Spreading Manure In Winter.

A great many farmers hesitate 10 draw
manure and spread it on their fields as
made because they fear that what is
TINS spread in fall and winter will be
washed away by spring floods. Follow
ing are some statements on the subject
made by American Cultiyator:
There is really no danger Of this, ex-
cept to land subject to overflow. The
heaviest rains soak through the manure
into the soil beneath. Very rarely, If
ever, does this water thus manure soak
ed reach even to foot beyond where
the clod of manure lies. AS a matter Of
fact, unfermented manure has little fer
tility that is i'll soluble form. There is
reason for farmers 10 delay drawing
away their manure piles if they are
waiting for them to ferment. This fer
mented manure has plant food immedi-
ately available. When it is put on grass
land in winter, it shows with the first
warm days Of spring in the brighter
green of the grass to which it is applied
In winters when there is very heavy
snowfall the application Of fermented
manure late in fall will start new
growth under the snowbanks

OF DR.. f. b. McNeal the present incum-

The platform is long document, and

The financial plank is as follows:

currency of gold silver. and paper with
which to measure our exchanges that
shall be as sound as the Government
and as untarnshed as its honor. and to
that end we favor bimetallism and de-
mand the use of both gold and silver as
