Keeping Up Soil Fertility.

The FIRST thing in keeping up fertIl-
itS is the saving and proper applica-
t1on of manure. TAptsands of farmers
are letting the manure waste in their
barnyaras, and are using commercial
fertilizers. Fertility can be kept up III
this way, but a lack Of huFaus will
soon follow. Soil deficient in humus
will dry out In dry weather and seed
ing ct clover will be next to impossi-
bic. Do not flatter yourselves with the
Idea that you can keep up your fertil-
ity on commercial manures alone.
You must save and use all your farm
manure, Spread the manure on the
higher portions of the field. Save
everything. Do not let thing go to
waste, but put it On the land. 1t
makes little difference when you put it
on, oaly see that it goes on.
Plow under all the clover you can.
Rye will do to plow under very we'll.
Any green crop will answer. Do not
let the ground lie bare during fall and
winter. Sow your corn stubble to rye.
This can be done attAe last cultivation.
1t will not only cave fertility by the
roots taking up fertility .nd storing it
in the plant, so as to be available for
the next crop to follow. but 1t will
make excellent pasture for your sheep
anu hogs during the fall and far into
the winter.
Do not hesitate to Graw the manure
as fast as made during the winter, and
spread as fast as drawn. If your land
is too billy this may not be the best
plan provided you have good way to
save the manure at the barn. But as
the manure is usually kept around
barns, the loss from washing down the
hills will be no greater than the loss
around tho barns. Manure drawn out
in winter saves that much from the
springs work. Often in the spring
the ground is soft, and I have seen
ground injured as much by the tramp
ling and cutting up by the wheels as
the manure did good.
A wise rotation Of crops is also
necessary in keeping up fertility. No
rotation should be longer than four
years. Three years will be better.
But a four-year rotation will do very
we'll provided clover is given an i'm
portant place.. n. Cowdry, in Amer

Memory and Tact Failed.

an old friend from out CT town, prob

band, and I could not recall his name.
1t was agonizing. However, he must
not feel lack of welcome, so greeted
him warmly, shook hands and invited
him to be seated. l said was de-

him speak lest he discover what hyp-

Finally he managed to say:
"'I am afraid you don't know who I

 THE PHILIPPINES
The Civil Service Commission is Now Ready to Receive
 Applications

Washington March 16.-The civil ser vice commission today announced that 1t is now ready ot receive application and head examinations for the government service in the Philippines.

The cost of living in Manila it is shown, is somewhat higher than in the United States The govern ment however, is contemplating the erec- tion of a number of houses for the use of civilian employees, for which the rentals will be moderate, and stores similar to the army commissary stores, will be es- tablished, from which employees prob ably will be able to purchase necessary supplies at about 10 per cent above tho cost to the government

WASHINGTON DOES NOT
 THINK IT SERIOUS

Washington, March 16.-The cable repArts from Tien Tsin, indicating that a collision between the British and Rus sian forces Is imminent, is not regarded in a serious light in the diplomatic circles most concerned in the issue involved.
 It is said in these quarters that It re- lates to comparatively minor concessions, which are not of character to strain the relations between the governments. So far, the matter has not assumed an international aspect in the sense Of be- ing communicated to any of the embas- sies here.
 A cablegram was received at the State Department today from MT. Rockhill, our special commissioner at Pekiu, asking for instructions upon some points which have been made during the negotiations relative to the subjects of indemnity and punishments. The commissioner, how ever, made no reference to what is de- scrfbed as the critical state of affairs at Tien Tsin, resulting from the clash of in terests between the British and Russians in that quarter.
