LOSS IN BARNYARD MANURE

In handling the barnyard manure
the farmer can save or lose hundreds
OF dollars annually. A manure heap
Is hot-bed OF bacterial activities.
Some OF the nitrogen is formed into
ammonia and passes into the air: this
Is clear loss. Some is transformed
Into nitrates, which are soluble, wash.

or run on into the ditch; this also Is
a direct loss. Some OF 1t is formed by
bacteria into nitrates and these nj.
trates attacked by another species of
bacteria which change into nitrogen
gas, which passes into the air and
is lost.
Nitrogen Is worth at least eight
cents per pound and horse will pro-
duce fifteen tons Of manure and litter
per year, containing in round mum.

cents per pound the value Of that ma.
nure Is $lO40. 1t pays to save 1t. Ex.

Good Word for Whistling

If man whistles while at his work It
may comfort him to know that modern

a mans whistle is the safety valve of

If a man be happy and inclined to whis-
tie, but for some doubtful conventional
reason refrains, he Injuries himself by
just so many more notes of praise con-
fined in his head, silently vitiating his
joy. The objector does not thing of the
whistler as being happy, but as whistling,

lie objects to the noise. In this he Is
narrowly at fault. Let him change his
mind and suffer no more the pangs of
outrage. Let him say of the whistle.
"rhat is sound of happiness which
am not happy enough to make, but

says Il am glad" he will have a little

A Compromise Proposed
For years the New York cotton ex-
change was urged to put its house in
order; to legitimatize its business by
making such rules and regulations as
would enable a purchaser of cotton to
know the class of cotton he might, or
would receive on settling day as ten-
ders. 1t was, time and time again,
shown that a great staple was being
made a plaything-the chips in Il great
gambling game-with no intention of do
ing a. Legitimate business in actually de-
livering, any large part of the greatest
money crop in the world, although sold
10 times over the total crop, 2 crop made
in ten states of the AZ in the union, and
worth last year 81. 900, 100000. Like Nebu-
chadnezzar while the gamblers were
chalking their millions of prnsts on the
bIackboards. through wash sales and
other manipulations, they have seen the
handwriting on the walls of congress,
and To- the most drastic of bills Is al
ready about to put them out of business
And so, a cry has gone up and much
influence is being brought to bear to
modify the cotton future regulations Of
the tariff bill SO that if there IS a clause
specifying a merchantable spinnable

and bears may still continue 10 pluck the

and the lowest grades (standard c:ass),
there may. in some seasons, be as much
as 81 to Sl6 per bale. This Is the result
OF seasons, or weather conditions, that

the first bale until the last picking is

The sample is made good or bad as to
color and grade, by the following condi-
tons In fair weather the cotton is
picked by hand from the bolls and placed
in the picking bag, and then is carried to
the bins. If it is allowed to lie for two
or three weeks, to permit the natural and
artificial moisture to evaporate it will
run through the gin smoothly; if not it
will 'kink'' and be- cut up by the gin

lOUTL|NE OF POLICY
ON foreign TRADE
Democrats Harlx Back to
Cleveland's Second Term
OLNEY AS THE GUIDE
Foreign Representatives. Not to Adhere
Too Closely to Rules But to Meet
Each Situation as 1t
Arises
BY c. e. STEWART

washington, September 2O.-(Special) )-It
Is the purpose of the present administra-
ton to do all in its power in legitimate
way to build up the foreign trade of the
United States. When the administration
repudiated the dollar diplomacy" policy
OF the Taft administration. which was so
strongly advocated by Secretary of State
knox, there was created a feeling of
: uncertainty as to what support the gov
ernment would give to courage a build
Ing up OF trade relations between this
country and foreign nations
To extend American prestige, commerce
and influence the department OF state has
adopted more or less definite policy de-
lining the extent to which the Wilson ad-
nlinistration will go in supporting Amer
with foreign countries.
The adoption Of this policy is made
necessary by repeated inquiries from
Americans abroad, particularly In China,
who desired to know just where the ad-
lnAlistration stood regarding American
subjects who were engaged commercially
'n foreign fields. Definite action there
fore 1t is stated upon high authority, in
the direction of trade expansion may be
expected henceforth.
Data From Cleveland Administration
1t is asserted that the present adminis-
sration is no less enthusiastic to promote
America to pre-eminent position in
the worlds trade thaa the former admins
iatration, and that every effort will be
made to see to it that those who are en-
Eaged in foreign traffic be given every OPP
pcrtunity to develop their business.
The Wilson administration has gone
back to the second term of Grover Cleve-
land to find the principles upon which it's
policy is TO be based. At that time Mr.
DENLY, the American minister to China,
inquired of Mr.. Olney. then Secretary OF
State, as to American policy in China.
Secretary Olney outlined an attitude for
Mr.. DENLY to assume which applies to
the present situation, and within the last
few days an instruction has gone from
the state department to f. r. Williams,
the American charge de'affaires in Pc
King. embodying the principles laid down
by Mr.. Olney.
The essential features of Mr.. 0lnty's
letter are as follows:

should not assume directly or indirectly
