USING City Manure.

Does i: pay 10 use manure at the rate
OF foriy-flve or fifty tons per acre"
This depends largely on the cost of
manure. In many instances the cost of
hauling far exceeds the first cost of
the manure. Some OF the manure used
near the large cities is had for the
hauling, while i, is the exception rather
than the rule tina; il costs more than
so cents a ton. AT this price or less
a grower can we'll afford to make
rather long hauls and to use the
manure freely. especially for such crops
as lettuce, celery. onions and other
crops grown BY intensive methods

oprsad Manure in Fall,


The old method OF keeping all the
manure produced upon the farm and
spreading It In the spring IL practiced
but little at present. says cores
pondent Of the American Cultivator.
There is a time perhaps during the
month of October when the average
farmer IL too busy husking corn and
getting ready for winter to stop to
haul manure out every day or every
few days and spread broadcast.
This method il very advantageous in
that 1t will give the horses exercise
thru the winter. It does not take long
each day and cuts out the task OF haul
ing manure continually for two or
three weeks in the busy spring season.
BY hauling as soon as 1t is made all
danger from heating Is done away
with and the valuable constituents Of
OF manure are saved. Nitrogen. one
of the most valuable constituents Of
manure. is often lost by heating when
it piles.
Carefully conducted experiments at
the Massachusetts experiment station
tend to show there is no loss in rich
ness when the manure is spread
broadcast In thewinter. A difference
is always noted for the better in this
method over the other way of waiting
until spring and spreading.
Even tho the Jumps of manure freeze
while in the field. 1t has been shown
that this is just what the manure.
needs. The action of the weather on
the various constituents is just what
is needed to make the manure more
valuable as n plant food.
The possibility Of washing is practi-
cally the only objection against winter
spreading. but applies only to hilly
land. With the exception OF these
very sloping lands 1t is found advisable
to cart during the winter In practical
ly all cases. 1t Is beneficial both as
saving of time and as a benefit to the
soil.

SOME fellow who writes for the east

to high pitch over the question
whether hogs Will always root. He
seems to have reached the conclusion
after a good dea, OF round about lAn-

use its nose for roofing purposes. Ev.
erybody knows that the hog Of now

Rabbits. no doubt. destroy more
newly planted trees than any other SIM
gle cause with which the tree planter
has to contend. In the western part OF
the state Jack rabbits are especially
destructive. and 1t IL beyond reason to
expect newly planted fruit or forest
trees TO survive their attacks unless
well protected.
Perhaps the simplest and cheapest
method 10 that Of wrapping the stem q
each tree with a strip OF building paper.
This costs but little. and is easily ana
quickly applied. Before going 20 the
field the paper should be cut in strips
vide enough to insure two wraps Of the
stem. To hold the paper securely In
place it should be tied in at least two
places with good strong cord Any Of
the ordinary building papers will With
stand the exposure turnout an entire
winter, and the following summer It
Will gradually break down and disap-
pear without having to be taken Off.
The cord will lose its strength and
break under pressure Of the tree al the
later increases In diameter The cord
has this advantage over wire tie. On.
less the wire IL removed, IN time Il
cuts and Injuries the tree very seriously.
To protect the trees against early at
tacks they should be wrapped At once.
II this work is delayed until later In the
| season, a. is often the case, many OF
the trees will be girdled that might well
be saved by earlier wrapping.

Kelvin Hotel at
Belfast Burned
Former Chicago Preacher and Wife
Fatally Hurt by Jumping from
Upper Windows.

BELFAST, Ireland, July 26.-Fire swept
through the Kelvin hotel today. burning to
death three employees, while several guests
received frightful injuries. Five Of the
guests were dangerously burned and others
are in serious condition.
Among those surviving. who suffered most
were the Rev. William John MeCauEhan.
for nine years pastor OF the Third -Presby-
terian church of Chicago. and his wife.
The McCaughans were caught on an up-
peE floor. and, in attempting to find an
exit through the Lall, were terribly burned.
Thesr escape through the usual exits being
cut off by the flames the minister and his
wife finally threw themselves from an up-
per window. Both struck the pavement
with great force, and when they were re-
moved to hospital 1t was found that the
skulls of both had been fractured. The con.
dition Of the two is critical.
DR.. McCaughan resigned his pastorate In
Chicago in May, 1907, to become pastor OF
the May street Congregational in this city
The fire burned out the interior of tn,
hotel The flames spread so rapidly tha
the three employees had no opportunity Il
escape from the building and many of tn,
guests were compelled to jump or droI
from the windows of their rooms. Severs
received serious injuries.
