Regarding the Poor Farm Deal

Regarding the Poor Farm Deal.
The Missouri Valley correspondent
of the Council Bluffs Nonpareil sends
his paper the following regarding the
poor farm deal recently contaminated
in Harrison County and the founda-
ton of the roar about the Board of
Supervisors:
Missouri Valley, March 9.-The land
near here which has been purchased
by the board of supervisors, for poor
farm, cost the county $5S per acre. 1t
has been intimated by certain parties
that the price paid was too great, but
Hon. j. e. kirkwood of this city
offers to buy the land in question and
pay $50 an acre for it. This being 50
per acre more than the county paid
for it, it ought to convince everyone
that the supervisors paid only the
market price.

FERTILITY OF SOIL.
Mnnurins Is the Best Way to
Maintain 1t.

The good business man does not per-
NIT his stock in trade to depreciate by
neglect or careless handling; neither
will a thrifty farmer let his land run
down. II the farm is to be paying
one, the fertility of the soil must never
be lost sight of. Our grandfathers
and fathers practiced enriching their
farms by scattering the manure from
the barn and barnyard. From actual
experience, without knowing the cause,
they knew that profitable crops OF
grain followed where clover sod had
been plowed under.
Commercial fertilizers were used to
some extent, but they were expen-
sive and little was known regarding
the varying needs of different soils
and crops.
The farmer of to-day has the bene-
fit of all the fertilizer Investigations
made by the various state experiment
stations. The experts of these sta.
tons, realizing the great need there
is for knowledge of soil fertility, have
given this subject exhaustive study.
LIZ SoOJSSV " green 1uduuT1LS
should be most carefully studied by
farmers.
T. B. Terry attributes to blowing
under heavy coats of green clover the
high degrees of fertility of his farm.
This method enables the farmer to
speedily add humus to the land. A
crop of COW peas will in a few months
be ready to plow under for a grain
crop to follow.
If your land is not yielding the re-
turn it should try green manuring as
fertilizer. Sow COW peas. If sown
early first crop may be harvested
and second one sown to pillow under
rye crop may be sown in the late
fall which will furnish some late fall
and winter pasture. The rye will act
as winter cover and will prevent the
teaching of the land. The advantage
of rye covering is Units saving of fer.
tlity. The thrifty farmer will study
every phase of this problem. There
are times when commercial fertilizers
are profitable, but above all will the
farmer study how to make the farm
produce its own plant food. = Rural

New York rose to the occasion;
and that's how it happens that the
"White Door of The Ghetto" will
open to receive Miss Gould, as it has
opened to so many who were uncer-
tain where the next days bread was
to come from. She plans to stay one
week, to familiarize herself with the
life of the Gospel Settlement House
there, and learn the needs of the
people.
There are no people in New York
whose young folks show more rapid
improvement than these same ex-sub-
jects of the car. They are not al
ways strong physically; too many
are marked with the fatal signs of
She consumptive. But the gymnasi-
ums and the baths, the common-sense
lessons in the value of fresh air and
exercise, the plays and games, make
even here wonderful improvement.
What is most noticeable about girls
and boys alike is their earnestness.
They are not SO merry as other chill
dren. They laugh less often; their
great, dark, serious eyes, often very
beautiful, look straight out at the
problems that have been with them
from babyhood. But they are IA
mously quick scholars in the public
schools, giving no trouble as to disci-
pine, and very quickly they pick up
the essentials of the American spirit.
These are the neighbors whom Miss
Gould will have during her weeks
stay in the slums.

Elder bark scraped off and fried
in fresh lard or mutton tallow makes
salve that will cure burns and
sores.
For earache dissolve asafetida in
water. Warm few drops and drop
into the ear, then cork the ear with
wool.
For catarrh take one-half ounce
of borax, and one ounce of loaf supar
pulverized. Mix and snuff five or six
times a day.
For cabbage worms dissolve one
half teaspoonful of saltpeter in one
quart water. Sprinkle on the cab
bage in the cool of the day.
For roup in chickens mix together
half ounce of carbolic acid, one
ounce of sweet oil, and one ounce of
Jamaica ginger. Swab out the throat
two or three times day, confine the

food. Put iron into the drinking wa

because the boys resented the impli-

because grown-up roughs of the dis

that anybody will stone Miss Gould's

Bishop Potter could not have held his

Bishop Potter is an excellent busi-

with enormous weight. AS he never
