Gen. Brayton's death was due to compli

tanned August % The general fell while
moving about his Office and broke his
hip. The fracture was not considered a
serious one at the time. but as the age OF

ago, when symptoms of diabetes were
Noted, and death came directly from that
cause today.

Source of His Power.

Cen Brayton's political strength lay in
his ability to control the small towns In
the cities his power was SO slight as to be
really negligible. Under the laws of
Rhode Island each town and city has the
same representation in the state senate
the smallest town electing one senator
each year. while the largest cities have
no greater representation. BY keeping
closely in touch with conditions in the
towns and villages the general was able
to acquire desired influence. He had been

KEEPING MANURE IN WINTER
Its Value as Fertilizer Depends Upon
Manner of Its Distribution
How Handled.

(By A. D. Wilson. University Farm, st.
| Paul, Mimi
One of the important problems on
the farm Is to conserve as much of
the fertility as possible, and still pro-
duce good crops. 1t is we'll recog-
nized that one of the best ways of do
ing this is to feed the live stock a
large proportion of the crops grown,
and to return the by-product, manure,
to the land. This brings up the i'm.
portant question of how best to han
die this manure so that 1t will be best
conserved.
1t Is quite generally considered,
now, that the most economical way,
both as to the economy Of labor and
elements of fertility, is to haul the
manure direct from the barn to the
field. In the northern states there
are, of course, some days in the win
ter when 1t Is difficult to get the ma
nure onto the field. However, every
day that It is possible, manure should
be hauled directly to the field and
spread.
There are two ways by which the
fertilizing value is lost; the first is
by heating, and the second is by
teaching. If manure is left in piles
about the barn, 1t soon begins to
heat, especially If 1t contains large
proportion Of horse manure. When
1t heats, the manure is decomposed
and the element of most value, nitro
gen, Is lost in the form Of gas. In the
spring and early summer, If manure
Is lying about the yards where rain
:an fall on 1t, much Of the fertility Is
leached out and carried away. II ma
nure is spread on the field directly
rom the barn, heating is prevented
until the manure is covered up in the
'oil. Then any elements that are
liberated by decomposition are taken
Up by the soil and saved. When ma
1ure is spread out on the field, 1t dries
out; and, as the larger part of the
manure is in insoluble form, even II
It does rain on the fields, very little
fertility is washed out. because 1t IL
1ot soluble. t does not become solu
Bile until covered up in the ground
where it is kept moist and where de
composition can take place. Their
The teaching leaves the fertility in the
soil, where 1t Is used.
Considering these facts, and the
TACT that manure is handled fewel
times when hauled direct from the
barn to the field. makes it quite evi
dent that, from the standpoint o.
economy, this is the practical way o.
handling manure.

Trap for Bee Hive.

Some beekeepers use trap at the
entrance of the hive. This trap al
lows the workers to pass, but catches
and holds the queen when the bees
swarm. A new hive is placed upon
the old stand when a swarm comes
out. and the old one moved to new
place. The bees, not finding the
queen with them, return to their old
location and enter the new hive, sup
posing it their own home. and. as
they are going in, the queen is re.
leased and goes in with them; thus
they are really led to hive themselves.

DOCTORS ADVISED OPERATION.
DECIDED TO TRY GREAT
KIDNEY REMEDY

I want to tell you in few words what
your Swamp-Root did for me, believing
that my testimony may do some other sui
fering person great deal of good.
About six years ago, I was dangerously
i'll, consulted three doctors, all of whom
said I had kidney trouble. One of the
doctors analysed my urine and reported
that had gravel, and further said that
in order to regain my health and life, a
operation would be necessary. I did not
want to be operated on as I was afraid
that I would not recover. Someone told
me of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and said
it was reliable medicine for kidney
trouble, so I decided to try it and went
to Mr.. Rose, the druggist, at 1903 Central
Ave, Minneapolis, and bought bottle,
took it, noticed results and continued
taking it until was entirely cured.
Having been free from any kidney
trouble for over six years, consider that
I am absolutely cured and know that
Swamp Root has the credit.
I never fail to tell my friends about
your remedy, as believe it is the best Of
its kind. Your u & o Ointment is also
very good. We are never without jar
in our house.
