sAvINa HEN MAnuRH

One of the best methods of saving
hen manure is to sprinkle the drop
boards with ground phosphoric rock.
This holds the nitrogen and makes a
better balanced fertilizer. BY moxing
from so to so pounds of the ground rock
with each barrel of hen manure it makes
one of the best and most highly concen-
ltrated manures available for the garden,
lawn and fruit orchard
In addition TO its manurial value 1t
possesses the addition advantage Of be-
ing free from weed seeds. As fertili-
ger for corn this mixture is unexcelled
and I have obtained excellent results by
using a small amount in the hill and COW
ering 1t with dirt before planting the
corn.
For the corn crop I am sure that IL
pays to add the ground phosphoric rock
to the manure. Some corn growers
claim that it does not pay to fertilize
the corn in the hill, bzut my own expert
ence proves that it does pay and l find
that this mixture hastens the maturity
of the corn that grow in my seed plot
and means the difference between soft
corn and a mature crop of seed that Is
hardened before frost-W. NJ. Kelley.

rRrn LAND N pAnAMA

This legation has received numerous
inquiries from American citizens request
ing information as to the procedure nee
essary to secure parcels of the public
lands of Panama available for settle
ment which would seem to indicate a
growing interest in the United States
in the development of the potentially
rich agricultural lumber and mineral
lands of the Republic. In view of this
interest, it may be stated that copies
of law No. 10 Of 1907, relating to the adj
judication of public lands. may be OBJ
tanned upon application to the "Tesorero
General de Ia Republica," Panama City,
for 25 cents gold. 1t contains the text
of the law in both Spanish and Eng
fish
The recent amendment to the land
law extending the right to take up the
public land to foreigners upon the same
terms as are enjoyed by citizens of
Panama does not appear in this text.
The amendment consists of an addi-
tional article, No. 9, which provides
that
Foreigners shall enjoy the rights con-
oeded by this law as well as the rights
conferred by the law concerning the ad-
ljudication of land;
and in the repeal of the second para
graph of article 6. in addition to pro-
viding certain conditions under which
timber and trees on the public land may
be used The law as amended would
seem to extend to citizens of the United
States an unquestionable right to pro-
cur parcels of the public lad of the Re-
public and good titles thereto.-Secreta-

HAVE you BEEN BEADING ABOUT

.
1 had no idea of the real conditions
down in Mexico until within the last ten
days. Maybe 1 was too much engrossed
with other matters to give my usual at
tention to affairs of this sort, but it is
all at once dawning on my mind that
there has been one of the most won
derful movements going on in our sister
republic ever known in history.
We had a fight with Mexico in 1S46 and
1s47, and some notable engagements in
which our troops came out victorious and
which gave our people a poor opinion Of
Gen. Santa Anna and Mexicans generally,
but have been going on ever since that
time with the general idea that Mexico
was doing like the most of the South
American states-fairly well, but nothing
big TO brag about
But find that $500, 100000 OF our Ameri-
can money has been invested down there,
and that Mexico's exports exceed 500. 900, :
O00 and that Mexico has debt of over
$500, 900, 900, which keeps her nose to the
grindstone" all the time.
! / find she has standing army of over
so, 0OO, 900 men, And I find she has de-
veloped in Francisco Madero one of the
greatest leaders known to modern times.
nave deem nearing OL OldA OH hAAC
time for 40 years and upward. / used to
see Minister Romero and his brunette
wife in Washington city very often, but
| it is only within the last fortnight that
have discovered what the real situation
down in Mexico has eventuated in.
Messrs. Roosevelt, Bryan and Taft have
been calling Diaz one of the greatest
rulers of his age, but they were grossly
mistaken in the man, because he was a
tyrant of tyrants, without mercy to his
own people. His mother was native
Indian, his father Spaniard. In the
year 1867 he doomed up as a soldier in
getting rid of Macmillan. He helped to
make Juarez the president of Mexico in
1857, over 80 years ago, but In 1867, after
Macmillan was executed and the
French army expelled from Mexico, he
revoIted against Juarez. Still Juarez held
on to the presidency until 1872, when he
died. Then Diaz seized the presidency
by force.
| Diaz married the daughter of a rich
Catholic and got money and his rivals
were all mysteriously assassinated. A
large number of prominent men were
taken prisoners, and Diaz sent out the
order, Shoot them red-handed," and
they were shot without delay and with
out mercy. One asked for delay of
ten minutes that he might write to his
wife, but he was shot instanter.i
Diaz had elections carried on for off,
Gals, but he always counted the ballots.
He and his pals owned the paper mo-
opoly SO when a newspaper was in
clined to criticise, IT got no more paper
on which to print the news. That is one
dodge that our ripe and ready Georgia
politicians did not arrive at. That sup
preston of paper stopped the newspapers.
Seven-eighths of the rural population
were driven from the lands they had in
herited from their forefathers.
Diazs crowd took it over at a nominal
price.
! Diazs wife is one of the largest land
holders in the state of Mexico Fifteen
million acres" is given in by various
land owners belonging to Diaz's crowd as
their individual properties.

rHE poTATo rrELp

There is no work on the farm that
will pay larger and more certain profits
than frequent cultivation of the potato
field before planting time. All of the weed
seeds that may have terminated win
be destroyed, and a better capillary at
traction of moisture is established with
the subsoil. The frequent working OF
the soil will make considerable plant
food available and the young plants win
take on a more vigorous and rapid early
growth.
We make practice of rolling our po-
tato field as soon as it is plowed and
going over lengthwise of the furrow with
light harrow so that the interspaces
between the furrow may become filled
with loose soil to prevent the evaporation
of moisture. After the field has lain a
few days the sods are cut with disc
harrow both ways and the field narrowed
with common spring tooth harrow until
the seed bed is established.
Much of the subsequent labor required
to care for a. crop of potatoes may be
avoided when the ground has thorough
and careful preparation before the crop
is planted
We grow better tubers when we plant
in check rows and cultivate both ways
The yield is slightly smaller, but the
tubers are more uniform and will grade
better when marketed. There is little real
economy in planting small potatoes for
seed, although some years they will pro-
duce fairly good crops of potatoes.

~ ~ CONVICTED grRs. INHIBITION
CONVICTED 81 mrs. NHFELTON

But there came time when one pa
triotic soul wrote a book, and told the
truth on Mexican tyrants. His name is
Madero. His father is rich and the
younger Madero was able to print his
book.
And it told the TRUTH And the down
trodden Mexicans revolted and Diaz is
now a fugitive!
He has sailed for Spain, where he can
live in plenty on his ill-gotten money,
but Mexico has put him out, let us
hope forever.
This Madero is a learned man; was
educated in Paris, and the book he wrote
is called "The Presidential Question
Diaz imprisoned Madero and it was a
mercy he did not assassinate him.
But Madero has lived long enough to
rid Mexico of the tyrant, and the poor
folks in the republic will breathe freer.
All at once the world has woke up to
the fact THAI Mexico has wrought out
her own salvation under the leadership
of General Madero.
Diaz is over so years old, and has ruled
long time, and there must have been
elements of greath strength in this blood
thirsty tyrant to work out his plans so
long and successfully.
OF one thing you may be sure, Mexico
will be better understood hereafter, and
If General Madero is the man 1 think he
is. a better day is dawning for the land
of the "Greasers," the nickname applied
to Mexicans.
1t seems a pity that Diaz should not
have shared the fate of some whom he
had caused to be assassinated.

1t is promptly declared that any pres

chooses. There ar nearly 100000 public
officials under his federal patronage.
1t is understood that SO out of every loo
are bent on staying in, and when near
loose, put money and time in the strug-
gle the chances are good that the presi-
dent can renominate himself.
The scheme does not always work, for
the Hayes administration was willing to
ELECT Mr.. Sherman, the secretary of the
treasury, AMI failed.
Down here in Georgia it was supposed
that every federal officeholder would
stand pat, but Mr.. Sherman only got
eight delegates; Grant six and Blaine
eight.
1t was Mr.. Blaine who turned the
trick and 1t was Mr.. Sherman, not Mr..
Hayes, who avs running.
President Harrison couldn't re-elect
himself. Mr.. Cleveland did make 1t
twice, but 1t was the Standard Oil and
national banks that took him in the sec
|ond time.
All our Georgia delegation elected in
1890 went to washington fighting ma
tional banks, but in 1892 they all, with
one exception. went over 10 Mr. Cleveland
and national banks A completer somer-
sault was never known in Georgia.
Mr.. Taft had Mr. Roosevelt backing

Roosevelt is "toting his own sckillet,
for the race next year. If the Demo-
Gratis can get the backing of the finan-
cial inerests and monopolists as did Mr..
cleveland they can make the trip.
Otherwise the nearly 100000 office
holders may put Mr.. Taft into the pres
