First Prize Winner
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Dear Sir:-Following are my senti-
ments on The Outcast:"
From an individual standpoint
there is no question in my mind that
The Outcast" should most emphatic
ally have married Geoffrey. From a
broader standpoint, that of the
amelioration of the race and consid-
Grafton for possible posterity result
ing from the marriage, | would say
that just as emphatically, She should
not have married him." If marriage
were justified in her case, so would it
be In hundreds of cases, and humanity
would suffer morally, physically. and
spiritually. 1t is a world-old problem
but 1t strikes me that, dramatically
and logically. the playwright and
producers have drawn the correct con-
clusion. One suffers a pang in read
ing OF MiriamS s wonderful self efface-
ment for the honor of pure woman
hood; she appears in the light of a
martyr and one wishes Just wee bit
that she might be happy in her love
for Geoffrey. In the impossibility of
this and in her f1neness lies the
tragedy.

No. she should not marry him. No
marriage without love on both sides

He was willing to marry Miriam only

should be her husbands inferior. She
should be able to hold her own, no

GOOD FOR NATIONS HEALTH
Beneficial Results From Early Entry
Of Spring Vegetables Into the
Markets Of the Country.

One of the marvels Of modern life is
the early date when spring fruits and
vegetables appear in the markets.
Some years ago they almost always
went north in wilted condition. With
modern facilities these products OF
southern ATTITUDES appear in northern
towns in marvelously fresh condition.
For the great majority Of people pre-
maturely early food products are an
impossible luxury. But the growing
wealth Of the country is signified by
the number Of people who today feel
that they can afford to buy these early
garden products. For people OF means
1t is a healthful way OF spending
money. which otherwise might go into
highly seasoned cooking and stimu.
lants.
Also the cost Of these early products
has not increased as much as one
would expect. They are raised in SO
much larger quantities that competi-
ton keeps prices somewhere within
reason. Regular markets have been
established and transportation costs
are greatly reduced through volume

PRESERVATION OF
POULTRY DROPPINGS
Farmer Can Materially Add to
His Earnings by Caring
for Hen Manure.

A recent bulletin Of the Maine ag.
ricultural experiment station shows
that the poultry man or farmer can
materially add to the profits Of his
business by properly caring for the
droppings of his fowls. For example,
it is shown that the droppings from
1000 fowls, IL preserved without need
less loss, are worth at least $500 per
annum, and this estimate is based oil
the assumption that less than half OF
the droppings, or only 30 pounds per
hen per year, can be collected.
According to the Maine station, the
droppings should be collected daily
and mixed with substances which will
az prevent loss OF nitrogen. (2) add
sufficient potash and phosphoric acid
to make a better balanced fertilizer,
and go to improve the mechanical
condition of the manure go that 1t can
be applied to the land with q manure
spreader.
This can be done as follows: To
each 30 pounds of the manure add 10
pounds Of sawdust. good dried loan.
OF peat. 16 pounds of acid phosphate
and s pounds of kainit. Such
mixture will contain about 1.25 per
cent of nitrogen, As per cent Of phoS
phoric acid and Q per cent of potash,
which, used at the rate Of two tons
per acre would furnish 80 pounds Of
nitrogen, 1856 pounds OF phosphoric
acid and so pounds Of potash, and at
the present price of fertilizing ingredl-
ents is worth about $40 per ton. The
mixture would furnish a well-balanced
stable fertilizer, which. although not
fine enough to work well in drills. can
be successfully applied with q manure
spreader. The treated manure should
be well sheltered until time to apply
70 the land-that Is, shortly before
blowing.

HAUL MANURE FOR
VEGETABLE GARDEN
Fertilizer Should Be Piled During
Winter So 1t win Be Ready
for Spring.

Manure should be hauled and piled
during winter. SO 1t can rot and be in
good condition to spread broadcast or
in the drills for the early vegetables.
Two loads Ct coarse, strawy manure,
when rotted, will make one load OF
rotted manure.
II manure is to be broadcasted It
will take fully twenty loads Of coarse
manure when rotted to cover one acre.
Truckers and farm gardeners spread
the manure in the drill or put 1t in
the hill. When used this way six two
horse carloads Of rotted manure will
be enough for. one acre.
Owing to the scarcity Of manure
in the city, rye and sand vetch. cow
peas and buckwheat are largely sown
for green manure. These crops are
plowed down when in bloom, ground
rolled after blowing and the top sur
face kept mellow with the slanting-
tooth harrow.
Animal bone fertilizers drilled in at
the rate of 500 to 1000 pounds to the
acre in connection with q green ma
nure crop plowed down will bring as
good q crop Of roots. tomatoes. cab

of fertilizing land is found to give

plowed under several weeks before
the vegetable crop is planted so as to
be well rotted, there will be mellow

capable of holding the rainfall needed
for plant growth.
The manure for vegetables should
be made up in compact heaps, the
horse manure should be covered with

Heavy farm horses help to solve the
labor problem.
Promiscuous experimental breeding
has been the bane of the horse-breed
ing business.
A well.conditioned draft colt, with
its early education largely completed
is one Of the most valuable finished
products Of the farm.
The farm mare fills q most impor-
tant place in production.
Oats and bran in equal bulk, with
one-fourth corn added, make a good
ration for a mare giving milk.
Foal shows should be made q great
factor in encouraging the improvement
OF farm work horses.
AS long as inferior horses are so
high in price there is no inducement
for the penurious breeder to patronize
the grade stallion.
II breeder desires to maintain size
in his horses he must feed them liber.
ally.
Growing good horses to sell among
the better class of farmers is the SAT-
est branch OF the business for most
farmers to practice.
Grooming instills vigor into the
horse, and the removal Of dirt and the
stimulation of the skin go far toward
preventing harness sores.
Soundness should be the basis in
the selection of a draft stallion.
1t takes two or more crops OF colts
to establish a stallion in any locality.
The man who uses draft mares 10
perform his farm work cannot afford
to put them in tho hands of an incom-
petent hired man.
Many men have obtained profits
from moderate beginning In breed
ing draft horses.
The deceit and trickery practiced by
slick statesmen in selling draft stall
lions on the company plan has done
great injury to the cause of horse
breeding in many sections.
A horse with a good disposition,
built on good. clean legs. with ample
depth Of chest and middle, will keep

in good condition on less feed than
one Of the opposite type.
The average brood mare on the
farm will do better and raise better,
healthier colt II worked moderately
nearly up to the time of foaling than
II pampered and kept in idleness.
Start to educate the colt while he
is quite young. Give him little Of
his way, but a little more Of yours,
gradually bringing him to your way Of
thinking.
Sundays and holidays or days when
horses are standing in the stable, the
grain ration should be reduced one
half.
Gentle colts mean easily handled,
valuable horses.
Using the whip only puts more fear
into skittish horse.
A kicky horse is bother and a nui-
sance, besides being constant danger
to every member Of the farm family.
You may just depend upon it that
the colt will not possess any more
virility than his sire-and he may not
possess even that amount.
The quickest and most effective way
for you to learn the difference between
a scrub and a well-bred horse is to
offer one of each kind for sale on the
market.
II you do not speak to the horse
every time you pass behind his heels
you may wake up some morning with
a skinned head or q broken bone.
When a horse hears a racket behind
him, sometimes he does not wait to
see what 1t is, but whacks away at it
with both feet.

horses in poor condition through the
whole winter, then shape them up and
go right into the heavy field work next
spring, with them looking well and
ready to do maximum work.
Keep the horses in prime condition
during the entire winter. 1t will not
only mean a saving Of feed, but It
will insure the animals being ready to
go right to work when needed.
