am pleased To be able to speak favoraDiy OF
a fertilizer man ufactured bv Mr.. Reeves Gait
of this city.
After careful analysis found it to contain
about the average percentage of phosphorlc
acid and potash of the best high-grade fertilt-
zers of our market and an amount OF ammonia
considerably higher. In this fertilizer. the
price falls several dollars below its com { ercial
value. This is point greatly in its favor
This omnlercial value must be understood
to be appreciated 1t is value of so much per
pound placed upon each constituent; take ann
monia for instance: 4 committee of chemists
of the various State Agricultural Experiment
Stations, which made these valuations, has
placed value OF twenty cents per pound upnh
ammonia. Now let us take this fertilizer; 1t
contains upwards of three per cent, of ammo
mia. This would be over sixty pounds to the
ton, or value for ammonia alone of more than
twelve dollars per ton. The of the value
of the other constituents found in The same
way gives the commercial value.
This fertilizer is in an excellent condition for
drilling, owing to It's low percentage of mois-
ture. FRANK W. IRA PHAGEN Phi. d.

and rinsed most thoroughly.
This fact is generally known by
farmers and dairymen but they do not
always attach to it due Importance,
In large dairy the milking must nee
essarily be done by ''hired help" and
it is deplOrable fact that the average
hired man scarcely ever has sufficient
interest In his work to- take such cart
as is needed at milking time to keep
the milk clean. But, of course, there
are some exceptions to this rule.
Even in a small dairy, where but few
cows are kept and no help employed,
a carelessness and uncleanliness is too
often noticeable, and the good farmer
has none but himself to blame if there
is a strange OdOr about his butter as he
spreads his bread or if he finds that his
butter fails to bring the best price in
market. We were cOnversing, recent
", with an experienced dairyman on
this subject, who receives from twenty
to thirty cents more per pound for his
butter than most others get, and he
said that he never sat down to milk q
COW, nor even permitted any one else
in his employ to do so, without having
first thoroughly cleansed the cows I'D
der and teats, as well as her body and
hind legs, from every vestige of impu-
rity. We are fully aware that it is no
pleasant matter to go through such II
process of cleaning and washing OH
cold winters morning, when the Their
mOmeter registers ten degrees or more
below zero but eternal cleanliness Is
the price of pure butter and it will pay
in the end. A plentiful supply of
bedding, either of marsh grass or straw,
should be given the cows every night,
which will prevent much trouble Oh the
part of the milkman.

duty of parents to check the early
growth of false pride and vain ambi-

gance and idleness, which is IL life of
uselessness. Thoughtful persons are
much alarmed at the evil tendencies of

the generally depraved Indifferent

Mormon Wives.

A writer in the WOman's Magazine
thus speaks of the condition of the
women of Utah:
zone who had lived in the 'pure and
happy relations of celestial marriage
said upon her death bed, After the eX-
istence | have endured the tOrments of
the Internal regions would be Il well
come rest"
This writer, who evidently knows
whereof she speaketh, goes on to tell
of the second wife of "a man whose
religion had taught him that woman
was not nearly of rs much value or
Importance as a beast of the field" 1t
was his custom to while away his lei
sure horus by taking each wife in turn
and instructing her in the duties of II
good, Obedient Mormon woman, gener-
ally accompanying his lessons 10y gen
tie discipline with the poker, oX-goad
etc. This poor creature not being as
submissive as he wished, he chose
another method. "Her baby-her one
hold upon heaven-had been ailing for
months, its little life hanging almost
by a thread, and as it grew more and
more feeble, she chung to it all the
closer, afraid to let it away from her
sight, or out of her mOtherly arms,
lest some harm might befall it. Sor-
row, neglect and brutal treatment, had
made her SO suspicious, that she per
sistently refused to allow him to give
it some medicine he had prepared. To
punish her for her contumacy, he
dragged her out of the house in the
early morning, only half-clad, and
chained her to- the tree. Then laying
the child where she could see its little,
helpless, wIithing form, and hear its
plaintive moan, without being able to
touch it, he stood guard over her with
his axe, swearing to annihilate anyone
who dared to interfere with the pre-
negatives of holy Latter-day Saint.
Some compassionate neighbors went
to the bishop of the settlement and en-
treated him to use his authority, but
he said, "Let the woman obey her hus-
band, he is her Lord and Savior, when
she is sufficiently subdned, he will re-
lease her."
A Mormon woman on being asked
why they were SO Submissive replied
"They always stab the mothers through

Color in Horses.

The subject of color among horses
is an interesting study and there is
more than fancy in it. Deep bays and
browns with black points are in the
greatest demand, because the coat is
so easily kept clean, its richness pleases
the eye and they possess the cOncOmi-
tants of endurance and longevity. A
black horse is not held in such high
esteem and yet many superior animal
wears Il coat of sable hue. 1t has been
said 10y gatherers of statistics on the
subject that chestnuts have good con-
situations, but are often high temper
ed, while black or red roam wears
well and is not moved by every shadow
that crosses its path. The piebald and
soft cOlors with white markings do not
find favor for racing or general pur-
poses. 1t Is also noteworthy that few
grays or whites wear the laurel wreath
in the best company. As the trOtting
records stand to-day the queen is a
chestnut and her predecessor was a
bay. The rival stations, Maxy Cob
and Phallas, are bays, and the retiring
champion, Smuggler, is a brown. The
best yearling, two year-old and three
year-Old performances belong to young
STEERS of blood red hue. But Elvira
who lately depOsed the bay filly BOni-
tn as ruler of the four-year- old record,
is black and her successor, Sallie
Benton, is Il gray. Among the PAGERS
which have beaten 2.I3 in harness, we
find the unapprOachable Johnston is Il

& tiful brown, and so is Richbald. Sleepy
