THE MANURE SPREADER.
Its Modern Type Particularly Fitted
TO Western Needs.

The manure spreader is particularly
adapted 10 western conditions. The
first make OF manure spreader was for
a long time upon the market without
being called for to any grea. extent
The smaller fields of the New England
and middle states did not call so
strongly as do the western prairies
for an implement that will scatter
manure over large areas with but little
manual labor and with great economy
In time. according to writer In the
Northwestern Agricultural. who sets
forth the advantages of the spreader
as follows:
Every practical farmer knows how
great the labor appears for one to go
upon even a forty acre field and COM
mence to spread the manure upon 1t
with the thought Of covering the whole
forty by hand spreading. Forty acres
Is but a small part OF some OF our
western farms.
Modern rhouGht and Practice.
1t is not a practical thing today for
farmers to think OF maintaining and
increasing the fertility OF their land
Nv means bI Sldbit manure uc
modern thought and practice are to ma
nure the land. IL need he. for the first
growth OF the clover plant and then to
top dress the clover field with manure,
thinly and evenly spread.
Much manure has been wasted by
using 1t too heavily on small areas.
The best information today leads us
to understand that manure can be used
with economy II spread less thickly
and more evenly. A manure spreader
will distribute the manure far better
than any one can do it by hand, even
though he be very skillful at 1t.
The Old and the New spreader.
The old spreasler to which we have
before referred carried comparatively
small load In the eyes OF the western
farmer it looked too much like a
wheelbarrow AS soon as these ma
nure spreaders were introduced in the
west the manufacturers began to give
them a large and capaciOus body for
| the holding Of good large load Of
manure. In some cases the spreader
carries such large load and has such
machinery attachment that it re-
! QulreS three horses to handle 1t with
advantage. Other spreaders Of almost
II not quite equal capacity can be OPP
Grated with two good sized horses.
The latest types of manure spreaders
are strongly made and rarely ever
cause annoyance by undue breakage.
Various factories are building them
and each vying with the other to make
more perfect machine for this pur-
pose. The manure spreader will help
to prevent the western farms from be-
ing so handled as to lose the original
fertility.

At the Yellow Boy.

H. w Wund~am was i'm the city this
week from the yellow Boy mine in
Cave gulch. Mr.. wundram states that
he is now running crosscut from the
main drift which is now in 200 feet.
The crosscut has just been started and
is now in eight feet 1t is the inten-
tion of Mr. Wundram to continue >on
which 1t is thought will be about 80
feet. The force OF men will then be
increa sed and instead Of taking out
the ore as has been done in the past
it will he blocked out and left in the
tunnel until means for shipping the
ore from the mine have been pro-
vided.
A shaft 40 feet dee pat the mouth
Of the tunnel has been sunk This
shaft will he sunk to depth Of $50
feet. At the IS foot level drift will
be run west and at the $50 foot level
Mr. Wundram will drift both east and
west on the ledge. A winze 20 feet
deep from the upper tunnel has been
sunk and the ore taken out shows rich
values with the ledge widening rapidly
as depth Is reached. The formation Is
porphyry and slate which Mr.. Wund-
ram states Is the best indication of
good ore and continuous ledge.
Means FOR prosecuting the work have
been furnished by Kansas parties and

COTTON
REPORT
DOCTORED

New York. June 6.-Richard Cheatham.
Of Atlanta, secretary Of the Southern Cot
ton Growers association. who is in this
city. has declared his intention OF call
ing President Roosevelt's attention to
what he considers gross Irregularities IN
both the prepare tion and the publication
OF the government cotton report issued
last Friday.
Mr.. Cheatham will make no charges or
bribery or any other crime. but MS IN
tention is 10 ask for a rigid investigation
and that the resignation OF one OF the
important employees in the statistical bu-
reau in the department Of agriculture be
demanded. II is understood that he
charges some one in the department with
having manipulated the figures and given
them in advance OF publication 10 GER
tain brokers for use in depressing the
cotton market.
The Southern Cotton Growers assoch-
tion Is an organization Of planters and
southern brOkeF=-whose object it's to
regulate so far as possible the acreage
Of cotton and 10 protect the planters ana
other southern cotton interests from ma
n!pulaion Of the market. tending to re-
press the price OF the staple.
Officers Of the association declare they
have as many experts as the department
OF agriculture and make every effort TO
secure the most trustworthy information
regarding the condition OF the crop. For
several months the statistics gathered
by the association have been at variance
with those emanating from Washington
and the officers OF the association, to-
gether with brokers and cotton mer-
chants In this country. have conducted
N a.
certaining the reasons for the discrepan-
cies
A prominent broker. II Is now asserted
has gathered the most important OF the
documentary evidence in the case. From
employees Of the department OF agricul-
ture, he says. some OF whom are In the
habit of making frequent visits 10 this
city he learned that advance informa-
tlon in regard TO the reports could be
secured. He followed up this line by
lnquiring whether or not the report could
not be changed and alleges he was sue
cessful I'm this endeavor also. receiving
letters from at least one employe OF the
department and learning that at least
one OF the prominent firms OF cotton
brokers In this city had such an under
standing with one official.
Mr.. Cheatham was notified Of the al
legged discovery by telegraph and made
a nuITleh TRIP 10 TINS city. AFTER many
hours consultation he journeyed to Wash
ington, remained a few hours and re-
turned TO New York, saving he desired
signatures TO a document in his posses
sion.
IL is said that Nfr ,-heatham will
charge that the figures Of the bureau Of
statistics have been manipulated in the
interests Of a certain bearish element in
the market and this charge will include
not only the furnishing Of advices pertain
ing to~he government figures. but also
Justification Of those figures.
In the case OF the report issued Ia ST
Friday he will charge that plans were
aid practically month in advance.

DENIES Government
ENCOURAGES EMIGRATION

Buda Pest Hungary June 6,-At a
meeting OF the emigration committee of
parliament today Premier Tisza declared
IL was caumnious 10 assert that the gov
ernment connived at official agents de-
coying emigrants so as to supply shipping
companies with a certain number OF
steerage passengers. and said IT was not
true that secret agents were the cause
OF the large exodus.
The German lines. the premier added.
maintained 500 OF these agents, who were
principally responsible for the emigration
OF $1,000 persons without passports in 1904
during the fight between the German lines
and the Cunard line. The activity of these
agents, however, had been partially frus-
trated by the recent agreement between
the Cunard company and the German
lines by which a percentage OF the emil
grants can be openly shipped by way o,
German ports.

a long time a desire that her property

have made an arrangement with her

CAMPAIGN
OF CITIZENS
BEGUN

The Rhode Island Citizens union. in
accordance with promises, has COM
menced a vigorous campaign with view
10 securing revision OF the State Consti-
tuition, by a convention. The union
failed In getting the recent general as
sembly 10 pass its own or any other con-
stitutional reform measure, and in an ex-
haustlve circular which is being sent out
the union urges the election OF an as
sembly WHICH will grant it's request for
a constitutional convention.
Along with the circular is blank form,
which, II filled out and forwarded with
81 10 the secretary, Lewis A. Waterman,
Esq. Union Trust building, will secure
membership In the union.
After review OF the history OF the
unions attempts 20 get the recent assem-
bly, TO act on its proposition. 1t con-
cludes its circular in the following lam
guage:
The Rhode Island Citizens union asks
no favors OF the general assembly II is
-Het at -thiFd-PaF IaeF- attachment to
any party. II contemplates no revolu-
tionary proceeding and raises no ques-
tions OF doubtful legality. The plan
which IL proposes is in accord with the
provisions OF the present Constitution
and with the advisory opinion OF the Su-
preme court judges. 1t does not seek 10
dictate in advance what kind OF a Con-
stitution the state shall have nor how
the interests OF large and small communi-
ties shall be adjusted. IL simply asks
that the people OF Rhode Island be given
an opportunity to amend their Consti-
tuition by means OF a convention whose
membership shall represent popula ton.
IL has asked the general assembly of 1905
10 say whether or not II is willing that
the people Of the state shall change their
fundamental law. BY the failure TO take
any action on the resolution submitted
by the Citizens union or 10 submit any
substitute. the general assembly has an
swered the question in the negative. The
only recourse therefore. is the election
OF general assembly that will grant
what is asked"
