BARNARD Manure.

served barn-yard manure, consists in nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
worth in the open market the very mod
crate sum OF $245. cannot be blamed il
he neglects his manure pile and resolves
to rely upon more concentrated sources
for these three plant-foOd elements. But
when this same farmer learns, to his
great surprise, that the $2.4 worth OF
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
represents only a part, not the whole,
and but small part OF the value of
barn-yard manure as tertilizing mate
rial for his SOIL he commences to cherish
very different feeling towards this cor
ner stone OF all profitable farming. There
have been too many statements written,
and too many addresses delivered, that
have had a tendency to wean our far
mers from high appreciation OF barn
yard manure, and induce them to become
more or less ardent admirers of the ad-
vantages of commercial fertilizers, to
their own great, and, in many cases, ire
parable loss When farmer endowed
with good common sense, but lacking the
advantages of a college education, reads
the eulogies bestowed upon these agri-
cultural nostrums by persons who have
enjoyed superior educational advantages,
and learns that they are using them to
great present advantage, and rather dis
carding the laborious saving of the bulky
barn-yard manure, he cannot be blamed
when lie follows suit and attempts to
gather riches by carrying the complete
manure for an acre in his vest pocket.
The fact of it is, that this manure ques-
ton is an intricate one, requiring much
study, observation and elaboration be-
fore we can venture upon any really re-
liable advice. While we all know that
the term manure is applied to all such
substances as render the soil more fertile,
we may perhaps not stop to consider
that this can be accomplished either by
the manure supplying q direct nutriment
to the plant, or by its acting as q
chemical agent Oh the inert matters of
the soil, thereby Transforming them into
available plant-food elements. The barn
yard manure, containing, as it does, a
large amount of organic matter causes
an activity in the underground labOra-
tory Of our fields, which is OF incalculable
value to us. Large quantities OF carbOnic
acid are produced, and as this is one OF
the most powerful solvents, the result is
that a quantity Of available plant food
is produced in the soil from rocks and
other sources otherwise inaccessible to the
plant The decay Of this organic matter
incites notification, which supplies the
ground with much more nitrogen, derived
from the atmosphere, than the manure
origin ally contained. The manure also
exerts marked physical influence upon
the soil, inasmuch as it furnishes an ac-
tive humus, which helps to retain mOis-
ture, makes the ground more mellow,
and improves every physical feature oft.
The commercial fertilizers, on the other
hand, contain certain chemical COM
pounds, already prepared and easily sol
uble in the first rain, thus acting solely
as direct nutriment for the plants. IN
stead of helping to create an active hui

Then again we know that, while nitro
gen, phospboric acid and potash are the
three most prominent of our plant-food
elements, there are others that need Oc-
casiOnal experimentation, as forinstance
silica, soda, lime, magnesia, sulphuric
acid, etc. These are all contained in the
barn-yard manure, and generally present
in very favorable forms.
Mineral plant-food ingredients are USE
full and beneficial; in fact they have be-
come a necessity of modern profitable
farming-never, however, as a substitute
for barn-yard manure, but always as q
means to obtain an increased amount of
the same in the shortest possible time.
When we devote proper attention to our
barn-yard manure, and otherwise provide
fora never failing supply of active humus
in our soil, we need not pay high prices
to fertilizer manufacturers for their COM
pounds, but simply purchase these min
eral plant-food elements in their crude
state, and allow mother earth so to ma
nipulate them as to convert them into
appetizing and palatable dishes for our
crops, which will eagerly satisfy their
cravings and show their appreciation OF
such treatment by a generous increase.

How to Kill Your Town.

Buy of peddlers as often and as much
as possible.
Denounce yourmerchants because they
make a profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of q man who
has done much to build up the town.
Make your town out very bad place
and stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for the
betterment or the material interest of the
people.
Tell your merchants that you can buy
goodsa good deal cheaper in some other
town and charge them with eXtOrtion.
Ii stranger comes to your town tell
him everything is overdone, and predict
a general crash in the town in the near
future.
Keep up divided public sentiment with
you on the best method of increasing
business.
When you have anything to say of
your town say it in such q way that it
will leave the impression that you have
no faith in it,
Patronize outside newspapers to the
exclusion of your own, and then denounce
yours for not being as large and cheap as
the big city papers.
If you are q merchant don't advertise
in home papers, but buy q rubber stamp
and useit. 1t may save you a few dimes
and make your letter heads and wrap
paper look as though you were doing
business in q One-hOrse town.
If you are q farmer, curse the place
where you trade as the meanest on earth.
Talk this to your neighbors and tell
them the business men are robbers and
thieves. 1t will make your property
much less valuable, but then you don't
care.-Marietta Journal.

A young girl recently committed
suicide at Pittsburg, Pa, because
a fortune-teller had told her that
she would die Angus 18th in the
same dress she was to be married
in. This made her dispondent. It
should be made a crime for these
alleged fortune-tellers to ply their
vocations. The telling OF fortunes
Is but a species OF obtaining money
under f..lse pretenses. Their pre-
dictions have, in most cases,
brought nothing but misery and

A big irrigation scheme with a
capital OF a million or -wo Of dol
lars is announced in the Washing
ton dispatches. This scheme is
to operate in wests IN lands and
waters. Although the location is
not defnately stated there is a
suspicion that Nevada is the state
to be benefited by this investment
Of capital. Senator Stewart is
said to be one of the promoters OF
the scheme and Stewart will look
out for Nevada. 1t is also prob
able that F. G. Newlands is in the
scheme. Both gentlemen are
workers and there is but little
doubt but something will grow
out of their persistent efforts in
the matter Of irrigation for Ne
vada. or course the Truckee

IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

Anyone who visits Southern
CaincInIa will find spitality on
the rampage, so to speak.
The main idea OF the Southern
Californian is to stuff the visitor
with food and flood his stomach
with wine. At the same time he
must be crammed with fruit, and
while one IS ramsing about that
country the length of his waietband
elongates at the rate of about an
inch a week. This is not exactly
a fast growth, but it is steady and
certain.
One meets great many Nevad-
ans in that section. They need
the live sagebrusher down there
to counteract the easy semi-trop-
ical atmosphere. The Nevada
man down there is doing well, but
in the midst of orange groves and
plenty they do occasionally sigh
for the freedom of the sagebrush.
The writer met an old sage
brusher in Santa Ana and asked
him how he liked the country.
