CONSERVE THE MANURE
IT RAPIDLY LOSES ITS VALUE If
NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR.
BY N. F, Miller, Professor Of Asron
omy, College Of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.

OF the different ways of handling
manure no other is so saving Of fer
tility al that of hauling and scatter
ing the manure as it is made. This
gives the least possible chance for
loss. either through teaching or fer
m%entation. 1t is true that there are
millions of dollars worth of manure
wasted annually in Missouri through
improper handling. It is a common
and a wasteful practice to pile the
manure out of doors and haul it onto
the fields two or three times a year.
Experiments have been made which
show that manure exposed to the
weather for 100 days may lose half of
it's fertility.
There are at least two good ways of
handling the manure. That of haul
ing to the field directly is one of the
best. When the ground is too soft to
haul onto the field, the manure Is
stored under roof.
Another practical method is to al
low the manure to accumulate under

.L0NDONS BIG PARK
Regents, Formerly Royal Prop
erty, is Now 100 Years Old.
Thirty Years Was Required to Build
Historic Preserve-Queen Eliza

Tic and ousted Residences.

London.-The present year ia the
centenary of Regents Park, the larg-
est n In London. That is, it is just
one hundred years since the govern
ment took hold of the project of form
ing a park out of the pasture land
known as Marylebone Farm and
Fields. With it's annexes the Regents
park Of today covers over four hun
dred acres.
The land was formerly the outer
park attached to the royal mansion of
Henry VIII. and wal a favorite hunt
ing ground of the Tudors. Here
Queen Elizabeth entertained the Rus
sian ambassadors with a stag hunt.
During the eighteenth century Maryle-
bone park, split up into dairy farms,
was n Of the principal sources Of
the milk supply Of London, and these
fields were intersected by footpaths
which formed favorite promenades for
the pent-up Londoner.
According to a government survey
made in 1884, Marylebone park con-
tanned SAB acres. Shortly after this
survey premiums we're offered by the
government for the best plans for
building ON the estate as soon as the
leases should fall in. Nash's plan to
form a public park, interpreted with
a few palatial villas, and to let the
adjoining ground on building leases
for the erection Of high class resi-
dences, was ultimately adopted.
It was decided to name this orna-
mental Enclosure after the prince re-
gent, who, 1t was said, intended build
Ing q residence In the park, but this
plan, ~ ever entertained, was aban-
doned. The present park was COM
menced early in 1912 and for several
years the site presented IA most ex-
tr~aordinary scene Of digging, exca-
waiting and building, and seemed more
like a work of general destruction
than anything else"
The commissioners Of woods and
forests resolved to lay out and plant
the whole domain according to the
plan before permitting any building
operations inside. Accordingly, the
FIRST thing they did was to demolish
the farmhouses and taverns and stop
up the footpaths within the inclos-
ure.
When the project Of making the
park was sanctioned by act of parlia-
ment, the public had no inkling that
they might be deprived of the priv
llege of using it. In 1914, however,

The Mil Tax Amendment.

The Improvement Of rural schools,
high schools and the College Of Agri-
culture are the things about Amend
ment 8 which interest the farmer
most. This amendment, the mill tax
amendment, provides a state tax Of 10
cents on the 500 valuation to be used
for the public elementary and high
schools, state normal schools, Lincoln
Institute, and the state university.
Not less than rs per cent is to be
used for elementary and high schools.
The system, II adopted, will put
our schools on a firmer basis. They
will have a certain amount of money
for their-use. This will be about the
same as at present, but will be con
slant and certain, unlike the appropri-
atoms which, the schools must depend
upon at present.

Was Fun to Choose.

A number Of drivers of racing cars
who were in Louisville to participate
in the motor races were present at a
luncheon in honor of one of the lead
ing contestants, who told several au-
tomobile stories.
But my best story" said. the racer,
sis about a taxicab chauffeur. This
man was discharged for reckless driv-
ing and so became a motorman on a
trolley car.

some uneasiness began to be mani
tested respecting the ultimate inten-
lions Of the commissioners. To cut a
long story short, as fast as the various
terraces encircling the park and the
detached villas within the Enclosure
were completed the public were ex-
cluded from the park lands either OPP
posite or round and about the houses
till finally they found themselves shut
out of the park entirely.
This infringement of the rights Of
the public (for the improvements were
paid for out Of the public purse) was
very gradual and insiduous. The park
took nearly thirty years to lay out
and build, and 1t was not till 1888 that
Londoners woke up to the fact that
while q vast space had been preserved
from the encroachment of mean build
ings, they had lost the time-honored
use OF 1t for recreation and exercise.
In that year the commissioners gave
the public access to a small strip on
the eastern side.
This concession was speedily fol
lowed by an agitation against the
whole policy Of Regents park. In
April, 1841, Lord Nugent presented an
address to the queen from the neigh
boring parishes praying her majesty
to throw the entire park open to the
public. The queen personally investi-
gated the subject and came to the con-
clusion that the rights Of the public
had been grossly violated. BY her or
ders the whole park was thrown open
on August IL, 1S41, and simultaneously
the government purchased Primrose
hill from the Elton college estate and
added it to the park.
The connection Of the Geological So
ciety with the park dates from 1928
and the collection Of animals was
swelled by transferring the royal
collection in the Tower thither In
1884. 1t may be added that the zoo
never really caught on with the public
until the immense excitement created
by the arrival of the first ~hippopota-
mus in 1885,. The Royal Botanic 80
dety was granted the use OF the in
ner circle In 1910 and at once reward
ed the privilege by erecting high
mounds Of earth to insure privacy.
There have been but few eventful
episodes in the history Of Regent'e
park. Unlike Hyde park, It has never
been the scene Of riots, great political
demonstrations, military displays or
public festivities.

No STRANGERS Allowed.

Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster
general Of the United States, takes the
deepest interest in even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve
ming he was at the Union station in
Washington, when he decided to &c
into one of the railway m~ail-service
into n of the railway mail-service
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being a tall mar and
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find it an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi'
cally elected him to the platform be-
low.
What do you mean by that?' ask.
ed Hitchcock Indignantly.
Il mean to keep you out of this
car" replied the clerk roughly. THAT

orders to keep all strangers out OF

WESTERN CANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM. BUT DUE TO NAT
uRAL DEVELOPMENT.

One Of the largest banks in Holland
has been doing a big business in
Western Canada, and Mr.. W. Wester-
man, the President, on a recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and
was convinced that the great pros
perity of the Dominion was not a
boom, but merely the outcome of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those OF Ger
many, France, as well as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they r also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million bush
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels of the other small
grains that the Provinces of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
LOTT; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1884; Norway 1892; and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354,237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most Of these people have gone to
the farms, and it is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full

Willing to be Judged by the People

81 have lived in Wyoming since 1868, a period of foHy-four
years, During that time my business ventures, political experience
and domestic affairs have been intimately known to thousands of,
good citizens of this State. 1 am willing to be judged by them,
and 1 have a abiding faith in their sense of justice. Therefore l
leave it to them to decide whether untruthful charges prepared by
a professional muckraker solely for political purposes, and pub
.ished in a alien journal with no interest in Wyoming excepting to
deprive her of any Federal benefits she may be enjoying, shall be &c

sincerity of my purpose to at all times accomplish everything in my

Senator Warren has enjoyed the esteem of four presidents
Harrison, Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft. His colleagues in the
Senate have elevated him to the highest committee positions in their
gift. He is to-day one of the most powerful men in the most
powerful branch of government. He is a great man from a
weak state, the big noise from a small band. The-Man
WhoGe Things, with the odor of our W sage brush on his sena-
torial toga.
There are no Congressman more in the public eye to-day than
Warren and MondelL, yet they come from a State with but three
electoral votes.
We're it not for our congressional delegation we would soon sink
into political insigni6capce. They have protected us from the as
saults of the rabid conservatiouists, who would make it a crime to file
an application for public lands. They have had almost the whole
country to fight. Such journals as Golfers allied with the Pin.
chot. Garfield crowd, have led the nation to believe that we n a pack
of land looters and range robbers, bent only on the destruction of
the countrys natural resources.
The federal buildings which Senator Warren has secured for his
State are al cactus thorns in the itching palms of our enemies.
They shudder ard shrink at the names of Sundance, Lander, Evans
ton and Casper. They have awakened to the fact that Wyoming
has the largest and most extensively constructed army post in the
United States. Great commonwealth, like New York and Penn

tureY" The answer comes, warren did it." "Down with
Warren.
If they assail him shall not we support himP How sharper
than a serpents tooth twould be to serve a thankless state! And who
is putting up the money to carry on the present campaign against
Warren? There is usually a fee demanded for skinning either a
sheep o r a Senator, Golfers doubtless desires to draw money as we'll
