CHEMICAL MASUREs.

All manures are chemical and al
operate chemically on the soil.
they vary only in the proportions
of their constituents and the forms
in which they are prepared for use
Barn yard manure is the most com,
pick in composition, containing
small quantities OF material not
found in what are called chemical
manures or commercial fertilizers.
Except to limited, extent, in the
case of some of the manures last
named, all the manures are made
up oil the refuse of the farm or of
different industries or manufactures
which until the last third of CEN
fury or so have been allowed to 90
to waste. Indeed it is not until
within a comparatively recent
period that science has found out
how to properly prepare manures
for the use of the farmer, or to put
in proper form the ingredients
which he may now find in market
and combine for himself.
1t makes little difference to the
manufacture whether he sells to the
farmer the materials by themselves
and in either case the buyer gets
about the same quantity Of purity
for it is easy to adulterate the
materials as the mixed goods.
Every farmer must decide this poirt
for himself on economical grounds,
and also determine how far Ihe will
purchase and use fertilizing
materials. A fearful waste Of
fertilizing elements is going
constantly on and in many cases the
soil is so badly exhausted of certain
ingredients as to become nearly
barren. Fertility can be restored
by returning to it the lost elements,
and in no other way. 1t may be
slowly recuperated by letting it lie
idle or by certain line of cultlva-
ton and blowing in green crops.
But both these processes are slow
and disco araging. The direct way,
of securing crops ut once, is by
applying manures. They may be
BARNARD or chemical. Experience
shows that either may be used dnd
secure paying results, and in most
cases perhaps both are better than
either alone. But it is folly to 60
on raising unpaying crops when
paying ones can be at once secured
by application Of the proper kind Of
commercial fertilizers.

There is an aspect of the labor
problem, that, in the discussions Of
the day, is generally overlooked,
and yet is one of first importance,
SO far as the public is concerned.
How shall the country supply itself
with skilled workmen in the various
mechanical arts? This question
contronts the whole community,
whether in cities, villages, or the
rural districts, and demands an
early answer. Our present corps of
master workmen, in the several
trades, are generally men beyond
middle age, and very few young
men are preparing to fill their
places. Look around us-we can
count scores of young men who are
preparing themselves to be a lawyer,
doc .ors, or merchant, but how few
apprentices will we find aspiring to
be first class mechanics. At the
present, the vacancies, as they occur
are being filled by importations
from abroad, chieAy.-Montezuma

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Fruit for children is better than
physic.
Good roads help make bigh-priced
farms.
Teach the boys and girls practical
business methods.
Set out trees enough. It is bet
ter to have one too many than one
too lew.
If your pruning is not already
done do it at once or wait until the
sap ceases to run
Make a map OF your orchard and
on it name all the varieties Of fruit
as the trees stand.
The disposition and trustworthi-
ness of horse depends good deal
on its trainer.
Ii you have good article tor
sale, advertise it, and you will be
pretty sure to find customer for it.
1t is good plan to have reel
and line handy for aid in making
all rows of fruits and vegetables
straight.
The potato that sprouts the
easiest makes the poorest seed.
Premature sprouting is due to
weakness.
The man who wastes or abandons
his time is no more to be commend
ed than the man who abaEdons his
farm.
Which is the better, to expend
your money in making good roads or
to lose it in wornout horse flesh and
wagons.
AS spring opens, see that your
drains are clear and clean, free from
all decrying and fermenting sub
stances.
There is nothing that pays better
than good roads. Every neighbor-
hood should have an ambition for
good roads.
1t is not the largest seed that is
always best, but that which is most
perfect and vigorous and has been
kept the best.
Spring is the time to prune hardy
roses. They bloom on the new
growth. Cut out all useless and
weakly old growth.
Rust and decay are the wolves
that devour exposed farm machin-
cry. 1t ought to be protected
against these depredators.
Have medicine chest in the
house if you must. Let the
drugs in it be few and simple
Then study how to avoid using
them.
The general opinion appears t.
be that 10 pounds of good clear
clover seed is enough to SOW on al
acre to secure perfect stand.
Keep your fence boards and post
under shelter until you are ready tc
use them. Then draw them out ant
use them at once.

every word they utter. They laud Reed

Mckinley tariff bin is just the thing,
that the force hill is what is wanted
and that millions ought To be tossed

And they abused us as pickpockets. And
they called us robbers and thieves. and

MONDAY MORNING.

We are panied to observe that the
Butte Inter Mountain omitted yester-
day the friendly Saturday afternoon
habit of fayoring the Monday morning
edition of TuE STANDARD. II may he
that the regular editorial page of our
evening conte mporary has not yet re.
turned. clothed and in its right mind,
from the gathering of brewer writers
mt Livingston, but even If this is true
we wonder why orders were not left for
the usual heralding of the Monday
morning STANDARD in the Inter
WoUntaiH's edition of yesterday.
We Halter ourselves that the Mon.
day edition of this newspaper merits
all the testimonials to its rare excel.
lence that have come from the press in
Main street and that, on each succeed
ing Monday morning, the issue has
been as good as, by the Inter W0nn-
tain, il has been cracked up Ia Ice. The
praises of our Butte contemporary are
always welcome; we are hoping that it
has not tired.
The failure of the Inter Mountain
to perform what appears tn us to he a
plain duty To its constituency. compels
the STANDARD To use its own columns
in announcing its Monday edition.
From the first, the STANDARD has had
the Monday morning field 10 itself.
For that matter, owing To circum-
stances over which none of ms have
control, the STANDARD is having the

WHY WE SUFFER,

The week that ended yester-
day brought its share of current
experience to the daily newspapers
which Butte is accustomed to read.
The Miner came to a pause in its ca
reer through unhappy complications
which, il is to be hoped, will soon
be put out of the way. The Hell.
ena IHdepeHdenf sold the Inter Woun-
tain to the Couch wing of Silver Bow
republicanism and mentioned a dicker
which contemplated the purchase of
the Mining Journal by the present
gifted editor of the Inter Mountain.
No Affections of this sort have fallen
to the the lot of the STANDARD during
the week just spent, yet ii had its share
of suffering in that it was savagely as
sailed in the pOnderous columns of the
Anaconda RerieT. In view of the fact
that our occasional contemporary one
block down the alley is known to have
a circulation of nearly li6 copies, the
reader may rightly conclude that the
STANDARDS cup of sorrow is just about
full.
From its lofty perch of masterful
neutrality in politics and that sort Of
thing, the Recier questions the ortho-
doxy of the STANDARD in democratic
doctrine and il wants to have the
STANDARD say something more about
the capital question. We believe that
u purse-proud contemporary in
town is triiling with the STANDARD it
surely cannot be in earnest. Either
that. or the Reriem is simply bent on
crushing the STANDARD out. What
ever our naughty rivals purpose, the
STANDARD will hopefully endeavor to
continue business at the old stand and
its litany for to-day will include
an earnest petition that the RccieT
may be g~raciously inclined to let up.

IN NEWSPAPER FIELDS.


Most of the newspapers printed in
| Montana received pleasant mention in
the racy review read by Mr.. John b.
Reed before the members of the press
association at their annual meeting
held in Livingston last week. AS an
| entertaining sketch of current condi-
tions in Montana newspaper offices,
Mr.. Reeds sketch is well worth pre-
serving and the STANDARD prints il
this morning.
In Montana the press grows and
thrives with the growth and thrift of
the new state. Among the weekly
newspapers il happens that some of the
oldest hold rank ms the best, adapting
themselves 10 new conditions and
meeting their younger rivals with a re-
solve not To be crowded out Of the field
they have held undisputed in the past.
While the journalistic year that closed
last week has witnessed its share Of
changes, il is noteworthy that the dis
position among weeklies 10 enter the
daily field is not marked while. at the
same time, il does not appear that the
weekly edition of daily newspapers is
an investment of much profit to the
publishers.
The STANDARD recalls now the
names of eleven daily newspapers
printed in Montana. That is a liberal
supply when account is taken of the
fact that the state has practically the
population of a single congressional
district. There is in the state
no city large enough TO sustain a first
rate newspaper, and those of our con
temporaries that are seeking To ap-
proach the idea of a complete daily
newspaper find themselves compelled
To cover a pretty large field. This is
expensive business, particularly in this
part of the Northwest where wages,
telegraph tolls and the cost of special
correspondence are much in excess of
what the same service costs in older
and more populous sections of the
country.
The probabilities are that in Mon
