Every farmer should plan to have
as many animals on his farm AS he
can possibly take care OF, fora farm
| with many animals viii becomecich
] and productive because OF the sup
ply of manure, if it is saved and
properly applied to the land. Ex-
perience has shown in all countries
that this is the material for en-
riching all kinds of soil. Some
| chemical fertilizers, however, are
/ beneficial on certain soils.
Manure makes the earth loose
4 and mellow, allowing the roots and
air to come in contact with i parts
of the sold. After it has rotted il
enables the soil to hold moisture
in dry weather; it furnishes plant
food to the roots of growing crops;
it adds needed gerMs and causes
the beneficial ones already in the
soil to multiply, thus helping the
crop,
Barnyard manure is composed
largely of ground up parts of plants
and contains nearly whatthe plants
contained. The richest manure Is
made by feeding cotton seed meal
and other foods rich IN nitrogen,
Hay froA cowpeas and other le-
gumes, makes better manure than
from shucks, straw or grass. The
cotton seed meal produced from
cotton seed in Tennessee should
| all be fed to Tennessee animals,
and the manure returned to len
nessee farms. Gf all the solid and
liauid manure from the animals
fed on the cotton seed meal Was
saved, from 100 pounds it would
have the same valve RS fertilizer
as SO pounds of cotton seed meal.
Animals take from the food fed
them chiefly those substances that
are worthless as fertilizers, such as
starch and fat.
The farmer who uses cotton seed
\ meal for feed and saves his ma
4 nure, makes two profits.
/ The manure from different ami
mails is different in fertilMing
value, because they are fed on diff.
\ ferent foods. Manure from the
4 poultry iiouse is several times more
I valuable than any other. Whei
only the solid waste from animals
issaweA thefarm ers gets only abou'
half the fertilizer available. afthe
manure pile has no roof over it, the
1 raid destroys much of the fertillE
i inc yalue. Manure that has beer
4 exposed to rain for number OF
months, is often worth less thar
4 half as a fertilizer for crops rs i,

division of the u. S. G. ", issued |
en- address last Friday to the sons
of Confederate veterans over the
Volunteer State" ia which he |
says:
Much has been done and is be-
ing done by our noble mothers and
sisters ia making glad the last day s
OF our gallant and liberty loving
fathers who SO heroically went to
the front during the period of civil
strife from 1861 to 1865, and who
fought for the defense of their
homes and firesides, and for what
they believed to be right.
Comparatively little has up TO
this time been done by the Sons
of Veterans along any well defined
and organized line of endeavor.
1t is the duty and privilege of the
sons to see to it that only truthful
history cohcerning the civil strife
is taught in the schools of our
State. 1t is e fnrther privilege Of
the sons tourge not only continued
but further action on the part of
oar law makers in providing for
the relief of Confederate" soldiers
who need assistance, and.to coop
crate with the Daughters. of the
Confederacy in handing down to
the coming generations the true
story of the Confederate heroes.
"The last annual meeting of the
Sons of Veterans was held in Little
Rock, Arkansas, at the time of the
Confederate reunion late in the
past spring, and Tennessee was
scarcely represented at that great
gathering There is no question
in regard to the sons of. Tennessee

federate soldier, OF Of. his readiness
to assist in any worthy call that
may be made upon him. At the
same time, the sons of Tennessee
are sadly lacking in organization,
and without organization nothing
in the way Of a definite or practi-
cal work can be undertaken, and
unless we undertake something,
nothing wild besccomplished worth
the wEile.
"As the Tennessee commander
for the ensuing year, 1 will hold
myself in readiness to respond to
any calls that may be made upon
rae from any of the towns in Ten
nessee where the sons desire to Or

tant general and chief of staff,
NathaM Bedford Forrest, of Men,

Aas been dissolved and carried of
by water: some of the nitrogen has
been changed into ammonia, and
passed off into the air es a strong
smelling gas; and large part OF
the soil-loosening material has dis
appeared or been slowly burned,
for rotting is kind of slow burn
ing. If the mannre can not be i'm
mediately spread on the ground,G
roof should be put ever the manure

Compost heaps are piles of ma
nure mixed with other ,materialsv
such as leaves or cotton seed with
g sometimes phosphate added. Psr-
tial rotting makes the manure leee
coarse and makes it act more quick
ly on the crop. The same matef-
ials can be mixed in the furrows ia
the field, and when they rot there
the soil prevents loss. Moreover,
whenthe organic matter rots in the
soil it causes the soil touching it 10
"rot" too, that is, to change some
of it's compounds into substances
that plants can use as food.
Manure should be plowedumler

Fully three -fourths of the weight

In ton of manure there is on ~
about 25 to 35 pounds of the three
precious forms of plant food {, W.
trogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash J, or about as mach es is in zoe

fertilizer. The plant food in a tor

form of commercial fertilizer for
between $l.50 and So. Bute ton
of manure contains besides direct
plantfood, billions ofhepfulgepms
and about quarter of ton of Or
ganic matter, that isvery beneficial
in making the soil mellow endable
to hold moisture. These can NOT
beboughtin in commercial fertilizers,
whichincrease the crops chiefly in
the year they are used, while stable
manure makes the sol rich er fore
number of years.
If the farmers of the Statecou1G
be made to realize the value ct
barnyard manure to them they
certainly would take more care ia
saving and applying it to the soils;
10 wasteitis to throw away money.
If all the barnyard manure is saved
and used and all the vegetable met
ter on the farm turned into tbs
farm soil, very little additional sri-
trogen will be needed, and 1t is
cheaper to make nitrogen than 'te
buy it.
We are not opposed to the Nse
of commercial fertilizers, but we
do know that much money is wasts-
led by their injudicious use. When
our farmers understand the pract-
ical methods Of farming, they win
need to buy very little commercial
fertilizer compounded; culture and
economy of home supplies viii
make their farms rich.
Plants do not create anything
all the growing crops do not add
ONE ounce to the material world,
nor does the death and consump-
ton take away anything; they only

which the world would soon die.

MILLER VALLEY
 POWER LINE ASSURED

Sufficient contracts have been signed by Frank Dearden, represent ing the Prescott Gas and Electric company, to insure the building of the new line to Miller Valley, and in a few days actual construction will be under way. Forty places will be served and a desirable fea- ture of the installing of the ser vice is that a majority of the sub scribers will introduce pumping plants for irrigating and beautifying their lands The heaviest consumer in that section will be the County Farm, and through the new power a large acreage will be cultivated in grains and vegetables the coming season. The line will pass through the Home Acre trast.

COURT PROCEEDINGS
(From Sundays Daily.)

In the United States Court. yes terday. when the case against Frank Coon was called for trial, a sensa- sation was created by his attorney, Reese NJ. Ling. asking that the ease be continued for the term. which was refused. Mir. Ling startled the audience by stating that he desired to withdraw from the ease. Judge Doe then announced that the case would be called for trial in the af- ternoon at 1:3O o'clock. when further discussion ceased. An amended an swer to the complaint was filed, which contained the additional in- formation that the father of NIT. Coon. who resides in Los Angeles, was a very important witness in his sons defense, and his appearance was necessary in the court room. The motion for pOstpOnement was again revived. and after deliberatiOn, the trial was set for Monday morning at 9:3O o'clock.
 The accused man was indicted for sending obscene literature through the mails to Miss Winnifred Smith of Los Angeles He was given a preliminary examination at King man. in November. and mas been out on bail since that time. Miss Smith, who is said to have been the reeip- tent of the literature. is but 14 years old, and with her mother. Mrs. Rosa B. Smith, arrived from Los An geles yesterday morning. They were present in the court room.
 In the damage suit of the United States against the Grand Canyon Lime and Cement company, for tim Der taken from government lands, which was carried over from the preceding terms of court, judgment was ordered in favor of the defend ant company.

Twelve Thousand Acres Appropriated in Six
 Months
Gigantic Water Storage Enterprises Under
 Contemplation
From Tuesdays Daily)

Yesterday, before U. s. Commits sioner Moore, two land applications on homestead rights were filed, that of Frank Smith for 160 acres in Kirkland Valley, and of Phil s. Lentz for a 40 acre tract at Hum boldt. In reviewing the activity of the last six months in homestead and desert land entries in the imme diate vicinity of Prescott, Judge Moore stated yesterday that since the Interior Department threw open large strip of lands withdrawn several years ago, and embracing about 6S,OOO acres, ranging from the Jerome Junction section to the Mari cOpa county line, over 12,000 acres have been filed upon, either as homestead rights of 160 acres or des- sert entries of 320 acres. A sig nificant matter is that since the new entries were made and along the Agua Fria belt, especially, that domain is practically closed to fu- ture locations Over 5000 acres have been taken up in that section, and it is quite probable that during the present year thousands of dol lars in material improvements will be made It is currently reported that during the coming summer the actual beginning of gigantic water storage to reclaim several thousand acres will be under neadway.

LAW |S COMMENDEDBY
 SPORTSMEN

Anticipating the expiration, Maren 1st, of the Territorial law protecting antelope, Congress recently passed a a law, at the request of Ralph H. Cameron, Delegate from Arizona, continuing protection to these ami mals until March l, 1913.
 Section 10 of the law reads: Every person who, in the Territory of Arizona, shall hunt, pursue, take, shoot, kill, destroy, wound or cap ture, or have in his possession, any antelope at any time hereafter and prior to March l, 1913, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
 The passage of the law is gener- ally commended by the spOrtsmen and hunters of the Territory, who feared that the reckless slaughter of these animals of the plains and mesas would lead to their extinction soon after the lapse of the present Territorial law.

In the United States Court, yes terday, in the case of the government against Frank H.

Interest was also express ed in the outcome from the fact that girl of fifteen years Winnifred Smith, was the complaining witness, and who. with ner mother. Mrs. Rosa B.

It was the testimony of the girl that gave the accused man his freedom She stated on the witness stand that she could not pos itively swear whether the addressed envelope in evidence contained the obscene literature or not, and in view of this doubt, the ruling of the court was that a verdict of ac- quittaI should be returned.

Says Weaver DiggingS Are Productive
 This Year

Historic Weaver Guleh is again coming into prominence as a placer bearing belt, and the yield of the yellow dust this spring is creating renewed interest in that productive section. Yesterday, Sylvester Gooeh, a practical miner, who recently ar rived from California and took up a claim below Octave, reached the city, and had in his possession $1S7 in nuggets, which, he says, is a part of the yield from his claim that has been worked less than five weeks. He states that he is but one of many working in that section, and some heavy returns are to the credit of several individuals, while the major ity have made fair wages. He will leave today for Vevay, Ind, his home, and will return in a few weeks. to begin work on his quartz locations. situated about ten miles east of that place. MT. Gooeh states that more placer mining is going on this year in that famed belt than ever before, and he saw one nugget that weighed over $115, which car ried considerable white quartz, that added to its intrinsic value. He will be accompanied from the East by a brother, who formerly operated in Cripple Creek district, Colorado.
