tigations on the loss in stable manuIes

In summing up the results OF this ex-
pertinent Director Roberts says: -'It
seems safe to say that under the or
binary conditions of piling and eN-
posture the loss of fertilizing materials
during the course of the summer is not
likely to be much below 50 per cent of
the original value of the manure"

sheep at IL cents. and that from a

Director Roberts is careful to ex-
plain that these values will have to be
modified to suit individual circum-
stances. What he means is that il
farmers can afford to buy commercial
fertilizers at current prices. then the

ing crowd of guerriflas dashed to the as
SAINT, knowing well that they had
nearly three men to every one of the
hated Yanks. It was a motley troop,
composed of irregulars, with some fifty
soldiers who had escaped from Morgan's
command, when they had been routed
after his raid in Northern Kentucky,
and who now had joined their fortunes
with these reckless Free-Lances.
A shower of bullets from the barri-
cade of the fence checked their first at
tack. They had never met the men of
the Fighting Fourth before, and hardly
anticipated so warm a welcome. So,
recovering from their surprise, they
formed in better order, and once more
essayed to scale the slight obstruction
which this time yielded to their fury,
and the Union men, with little loss,
were driven within the building. Here
Franks sharpshooters did noble work,
picking off the leaders of their assail-
ants with deadening accuracy of aim.
'Keep cool, men, and don't waste
your lead" the young Major cried.
''Let every bullet have its billet

Major can," shouted Charlie, ''but
can tell You, boys, that if you don't kill
them-why, darn it, they'll kill you!'
A CLEAN of fire from the narrow win

But the rear side of the building had
no windows, and save the cracks the
men had found in the boards, no loop

in height, one foot wide, and foot and

her was fired from the confederate
