Applying Farmyard Manure.

According TO James Mctradyean. an
experiment conducted at the Ottawa
experiment farm and covering a period
u years indicated that an equal
weigh, OF fresh stable manure and OF
Wei rotted manure were of practically
the same value for application to ali
the principal crops. Practically the
same results have thus far been OBJ
tanned al that station. Mr.. McFadyean
lays:
1T Is a great mistake to believe that
manure wastes to any extent when
spread upon the land. Unless there IS
considerable fermentation. there viii
very little OF the valuable elements es-
cape by evaporation. l do not recon-
nerd too heavy an application at one
time. We seek to have it divided. 50

WHEN THE CAT CAME BACK.

There is trouble and turmoil in the
democratic camp which, spelled out in
capital letters. gives Mr. Bryan's full
name. Mr.. Bryan's reference to bunco
steering politics and his declaration
that no one can predict when the
coinage phase of the money question
Will become acute, has upset the cali
! culations of those democratic leaders
Mr.. Bryan in reiSement among his prize
cattle on his farm. Mr.. Bryan in Lin
coin, however, proves very different
factor than Mr.. Bryan in Europe.
When the cats away the mice played.
But the cat came back.
Mr.. Bryan is not bent upon demo-
cratic success unless it carries with it
self respect and the integrity of party
convictions. He looks back to the
platform of 1896 as a democratic
structure not be given to the flames
OF partisan greed for success, but to be
Z
construction of a new one. Perhaps
the provident habits learned upon the
farm has somewhat to do with his de-
sire to save the pieces, but the eastern
democracy will scarcely take this view.
It Is too much that the Cleveland
Hill Gorman-et al democracy should
ask Mr. Bryan's unqualified support
Tor reunited democracy based on
principles of finance utterly at variance
with Mr.. Bryan's theories. 1t Is too
much to require him to eliminate him-
Self from democratic councils or stul-
fifty himself by complete surrender.
They should have known Mr.. Bryan
better. Doubtless the remembrance OF
defeat at the hands of the eastern
democracy still rankles behind his ex-
pansive shirt front, bu, he is entirely
logical ard consistent when he refuses
Tor himself and his large following of
western democrats, to lay their princi-
pies on the altar of democratic sue

This averages sso.3s per man woman

In 1879 the amount in circulation was
but sS16,0oo.0o0. AS late as 1900 the
circulation per citizen was but s25.73.
Today the gold in use is s62S,ooooo0
against ss6.oo0.ooO quarter of cen
fury ago. In that length of time the
volume of gold certificates has grown
grown from S2l,0oo,000 to s421,o00 600
Increase has been general and large in
all kinds of money excep, national bank
notes, which since 1879 have grown
only from s3i4,0oo.0o0 to $4,000 600
When the volume OF substitutes for
money such as checks, money orders,
express orders. etc.--is considered, the
increase of the quantity OF gold and
silver IN use is very striking.

Farm Work BY Signs.

That some time notions about
farming prevail yet in many sections,
and even in the states where advanced
agriculture" is conspicuous, is well
proved by the following account of the
quaint customs that find favor yet In
some parts of Seneca county, New
York. which is from the Rochester
Post Express:
THE farmers of the township of Fay
cite, adjoining Waterloo, are largely Of
Pennsylvania Dutch origin. They are
hardy and thrifty race. and for gen
eral intelligence compare favorably with
their neighbors of Anglo Saxon stock.
They are, however. full of the quaint
superstitlons and rural folklore of their
forefathers. and many interesting anec-
dotes are told by Fayette people illus
trating the length to which the good
Dutch yeoinanry go in their devotion TO
the signs in the conduct of their farms
and the routine of their lives.

venerated tho In a different way, as
they We're by their yellow-haired an

land. but in all the minute concerns of
their daily lives the signs must be
right before anything is done, or-'woe

done in the increase of the moon, or,
by the same token, it will fade AMY
