II Doesn't Pay to Use Manures Mere
~ to Enrich the Soil-ouick Ac-
tton IL what II Needed.

One of the old-time practices In
farming is the fall application of ma
pures, being confined almost wholly
TO winter wheat. This is still a good
plan so far as it goes, though not eco
ncmical, but spring applications OF
coarse manures are coming rapidly in
favor, especially for clean cultivation
crops. Coarse manures with clean cul-
tivation, frequent tiliage, rapidly be-
como available as plant food. 1t no
longer pays to use mannres merely to
enrich the soil, but it does pay to use
them to grow immediate crops. Ma
nure which stays in the soil two or
three years before becoming fully
available us plant food, is worth much
less than the same amount in quick
" available FORM
Spring manuring has its disadvan'
tages notwithstanding. In oil farm
ward manures the amonia is first to be
come available, and unless potash and
phosphates have been used previously
there is much risk that the ready sup
nix az ammonia viii encourage ranl
growth Of leaf at the expense of thu
stalk and grain. Another point is tina
with many crops q rank growth O

of the plant is not practicable; in thi
case the free ammonia Is simply lost

An Excellent Combination

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFcRNIA Ere SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening Taxa
tive, cleansing the system effectualiy,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities OF the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
prom our Regular CORRESPONDENCE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-There
will be a marked difference in the re-
lations of tie President and the
Speaker of this House, and those
which existed during the last Con
grcss. One of the fisst things that
Col. Henderson did after settling
himself ana family in their Wash
ington quarters, was to call at the
White House, and hold long con-
ference with the President, with
whom he is and has been for years
in perfect accord, and these confer
ences are likely to be frequent as the
work of the session progresses.
While il is not true that the Presi-
dent and Speaker Reed were enc
mics, they were long ways from be-
ING in accord on some very impor-
tant questions, involving not only the
policy Of the government, but Of the
party of which they are both prom
inent members, and neither seemed
able to fcrCct that they had been
rivals both for the Speakerslip and
o. the presidency. What eft ct this
harmony j.. tween the President AID
the Speaker will have upon lcgis'a-
ton, remains to be seen, but tlat it
will make things plcasanter for all
conc rncd is certain.

Big Fire in Luray.

An extra Of Page Courier published
an account Of a big fire which laid part
OF that beautiful town in ashes last
Friday morning Noy. 18th. The fire is
said to have started in the upper story
OF the horse of Mr.. Walter Campbell.
The losses and insurance were approxi-
mated as follows

the contents; loss about $4,000, insur-
ance 5000 The Loudoun Mutual had

Mr.. BRYAN is so closely connected
with the free silver doctrine, that TO
nominate hin, would virtually resus-
citate the old issue and bring up
on the democratic party another de-
feat. With another candidate. the
issue would be anti-imperialism and
auti-expansion. The republicans are
anxious to { the free silver issue
over. They have all the necessary
ammunition on hand and would be
prepared to make an aggressive fight.
Upon the new issues, they would be
