Where to Put Manure III the Fall.

In spite of the natural advantage
of applying manure to land during
winter Or in the spring it always
happens that some farmers can new
er find time to haul the manure out
until September or October. We
know good farmers this year who
are in exactly this predicament. and
the problem as to where to put it
presents itself during the next few
weeks.
We have always claimed that the
ideal place to put manure where one
is rotating his crops is on the mead
ows and pastures. This is particu-
larly true during the winter and in
the spring. Even now, an applica-
ton to the pastures or meadows will
improve them wonderfully next year

Adel News: The wisdom of nom

Adel News: The wisdom of nomi-
mating Mr.. Cummins yet remains to
be demonstrated. 1t is useless to
deny the fact that much bitterness
has been engendered. Many re-
publicans have opposed the nomi-
nation, not from the dictation of cor
porations, but because they have
honestly believed that Mr.. Cummins
ought not to be nominated. It is
now up to Mr.. Cummins to bring
these men into line. If he can do
80 the party will go harmoniously to
victory. If he cannot do SO the re-
suit may be to its disadvantage.
Harmony is essential, and thus far
in his career Mr.. Cummins has not
been much of "a promoter of harmony.
As the nominee of the party for the
third term, it should be his effort to
remove contention and discord and
bring all republicans into line. The
chance is before him and it is for
him to improve the opportunity.

and will not hurt them in the leas t
his year for pasture purposes.
The stubble fields, however, us
ually get the application this time
of year, and we believe that the plan
of applying it there is a fairly good
one. If the manure is long and
strawy it should be applied before
the soil is plowed, because in that
case it will give no trouble next
spring when one puts on the cult
vators. However, there are num-
Der Of instances in the central west
where the cockleburs are now COM
ing on at rapid rate, and if time is
taken to apply the manure before
the ground is plowed the probability
is that many of the burs will ripen
their seed. In case like this, we
believe that it is an excellent plan
to put in the plows and let the ma
nure wait to be applied later to the
plowed land. This is by no means
a shiftless practice, especially if the
manure is somewhat short, because
the implement will work it into the
surface soil next spring.
AS general proposition it is US
ually advisable to keep manure near
the surface, because the tendency is
to leach beyond plant roots. BY
placing it on the surface, and thor
oughly stirring it into the soil next
spring its full value is utilized by
the crop. In other words, one does
not have to wait a year or two for
its effect to be felt, such as is some
times the case where long manure is
plowed under deeply.
A few loads of manure in the or
kchard will do good. We do not
mean that it should be placed around
trunks Of trees, but, rather, scatter
ed in circle under the branches.
This affords root protection and it
will supply root fertility next year
at a time when the tree needs it.
Some inquiries have been re-
ceived asking information about APP
plying manure to such crops as al
falfa and winter wheat, the idea in
this case being to protect these crops
against freezing and thawing. In
reply to these, we would say that
where manure speader is avail
able so that light application may
be made, it is entirely practicable to
put on seven or eight loads per acre
This application will benefit either
crop and will not smother out the
plants. However, the practice OF
putting on a heavy application with
a fork we do not advocate, because
a number of instances have been
brought to our attention where q
considerable percentage of the crop
was smothered out by the manure
where it was put on in large chunk:
as it were. Then again, light ma
nure will sometimes blow during the
winter when the ground is bare, and
in that case where it piles up the
crop is sure to be killed out Home
stead.

In the editorial Mr.. Perkins said;
"1n view Of what the party has

that has been established as to his

cannot truthfully say that it regards

The public in general and life
savers in particular should be warn
ed of the danger and folly of rolling
on barrel the bodies of apparently
drowned persons. This process has
never yet helped to resusicate,
though it has undoubtedly killed
many half drowned persons. The
idea that it pumps gu" tho water
is entirely fallacious. In the first
place, no water enters the lungs of
the drowned man until he has been
absolutely dead for many hours. In
the second, the removal of water
from the stomach is quite secon-
Diary consideration compared with
the importance Of re-eatablishing
the action of heart and lungs, and
rolling a body on barrel is about
the surest way of preventing both
heart and lungs from resuming their
normal functions. Artificial expan-
sion and contraction of the chest by
alternating stretching the arms above
the head and compressing the chest
with them is the correct first aid to
the apparently drowned, but never
can rolling on a barrel be anything
but deleterious.-New York Times.
