ONE CROP BELONGS TO LAND
Every Ton Of Manure Produced Or
Farm Should Be Conserved and
Returned to the Soil.

There is one crop that does not
belong to you. 1t belongs to the land.
When the soil gives you the grain, the
corn. and the hay crops to sell and
feed and take your profit, it gives you
al that you are entitled to. The
manure crop, the second crop, is not
yours to waste or sell-it belongs to
the land from whence 1t came 1t is
the balance due to the land. 1t is the
means which nature provided for
maintaining the fertility of the soil.
Your duty is to conserve every ton
of manure produced on your farm
and to return 1t to the soil in way
which will best bring about the con-
servation and increase Of fertility. II
you return it by the fork method you
are doing only hall your duty, because
half of the manure is wasted in leach
ing and evaporation and excessive
fertilization.
This is not treating the soil right.
1t Is not handling. the manurH right.
The right way is to spread the manure
evenly over the soil in the proper
quantities, so that every ounce of
manure can do its share towards
restoring the fertility whick the origin
al crop took from the soil This way
is the manure spreader way. 1t is the
only way the work can be properly
done

ALCOHOL TO REMEDY DISEASE
Medical Men NO Longer Place Same
Dependence on Liquor to Cure
Does Not Bring Health.

A great change has taken place the
bast few years In the minds of med
ical men regarding the value of alco-
hol as a remedy in disease. In the
hospitals of the United States its use
has been diminished one-half to two
thirds the past'ten years, Some hos
pitfalls have abandoned Its use alto
gether. Medical men no longer place
the same dependence on alcohol as a
remedy in sickness; some have en-
tirely dropped it from their list Of
remedies.
What has brought about this change?
Scientific experiments and studies
have demonstrated that alcohol does
not do what was claimed for it. 1t
does not bring health to the sick man.
It produces feeling OF health in sick
ness for the same reason that 1t
causes a feeling of wealth in poverty.
1t, produces mental paralysis, or a
state of partial unconsciousness. For
this reason the poor man, although
poorer, is less conscious of his pow
erty, and the sick man, even though
seriously i'll. is less conscious of hrs
condition. Alcohol tears down the
danger signals nature wisely erects
along the pathway of transgression.
Alcohol is not merely a narcotic poi
son, a deadener, it is also an irritant,
and as such does injury to every tbs.
sue with which 1t is brought in con-
tact Under it's narcotic influence the
injury resulting from the irritation Is
not appreciated For instance, alcohol
is taken to relieve in dyspepsia the I'M
pleasant symptoms associated with an
irritable stomach. While it paralyzes
the nerve terminals of the stomach,
and thus affords relief from the local
symptoms. it increases the irritation,
or aggravates the condition which IS
responsible for the unwelcome symp-
toms Naturally, when the narcotic
effect has worn off the abused and
much injured organ cries out louder
than before, and another dose is again
demanded to afford relief In this
manner the desire for alcohol is often
created and maintained. The person

Rv DIR. WILLIAM BRADY.

Here in America evolution is hasty.
And nature, always unwilling to hurry,
retaliates upon our wisdom teeth. Act
ual records show that the third mo-
lars, or wisdom teeth, are missing from
the jaws of AZ per cent. of adults. and
even the lateral incisors are missing
from six per cent.
The jaw is steadily receding with
the process OF the suns, and it is not
unlikely that the race will one day
be toothIess unless the Fletcheristic
doctrine saves the day.
Comparison of the facial angle of
various races of the present time and
study of the skulls of aborigines shows
the savage, and from the higher apes,
to the civilized races of man the
jaw recedes as the brow or frontal
eminence becomes more prominent In
other words, our masticatory power
decreases in direct ratio to the in
crease of cerebral or brain capacity

MODERN DAIRY STABLE
Ground Plan Given of $500
Structure in Kansas.
Building ls Considered Model for the
Average Dsiryman by Prof. o. &.
Reed of Agricultural College
OF That State.

You can build modern, two-story
dairy barn, large enough for Is to "a
COWS, for 5000 If you work on 1t your
self. writes Harlan D. Smith in the
Country Gentleman. The Kansas Ag-
ricultural college recently built such
barn. o. E. Reed, professor of dairy
husbandry at that college, planned it.
This barn is 80 by sc feet. 1t has
room for is COWS, box stall, 8 by IL;
bull pen, s by IL; feed room, IL
by IL; calf pen, IL by IS; and a
milk room, II by 10. The stalls are 8
feet wide and AZ feet long For Hol-
stems the stalls should be half foot
wider. Just now the dairy depart
ment, which has another much larger
barn, is using this one for a calf
house.
The first thing to think about in
planning dairy barn, Professor Reed
says. is this: Try to initiate, in your
barn, the conditions of early summer
outdoors when the cows are at their
best. OF course that is not easy to
do; but you can give the cows the
sunlight. fresh air and freedom of
movement that they get outside. And
those are the most important require
nents Of modern dairy barn.
This barn, being 80 feet wide. will
permit of the cows facing one another,
with an 8-foot feedway between the
two rows of stalls. The hangers are
feet wide; platforms for stalls, Az
feet; cutters, Is inches; and a pas
sageway back of the cows, feet.
Professor Reed prefers to have the
cows face the feed alley because it re-
quires less work tC feed in one alley
than in two. With the cutters in the
center, as they are in some barns, the
manure may be handled little more
easily, but feeding is more difficult
because silage, grain and hay must be
handled separately. Manure, on the
other hand, can be cared for in one
container.
The floor is cement 1t is finished
rough so that the COWS cannot slip on
1t. With plenty of bedding, no bad re-
suits have been experienced from a
cold floor. Cutters are from 4 to 6
