CARE OF MANURE IN WINTER
One Of Most Important Problems on
Farm Is to Conserve Fertility and
Produce Good Crops.
(By PROF. "A. D. wILsoN,)

(By PROF. A. D. wILSON.)
One of the most important problems
on the farm is to conserve as much of
the fertility as possible and still pro-
duce good crops. It is we'll recognized
that n of the best ways of doing this
Is to feed to live stock a large proper
ton Of the crops grown, and to return
the b%y-product, manure, to the land.
This brings up the important question
of how best to handle this manure so
that 1t will be best conserved.
1t is quite generally considered now,
that the most economical way, both as
to the economy Of labor and elements
of fertility, is to haul the manure d.
rect from the barn to the field. OF
course there are some days in the
winter when it is difficult to get ma
nure onto the field. However, every
day that it is possible, manure should
be hauled directly to the field and
spread.
There are two ways by which the
fertilizing value is lost; the first is by
heating, and the second is by leach
Ing. If manure is left in piles about
the barn 1t soon begins to heat, even
in winter. especially If it contains any
large proportion Of horse manure.
When 1t heats the manure Is decom.
posed, and the element of most value,
nitrogen, is lost in the form of gas.
In the spring and early summer, II
manure is lying about the yards where
rain car fall on 1t, much of the fertil.
,tty Is leached out and carried away.
IT manure is spread on the field direct
~ from the barn, heating is prevented
until the manure is covered up in the
soil. Then any elements that are lib
Grated by decomposition are taken up
by the soil and saved. When manure
is spread out on the field. 1t dries out:
and. as the larger part of the manure
is In insoluble form, even II 1t does
rain on the fields. very little fertility
is washed out, because It Is not solu-
BILE. It does not become soluble Until
covered up in the ground, where 1t ID
kept moist, and where decomposition
can take place. Then the teaching
leaves the fertility in the soil, where
1t Is used.
Considering these facts. and the Tact
that manure is handled fewer times
when hauled direct from the barn to
the field, makes It quite evident that,
from the standpoint Of economy. this
De the practical way Of handling ms:

; The bronze grass. as shown in the

of roots than the timothy. It fills the
ground with such a mass of fbrous
roots that when land is plowed the Diff

hardness. This then can be used as q
general test in buying seed.
Northern grown seed is preferred
ever in sections where it is not need
ed on account Of severe winters. This
means that there will be a big demand
for northern grown seed. The grow
ing of alfalfa seed will for many years
be a profitable line of farming, as will
also the growing Of alfalfa for hay.
Better start a small piece. Prepare
the land thoroughly and sow seed of a
hardy variety.

HATS OFF TO BRYAN,

1t is plain now that Wall street in
terests made a silent but extensive
effort to control the democratic con-
vention. Believing it to be a demo-
cratic year Ryan, Belmont ct al pass
ed the word round all over the coun-
try to pick conservatives or semi-con-
servatives for the convention. The
politicians stood in with the proceed
ing and without the mass of demo
cratic voters realizing the fact they
sent men to Baltimore who do not
really represent the popular senti-
ment.
But Bryan seems more than a
match for them all. He has fearless
ly held the convention up to the pub
lie gaze and the jobbers are afraid to
deliver the goods. 1t is apparent that
Bryan has told the convention much
what Roosevelt told the republicans.
They must clean house and be decent
or he will quit them cold. The only
difference is that the Chicago steam
rolled convention would not listen to
Roosevelt while the Baltimore lead
crs appear to be taking Bryan at his
word.
If William ]. Bryan can swing the
Baltimore convention into line, fore
ing the nomination of a thorough
progressive and the adoption of a
thoroughly progressive platform he
will have accomplished the greatest
feat Of his remarkable career. 1t is
something no other man in the coun-
try could do. Roosevelt could not
do it even with. the prestige Of VIC
tory after victory in direct primary
states, with a strong organization and
unlimited money at his command.

YOUR CRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

A feeling CT sadness accompanies the
discovery of the first gray hairs which
unfortunately are looked upon as heralds
of advancing age. Gray hair, however
handsome it may be, makes a person
look old. We ali know the advantages
Of being young. Aside from the good
impression a youthful appearance makes
on others, simply knowing that you are
'1ooking fit' gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking old
on account of gray hairs, when simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in few days time
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as a color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers
used "Sage Tea" for keeping their
hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
we have an ideal preparation of Sage,
combined with Sulphur and other valua-
BILE remedies for dandruff, itching scalp
and thin, weak hair that is split at the
ends or constantly coming out. A few
applications of this valuable remedy
will bring back the color, and in a short
time it will remove every trace Of dan
druff and greatly improve the growth
and appearance of the hair 8.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the difference
in your hair after a few days treat
ment. All druggists sell it, under guar
antee that the money will be refunded if
the remedy is not exactly as represented.

THE UNIT RULE.

In abrogating the unit rule the
democratic national convention took
progressive step-a step distinctly
IL line with the modern trend in
government.
There is not a shadow of excuse for
the unit rule. First, last and all the
time it is a proceeding to thwart the
will of the people. 1t can do no pos
sible good and is susceptible of all
sorts of harm.
The modern idea is to give true
and accurate expression to the popu-
lar sentiment. This can be done only
when the principle of proportional
representation applies. In selecting
delegates to the national conventions
the selection is made in accordance
with the number Of congressional dis
tricts in state. The voting should
be done by districts and the instruc-
tions given by the various districts
should be followed
The unit rule is greatly beloved by
crafty and interruptions politicians.
L was applied to perfection when the
recent Washington democratic con-
vention was held at Walla Walla. BY
invoking the unit rule with reference
10 county delegations and by bodily
throwing out the King county dele
CATION with over 100 votes pledged
To Wilson the standpatters succeeded
in stealing the national delegation
away from the New Jersey governor
But it was the Ohio case that
brought on the downfall of the unit
rule. When the Harmon forces tried
to steam roller the IS Ohio votes
which Wilson won under the prefer
ence primary they went too far. II
would have been monstrous and it is
not astonishing that the convention
refused to swallow such dose. Had
II done otherwise democratic orators
would have been unable this fall tc
point with scorn at the Chicago job
berry. The Ohio job would have beer
worse than anything pulled off at the
Coliseum and the chief shame would
have been upon the democrats.
In time the unit rule will go com
pletely from our political system anC
the electoral college will go along
with the other outgrown clothes. II
is a silly thing too and serves no pur-
pose other than to make 1t easier fol
predatory interests and machine poll
ticians to manipulate affairs.

Sea-To-Sea Chain Claimed
by Clark

Washington D. c., May 2O.-A
statement issued from national Clark
headquarters tonight, say:
with the exception of the states OF
Oregon and North Dakota, the latter
having instructed for Gov. Burke,
Speaker Clark will have in the Balti-
more convention; the entire block Of
Western States and an unbroken chain
of States extending across the CONT
nent to New England. Every one of
the New England States, save Con-
necticut and part of Maine, will sup
port the Speaker on the first ballot in
the convention.
with such vast area of territory
and population supporting the Speak
er's candidacy, covering every section
of the United States, the managers of
the Speakers campaign need present
no arguments to support their claim
that Mr.. Clark is the choice Of the
great majority of the Democratic vot-
ers. Wherever presidential prefer
ence primaries have been held, except
in Oregon and Wisconsin, Champ
Clark has won overwhelmingly. In
Oregan he lost the state by very
small margin due in large measure
to the lack of organization.
"The statement that the Speaker will
have every State west of the Missouri,
includes, of course, the new State of
Arizona, Montana and Idaho, which
have not yet acted, and also Utah,
which elected an uninstructed delega-
ton, >bu: whose members are favor
able to the Speaker.
