PROFITABLE WINTER WORK.
IN Always Plenty to be Done
During the Cold and stormy
Days of Winter.

1t would be impossible for me to
outline a plan of profitable winter
work that would be suited to all
farmers, since the environments and
requirements of various farms are so
different. / am never at a loss, how
ever, to find plenty of work for the
winter season that will prove profit
able at any season of the year, and
L have noticed that the farmer who
plans for work in the shelter usually
keeps his surroundings in good con-
dition. During the cold winter days
the stock need extra attention, and
l. the stables have not already been
made as warm as possible this matter
should be attended to first, as it is
better to keep up the animal heat by
providing warm stables than to have
the animals eat an extra amount of
food in order to keep from freezing.
Corn and oats are costly fuel. Then
there is h manure to be taken are
of. This can be drawn to the field
and distributed to advantage during
the winter months. On most lands
the n is better spread early.
Then there is usually some sod to be
turned, and all favorable days for
plowing may be protitably spent
in turning the sod. The freezing and
thawing will help pulverize the soil,
and the water from melting SHOWS
and spring rains will sink down into
the subsoil and remain there for the
use of the crops. When the summer
drought sets in this stored-up moist
ure will be drawn upon and the crop
will be much more able to resist
drought. As the work is done at the
farmers leisure, the blowing is more
likely to be well done than if left I'M
til the spring rush. But during the
winter there are likely to be many
days-perhaps half the time-that is
more profitably spent in the shelter.
1t is not profitable to work in the
fields during the cold stormy days.
Those days are better spent around
the tireside. If the day is not too
cold there may be machinery which
can be repaired under shelter, but if
this can not be done the time is bet
ter spent in reading and studying
agricultural books and papers and
planning for next years crop. This
time is by no means wasted; in fact
it may be made as profitable as the
days spent in the field. We need this
study o particularly at this sea-
son, as it will help us to arrange for a
better plan of managing our crops
during the neXt summer. l have
made it a practice to plan for a cer-
tain amount of agricultural reading
each year. undertake to study a sub
,ject and limit the time in which this
work is to be done. Then when this
is complete l take up some other
subject pertaining to agriculture, and
this, with the agricultural papers that
come to my desk, gives me plenty of
reading matter to profitably occupy
my spare moments.-A. j. Legg, in
Agricultural Epitomist.

CROP FERTILIZATION.
A Study I'm the Systematic Use OF
Crop Fertilizers by the
:. Progressive Farmer.

We all understand that plant food,
h a is, the vital substance of ma
nures and fertilizers, is composed of
three materials or elements-potash,
nitrogen and phosphoric acid; also,
we know that these three elements
must he used in quantities that bear
a certain reference to each other. We
know that a crop may require GER
tain amounts of nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid, and also If one-half
OF the potash be taken away, though
even the nitrogen and iphosphoric
acid be doubled, the resulting crop
will be only a half crop or less. That
is, every pound of nitrogen used by
plants in their growth must be ac-
companied at the same time by Ger
tain amounts of potash and phos-
phoric acid. This being true, a very
important matter is proper compost
ton of and fertilizers; that
Is, b correct proportioning of the
plant food elements for any partic-
ular crop.
The actual plant food needs of
crops is very clearly shown by the
chemical analysis of the crop. In this
we must take the whole crop, as
plant food is just as necessary for the
stalks and straw as for the salable
portions tf the crop, and the one can
not be grown without the other.
Reckoned in this sense, we give here
with the actual plant f. cd contained
IN good crops per acre, of the more
widely cultivated plants:

about the good old days and intimat-

teriorating, or becoming a thing of the.
remote past. There were giants in
those days, and there are giants in
these days also"
BY these reflections the writer was
reminded of a story told not long ago
to the narrator, by Senator Clark, of
Wyoming. He said: u Visited Senator
Davis, of Minnesota, one morning in
the room of the committee on foreign
relations to obtain some information
from that lovable statesman, and he
gave me freely of his knowledge, but
added: You'd better wait for Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, who is to be here
this morning. He knows more about
this subject than | do. In fact, he
knows more about more things than
any member of the senate. Of this fact
Will convince you
Senator Davis then took a volume of
an encyclopedia from the shelf, opened
it at random and pointed to a para
graph about an obscure island in the
Pacific ocean,. He said that after I
had obtained exhaustive information

Phos-

1t VIII be noticed that there is a
wide variation in the total amounts of
plant food, due to the fact that some
OF these crops produce an acre yield
many times that of others. Also, all
crops of the clover family are omit
ted, as they store up atmospheric nj
trogen, and therefore contain plant
food over and above that actually
necessary for theM' growth. On this
very account, fertilizers contain less
nitrogen than the crops they are in
tended to grow, as compared with the
potash and phosphoric acid, simply
because the clover is meant to sup
ply rather cheaply too, more or less
plant food nitrogen. There is M
more point to take into considera-
ton. Phosphoric acid when applied
to the soil very quickly takes insolu-
bic forms, which means in effect, that
it has become largely unavailable as
plant food. On this account, the
amount actually contained in the
crop is doubled in judging a fertilizer
for same, this as a rough sort of COM
pensation for this tendency towards
taking insoluble forms. 1t is not very
accurate, but it is all we haye, and it's
error in all probability is on the safe
side.

table, and doubling the phosphorie.

phoric acid needs about as follows:

Farmers Waking Up.

Farmers are beginning to wake up
to the Importance of keeping their
soil fertile. They have found out that
they can lot go on indefinitely taking
crops from their land and returning
nothing to it. AS a result of this
more and more are rotating their
crops, seeding Down more land to
clover, r keeping more stock to
produce more fertilizers, and are
learning that instead of their land
wearing out and the soil becoming ex-
hausted, that they can improve the
fertility of their land and raise heav-
Ter crops with less labor, and make
more than they could under the old
system of robbing the land.-Midland

To Prevent Called Shoulders.

Called shoulders are very common
in the spring when the horses are
first put to work, and are easier pre-
vented than cured, especially if the
animal is kept at work. 1t is very
important to see that the collars and
harness fit properly; then the collars
should be kept clean; keeping the col
lars well oiled will be a help. Wash
the shoulders at noon and night with
soft water after removing the har-
ness. When the teams are stopped
for a rest in the field, pull the csYars
away from the horses shoulders; in
this way gals may generally be pre-
vented.-Midland Farmer.

got you in debt? Was it not raising
cotton? Yea, verify. And raising cot
ton will keep you in debt.
Again, we are met with the argu-
ment that we must plant cotton be-
cause 1T is the only crop that we can
get credit on. And we must have help
to make a crop.
Here it is again. This is the crop
that keeps you in debt because you
can mortgage it and eat it up before
you gather and deliver it. When you
quit cotton you will not need to go
IN debt or give mortgages. Leave off
or greatly reduce the cotton crop
this year.-Southern C~ultivator.

EARRINGS WORN FOR AGES.
OF All Ornaments Won by Human
Beings, They Are Oldest Re-
corded in History.

Although few women in recent years
have been wearing earrings, the fash
ion still survives, and at functions of
select society pendants of brilliants
are still frequently seen. Of all the
ornaments used by human beings ear
rings are probably the oldest so far as
historical research has been able to
determine. They date from the remot-
est antiquity, the earliest mention of
them being in Genesis in the time of
Jacob, about 1882 &C. This antiquity
has been confirmed by the finding of
costly and elaborate specimens in the
Troad by DR.. Schliemann, in Etruria
by Castellani and in Anglo-Saxon re-
mains in England. Their use at first
was not ornamental, but superstitious,
states the Chicago Chronicle.

More Intellectual Giants In United
States Senate To-Day Than Ever
Before - The Case
Proved.
Especial Washington Letter.

XIV HAD only been here two days,
when it became very apparent
to me that the statehood bill
would not be passed." said Mr.. Frank
IL. Greer, OF Guthrie, Okla:
You cannot imagine the feverish
expectation with which all of our peo-
pie have been reading the press DIS
patches concerning the legislative Sit
uation on that matter of statehood. 1T
has been talked of in church and Sun
day school, as well as in public schools
and all public places. Our little chill
dren know that our people are anxious
for their rights of citizenship, and are
taught what it all means to us.
Il have been greatly impressed with
the United States senate" continued
this observant business mar of the
southwest. The more | have seen of
that BODY the more of an optimist L
have become, and L do not long for
the good old days. of which so many
modern pessimists speak; and speak
thoughtlessly as well as imperiously
and dogmatically.
Ever since the organization of the
federal government the senate has
been composed of great men. OF every
decade we may emphatically say:
There were giants in those days But
that should not carry with it the i'm
plication that there are not giants in
these days also. Glance over them with
hasty memory, and take up the men
whose names stand out like promon-
tories. John Quincy Adams, in the
house of representatives, ~hammering
away continuously and diligently until
he secured recognition of the right of
petition.
John c. Calhoun was the brightest
intellect Of his day oRone thing, the
right of secession; the extreme con
clusion of the doctrine of state SOW
ereignty. He was a specialist. Daniel
Webster is eminent both as an orator
and d constitutional lawyer,another
specialist. Henry Clay you think of
as the great COMPROMISED, another
specialist. Justin S. Morrill,, the pro-
moter of the tariff act of the civil war,
q 0PNN4"A4SI' ochh ~ LoSuhs Tx
mouthpiece of the veterans of the
union armies, another specialist. Sen
ator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, famous
as opponent Of reconstruction, another
specialist.
There are scores of others, all great
men, but these names come up first in
memory. Now look at our modern
senate. Where are the specialists? |
cannot see even one. They are all big,
b~road-minded men; scholars, orators,
lawyers, constitutional lawyers, inter-
national lawyers. Listen to them in
debate, and their range of knowledge
covers every field of investigation and
research. Specialists are not broad
men, however great they may be in
their particular fields.
Il do not believe there ever was in
the senate a greater orator than
Spooner, of Wisconsin, nor a better
%reasoner. Senator Depew, of New
York, is one of the most pleasing speak
ers ever seen in the senate or on any
platform or in any forum. These men
speak readily on all subjects, and their
audiences are not only entertained, but
instructed.

There was no room to spare in the

and the reports Of state work. 1t
was generally conceded that John H.

name he received an ovation. After
the selection President Chapman was
introduced and thanked the delegates

missioner Strong and his case was
set for the next term of the United
States court. His bonds of $1,000 with
Senator Ankeny and Asa LeGrOW as
SuretieS were continued.
The fact that Smith preferred to
waive his preliminary caused but lit
tie surprise, as it was openly stated
on the streets last night that the ma
chine leaders did not care to have
the case aired in open court at this
time. two days before election. An
other good and sufficient reason also
cropped out is it is alleged for a CON

Another significant feature is the
fact that Senator Ankeny furnished
