After the compost heap has been completed,
a large pillow is run around the manure pile two
or three times throwing a mass of earth up
toward it. The additional use of a shovel for a
few minutes serves to hold the LIQUID manure
within the heap and as nearly prevents any loss
from teaching as is possible to do under the cir
cumstances. B. this method we are able to break
down and prepare the manure for use as top
dressino on spring crops or for use through the
manure spreader on land that is to be plowed for
corn or other spring crops. We have found that
cOmposted manure gives us quicker results III IN
creased crop yield than when put on the ground
in the raw condition, and as the land is generally
too wet to allow the direct spreading of the
manure from the wagon when first hauled and we
prefer using it through the manure sprcader any
way, the cost of composing is slight and the ben
efts derived more than pay for the time and
labor of handling it.
1t often happens that we have more or less
rough manure to work up in our compost heaps,
and SO we often find it an advantage to first
put down a heavy layer of straw and alternate
layers of straw and manure in constructing the
compost heap. Of course, other rough material
can be used just the same as straw, but the straw
is a good absorbent and helps to hold the liquid
manure, and when forked over once or twice is
broken up by the heating process. The past year
a flood swept over a portion of our farm and
destroyed som cereal crops so that they could
not be used for anything except compost work,
and they have been worked up in the manner sug-
gested to good advantage.
A compost heap is difficult to handle sue
c~essfully in the South in the summer, unless so
situated that water can be put on it quite fire.
quently. If placed in the open field it does not
matter how large or compact the heap may be.
it is always sure to f~re-fang, and that means
the loss of ammonia and should never be tolerat-
ed. A heavy coating of earth over the heap re-
duces the danger of ~fire-fang materially as evap-
Grafton is practically stopped. 1t is more con
venient and better to have the compost heap
convenient to water, so it can be sprinkled with
a hose or put on with a pail.-Prof. Andrew NJ.

The Chattanooga Advertisement.
The Chattanooga Medicine ECompany,
with laboratories and general offices at
| Chattanooga Tennessee, and branch houses
at St Louis, Mo-. and San Francisco Cal.
ifornia has become one of tho largest
proprietary medicine concerns in the
world. In the growth of this great busi-
ness two factors have tcen dominant: !:
The merits of it's products-Wine of Car
dui and Tedfords Black -Draught - has
been widely recognized and the original
advertising methods adopted have excl
ted great comment. The publicity for
these medicines does not consist of the
catch phraseand extra VACANT statement
too often employed in advertising to-day,
but instead the plain story of expert
en- ce of the medicine given in the plain
anguage of the people themselves. The
following letter is fair sample of the
thousands of Wine ofCardui testimonials
published during the past twenty years

a specific AS tonic and regulator. For
eight years 1 suffered with female trouble.
1 had intense pains in the back and head
leaving me so weak that was unable to
stand at times. Medicine did not seem
to help me. but after all remedies had
failed me Wine OF Cardui proved my one
great true friend. What relief 1 ex-
perienced. 1t came only few davs after
1 started taking it, 1 used it faithfully
for four months and gradually grew
stronger and better, I am now regular
to the day and for the past two years have
enjoyed blessed good health, [ certainly

could know of your blessed medicine,

younger pupils and is ''I give
my head and my heart to God

GENERAL CROP OUTLOOK.
Summary OF Conditions in the Various
Agricultural States.

Washington, Sept. 20.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions issued today follows: While
the weather conditions Of the week
ending September 19, were generally
favorable for gathering crops in nearly
all districts, low night temperatures in
the more .northerly portions have de-
layed maturity of the late crop. Some
suffering from drought is reported from
the Ohio ard lower Missouri valleys
and portions Of the southern states.
Frosts occurred as far south as Okla
horna and Tennessee, but little or no
damage resulted, except to tender veg
citation in the central valleys and to
unmatured crops in Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, the Dakotas and Montana. Unus-
ually severe rain and wind storms
caused considerable damage on the 14th
and 18th in portions of New England
and the middle Atlantic states.
Conditions generally are favorable in
California, but the drought is injurious
in Oregon. No rain fell in Washing
ton. Late corn is maturing rapidly in
the western portion of the belt, but
the crop is ripening slowly in the east
ern and central sections and needs ten
to twenty days favorable conditions to
be safe from frost. While damaging
frosts occurred in portions of the up
per Mississippi valley, and consider
able portion of the crop was DANA ed
in Wisconsin and some on the low
lands in parts of Minnesota and Iowa.
the aggregate frost damage in the last
named state was not serious. Cutting
is now general in all sections.
The spring wheat harvest is practf-
cally completed, except in northern
portions of North Dakota, and threshv
ing is we'll advanced in Minnesota and
South Dakota, half done in Washing
ton, nearing completion in Nebraska,
but delayed by rain in eastern North
Dakota.
