TALK ABOUT MANURES.
Some Practical Suggestions ofvalue.

some Practchi suEgsSttons OF value.
J. o. Sanford took the stand at the
Craftsbury farmers meeting and advccat-
ed more economical method OF saving
and applying manure. He spoke OF tine
carly settlers aud their trials and suiFerinss:
also of the vergin soil being very rioh and
productive and producing crops Of great
magnitude with no fertilizers. Our fathers
had no idea of replenishing the fertility OF
the soil. We have nearly 400, 600 cows in
the State and the value of droppings per
COW estimated upon the cost OF the elements
it contains is worth at least S2O per COWS
nearly one half of this is lost Our barn;
are constructed with nc idea Of saving these
elements. The farmers half century
ago raised corn, oats wheat.
and pork for the market: we cannot do il;
times have changed, and we live in an
tirely different age, and are obliged to de-
pend upon very different basis Our
stables should be Uttered, use sawdust, and
believe the sooner manure is applied broad
cast the better; would if practicable apply
to the land every day the day it was
dropped; do rot believe in applying to
very poor land. We are running over too
much land, better turn some Of our land to
pasture aud go over less ground manura
pays the best on good ground and never
manure more land than you can manure
well. Raised this year from a rich piece OF
land large crop of Orchard grass, cut
June !, then turned over and planted TO
corn the 18th Of June and raised good
cror. This can never be done on poor or
untertizod land. Farmers should in buy
ing grain pay much more attention to its
msnural value.
George Howard asked--Is there any diff
ference in wheat bran?
Mr.. Sanford-Yes, | very much prefer
the winter wheat bran from the roller pro-
cess than any spring wheat bran. The lat
ter is liable to I've flled with cookie ami
other foul seeds. Patent process bran is
worth s. per ton more than spring bran.
Answer to Charles Roots question
Good hay has manural value OF IS per
! ton, corn about the same cotton seed meal
S92 TO S24 per ton.
Dr. Beemis asked about the manura
spreader: Sanford sad--Do not think they
are an economical implement as yet; they
draw very hard and do not hold a very
large load; think they will be produced
cheaper and improved. Need not be afraid
to spread manure at any time of year.
Mr.. Dutton thinks manure put on as a
top dressing for meadows ia worth much
moro than if put on by hand.
MIR. Chaplin Uses a heavy bush over land
that has been heavily topped dressed.
Mr.. Spear does not want to leave the i'm
preston that the board is visionary; the
clements that the chemists tells Us that ara
in our manure are undoubtedly true and
cost US au equal amount when purchased az
commercial fertilizers, but no farmer can
afford to raise crops by commercial fertll-
izer alone. They are valuable to start tho
crop and insure early maturity. 1t Is Verv
valuable for farmers to know the co nparp-

To the Bitter End.

ScoTTDALE, Pa, April 1O.-It is now
absolutely certain that the coke strike
will be fought to the bitter end. This
was the unanimous decision of to-day's
strikers convention, and it is ringing
throughout the region tonight. Seldom
before has so general an interest been
taken in q convention, and crowds of
strikers and citizens surrounded the K.
of L. hall to learn the outcome. The
convention wa of a special character,
and this morning the business was COM
menced and fully eighty delegates an
swered to the roll call. On account of
it's varied Importance, every plant in the
region having a representative, it was
evidenced early in the day by the ex-
preston of delegates that the feeling of
the masses was for the continuation of
the struggle, and subsequent events car
ried it out. Secretary Parker delivered
his report, reviewing the situation at
length and criticising the operators Sc
verely for their actions in the midnight
attempt to destroy their organization by
posting up a sliding scale.

SCHEME.

He Wants to exhibit a Miniature. Irrigat-
ed farm at the Worlds Fair.
Sioux FALLS, s. D. April Ex-senator
Pettigrew has evolved a scheme by
which South Dakota will be represented
at the Worlds Fair, v 9 if the legisla-
ture did not appropriate anything. His
proposition, which he has submitted to
the capitalists of the state, is to organize q
stock company with 10000 shares at SIS
a share, raising thereby 100000, with
which to make an exhibit. The scheme
involves the exhibition of a miniature
South Dakota farm, irrigated by an ar
tesian we'll, with all the appliances that
have been discovered, so as to make the
illustration instructive and entertaining.
The proposition includes that the state
shall pay the par value of the stock at
the next session of the legislature, and
thus relieve the citizens of the burden
the state should properly care for.

Fire in Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 8.-The large

Five Hundred Men in Limo at the
Ashland Land Office Waiting
for Opening Day.
They Sleep in Their Places and Are
Exposed to Cold and
Wet.
An Effort Made to Break the Line;
but the Only Effect Was to
Form More Lines.
Desperate Land Seekers.

ASHLAND, Wis, April 14.-The COM
mencement of what will undoubtedly be
a serious trouble at the rear of the
United Stated States land Office, among
the flers on Omaha land, made this
morning about 3 o'clock, when about 100
invaders, Iunder the leadership of J. D.
Day, a lumberman and lawyer of Chip
pewa Falls, made a silent descent upon
the.sleeping flers. The crowd had quietly
collected at one of the hotels and
marched to within a block of the land Of
fee, when they filed in between two
buildings and approached the
line from the rear. They were
stopped by the police, who threatened
them with death if they attempted to
modest the men in line or approach
nearer. The men we're held at bay until
daylight when the Day force arrived and
they were allowed to come up abreast of
the original line. This afternoon G. F.
Mackmiller, who owns a large part OF
the ground back of the land office, made
a demand on the men on his property, to
move. They did SO and nov a high
and heavy fence has been built around
a large portion and other men have been
permitted to go inside on the payment
of a certain sum. The men driven from
the ground moved ahead of the ground
in question and formed on the opposite
side of the leaders from the invading
crowd. Tonight there are fully 500
men formed in four separate lines.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Commissioner
Carter of the general land office has re.
ceived information that great excitement
exists among people in the vicinity OF
the lands in Northern Wisconsin,, along
the line of the Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Omaha railroad which will be
opened to homestead settlement on next
Saturday. At Ashland it Is said acrowd
of we'll armed men have formed a circle
around the local land office and threaten
to shoot any one who attempts to break
through the line, or in any way tries to
forestall them in filing the necessary
application papers. These men, it is
said, sleep on the ground at their posts
and are masters of the situation. Com
missioner Carter, in speaking Of the mat
ter to-day said that these hostile demon
STATIONS would work only hardship to
the persons engaged in them, for no one
would be permitted to acquire the rights
under the land laws by the force of arms
or intimidation. A large part of these
lands is said to be valuable for their
pine timber, many quarter sections be-
ing worth from $4,000 to $4,000.

Starting the Coke Works.

SooTTDALE, Pa, April 13.-There was
unusual activity all along the line to-day,
owing to the fact that the Prick and Nc
Clure companies had decided to begin
operations at all the plants possible. The
Mcclure company concentrated their ef-
forts on their Painter plant and So the
men went to work there today. The 9TH
or Mcclure plants at Lemont, Donnelly,
Diamond, Buckeye, Rising Sun, Besse-
mer and Mayneld are still totally idle,
however. Frick & Co. state that their
shipments to-day will reach 100
cars of coke, but the work.
ers deny this as usual.
Some twenty eviction notices have been
served at the Trotter plant alone and, in
view of the fact that fully 200 notices
have been served throughout this region,
it is thought the trouble will come when
the warrants are carried out, as the
strikers will certainly not 60 peaceably.
Great mass meetings have been held at
Bessemer and other points to-day, and at
each resolutions were adopted to remain
out until the end.
