Manurs on ths Earm,

The cheapest Inc best means of add
ing organic matter to soils varies with
the different kinds of farming. On q
dairy and stock farm a large mount of
manure Is produced and ought to be
used for this purpose. Four factors
affect h amount and richness of ma
nure produced on the farm. They are
the age of animals fed, the kind Of
animal. the kinds and amounts of feed
and the method used to preserve the
manure Because of these different fac
tors 1t is very hard to draw conclu-
sions as to the amount Of solid and
liquid produced by the differ
ent animals, as we'll as the chemical
composition of it. The average Of a
large number of results shows that a
1,000-pound COW will void daily forty
pounds Of solid material and twenty
nine pounds of liquid. The average
analysis shows that in every 1000
pounds Of solid matter there are three
pounds of nitrogen 1.09 of phosphorus
and .s3 of potassium, while the liquid
contains s of nitrogen and 1892 Of
potassium.
Farm n is too valuable not to
care for it. 1t will add a new store of
plant food to the soil, combines with
the soil and makes some OF the in
soluble mineral plant food available,
makes the soil warm up earlier in the
spring makes the soil a darker color,
makes the soil hold more water for the
plants. improves the filth Of the sandy
and clay soils. increases the number
of soil organisms. promotes fermenta-
ton and supplies food to the organisms
which help to make plant food avail
able.

WESTERN FARMERS TO NEW ENGLAND?

An eastern publication notes that
there is an apparent actual movement,
small but signignificant," OF western
farmers toward the east. 1t says the
trend has been noticeable for some
time thru purchases By westerners OF
farms in New England and New York,
and concludes that the western farmer
is coming east full OF the lore Of agr1-
cultural colleges TO restore the worried
and worn out New England farms.
Nothing could be more mistaken.
The western farmer isn't going east to
New England. Some sales no doubt
have been made thru the stiff adver-
Using campaign put up by the New
York Central and other eastern rail
roads but the real west never sends a
car OF household goods back east IN
less perhaps some New England ex-
patria1e fnds the longing for his
birthplace stronger than his aversion
to thin soil and manufactured fertilizer.
1t would probably be hard to find in
the records Of Iowa railroad stations
where a single Iowa farmer shipped 10
a farm west OF the A~lleghanies. Som
of them are going southwest but not
many. None are going to New Eng
land. Thousands of them are push
ing north, northwest and southwest.
The fact is there is nothing 10 go
east for. 1t lacks the quality Of op-
p~ortunity. The average westerner is
ambitious. He wants 10 operate a
farm, not struggle over a stony patch
OF truck and 10 milk cows on a side hill.
He wants TO grow corn. feed hogs.
Even the fruit proposition strikes him
not as a business u as a gentle oc-
cupation for his declining years. He
neither inclines to pick up stone nor
= u out trees. What he hunts for is
80 without a stone or a stick on it
and he can still r it "out west
Perhaps when land in Iowa has
reached $500 an acre the Iowa arcne
may consider the extreme east; but he
will not leave the west until he is
crowded out and that will be a long
time hence.

brute? Why forsooth? There Is separ-
alton, which does not cut the cord. that
Is possible; and 1t may be salutary In
its influence in impressing him with
sense Of loss. There is the chance that
in time he will see his folly and re-
form: there is the opportunity to oe
Of service, and is that to be despised?
There Is the chance to aid him in he
saving Of his soul n since the ms
sion Of The church is the salvation OF
souls is not the church wise In IN
sisting that its communicates shall
order their lives to this end? The In
spiration Of life Is the hope OF redemp-
ton and yet in human affairs we have
the %effrontery and the s%elfshness n
are so lacking in charity, not to
wisdom, as to deny the possibility OF
redemption in another.
But What if he should not reform?
Then as to him there has been failure,
but as to the wife triumph. h Is
her reward for the patience. forbear-
ance, charity and u~nselfishness she has
exercised so frequently Is not given any
but her to know. But those n have
practised these virtues know what the
rewards are and that they are more
than compensatory. That they are
given is as true as that right triumphs
in the end and all wrong is expiated.
While civil governments innumerable
have broken down, the Catholic church
has continued thru the ages. 1t mas
taught from the beginning of Christian
civilization thai man must be ono
amous and so has largely by its own
efforts raised the ideal Of mankind n
the estate Of woman. For what n ls
today woman is largely indebted to the
influence OF the Catholic church as ex-
erted in the centuries elapsed since Its
founding. It could not nav raised her
to these heights if it had enslaved her
to brutes. and that it has raised her
testifies that in its policies is the
highest wisdom-best for her, for man,
best for society.

Get Manure on Fields.

There is often time. during the late
fall and early winter, to clean out the
yards says the Agriculturist of the
Minnesota experiment station, and
sheds before stock is put in for the
winter. Experience e to show that
there is less waste of the fertilizing
elements of manur when it is taken
directly to the fields from the yards.
When spread in the fall, remaining
frozen thru the winter, there Is very
little loss of fertility, M time is saved
in the spring in preparing the land for
a crop.
While it is advisable to pillow in the
fall, the land intended for corn, there
is often land that can not be reached
IN account of pressure Of other work,
and frequently a piece of land is re-
served for fodder or ensilage corn that
IS not plowed until spring. Such a
piece offers splendid opportunity for
dressing with manure from the yards
and also in fastening h spring work
by having the manure hauling reduced
to the minimum. 1t is a mistake to al
low the to lie in the yards from
carly fall until after the crop is in the
next season, or until it is harvested.
Economy Of labor and conservation OF
the manurial elements demand that the
manure be spread upon the land as fast
as il ~accumulates about the barns and
yards. This practice should be followed
so far as the growth of crops and the
climatic conditions will allow.

BANKING REFORM FOR EVERYBODY.

It is exceedingly difficult to arouse
interest among the American people
upon the subject of banking reform but
il is true. as Professor Laughlin said
before a convention in Kansas City
this week. hat il is of fully as much
Importance as the tariff or trust prob
lens because il affects more closely
the business and employment Of every
citizen.
Banking finance is somewhat tech
meal and not readily understood by
the layInan but bankers and students
Of finance the world over agree that
the banking system in the United
States is defective in lis inability TO
meet sudden and abnormal demand for
leans with which 10 care for expanding
business. Owing 10 the fact n a il
is stiff and rigid ii breaks under sever
strain and Ne have periodical bank
panics which depress business, stop
out OF employment.
Great difference OF opinion exists
as 10 the method 20 pursue 70 correct
the evil but something Should be at
tempted and that right away. There
IS widespread SUSPICION OF the Aldrich
plan OF a central reserve association
largely because it is the Aldrich plan.
We have seen how mammoth life
insurance companies have become the
spoil Of a Wall street coterie on the
inside while maintaining the form of
a policy holders mutual society and
we have a right to fear a nationwide
mutual reserve association which shall
have the exclusive power to issue bank
note currency.
However, there is no good reason
why sound banks should not be per-
nnitted TO put out their general assets
instead Of upon government bonds if
properly safeguarded. It has been
done in Canada and Scotland for a
and works safely and well. England.
France and Germany all have a system
of centralized banking organization
which is stronger in time of stress
than our own.
There is nothing any more unsound
in so-called asset currency or bank
notes without government bond secur-
iry than there is in a banks certi-
fed check which business men use
the ountry owe for large and import
ant transactions. Asset currency is a
tons OF s. and $40 payable to bearer.
In time Of panics the banks of large
cities band together in a clearing house
association and put put clearing house
certificates or organized bank asset
currency unauthorized by law. If the
law could authorize a similar system
which would include all good banks,
country banks as we'll as city banks.
we would have a system which would

THE TIP.
[Monticello Express.

Good for the drummers. they are
waging a war against the tipping"
nuisance. This is an inexcusable graft
imported from the old world where
servants are servile. In this coun-
try where men are expected to have
pride and self-respect it is a debasing
business, the accepting Of little graf
uities doled out like candy to a child.
The cost Of travel has been rapidly
advancing during the past ten years.
While legislatures have been pushing
down railway fares, city hotel keepers
have been raising their rates. 1t now
costs as much for a travelling man to
secure a oom in a city hotel as his
room and board used to cost, n in
addition the walters, bellboys and por-
tiers give scant service to those who
dispense no gratuities. The imposi-
ton has been growing more burden
some. The hotel keepers can cut a good
deal of it put If they are so inclined.

IN IOWA.

We heard a reliable man say a few
days ago that he knows of a piece Of
LAND in southwestern Iowa that this
year has netted the owner about 500
per acre for the alfalfa crop he has
harvested. Now If hat fact were used
as an advertising proposition to sell
Iowa land, 1t might offset in a meas
ure some Of the advertising PROPOSE
tons that are sent out by the boom
ers Of California and Florida as well
as all other states that are being
doomed to the sky. Blu hen what
is the use Of trying to get more peo-
pie to come to Iowa al long as there
Is so little land for sale and no chance
to get work for those who are not
able to buy land?

Soil Conservation.

OF what does soil fertility consist and
how is 1t lost? There are ten chemf-
cal elements absolutely to
plant growth: three of these come
from the air and make up 95 per cent
OF the plant tissues: seven come from
the soil and make up but 5 per cent
OF the plant. In practically all soils
four of the seven elements are found
in e~xhaustible quantities and but three
of these are liable to be depleted or
exhausted from the soil. namely, nitro
gen. phosphorus. and potassium.
Humus, or decayed vegetable matter.
tho not an element, is very essential to
plant growth, and is very easily de-
pleted to such an extent that profitable
crops can not be grown. DR.. Hopkins.
in his Soil Fertility and Permanent
Agriculture" states: Roughly esti-
mated, the plant food liberated from
an average season with average farm
ing is equivalent to about 2 per cent
Of the nitrogen, l per cent of the phos-
phorus, and one-fourth OF l per cent
of the potassium contained in the sur
face stratum (about six and two-thirds
acre inches or 1000, 900 pounds Of aver
age soil)."
If nitrogen, phosphorus and potas-
SUM are being lost so rapidly. how
can the farmer cheaply replace these
elements?
The only method that is practical to
replace nitrogen on the average farm is
the growing Of leguminous crops. such
as the ~clovers. alfalfa, beans, peas,
