Manure on the farm IS seldom an
abundant article, and It IS frequently
spread over the land lnjudlcIously. 1t
should be the aim TO apply the manure
over the poorest spots of the field more
literally than on the portions that are
fertile. BY so doing the farmer can
utilize his manure to the best advant-
age and in few years have his land
uniform in fertility. When manure IS

Relative value of Wheat and Oats

Relative Nolue of Wheat and Oats
Regarding the relative value Of whcnt
and oats much depends on the soil and
conditions. The production Of stray
taxes the land. though straw IS given
but little value ns n portion of the
crop. Estimating a yield Of twenty
bushels of wheat and forty bushels Of
oats per acre, the experiment stations
have shown that there viii be about
PIT pounds Of wheat straw to 100
pounds Of grain and 1884 pounds Of
straw to 100 pounds of grain IN oats.
According to such estimates wheat
would remove from the land loo
pounds Of grain and 2,G04 pounds of
straw. while oats would remove | .2Sn
pounds Of grain and l,G33h pounds Of
straw per acre. With wheat there
would consequently be removed from
the soil In the grain for each ton l5.1
pounds phosphorlc acid, 8.s of potash
and 34.2 pounds Of nitrogen, the straw
removing 2 pounds phosphoric acid
lO.0 Of potash and 0.5 OF nitrogen
With oats a ton Of 1000 pounds would
remove, in the grain, ll.0 pounds of
phosphorlc ncid, 0.S Of potash and 20

message, the writing becomes visible
In "all light" seances. when writings
are given, clairvoyancy is the medium
used.
The materializing medium is the
highest. At his bidding the spirits
stalk forth, converse, and even en-
brace you very tenderly, according to
their degree Of kin. or course there
are certain restrictions always placed
at the beginning of the seanCe. If
these are violated even in the smallest
dogree the spirit evanesce and the sit
ting is broken up. The accompanying
fiashlight pictures show stages of a
materialiZing seance and led to a hui
initiating exposure of the supposed
spirits.
An adequate explanation of all the
so-called spirit phenomena the writer
has observed at Lily Dale and else
where during great many years ia
found in clairvoyants. The consulting
subject comes perfectly disposed. with
mind in touch with the mediums. and
filled with matters OF deep personal in
terest. The clairvoyant sees one or
all OF these Immediately. and by men
tioning them to the subject train of
thought is awakened that runs over
long period OF life ana gives the me-
dunn ample field for telling enough to
startle any one not acquainted with
the cause.
Clairvoyance stands as a proved fact.
It eliminates the spirit element from
all these so-called spirit manifesto
tions. 1t keeps them on the plane OF
the natural. Applied to slate writing
business. love, and future forecasts.
we can easily explain all these pho
nomena. so puzzling to the uninitiated.
There is another interesting phase
Of spiritualism highly developed at
lily Dale. This is spirit photography.
Not many people have seen spirit pic
lures. We reproduce some samples
here. The spirit photograph Is taken
just the same as any photograph. but
by some mysterious process or other
the spirit friends and guides of the
subject are photographed at the same
time. The well-developed spirituaiist
Is supposed to have guides and friends
from spirit-land In constant attend
ance. When the subject Is sitting
these spirits are supposed to material
ize to n greater or less degree. thus
showing their features more or less
