The VALUE OF
STABLE MANURE.
Essential In Maintaining the
Fertility Of the Land.

The most universal byproduct of the
dairy farm is the stable manure re-
sulting from keeping dairy cows and
the necessary young stock says Colin
q. Lille. Scientific men have made
various estimates of the value of the
manure produced by a COW in a year.
They figured the value of the nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash produced
at market prices. Some of them have
told us that the manure from one COW
would amount TO as much as $25 per
year If we had to buy these fertilizer
ingredients in the open market in the
form Of commercial fertilizer.
OF course we practical dairymen
know very well that the immediate
manure from keeping dairy COW does
not amount to $50 per year. We re-
alize, however, that there is much
benefit to a dairy farmer from this
product, and, whether 1t is worth S25
per year or not, we know that dairy
farms as a general thing are getting
better every year.
Inc crop producing power OF IL IN
creases, and it comes largely from the
fact that the crops produced upon the
farm are fed out upon the farm and
the manure drawn TO the fields, thus
keeping the soil filed with organic
matter. which is one of the very essen
tial things in building up, improving
and maintaining fertility. A casual OBJ
server can tell in almost any commu.
nifty who are the dairy farmers. The
grain farm is gradually getting poor
er, while the dairy farm is getting
better.

This Is because turkeys are not

reason that he is usually the son OF

Do not use the same gobbler over

Cookery
polnts



A housewife has this to say about
prunes:
Seldom have found even so called
stewed prunes properly cooked abroad.
They should never be boiled. That
spoils the flavor. This is the way we
western cooks stew them: Cleanse
thoroughly, soak in water ten or twelve
hours, adding a little granulated sugar
when putting to soak. for, although
the fruit is sweet enough, vet expert
ence has shown that the added sugar
changes by chemical process into fruit
sugar and brings out better the flavor
of the fruit. After soaking the fruit
will assume its full size and is ready
to be simmered on the back Of the
stove. Do not boil prunes. That is
what spoils them. Simmer, simmer
only. Keep lid on. Shake gently. Do
not stir and never let boil When
tender they are ready for the table.
"Serve cold, and little cream will
make them more delicious. Added
just before simmering, little sliced
lemon or orange gives a rich color and
flavor to the sirup. Many housekeep-
ers think that II they pay a fancy
price for large prunes they secure fruit
Of better flavor, but the small varie-
ties are frequently just as sweet and
Just as finely favored"

fessed ne figured with Dean how
much the other members of the coun-
ell ought to have, and Baukus said
that he asked for $1,000 for his
share, and that at Deans suggestion
they went to Chicago and put the
money in a safety deposit box. Bau-
kus says he kept one key for the
box and Dean the other; that there
was an agreement between them that
the money would not be paid over to
Baukus until the ordinance was pass
ed and signed by Mayor KnOr,s. The
money was put in an envelope in
Chicago and marked contract"
Dean signed his name on the en-
velope and Baukus signed it.
Baukus in his confession said that
ne asked Dean how much money he
had to pay Tom Knots. and Dean
said that he would pay him ST. 1000 to
sign the ordinance. Baukus says
that the total amount of money he
was to get was $1,500, but in the
final dicker he accepted $1,000.
