Value of Green Manning.

AT the Massachusetts hatch expert
ment station the matter resolves itself
into this-that the search for a profita-
Bile crop for green manuring the better
classes of soils is without avail. The
distinction should be borne in mind be-
tween green manuring-the blowing
under of green plants-and blowing un-
der the stubble and remains of a crop
The latter is necessary and often results
III much good to the land. But is a mis-
take to plow into the soil for manure a
pound of vegetable albuminoids which
could be used for making milk or meat
Green manuring, except with lupines
on light sandy soils, marks no progress
in farm management. Let US then take
advantage of these recent discoveries of
agricultural science not to manure the
soil with atmospheric nitrogen, but to
produce and to utilize TO the fullest eX-
tent the nirogenous and carbonaceous
materials derived from the air by feed
ing them TO farm animals.

Hungarian bronze ought to be cut

this period the stems rapidly become
hard and woody and valueless for hay
At present, however, this grass is es-
teemed more for grazing In the south

prove to be valuable for winter pastures.
In portions Of the arid regions of the
west and in parts of California where
the finer grasses have failed this bronze
has grown well.
The seed of Hungarian bronze may be
obtained from the leading seedsmen in
the larger cities. The amount reqGired
per acre is variously given at from 30
to 90 pounds. 1t may be sowed i'll the
autumn with winter wheat or in early
spring; for the southern states, Februa-

land is the same as for other grasses or
grain. In the north it blooms i'll June
and of course somewhat earlier in ghe
southern states. 1t is usually sowed UNI

out other plants. In Hungary it is
sometimes mixed with lucern in pro-
portion of three to two. In the forma-
ton of permanent pastures various
grasses and clovers, where these will
grow, ought to he mixed with it.

HOW TO APPLY MANURE.
The Director of the New Hampshire sta
ton Talks on This Subject.

Inc OlrectOF OF tne new hampshire Bur
tion Talks on This Subject.
There was a time when it was regard
ed as settled that the losses from manure
were through the air-that is, that the
escape of ammonia was the great thing
to be guarded against, and indeed under
the then prevailing custom of allowing
manures to heat-either in piles in the
yard or in the large heaps that had been
drawn from the barn to the field to be
stored unprotected until the season for
planting-this was true. Here are the
most favorable conditions possible for
fermentation and the attendant forma-
ton of ammonia compounds from the
liquid part of the manure to be
found, and here it is that the manure is
really wasted in the air, but aside from
this ineXcusable method the manage
ment of manure can hardly be planned
so that the loss will be through the air,
but rather will it result from the down
ward passage Of soil waters. The drain
age water from our fields carries fertili-
ty away--not rapidly, it is true, but ap-
probably. With this view of the case
we should so place our farmyard ma
nure that it shall have just as much soil
as possible to filter through
Rain falling on field, whether the
field is level or considerably sloping,
tends first of all to enter the soil just as
water falling on q sponge is absorbed,
and the filtcring away of this water
causes it to flow along through the soil,
not over its surface.
There are exceptions. A field may be
so steep that a heavy rainfall will rush
down It's surface and mechanically car
ry away soil and manure, or the land
may be SO full of water that rainwater
does not freely filter through it, but
even then the surface water is bound to
crowd out that already in the soil, so
that the exceptions, while existing, are
not to be considered as of more impor-
lance than the general run of cases.
Surface manuring is the logical re-
suit of study Of facts relating to fer
tilizing in general. But by surface fer
tilizing Director Witchor does not mean,
as he takes care to explain in the New
York Tribune, that the manure should
be allowed to remain on the very top of
the SOIL but rather that it should be
mixed with two or three inches of the
soil, and the more intimately it is mix
ed the better. And right here is where
fall surface manuring derives its chief
advantage. He says:
l have repeatedly seen as high as 40
loads of coarse, green manure spread on
the surface of an acre of land III the
fall To have narrowed this quantity III
So that little or no manure should have
been left in sight would have been an
impossibility with any form of harrow
that we now have, and yet after the fall
rains the. winter SHOWS and frOsts and
the spring rains had worked on that
manure an ordinary narrowing would
completely incorporate it into the soil.
| In fact, the elements had themselves
mixed the plant food with the soil, and
the manure had become pulverized anC
as fine as compost, and with none Oh
very little of the loss that results from
rotting or composing as ordinarily prac
ticed

HUNGARIAN BRONZE GRASS.


Protracted Drought.
Hungarian bronze grass, sometimes
called awnless bronze, is a vigorous,
hardy perennial, with strong, creeping
root stalks, smooth, upright, leafy
stems one to three feet high and loose,
open panicle or head. 1t is a native of
Europe. The name Hungarian bronze
originated doubtless frohI the fact that
the cultivation of the grass was first
brought to notice in Hungary. The de
partment of agriculture calls attention
to this grass in circular issued from
the division of botany.
While this grass will grow on lands
too poor for the more valued agricul-
tural grasses and under conditions of
climate which would entirely preclude
the culture of these last, the better the
conditions the better the growth. The
reported yield is one to three tons to the
acre. At the central experimental farm,
Ottawa, the pure plot culture gave at
one cutting yield of 3s4 tons of cured
hay, and the station reports, nearly
without exception, praise it III the high

Shall Farmers Mix Fertilizers

A correspondent of Country Gentle
man, who replies to this query in the
Negative, assumes that it is almost or
quite impracticable to get an even. uni
form mixture without suitable machin-
cry and adequate knowledge Of proper
proportions, etc. He also says: The farm
er would have to buy his materials at
retail prices and pay excessive freights,
owing to the small quantity shipped,
which, added to the labor, would make
his fertilizer cost him much more than
a properly made, well formulated ferti-
lizer suitable for the crops he desired
to raise.

Worst Strictly Gin It."

Fargo Argus: Senator John n.
Worst, republican candidate for lieuten.
ant governor, spoke for an hour at the
Armory last evening. He spoke for
true republicanism; for true American
ism; for American homes; for American
w%orkingmen. While he poured hot
shot in broadsides into populism, not a
word was spoken 10 unkindness, not a
word of misrepresentation, but he
APPLY suggested that populism is a dis
ease which, like. the measles, people
never take but once. Oregon has re-
covered. Kansas and Colorado are con-
valescing, and North Dakota is feeling
better, and is certain to be herself again
when the cold days of November come.
He glanced at the money proposition
of the populists, which they claim will
double the wealth of the people, sug-
costing that those who work and only
have their wages, would gain nothing
from the 20 or SO per cent. added to the
millions of Vanderbilt, Jim Hill and
others, while they have little to increase
in value. What the people want is work
and compensation for their labor. He
said 100000 people were thrown out of
employment by the reversal of republi-
can policies; that their employment would
add 100000 daily or s1OO,OOO,OOO per
month, to the business of the country, or
o than $780, 100000 since the demo.
Gratis, by the aid of the populists, voted
the republicans out of power, and that
in this feature alone there was abundant
cause for the panic. Republican policies
always have and always will bring pros
perity. Republican policies will bring
money out of hiding, and give work to
the unemployed, and with men employed
there would be no place in this nation
for a populist ticket.
Mr.. Worst paid proper respect to
Senator Roach IN the question Of free
wool; all other senators and members
stood for the vital interests of their con.
s%tituents; Roach did not.
Throughout, it was a grand speech,
grandly spoken, and every republican
present felt pride in the man as we'll as
in his republicanism.

received. You ask for some good reason
why Miss Bates should be elected state
superintendent of schools. From limited
personal knowledge, having met the lady
only once, I can say 1 was favorably i'm
pressed with her. I consider her the
finest lady speaker in the state. She is
recognized by the state w. G. T. U. as a
superior christian woman, and is state
superintendent of social purity. I think
the republican party have honored them
selves by placing Miss Emma Bates
name on their ticket. She is all expert
enced educator, and is held in high es-
TEEN by her pupils and those who know
her best. A VOTER.

Boys, Take

Every person who Injuries a tree or
shrub in u city, commits a crime. Had
all the trees that have been planted in
Bismarck in the last five years been
properly protected, we could boast
many cool, shady walks, we now
lack. 1t is never to late to do good.
Most of the injury to trees comes from
the mischievousness of boys or thought
lessness of older persons, breaking off a
branch or limb as they pass. Mayor
Leslie has wisely concluded to put a
stop to this. In doing so, he should
have the support of every good citizen.
Let HIM know the name of every person
you see lnjuring trees. He says:
Boys are in the habit of pulling branches
from trees on our streets. 1t kills the
young trees, and boys should remember
that they must not do it, or they will be
liable to arrest. By order Of
A. N. LESLIE, Mayor.
