Importance of Manure Spreader.

The virgin quality of the soil OF our
western farms has not so far degene-
rated as is the case in the older set
tied portions farther east, but the time
is fast coming when every land owner
must look we'll to the fertility OF his
soil. Nothing can be of more import
ance to the farmer than this matter.
Fertility is the bank from which he
draws large or small crops, and, IKE
every other bank account, the drafts
will soon exhaust the balance unless
new deposits are made. Inc cnlel
source from which the western farmer
is able to supply valuable plant 1000 is

receive the greatest possible returns
in economy of labor, and from the ele
ments of plant life in the manure, is
problem that should interest every
farmer more than it does.
One may yet see much manure plea
in the fields This wrong method IS
still practiced to quite an extent
When manure is drawn to the HELD II
should be spread thinly and evenly
AS a rule it is APPLIED to thickly and
often in punches and unevenly. II
is better to go over the farm once
in four years with a light, even dress
ing of manure than to apply heavily
and get over the ground only at long
intervals. The old idea that II too
much manure is APPLIED for the grow
ing crop it will keep for the crop 10

kind of reasoning results in the loss

Manure cannot be applied IN just
the right quantities with the fork, ana
it is always left in coarse condition.
There is no way in which 1t can be so
we'll applied and so cheaply handled
as by the use of the manure spreader.
All kinds of manure, including ashes,
lime. land plaster etc, is readily dis
tributed by this machine. 1t is torn
to pieces and spread evenly and as
thick or thin as may be desired, ana

and is automatic; the driver from his
seat regulates the amount to be spread

is applied as evenly as snow can lail
in a still air. In this way the manure
goes twice as far as when spread by
hand. A man can, with good spread

loaded by hand.

against Mayor George B. Mcclellan

Is that the action Of former attor-

such action on the part Of the present
attorney general, who undertook the
suit at the request Of William R.

Chicago, March 9.--Traffic men
from every part Of the country west Of
Chicago are gathered here in con-
ference regarding transcontinental
rates. The general situation Is be-.

said, VIII be large numbers Of changes
in the rates and in the minimum
weights which will increase railroad
revenues in nearly all the territory. 1t
has already practically been decided
to make an increase in the minimum
weights allowed in carloads, which
will in itself materially increase the
revenue from freight cars.

voted not to accept the compromise
Of ten hour day and ten per cent
increase in wages Offered by the West

however, modified their demand and
now ask for q nine-hour day and q
twelve per cent increase in pay. The
original demand was for a Is per
cent increase and an eight-hour day.
General Manager J. q. Hurley of

the company would not concede to
the modified demand of the men, but
was willing to arbitrate, in the hope of
averting a strike. The men state
that they have yielded all that they
intend to and predict strike unless
the company grants the 10 percent
increase and time reduction de-
manded.
