Gypsum and Manure.

Gypsum is a good material to use
as an absorbent. In barnyard
manures it has the effect of reducing
the losses Of ammonia by fixing it,
This used to be applied in large guam
titles to the land, and some farmers
even use it now under the name Of
land plaster" but it is most useful
BILE. There is another reason for mix
ing it with manure and that is that
the work of bacteria in manure is con-
stantly going on and this work results
in the formation of more ammonia,
which escapes into the air if not
stopped. The use of the gypsum thus
Incorporates the ammonia with the
manure in a form where it can be
taken out only by the growing crops.
AS barnyard manure is ordinarily
handled there is great loss, and this
loss may be minimized as Indicated
OF course the gypsum costs some
thing, but it helps to improve the
physical condition of many soils
enough to make up for the cost.

Irvine From Wisconsin Wire Grass

Wire grass twine Is new product OF
the Northwest, which promises to re-
lieve the stringincy of the supply OF
Manila Irvine during the wheat harvest
season. The wire grass from which
the Irvine ls made is grown In Mime
sofa and Wisconsin, and other products
as we'll as Irvine, are made from 1t. c.
w. Crawford of Indianapolis, explain
ed the nature of the new product:
"For the past ten years or more" he
said, "the wheat harvest season has as
sumed the aspect OF a bugbear to farm
ers who did not have large supply o.
Irvine on hand. Without twine bind
ers cannot run, and without binders II
is impossible to harvest wheat.
"The only variety OF Irvine that
could be used in the past was the Ma
Mia variety, imported from the Philip
pine Islands. The supply OF that al
ways gave out before the harvest ended
and the lack of it often ocoasloned great
loss. The new wire grass has proved
to be equal, if not superior, to Manila
Irvine, and the farmers may rest easy
now"

Wheat Crop May DO Short.

New York Dispatch.
No extraordinary wheat crop Is ex-
pected this year. According to J: q
Brown, statistician of the Produce Ex-
change, the total wheat harvest this
year showed 657 ,O21 900 bushels. The
governments report was based upon
the condition of tie grain and the acre.
age in June. In 1908 on the similar
date the forecast indicated yield OF
782,COO,OOO bushels, but the final har.
vast was only 637 ,S21,S35 bushels.
Tue comparatively poor showing
that Is made by the wheat crop at
present is due to the handicap which
winter wheat received on account OF
the intense cold last winter. This loss
cannot be made up to any extent, az
harvesting OF winter wheat has already
bsgun.
Benefit to the crop must come from
improvement in spring wheat, which

HUSBAND REFUSED TO BURY
CHILD, WIFE TELLS COURT
Woman Is Given Divorce After
ReCiting Tale of Unhappy
Married Life.


An instance of brutality was brought out
in a divorce case before Judge Allen in the
Marion Circuit Court yesterday Flora
MalcOtt was petHoning for divorce from
Alexander Malcott and the evidence she
gave has perhaps not been paralleled in a
Marion county court.
1t was shown that upon the death of their
eight-months-old child the husband refused
to pay for the funeral expenses. telling his
wife to pay for them herself if she wanted
the brat buried.
1t was further shown that the plaintiff
was taken i'll of typhoid fever and that the
husband had her sent to the hospital to
keep from caring for her and that while
there he confiscated her bed and bedding
and other furniture of the house and sold
them. When she became sufficiently well
TO be removed ii was shown she had to be
provided with clothing through nurses and
friends.
On another occasion the husband came
home while intoxicated and brutality as
saulted the wife and drew a razor and
drove her from her home. The plaintiff
also testified that the only articles of cloth
ing the defendant ever provided was two
pair of shoes.
The court granted the plaintiff her maiden
name and as soon as a verdict had been
rendered she asked, with all expectancy,
from the court, Am I free?" Yes the
court replied with kindly emphasis, you
are free"
Judge Allen said yesterday that there
should be law providing more stringent
divorcing them from their prosecuted
wives -
