ManurinC Pastures.

Apply manure to pastures by spread.
ing 1t on the surface and it greatly
stimulates the growth of the grass. The
casual observer may conclude that the
extra grazing thus furnished is the
sole gain. Such conclusion is
great mistake, says Thomas Shaw in
the Ohio Farmer. Root production in
the grass is increased proportionately
with top production. This means
that there is great increase in fertil-
lzing matter in the soil in the readily
available form of vegetable plant
food
The benefit from the manure comes
back in the form of duplicate OF at
least a two-fold harvest The first
benefit is in the form of increased
grass production, and the second
benefit is in the form of increased grain
production. Should the pasture be
plowed up and sown to grain OF
course if the pasture is permanent
one, the second benefit will not be
forthcoming otherwise than in the
form of increased productivity in the
pasture for a longer term of years.
Applying farmyard manure thus is
certainly one of the most profitable
ways i'll which it can be applied, and,
for several reasons, it is, all things
considered, the most convenient way
of applying it. 1t can be drawn at
any season of the year that may be
desired. The time when it would be
least advantageous to apply such a
fertilizer is the season when it cannot
usually be drawn, that is when the
grass is growing vigorously in the
spring. The much labor that is then
on hand forbids the drawing of man
ure. 1t may be applied with great
advantage in the late autumn and dur
ing the winter when the surface of
the land is sufficiently frozen to sus-
tain a loaded wagon or sled. There
are no seasons of the year when the
farmers have so much leisure for
drawing it, and they can then apply
it i'll the fresh form.
1t is greatly advantageous to be able
to apply manure in the fresh form,
not only because it is convenient but
because it is also economical 1t is
economical because it precludes the
necessity for handling the manure
twice as when it is composted in the
field or piled and turned in the yard.
1t is economical since it precludes the
necessity Of having manure sheds, and
it is economical because it prevents
nearly all waste of fertility.
1t may be objected that manure will
waste by teaching when applied upon
a frozen surface and when the snow is
on the ground. The objection is not
well taken except when it is applied
on hilly surfaces OF on land subject to
overflow in the spring. All experience
on this question points to the conclu-
sion that there will be but little waste
from teaching when manure is thVI
applied. The great growth of the
grass the following season points to
the direction which the teaching has
taken. To be able thus to apply man.
ure is a great matter. There is no loss
from teaching in the yard. There is
no waste of nitrogen from decomposi-
ton unduly rapid and excessive, and
there is no waste from fire fang.

of which dog will be attached. He
will take advantage of that trait of
dog nature which makes him reluctant
to be left behind. He wants to keep
up with the procession, but to do SO
he must work hard When the food
stored in one of the sledges is needed
it is ripped open like a tin can aud
thrown away. The dog which has
drawn it, being no longer needed, is
at once converted into food for his
fellows.

brunt of any fighting.)
their record shows that they have
never been afraid to try it.
This idea that France is afraid OF
England or any other nation is tommy
rot.
In the many conflicts between
France and England history shows
that success has not always rested with
the British army. True, Marlborough
and Wellington were successful, but
on many occasions the British lion
has gone down before the eagles of
France.
England had her Wellington, but
France produced Napoleon. Yelling
ton had all Europe at his back, while
Napoleon had only the French. Still
history does not record that Yelling
ton had very easy time.
Tho fighting force of the two nations
is of prime interest just now.
They are not so unevenly matched,
after all.
France has the stronger army-Eng-
land the stronger navy. One month
ago the English Weekly said, "The
army of France is to-day among the
most magnificent the worl1 has ever
known, y and the Weekly added, "The
nation that undertakes her in time of
war will as certainly rue it, for when
ever her strength has had occasion to
go forth, nothing appeared that might
tend to show shadow weaker than
her fellow Powers -
These remarks were made by the
British paper before there was prob
ability of war between the two nations.
On peace footing the army of
France is more than twice as great as
that of Great Britain.
On war footing France would have
just u times rs many soldiers as Eng
land.
Now, on war footing France would
have the advantage, because practi-
cally all of her citizens are soldiers.
England has nothing of this and would

have to 60 to work to make soldiers
out of raw recruits.
On the sea, however, Great Britain
shows to much better advantage.
The United Kingdom is the first
naval Power of the world.
But France is the second.
And good second ct that.

Conscience Money

Several weeks ago the Florida

article regarding Mr.. Agnew and
the efforts being made towards

saying he had received a letter
from a Marion County debtor
enclosing check to cover his in
debtc1ness to Mr. Agnew. and
the article IN the Star was the
cause of said act. After reading
that Mrs. AgneW had sold all the
properly she possessed to defend
Mr.. Agnew, his conscience smote
him and knowing he owed Mr..
Agnew an honest debt, but one

THE PROBLEM SOLVED

TESTED.
Results Of the Test in Various Forms
of Dyspepsia.

! Chrome indigestion or dyspep-
>la, while very common trouble.
/ has for some time been looked
upon by able physicians as a seri-
Gus thing, and that no time should
be lost in treating it properly at
/ the start, because recent re-
searches have shown that the
most serious, fatal and iucurahle
diseases bave their origin i'll SIM
pie dyspepsia or indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of
indigestion, the sugar and starchy
food not being asSimilatcd by the
digestive organs. In Bright's dis
ease the albumcn IS not properly
aSSinilated.
While consumption and dyspep-
STA are twin diseases. and il is be-
yOnd question that dyspepsia
makes fertile soil for the seeds
of consumption, yet the trouble
has been TO find remedy that
could be depended upon to cure
dyspepsia, as it IS VIGOROUSLY OBJ
Stinate and difficult TO cure.
This has been the question
which has puzzled ply sicianS and
dyspepticS alike. until the ques-
ton was solved three years ago
by the appearance of new dys-
pepsia cure Ill the medical world
known as Stuart, ; Dyspepsia Tab
lets, which it was claimed was as
a certain, reliable cure for every
form of stomach trouble.
Physicians, however, would not
accept such statements without
first giving the new remedy many
tests and carefully Observing re-
suits.
For three years the remedy has
been thoroughly tested il every
section of the country and with
surprising and satisfactory re-
suits.
