Hen manure is about twice as valuable as
cattle manure and if it is thoroughly mixed
with IFS own weight of dissolved South Caro-
lima rock and allowed to decompose in dry
place. it will become fine and by the addition
of little plaster, if it is not dry enough, it
viii become sufficiently dry so that it can be
sown with the phosphate drill. In this way
with one hundred 70 a hundred and fifty hens
several tons of high grade fertilizer can be
made, in fact enough for the average farmer
if he applies the manure directly from the sta
BILE. Other composts can be made from scrap
ings about the building, slaughter house refuse,
rotted leaves swamp muck, peat, ETC., all Of
them mixed with lime, plaster or dissolved
South Carolina rock in piles TO decompose,
after which it is applied as fertilizer. The
gardner and truck farmer need something
more active than this. The best compost for
gardening and trucking | have ever seen is
made by John X. Gross, agent of the Peunsyl-
vania railroad company, of this city, who, by
the way, is one of the most scientific gardeners
in this section. Mr.. Gross composts a mix
ture of horse and COW manure in layers of
sixteen to eighteen inches thick with mixture
of 200 pounds of murate potash. He applies
about two pounds Of the plaster and muriate
of potash mixture to a days manure each of
the COW and horse.

The wants or needs of the soils and the
emfwypna of the farmer must largely regulate
the application Of manure, but in a general
way where the old rotation of grass, corn, oats
and wheat is followed, manure should be APP
piled on the surface, where it will not be
plowed down for quite time, because then it
viii not act as a fertilizer, bat it will keep the
ton, that is the changing of the unavailable
nitrogen in the soil to available; il will prevent
washing and keep the surface porous, whereas
when it is plowed down it will not perform
any of these surface functions so important in
the production of crops.

If what | have said. that the excreta Of an.
finals are in the best condition for the soil
when they are voided, is correct. and this has
been experimentally demonstrated. then the
best plan is to apply the manure directly from
the stable to a growing plant. for manure IS
never in a better place than when it is with q
growing plant. There are usually plants oH
the farm where this manure viii do good even
in the winter time, when there is no snow CA
the ground. For example the wheat field
which has been or will be sown 10 grass seed
in the spring will furnish an elegant place for
this manure. Here the manure will furnish 4
protecting cover in the winter a source Of fer.
tility as soon as il is needed in the spring
mulch like the cover Of leaves in the forest
that will prevent the evaporation Of water aud
a protection for the bacteria both in the soil
and in the manGre which render available the
plant food. In this way If the corn and the
oats and rye and the hay are fed into ami
mails and the straw is passed through the sa-
bles, nearly all the fertilizer contained ia these
foods and those that are bought are returned
directly to the soil with but little loss In or
der to do this satisfactorily the corn fodder
should be shredded and the straw cut IN two
inch lengths, and not any more used than Is
needed TO absorb the liquid excreta and the
manure spread with manure spreader. The
excreta of animals contains from fifty to sew.
enty five per cent. Of the fertil.ziug elements
that are contained IN the food they consume.
Young growing animals eXcreie as iitile as
mr. PER cent. Of the fertility contained ID the
~ u they eat, milk cows from sixty five %
eighty five per cent. and fatteHiug animals
such as full grown working horses from ninety
to ninety five per cent. These use only the
heat and fat producing substances. which ar,
not fertilizer By this direct application of
manure John McDouald Of Debit Delaware
county. New York. maintains the soil Of what
we here would regard a poor farm in such
high state of fertility that be keeps one hun
dred and more head OF dairy cows on one
hundred and sixty acres.

PRESERVATION OF MANURE.

When It becomes necessary 10 keep manure
during the time when there Is snow on the
ground or when there is no place on the farm
for 1t, then we must In so far IS possible, re-
strict the processes Of fermentation aud leach
ing. First. To do this use larger amount
of absorbents, such "a straw. shout nine
pounds per head for cattle and six to seven
pounds for horses daily. Second. Mix the
horse and cattle manure we'll. Third Do
not spread il over yard of a fourth Of an acre
but pile il up aud compact il we'll this will
prevent the air,loving bacteria from getting IN
very deep and decomposing 1t. II you are
obliged 10 leave it lie for some time and il
gets too hot pour water over IT.
Fourth. Whenever possible add one and
one half pounds of a mixture Of equal parts
plaster and KANT for each horse and COW to
layers of from fourteen TO sixteen inches ma
nure. Dissolved South Carolina rock can be
substituted for the plaster. This will prevent
heating and the ammonia from escaping. This
mixture can also be used or applied in the
stables if enough litter is added to protect the
animals feet after the application is made.
By and by we will build barns to preserve ma
nure as well as to protect our animals and
crops. Whatever may be in the future the best
thing now is directly from the stable to the
soil whenever possible, because this will save
labor, for the manure will only be handled
twice and not only will 1t save labor but il will
furnish work for that man whom the farmer
must give employment the year round as the
manufacturer does a subject we will discuss
more fully some time IN the future.

A kIOWA BALL DRESS.
Robe Worn by Savage Woman Is of
Immense Value.

Mr. l.. G. Reisner of Lancaster, Pa,
is the owner of an Indian woman's
buckskin dress trimmed with elk teeth,
which is believed to be one of the
most valuable garments of this sort
now in existence. Over 1900 elk tusks
cover this sGuaw dress, and most of
them are good specimens. They rep
resent, of course, the death of not less
than 750 bull elks. 1t is not known
where all the elks were obtained The
garment was finished in 1874, and was
used as a state robs for the wife of
Little Boy, chief of the Kiowa tribe. It
became one of the state robes of that
people, and after the death Of the
chiefs wife, was worn by Kiowa Anna.
reigning belle of the tribe. 1t was
lost by the Kiowas in a skirmish with
another tribe. Chief Lone Wolf, its
next owner, gave it to his niece, Ida
Lone Wolf, who sold it three years
ago to an Indian collector, who in
turn sold it to Mr.. Reisner. There is
perhaps no ball dress of America
which has longer and more anthem
tic history, nor is there any ball dress
of white woman which has more
value than this savage woman's robe,

Authors Drop Their Titles.

Authors have small need of the
titles conferred upon them by royal
ty since they rule by right divine of
genius, and they are particularly cour-
teous about using these titles in their
dealing with the plain democratic
world of letters in America. Sir Gil
bert Parker, by his own wish, in an
swer to a cable from his publisher, ap-
pears as plain Gilbert Parker on his
first novel published since his knight
hood, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
when asked if he desired the "Sir" to
appear on his title pages, said when
the American people like me as l am
why should l thrust title in their
democratic faces?"

Perfection of Cement.

In Germany puzzuolani cement is
now well recognized trade product,
with a good reputation for it's proper
ties of strength and hardness. This
cement is produced by grinding and
thoroughly mixing SIS per cent granu-
ated Stag with Is per cent of lime
hydrate. Stag has also been employed
in Germany largely by the Portland
cement manufacturers as a substitute
for mari and limestone, and the claims
that cement made with this addition
is stronger than the ordinary cement
have now been recognized by eminent
thorities.-London Engineer.

Attorney Jerome's Simple Life.

Although District Attorney Jerome
belongs to one of the Oldest and most
distinguished families in New York
and holds a membership in five of the
most fashionable clubs, he prefers to
live in little fiat over on the east
side. At home he leads the simple
life and in the office he leads the
strenuous life. He has no time for
billiards or cards, but makes his own
breakfast and broils a steak or a
chicken for guest. When his clocks
or electric bells get out of order Mr..
Jerome fixes them himself. He has a
flint set of tools and prides himself
on his skill as a mechanic. Mr.. Je-
rome also is skilled drink mixer.

SPORTING GOSSIP.

One of the daily papers charges that
it was framed up" for Gardner to
win, during the time the principals
were kicking about the gate receipts
1t must have been that the Ogden
people had a bunch that there was
going to be a fake, because, despite
the advertising the affair received;
despite the efforts of the bankers at
the door who wanted people to come
in and get good seat early, the crowd
was slim one. The men showed up
poorly, neither man doing any work
worth mentioning, although the Trib
une presented its readers with a dia
gram of the blows exchanged. Such
contests as this ought to be stopped.
What's the use of humbugging the
people any longer? We haven't had
a good contest since Nelson beat
Spider Welch. We cannot blame
Fitzsimmons for leaving. He saw
how things were going and declined
to take a chance. All this talk about
Fitz being afraid of Schreck is rot.
And now we are to have Dave Barry
and Schreck. Any old thing for a
fight. From the champion of the
world to a third-rater! Rats!

This afternoon and tomorrow the
Salt Lake team and the Ogden club
will play here at the park. 1t will
doubtless be a good game. The boys
left here are full of ginger and want
to play Salt Lake City likes to see
good ball games. The people will pat
ronize good ball. We advise them to
go to the games, and we advise the
players to get busy, because when
snappy, gingery ball is played the
spectators are delighted. Under the
new arrangement games will be
played here Saturday and Sunday, and
at Ogden Wednesday and Thursday.
1t will be a good thing for both towns
to patronize the games, for by so do
ing they will encourage the players,
the people behind the players and the
men with the money. Next year we
will doubtless be travelling in better
company. The opening of the new
road gives us a chance to get in with
Los Angeles and San Francisco, in a
league with standing to it. Help

A Remarkable Cure ,

The proceedings Of the Royal Soci-
ETY. were not always taken 10 seriously
as they are now. A hundred and Atty
years ago sailor who had broken his
leg sent to the Royal Society ali ac-
count Of the remarkable manner In
which he had healed the fracture. Hts
story was that he had dressed It with
nothing but tar and oakum. and was
now able to walk well. This remark.
able story naturally caused some ex-
element among the members OF tho
society. No one had previously sus-
pected tar ana oakum OF possessing
such miraculous healing powers. The
society wrote for further particulars,
and doubted indeed whether the lsg
had been really fractured. Tho truth
Of this part Of the story. however, was
proved beyond a shadow Of q doubt.
Several letters passed between the
Royal Society and the sailor, who con.
tinued to assert solemnly that his
broken leg had been treated with tar
and .oakum, and with nothing else.
The society might have remained pug
zled for an indefinite period had not
the sailor added In postscript to his
last letter: II forgot to tell your hon
ors that the leg was q wooden one"
