columns for the purpose Of forming a
closer acquaintanceship with each other

We can thus bring the problems we

inexperienced writer's and undisciplined
thinkers may sometimes feel inclined to
reflect upon those who do not agree with
them upon public questions, but time
and discussion will give experience. And
when the discovery is made that there
are depths which have not been sounded
by the superficial thinker and writer, he
will become more guarded in expression,
and will soon learn to respect the
opinions Of others. The editors Of these
papers may usually be relied upon to
exercise a wise supervision over the
matter that finds place in their columns,
and thus prevent proper discussion from
sinking into unfraternal wrsngling, TO
the injury Of the order, as well as the
writer's. A fraternal spirit and wise

Mulching.

1t has been pretty thoroughly dem
onstrated that few things are more
harmful than to denude the soil entirely
and then allow it TO remain for length
Of time. 1t has also been demonstrated
that the soil is increased in fertility by
covering much more than the amount
Of material placed upon the ground as q
mulch. By mulching in good season q
large amount Of atmospheric ammonia
deposited by the rains is retained.
Another item that is Of special value
during the summer is that with all
plants, especially during growth, q GER

stock has made them popular among

Kansas Weeds.

The State Agricultural College desires
specimens Of weeds from all parts Of the
State, and gives the following directions
for sending them: "a small portion Of
each plant showing few ell-devsloped
leaves, and flowers or fruit if convenient,
can be wrapped snugly in paper and
sent by mail to the botanical department
Of the Experiment Station, Manhattan,
Kas. Each plant should have a number
attached to it, but no other writing. In
a letter sent separately should be given
all the information concerning each
number. This information should in
clude the name Of the weed in common
usage, the abundance, the kind of soil in
which it occurs; notes on methods used
In eradication of weeds in general, or Of
any kind in particular, whether success
full; the relative noxiousness and the
amount Of damage done to crops by
different kinds Of weeds.
"Upon the outside of the package the
sender should, In addition to the address,
write his own name and address after
the word from The Station will return
the postage to any sending weeds in this
way. The plants should not be put in
a box, nor should they be sent by express.
1t is hoped that our correspondents will
aid US in this matter by sending speci-
mems. Since the publication Of Bulletin
90 several correspondents have sent us
packages Of weeds from the counties in
which they reside. We wish to thank
them for their interest in the subject.
''We wish particularly to have collec-
tious from the following counties, as
they are scarcely represented In our
herbarium: Anderson, Allen, Chau.

Comanche, Cowley, Dickinson, Edwards,

rendering or making the largest amount
Of plant food available, and to enable
the 6brOus roots Of many plants TO feed
to the best advantage. Another gain In
mulOhing is that it tends to cool and
equalize the temperature near the sur
face, as sudden changes Of temperature
affect uDfavorably both plants and
animals, and good mulohing equalizss
the conditions, retards the actions OF
pests and allows the plant to adapt itself
to the change. Then mechanically it
breaks the force Of the rains and pre-.
vents them from compacting the soil. IL
the soil is thoroughly mellowed and
fixed when the mulch ls applied it will
keep in fine mellow condition during
the greater part Of the season, and this
with many plants lessons the labor Of
cultivation. Another item secured is In
the storing Of nitrogen in the soil; soil
kept closely shaded during the hot
weather supplies conditions especially
favorable to the storing of nitrogen In
the soil. A soil not disturbed and with no
plants growing in it will gradually grow
richer without any fertilizer or spplica-
tions OF manures, so that il done in good
season and properly done mulching can
be made quite beneHcial.-N. J. Shep-
herd in Farmers Voice.

Horse and Mule Market.

st. Louis has attracted the attention
of the world by the remarkable growth
of its horse and mule business. This
market is undoubtedly destined to be
the greatest In America in this line of
commercial transactions.
In the year 1890 there were marketed
at st. Louis 82,O7l horses and mules,
and for several years this figure was
the highest. Later receipts diminished
until 1893, the total then being 1884;
but new life was forced into the trade
by the establishment of the new mar
ket at the National Stock Yards In
May, 1895, since which time the old
time life has again appeared and sll
that was lost has been regained. The
year 1895, which opened so badly,
closed with a total of $4,000 head as the
receipts for the year, and with St..
Louis leading all other markets for the
last three months of the year. The
figures given are those of the Mer-
chants Exchange and represent the
Broadway sales in addition to the Ma
tional Yards, but 1t Is conceded that
this new life and activity is due to the
Stock Yards market. The actual in.
crease Of business at the National
Yards is in excess of 100 per cent.
The National Stock Yards Company
has already completed Veritable city
of new barns, which are capable Of
housing thousands Of horses and mules.
The feeding arrangements are very
complete and the charges are nominal.
A complete summing up of all that
should be mentioned to give q res-
sOnsble idea of the horse and mule
market Of the National Stock Yards
would require a large amount Of space.
What is true of the cattle, hog and
sheep market is no less true Of the
horse and mule market. While there
may be numberless fine barns, plenty
of railroads, finely equipped yards and
fsultless ConVeniences, yet with all
these success would be impossible
without the thrifty, energetic, enter
prising commission men. 1t is safe to
say that no horse and mule market of
the world has a better class of these
men than the National Yards Of East
st. Louis. Special mention is made of
the following firms:
THE A. B. CLARKE COMPANY,
A. B. Clarke, a practical hOrseman
to whom the Omaha horse market owes
its success, whose card appears regu-
lsrly In the ADVOCATE, has established
himself at the National Yards and &C.
cured the Thursday auction privilege.
NJ. H. Ball, gentleman Of high char
acter and long experience, has accepted
the position of Secretary and Treas
urer of the A. B. Clarke Company.
Personal supervision Of every detail Of
the work, together with wide expert
ence and a determination to excel, has
already assured success for this firm.
They enjoy reputation for integrity
and responsibility which is excellent.
