ABUNDANCE OF PLANT FOOD.
Farmer Should Get II Into the Soil as
Fertilizer.

Plant food is one of the most profit
able things that the farmer can put
into his soil. If fertilizer OF any
kind put into the soil will bring back
its cost in increased crop, then the APP
plication has been success. But the
chances of additional returns are so
great that it should be the aim Of
every farmer to continually feed his
land. Farm manure is good, but farm
manure is not all that should be addde
to land, for the reason that farm ma
nure does not exist in enough abun-
dance to supply the needs of the land
We know of a farmer that cultivates
turns from it, But he makes it rule
to apply to his land only the manure
made on the farm. AS he keeps only
enough cattle for his own use and
only enough horses to do the work of
the farm, the supply of manure is
comparatively short. Yet he enforces
his rule of not buying fertilizer from
off the farm. He has been a great
cultivator and has tried to make cul-
tivation take the place Of both cul-
tivation and the supplying of an
abundance of plant food. 1t is true
that cultivation helps increase the
plant food in the soil, but to some eX-
tent it also hastens the burning up of
plant food in the soil by exposing the
turned up soil to the conditions found
in the dust mulch.

spokes firmly in the grooves previously
cut. There should be eight spaces be-
tween the points, as there are eight
spokes, and at the end they should be
24% inches apart. The points of the
spokes must not be sharp, or they will
sink into soft ground, and the dis
lance will not be accurate. Paint one
spoke a different color from the rest,
so it may be easily counted every time
it comes around. Push the wheel
ahead like a wheelbarrow. Measure
your field lengthwise, then crosswise,
multiply length in rods by breadth
and divide result by 100, which will
give the number of acres.
The machine complete is shown at
a. The axle, d, is made of one-half-
inch round iron threaded with double
nuts, to give the wheel fair play. Then
the side bars, C, made one by two
inches and three feet long, are put on
and the outer nuts screwed tight. Part
Of a broomstick handle, Is inches
long, is inserted between the side
bars. In laying out garden | know
by the following chart how much
plant. To measure one acre 1t will
take 20S 40 feet each way; one-half
acre will take 1471a feet each way;
one-third acre 1904 feet, one-fourth
acre 1O4$s feet and one-eighth acre

HANDLING OF GRAIN.
Hints By Farmer Who Thinks He
Can Improve on Present Methods.

Compared with former years, thresh.
ing is an easy matter. The wind
stacker and the self-feeder have great.
ly reduced the size of the average
threshing gang. The weigher and
sacker are each doing noble work. Yet,
with all these advantages at hand,
not more than half of us farmers
make such use of them that our grain
is handled in the most economical
manner possible, declares a farmer in
Home and Farm.
Threshing directly from the field is
often a great time-saver, as it saves
the time used in moving away the
sheaves. But it is in caring for the
grain as 1t comes from the thresher
where most OF us lose time. Ordi-
narily it is sacked and carried to the
granary, requiring five or six men. BY
using an elevator on the separator,
and two tight wagon boxes, one man
can easily care for the same amount
of grain. If no elevator is at hand,
1t takes but two men. Drive the
wagon alongside the machine and lift
the grain into the box. One man can
do this while the second unloads.
In hauling to market large box
holding 60 or 20 bushels is especially
valuable. More grain can be hauled
and easier without the expense or
bother of sacks, which are mighty un-
handy. A box with flaring sides, hold
ing 100 bushels of oats, was made for
us at a cost of $16.

ing winds and tie firmly to stake
as shown in the cut. The same plan
can be followed where any tree is
liable to be blown about by the wind.
Wrap several thicknesses of burlap
or an old rubber hose around the
trunk of the tree so the twine will
not injure the bark. In transplanting
large shade trees it's a good plan to
protect them for a year or two with
three such stays.

MEASURE YOUR FIELDS.
Simple Continuance Which Will Make
the Task Easy.

| have used a simple contrivance
for measuring my fields. 1t is much
better than a surveyors chain or tape
line, because it can be used by one
person. 1t is made of a small hub
and spokes a little larger than lath,
says a writer in Farm and Home.
Make them of such size that one revo-
luton measures exactly a rod. This
is done by having each spoke 3212
inches long.
The hub, b, is made Of two cir
cular pieces Of board one inch thick
and six inches in diameter bolted face
to face together, and holding the

The fruit grower should strive to
produce a better quality of apples, and
whoever packs them should pack and

grade just as it is, and also mark the

thing wrong the blame can be placed

rand GROWING Pear Trees.

The more rapidly a pear tree grows,
the more likely is it to be attacked
by blight. The reason seems to be
that the texture of the bark is so open
that the spores of the blight can get
an entrance with the threadlike
sprouts that are too fine to be seen by
the unaided eye.

The Creed Of Drones
and Derelicts.

Anarchism and socialism, commun-
ism and cooperation, seem to be ex-
pressions varying in intensity OF one
common creed. These shade into one
another and dance about one another
in the eyes Of the unilluminated so
that the best one can do is to snatch
at the common idea which runs
through all.
That seems to us, though impas-
stoned evangelists do not suspect it,
to be the eternal human dream Of liv-
ing without work. Ia the present state
of society man can live without work
only by sponging on men who do
work
The dream Of the social reformers is
to change the organization of society
SO as to remove this necessity, dis
agreeable alike to the drones and the
workers. By merely shutting about
the machinery of industry, they be-
lieve that they can manage SO that
those who hate work can escape it
without dependence upon workers.
Putting aside few high natures and
pure spirits, which soar into the
empyrean after the ideal, the followers
of this creed are in the main derelicts
and drones of varying degree. The
derelicts are unfortunate pers ons inn
perfectly equipped physically or mem
tally for the struggle of life. After
more or less feeble striving and more
or less hopeless failure, courage fails
them and they turn to social recon-
struction to- supply defects.of nature.
The drones are moral detectives,
without social conscience, individual
self-reiance or the natural human
aversion for dependence. They are
willing to eat and drink while workers
pay. to be clothed by confding tailors
or contemptuous charity and to find
shelter under any roof reared by self
reliant toll.
Their lives are passed in 9 delirious
trance of the mental and physical drug
they call meditation, from which they
rouse themselves only to beget chill
dren to be clothed and fed and edu-
Gated directly or indirectly by their
toiling brethren.
This creed in all it's varying express
sions is a disease of civilization for
x,arv oIu;n,,e ,ooeonEs The. e<onv, b,;@.
wholesome law of nature protects
present and future generations of
workers by eliminating the drones and
derelicts.
Having suspended this law in the in
terest of humanity, modern civiliza-
ton must pay for the indulgence of
sentiment by working to support unfit
survivors. Minneapolis Tribune.

New UIm Improvement League.

Several parties in New Ulm, promi-
nent among whom are Mrs. "A. j. Al
win and Mr.. Max Pfaender, have
talked over the matter of starting a
municipal Improvement league.
Such a project presents great posi-
bilities for the development Of our
community and should meet with
prompt and energetic encouragement.
It should have the backing of every
progressive aud public spirited citizen.
Other cities, and even many villages,
have organizations of this nature and
they are, almost without exception,
rendering wonderful services to their
respective communities.
To improve the city generally, par
ticularly the streets and alleys;
To prune the streets and keep the
boulevards and grass plots in perfect
order;
To induce lot-owners to improve
their grounds and keep them in more
tidy condition.;
To abolish public nuisances, such
as bill boards and signs, and to do
away with eyesores formed by I'M
slightly barns and inarsistic fences;
70 encourage the use of paint for
weather-beaten residences:
To preserve the natural scenery in
and about New Ulm;
To agitate for a park and boulevard
system in various parts of the city;
To encourage home gardening, chill
dren's gardens and public play
grounds
These and many other undertakings
might be made the homework of a
municipal Improvement league, and il,
the effort to start one the Review is
willing to offer every aid in its power.
Moreover it trusts the day will not
be far distant when such an organiza-
ton will have proved one of the most
material factors in an already beauti-
full city's perfect development.

FOR MAYOR GEN. BOBLETER.

AS the day approaches when the vo-
ters of the city must decide whom they
will have to serve them during the
coming two years, the Review feels
that the public is entitled to know
where it stands.
Ittherefore unhesitatingly declares
its preference for Gen. Joseph Boble-
Ger for mayor.
This preference is determined, not
by any dislike for his opponent, nor
by any lack of appreciation of that
gentleman's past services as alder
man, but simply because it believes
Gen. Bobleter measures well up to the
requirements of the position.
The Review believes him to be fear
Tess and independent.
It believes that he would be watch
full of the city's interests, alert 10. see
that the rights of all were protected,
out not obtrusive Or overbearing.
1t does not believe he is tied to the
strings of any interest or faction detri-
mental to the city's welfare.
1t knows that he will reflect credit
ON the Office in the eyes of strangers;
1t has faith to believe that he will in
sPire confidence at home.
It urges, therefore, his election at
One polls next Tuesday.
For treasurer, the Review is as I'M
qualifedly in favor of the retention of
che present incumbent, William Frank,
who during all the time that he has
been in Office has served the city we'll.
This applies, also, to Aldermen
Graft and Gieseke who are candidates
for reelection. In fact the Review has
all along nourished the hope that the
council as constituted a year ago, with
Mr.. Eibner at it's head, might continue
Tor another term. It proved itself, be-

city has ever had and the city could
not do otherwise than profit by it's re-
