitors throng to see. We hope to live
to hail the day when we shall not only
have capital thoroughfares leading to all
quarters of the county, but when they
will be lined with trees, as well. But,
for the present, our people are willing to
compromise with fair roadbeds. Cannot
Messieurs of the Board of Supervisors
see to it that they shall have them?
