When Aims are a Mockery.

without Justice. aims are a mock
ery;'' said Professor Isaac Franklin
Russell, at the opening Of the seven
teenth annual session of the woman S
law class of New York University in
the Law School at Washington square,
New York city: IF we only grant
justice to the ignorant and laboring
poor, we can reduce our charitable
contributions one-half. Bread and
fuel, doled out by the millionaire In
DESTINATIONS philanthropy from his
store accumulated in fraud, only en-
bitter the lot of the poor. Decisions
of court cannot be bought and sold
as merchandise, a contract not to sue
is void, and a mans right to justice
is priceless and inalienable."
Professor Russell was for ten years
senior lecturer of the woman's law
class, and resigned recently to go into
private practice.

Maintaining Soil Fertility.

H. A. Davis tells Jersey Bulletin
readers that the stock breeder indiA
putably has a great advantage over
all other workers of the soil, in so far
as maintaining the fertility of his
lands is concerned; for he has the op'
portunity of returning in barnyard
manure the greater portion of the val.
liable elements of plant food consumed
by the various crops he grows and har-
vests. But this fact is no excuse for
contentment when the breeder can still
further improve his chances along this
line.
Barnyard manure, although unques-
tionably the best of all fertilizers, af.
fording as it does to a limited extent
all the necessary elements of plant
food, and humus in addition, is of all
the valuable assets of the farm the
one most Systematically and thorough.
ly neglected and abused In fact it
has never been perfect since it came
under the management of man, for the
reason that man has made of it, a
natural thing, an unnatural thing by
inJudiciously practicing the reckless,
wasteful, even shameful system of coz
tinuous cropping which naturally az.
hausted certain plat feed elements
of the soil; and the eel having BEE,
exhausted of these elements, the food
stuffs grown fre.71 such soil necessarily
became deficient in them, and so on,
the excrement of animals feeding upon
such food stuffs of necessity became
deficient in these elements also.
OF the valuable and exhaustible ele.
ments of plant food, phosphorus is
now the one most perceptibly deficient
This is true because nitrogen. potash
and carbonate of lime have to a great
extent been returned to the soil in
the stalk while phosphorus, which is
found mainly in the grain, has been
carried away and sold This same
element is deficient even when all
grains are fed to stock, for 1t goes to
the making of bone 1t is of para.
mount Importance therefore, that steps
be taken to replace this phosphorus
and the best and most economical way
to accomplish this end is to use the
natural raw rock phosphate, finely pull
verified, in connection with barnyard
manure. Every stock breeder should
have carload of this material in use
from one years end to the other.
BY sprinkling the ground rock in
the manure troughs each day, an even
mixture will be secured. One hun
dred pounds of phosphate to ton Of
manure is about the right proportion
Ground phosphate used in this way
will promote cleanliness, a most de
sirable condition about the barn, alb
sorbing all disagreeable odors; will
| absorb the ammonia and thereby pre-
vent the escape into the atmosphere
of a very valuable element of plant
food and will greatly strengthen the
fertilizing value of the manure BIZ

on dinner and evening toilettes, will

SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE
UP-TO.DATE
'ACRICULTURlST
WHY Some Hens do Not Paw.


It Is the commonest thing in the
world to hear men and women talk
about luck" in chicken raising. Some
people have good luck and others do
not, but 1t is a rare thing to hear the
people reputed to have good luck at
tribute their success to that. They are
actually of the firm opinion that hard
work and intelligent methods have
everything to do with poultry keep
ing, in spite of the almost universal
belief in luck. One good lady sat
down to weep because her neighbor
had a fine flock of little chicks early
in the spring while none of her hens
wanted to "set," but she would have
been in better business IL she had
been making it possible for the poor
hens to remain on the nests the neces-
sary twenty-one days. The filthy
straw In the old boxes was simply
alive with lice, and the hens would
have been eaten alive if they had tried
the Matching business.
The worst part of the whole bust
ness is that the believers in luck can
never be persuaded to reform their
methods. They are joined to their
idols and always will be. They don't
believe in luck when it comes to corn
planting and all other work on the
farm, but that makes no difference.
Some of the most thrifty farmers, as
thrift is generally defined, have little
frightened hens that scurry out of
sight In the tall weeks and pick up
chance living, lodging in and out
among the hogs or scratching in the
garden. On one farm it is considered
usual thing for one or the other
OF the men to come to the house with
hen hastily killed because of a
broken leg or wing, and a family
gathered about potpie or stew be-
cause the poor thing was trying to
steal a little corn from one of the
managers. When chickens are thrown
Violently out Of the barn by an angry
man, you may be sure of hearing OF
bad luck in the chicken business.
Another cause of failure is harbor-
ing all sorts of four-footed thieves to
prey upon the helpless fowls. At one
farm the little chickens were going al
the rate of ten or twelve every night
and the mistress of the house demand
ed an investigation. In two hours a
bushel basket was filled with rats
caught under an old barn and lumber
pile, and the men of the family be-
gan to wake up. They gave the place
a thorough going over, and in less
than two days the discouraged poul-
try raiser began to have good luck.
1t is probable that the cleaning IN
would never have been done for bene-
Mt OF the chickens, but the wise wo-
man pointed out that the corn and
wheat were suffering in the bins from
the pests, and in cleaning up to pro.
tect the valuable products, the poor
chickens derived great deal of bene-

Venice was at the time the city of

it was by no means contrary to the
spirit of Italian life that great lady

Owing to the Italian custom of
primogeniture, by which titles, and

daughters of noble house, as well
as to the sons, 1t was usual to give
these girls very much the same train

full of instances of women who were
called on to administer and execute
large affairs.
