THE MANURE QUESTION.

Reliable Companions Between Barn Yard
and Artificial Fertilizers.
A cart-load of hay, assuming a cart
load to be ton, would contain, on the
average, So pounds of nitrogen, Spounds
of phosphoric acid and 81 pounds of
potash. Four loads of average farm
yard manure, again assuming load to
be ton. might be expected to contain
As pounds of nitrogen. 26 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 45 pounds of pot
ash. All these figures will vary accord
ing to the high or low feeding of the
animals, the economy of straw. and the
fresh or rotten condition of the manure;
but these are fair average figures, such
as may most fairly be taken as the basis
of calculation. 1t will thus be seen
that four tons of good average farm
yard manure contain more nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash than a ton
of hay; and as the actual quantities of
valuable plant food removed in the hay
have to be discounted in order to arrive
at the proportions of them that would
have reached the land had the hay or
grass been consumed on the farm, it
will be seen that the four loads of dung
form a very ample compensation for the
hay removed. On the other hand. if
hay or grass be passed through an ami
NAL, the constituents in the eXcreta are
for the most part readily available;
while in farm-yard manure much of the
maEurial matter is shown in its action.
Fertilizing matter approximately equal
to the chief constituents in four loads of
dung of the average quality above as
sumed. could be supplied by the judi
ciOus use OF:
(d) 2 cwt. eulphate Of ammonia,
2cwt. superphosphate,
3 cwt. kainit; or Of
o. 1cwt bonedust
X cwt. sulphate of ammonia,
6wt kainit; or Of

IL cwt sulphate Of ammonia.
3cwt. kainit: or Of
f6 cwt- good Peruvian guanO.
2cwt. nsh guano q per cent. ammOniaO
lcwt. suiphate OF ammonia,
The foregoing comparison will be
rendered more practical by showing
the relative cost of the different appli-
cations. At the latest wholesale prices
in New York this would be, respective
ly, $11.47. 1910, S11.O2 and $1,000.
for formulas a, b. C and d. with cost of
freight added. This would make stable
manure worth about $3.50 per ton. as
compared with artificial fertilizers at
prevailing prices. This theoretical value
Of stable manure is somewhat higher
than would ba deduccd from the practi.
cal field tests at ROthamsted. These

more than one of the guests remarked
how fine 4 couple he and the tall and
slender Nellie Keane made. Dur
ing the next night he tried to talk several
times with Mrs. Warner about the an
nounecment of their coming marriage,
but she put him off with the merry dec

pretty woman to tie herself down day
before the necessary time.
Il think, at any rate" said Dick one
night, THAT you ought to tell Nine. Lu-
que and Nellie, they ought to know a
little sooner than any body else. Don't
you think so?"
Il don't know, Dick. Tell me, what
do You think about Nellie? lido SO want
her to have happy life, and she is such
| dear, sensitive child that can't help
worrying about her sometimes. She's
been q little distract and odd for the last
few days, and l hoped she had outgrown
all that here with us. She will make
some nice fellow dear, good wife;
won't she, Dick?'
'NOh. yes. BY the way, are you going
to the benefit tomorrow night?'
Il bought box. but l don't care
mitch for Fedora It's too heart
breaking, somehow, Dick; and we old

Dacre will play it very nicely, though.
Isn't she pretty, Dick?-her eyes just

Our chief desire is to be admitted to the
Union of States, where we properly be-
long, and for which we have every
qualification. Our constitution now
has a clause which practically fOrbids
our State officers from setting the
wheels Of government in motion. The
first subject to be considered by the
Legislature will be whether or not it
will be advisable to recommend the
members Oft constitutional conven-
ton TO remove by amendment this
clause, which alone blocks the wheels
of an independent government. Ican't
say whether we will deem it advisable
to so recommend or not. five should,
the President would have to resort to
judicial or military interference and de-
clare our State and government illegal.
OF course we would make no armed re-
sistance, but it would have the effect of
making the issue of national import
ance. Our rights and wrongs would be
discussed by every one, and it might
hasten the day of our deliverance. Our
Legislative body is composed of so
members of the House and 33 men,
hers of the Senate. 1 think nearly
every member will be in his seat when
the Legislature convenes."

A GREAT MISTAKE

has heretofore been made in the treatment
of rheumatism, neuralgia, and nervous or
sick headache. This is evidenced by the
failure on the part of thousands of sufferers
to find relief, even though they have ex-
hausted the skill of various physicians and
tried numerous so-called remedies. To
such AthIophoros is offered as q safe, sure,
and quick cure Its success has been phe-
nomenal, and yet it is not surprising be-
cause it wM do all that is claimed for it.
The Athlophoros Co. will gladly refer any
who desire to make an investigation to re-
liable parties who have been cured by it.
Geo. w. Iliff, AZ Ellen Street, Cincin-
natl, Ohio says: THE rheumatism rapidly
spread through my whole system, until
every muscle, jointand nerve was the source
Of agonizing pain. | WAS confined to my bed
for four weeks, enduring almost living
death. ] could net even bear the weight of
sheet over me. Ifanyone looked at me
or came towards me Iwould scream cut the
very thought of being touched or moved
would seem to cause more pain. | did not
know what sleep was for three weeks, my
people were treating and giving me every
known remedy, the doctor did everything
he could, but nothing did me any good.
Finally, one afternoon, my sister gave me
dose of Athlophorns and two more doses
during the evening. That night, for the
first in three weeks, l slept we'll. The next
day the swelling began to go down, for it
was infammatory rheumatism, my legs and
knees being swollen to nearly double the
natural size In aweeks time, with the aid
oftwo canes, l went out for a walk. I con-
tinued the medicine using two bottles. 1t
is over o year since, haven't had the least
symptom of q return Of the disease and
have not lost a days work.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., liz Wall St., New York, will
send either Carriage paid) on receipt Of
regular price, which is $l.o0 per bottle
for Athlophoros and Soc. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia in
digestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases
of women, constipation, headache, impure
blood, &C., Athlophoros Pills are unequaled.

The State Canals.

From time to time persistent efforts
have been made by corporations and
by individuals to secure possession OF
property belonging to the state canal
system. In many cases encroachments
have long been made upon the public
property until occupants feel that they
have acquired rights that should pre-
vail over the paramount right Of the
state. AT the present time public at
tention is directed to Akron as the
center Of disturbance in this direction.
Two railways seek to appropriate cer-
tain parts of the canal for track pur-
poses. In this they are opposed by
friends of the canal and by citizens
whose personal interests will he injured
in case the railways succeed. The
board of public works has been trans
ferred to the scene and wined and dined
to their stomachs content. 1t is an old
and very true saying that the surest
way to reach mans heart is through
his stomach. That way seems to have
been successful in this case as it is
understood the board has cOnditionally
agreed to grant the privilege of occu-
pancy of the States property by the
Valley railroad
consideration of any doubtful plan is
not new in this case;it has been tried
with success in hundreds of cases i'm the
past and will be again tried with sue
cess in the future. Notwithstanding
this, any body of men possessing the
power to act in a governmental capac-
ity, has the surest element of weakness
when it accepts of the so-called courtesy
81 .,.I =, k.so IL
individuals or corporations directly in
terested in any decision it may make.
Each member of the Board in question
receives compensation from the State
for the services he renders and when
he eats, drinks and makes merry as a
public official with persons who are in
terested in obtaining something of
value without cost, he is abusing the
trust placed in his hands by the suf-
frages of the people. A public officer
cannot possess an unobscured vision
after partaking of wine supper pro-
vided with the particular purpose of
influencing his judgment.
The questions of turning over to cor
porations or individuals any part of the
canal system of the state for private or
individual uses to the detriment of that
important and expensive water way
should not be left with the individual
members of the board ofpublic works.
It should be their province to examine
and report to the Legislature upon such
applications as may he referred to them
and there their authority. in this re-
gard should end. The granting ofprivi-
Ieges should rest alone with the Legis-
lature. Further, every squatter and in
truder upon the property of the state
without proper authority, should be
ousted from his occupancy without cere-
mony. Ifa place of business beside
the canal is of value to the occupant,
the state is entitled to compensation
therefor.
In these days of railroad and coal
pools it is especially important that the
water ways of the state be kept open
and In repair. During a considerable
part of the year they may prove a check
upon railroad extOrtion in freight
charges and so long as they remain
under state contro! they should be
properly maintained. .-Pdin Dealer.
