CHICAGO; Aug. 5.-Deolaring the enemy
Of the dove Of peace to be the stork and not
the raven Of war, DR.. Edward Ross Of the
chair Of sociology at the University Of
Nebraska, in speaking to the students Of
the Chicago University yesterday, said that
race suicide was matter for con gratula-
ton.
"A decreased birth rate does not mean
the destruction Of the race" he said. Call
It race suicide II We will. It is high birth
rats that ia dan gerous. Russia proves
it. There Che birth rate is barbarous,
years old. Over 80 per cent. Of the men
marry under 20 years OF age and nearly
Is per cent Of the women marry before that
age. The result is q vast horde Of people,
ignorant and nenlightened, that Is con-
stsny spTessd n out over other SGun 1ts
Russia figuratively Is buried alive.
sWomen's rights and the higher educa-
tion OF women are two OF the main causes
OF the decrease in the rate Of birth. Women
have been admitted into the universities,
admitted 'is open to them The profess
sions are more attractive than marriage
as 1t has been to some within their ex-
perienoe. The remedy for too great a
reduction in the birth rate lies In the woman,
but 1t Ia not in closing the professions
against her, but In showing her that she
Is more capable Of motherhood than any
profession
-In this young men must play an Inn
portant part; they must make home life
more attractive to women than the pro-
fessions Statistics show that tho families
Of college graduates are decreasing every
year, and II the rate keeps up there Will
soon be no one to attend them.'

Hen Manure Very Rich.

Hen manure and poultry manure in
general are very rich in fertilizing con.
stituents, especially nitrogen, due tc
the fact that. in addition to the undi
gested residue of the food it contains,
the urinary secretiOns, in which are
large amounts of nitrogen as we'll as
potash in readily available form, are
voided with the solid excrement in
this class Of animals. The analyses
which have been made show that hen
manure is very variable in composition,
depending upon the stage of growth of
the fowl, the character of the feed and
the care taken of the manure The
nitrogen has been found to vary from
about 4 to ? per cent, the phosphoric
acid from 3 to per cent and the pot
ash from % to o per cent. This shows
that such manure, if properly cared for.
is much richer than that of other farm
animals.
