APPLICATION OF MANURE.
Get 1t on the Land as Soon as Pos.
sible.

In order TO reduce the loss in ma
nure to a minimum, and also to econ"-
mize in handling it, the general aim
and practice should be to haul it di-
rectly from the stable to the field and
spread it at once. On the average farm
the following of this practice all
through the year would result in less
loss than any method that could be
pursued
The use OF rotted manure rather
than fresh manure is desirable in con
nection with many market garden or
vegetable crops, as it gives quicker
results and with root crops will give
a smoother and nicer product.
Manure should be spread as soon as
1t is hauled to the field. The practice
Of putting it in piles is Objectionable
because of the loss that is likely to oc-
cur. The placing in piles also involves
additional labor.
The manner Of spreading will de-
pend upon local conditions, but where
the distance to haul is relatively short
and 1t is desired to have it evenly
spread the manure spreaders will be
found serviceable machines.
From ten to twenty tons Of manure
per acre is usually considered fair
applications; but considerably more is
frequently applied for market garden
crops. Experiments have shown that
generally it would be far more profit
able to use about one-half the usual
quantities and to supplement it with
commercial fertilizers.

this not been his night to go to town
If he chose. He had chosen. He
would not have missed his chance for
good deal. But his dissipation had
been light. The boss never tolerated
much along that line. He had drunk

wealth of this already well-known and
fiourishing cattle ranch. OF course
he must drink return compliment

for the Three Bars, which he did and
sighed for more. That made two, and
two were the limit. and here was the
limit overreached already; for there
had always to be a last little COM
forter to keep him from nodding in his
saddle.
1t was a sleepy night, cool and soft
and still. He could walk his horse all
the way if he wanted to- There was
no haste. The boys would all be in
bed. They would not even wait up for
the mail, knowing his, Jim's, innate
aversion to hurry. Had he not been
SO drOwsy, he would like to have sung
a bit; but it required a little too much
effort. He would just plod along.

no light anywhere. A little short of
where the Williston branch left the
main trail he half paused. If it were
not so late he would ride up and give
them hail. But of course they were
asleep. Everything seemed still and
dark about the premises. He would
just plod along.

Terrible Itching Burning Skin Dis
case Now Quickly Cured

A purely vegetable external RENE
dy that has proven beyond all
possible doubt to cure the worst
cases of eczema and all skin diseases
can now be procured by all skin
sufferers. This remarkable remedy
is D. d. D. Prescription, the discov-
cry Of DR.. Decatur Dennis, the well
known skin specialist, and Is being
manufactured by the D. D. d. Co,
liz Michigan street, Chicago, III.
The demand for this remedy has be-
come tremendous within a short
time because people are just learn
ing that the hundreds of cures 1t has
made seem to be permanent.
Eczema and all diseases OF the skin
must be treated locally, according to
the views now held by the foremost
skin specialists and physicians; that
is YOU must doctor the Itch where the
itch Is. 1t is useles to attempt 10
cure skin disease by taking drugs
and medicines into the stomach. The
disease is not in the blood. 1t is in
the skin and only skin deep. You
must get at the seat Of the disease
and Kill the germ by making direct
applications to the skin.

CHANGE OF RIFLES TO BE

CHARLESTON, Mar. 81-The
government has decided to bring
back into use the Springfield rife
made in 1O3, and do away with the
Krag-Jorgeson now in use in the
State militia. Word was received in
the Office of the adjutant general
yesterday that one thousand of the
Springfield rifles would be sent here
and that they are to be distributed
officially Just as soon as possible.
1t is hoped that the new guns can
be distributed before the season has
advanced much so the troops can
have an opportunity to improve their
craftsmanship.
Those who know, say that a COM
p%arison between the guns shows the
Springfield to be much the better.

A Prevented Combat.

4 scene that was more than farcical
occurred in the house Of commons last
sessions. Two of the most respectable
members of the house were seen with
their coats off and with staid old po-
liceman standing between them.
The two had been downstairs to wash
their hands, and by some mischance
had changed coats. They went into
the house together. One of them, put
ting his hand into his coat pocket, pull
ed out an old briar pipe of very strong
flavor. 1t was not his. He looked al
the coat. also that of his neighbor, and
turning to his friend, said:
Excuse me, but think you have put
on my coat

nothing of the kind"

mentarian, this is your pipe; and II
