When to Haul Manure.

Several Of the State experiment sta
tons have shown by their tests loss of
fertility in barn and stable manure by
the old methods of handling it, which
suggest the Importance Of daily or
weekly hauling and spreading on the
fields. The latest experiments made by
the Ohio station prove that when ma
nure was thrown into the open barn
ward and permitted to lie there for
five months before being hauled to the
field it had a value of $40 per ton.
When drawn directly to the field as
fast as it was made the value was
1926 per ton. When the manure was
sprinkled with ground phosphate rock
as fast as it was made in the stable,
thus preventing some loss of ammonia
the value was $5.1S per ton.
The claim is made that at least one
third of the value Of the manure is lost
as it is usually put on the land with a
fork and that ten loads put on with a
manure spreader 60 as far and do as
much good as fifteen loads put on in the
old fashioned, careless way.

real labor is performed After such
crops are harvested some fields receive
but little care and cultivation, and it is
seldom that manures or fertilizers are
applied, though the strawberry is treat
ed differently. Enterprising fruit grow
ers maintain that it pays to give black
berry and raspberry canes good cult
walton, and to apply fertilizers LIBERAL
ly, as the increased crop Of berries and
vigorous vines more than pay the ex-
pense. During periods of drought the
grassy rows of canes must compete for
moisture with intruders, and it often
happens that dry period sets in just
at the time the berries are ripening,
and when moisture is greatly needed.
When the soil is clear of grass and
weeds, and the surface of the ground
loose, the loss from lack of moisture is
greatly reduced

DOOR ARE PEOPLE OF JESUS.
Bv Rev. Orrin r. Jenl

BY rev. OII1u ~ "eAhs'
When Jesus Christ came to earth the
laboring classes were in pitiable con-
dition. False ideals had degraded the
great mass Of humanity. In Greece
and Rome the ideal was that man must
live for the state. He was looked upon
as a political animal. To be a citizen
q man must have two thngs-strength
of body and money.
The Son of God became poor, ana
one proof of his Messiahship was that
he nreached the gospel to the poor. lie
became a laboring man. AS the Car
nenter of Nazareth he taught the World
the great lesson of the dignity OF TOLL
Jesus Christ is still the benefactor
Of the poor. To turn away from MN
is TO turn away from prosperity, hber-
ty, life and hope. Jesus Christ IS on
the side of the man who is oppresseu
and who has hard battles to Tight

A crowd Of Russian farmers, the first
of this class of immigrants to arrive
at Philadelphia in any considerable
numbers, reached there recently on the
American liner Friesland, from Liver
pool. There were many who had
fought for their country against Japan
and who still wore the military VI
forms in which they had been dis
charged.
There were in all $50 of these much
sought-after farmhands, nearly all of
whom are members of the Greek ORTIZ
odox' church. Most of the immigrants
left last night for Illinois, Minnesota,
Nebraska and the Dakotas Though
illiterate, they are Industrious and
thrifty. The leader of the party stated
that, owing to the political and eco
nomic crisis, 100000 farmhands will
leave Russia this year for the United
States, coming principally from the
Dneiper and Don districts, the richest
farming districts of the country

He put out a hand to detain the pass

In the Path of WAR.

1t is one of the possibilities, and
even a probability, that the effect of
the recent service pension law will be
to take out of the soldiers homes many
old soldiers whose pensions, increased
under the new provisions, will enable
them to live at home, or with their re-
lations.
If this prove to be the case it will
make room for other veterans, those
who need the refuge provided for dis
abled veterans, but who, thus far, have
been crowded out. So good will come
all round from the new pension law.

FerttliZinE for Fruit.

The growing of fruit demands labor
at the proper time, and considerable
work is done before spring opens.
Where growers have combined to keep
insects and parasites in check the re-
suit has been beneficial. If the labor
and cost Of fertilizers must be consid-
cred it is safe to assert that fruit
growers derive larger profits from rasp-
berries and blackberries than many Of
them deserve, as it is only when pick
