DRAW OUT MANURE DAILY.
Every Farmer Should Devote His
Attention to This Feature of
Agricultural Work.

Fresh manure should be applied as
made to land plowed in the fall or
early winter. for planting early spring
crops. If applied to plowed surface,
the rains and melting SHOWS, aided by
the freezing and thawing, carry the
soluble portions into the soil. When
applied to plowed land there is less
waste by teaching than on unplowed
surface, says Farm and Home.
The economical way of handling ma
nure in winter. or at all times, is to
haul it out as fast as made. Every
farmer should have low down wagon
and load direct from the stables, sheds
and feed lots, haul to the field where
naeded and scatter direct from the
wagon. Time and labor are saved anu
there is less loss by teaching and evap-
osation. Spread the manure as evenly
ss possible and better results will be
secured than if thrown out in large
forkfuls and allowed to remain.

set two and one-half feet asunder in
rows three feet apart, and occupied about
half of the radish ground. A stake was
driven at each plant at once and the
plants tied securely. After the plants
had started growing, applied small
quantity of commercial fertilizer to
each.

GOOD LEVEL MADE At HOME
Orange Judd Farmer Explains How a
serviceable Instrument May Be
Constructed with Ease.
A serviceable level is shown in the
illustration. Take two one-inch boards

so strong as never to be moved by ordin-
airy pressure. At the top of the perpen-
dicular piece cut a slit and insert piece
of strong thread. To the bottom of the
thread, tie thin circular weight. Lay
the device across two trestles of nearly
the same level. Just above the weight
mark the place where the string hangs.
Reverse the position Of the instrument
by turning 1t end for end, and again
and again mark the position of the
string. Half way between the two marks
place a third. When the string hangs
over this mark the lower board will be
level. A shield of tin may be placed over
the weight. A nail one each side of the
string, just above the weight, will keep
it from swinging far out of place. 1t
must be allowed to swing freely.

The public should remember that
there are few Labor Unions conduct
ed on peaceful lines. and in properties
as they are worthy they have won
esteem, for we, as people. are strong
ly in sympathy with any right act that
has for its purpose better conditions
for wage workers. But we do not for
get that We seek the good Of all and
not those alone who belong to some
organization, whereas even the law
abiding unions show undeniable evil
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
of the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force q
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. AS a public speaker lately
said: 1.-THE arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery eloquence
of Otis, that inspired the immortal
declaration of Jefferson, that left War
rem dying on the slopes of Bunker Hill
was not more outrageous than the con-
ditions that closed shop would force
upon the community. These men burst
into rebellion when the king did but
touch their pockets Imagine il you
can their indignant protest had he
sought to prohibit or restrict their oc-
cupation or determine the conditions
under which they should earn their
livelihood" and to assault, beat and
murder them. blow up their houses and
poison their food ii they did not sub
init.
The public should also remember
that good true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts Of their
fellow members, but they are often in
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So. the
honest. lawabiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are denounced,
but when you hear a union man "hol-
Ter" because the facts are made public.

of the lawbreakers or a sympathizer,
