Home.Nrixed Fertilizer..

There is no question but that the in
gradients for fertilizers can be more
cheaply bought and the mixing done at
home than TO buy the fertilizer already
mixed; but whether it will pay de
ponds upon several things. If one
knows pretty well what the crops he
proposes to grow need and understands
something about the home mixing of
fertilizers, having the necessary help
to do the work, it then pays, provided
one also has the necessary cash TO pay
for the material
Then, again. there is probably a
greater profit in the low-grade fertiliz-
ers than in the high-grade article, and
hence a corresponding profit; so it fol-
lows that the saving would be greater
in mixing the lowgrade or more com
plete fertilizers. They are also easier
10 max, the ammonia per cent being
smaller and less likely TO escape in the
mixing AS a matter of fact, ii is one
of those things which must be largely
determined by the farmer to suit his
own conditions yet, on the other hand,
is one of the things that it will pay TO
experiment with to greater or less

The MANURE spreader.

This department is not for the pur-
pose of advertising tools or nipple
ments, and no such article that is sold
is ever mentioned by the manufacture
er's name. There are implements and
conyeniences, however. made by differ
ent manufacturers which should find a
place on every farm, and one of them
is the manure-spreader, of which there
are several good makes.
No one can appreciate the value of
this implement until he has used it.
1t is not only a labor-saver, but it
spreads the manure in any quantity
desired, and spreads it evenly. All Of
its operations are controlled from the
drivers seat The work of manure
spreading should be in operation from
now on more or less through the win
ter, and no farmer can make a better
investment than to have this imple-
ment. 1t will give him added years Of
life in The labor it will save him, and
enable him to grow better crops.

While the Buff Plymouth Rock is no

has proved itself better than the white

become very popular AS practical

the barred, for with us it has shown
some weaknesses that the older strain
does not have. Unjust not be inferred,
however, that this is likely to be the
case with all of them, for many breed
ers consider them even better than
the barred. They are similar in size

CHAMBER DEPLORES
MR.. BORUP'O DEATH
Pays Tribute to His Public Spirit and
Personal Qualities.

The following resolutions on the death
OF Theodor Borup were yesterday adopt
ed by the Chamber of Commerce:
In the death of Theodor Borup the
Chamber of Commerce realizes the loss
to the city of st. Paul. not only of that
rapidly decreasing band of pioneers to
whose early efforts are due the present
commercial position of this city and state,
but also Of one who during his life was
an earnest and public-spirited citizen of
this community with which his life has
been closely identified for the past quar-
ter century.
He took a wide and intelligent interest
In all matters affecting the welfare of
st. Paul. and realizing the secret Of true
progress was ever IN touch with the
younger generation.
But it was his stanch integrity and I'M
compromising honesty that won the trust
OF his business associates and the affec-
ton of his many friends, and it seems
fitting In view of the loss sustained by
the. community in the death of a man of
such qualities that tribute of regret and
esteem should be paid his memory

Want BUILDING LINE
ON WEST SIDE BLUFF
Grand View Heights Improve
ment Association Has Plan
TO Establish 1t.

If the Grand View Heights Improve
ment society succeeds in the plan of es-
tablishing a building line on a number of
streets it viii have taught new lesson.
The district covered by the association is
the bluff section Of the West Side.
The plan proposed Is somewhat COM
plicated, but the members of the organi-
zation, to the number of almost hum
dred, who met in the annex school room,
Ohio and George streets, last evening, ex-
pressed the belief that 1t is feasible. There
is a provision in the charter that allows
property owners to petition the city clerk,
who Is authorized to appoint a commits
sion, which in turn has the power to take
IN easement Of the proposed frontage, thus
making it impossible to build nearer the
street than the line marked out. The
plan rs to have all houses built hereafter
on an exact line.~ On some streets it was
said that it would be possible to set the
houses back as far as forty feet, while
on others twenty feet would be sufficient.
After a lengthy discussion, during which
weeds and back yards received considera-
ton, it was decided to invite the women
to form branch of the civic league and
take charge of this phase of improvement.
F. L. Barrett suggested that a prize be
offered for the three best kept lawns dur
ing the next summer. 1t was decided to
postpone this feature until the women
have organized.
A committee On fire department an
nounced that it had received a letter from
the board of fire commissioners saying
that relief could not be granted unless the
appropriation for the department Is in
creased, and recommending that the COM
mittee appear before the charter COM
mission and urge the needed increase.
Encouraging reports were received from
the committees in charge of the petitions
asking for the construction of a number
of sewers The committees were con-
tinued and urged to do their utmost to
secure the necessary signatures, that we
may get in on the money available for
sewers" remarked one of the members.
1t was decided to postpone the agitation
of the proposed change of the name of
the Mississippi and West st. Paul line
until the desired ten-minute service has
been secured.
