EXPENSIVE SUBSCRIPTION

1t may be of interest to our brother
publishers, says the Estherville DEM
ocrat, to learn that the Democrat has
just won lawsuit in which subscri-
Der who had taken the paper for five
years absolutely refused TO pay for it.
The case was commenced early last
fall and carted around from one JUS
tice to another until it finally landed
in Justice Larson's court at Walling-
ford. Bv agreement the case was
brought before Justice Davidson in
this city and the court decided that
the defendant was liable for the sub
scription price of the paper, which
was ST. so, and to pay all costs of the
case, which amounted to over $50.

Phosphate Rock and Rarnyard


The Ohio station has just completed
some experiments along the line Of
utilizing barnyard manure to the
greatest possible extent. Open yard
and stall manure were used on corn;
oats, wheat, clover and timothy The
manure from the open yard had been
allowed to undergo the conditions that
exist on most Ohio farms. 1t was
dried by the wind, leached by the rain
and dried by the sun. This means
losses to the fertility originally in it.
In a second test manure was also
taken from open yards, but it had
previously been mixed with ground
acid phosphate rock to assist it to re.
tain it's fertilizing qualities. The re.
suits showed that the stall manure
was very greatly superior to tue 9th.
er, which had been exposed to the
elements. The treatment with ground
phosphate rock showed that the open
yard manure had to very consider.
able extent retained it's ammonia. The
experimenters suggest that it would
be we'll to use the acid phosphate rock
ground fine as an absorbent in the
stables, so that it may be mixed with
the manure in its fresh state.

First sprayipos Of the Apple.
The practice Of spraying trees and
shrubs when they are dormant Is be-
coming widespread. It has been rec
ognized that in this way many of
the spores Of fungi are killed before
they can do harm by reproducing
themselves in the fruit, leaves or the
tree. Just what efficacy there Is in
winter spraying we do not yet know,
but it is believed that much good re-
suits. Winter spraying is inclusive
Of that done at any time before the
buds open, even late in March while
the buds are swelling. Even many
people that are in doubt about the
necessity of spraying trees when dor
mant, yet follow the practice, to be
on the safe side. It is certain that
If, as some have supposed, the spores
OF the apple scab fungus lives over in
the bark of the tree or on rubbish on
the ground, spraying will do good.
The man that is prepared to spray
late in the winter is in position to
be prompt with the same work later;
and it Is promptness that is neces-
sary. Some men do not spray till a
few days after they should have COM
pleted the work, and the pests for
which they sprayed get the upper
hand and keep it. The first spraying
OF the apple should be while the tree
is dormant. This is likely to check
the apple scab. If this spraying is
omitted, the first one should be given
when the leaf buds are open and be.
fore the flower buds expand. This
spraying should be with Bordeaux
mixture, for the scab. If the bud
worm has been prevalent in the
neighborhood, spray with Paris
green as soon as the leaf tips appear
in the buds. This treatment will also
check the case-bearer. If the apple
trees are affected by San Jose scale,
then spray with whale oil soap-two
pounds to gallon of water, when
trees are dormant, or uso crude pc.
troleum at the rate of Is per cent, or
kerosene in the proportion of one to
five of water. Apply the soap or pc
troleum before the buds start.
