WASTE MUST BE STOPPED.
Many Farmers Fail Because They Do
Not Practice Any Rational Sys-
tenn Of Fertilizing.

On the average the American farmer
wastes each year more than enough tC
keep his family. Enormous wastes are
going on IN many ways. but the greatest
one is the waste Of farm-fertility.
Preserve what fertility Is already in
the soil, and put more in IT, II may be
that some farmers do not know the value
Of manure. as some are giving II away
in order to get It out Of the way. Others
are burning the straw-stacks instead OF
using the straw for bedding. which would
increase the value Of the manure. know
this from observation. Farmers waste
much Of the value Of manure by putting
It IN piles in the bsrnyard, and letting II
take the weather for months II the
yard happens to be near creek OF pond,
great part Of the fertility finds its way
into II. and probably one-half Of its value
is lost
think that n some Of our farmers
could visit among the rural population
OF Germany and note their methods for
saving manure, most OF them would take
a lesson home with them. Most Of the
German farmers are successful, and
success seems TO be due to the care
ful saving and applying Of fertility.
Why cannot we stop this waste by
saving and applying all the manure. by
keeping more live stock, by cultivatinR
our soil properly and retaining the ele-
ments Of fertility. and by studying the
subject and applying the thoughts
gained? We must stop this waste II
We want our land to be kept in a high
state of fertllity.-E j Waterstripe, in

GIVE THE BOYS POULTRY.
One Way Of Inducing Children to
Work Contentedly and Hap
PLY on the Old Farm.

As usual. there Is loud complaint from
farmers that the children brought up on
the farm are getting uneasy and want to
try their wings elsewhere. This is not tC
be wondered at when these young people
hear and read Of what is going on in the
world. The monotony Of country life
seems unbearable TO them, especially
when from the farm they obtain only
plenty Of hard work. the food they eat
and the clothes the wear. True. one
may say that is about all anyone gets
out Of life, but II we can plan some way
by which the young people can make q
start for themselves they will be much
more oontented.
The Indianapolis News thinks that
poultry offers a way Of trying out the
feeling Of the young folks at small ex-
pense. Give them a chance to raise
poultry and have the proceeds for their
own use, and in year OF two they will
have become reconciled TO country life
and be willing TO make II their future or
they will have shown their utter lack OF
adaptability for It, in which case the
best thing for them and for the parent
IL TO let them leave the farm and take
up the work for which they are better
fitted. but don't lose your grasp on the
young people without first giving them
a chance to do for themselves on the
farm and show what is in them.

POETRY OF THE HEART.

A happy heart is better than a full
purse
He who hath most heart knows most
Of sorrow
A cheerful countenance betokens n
good heart.
No estate can make him rich that has
a poor heart
The hearts testimony is stronger than
thousand witnesses.
When you open your heart be always
ready TO shut It 10 again.
A glad heart seldom signs. but a sor-
rowful mouth often laughs.
The heart is the hidden treasure Of
man; the tongue is the gate to the treas
ure
There never was 2 heart truly great
and generous that was not also tender
and compassionate.-Chicago Post

London. March 21-A correspondent

follows:
According to information received
here. the reason the Vladivostok forts

Since the bombardment parties have
been working night and day to place
guns In position. The bombardment
destroyed the the Linevitch battery,
The Russian losse were slight because
the batteries were deserted.
THE same conditions prevail at
Vladivostok as at Port Arthur. The
