manure be so applied as to lessen the
chances of failure of this crop and to
reduce the bill for chemicals, Such
crops us onions, cabbage, celery, sweet
corn, cauliflower and many others con-
stitute a list from which many men
who are not truck farmers make a.
single selection upon which they rely
for ready cash at certain season. In
my own section, says writer In the
Country Gentleman, from which this
article is reprinted, the early potato
crop Is prominent on many dairy farms
and is regarded as direct method or
converting the manure pile into cash.
Opinion is divided as to the policy OF
direct application in comparison to
heavy manuring Of a small area Of the
siage corn or soiling crop, this to be
followed by potatoes the next spring.
Whatever the cash crop may be, the
manure to yield the greatest imme-
date return must be well rotted and
reduced to crumbly consistency. In
other words, the preparation OF the
manure for the crop is the work Of the
greater part of year, and its proper
management will require absorbents
for the liquids or the use Of pit, per-
haps both, and the pile should often
be forked over as heating and decom-
position progress. 1t may be profitable
to modify the character Of the bedding
by putting through n cutter q good
deal that would be perfectly satisfac-
tory in its coarser state in the stable,
simply in order to add to the avail
ability Of the manure for the specia.
use to which, 1T Is to be put. Manure
thus used becomes almost a cash prod
uct in itself. 1t requires special build
ings and special handling and, by the
time it is applied to the crop repre-
sents considerable investment Of en-
ergy Through the medium Of the
quick growing crop on which 1t is used

cents

WHY DO ANIMALS PLAY?
II 10 Important Part of Development In
Some Species.

Some Species.
Play and intelligence go together.
Dogs, cats. monkeys and apes-these
are the animals that we are accustom-
ed to rank highest in their ability TO
meet new situations with novel modes
Of behavior, and it Is in these animals
that the play tendency is strongest
Earthworms may play, and so may
mosquitoes, but we are rather accus-
toned to regard the activities of these
animals as more concerned with the
serious business Of providing for the
immediate demands Of food and drink,
says n writer In the Indianapolis News.
II IL only In those animals that have
long infancy that the tendency to
play Is strong.
Not many years ago Professor Groos
proposed TO explain play as natures
provision for the education Of the
young Of any species into the particu-
lar forms Of behavior that were profit
able for the mature animals. Play, he
said, is an Instinct. Animals do not
play because they are young. but AMI
mails have long period OF youth In or.
der that they may play. Play IN the
practice school, and ia the play activi.
ties these animals acquire the skill
that they will need when they are
grown. A dog when grown Will need

Buy Through Mail Order"
$50 long as people continue to hold
the theory that distance leads en-
chantment to bargain, just as 1t

philosopher, 'Just 80 long will the To-
cal merchants suffer for lack Of trade

It is not fed sufficiently to insure Its
proper growth. The food Of a COM
munity is cash. That's solid food,
but highly necessary to make com
munity strong and vigorous. Dollars
are easily digested. The community
appetite Is always normal, and II you
keep on shipping your dollars out by
money order or bank check to dis
tant points to, buy things. you could
buy right here at home with equal
advantage or better this town will
stay hungry and increase in gaunti-
ness.

continued, "that are so lean because
of this underfeeding. due to mail or
der competition, that their bones stick
out and are visible to the naked eye.
If you want to starve your home
place and stunt its growth so that
when It comes to mature age 1t Will
be as puny and slckly as a youth
who has smoked seven packages Of
cigarettes every day since he was
fourteen, just continue to feed the
towns legitimate food-the dollars

neighbors and they will reciprocate in

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
WHAT sILo WILL DO.

The silo Is not an experiment.
For thirty years It has proved to
be an economic means for stor-
, ing excellent feed.
1t will save 40 per cent of the
: feeding value Of the corn plant.
1t will double the value Of an
} acre Of corn.
1t will save labor in feeding
Z stock.
1t will make a big profit in the
growing Of beef.
1t will make possible the keep
ing Of double the amount Of
stock we now keep.
1t is in keeping with intensive
farm practice apd the proper
thing for valuable land.
1t is good feed for cattle,
horses, sheep and chickens.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL

The Lincoln memorial commission
has decided upon Potomac park as the
site Of the $2,000,O00 structure to the
memory of the martyred president. 1.
The principal opposition to the 20;
tomac park proposition and to a me-
mortal located entirely in Washington
came from those who favored the con-
struction OF great highway or boule-
ward leading from memorial IN
Washington to the spot ut Gettysburg
where Lincoln delivered his immortal
address. Through its extensions this
highway, it was contended, would rap
idly develop into a transcontinental
thoroughfare and become the nucleus
of national system of public roads.
Within the walls Of the sanctuary
which the architect designed are plan
ned three memorials for Lincoln, one
a heroic statue expressing his person
nlity, the others memorials Of his two
speeches, the Gettysburg speech and
the second inaugural address. The
statue is to be in central hall facing
the entrance which opens toward the
capitol.
