The Farm Garden.


Do not plOw the garden when the
soil Is so wet as to be lumpy or 1t will
bother all the first part of the season
Harrow very thoroughly and lay of
the space in as long rows as possible
planting In these all vegetables except
lettuce, radishes, etc. Rows should not
be less than three feet apart so that
the horse cultivatOr can be used. II
the space Is limited 1t Is, of course,
better to use the hand-wheel hoe and
garden-drill machine and plant more
closely, but on the farm there Is usual
ly plenty Of space that could be used
to advantage In the labor saving plan
of wide rows.
Hen Manure and Guano.
Never apply unadulterated hen drop
pings, or any other pure guano, direct
ly on seeds or plants; applied pure 1t
will destroy the germ on most plants.
Properly prepared fowl manure may be
applied with benefit to any crop, field
or garden, broadcast or narrowed In,
but Is more economically employed in
the hill or drill. As good a plan as
any, probably. is to gather the drop
pings as often as twice a week, and
mix with about twice their bulk of dry
earth

when the hen has sprung it the door
falls and the opposite end to the screw
catches in an iron staple which pre-
vents it from being moved by the cap
| tive hen.
The top Of the nests are provided
| with few Stats at the forward end
for light and ventilation, and each
compartment has trapdoor hinged at
the top SO the hen can be removed from
the nest. The nest box Is provided
with two screws at each side just for
ward from the middle. These rest on
blocks with a V-shape'l top.
The nest Is balanced so the weight
3f hen when she steps on the front
edge will tip 1t down, thereby releas-
Ing the wire end that holds the door
and allows 1t to fall. Two pieces Of
wire are used. One Is made fast to a
screw eye driven in the front edge OF
the box and extends up nearly to the
under side Of the top, where piece OF
cord is tied to 1t. The cord passes
through a screw eye and toward the
front Of the box, where, four inches
from the eye, 1t Is tied to the longer
piece of wire that extends to the door.
The wire and string are adjusted so
the front end Of the wire passing
through a hole in the board will pro-
iect quarter Of IN inch and support
the door. When the hen steps on the
box and drags the wire down that pulls
the long wire In and the door drops
BY opening the trap door at the top 1t
Is easy to set the door again.
Use Good Tools in Spraying.
Those who do spraying on consider
able scale fully realize the Importance
of the very best outfits for the purpose.
Those who have but little spraying to
do will find smaller implements which
will answer the purpose, but will no
tice that there Is a great difference In
the prices for the same capacity imple-
ment. This difference represents the
difference between something valuable
and something made to sell, the only
value such latter implements have Is
for use in the small agrden where but
a few trees or bushes are to be sprayed
Better pay double the price asked for
the cheap sprayer and get something
that may be depended upon to do the
work properly and effectively and
which will not be worthless the first
time the metal comes In contact with
the chemicals.

The feeding problem, In some Sec
tions, is quite as formidable In the
summer as In the winter, and this Is
particularly the case where the feeding
is largely done in the barn, which, by
the way, Is becoming more popular
every year among dalrymen. What
grains one shall use depends largely
upon the methods which Individual
feeders have found most profitable In
the past, but corn, in the summer ra-
ton, must be sparlngly used. The
stock foods or the concentrated grains,
purchased already mixed, ought also
to be handled carefully and particu-
larly so when little or no pasture is
given the animals.

How much money does the aver
age farmer of Crawford county
make out of a seasons work? We do
not mean how much net profit is left
at the end of the season, throwing in
the labor O. the farmer and his sons
in the fields and of his wife and
daughter in the house and poultry
yard, about how much profit results
after all labor is included at a fair
value and a reasonable return allowed
on the capital invested in land, i'm
provements, implements, etc. Farm
bookkeeping should be simple, but it
is important. All such questions as
these are discussed in The Iowa
Homestead, of Des Moines, Iowa, a
farm paper which we most heartily
recommend to the farmers of this vic
Unity and for which the Review is
glad to receive and forward sub
scriptions at a reasonable combina-
ton clubbing rate. The Iowa Home
stead has departments covering every
interest of the farm and employs g
large corps of able special contribu-
tors. The leading experiment station

write for it.

ALL AROUND THE TOWN.
The opera house was crowded f

The opera house was crowded tal
beyond its normal capacity last Satur-
day and even then many ticket holders
were obliged to stop outside and re-
turn to their homes. Not only was
the crowd a large one but it was
largely composed of little children
who would have been practically help
less in case of a panic of any kind.
The authorities recognized this and
made better and more extensive pre-
paration than ever before to avert ac-
cidents. Men remained at the engine
house during all the evening, the
furnace fire at the OF ira house was
extinguished early in the evening and
men were stationed on the stage in
the galleries and throughout the hall
for the sole purpose of a averting
panic and protecting the children.
In spite of these precautions it is our
opinion that had a fire broken out
in the building many would have been
killed and dozens more would have
been injured. The officers of the city
and of the fire department are how
ever to be sincerely thanked for their
forethought and faithfulness.
1t is needless to say, however, that
the opera house should not have been
thus crowded. The city should pass
an ordinance limiting the number of
people allowed in the opera house
and the ordinance should be enforced.
If the people could not be accom-
modated in one night the entertain
ment might we'll have been repeated.
1t was certainly good enough to bear
repetition. Denison is mighty
lucky, but the good luck may not last
forever. Some day the opera house
may go up in smoke and then our
capitalists will wish they had invest
ed in fre-proof building even though
it might be poor investment from a
financial standpoint.

ations of common carriers. The scene
on the day of Delivers speech will
probably become historic. The
crowds of people who vainly sought
admission to the crowded galleries
amply testified to the widespread in
terest in his activity. The rear of
the Senate chamber was occupied by
a great number of congressman who
came over to hear the eloquent Iowa
senator, and the Senate chamber pre-
sented scene which is of unusual if
not unprecedented occurrence. Dol
liver was at his best, and his periods
were never more glowing, his eloqence
never more fervid or effective. His
humor and sarcasm exposed some of
the fallacies and absurdities of oppos-
ing arguments, and his inexorable
logic shattered carefully constructed
theories. In poetic beauty and felic-
ity of phraseology some portions
of his speech were transcendent.
One portion especially quite en-
tranced his hearer, and one might
have heard pin drop at that inter
val. Today the report is abroad that
The court feature will be added to
the Hepburn Bill. Dolliver disclaims
any hostility to this amendment, and
it may be appended before the pas
sage of theb bill. The court re-
view feature has been the stumbling
block all along.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-03-08

Denison has large number of
churches and nearly all of them are in
flourishing condition. In spite of this
it seems impossible to arouse any
religious enthusiasm at any time or in
any church. The revival which
closed at the Methodist church last
Sunday was an utter failure from the
standpoint of conversions, although the
evangelist has great record for sue
cessful meetings and did his very
best. This failure is however,
but a repetition of the failures made
by practically all the revivals held
in Denison for the past decade. What
is the matter with Denison?
1t is not wicked town. Perhaps
that is one reason revivals meet with
no better success, because we take
a SNUG satisfaction in our comparative
goodness. Our opinion is that before
an effective revival takes place it will
have to be approached in a thorough.
lily business like way. Our people
have so many interests, business, So
citey, lodges, clubs and what-not that
it will require extraordinary effort to
attract superlative interest to raiigi-
GUS matters.
\ Our advice is wholly unasked and
gratuitous., but we give it neverthe-
less. If the church members of Den
ison want great revival in this city,
let them first quietly set their own
house in order. Let no man be able
to say TO any church member that he
is mean or stingy, or a hypocrite, for
that is always the first excuse offer
ed by the non-church members.
After this has been done let the
leading churhces join together for
a revival service. Let them employ
the very best man they can find. A
man whose reputation will arouse
curiosity if nothing more. Then let
modern advertising methods be en-
ployed. Bill the revival as if it We're
a great theatrical attraction. Join
that with personal effort to get peo-
pie to attend. Invite people personal
ly, go to their homes and get them
to accompany you. There will then
be no danger of other matters inter-
fering, because it would be the cen
ter of all interest. Other things
would give way to it, not from a
sense of duty, but because it would
not pay. There are hundreds of
people in Denison who in their secret
hearts are longing to be revived. "
But people are like sheep, there are
many who will follow but few who
wish to talk the lead. Let the ice
once be broken and not only can the
church membership be doubled but
a more profound spirit of Christianity
will prevade the entire CITY.

1t is a fact to be regretted that
business conditions throughout Iowa
have not been nearly so good this year
as last. There is apparently no good
reason for this state of affairs. The
crops were good last year and prices
have been fair to high on all farm
products. One reason can be found
in the unreasonable weather. We have
enjoyed the open winter. Spring is
at hand but we have hardly realized
that the first of January has passed.
The warm weather has been particu-
larly hard on the merchants handling
heavy goods of all kinds. They are
obliged to stock up in expectation of
the regular Iowa winter and there
has practically been no sale for their
goods. The farmers who in ordinary
winters have had nothing to do but
sit by the fire or come to town, have
this year been able to work about
the place all the winter. This should
make the farms in splendid condition
for the years work and the lessened
] cost of living should find people with

money on hand. While the merchants
have suffered and through them othe,
businesses, there can be no doubt but
that the state as a whole is richer to-
/ day than ever before and that in some
way this money will find its way int o
the channels of trade
Another reason for dull trade NAV
be found in the fact that high
priced lands have driven many of our
young and energetic people to other
states. 1t is not as a rule, the rich
man who spends the most money. 1t
is the man who is poor but ambitious
who makes Improvements and produces
business activity. Still another reason
for poor trade conditions may be found
in the almost universal distrust that
has come upon the people as result
of the many Investigations and sensa-
tions of the past year. Nc one knows
where the graft begins or where it
ends and the spirit of unrest extends
even to the small details of business
life.
Denison has done fairly we'll how
ever. There have been few business
disasters and these have been more
than offset by the improvements and
engagements. We believe the. good
time is coming and that 1906 will be
a prosperous year for all.
Nevertheless it would be we'll for
Denison business men to consult
earnestly as to some means of making
this more of business center and
above all to provide work for our peo-
pie all the year around This cannot
be accomplished unless our business
men are willing to venture, willing to
devote portion of their capital to-
ward enterprises, whether immediate
returns are in sight or not.

n: MOISTURE IN BUTTER =:

this bulletin. According to the con-
census of European authorities. we'll
made butter OF the best quality
should not contain more than 10
writer's can gather. most experts IA
vor a water-content between Is per
cent. and IA per cent. In this latter
deduction the analytical data OF but
tiers made In England. Denmark. Swe-
Cen. Holland and other European coun-
tries have been consulted. Water In
undue proportions results from fraud
or lack OF skill In the manufacture OF
the butter. but in either case the but
ter so characterized is held to be
ad~ulterated. AS regards h desirable
lily OF making butter IN Canada hav-
ing IA moisture content OF is per cent.
or over. there Ia no room for discus
sion. 1t would be highly injudicious
TO approach this percentage.
Two years ago we submitted to
analysis a large number OF samples OF
creamery butter made in various parts
of the dominion, and we found that
this butter contained an average OF
1928 per cent. water. We considered
this. from all points Of view. Il very
satisfactory amount, though 1t might
be brought up to 1876 per cent. without
injury to the butter. A higher per-
centage would mean n larger over
rum which. OF curse. implies n
larger return. but the probabilities arc
that the benefit would not be a lasting
one. for the quality of the butter would
suffer. and the trade-and particularly
the export trade-would be corre-
spondingly injured. 1t seems undesir-
able. therefore we believe. to adopt
any modification in manufacture that
would result in a butter with n water
content above 1875 per cent. AS AN
Illustration of the relation between
keeping quality and water-content we
NAV instance the New Zealand butter.
This butter is In excellent repute in
h British market. and the analysis
of n number OF samples made last year
gave an average water-content OF 1859
per cent.
The question of moisture content is
receiving considerable attention, and
we take this opportunity of impresslng
upon those i'm authority in Canadian
creameries that 1t would be extremely
unwisc for a present benefit to hazard
the loss of our reputation. We can
make first class butter with good keep
ing qualities. and the output from the
majority OF our crcameries is, and has
been, of this character. Any deviation
I'm the direction OF a butter contain-
ing more water would lead eventually
to loss and possibly injury to the but
ter industry that it would take years
to recover from.
