Tho Value Of LIQUID Manure.

The liquids contain the richest and
most soluble parts Of the manure
the only parts. In fact, that are COM
pletely digested. The solid droppings
do not cause any quick growth. be-
cause they are not only low in nitro
gen. but what they do contain of this
element is not soluble, and thus can
not force growth at once. Nitrogen
is found in our fertilizing materials in
three forms-flitrate. ammonia and orr
ganic The first is the soluble form. in
which plants use this element. The
Others are changed more or less slow
ly into the nitrate or soluble form.
In ton of liquids from COW, there
are twelve pounds of nitrogen. AS MI
trate of soda contains 16 per cent of
nitrogen. the LIQUID manure is as strong
as a solution OF rs pounds Of nitrate In
1925 pounds of water If we consider
the potash in the liquid manure. a
barrel of water of forty gallons. weigh
ing S25 pounds, IL made equal in
strength to the liquid. would contain
about twelve pounds of nitrate of soda
and seven pounds of muriate of potash
While this would force crops II

of pouring out by the pailful.

WeII-known Old Settler Celebrates
Anniversary

WeH.NnoWn OIo Settler celebrates
Anniversary.
A surprise was given L. W. Ingra-
ham, at his home, three and one-half
miles west of Laurel, on Friday, 1t be-
ing the Goth anniversary of MIR. Ingra-
hams birth. His numerous relatives
and friends began to arrive
about 10 o'clock with we'll filed
baskets, and by 1890 bounteous
repast was spread upon tables
in the grove at the residence Nine
ty were present. No effort was
made to have the number present just
equal Mr.. Ingraham's age, but such
happened to be the case. The day was
spent with music, games and social
converse and was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present. Mr.. Jngraham's five
sons, John D., Of Gilman; w. %. and
Alex, of Laurel; s. G., of Montezuma;
and Alonzo, of Sac City; were all pres
ent with their families except the
last named, who on account of his du-
ties as marshal of Sac City, was I'M
able to be present, but was represented
by his wife. A fine easy chair was pre-
sented to Mr. Ingraham as a slight
token of esteem in which he is held.
Mr.. Ingraham is one Of the old settlers
of Jefferson township, having located
upon the farm, where he still lives,
nearly forty years ago, consequently is
known by everybody in the surround
ing country, and is held in the highest
esteem by all, not having a known
enemy in the world. notwithstanding
his great age he is still we'll pre-
served man and bids fair to live to
celebrate future birthdays. "A group
picture was taken Of Mr. Ingraham
and his sons, and another of the entire
assembly.

SUIT AGAIN on LICENSE
Jacob Neiderhau.er Dairyman Of City,
Defendant in Annual Case Brought
by City For Selling Milk Without
lieeoee

Jacob Neiderhauser, dairyman liv-
ing south of the city, who had con-
siderable trouble and publicity last
year because he neglected to take out
a city license, was arraigned Monday
afternoon before the mayor, charged
with the same offense. Neiderhauser
entered a plea of not guilty, and his
hearing was set for Thursday after
noon.
Mr. Neiderhauser claims he is going
to make test case Of the city's milk
ordinance. to see whether or not he
must have his cows inspected for
tuberculosis, and then take out lie
ense in order to sell milk. The test
case can not be brought too soon to
suit the city and the other dairymen
who have paid their licenses and have
been complaining because Neiderhau-
ser has not paid his. Mayor Ingledue
issued the warrant for Neiderhauser' s
arrest.

side. making twenty eix feet in width
OF roadway proper. leaving It a four
rod road twenty feet on either side.
Everyone knows that our roads and
grades are usually bare OF snow In the
winter time, while the grass Of tho
sides OF the roads often, by holding
the snow. affords good sleighing for
weeks when otherwise we would have
none. Also the grass at the Sides az
the roads keep the frost from going
out so quickly In the spring and we
have often good wheeling at tho sides
when the center Is almost impossible
and as the two rod road would be, as
there would be no room at the sides
for driving. Where deep cuts have to
be made, as Is often the case, two rods
| is not wide enough to make the road.
and just such places are whore at
times we need the greater width so az
| to be able to travel on the sides. as In
the cuts the roads often, in spring.
become regular quagmires as was the
Mann hill three years ago and the
, Kuhn hill this spring. In driving large
numbers of cattle. as 1t done more or
less all over the state, four rods Is
none too wide.
Many people now do and oil may
utilize the roadsides wherever they
might be utilized II they We're inside
the fence instead of in the highway
particularly where there Is not much
travel when the frost is going out in
the spring or during muddy seasons.
My own roadsldes have been moved
every year for twenty years and many
people in Kossuth county, are doing II
right along. and all may do 1t for the
hay growing in the highway.

INVESTIGATING WRECK
County Supervisors Hsv. Notified
Charles Dewey TO Remove His En-
CINE and Separator from Skunk Riv-
er-May Have to Build New Bridge.

A meeting of the county supervisors
was held today, with forenoon and
afternoon sessions, for consideration Of
the wreck Of the North Skunk bridge
one mile east of Rhodes a few days
ago. Messrs. Zines and Keene reported
upon their personal investigation of
the wreck.
The TRACTION engine and threshing
machine separator that went down
when the bridge gave; way remain UNI
touched and the board notified the
owner, Charles Dewey, to- remove the
obstruction at once, so that the struc-
ture may be rebuilt or repaired with
out unnecessary delay. Unless the or
der Is complied with in reasonable
time the county VIII do the work at
the owners expense.
Supervisor Keen Is of the opinion
that 1t will be necessary to put in a
new bridge. but after the wreckage is
cleared UP 1t may be found that the
old one can be repaired He says 1t
was regarded as one of the best of the
steel bridges in the county, and the
real cause of Its giving way has not
been fully determined as yet.
| 1t was found, however, that a sup-
porting steel post at the northeast
corner was forced outward at the toy
| by the immense weight of the engine
and separator combined; and this
caused that corner of the structure t.
sink. The separator lies on one of the
60-foot steel rails OF the bridge while
the engine is in the bed of the stream.
Mr.. Keen thinks that If Mr.. Dewey
had taken his engine across the bridge
alone and afterward pulled the separa-
tor across by means of a cable the &C.
cident would have been averted.

&c. B. Hutchins in Algona Republican,
To the Editor: I wish most siren
uously to dissent from the proposition
to decrease the width of our roads
from four rods to two rods or forty
feet.
With the rapid increase in automo-
biles all over the country, many of
them driven by careless, reckless and
even brutal drivers, four rods ds none
too wide for our public highways.
The proper way to work the roads
wherever practicable is to make a

wide with gutter OF five feet on either

The growing Importance of cotton
seed in the worlds industries is again
emphasized by the exhibit Of paints at
the recent Interstate Cotton Seed
Crushers' Association. which met in
