The Only True Religion.

Men talk much about practical re-
ligion," but differ greatly as to what
it comprises. Many limit it to benev-
olent gifts and kindly ministries, or,
to public religious services. But it
is more. 1t includes a personal faith
in Christ, holy communion with God
and a pure life. There can be no real
and abiding practice of Christianity
without a renovated nature and a
sanctiied neutrality-suspicious..

gers College astronomer, when the

drove the dog into a closet and kept
him there until Fielding G. Lucas,
the health inspector, who was nearby
at the time, dispatched the Infatuated
animal. Although only a year old
the dog fought fiercely, and it was

yard. or Just after a heavy rain when
the ground is too soft TO do any work
I'm the field. In such cases II is almost
impossible to set the post firmly but
even in such cases this work can be
done very satisfactorily by packing
small stones in the hole around the
post. This work might be even more
effectually accomplished II the post
we're set In concrete which is a little
more expensive but will hold the post
more firmly than the stones alone. In
setting the post In concrete Il should
be tamped firmly as the hole is being
filed up. After the hole Is filed with
concrete the post should not be dis
turbed for several days so as TO give
the cement time to set" Care must
be taken TO have the post exactly
plumb all the time while the work Is
going on as It can never be straight
ened after the cement hardens. As
gate posts are usually much heavier
than ordinary posts and are therefore
expected TO last much longer than the
rest OF the fence, It is always well to
use thoroughly seasoned wood so as
to make the work as permanent as
possible.
Another method OF setting posts.
says The Farmer, Is by using two
large fat stones TO hold them In place.
The hole, Of course. must be dug
much larger and before # Is set In the
hole one stone is laid edgewise in the
bottom upon the side which is TO re-
celve the greatest pressure at the foot
Of the post. The post IL then set in
the hole, half filled with earth and the
other stone placed against the side Of
the post to receive the drawing weight
from the gate. In this way both
stones receive the pressure holding
the post firmly in position.

THE LIQUID MANURE.
Save II BY Cutting Up the Straw and
Using II as an Absorbent.

There is scarcely a farmer that has
not an unlimited amount OF straw left
over in the spring. II this straw were
used more freely and the animals
were bedding with bedding Of one or
two feet OF clean straw every day the
most OF the liquid would be saved,
but the straw alone is scarcely suf-
ficient. II the straw is used alone II
would be well 20 use a cutting box,
cutting the straw into half-inch or
inch lengths and scattering half a
bushel Of It under each animal twice
a day, and then bedding on top Of
this. In this way practically all the
liquid would be saved.
II you have use for the cutting box
for no other purpose than this the
expense Of such a machine should not
be to exceed sl5 or 500. and It can be
worked by hand power or with a small
engine Of not more than two horse
power and at a small expense you can
more than double the value OF your
manure yearly.
beseech you to take some steps to
save the liquid manure. urgently
writes Charles Vernon in Farmers Re
view. II is far too important a sub
iect for you to overlook. On a farm
carrying 20 COWS. four horses. so sheep
and ten pigs the loss Of the liquid
manure will amount approximately to
$500. You can afford to go to the ex-
pense OF s15 or 500 to save this.
It will OF course mean a little more
work during the year. but suppose you
hire a man and let him spend one
month cutting up straw or corn stover
for this purpose. In half OF this time
he would certainly cut up enough TO
supply you during the year, and this
expense could not exceed sSO Be
sides this, you will not only save $500
as outlined above but you will make
more manure, and you will convert
the straw stack into the best possible
shape for manure.
There is no question Of more I'M
portance than the saving Of the liquid
manure and utilizing the straw pile by
converting It into valuable fertilizer,
unless II be to see that your manure
is spread every day, as fast as It is
made. and see that II is spread on the
land evenly.
Remember that II is always best to
spread less per acre and cover more
acres than to spread heavy applica-
ton over a few acres
Il has been demonstrated that ton
Of barnyard manure is worth SO. You
can figure TO double your output every
day, certainly through the winter
months. and there is no question but
that the average farmer can make
more money by giving this subject a
little thought Just at the present time
than he can in any other way.
