PRESIDENT TAFT
AND HIS CABINET

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 13.-
A sartorial analysis of President Taft's
may be permitted on
the familiar ground that clothes have
much to do with making the man
leads to some odd conclusions and
brings to light strange characteristics
not altogether obvious from the annual
reports of the several gentlemen.
President Taft, by way of COMPARE
son, doesn't seem to wear clothes at
all-not meaning of course that he
doesn't observe the conventions. 1t is
only that one doesn't have any impress
sion of clothes when his expansive fig
ure looms up in the doorway. One
has, rather, an idea of something very
big wrapped up in a more or less con-
ventional fashion with garments. Nine
out of ten persons who see the pres
ident every day are unable to recall
what sort of clothes he usually wears,
or any distinctive feature of them.
The only time he ever achieved an

MANY farmers are coming to realize
the great Importance of making and
using stable and barnyard manure, yet
a very great many of them still allow
a large amount of it to waste every
year.
In order to make a large amount of
manure mich bedding for the animals
must be used, and winter is the best
tine of all the year for bedding the
animals and saving all the solid and
liIuid excrements, besides transform
ing the bedding itself into a substance
which is in a condition for ready de-
composition when it comes in contact
with the damp soil of the fields
Straw, or other trash applied to the
land is worth something as a fertili-
ger, but its value is not nearly as
great as when after being tramped in
the stables and sheds or lots and
being mixed with the droppings of
the animals ne straw dUSoi I'D IAO
liquids and holds them and at the
same time the liquids start the straws
to decomposing, making both the bed
ding material and the manure itself of
greater value and saving much or
both that woMd otherwise go to
waste.
On many farms where wheat and
oats are grown only a part of the
straw stack is used during the year,
the remaining portion standing IN the
stack and gradually disintegrating and
the elements floating away in the air
to be permanently lost so far as the
farm is concerned from which the
wheat or oat crop was grown. This
straw was taken from the farm, and
it should be returned to the soil of the
same farm to supply the elements re-
moved in it's growth. The farmer Who
does not see to it that all of his straw
is passed through the stables as bed
ding and directly applied to the land
which produced it to supply elements
which it removed in growth will soon
and later he will find that it will re-
quire much labor and expense to re-
store the fields to their original fertil
ity. If every pound of the straw is

used within a few months after
threshing as an absorber Of manure
in stables and apploed directly to the
fields the keeping up of the fertility
of the soil is an easy matter. What
as an aid to making more and better
manure is also true Of corn fodder and
all other forage crops crowns on the
farm The wise farmer will see to it
that every corn stalk hauled from the
fields to the barn or feed lats is passed
under the feet of live stock to absorb
liquid fertilizers and to be broken
up for ready decomposition in the
fields.
During the fall and spring, when the
weather is mild and on mild days in
winter, much Of the live stock on every
farm is allowed the run Of lots, OFTEN
surrounding the barn and other near
by buildings In these lots much ma
saved. The first rain dissolves out
part Of the richness to be absorbed
by the ground beneath. Where the lots
are sloping or hilly the rains wash
away nearly all of the manure. If this
wash runs directly over the fields of
the farm most Of it is saved, but il
the lots drain into open bitches that
flow away from the farm most of it
is lost. The only way to prevent this
waste is to locate the lots where the
wash will flow onto some tillable por-
ton Of the farm. Some of it can be
saved by making the bottom of the lot
fences tight against the ground, so as
to catch and hold the manure washed
against them. 1t will pay to erect
barns and build lots on locations
where the manure wash of the lots
will remain on the farm. even though
the buildings are inconvenient dis
lance from the dwelling Many dollars
worth of manure VIII thus be saved
annually.
One of our neighbors has a dota-
ton of stack yards and open feed lots.
His straw is never stacked in the
same lot two years in succession. Each
stack yard includes about an acre of
land. %

come into the house, but not to insist
upon his doing so. Further, do not
stand and converse after the door has
been opened. II there is anything
more to say, go into the house and say
it. If not, the man should raise his
hat, shake hands and go.
Never quarrel or discuss private
matters upon the street; and if three
are walking together, never let the
third person feel out of the CONVEX
sation. Never let there be four people
walking in a row. 1t is not only con-
spicuous, but selfish. If man is with
a girl, he must always walk on the
outside or nearest the curb, and he
should never take her arm. If there
is a hard place to cross, then he may
offer his arm, on which she may rest
her hand or not, as she prefers. A
man never walks between two women.
Young girls should not walk unat-
tended on the principal streets of large
cities, nor should they become familiar
figures at stores where soda water or
ic cream is Sold One good rule to
bear in mind is never to be conspicu-

Exchange

Outdoor Etiquette

Etiquette for outdoors It sounds
like very simple thing, yet when one
remembers the greetings. the intro
auctions, the times when shaking
hands seems necessary or unnecessary,
the subject grows more complicated.
If a woman meets another on the
street, what does she usually do? Think
of yourself. Sometimes she will rush 10
her and kiss her-a most improper
proceeding; sometimes she will gre<t
her with a storm of questions and
block the sidewalk. This is true, isn't
it? But what should she do? you will
ask. 1t is just as easy to shake hands
gently and nicely, and while all the lit
tie politenesses are being exchanged
is it not just as we'll to step to one
side so that the other people, who may
be in hurry, are not blocked? And
when you are crossing the street and
come face to face with a friend or an
acquaintance, either bow with a pleas
ant smile or else turn and walk back
with you friend. Do not interfere with
traffic.
About the subject of handshaking,
too, there is much to say. Take the
proffered hand firmly in your own.
Surely we have all tried shaking hands
with people who offered the tips of
their fingers with about as much
warmth as a fish. If these unfortu-
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-12-13

their hand and hold it in the good old
way. If they be merely acquaintance
it is surely not necessary to shake
hands at ALL except when they enter
your house or you theirs. Should you
meet a friend who is walking with
some one else unknown to you, it is
better not to stop them unless you have
something important to say. In that
case, it is sufficient to keep them only
for a moment-say what you want
and then walk on. Under these cir
cumstances your friend is under no
obligation to introduce the third per-
son to you unless she wishes to do so,
and you need not shake hands. When
three men meet thus the stranger is
usually introduced, and as the rule is
for men always to shake hands, they
remove their hats and go through the
formality.
I should say here that a woman
never under any circumstances may
stop a man in the street unless he be
a very intimate friend, and never. in
any case if he be walking with an
other man.
A man who wishes to join girl and
walk with her shuld always turn and
never ask or expect the girl to change
her direction and walk with him. If
he should take her home, it is polite
for her to express some pleasure a.
having seen him and to ask him to

LAYING PLANS EARLY
FOR PONCE DE LEON DAY

81. Augustine. Fla.-Whilo looking
we'll into the future, the members OF
the Ponce de Leon celebration com.
mittecs are already laying plans for
the great 400th anniversary in 1913
and among the enthusiastic workers
IS Postmaster George A. Alba.
Postmaster Alba has recently re-
turned from the annual convention Of
second and third class postmasters
OF the United States and has secured
the pledge from the association that
its convention for that year will be
held IN st. Augustine during the dates
of the big celebration here.
In a quiet but effective way the
Ponce de Leon celebration commit
ices are working already for the great
anniversary celebration. Il may seem
well in advance, but It is proposed
TO make this celebration one of the
greatest i'm the history of the coun-
try and Il takes much time to pre-
pare for such a gigantic affair as this
is planned to be.
st. Augustine has the groundwork
for a browning success in the way
of celebration or exposition, the
very discovery of the country by
Ponce de Leon, and her energetic
men will see to it that this
celebration is success and credit
from every point of view.
