Letter 10 MARCEL DEROUEN
New Iberia, La.

Dear Sir: Some think we take a
good deal of risk in inviting com
plants Of DevOe lead and-zinc-
we authorize our agent to sell it
under this guarantee:
If .you have any fault to find
with this paint, either now in put
ting it on, or hereafter in the
wear, tell your dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what
is right at our expense"
The following story tells how
little the risk is: 4
J.H. Asher Il Co, hardware
dealers, Rhinebeck, n Y, have
sold Devoe from '76 to now; have
sold the usands Of gallons and
have had just one complaint IN all
this time.
Three sides of house were per
feet; the fourth was as bad as the
three were good.
Explanation-It rained the
night before the fourth side was
painted; and the painters didn'.
wait for the wO,M RI dry
What is done in such a case!
Whatever the dealer, who sold the
paint, considers it far to do. We
leave It to him. He may not dc
exactly what we should do if We
were there; but we are not there
The best we can do is to leave il
to him. Yours truly,

Where and How to Spread Manure

w
| have used a manure spreader for
some time and think it is as important
an implement on the farm as a cultivator
or plough. One advantage of the
spreader is that it is labor saver but
would not advise purchasing spreader
for that value alone. consider the real
value of the spreader is in the way IN
which it handles the manure.
use the manure as top-dressing.
This gets the elements Of the manure
right to the roots of the grain, none is
lost, and get results the first year. In
ploughing manure under one will have
to wait until the second year, when 1t Is
ploughed on top again, before he VIII
get much benefit, and by that time half
of the value of the manure has seeped
down i'm the ground. Using manure as
top dressing put it on only half as
thick to get the same results per acre,
and in this way make the manure cover
twice as many acres.
Another advantage l find in using ma
nure as top dressing is that 1t mulches
the ground and helps to retain moisture,
while I have seen many cases IN very
dry weather where manure did more
damage than good when ploughed un-
der. prefer using the manure on
wheat and oats after sowing, and on
meadows. by the time | get ready to
use the field for corn have 1t in good
condition. 1t is almost impossible to
use manure for top dressing Tor the rea'
sons that, first, 1t cannot be spread even

torn apart, while with good spreader
the manure is riddled aud spread evenly.
A man with small farm can use
spreader as we'll as any one, for the rea-
son that he at least doubles the value Of
the manure. He will have to be more
careful, however. in purchasing aspread'

Real Source of Wealth.

The national secretary of agriculture,
Hon. James Wilson, makes compari-
son that contains a world of meaning
when he says: "The farmers of this
country have in two years produced
wealth exceeding the output of all the
gold mines of the entire world since
Columbus discovered America"
Not only the popular imagination, but
the thinking of economists and finan-
ciers, has been unduly impressed by sta
tistics of gold production. The addition
to the worlds stock of precious metals
following the discovery of America,
again when the mineral wealth of Aus
tralia and California was tapped, and
very recently when gold was found in
South Africa, has been treated as of
monumental Importance, as revolution
izing commerce, and adding to the
worlds wealth the amount of gold and
silver produced.
And vet the amount of wealth sunk
in searching for gold bears very high
ratio to the total product. The net
profit to the world of its gold and silver
mines is very small percentage of the
bullion put on the market; and, while
the great gold discoveries have undoubt-
edly stimulated trade, it must be borne
in mind that gold and silver in monetary
use are not consumed and large annual
additions are not essential to commerce.
On the other hand, the net profit in
the products of agriculture is very high.
Nature furnishes the soil, though in
dustry may improve it, and from
bushel of wheat, with moderate
amount of labor, it produces ten or twen-
ty bushels. Our farmers, both north
and south, have for several years now
been producing large crops, which at
the same time command high prices.
The present cotton crop, Secretary Will
son says, is worth $500, ,0O0,0OO to the
farmers; last years crop may have been
worth more and for several years the
south has been getting s4OO, 5000 and
over annually for its cotton. The corn
crop is the most valuable ever produced in
this country. The wheat crop is large,
though much smaller than last year,
and the price is about 80 cents-a third
higher than a year ago and it was then
regarded as high. Full particulars
about these and other crops are given
in an abstract of the annual report OF
the secretary.
The secretary says that within four
years the value of farm capital, apart
from the recent increase in the value OF
farm land has increased two billion dol
lars, and in eight years the deposits in
Iowa banks have nearly doubled the de-
posits, in Kansas banks more than
ha~ he
three-fold. The value of the crops OF
this year, omitting what is fed to stock,
comes close to five billion dollars, and is
six times the value of the capital stock
of all the national banks.
These large crops and the conditions
in the world at large that make them
marketable at good prices explain the
prosperity that the country has been
enjoying for five or six years.-rurf'

Walkers Win.

In the National Stockman and Farmer,
/. b. recently gave some good points on
the walking gait that We are glad to
reproduce:
Recently the writer was attracted by
the excellence of two grew draft geldings
that were harnesSed to an immense ex-
press wagon and were taking it along at
a rapid walk. 1t happened that my
route and theirs was the same for about
mile, and | kept alongside until they
came to watering trough. The driver
climbed down and we talked little
about these horses. The team weighed
about 3, 400 pounds, and had been under
his care for several years. Neither OF
them had missed feed or days work
in his charge, aud they were in unusual
ly good cOndition-tieshy but muscular
from constant work, fresh and prompt
to obey. In reply to my question he
stated that they were never driven out
of walk. No matter how long the trip
or how late he might be in getting back
to the stable they were not urged to go
faster than a walk, but they had become
excellent walkers and no doubt aver
aged more miles per day and hauled
more pounds than many horses that are
hurried and driven irregularly at slow
walk or trot. Some of the best sta
bles do not allow their draft teams to
move faster than walk at any time,
and they report that they have not only
saved their horses but have got more
work out of them than when their driv-
ers were allowed to go faster. There is
a lesson in this for the breeder as
well as for the user Of draft horses.
Stations that are good walkers and not
slouchy, sluggish travellers at this gait
should be used"
1t is no less important to arrange the
teams with reference to their similarity
of disposition than it is with regard to
their size and strength. A sluggish
deadhead mated with nervous, spirit
ed animal, will needlessly wear ont the
energy of the sprightly horse and ex-
asperate the temper of the driver.
