Col. Henry Casson. sergeant,at.arms

the original check given by Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon a few years ago to
q book agent, and about which an In.

An agent visited the speaker and in.

something which Uncle Joe didn't
want, but bought. When the books
arrived Uncle Joe examined them and
decided at once that something had
been put over on him. When the agent
came for his money the speaker de.
termined to make him indorse terse
sentiment on books, 80 he wrote out n
check for $73. the amount due, and on
the back Of II he inscribed:
"Pay 10 the order OF Mr.. Blank, in

An invigorating BATH that is espe.

A toilet water that is both reviving

Spirits OF ammonia ........2 ounces
Sea salt .................b ounces
Boiling water to make quart.
! Put all in bottle and. shake thor.

rubbed into the skin with the hands.
For the stout woman OF middle age
Turkish and electric baths are valu.
able. the heat and steam and massage

but the thin one must build herself up
with olive oil, delicate food, rest and

For the rest. would advise all
women nearing their rubicon to cult

Of youth keeps the spirit young. and
it is a great provision for age to be on
friendly, even tender, terms with the
coming generation. Pray let them
practice the fascinations. too-the

the duty Of all women, whatever their
ages, TO wish to be admired and loved.

Difference In Maintenance.

You can get man to look out for
your horses and carriages for $40 per
month and board. and who will sleep
in the stable, says the Horseman. The
chauffeur demands 500 per month
and good quarters. Your stable man
keeps the rigs In shape at a moderate
cost, while the chauffeur runs up bills
for tires and various repairing that
give you sleepless nights until you get
accustomed to 1t. A man with posi-
tive income, or one who has to reach
patients quickly. or who can develop
his business by the use Of the automo-
bile, never laments when he installs
one or more. But the average man
who Is used to paying horsevehicle
bills receives severe jars on his nerves
when his experienced automobile man
comes for his monthly wages, and at
the same time exhibits costs Of re
pairs and sundry articles.

PRAIRIE DOGS.

We usually write our own ads, but
will let user Of Rough on Rats" for
determination of Prairie Dogs write this
one. Mr.. II. B. Mosely, ranchman, un.
der date Of Feb. 4th, 1911, writes as fol.
lows from Hill ToP, Douglas Co., Col
orado: He says: ~ have read your nd.
vertisement Of Rough on Rats;' It not
only reads good but it is good. ! have
been troubled twenty years with Prairie
Dogs; have used many so.called exter-
minators to no purpose. Not long since
! used a poisoned wheat, prepared by an
expert who had made ii a study for years,
but 1t did no good for me; they ate it, but
chirped for more. The Dogs were eating
up a field of corn for me; was at nv
wits end what to do; could only get
the small l5c. size here of Rough on
Rats. ] mixed it with corn and applied; !;
many. of them chirped no more; then
mixed it with corn meal and placed it
on days not windy, near their holes.
Rough on Rats is by far the best thing
l have tried, but l fancy l am using It
unnecessarily strong, or you may suggest
better way than know to mix or Use it

est lI5c) size; could you send me the 75c.

TO MANAGE NEBRASKA SOILS
Manure Should BE Well Rotssd Be-
fore Applied and Spread Evenly
In Light Layers.


while | was inspecting some land
In Scots Bluff county, Nebraska, last
summer | noticed that the majority
of farmers had large manure piles ly-
ing about In their yards. II was only
here and there that the manure had
been hauled out. l asked about the
reason for this and was told that the
sandy soils In that county become too
loose when manure is applied to them
and, in fact, that manure does more
harm than good in that section.
observed that the corn crop was very
small as compared with the crop in
Iowa, which was undoubtedly due to
the impoverished condition Of the
soils. Can the sandy soils In that
county be Improved? II so, how?"
1t is common opinion in the West
that manure is not good for land.
Farmers believe 1t causes 1t to dry
out and the crops to burn up. This
belief Is due to the fact that the ma.
nure is often applied. when not well
rotted and is put on in large quanti.
ties per acre, and then plowed under.
This method is often practiced in
more humid climates and often with
beneficial effects for the reason that
the manure Is usually much better
rotted In humid climates and because
the land is much heavier and the
loosening effect of the manure is bene.
fetal rather than otherwise, but the
most important difference Is that In
humid climates there would be sum.
Client rainfall to rapidly decompose
the manure In the soil and compact It,
while In western Nebraska there Is
not enough rainfall to decompose this
manure in the soil or to repack the
soil after 1t has been plowed under.
The result Is that the manure re-
mains In an undecomposed condition
In the soil for several years and keeps
1t In very loose condition. 1t has
been observed, however, that several
years after manuring when 1t has be.
come well decomposed and incorpo-
rated In the soil that the crops are
greatly increased Just as they would
be In Iowa soils. In other words, the
manure is Just as beneficial In west.
ern Nebraska as 1t Is In Iowa when
1t Is thoroughly decomposed and in.
corporated with the soil. In fact, the
western soils are more In need of
humus than any other. due to the fact
that there never has been large
growth Of vegetation on this land.
Extra precautlon should be taken in
the West to thoroughly rot the ma.
nure before being applied to the land
and then spread 1t on evenly In light
applications, not more than Is or 20
loads to the acre. 1t Is also best to
spread 1t on the land which has been
plowed rather than to plow 1t under.
II the manure Ia applied in this way
the soluble fertilizer elements will be
washed into the soil with the first
rain and the manure will also act as
a mulch to the crop and prevent the
blowing Of the land.
II these rules were observed by
western farmers. they would find ma.
nure just as beneficial as do the Iowa
farmers.
