INTERVENTION BY POWERS
CONFIDENTLY EXPECTED

man to Lose Life in Actual
Warfare.

LONDON, Oct. 31--The Bulgarian
army has completely defeated a
Turkish force estimated at 100000
men at Luleburgas after three days
terrific hghtine, according to news
agency dispatch from Sofia. The Bull
carian cavalry is pursuing the re-
treating Turks
The Turkish arny after its defeat
at Luleburgas retreated toward
Tchatalja. Adrianople is completely
hernmed in by the Bulgarian troops.
Whatever the result of the
great battle now being fought
between the Turkish and Bull
garian armies in the eastern part
of the Balkan peninsula, its conclu-
sion probably will give occasion for
the intervention of the European
powers In dispatches from Vienna
It is asserted that the foreign min
listers of the European government
have reached a tentative agreement
in this matter, and in any event the
entry of Bulgarian troops into Con-
stantinople will not be tolerated by
the powers. Even Russia is disin-
clined to permit such an occurrence.
It is also understood In diplomatic
quarters in the Austrian capital that
the Balkan nations already have
made known in an unofficial manner
that they are prepared TO accept in
tervention by the powers at any mo-
ment now.
The Russian aviator Popoff, in
structor of aviation in the Russian
army, was the first air navigator to
lose his life in this war
He, with several others. left Russia
few days ago to offer his services
to Bulgaria. While flying with his
machine over Adrianople he was
brought down by Turkish shrapnei
shells. Special reports say he was
killed.

VALUABLE FARM BY-PRoDUcT
Many Farmers Neglect TO Care 70,

CBy w. II. KELSEY

In spite OF all that has been writ.
ten telling Of the value OF stable
manure there are many farmers who
still neglect to care for this valuable
by-pro6uct OF the farm and spend
their money for commercial fertilizer.
do not wish to discourage the use
OF commercial fertilizer. but II should
never be used until the stable manure
is first taken care OF and applied TO
the soil, II there is not sufficient
manure to meet the demands OF the
farm crops the deficiency should be
supplied by using commercial fertil.
iEer.
II is rather difficult 70 estimate the
value OF stable manure in dollars and
cents as commercial fertilizers are
vailed, since the stable manure adds
much valuable humus to the soil as
well as direct plant food and the COM
mercial fertilizer is valued for the
direct plant food alone.
DR.. Aikman says that the humus OF
the stable manure is worth quite as
much TO the soil as the direct plant
food. Valuing the phosphoric acid at
five cents per pound, the potash at
five cents per pound and the nitrogen
at is cents per pound a fair average
value OF the stable manure may be
estimated as follows:
10 pounds nitrogen at Is cents. $3.50
10 pounds potash at cents..... ~
8 pounds phosphoric acid at 8
cents ................. 70

Its value is not appreciated because
II is a by-product and because farm

The manure when allowed to 40
