USING THE MANURE.

1t has been absolutely proven that a
ton of manure is worth at least 50. 1T
has also been conclusively proven that
more than one-half of this value may
be lost if the manure is left out in
the barnyard o to six months.
Therefore, every load OF anu that is
left in the barnyard four TO six months
is a dead loss of 81 so. There was a
time when the farmer thought it was
necessary to nave the manur rotted
before hauling ii. This is the greatest
mistake that the farmer eve made.
Manure should be hauled out as fast
as it is made, or at least once a week.
Top dressing is coming into use very
rapidly. 1t has always been thought
that IL was well TO top dress meadows,
and this has been one for years with
good results. There has always been
more or less of a question as TO the
advisability OF top dressing corn. There
has been a theory that if the corn was
top dressed the corn roots would come
TO the surface to feed on this manure
and from a theoretical standpoint It
looks as if his We're true. but in actual
experience 1t does not work out in this
way. A series of tests have been. made
by hundreds of farmers IN Iowa, Min
nesota, the Dakotas, Kansas and Ne
braska which show that a greater yield
of from ten to fifteen bushels per acre
are gained by top iressing. Therefore,
theory must give way to actual expert
ence.

THE TUBERCULOSIS CAMPAIGN

state board of agriculture, looking to a
state law reimbursing owners whose
diseased animals are slaughtered by
state officials. is not h first action
taken by a commonwealth, says the
Drovers' Telegram. The Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station has been busy for
quite awhile and has achieved notable
results, as set out in the last annual
report of that station. The experiment
station work has been supplemented
by that of the state veterinarian and
private individuals, whose records are
not included in the compilation showing
Of the station itself. During the past
three years hundreds OF students have
been set to work and tuberculin has
been distributed by wholesale over the
tate. Tabulated results were sent to
the station, showing that the disease is
giving way to this treatment, as set

From the Philadelphia Press.

fIOUl lHS 4 IiiddttIIIid 1ItSSs
England's great military chieftain,
Lord Kitchener, has a pitiless con-
tempt for anything which savors of
effeminacy IN a man. This is illustrated
by an incident which occurred soon
after his return to England, from his
Egyptian exploits. He was ~accosted
by a young lord who had an annoying
zeal for collecting the autographs of
distinguished persons. Meeting Kitch-
ener. he gushed:
DO me the honor to pencil your
name on this. Lord Kitchener (produc-
ing a lace handkerchief,) and I'll have
the autograph worked in silk and keep
it forever in memory of the hero OF
Khartoum.'
Your sisters, presume" said
Kitchener, shifting at the scented
handkerchief.
mo, it's my own; a very pretty
pattern, isn't it?"
Very" said Kitchener, in a dry way,
passing the handkerchief back UNI

Why LIVING Is Expensive.

Prom the HaVerhiII Gazette.
Mrs. Ellen III. Richards, Of Boston, In
a recent lecture before the Teachers col
lege in New York answered the cry about
the increased cost OF living with these
words: THE thing that has increased is
not the cost Of living, but the scale of
living. The change is not in price at
which existence can be maintained, but
in peoples ideas as TO what are neces-
saries of life" Mrs. Richards has struck
a keynote that ought to set the sensible
teachers not only 10 thinking, but TO prun-

OF these there are 435 and with.
