GETTING MOST OUT
OF FARM MANURE
Fertilizer Should Be Applied Even.
" and Worked Down Well
With Harrow.

To spread manure out on the sur
face is to apply liquid manure, for the
first rain will wash out the substance
and drench the land. Then you have
the coat for protection. This is
guard against the sun or the severity
of frost on grass lands.
In the soil manure will only fertil-
lie what it comes In contact with. ana
that is a small part of the land. as 1t
cannot be as equally distributed as
the liquid manure for the juice OF the
surface covering does 1t.
Then the soil is soaked as far as the
liquid extends, every particle OF II.
So If a piece of grass land has manure
spread on it in the fall and is plowed
in the spring there is always an in
creased growth on it, showing very
convincing result in favor of this
method OF manuring the soil.
But if the land is plowed before the
manure is put on. and then cultivated
in the spring the results will be still
more convincing that surface manur-
ing is the best.
ly and worked down with fine tooth
harrow, so as to bring it in close CON
tact with the ground. Then the soil
will hold the strength-the gases as
they are made-and the manure ap-
piled will be a part of the soil never
lost unless on land that Is subject to
washing.

whether long or short--the short, or
rotten, is the best, but the longest
straw manure will do and it will pro-
tect the surface both winter and sum-
mer. Even straw alone has an effect
on land that is surprising to those who
have never tried il and in some places
it is always applied to wheat fields in
the fall.
Let us save all the manure manu-.
featured on the farms and apply II as
soon as possible; the sooner il gets on
the soil the better. as it's strength and
protection will at once benefit the land
instead of the. strength going off as 1t
does in the barn and in the manure
heap as we find ii on a great many
farms.
1t is an excellent plan to cart it on
the meadows and fields as soon as the
fall manure begins to be made and
spread at once close and fine and
equally on all places and continue this
during the winter. BE sure to cover
all and spread evenly as you go. and

SEAT LITTLE GOOD TO HIM
Smart Youth Had II But He Did Net
Proceed Far Toward His Des-
tination.

An important looking and haughtily
acting young man was wandering up
and down on the platform of the rail-
road station OF a small western city.
He was intent on finding an empty
seat in the express. which was almost
due to start. Vainly did he search
each car. Suddenly he assumed an
official air and, walking up to the
last car, he cried out;
'.All change here. This car will be
left here"
The occupants of the crowded car
uttered ordinations which proved
their dissatisfaction, but hurried out
and packed themselves in other
coaches. The face of the young man
assumed bland and childlike express
sion as he settled himself very COM
fortably in an empty seat
Shortly after, the station agent put
his head in at the door and said:
