from a manure pile during and after
every heavy rain.
Every drop Of water Is rich in this
valuable nitrogen, not to mention the
other elements that are OF SO mucn
value to the growing crops.
The average manure in the spring,
before teaching or decomposition has
begun, is worth anywhere from $2.5O
to SO per ton; allowed to remain IN
the yard until fall, it is worth barely
third of that price.
In our calculations we have left the
sanitary aspect out of consideration.
There should be nothing more sanitary
than a clean, well-kept barnyard. On
the other hand, there is not a better
place for the germs of disease than in
the foul, filthy yards that are so COM
mon on many homesteads.
Many a fine horse has been ruined
by being compelled to tramp to and
from the water trough through one OF
these disgraceful barn lots. Grease,
rot and all it's kindred ailments are
only too common to animals allowed to
remain in these places.
Then, brother farmers, clean up. II
not for your stocks sake, then for
your pocketbook's sake. But 1t is dol
lars to doughnuts that the man who
allows his manure to lie around all
summer, also let's his other work lag.
Clean up! 1t is more sanitary;
things look better-have a cleaner,
better smell.
The elements that insult your nos
trils, in dirty barnyard, are the same
that make the big crop of fragrant
hay next summer.

head with wire pins. The remaining
end is fiuffed and pinned to the crown,
with it's ends thrust under the hair
at the top crown. Small, invisible
pins are placed in the waves at the
front and wherever needed to keen the
hair in place, for neatness must be
featured in all the new styles of hair
dressing.
The two large shell pins are orna-
mental but they also furnish sub
stantial support in keeping the hair in
place.
This couture does not set SO close
to the head at the back as it appears
to in the photograph. The fuffed
strand of hair which is drawn through
the braided coil and fastened in at
the top, is something like long and
broad puff. II extends beyond the
back OF the head about as far as the
usual French twist.

By ELMER HENDERSON,
Just between corn planting and
corn blowing there is little time
when the work in the fields is not sos
crowding
This affords good opportunity TO
clean the manure from the yards and
land it out into the fields At this time
of the year most probably the only
place to land it is the hay ground.
This is a good place for it, as the
growing meadow will take up all the
nitrates as fast as they are released
from the decaying manure and apply
it to their own use.
1t has been proved time and again
by actual tests reported by our expert
ment stations that the manure that is
allowed to lie around and rot loses
three-fourths of it's value.
This is due to decomposition of the
material, nitrification and the escape
of ammonia and to teaching or'wash-
ing by rains.
When manure decays there is lib
Grated by this process, nitrogen, which
is one of the most valuable factors on
the American farm today.
If this nitrogen Is allowed to escape,
its value is lost to the crop, which
probably needs 1t very much.
AS much as three-fourths of the
available nitrogen in soil may escape
during the summer. When it is consid-
cred that this is one of the most val
liable constituents of the manure, the
extent of the loss is at once apparent.
AS to the loss by teaching or wash
lng, need only remind you of the
stream of muddy water that issues

 It is none of our business, po- liticaily speaking, what our demo- cratic friends do, and yet in the face aI the fact that it is reasonab- ly sure We republicans will have to i've under this democratic influ- eace. We nave right to a moral sense ol political preference.

The American Magazine has been
Offering prizes for the best letters
entitled My Most Successful New
Years Resolution. The prize-winnlng
letters are published in the January
number, The following letter won a
prize: 49,, -
It was long before dawn last New
Years morning! I lay awake in bed,
waiting for the early cry Of my ba-
bies. I was thinking Of other New
Years mornings in which I had made
soul stirring resolutions to be good
to be gentle, kind, unselfish. 1 re-
called the agreeable citation, the smack
of self-righteousness, with which l
had said: 81 will be good"
That morning, as l lay there in the
dark. I made another resolution: Il
will not be good" I knew it would
mean a long, hard fight. but | set my
teeth and vowed 1t. I a been, too
good. I had been kind n unseihsh,
instead of firm and self-respecting. l
had made a. martyr of myself for my
husband, my children, my servants
and / had spoiled them all.
q" will not be meek, [ Will not be
self sacrificing, / will not be over
worked, I will not be put upon!" so
ran my litany.
The clock struck half-past five. MY
younger baby woke and cried in her
adjoining room. Her older but not
better sister called out peremptorily.
"Ma-ma!" My spirit flew to them. |
| set my teeth and held myself in bed.
Soon they were both crying violently.
