Till Deep for Alfalfa.

We have about come TO the conclu-

BURNING OUT LARGE STUMPS

FRESH AND 9OTTED MANURES
Careful study Of the Effects OF Both
Will Determine Which Is Best
TO Be Used.
nv n II

'Ea 49,
There seems to be a difference G?
opinion as to the value and use OF
fresh and well-rotted manure. Al
most all authors on gardening recon
mend the use of "Well-rOtted' manure
for all plants.
That well-rOtted manure is the
safest and best for immediate results
in general farm and garden practice is
admitted.
But large quantities Of this fertilizer
are difficult to ecure, while fresh
manur is plentiful and may be Sc
cured at all times. Beside. manure
which has rotted in heaps, unless
properly handled. has lost a large
share of its best fertilizing properties.
The greatest objection to the use of
fresh m for immediate plant
growth is that it burns the crop I'M
less the growing season is very wet.
This. too, will De admitted is the
the use Of fresh manure arise from
improper methods Of applying the
anu and the working of the soil
after the application
Fresh manure may or may not heat
in the soil and injure plants accord
ing to the way ii is worked in the
soil. Fresh manure of course under
goes decomposition and produces heat
IN the process and the more of it
there is in ~ place the more heat
there will be given off.
Then to overcome the bad effects
Of the heat to growing plants fresh
manure should be Well scattered and

The soil should be deeply narrowed
and disEcd. or both. so that all the
manure is thoroughly incorporated
with the soil PARTICLES, leaving a uni
form mixture. Then the decomposi-
ton will be slow, hence a less amount
Of heat evolved.

Curing of Meats.

Among a good many farmers the
right curing OF farm meats has become
almost a lost art. II is a real pleasure
to visit n of those old-time farms
which produce something of every
thing. cattle. sheep, hogs and, of
course, fowls. The delight of sausage,
making and trying out lard and smo-
king the shoulders and hams and put
ting meat down in brine will always
live in the mind of the boy on tue
farm who has helped at such work.

Lydia T. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound We can
furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable

Women who are suffering with some form of female

We are too nearly infatuated with self
satisfaction, too well satisfied with our
present condition to make heroic efforts
for our betterment. Having all mater
ial necessities, we are too careless OF
mental and moral accomplishments.
But there are evidences of great moral
awakening and reaction, from which we
have good reason to expect great, per-
manent and wonderfully beneficial re-
suits.
Our one great remedy is noble citi-
zenship; and that is produced by intel
lectual, moral and spiritual culture for
old and young-especially the young.
Whether we stand or fall depends on
this one thing, whether we serve God or
the devil; that fact is basal and eternal.
An universal obedience to the Diety
would mean good will, good deeds, con
cord, union, power and permanency;
but universal vassalage to the devil
would mean strife, discord, disintegra-
ton, decay and ruin, for be is the arch
spirit of all these. General and contin-
ued irreverance TO, G9d and things sa-
cred would blight and t.4mn any nation
that exists, or ever shall exist.
