over the center Of the jar. If there
are any mice in the closet the bait will
attract them, but just as soon as the
first mouse reaches the center of the
paper he will drop into the jar and the
paper will fly back into place again,
ready for the next conner. A trap ar
ranged in the same manner can be
used for the capture of field and har-
vest mice, which make odd and anus
ing pets.
A barrel covered with stiff brown
paper can be used for common rats.
but they will gnaw out unless the
barrel be partly fl ed with water.

Of handling ii. For the most econOm
Ical results manure should be hauled
direct from the barn as soon as 1t Is
made and scattered over the fields by
means of a spreader. In this way and
in this way only, can the full value OF
manure be saved, provided, of course,
enough bedding is used in the barn
to nicely absorb all the liquid excre-
ment the plant food of which amounts
! to nearly one-half of the total in the
manure and liquid eXcrement.
Carefully conducted experiments
show that the manure produced per
thousand pounds of live weight of the
following classes of farm animals is
valued at from $50 to $50 per head
per year The valuations given are as
follows: For cows 500; horses, $27;
sheep, 500: calves, S24; pigs. $50. This
valuation takes into consideration only
the actual amounts of nitrogen. phos-
phorus and potassium contained in the
manure from these animals, valued in
accordance with the present prices Of
these constituents in the form of COM |
mercial manures or fertilizers. 1t does |
not take into consideration the value
Of the manure as 4 human builder due
to its large organic matter content
From this 1t should be plain to any
one that the economical handling of
farm manure is one of the very i'm
)ortant factors in maintaining the fer
ility of our soils.

REUF IN THE TOLLS

A sigh of genuine relief goes up from the thinking masses of the Pacific Coast at the news from San Francisco, that Abraham Reuf goes to the penitentiary for a term of fourteen years. This brief term does not measure at all with the sum of this mans iniquity, but it does compel the conclusion that justice is not dead in the Bay City. And it means, further, that there is chance to duplicate, and trip licate the, viftuous judgment, time after time as he shall live through them. There is nothing by way of pity to mitigate the extremity of reprisals againgt this man; he was pitiless enough, God knows, in the long gamut of his offenges, to dead en any system of softness that may rise to check the conscientious en- forcement oi the limits against him his family is amply provided for for all time to come, and the application of the Mosaic principle fits admirably here, and henceforth Abe Reaf has no kick coming, tho it may take another sort of courage than that born of endless wealth to support him through the darkened years before hin.
 The long and foul history of his crimes against civic and social law has long since killed every vestige of compassion that might have been his, and his interminable, adroit and costly warfare in the courts has left him without stand. ing in any tribunal; he was con- demned utterly months and months ago, and the latest judgment is but confirmation of the pre-concept of his guilt; and the sentence, as far as it goes, finds instant and inn personal endorsement everywhere. Always with the reservation that fourteen years may not be the end of the chastening to be inflicted.
