STORE MANURE FOR GARDENS
Practice Of FertIIizino Every Year
lato In Fall or In Spring 10 Not
Always for the Best.

A common practice is to manure the
garden every year late in the fall or
before planting in the spring, no fur
Their attention being given. This prac-
tice, however, is not the best.
The manure for the garden should
be kept in a large box with a lid or
so screened that flies cannot enter it.
Manure heaps are the natural breed
ing places of these pests, and II they
are allowed to remain near the house
uncovered will prove a great nuisance.
A good plan is to use a very close
wire screen nailed to a frame with
hinges for the top. The manure
should be spaded often on the top SO
that the water from the clouds or the
sprinkling pot may penetrate to every
part Of it.
II kept in a box a spout should be
placed in one corner at the bottom, 80
that the water may drain into a sunken
barrel.
This will supply liquid manure
which can be used at all seasons wher
vegetables and flowers are growing.

plan which has many advantages to
both buyer and feeder. II a buyer

The colts should be kept growing

horses, II allowed to lose flesh, will
not be in proper condition for work

MILLIONS Of XMAS TREES;

the incense cedar and even the red
wood are frequently used.
The Christmas trees vary in size
from to 35 feet in height The small
er trees bring about 25 cents each in
the cities; those from to 10 feet high
one dollar or more, while in New
York, large, shapely trees sell from $5
to $50, and trees 35 feet high often
bring $50 each. 1t is remarkable
fact, however, that those who gather
the trees receive very little for their
effort. For trees that bring 81 the
farmers get from to 10 cents; and
they consider themselves very lucky
tn get as high as Is or 20 cents for
the most perfect trees. A good deal
of dissatisfaction has been voiced this

ing larger prices from the dealers, and
this may result In an increased price

London, Dec l2-Of the five Aus
tro-German columns which for some
days appeared to be making progress
in their invasion of Poland. three
have suffered checks, according to
report from Russian Headquarters
The column which was making a
downward stroke from Mlawa, on the
East Prussian frontier, and which
was reported in one dispatch from
Petrograd to be within fifteen miles
OF Warsaw, was repulsed after an en-
ergetic offensive and under counter
attacks from the Russians was com
PEELED to retire at some points.
The attacks of the main German
column. which had its front on the
line between Lodz and Lowicz and
which came down diagonally from
Thorn, were delivered with great
force, but according to the Russian
account were repulsed with heavy
losses to the invaders That the Ger
mans attached great importance to
the success of their attack here Is
shown By the fact that during the
two days they faced the Russian
trenches seven times and were driven
back by q murderous fire.
The other column which mas suf-
fered is that composed of German
and Austrian troops which mas been
trying to outiiank the Russian left
south OF Cracow In this case 1t was
the Russians who assumed the often

tenacious resistance they defeated

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 12-Fully five
millions of Christmas trees are being
cdt in the forests of Maine, Vermont,
Michigan and Wisconsin, the Catskllls
and the Berkshires, and in all wood
lots where evergreen trees grow. This
toll exacted for Yuletide joy, brings
alarm to the forest bureaus, who view
the ever-increasing demand on the
young trees that spring forth to re-
place the depleted forest kings that
have fallen under the axeman's blows.
Chicago children have a special in
terest In the gathering of their trees
this year, for the adventure of cutting
the Christmas tree this year falls to
a woman, Mrs. Barbara Schuenemann,
who is completing in the wind-swept
woods of northern Michigan the cut
ting of the cargo which is to brighten
the homes here, A grim tragedy of
the Christmas Ship" which was wont
to bring the cargo of trees from Mich
igan to Chicago, is still remembered,
for 1t was only two years ago that
Captain Herman Schuenemann, with
his crew of eleven men went down in
tho Christmas Ship, the Rouse Sim
mons, Off Washington Island and no
trace OF either the lost boat or crew
Was ever found. So this year. the
captains widow led another gang of
wcodsmen into the forests. Assisted
hy her three daughters she hes bean
carrying on the business. She sailed
with her crew OF husky woodsmen in
the two-masted schooner Lucky, and
within week Lucky is due to return
with her happy woman captain and
her cargo Of Christmas trees. While
the little vessel is ploughing its way
home, the three daughters, Elsie, Haz-
q and Pearl, are busily preparing for
the distribution of the trees.
The gathering of the five million
Christmas trees this year is a desc
Grafton in the eyes of Uncle Sans for
est experts. They believe that the
effect Is very bad on the future timber
supply. II is pointed out that If the
woodlands were under proper for
estry management no harm would be
done, for the yearly thinning
from the forests would more than sat
isfy even greater market demand
for Christmas trees.
Every kind of cone.bearlng tree is
used for Yule-tide purposes. the par
tlcular variety depending upon the
locality. Firs and spruce are the most
popular, with the pines and cedars In
second place. The fir, however, is the
best of all Chrltmas trees and in the
Northern and Eastern statas is used
to the exclusion Of almost everything
else. In the markets Of New York and
