TRAVELLING ON SLEEPING CARS
How to Prepare For a Journey and
Be Comfortable.

How to Prepare For a Journey and
Be Comfortable.
Preparations for nights journey
differ much from those for q days
trip. because the same articles are
not required; hence the selection for
the former must include comfort, and
to secure this one must have personal
experience or suggestions from some
traveller.
A long dressing gown-a thin one in
summer and warm one in winter-is
better than a night robe for sleeping.
1t Is a mistake not to remove all the
clothing when going to bed. but at the
same time one should be in condition
TO go to the dressing room If neces-
sary. SO wrapper fills the bill COM
pletely and is incidentally comfortable
Toilet articles resolve themselves
into box of cold cream; also either
some toilet water or saturated solution
of bOraX. The water to be found in
sleeping car toilet rooms is not only
lacking in qualities for cleansing, but
the basins are so abused by careless
travellers that very neat woman will
not care to use them. So with her
own cleansing agents she is independ-
ent A box Of toilet powder, a nail
brush and soap and a brush and
comb, with toothbrush, complete this
outfit. She must carry her own soap.
There is no greater danger Of contract
ing skin trouble than by using soap
that has been applied by others. For
use on trains a pair Of big soft gloves
is necessary to travelling comfort and
cleanliness. Wear these through the
night. because the CRIME and dinginess
that are rubbed into the hands through
long hours of travel and from contact
with the berth blankets are such that
it often takes time to get them white
again.
In the morning undergarments are
| put on in the berth, and then, drawing
on the dressing gown and taking the
| hand bag and frock, the journey Is
made to the dressing room, where
there is reasonable amount Of room
| to finish the toilet properly. Instead
Of wetting the face with water, it and
the ears and neck should be smeared
with cold cream. This must be wiped
off with a fresh towel. Another por-
ton of the towel must then be wet
with either toilet water Or boraX solu-
ton and the greasy surface cleansed.
This application removes all trace of
cream and dust. If the hands have
been protected at night by gloves they
will not need washing. and one is
saved putting them into a basin that
looks unattractive. On completion Of
the toilet woman may look as fresh
as though dressed in her own room.

Manure kept in sheds does not lose in

door where the manure is thrown ont
The spreader can be backed into tbis
shed and the manure loaded directly
on to it at seasons of the year when
manure can be spread directly upon
the fields. At other times the manure
can be thrown out into the shed and
left there until it can be hauled.

FIG. Wow FERTILITY IS WASTED.
if given time. Crops of weeds will
spring up. make a considerable growth
and die down and rot. In the course
of few years the humus supply will
be renewed. locked up elements of fer
tility will become available. and the
field will again produce profitable
crops.
If rotation is practiced so as to even
up the demands ON the soil. with
clover or some other legume to gather
nitrogen from the air. the soil will
continue productive for much longer
time. Even then it will not keep on
yielding profitable crops always. Com
mercial fertilizers may help to stave
off the day of reckoning, but after the
farmer has contributed hundreds Of
dollars to the pockets of the fertilizer
manufacturer he will find that even
this method of maintaining fertility
cannot be depended upon.
Keeping the Soil Productive.
There are three factors on which
the productivity of the soil primarily
depends-the amount of available min
eral plant food elements which it con-
tains, its physical condition and the
amount of moisture it will hold. Nj
trogen, one of the three most important
chemical elements in the SOIL can be
obtained from the air in unlimited
quantities by the use of legumes, such
as clover and alfalfa. The other two,
phosphorus and potassium. are present
in most soils in fairly large quantities,
although much of the supply is in
unavailable form. Good tillaga and
we'll planned rotations do much to
make these elements available. When
the total supply becomes low it can
be renewed by the application of ferti-
lizers. This is all, however, that fer
tilizers will do. They will not i'm.
prove the physical condition of the
soil nor increase it's moisture holding
capacity.
Ihe use of liberal amounts of clover
In the rotation will add to the humus
supply of the soil and so increase its
moisture holding capacity. Humus
acts ike a sponge. forming a store
p mouse for water that would otherwise
be wasted. Humus also improves the
physical condition of the soil. making

tanned by the use Of clover unless q
crop is plowed under at frequent in
tervals. 1t takes considerable time
for this clover to rot enough to form
humus. and the turning under of SC
large an amount of green matter a.
once is liable to make the land "sour.
This condition can be corrected by th,
use of lime. but this means trouble
and expense.
The Value of Manure.
The only way to keep the soil in thu
highest possible state of productive,
is to keep live stock and apply Thu
manure to the land. Barnyard manure
adds large amounts of the elements o
fertility to the soil. An average O
so per cent of the nitrogen. phosphorus
and potassium in the food eaten il
passed out in the manure. This per
centage is highest in fattening animal
and lowest in young stock. The ele

great economy, considered from fer
tility standpoint, of marketing grain
in the form of live stock. Adding fer
tiliZing materials to the soil. however,
is only one of the ways in which ma
nure is beneficial. 1t helps to break
down the unavailable minerals. 1t
adds humus, and this is of kind that
mixes readily with the SOIL Thus the
physical condition and water holding
capacity of the soil are improved even
more than where clover is used. In
stead Of blowing under clover it can
be fed. The resulting manure will do
the soil almost as much good as the
clover would if turned under Thus
both the feeding and fertilizing values
are obtained from it. By using regular
rotation with clover and feeding all
the rough feed and most Of the grain
on the farm the soil can be brought
up to very high state Of productivity
and kept there for an indefinite period
Of time.
In an experiment at the Ohio expert
ment station where manure was ap
piled every three years to rotation
of corn, wheat and clover at the rate
of eight tons to the acre the average
increase in yield was AT bushels of
corn, 1856 bushels Of wheat and 6S6
pounds of clover The value of the
increased yields due to the eight tons
Of manure was $17.32, or $217 per ton
| for the manure This was for manure
that was obtained in the open yard.
Manure that had been tramped down
in sheds where it was under shelter
had value of 1895 per ton in increas-
ed crop yields.
The results obtained on little rum
down farm in Pennsylvania strikingiy
show what can be done with manure.
This farm was so badly exhausted
that it would produce scarcely any
thing Dairying was introduced and
the manure applied to the land. After
few years Of such treatment and
without the addition Of any CONNER
cial fertilizers whatever the produc-
creased that an annual revenue of $500
to the acre was received from it.
The effect of manure continues for
a great many years after it's applica-
ton. Experiments with MANFRED and
unmanured land have shown that the
yield in the MANFRED plots was con-
! siderably greater twenty years after
the last application of manure was
made.

quently and in comparatively small
amounts. For the ordinary field
crops an application of eight tons to
the acre is sufficient at one time 70

evenly over the ground is much more
effective than that thrown about in
