The Manure Spreadsr.

There are not many farm nipple
ments that will pay for themselves
more quickly than a manure spreader.
1t saves labor. but that is not the big
part Of the profit. Some men must
hesitate about a purchase If It means
only a saving Of labor. The use Of
the spreader means a great increase in
the efficiency Of the farm supply Of
III Some men cannot see this
point. They say that they get the
manure or the lanG and that is all
that is necessary. But It isn't. Ma
nure gives life to a soil even when
the application is light. and 1t is poor
policy to give one spot more than Is
needed while another spot Is left bare
or to make a heavy application to one
acre and leave another acTe without
Il We now know that it pays
to make the IN 60 ' e a rela-
lively large acreage. Director Thorne
Of the Ohio station has said that eight
loads Of anu per acre applied with
a Spreader have about as great eff
cheney as twelve loads put OF roughly
with a fork. Every foot gets a little Of
the material. and the effect is seen In
the sod that follows or the sod TO
which the manure is applied. Land
should not have a heavy dressing of
manur when other land in the farm
needs manure. Make the application
light and even. and only Il spreader
can do the work we'll. In the interest
of better SodS. which are the life of a
soil. add to the efficiency Of the ma
Dure by using Il spreader. Some farm
ing communities have learned this les
son thoroughly well. while others have
barely awakened TO ii.

No Other Disputes the Reign Of the
Popular Apple.
Whatever temporary allegiance we
may owe to other fruits in their sea-
son. the apple is the acknowledged
King. The orange. the pear, the plum,

but ii is only the apple that is with

Of a cool habitat in a well ventilated
cellar they will remain sound and eat
able well on toward the opening of an
other apple season. But they as well
as all apples must be well treated. An
expert pomologist has said that apples
should he handled as II they We're eggs,
and he Is not far from wrong. The
slightest bruise means the instant be-
ginning OF decay, and one rotten apple
can infect al entire barrel. Lovers of
apples should therefore learn that care
is essential TO the preservation OF fruit
and that the better they are treated
the longer the store will remain sound
and healthy to meet the demands made
upon it throughout the winter and
spring.

This ghost story was among those
omitted from Mr.. Stead's famous col

and when 1t was kept locked 1t groan-

In Tropical Waters This Queer Crea
ture Is At Its Best.
Few marine animals seem at first
glance to betray less intelligence than
the jellyfish. Up with the tide and
down with the tide, carried along by
this or that current, moving with the
eddy OF Il backwater hither and thith-
er, the ~jellyfsh has become almost a
synonym for helplessDess. Scientihcal-
ly, Of course, the popular idea of the
jellyfsh Is wholly mistaken. but it is
perhaps only in tropical waters hat it
Is found In the perfection of intelli-
gence. In the south Pacific round the
islands Of Polynesia and as far south
as the upper portion Of the North is

fish that not only knows where II

q sail which it can and does hoist or
lower at will. The sail, like the rest
of this curious animal. IL almost trans
parent; but, unlike the body Of the
construction, the sail IL a membrane
almost as bard as shell. Round about
the EllHe group the navigating fish is
often found with a sail measuring five
inches across. and 1t navigates the
shallow island waters with the skill Of
4 pilot. steering IN and out Of shaggy
places and avoiding distractions both
above and below the surface with IN
erring skill. Like Its cousins In home
waters, this navigating jellyfsh has
