The farmers and dairymen of the
United States in the passage of the law
taxing colored oleomargarine, and
much greater victory in the Supreme
Courts decision making the use of
palm oil an evasion of the law and
subjecting the material to the ten
cent tax But the fight is by no means
ended, and the farmers will have to
meet the combined forces of the oleo
men in the next Congress, for there
will be a tremendous effort to get the
law repealed, as the oleo men know
that they can not sell oleo to any ex-
tent for just what it is, and 4 IL they
can not pass their article off for butter
there is an end to the trade. Hence
the farmers must keep up the fight
and let their representatives know
that the man who votes for the re-
peal of that law will lose the support
of the farmers in his district in the
future. Votes will always count
against dollars when the Congress
men know that the voters are IN
earnest They contend for the pass
age of the law and they will count
against it's repeal. The oieo men de-
clare that their business has been
practically killed by the law taxing
the colored article. This is plain
admission that the life of the business
depended upon a fraud and that they
can not palm off the article for but
ter when not colored to initiate 1T.
The poor man does not want 'the
poor mans butter" when he knows
just what it is, and the rich packers
can not fool him into buying it unless
il is colored to look like butter. If
the law has killed the manufacture t
is well, for the law should kill frauds
of all sorts. But there will be a hard
fight against the law this winter. and
the farmers ana dairymen, having
won the first heat, should stand pat"
and keep the law on the statute books.

great value as a retainer of moisture
in the soil for the solution of plant
food in dry weather. But there is
further value in the humus. Many of
our Soils especially those of clayeY
nature, have a great store of potash IN
them. But as it is found in soils the
potash is to a great extent entirely In
soluble in water or becomes very
slowly available through the action OF
the carbonic acid in the rain water
when the soil is poorly supplied with
humus But where the humus is
abundant there is an increase in the
soil of carbon dioxide or carbonic
acid, the great decomposer of nature.
This carbon dioxide dissolves in the
soil water and acts on the insolu-
BILE potash as pure water can not, and
produces carbonates which act on the
silicate of potash in the soil. and
enables plants, through the solvent
power that the roots themselves pos
sess, TO get the potash aided by the
humic acids. Then, too, the benefi-
cent bacteria that work in organic
decay bring other things into avail
ability that are commonly plentiful IN
the SOIL such as sulphur and iron as
we'll as the nitrogen that the organic
matter contains. which is changed
by bacteria into nitrates that plants
can use, and all through the agency
of the bacteria, for whose activity
a plentiful supply of organic matter
is essential. Lime, too, has its best
effect in a soil we'll supplied with hu-
mus, not only in keeping the soil
sweet for the bacteria which can not
abide sour soil. but in promoting
their activity in other ways. Car
bon is essential to the structure or
plants Green plants get this through
the action of the green matter in their
leaves on the carbon dioxide in the air,
but the minute bacteria in the soil
which have not green matter, have the
power that no green plant has. They
can take the carbon needed for their
growth directly from the carbonate
of lime. Hence judicious lining, In
connection with the accumulation OF
organic decay in the soil, can be made
of great value to the farmer, while
injudicious lining will often lead che
former astray and deplete his soil If
he supposes from the first effects OF
lime on his soil that lime is fertilizer
and will make his soil rich without
anything else.

January is near at hand, and the
short courses in agriculture and dairy
ing at the various colleges Will soon
be open. Nothing that the colleges
have ever done has put so much life
into their agricultural departments as
courses were first inaugurated the
leading agricultural colleges had
hardly a corporaPs guard of students
in their agricultural course. The
Pennsylvania State College, origin
ally a farm school had run down, we
believe, to about half a dozen agrIcul-
tural students. Wisconsin had no
more, if as many. 1t was necessary to
dc something in order that the Pro-
lessor of Agriculture might have
something to do. With the short
course came the revival. Young men
soon found that there was really
something to be learned , and some OF
the short course men entered for the
regular course. Then boards and fac
uIties walked up to the fact that a SIN
gle member of the faculty, styled the
Professor of Agriculture, had the big
gest job on his hands of anyone. a job
so great that no one man could fully
accomplish it. 1t dawned on them that
no one man could be fully an expert
in half a dozen lines of work, and
that specialists were needed in each
particular line. So, little by little, the
agricultural faculty has grown, each
section of the work demanding the
whole attention of an expert in that
particular speciality. And now the
winter courses, which were the enter
ing wedge to open the closed doors of
agricultural science, are themselves
benefiting by what they have caused
and by reason of the more numerous
specialists the short courses now ac-
complish more than the long ones did
when one man was thought enough
for the entire subject And there is
even in the short course tendency
to specialize, and not to attempt too
much. The first specialization was the
dairy school of ten weeks, and now
N this there is a further specializa-
zion, for the Ohio College offers a ten
days school in butter making solely
for farmers wives and daughters
Then, too, the extension is further car
ried out by summer schools for the
teachers of the rural schools so that
they may be prepared to take up the
work of nature study and elementary
soil culture. There is nothing which
a farmer boy or farmer man can do
during the winter months that Will
broaden his ideas in regard to his
occupation more than to take q
course during the winter at his State
College. There is hardly a College OF
Agriculture in any of the States which
does not now offer a winter short
course Think of this and write to

close second in this respect. Success

of fine quality. Large enough ut not

Manure Losses.

Now that the winter feeding has
begun it is we'll to call attention again
10 the facts that were demonstrated
at the Pennsylvania Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station a year or more ago.
The common practice of throwing
manure out all winter to lie in piles
and often under the drip of the stable
caves, has been so often condemned
that III seems to us that only the gross
est care lessness and waStefulneSs
makes farmers, or rather men VINO
mismanage a farm do anything or
the sort. We have often said that the
best way to save manure is to haul it
out onG spread it on the land as fast
as made. But this is seldom practi-
cable in the winter in the colder sec
tionS of the country. Where cattle
are fed in general enclosure the
best way is to provide plenty of bed
ding and then let them keep the ma
nure trauped down. 1t was found
by experiment. that manure kept in
this way suffered little loss of its fer
(. tilizing constituents though less than
Atwotfifths of the dry matter of feed
and bedding was recovered in the ma
nure. Manure that was thrown out
and kept in a covered shed lost one
third of its nitrogen, one-fifth OF Its
potash and one-seventh of its phos-
phoric acid. Only one-third of the
recovered in the manure The pot
ash and phosphoric acid probably es-
capped by seepage of the liquid ma
nure into the clay bottom. The nitro
gen was volatilized and escaped into
the air in the form of carbonate OF
ammonia. The money value of the
fertilizing constituents lost in the COW
cred shed as compared with manure
left to be tramped down was equiv
alent to $3.50 for each steer fed for
six months. Hence it was found that
if there is a tight floor and abundant
bedding that can be tramped into a
compact mass, the manure loses very
little. if any. of it's fertilizng value sc
long as the animals remain on it
Therefore this method is very mucn
superior to the piling IN covered
she'd But when this tramped manure
is taken out do not pile it to heat and
waste, but haul it at once to the field
where plants are waiting for it. The
whole process depends on the com
plete tramping to exclude the air and
to prevent the carbOnation of the am
monia But wherever it is practicable
we would still haul out and spread the
manure as fast as made, for there is
less loss of its value lying spread on
the land than in any other way. II
the potash and phosphoric acid leach
out they will be absorbed and re-
tanned by the soil plants call fol
them, and as there is no fermentation
the nitrogen will be retained in the
organic matter until nitrifcation takes
place after it is buried in the soil. We
believe that there will be more loss OF
fertiliZing matters in a covered shed
than if the manure is spread out flat
in the open barnyard TO keep cold ant
wet, but either way is bad practice.
