The richer the feed the better
the manure. This is an old saying,
and generally true. ri scarcest
clements, however, i'm manure, are
the phosphate of lime and nitrogen.
Phosphate is largely found in the
coarse parts of grain, that have
little feeding value. But II is not
possible for Al farmer to fatten stock
without making fmuch valuable
manure.

Cleanliness, we are told by the good
book, is next to godliness. To carry
this injur elton out, we must cleanse
not only our heart and soul of all i'm
purities. but we must keep our clothing
clean, our face and hands clean, our
bodies clean. and our speech free and
clean from all offensive remarks. As
the face is oftenest seen in public places,
aud more remarks are made about il
than any part of the human frame, IL
is very essential that It should be kept
clean and in a presentable appearance.
