THE WORTH OF MANURE

: II the fertility contained 10 the
manure produced by one aver.
age dairy COW in one yoar was
purchased in the form OF com
mercial fertilizer, IL would cost
between S25 and $50. So a herd
OF twenty dairy cows brings the
owner $500 or 5000 worth Of fer
tilizer every year.
These are facts gotten from
chemical analysis and practical
experiment.
When every farmer realizes
the value Of manure, we will see
little Of II lying in piles under
the caves Of the barn, where it
is permitted TO heat, or the rain

Ask Mr.. d. W. Hochstedler
living near Osceola how barn
yard manure is appreciated on
his farm.
Manure may be scattered on
the land all this winter. II should
be scattered thinly and as even
ly as possible. Thin and even
spreading are largely the virtues
of manure spreader.

A LIGHT ATMOSPHERE.
Why Smoke Beats Down" When

Why Smoke Beats Down" When II
Leaves Chimney.
Its getting ready for a storm. See
how the smoke beats down Just as
soon as 1t comes out of the chimney
That's because the air Is so heavy II
pushes the smoke down before it has
time to rise"
One often hears this stated as fact
concerning that most generally talked
of subject on earth, the weather. The
speaker was probably right under
those conditions in prophesying q
storm, but be was scarcely right in
assigning as reason that "the air Is
so heavy it pushes the smoke down."
Nearly everybody knows it Is easier
to swim In salt water than in fresh
water. As salt water is heavier than
fresh water it is evident that the heav.
Ter the liquid the greater the buoyant
force.
The atmosphere exerts a buoyant
force upon the smoke from chimneys
in exactly the same way that water
exerts buoyant force upon a swim
mer. Therefore when the smoke "beats
down" as soon as it leaves a chimney
it must be concluded that the buoyant
force exerted upon it is relatively
small and that the air is not heavy,
but light
A light atmosphere, or, rather, 9
sudden lessening of the pressure Of
the atmosphere generally, takes place
before a storm. Therefore the smoke
from chimneys, If observed intelligent
ly, furnishes pretty good weather

Spinach Rich In Sulphur and Iron,
Pumpkin In Phosphorus.
The French have a saying that ''pars.
ley is broom to sweep the stomach
Lettuce is a nerve food. Radishes
build tissue and are rich in phosphor-
us and in iron.
Horseradish contains a higher per
centage of sulphur than all the Other
vegetable roots. spinach ranking next
In value. Spinach also contains large
proportion of iron.
A mayonnaise dressing with lettuce
is especially desirable for thin people
but for the overplump French dress
ing is to be recommended. The &C
ton Of vinegar on the digestive organs
however, is not to be considered The
acid of lemon juice is preferable.
While apples are a most excellent
fruit for brain building, which phos-
phorus aids in, the humble pumpkin
desecrated to the uses of pie and jack
o. lanterns. holds the prize. Pumpkin
rates 2.79 in phosphorus, while apple
is but As.
When in search for this special ele
ment take up a pumpkin diet. But as
winter squash would stand the same
analysis it can be used as a vegetable
in many varieties and thus the needed
phosphorus supplied. Cucumbers rank
next in phosphorus value to pumpkin
being 2.0S.-Vegetarian Magazine.

SUNG THEIR LESSONS
Geography Set to Music an Old
Time Teaching Scheme.
A PLAN OF YANKEE ORIGIN.

One of the Most Popular Airs In the
List Used to Interest tho Pupils In
Their Studies Was "AuId Lang
Syns"-"6onny Doom" Also Liked.
Singing geography was a popular
fad in the educational line in New
York in olden days, particularly in up
state school districts. 1t was of Yam
kee origin. 1t was never made part Of
the common school system Of the state,
but was taught outside the regular
hours.
A set of wall maps known as Pei
toms outline maps was used. There
were no names of geographical divi-
sions or places on them. The instruc-
tor would go over the map on which
the lesson was found, pointing out
with pointing rod the different coun-
tries. cities, rivers, lakes or whatever
might be the subject in hand, and at
the same time the name of each di-
vision, place or body of water would
be mentioned in song. The teacher,
usually a man, would lead the class
chorus as he pointed, and if the sub
ject happened to be political divisions
the song would run like this, to the
tune Of "Bonny Doom"

"Some girls may be green and easily

Just as many more can give their en-
ployers points on law. The girl that
came to my house the other day from
an employment agency knew more In
minute about the rights of employer
and employed than l would know in a
year. About the first thing she did
was to look out at that big hole in
the ground at the other end Of the
lot, where they are preparing to build.
She said:
"'If should break any dishes while
that building is going up you couldn't
make me pay for them
Il asked why not, and she informed
me that girl working in a building

to the insecurity they are allowed 500

at less than 500 may be smashed with
impunity. She gave me a printed ac-

who had thrashed that matter out in
court and had been sustained In their
contention for twenty dollar leeway

There were thirty-one states in the
Union when singing geography was in
vogue, and the pupils were taught to
bound each of them in verse. Cali
fornia was then the newest state, hav-
ing been admitted in 1850; was the last
on the list, and its boundaries were
thus defined:
On California's northern side vast Oregon
is placed.
Both Utah and New Mexico upon the east
are traced,
Upon its southern borders next may Mex
leo be found,
And broad Pacific's sparkling waves COM
pose its western bound.
In thirty-four stanzas set to the
tune of "BOnny Doom" the geography

All around Woodburn is the rich
est kind of gardening and orchard
soil and the development of a fruit
industry is only question of time.
TO accomplish this there must be a
more sturdy spirit of cooperation.
The business men of Woodburn are
enterprising and progressive and are
learning to pull together. They
have been able to see so far that
it is necessary to build and plant and
SOW seed as well as to do business.
When the 'cannery was built at Salem
many business men put out small
fruit and cultivated it or had It cul-

sufficient quantities to sustain the
