The personnel of the democratic
county ticket is splendid. For every
single office has been nominated men
of strong qualifications. There is
strong enthusiasm for every single
one of them by the party as a whole.
The candidacy of Charles Schrader is
especially appealing to the young
element of the party and they are
gathering around him as solid pha-
lanx to secure his election. He is
strong among his fellow employees of
years on the railroad and among the
citizens generally, with whom he has
had close personal relations for years.
Personally Charles Schrader is the soul
of honor and his personal record is
not even shaded with any question
able act in his long residence in this
city. Any man or woman can vote
for Mr.. Schrader and know that thew
are supporting gentleman, whose
personal character is without blemish.

Commands have been issued from
the state republican headquarters to
abandon Peabody, in the canvass that
the republican speakers are now max
ing in this state. The Sentinel was
informed from republican source
this morning that the end sought is
to carry Roosevelt through with such
large majority that it may land the
state ticket also. The democrats,
however, will see that the Peabody
issue is kept alive. Nor are any dem
ocats going to- scratch Parker for
Roosevelt in this state and it is al.
most certainty that Colorado will go
out of the republican column this

The independent voter of this city

ways to be reckoned with in an elec-
tion. He is not blinded by PARTISAN
bias. but calmly he scrutinizes the
platforms of parties and the individual
worth of the candidates and votes as
his judgment dictates. generally being
influenced by the citizenship of the
man. The democratic party for the
past few weeks has been pointing
to the independent voter in Mesa
county a number of the big leaks in
the conduct of affairs. The oppc sition
presents no argument in contravention
to the charges of mismanagement and
extravaganza. save to yell back, "it's
lie' without attempting whatever
to disprove the assertions made in
specific charges against the conduct
of the office of county clerk and re-

correction of the evils. which have
caused excessive taxation. We believe
that it has been criminal waste of

imately $1,000 to conduct the office

the independent voter will also so
regard such extravaganza. If he

promise reform in every department

I'VE have turned to our files of March
10th, 1902 and have read the article
referred to in the republican sheet
last night. We stand by that article
as it was written and would only be
glad to have our contemporary pro-
duce same. 1t would startle his few
readers to have au article of that
character appear in his sheet We
don't write something one day and
apologize for it the next. We still
believe Gov. Orman would have been
weak to have dismissed Gardner at
that time. Nor is the position of the
Sentinel now any different from what
it was then. We don't uphold anv
of the reprehensible acts of the West
ern Federation of Miners. committed
In San Miguel county. Further, we
denounce the Federation for having
had such irresponsible leaders and
outlaws as Vincent st John proved
himself to be. On the other hand we
don't uphold the act of deportation.

citation. We have an abundance of
sympathy for the working man, and
shall always be found with him as

We expect to be found condemuing

III our contemuorary feels that he can
make capital out of that article, we
charge him now to be sure and pub
lish it. It will prove to himself as
we'll as his republican readers that we

1t cannot be said that very generally
the merchants of the city profted by
the fair week. 1t was week devoted
to sight seeing and sports and people
did not desire to burden themselves
with purchases. But Il is the be-.
liet of the Sentinel that hereafter
the week devoted to the fair will be
week during which a large amount
of trading will be dore. The first
fair had many drawbacks to overcome
and was in an experimental stage:
1t is hoped that the week hereafter
will bring considerable trade TO tile

purchases elsewhere.

The republican organ is leveling its

why windmiIIs Burned Down

OF the production of fire by the fric-
ton of wood against wood windmills
of the old construction gave on Il large
scale some disastrous examples. When
the force of the wind increased the
miller was obliged to bring each of the
sails in succession to the ground in or
der to unclothe it, but when sudden
squalls came on this was impractical
BILE and the mill in extreme cases ran
away-that is. could not be stopped.
Everything was now done to increase
the grip of the wooden brake round the
great wheel on the driving shaft, and
water was poured cOpiously over them,
but in spite of all this flames would
sometimes burst out from the intense
friction and the mill be probably
burned down as the result The beau
tiful machinery of the modern wind
mill. by which the miller controls the
action Of the sails from the interior OF
the building, has reduced this danger to
a minimum.-NOtes and Queries.

BARNYARD MANURE.
Estimates of Its Value and Various
Uses to BE Made of 1t.

Estimates of Its Value and Various
Uses to BE Made of 1t.
BY w. H. BEAL, Office of Experiment
Stations
Barnyard manure is the most impOr-
tant manurial resource of the farm and |
should be carefully saved and used |
1t represents fertility which is drawn |
from the soil and must be returned to |
it if prOductiveness is to be maintain !
ed. 1t not only enrichcs the soil with |
the nitrogen, phOsphOric acid and pot
ash, but it also renders the stored up
materials of the soil more available,
improves the mechanical condition of
the soil, makes it warmer and enables
it to retain more moisture.
on the basis of prices charged for
commercial fertilizers it is estimated
that the average value of the manure
annually produced by each horse or
mule is $27, by each head of cattle $40,
by each hog $12 and by each sheep 50.
Probably less than half these values
are actually realized in practice.
The urine is by far the most valuable
part of the eXcreta of animals. 1t is
especially rich in readily available nj
trogen which rapidly escapes into the
air if special precautions are not taken
TO prevent its loss. 1t is also rich in
potash, but deficient in phosphoric
acid 1t should, as a rule, be used in
connection with the solid dung, the
one thus supplying the deficiencies of
the other and making a more evenly
balanced fertilizer.
The disposition to be made of the ma
nure of the farm. both fermented and
unfermented, must be determined large
ly by the nature of the crop and soil.
Where improvement of the mechanical
condition of the soil is the principal
object sought, fresh manure is best
adapted for this purpose to heavy soils
and well rOtted manure to light soils.
Where prompt action of the fertiliZing
constituents is desired, the best results
will probably be obtained by applying
fresh manure to the light soils, al
though excessive applications IN this
case should be avoided on account Of
the danger of burning out" of the
soil in dry seasons.
Fresh manure has forcing effect
and is better suited to early garden
truck. grasses and forage plants than
to plants grown for seed, such as ce-
reals, or to fruits. Direct applications
to root crops. such as sugar beets and
potatoes, or to tobacco often prove in
furious. The manure should be spread
when carried to the field and not left
in heaps to leach.
The rate of application must be de
termined by individual circumstances
AS rule. it is better to manure lightly
and frequently than to apply large
amount at longer intervals.

pi.nnnnval of the Dust spray.


Many of the Illinois Orchardists do
not approve of dust spraying for fun
gous troubles. Some time ago one Of
the speakers before the State HOrticul-
tural society voiced the objection thus:
Il think that the wise man, if he hap
pens to be a fruit grower, will keep
away from the dust spray until the
experiment station has settled the
question, and if there are any who
have lingering ideas in their minds
that there are some merits in the dust
spray | would advise them to wait
awhile until the thing has been settled
and not waste any money on mate
rials and spraying machines, but to
stick to the thing that we know Is
good, and when these other things are
Il success we can invest in them
1t is suggested by some of the fruit
growers that in the compromising or
the dust spray the chemical properly
which in the liquid is effective against
fungus is neutralized or in some way
changed. On the other hand, one OF
the large orchardists of southern ILL
nOis announces his satisfaction in the
use of the dust spray.

THE LITERARY DETECTIVE.
His Hunt Is One That Adds Spice to
His Reading.


There is a certain type of literary
man who seems content to take little
part in the struggle of letters beyond
keeping an eye ON his contemporaries
and pouncing down on them every now
and then to accuse them of having
given a meaning to such and such
word which that word should not pos
sess. 1t is strange that the number Of
these literary detectives is not larger,
for there are few more fascinating Oc-
cupatiOns than this. 1t lends 4 spice
to ones reading. The dullest book be-
comes as readable as the most deftly
written novel. Certain words have tax
en- to themselves meanings in the
course Of time which they have no
right to possess. phenomenon" is a
very hardened offender. To use this
word as meaning something strange"
instead of something that appears
and is visible" is to insure arrest at the
hands Of the detective. Lately the
word temper" has been exposed.
Through long impunity it has come to
imply bad temper, whereas. if it had
it's rights, it should mean just the re-
verse. We strongly advise every one
who desires a never failing source of
amusement to read the next novel he
takes up with the eye of the detective.
Starting with the easier words, like
phenomenon" the novice may go on
from strength TO strength until before
long nothing can escape him. The ex
ercise moreover, is not only pleasure
but a duty.-LOndon Globe.

Where did spats come from? High
land soldiers wore them first. Because
of the bravery of highlanders at Luck

looked about for some way to show

the most suitable for adoption, so they
were adopted and have been commonly

Feeding For Color In the YOII1.

Different rations very clearly affect
the color of the yOlk in eggs. Messrs.
Stewart and Atwood of Virginia have
found that when the grain ration con-
sisted of wheat, oats or white corn, fed
either alone or in combination with
each other, the yolks were so light col
Ored that the eggs would be quite un-
suitable for fancy trade. When the
grain supply consisted entirely OF
white corn the yolks were very light
cOlored, while, on the other hand, the
feeding of yellow corn impaired to
the yolks that rich yellow color which
Is so desirable.
