iiead-in-earnest idea OF acquiring the
best Judgment possible in the matter.
Yet a man ought to know all he can
how to save the fertility OF his farm.
Fertility is like money in the bank.
If you don't. keep the deposit good
you will soon have to stop checking
out.
Some valuable facts are brought
out in Bulletin % OF the Cornell Uni
versity Experiment Station. Prof.
Roberts proposed to fpd out the
amount of loss in manure exposed as
the farmer usually exposes it. Here
is the result:
In the experiments Of 1890 horse manure
was saved from day TO day until n pile OF
two tons had been accumulated. This was
done from April Is TO Is, Cut wheat straw
was used plentifully as bedding. the relative
amount OF straw and manure being 1919
pounds excrement and 6Sl pounds OF straw,
Chemical ANALYSIS showed that one ton Of
this fresh manure contained nearly ten
pounds OF nitrogen. seven and One-bah
pounds OF phosphoric acid. and eighteen
pounds OF potash. making its value about
about $3.50. IL these constituents be valued
at the same rate as in commercial fertilizers.
The pile OF manure thus made was pat in
a place exposed to the weather. and where
the drainage was so good that all the water
not absorbed by the manure ran through
and off at once. II remained exposed from
April 25 to Sept. ~. at which time IL was
carefully scraped up and weighed and u
sample taken for ANALYSIS
1t was found that the 1000 had shrunk to
1,73O pounds during the six months, and
analysis showed that this l.730 WAS less
valuable. pound for pound. than the original
lot OF manure. 1t had not only lost bv
leeching. but by heating or fire fanging"
during periods OF warm weather, and the
value of the pile of 1000 pounds had shrunk
from $500 to S2.25--a loss OF 81 per cent.
In summing up the result of this expert
ment. Director Roberts says: 1T seems
safe to say that under the ordinary con-
ditions of piling and exposure the loss OF
fertiliZing materials during the course Of
the summer is not likely 20 be much below
80 per cent. OF the original valae of he
manure. s@SU 't''
Further experiments showed that the
liquid manure from COW is worth as much
per day as the solid manure. and that the
combined value OF the two is nearly 10
cents per day. IL valued at the same rate as
commercial fertilizers; that from horse at
7 cents, that from sheep at 11a cents. and
that from hog at cent for literally fed.
thrifty shoats of medium size.
Director Roberts is careful to exPluin that
those values will have TO be modified to
suit individual circumstances What he
means is that II farmers can afford to buy
commercial fertilizers at current prices,
then the manures OF the farm are worth the
prices given.
a cheap manure shed, under which manure
may be saved with practically no loss.

A Cheap Dairy Cooler.

1t costs lot OF money to put in n
cold storage or cold air system in a
dairy or other building. and most
farmers cannot afford the outlay. We
herewith present the plan of dairy
house that is used by Henry Fred
ricks of Australia. The necessary
thing is an abundance of cool water,
which may be found on most farms.

Dairy Notes

GOOD care of the dairy COWS should
commence with the calves
GROUND oats mixed with the bran
and corn meal will be sure to increase
the flow OF milk. Have you oats?
Try them.
Do FOR the COWS as you would have
them do foe you; your best for their
best is a fair exchange to which no
good COW will ever object.

Recipes.

SMALL PLUM PUDDING.-One cup
of milk, one-half cup of sugar, one
half cup Of molasses, one-half cup of
butter, two cups OF flour, one cup of
raisins, one teaspoonful Of Soda.
Steam two hours. Sauce: One cup
of sugar, one egg, beat together and

This is all the better il the rule is
doubled and the time for baking also
doubled.

The decision which the New York
Court of Appeals made on Thursday in
the apportOnment case ought to convince
the Dispatch that it is not usurpation
for a court to examine an act of the
Legislature making an apportionment,
and, if found to be inside the COnstitu-
ton, to approve of it, but, if found to be
outside the Constitution, to condemn it,
1t ought to convince the Dispatch that
The Times pointed out to il the true
view of the ease, which is this: If the
Legislature, or any officer of Government,
has n discretion il is not for the courts
to control him or it in the exercise of
that discretion. But, if the Constitution
marks out Il plain line of action to the
Legislature in appointments, or in any
other matter it must keep within the
lines laid down by the Constitution, or
it becomes the duty of the courts to pro-
nounce its action void. Even where the
Legislature is given discretion in max
ing appointments, still the courts will
declare its action void if that action
shows that il has abused its discretion
and accomplished an end which the Con-

stitution plainly forbids under a false
prctcnse that It was bona fide. exercis-
ing it's discretion according to its best
Judgment. Such would be case of
fraud, and the courts sit to stamp out
fraud whenever and wherever ii appears.
The Dispatch will find all the law Of
the case contained in the following ex-
tract from the New York Courts opin-
ion:
II. 1t is finally objected that the act
il invalid because the Senate districts do
not contain an equal number of inhabi-
tants as nearly as may be. This question
of inequality contains, in our Judgment
the only dcbatable proposition arising in
these cases.
1--WE think that the courts have no
power i'm such case TO review the eK-
ercisc of a discretion entrusted to the
Legislature by the Constitution unless 1t
is plainly and grossly abused. The e1-
preston, as nearly rs may be, when
used in the Constitution with reference
to the sub ect. does not mean as nearly
as n mathematical process can be follow
cd. IL is a direction addressed TO the
Legislature in the way OF general state
ment Of the principles upolls which the
apportionment shall be made. We DO
not intimate that in no case could the
action of the Legislature be reviewed by
the courts. Cases may easily he lInag-
ined where the action of that body would
be so gross violation of the Constitu-
ton as to demand n review.
The Dispatch will see that if the act
of the New York Legislature. though
honestly intended, had been in open vio-
lation of New York's Constitution the
court would have pronounced 1t void;
and if il had seen from the case that
the Legislature had made fragrant
and fraudulent abuse of its discretion.
it would also have pronounced its action
void. In view of the fact that every
court of last resort which has consider
ed the subject has laid the law down
as we have stated it, the Dispatch might,
most uscfully to itself. revise its opin-
ion and conclude that n court is not
guilty Of usurpation when 1t examines
an appOrtiOnmcnt act to determine
whether it is within or without the
lines of the Constitution.

am wrong in this construction. If give
tho public what happened before the
committee at the Minneapolis convention
as / heard it from n gentleman OF UNI
doubted yeracity, who was delegate

doubts should be removed about my con-

by the committee in the absence of the

TIN, Virginia member, when he found out
the committee had passed the present
plank, entered his protest to the present

jy which the plank had been adopted,
and offered an amendment, the effect OF
which would make the Force Bill APP
NV only TO Federal elections This
amendment was defeated by decided
majority. This gentleman also said the
committee made a big mistake in reject
ing the amendment. Now these are the
facts as | heard them. The convention
adopted the present plank known as the

/ will not insert the ''FJrce Bill plank,
