Home Fertilizers i.

It is essential to their ultimate success that the farmers of the South be impressed with the i'm portance of giving more attention to the saving of farm manures The convenience of commercial fertilizers, the ease with which they can be obtained (they can always be bought on credit, and the fact that their use requires little forethOught have led most of our farmers to forget or ne glect the home supply. Another reason why home manureS have been neglected is that ewing to the lack of intelligent care of them, the results following their use have not been satisfactory If much good has been obtained from them, it is usually reacedh only by their use in such large quantities as it is difficult to se- cure upon the average farm.
 We should be understood as opposing the intelligent and eco nomical use of commercial fer tilizers. Commercial fertilizers have proved themselves of great value and are destined to play even a greater part in our farm economy; but it is only when used as supplements to the home pro- duct that this will be so. In the first place, they are costly; and secondly, their exclusive use in stead of effecting permanent im- provement of the soil actually hastens the depletion of that soil of it's plant food. It is only when used with green manureS and barnyard manures that the most permanent improvement can be accomplished.
 The small value frequently realized from the use of ba rnyard manure arrives from the fact that it is not properly saved and ham, dled and the manure has lost the greater part of it's plant food. Barnyard manure may be re- aarded as just so much xegeta- ble matter. It differs, however, from the food from which it is

That Arkansas is one of the most rapid developing staets in the Great Southwest is evidenced by the statement just issued by Secretary Of State o. c. Ludwig. In taxable valuations Arkansas increased S47,000.00O. during the past year and the increase in taxes collected were S317, ,250. With this enormous increase an nually Arkansas will soon be one of the wealthiest states in the union.

ting it down vertically, throwing the manure in a pile behind. Wet again and cover again with loam. It will be ready for use in three or four weeks.
 The above proportions are for use with cotton. When the com post is desired for corn the quan- tity of phosphate can be reduced use only 50 pounds instead of 100 to each layer. Thirty bush els, or one two-horse wagonload, per acre of this compost will produce very marked results. When this quantity is used. it is best applied in the drill just prior to planting. If preferred. the rows can be marked off and the compost distributed in this furrow and then bedded on. Be careful, however, not to bury it too deep, especially on clay soils. It is safe to estimate that this quantity of such a compost will more than double the crop on poor land the first year. Thus the compost land can be rotated, and in the course of a very few years all the land will be perma- nently improved.
 Bearing in mind the suple mental value of the cowpea, it is Safe to say that 50 per cent can be added to the productiveness of the average 100-acre farm, and that simply at the cost of a few tons of acid phosphate and a little labor. With the compost | and with the cowpea at his ser vice to save and gather nitrogen for him, the average farmer is simply throwing his money away when he buys that stuff in com mercial fertilizer, for he could produce all his land needs on his farm. Economy should be his watchword, and there is no bet ter place for him to start than by stopping the waste of his nitrogen that is so fragrant throughout the South. The soil is the farmers bank, and the fertility stored therein by nature is his capital He can nomore expect to draw indefinitely upon this supply without ultimately exhausting it than he could eX- pect his check to be honored without making fresh deposits.
 The people of the South have been doing this for years, and their credit in natures bank is getting low. Every ton of hay sold from the farm the manure from which is not returned to the soil takes of S5 worth of fertilizer, cotton seed about S11, corn S6.75. This has been going on till the farm responds reluc- tantly to many of our drafts.
 We trust we have made the value of the farm manure suffi- ciently evident and that more farmers will give attention to

it is left on the barn lot, this loss
 increases to GA per cent. Put
 ting it differently, the same ma
 nure that when properly cared
 for, is worth S2.18 per ton, if al- lowd to remaln in loose heaps for twelve months is worth only 1 S2. When those heaps are un- covered the value falls to S170, and the unprotected thin layer at the end of that time is worth on ly S1.10. This is not the extent of the loss, for that portion of the fertilizer ingredients that is left is the least valuable, and what we have is really only the refuse of the formerly valuable manure. This tremendous loss from i'm proper handling easily explains why our faamerS find it neceSSa- 1 ry to use such large quanties of manure to derive much benefit from it. It will be observed that even when the manure is stored in a shed there is a loss. By covering the manure heap with certain substances it is found that not only can this loss be prevented, but that the stock of manure can be very greatly increased. A ton of ordinary loam will absorb 13 pounds of nitrogen, and if placed over the manure heap will prevent all loss of that substance. Sawdust will absorb 8 pounds per ton. Wheat | straw will absorb nearly 1 pounds of the nitrogen. The ne cessity for absobents brings us to the consideration of compost | heap.

THE COMPOST HEAP.

heap.
 THE COMPOST HEAP.
 By the compost heap the farmers is able to multiply his available manure many-fold We should remember that anything of vegetables or animal origin is valuable fertilizer if put in prop CT condition. The compost heap is the means of doing this. One ton of leaves contains 15 pounds of nitrogen, $ pounds of phos- phOric acid, and $ pounds of pot ash, and at ordinary values for these substances is worth nearly S3. A ton of straw similarly is worth S2. p, and sand dust S2.20. These values, of course, are based on their total composition. In actual practise it is safe to as- sume that half of their values are available. But it is only under going fermentation in the con- post heap that these values are available.
 That it will pay the farmer to give more attention to the com post heap has been repeatedly proved by practical trials. At the North Losisiana Experiment Station, Calhoun, La, the follow ing results were obtained: The land normally would produce IA of bale of cotton and z to 10 bushels of corn to the acre. By the annual application of 30 bnsh- els per acre of a compost com posed of stable manure, cotton seed. acid phosphate, and loam this yield has been increased to from 1 IA to 1-2 bales of cotton and 50 to 60 bushels of corn. The annual expense of applying this compost amounted to a little over S1 per acre.
 HOW THE COMPOST HEAP IS MADE
 Locate the compost heap in an old shed or build a shed with any kind of old material for roof. If the shed leaks some, all the better. Spread on the ground in a layer 10 inches thick 10 bushels of stable manure, wet ting thoroughly. Over this scatter 100 pounds of acid phos- phate or 100 pounds of high grade ground phosphate rock. Then follow with another layer of manure and phosphate, etc. Continue these alternate layers until all the manure is used up or until the pile has become in conviently high; then cover the pile, both top and sides with 4 inches of forest mold or good loam taken from the fence cor ners. If stable manure or mold is not available, use straw, leaves, or any waste material, even weeds. Be sure and wet all thoroughly. After the heap has stood from four to six weeks it should be worked over and well mixed. This is best done by beginning at one end and cut

Harry Schurr, 80 years old, of 397 At
lantic avenue, Brooklyn. who was ar
rajgned in the Fourth Precinct Court
today, was held under SO bonds to
keep the peace for six months.
At the request of Miss Elizabeth

ULtil a year ago Schurr. who is a
druggist, lived in Newark. He was
very attentive to Miss Wallack. After
he moved TO Brooklyn he thought her
attitude toward him had changed.
Miss Wallack said she received a letter
from Schurr a few days ago in which
he declared If he found she was ac-
cepting the attentions of others he
would kill her and her admirers. She
said he came to the house last night

let him in. He caused a scene, she
said, and she was forced to call the

GARMENT MEN
ON STRIKE FAIL
TO RESUME WORK
Employers Are Puzzled When
Promise to Return to Jobs
Is Not Fulfilled.

AS near as could be learned today
few, if any of the striking garment
workers In this city went to work to-
day. 1t was said last night that the
employers and the men had reached
an agreement and that as Il result
about 100 of the $50 men on strike
would go back to the factories this
morning.
ID. Druchs, of 162 William street, said
today: II agreed last night TO the de-
mands of the men and waited for them
to appear at my place of business this
morning. They did not show up, how
ever, n | am at a loss to know why
they are still holding. out
Herman Wasserman, another en-
ployer, said: II am willing to do all
| a TO end the strike, and awe made
all the concessions the men asked with
one exception. and that is on the line
Of work on which a raise OF 9 cents is
asked. l want to cut out this line of
work.
At the conclusion of u meeting held
last night al . Prince street, at which
were present representatives of the
strikers and the employers, President
SteiglitZ, of Local No. "a, gave out this
statement:
Even those firms whom we are strik-
ing against we are willing to help In
any way to keep up with their orders
at this time, providing they do NOT
place new orders on us. We viii do
this until closing time Tuesday even
ing. ] think by this we are acting fair
to the employers, and they should give
us at least a little consideration, We
mean to act fair, but desire the same
sort of treatment"
Mr.. Steiglitz said there We're only
five shops left in the city that were
nonunion and that the employees OF
these were represented at last nights
meeting and signed to join the United
Garment Workers of America.

BERGEN AND RECORD ON
SAME BOARD ROUSES TALK.

TRENTON, Jan. 25.-Among the APP
rave caused a great deal of gossip at
the capital today are those of Frank
Bergen, of Union. and George l..
Record. of Hudson, to be members of
Iidate the public statutes of the State.
Bergen is known principally because
of the fact hat he is general counsel
for the Public Service Corporation.
George l.. Record has a Statewide
reputation as the man who has caused
so much trouble for the Regulars
in Hudson county. He was the man
who brought OUT Mark M. Pagan. in
Jersey City, and helped elect him
Mayor. 1t two succeeding elections in
Jersey City Record and Pagan have
been repudiated. 1t is agreed that most
of the Regulars of the Republican
party supported II. Otto Wittpenn, the
Democratic nominee for Mayor. Record
always has been a thorn in the side of
the Hudson county Republican ma
chine.
But it is apparent hat the "Regu-
lars of Hudson county are to be well
taken care of by the Governor. After
throwing to Record this morsel the
Governor. it is understood today, will
appoint former County Clerk John
Rotterdam in place of Joseph J.. Cijesto

the institution familiar with the rec
ords. Thus the obvious impossibility
of questioning a manac will be evaded.
In Newark there will be 144 m
tors and they will be expected to be
through, with the district assigned To
them in two weeks. The entire dis
trict. embracing the Whole of Essex
county, will ~necessitate the employ
ment of $50 altogether. Supervisor
Smith states that in this district no
dearth of applicants has been felt. but
added that he could examine all who
will apply.
In the official instructions for the
taking of the census many queer rules
in regard to the classification of people
are set down. On the official blanks
there are thirty-two spaces to be filled
in. First comes the street, followed
by the house number, number of dwell
ing and family in order of visitation.
Then comes the name of the person,
and as families are to be enumerated
together the name column" is followed
by a column for the relationship OF
the individual to the family, such as
Son" head" wife, ?
Then follows seven columns devoted
to personal description, sex, race, age,
whether single, married, widowed or
divorced, II how many times; then
the number of years of the present

by the person.
In the next five columns the occu-
pations of the individuals are set down.
In his Instructions to the enumerators
Uncle Sam states very ungallantly that
"in case of q woman doing houseworll
in her own home, without salary or

his board away from home is accorded
