The most essential portion Of tn q
garien work is the making Of be sci
as fine as possible. The manure
should bs evenly spread over the
ground and then well incorporated
with the soil. This is done with the
harrow in large gardens, but the spade,
hoe and rake are used on small plots.
One mistake made with gardens is in
using manure that is not well decom-
posed. The seeds Of vegetables are
very small, and where the manure is
coarse and containing portions of corn
stalks, many of the seeds are covered
IN a manner to destroy them. When
the rake is used the litter remaining
on The surface should be rakod off and
thrown back on the manure heap. An
other advantage in using fine and
thoroughly decomposed manure is that
the seeds Of weeds and grasses are
usually destroyed during the process
OF decomposition, and less work will
thus be required in the g. rden. The
blowing or spsding should be deep,
which will be partial projection
against drought, and the spaces be- |
tween the rows should be heed after
every rain, which net only destroys
weeds but serves to prevent loss of
moisture from tle soil.
1t is not wise farming to attempt to
make an impoverished farm produce
hcary crops, Is the land will become
poorer every year unless something is
put on the land to compensate for loss
With po'r farm one should expect to
incur loss for year or two. Take
time and grow green crops to be

and manure, selling nothing off the

THE sphere In which intercollegiate

they have something to gain from vic

the rules which spectators cannot see,

more gate money is received. Even the

ment," said Governor Andrew D. Lee,
Of South Dakota, If the facts set forth
in Ex-Consul Macrum's open letter is
sued to the American people are found
to be correct.
This action Of the British authori-
ties at Durham in tampering with mail
matter addressed to Mr.. Macrum is
damnable." the governor continued,
and an outrage against the rights OF
neutral powers. II the facts as stated
in that letter are true, the American
government instantly should call Great
Britain to severe account. That may
mean another war on our hands. I
know, but war is preferable to national
dishonOr The spectacle OF an Ameri-
can citizen, be he in private or public
life, having to sit idly by and have his
mail opened by an official Of foreign
power, is too humiliatlng for my blood
to stand"
Almost equally as radical comments
were made by several of the leaders OF
the antitrust conference, who were
shown the dispatches from Washington
setting forth the experiences Of the ex-
consul. All were emphatic in saying
that the rights Of citizens Of neutral
powers should be protected and that
England should be condemned strongly
for her high-handed methods.

A REMARKABLY CASE.
A New Jersey Man Lives With Great
Hole in His Skull.

SOMERYILLE. n. j., Feb. 15.-The
case Of Frederick Barto. an old resident
Of this place. who has lived for five
days with the front Of his skull torn
away and fracture at the base of his
skull. continues to excite the wonder
OF the physicians here. Barto's tenn
perature has remained normal and he
is conscious and talks intelligently. A
strange feature Of Barto case is that
before his accident he was a paraly-
tic with a clouded mind. Now his men
tai condition is greatly improved.
A few weeks ago Barto returned from
Newark hospital. where he had been
under treatment for year. He moved
around with a crutch and a cane. Last
Saturday night there was disturbance
at his home over a young man who
was visiting his daughter. Miss Barto
and the young man left the house, and
Barto went to the tracks of the New
Jersey Central railroad in search Of
them. An east-bound freight train
bore down upon him. He attempted
to jump out Of the way. but fell. The
footstep at the side OF the pilot of the
locomotive buried itself in his skull and
he was dragged $50 feet There was
an aperture six inches in length and
two inches wide in Barto's skull when
he was picked up. There is a bare
chance of his recovery.
