pounds of anything will be sufficient
to make IN acre of land fertile for any
crop.
If the land is poor there is only one
practical way to fit it so that it will
grow profitable crop: SOW peas;
manure the crop with stable manure.
When vines are dead turn under. The
next year peas will grow without ma
nure.
1t is only with stable manure and
pea vines can poor soil be made rich
again. The two will provide all the
necessary ''bacteria" for any crop.
Don't worry any about ''nitrO-cul-

The following brief statement of
facts is from the Farm, Field and
F'iresidc:
American postal facilities form a
network that covers the country Our
two-cent letter postage with its quick
transportation and delivery, is very
satisfactory. In fact, in regard to
letters, the system seems almost per-
feet, there is nothing better of the kind
i'll any country. But owing to the
great influence of express companies
it has been impossible to organize the
freight department of the post office

Congress and in the Senate. all the
time we are unfortunate enough to
have men who are either directly in
terested in some of the great express
companies, or who are directly in their
pay or under their influence. Express
companies are already carrying pack
ages ut one cent per pound in certain
districts. 1t is only reasonable to sup
pose that if these private companies
can do business at this rate that the
government can do the same and it
could, but it may be necessary to

We give a short item on this subject
again this week. We expect to keep
up the fight until the people win.
At the end of Il long editorial on the
rate bill. the editor of Farm and
Ranch closes with the following:
The fact that only three United
States senators voted against the bill,
which as amended. was far mOI,e
drastic than the original house bill,
proves cOnclusively the power of pub
lie sentiment as expressed through
the press to induce the highest branch
of congress to heed these demands
of the people This leads us to predict
that when in the course of the next
few months the merits of the parcels
post are once understood by the peO-
ple our congressman and senators
will provide this much neglected pub
lie utility just as they have consented
to cheap letter postage. 1t is a mere
matter of education and agitation.

part i'm both respects.

My thought is this, that if those in

ideas from others as to how these
things are managed. that it makes it
harder OH them to know what the

an idea that he considers of any value
whatever. it is his duty to impart it

Merits Island on the East Coast is
a remarkable place. 1t is fifty miles
long, not over three quarters of a
mile wide and divides Indian river
from the Atlantic. Its soil is unsur-
passed and will grow pineapples and
vegetables in abundance To clear the
land and get it ready for cultivation
Is the question. In many places the
growth is so dense that it is absolutely
impenetrable for anything but rab-
bit or snake. Notwithstanding this.
however, the ak and the grubbing hoe
are steadily and vigorously pushing
their invasiOns. Already there are
many large fields in cultivation. from
which the farmers ship beans and
tomatoes in mid winter. Some of
these beans brought as high as SS a
crate last winter. 1t is no uncommon
thing for two crops of beans to be
raised and shipped from the same

localities. Some must, therefore, be
better than others. Many farmers

The very fact that the common

the methods of disposing of this fertil-
izer on or in the soil is often very
faulty.
One fact should be kept constantly
in mind. The first essential in the
use of manure is its decomposition.
The manure must decay, rot, in the
soil. before it can supply the crop with
plant food. Until the manure has un-
dergOne this change it is utterly use
less as Il source of fertility. This
is equally true of its most soluble
parts, which may be easily dissolved
out by soil and rain water. 1t is easily
apparent. therefore, that anything
must be an advantage The methods
of diSpOSing of manure so that its
decomposition is most complete and
rapid after its application to the soil
must be best.
This fact should be the first con-
sideratiOn in the plowing under Of
manure.
FineneSs of the manure itself is one
of the essentials to its quiet and entire
This is one of the ad-
secured by use of the spread
er. The reason is the same which
causes granulated sugar to dissolve
more quickly than a lump of the same
weight. More surface is exposed to
action. Where the spreader is not
used, and even where it has been used
with very coarse manure, results are
materially improved by the use of a
disc harrow over the land before it is
plOwed.
Air and water are the chief agen-
cies in the decomposition of manure

Water is even more important to the
full advantages from the Use of ma
nure, as related to decomposition, thai
is air. The soil always contains
enough air to produce some decOmpO
sitiOn. On the other hand. the manure
may easily become so dry as to remain
in the soil, practically unchanged
through an entire season. In this case
the crop can not possibly receive any
benefit and the manure is utterly
worthless. 1t may even be worse than
worthless. so far as the present crOI
is concerned, by actually interfering
with soil processes. The plOwing un-
der of dry manure may easily injure
the crop. Manure is naturally so alb

face soil There is always plenty of
water in the lower soil to supply the
needs of all crops. even when the sur

be dying for lack of wafer So long
as the water from below can move
upward to the surface soil in sufficient
quantity for the needs of the crop,
drought causes no damage. This up

A layer of dry manure is like an in
sulator. There is no action through it.
Capillary movement stops: the surface
soil becomes thoroughly dry and Seri-
ous damage to the crop is only Il ques-

The mines of the independent opera
tors will be shut down tomorrow in the
Pittsburg district in conjunction with
those in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The
independent operators met in this city
tonight, and at 1890 adjourned after
passing resolutions to support the
opera tors of the aforenamed states in
refusing to sign the scale. The indie
pendent operators announced that their
mines would not be operated tomorrow
under any consideration and that under
no circumstances would the mines be
run as non-union plants.
