PROPER ENRICHMENT OF SOIL
Adequate Fertilization, Rotation
and Thorough TilIage.

More attention must be paid to the
scientific enrichment of our soil. 1t
will not do TO take everything off and
put nothing back Our farmers are
realizing the necessity of proper and
adequate fertilization, of proper rota-
ton and thorough tilling their fields.
In foreign countries-where more at
tention has been given to soil en-
richment than anywhere else-it has
been demonstrated that the best re-
suits are obtained by thoroughly fer
tilizing all the land. This can only
be accomplished by broadcasting the
fertilizers on the land and then work
ing them thoroughly into the soil at
the time the land is prepared for the
seed. The main difficulties have been
to get a machine that would scatter
the fertilizers evenly over the ground,
no matter what kind of fertilizer
was sown. The chief obstacle has al
ways been the fertilizer. Some of it
is pasty and sticky, other varieties are
lumpy, and some like powder. The
fertilizer sower to be a success must
be able to successfully handle all
these various commercial fertilizers.

Saving Manure Values.

On the subject of hauling manure,
Professor Gilmore CT the New York
experiment station, says: I'VE think,
all things considered, it is better to
haul the manure directly from the
stable TO the fields than it is to pile it
up for any length of time. If we'll
rotted manure is desired for trucking
purposes or for top-dressing for hay
lands, then it must be stored, but IN
der ordinary conditions for this pur-
pose losses from % to 45 per cent in
the fertilizing value of manure occur,
and if 1t is not kept reasonably wet
and stirred from time to time, Excess
sive fermentation results, to say moth
ing of dry burning and teaching.
Losses amounting to IS to 81 per cent
have been recorded when manure has
been exposed to weather This loss
refers mainly to the fertilizing mate
rial in the manure. 1t is still avail
able as humus or organic matter when
applied to the soil"

WINTER BEES OUT OF DOORS
Temperature Has Gone to IS
Degrees Below Zero

A satisfactory arrangement for win
tering bees out of doors Is illustrated.
This method has been found useful
even where the temperature has been
known to reach Is degrees below zero
and the weather to vary considerably
from week to week, says the New Eng
land Homestead. AS shown the
hives are mounted on stands In pairs
and covered with a packing case. The
stands and the hives remain in posi-
ton all the year round, but the pack
ing case is removed in the spring.
The case has neither bottom nor top
when first placed in position. This
permits the spaces between the case
and the hives to be packed with hay,
which is much more convenient than
chad, sawdust, etc AS shown in the
smaller drawing, the entrances to the
hive are open, but some distance back
from the outside wall and protected
By a little porch. In the upper part
Of the drawing is also shown the hive
packed with hay and with the loose
cover partly removed. If there is
should be weighted with stones or
bricks.
For best results boxes should be
deep enough to take in not only the
ordinary hive but the super or second
story as well, together with the regu-
lar hive cover. There should also be
several inches between the hive tops
and the top Of the packing case. Be
tween the walls there should be
spaces Of four inches at back, front
and sides. Between the two hives
eight or ten inches is allowed. From
the hive entrance to the outside there
should be a bridge terminated by an
alighting board. II the corners of the
packing case are hinged the case may
be stored fat from spring until the
following autumn and thus occupy
very small space in the apiary. II
this method is adopted screw eyes and

FAPMNOTES

The long-headed farmer is the one
who has hay TO sell in the spring.
10 maintain normal soil fertility the
supply of humus must be conserved
There is nothing that gives man
such safe anchorage in life as good
wife.
The sort OF seed corn to select is
the kind that produces bushels per
acre.
Onions, unlike potatoes and other
root crops, win not keep in a moist
cellar.
Low ground drained can be cult
waited earlier than high ground lot
drained.
Diversified gardening is the safest
course for growers supplying local
markets.
Decaying organic matter in the soil
adds to it's warmth and stimulates
plant life.
Keep the hoe going In dry weather
and you win not need the watering
pot often.
The wheel hoe win save many
backache and do the work OF three
hand hoes
Plan your farm to reduce the neces-
sity OF buying additional feed to the
lowest point
A mixed cover crop OF heterogeneous
and non-nitrogenous plants is often
used to advantage.
There are only two ways manure
can lose In value. namely. by fermen-
.ation and by washing.

highly fortified garden soil. In this
the seeds are planted; the pot plants
are arranged upon the shelves.
The whole thing should be put to-
gether with some screws so that it
may be taken down and stored away
during the summer.
Be careful about the temperature,
and remember that plants can stand
a low temperature with greater forti-
tude than a high one. The hot, dry
air in most homes is neither good for
human or flower life, therefore pro-
vide ventilation to give fresh air to
the home when cold weather comes.

Water should be carried away quickly
from the stand. This can be easily
done by having the. case fit down over
a raised portion of the stand and by
having the outside slope toward the
edge. This is not shown in the draw
ing. The roof should also slope from

gressman Levy of New York urged
the rules committee of the house to-
day to not report a resolution for an

the triple trust inquiry.
The New York member asserted that
if the courts ever sustain the Sher-
man law in its entirety there will be a
great panic in the United States. A
few moments later Mr.. Levy expressed
his opinion" that the socialistic pro-
clivities of the Interstate Commerce

ness and civic conditions in West Rich
mond became public Tuesday at con
ference between the board of works
and division officials including general
counsel, H. c. Starr. superintendent
J. w. Fox of Peru and Engineer Jack
son of Peru.
In order to avoid the steep grades
and curves north of the city the com
pany has under contemplation the pro
posal of the engineering department to
run it's freight line through West Rich
mond, eventually, and to continue its
passenger service through the city on
the present line. No Official action
either approving or rejecting the pro
position, has been taken. according to
statements of the company ohcials.
Course Suggested.
1t is proposed by the engineering de
partment that the freight line shall
cross the river at South l. street or a
point in that vicinity, and run in a
northwesterly direction through West
Richmond until the main line is reach
ed at a point north of the city. This
is regarded as the only method by
which the steep grades north of the
city along the present line can be cir
cumvented. Several routes through
West Richmond are contemplated. 1t ii
said. One, it is understood from re
marks dropped at the conference, will
run to the northwest through Judge
Fox's property, at Third and Nationa
road. Another route contemplated viii
take the road across West Second and
Main streets, 1t IL stated.
Last summer when the survey was
made the statement that it was the
ultimate intent Of the company te
change its location through the city
was discredited. However. the off
cials of the company by the state
ments this morning left no room fol
doubt that the plan was still under
consideration. 1t was declared BY
Superintendent Fox that in event the
line was built it would be for freigh,
purposes only.
Changes will be made on the pres
ent line in the course OF a few years
but the location OF the tracks will MOI
be changed to any extent Superin
tendent Fox said that the trestle worl
through the city would have to be re
paired within the course OF year o,
two, when 1t was probable the eIeva
ton would be raised, thus permitting
the Main street grade to be raised and
not interfere with interurbans passing
under the viAduct.
