Petrograd. Jan. 6.--0fficial re

lance Of the Russian victory over the
Turks in the Caucasus Already
more than fifty thousand Turks have
been taken prisoners and large mum
bers are surrounded and must sur
render or be cut to pieces.
Not to permit the Turks to reform
their shattered lines the Russians
are pursuing the remainder of the
Turkish troops on both flanks.
The Russian advance into Hungary
is also stated To continue practical
Is unopposed,
In Poland and western Galieia
there Is practically no change in the
situation.
The danger point for the Rus
SLAMS in the Caucasus was made good
at the outset. and the Turks never
succeeded in accomplishing anything
in that region, But by putting in
the field three-to-one superiority
over the Russian forces and occupy
ing the Caucasus heights, the Turks
succeeded in penetrating few miles
into Russian territory. Now they
are defeated and fleeing.
1t was not a movement that threat
ened anything of vital Importance
or even of serious value to Russia
and the probability of invading ar
mics such as Turkey was able to put
into the field ever reaching the plains
across the Caucasus mountains in
sufficient force to be dangerous was
always extremely remote.
Fighting in the heavy snow at
attitudes of 5000 or 10000 feet IN
the depth Of winter is a terrible ua-
,dertaking for the attacking side. and
| 1t is evident that the Turkish forces
during the lest few weeks suffered
great hardships in their attempt to
keep footing on Russian territory.

that was contagious, the doctor has
requested US to publish the following
letter from st. Paul doctors whom
he went to for treatment while there:

Dear Doctor:
l am glad to write this note at
your request and am glad to note that
you have improved so much. You
will remember that l told you, at the
time first saw you, that the trouble
was entirely mechanical, due to plas-
ter of Paris or some such substance
getting under the nails and thus caus-
ing irritation. You need have no fear
to transmitting any trouble to another
person by contact or any other way.
Trusting improvement will still con-
tinue. l am
Very truly yours,

ORGANIC MATTER AND HUMUS


Humus is animal or vegetable mat
ter in a nearly complete stage of de-
cay. Well rotted compost closely
resembles humus. 1t is a black, waxy
plastic substance around soil particles:
The benefits of humus are both ply
iscal and chemical. In sandy
soils it's plastic nature enables it to
bind the grains together and make
the soil more compact, and at the
same time increase the water-hold-
ing capacity of the soil. But humus
is less plastic than clay and has a
tendency to separate its fine par
ticles, producing a crumb-like struc-
ture. Here also the water-holding
capacity is increased, this time by
separating the too closely crowded
particles so as to offer greater space
between them. Again unless the SOIL
be saturated with water the aeration
of clay is much improved.
Both sandy and clay soils work
much easier when we'll supplied with
humus for they keep more moist and
do not become too light, nor too stiff
and lumpy. The better aeration and
darker in color make the clay soils
warmer and much earlier.
Chemically humus is beneficial to
the soil first because in it's gradual
decay it furnishes nitrogen, phos-

THE NEW FARM LOAN BILL

The Farm Loan Bill introduced by
Senator Whiteside has passed both
houses and will soon be a law, and will
be popularity known as the Whiteside
Law, to distinguish it from the Init
ative Farm Loan Law, adopted last
fall. The features in the Whiteside
Law of special interest to the Farm
er-Borrower are here summarized:
The State Treasurer is made Ex-
otficio Commissioner of Farm Loans
and the County Treasurer in each
county, the County Agent.
The Department will furnish blanks
upon which application for loans will
be made through the County Treasur-
err.
Any farmer a borrow any sum not
exceeding one half the productive val
ue of his land, although the bonds will
be issued in denominations of $500
each and in series Of 100000.
Proof of the value of the land is
required, and is strict, and both bor-
rover and lender are safeguarded ag-
ainst over leaning an ony particular
tract.
When applications for loans in a
series have been received and the
bonds issued, the State Treasurer will
deliver to the borrower the amount
of the loan approved for him and fol
which he has supplied the security
The total payment to be made by
each borrower is 8 per cent per an
mum on what he borrows and this pay
off the debt-principal, interest, ant
expenses, in 25h years.
Should any borrower desire to pa!
off the balance of his loan at any TIM
and have his land released from thu
mortgage, provision, is made for hin
to do so upon the substitution of othe
land and another borrower.
Provision is also made for the is
suance of a series for less than 500,
900.
If everybody uses proper diligence
money for the first series should b.
available within 60 days.

NOT A ~"RAZOR.BACB"

If the northern and western farm
ers believe that the "razor-back" hog
represents the south, they will be en-
titled to one more guess after reading
the following from the News of Leigh
ton, Alabama.
"Mr. C. O. Bowling, of Brick, claims
the banner Of porkers. Mr.. Bowling
killed one a few days ago that pulled
the scales to $50 pounds. This is the
largest hog that has been reported to
us. The Duroc Jersey Swine is the
breed of the above hog killed."

GOOD ROADS NOTES
BY Homer d. Wade, Chairman Good
Roads Committee National Farm

ers' Union.
No other citizen realizes the value
of good roads as does the farmer
A community can safely be judged
by the kind of highways it maintains.
The greatest chasm between the
producer and the is the mud
hole.
Production must cease when the
transportation costs eat up the profits.
There is something radically wrong
with the farmer who is opposed to
good roads.
Without good roads, there can be
no development that will be perman-
ent and enduring.
Bad roads keep children away from
school and impair the efficiency of
church work in a community.
The elementary principles involved
in improved highways are social and
domestic happiness and business &C.
onomics.

phorous and potash IN those forms
most readily used by plants. In ad-
doitin it is beneficial because in its
decay acids are formed which make
soluble the mineral food bound up in
the insoluble rock particles.
The presence Of humus in the soil
supports the growth of many kinds
of bacteria. These gradually COM
plete its destruction. These bacteria
require air so that continuous cult
walton by getting more air into the
soil greatly hastens the hurhus loss.
Hot weather and bare soils also favor
this.
No opportunity to increase the
humus supply or to saw the products
Of its decay should be lost. All
manure from farm stock should be
hauled and spread upon the fields
This is one important source of pro-
tit from live stock.
All corn stalks, straw or any other
refuse from crops should be turned
under by the pillow. Such stalks as
crimson clover, COW peas, rye, buck
wheat, etc., should be used as cove,
crops in the fall and turned under ir
the spring to furnish green manure
These cover crops also prevent leach
ing of nitrogen freed during the
warm days, and store it for the mex
seasons crop.

WHAT PERCENTAGE WILL GROW
BY International Laboratories, Seattle,

~ y A.
Honest Seeds" That is a popu-
lar slogan you can read in the adver-
tisements of practically all farm pap
ers. For the most part, they are
"honest" because the reliable seed
houses have all of their seed carefully
tested. What are honest seeds? Simp-
ly seeds that are fertile, or will ger
inmate and produce what is expected
of them.
The grain you SOW is seed. Is it
honest seed?-are you square with
yourself? This should be carefully
considered as it is more important
to you than anybody else.
1t makes a man mighty sore to be
euchred out of all or any part Ct
his salary, but many farmers proceed
to seeding as though. their time was
an inconsequential effort. It is a
waste of time, seed, and land to SOW
unfertile seed. The demand and the
price will be so great the coming sea-
son that it will be a crime for the
farmers to waste effort, grain OIL soil.
This presents a peculiar problem.
There isn't any means Of separating
the fertile from the unfertile grain.
They must be sown together. So to
overcome this unpreventable waste, it
is necessary to know the fertility Of
the grain so that the proper amount
of seed may be sown to insure an alb
undant crop. Preventing waste is a
science. Science comes through know
ledge. Correct knowledge of the fer
tility Of grain is an important ad-
vancement in scientifical farming.
1t is this way: Supposing a GER
tain field required a seeding Of SOC
pounds of wheat to produce a salts
factory CROP. but that only 70 per
cent $3.50 pounds) was fertile would
it not. then be necessary to SOW Tie
pounds to obtain the same result =!
Most assuredly. Everything being
equal, you could not reap the same
crop any other way.
The fost usual amount Of wheat
sown per acre in the United States is
about 5 pecks. 1t varies from 2 pecks
in parts of California to 9 pecks ir
Ohio. The average amount sown pei
acre in the United States is 1% bush
els in the winter wheat regions anc
1k bushels per acre in the spring
wheat sections. The Middle-Atlantie
states SOW from z to 8 pecks. The
Mississippi and Ohio Valleys 6 to
pecks, and California 2 to 8 pecks.
The amount of seed required, pei
acre, varies with time and method OF
seeding-also soil and climate-alsc
with different varieties Of wheat, and
even with size and quality of seed OF
same variety. One variety may have
only half as many grains in a bush
ell as another. AS is well known "a
bushel of shriveled wheat will have
more grains than a bushel of plump
wheat. Less seed is required if thu
time is early, if the rain fall is JUS
sufficient, if the soil is fertile and il
the seed-bed is we'll prepared. TIT
+ yield, however, is not proportionate t.
the seed sown, but is proportional
to the fertility. The lower the ger
minating power, the more seed will
have to be sown per acre to insure
profitable crop. Know the percentag
if fertility of your seed. This know
ledge means money this year.
