Here S what S on the way-a
comment by the Vandalia Leader !:
J. ID. Pitt, of Franktord, met with
the Commercial Club last week
with a view to interesting Van
dalia i'll procuring power from
keOkuk, via Hannibal, for operat-
ing electric light system, install
ing a central heating plant, or
any other public or private utility
requiring power. A projected
system for Perry, Center, New
London and Frankfort is figured
at $50, 600 The Keokuk company
instails the entire system and the
cost to each town for the use of
power is regulated by the number
of patrons. The Nandalia Com.
mercial Club is greatly interested
in the proposition and will make
investigations as to its practical
ity. Power from the Keokul
dam is now transmitted as far as
ST. Louis, and the mind can readi,

ORIGIN OF A POPULAR DOG
Ancestors Of tho Scottish Terrier Were
used by tho "Todhunters" Of
tho Highlands.

In ancient times each district In the
highlands had its "todhunter." whose
duty II was TO see carefully that the
then fourishing firm of fox, otter and
company did not do a too fourishing
business In lamb or poultry. Some
times these todhunters were of 'the
laird's men," sometimes they were
farmers and grazers: but always they
were local dignitaries. There was hon.
or and considerable profit In their Of
nee. and In time 1t came to be more
or less hereditary. Their duty was
simple. They waged war of exter-
mination against the vermin, which,
however, was a very different matter
rom the good old English sport of
fox hunting.
In the rough country horse and
mound would have been worse than
useless, and reynard made his den
IN such rocky ground that he could
not be dug out. The sole solution was
q dog small enough to follow the fox.
or otter. or badger, or wildcat into his
lair; strong enough to bring him out
dead or alive; and game enough to do
Doth. A dog developed from this ne
cessity. and that dog was the ancestor
OF the presentday Scottish terrier

FRESH VS.. RoTTED MANURE
Come Interesting Facts Given Which
show Advantage Slightly In
Favor Of Former.
(By ANDREW Boss.)

(By ANDREW BOss)
Most people have An idea that rot
ted manure is a much more valuable
fertilizer than manure fresh from the
barns or yards. This idea prevails
because Of the heavy. compact nature
OF the rotted manure. The value OF
manure 10 determined by the amount
OF various elements of fertility con-
tanned therein. These elements are
mainly nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash. They are usually figured at
16c, &c and DC per pound. respective
ly. On this basis ton Of fresh barn
yard manure Is worth @1.98. A ton OF
rotted manure IL worth Sc !. or only
&c more. When tho fact 10 consid-
cred that II takes nearly two tons OF
fresh barnyard manure to make one
ton Of rotted manure, owing 70 tho
loss from evaporation and teaching.
II can be seen that much OF the fer
tilizing matter originally contained 10
lost In the rotting process.
An eastern state reports some In
teresting observations on the expert
mental use OF fresh and rotted
manure. Both were used on the corn
and wheat crops, in comparison with
unmanured land. The yield Of corn
on unmanured land was S8.1 bushels
per acre. On land dressed with rot
ted manure. . yield OF e5.1 bushels
were secured: and where fresh
manure was applied. the yield was
TOT bushels per acre. Tho incret sod
yiedl Of corn from the use Of rotted
manure was ~ g bushels, and from the
use OF fresh manure 32.6 bushels. an
increase Of 8 bushels per acre In favor
of the fresh manure. On the wheat
crop the effect was similar. though
not 30 marked. On the unmanured
land, the wheat yielded 1871 bushels
per acre; where rotted manure was
used, 1911 bushels; and on the land
dressed with fresh manure. 1877 BUSH
els per acre were secured. The In
crease In favor OF the fresh manure
Is only 6 bushels per acre on the
wheat crop.
While the increased returns are
comparatively small in both cases. It
illustrates clearly the fact that fresh
manure Is at least as good as the rot
ted manure, and for some crops even
better.
