WERE MASTERS OF WORLD
Roman Leeions subjugated Before AS
similating the Nations Their Vic
torious Armies Had Overrun.

The military splendor of Rome has
fascinated young and old for centu-
ries. Wherever one touches later
ancient civilization there are found
the evidences of the presence of the
Roman legions. They are in Gaul,
in England, in Germany. They are
in every country around the Mediter-
ranean basin. They are in the East,
in the heart of Asia. The courier
system for the dispatch of letters and
messages was in their hands. The
legions were the vanguard to make
the newly acquired territories habi-
table and productive. Their station
airy camps became the trading CEN
tiers of the communication which
the adventurous merchants pushed
onward to spread with their wares
Roman thoughts and Roman habits
and respect for the Roman sway.
When the veterans completed their
years of service they were colonized
and continued in their retirement to
carry on the labors which formed the
greater portion Of their active serv-
ice.
The Roman army was human. Its
soldiers were men, some good, some
bad, some humorous, some serious,
some lovable, some despicable, but all
of them eminently human. The pa
pyrus excavations of the past hun
dred years have given us glimpse
into the heart and soul of the Roman
Standardization Herald.

Elkton, Ky, Sept. 2S.-"There's
nothing to it but Wilson," was the
statement made here by John Thomp-
son, formerly editor of Parsons
Magazine, of New York, and one of
the best known newspaper men of
that city, who is here at the bedside
Of his father, T. f. Thompson, who
is quite i'll.
Mr.. Thompson, himself an indie
pendent voter, declared that he be-
lieves the Empire State is safe for the
Democratic nominee by $4,000 plu-
rality. He enjoys a wide acquaint-
ance with political writer's of the me-
tropo.iS, and says that their investi-
cations so far as he has been able 10
ascertain, have shown a tendency
throughout the nation to stand by the
President. He predicts change in
the 2-to-l Hughes odds in New York
before many days, and says the odds
as published in no sense reflect the
opinion of people capable of sizing up
a political situation.

SPOUT STEAM, NOT WATER
General Idea Concerning Action of
Whales May Easily Be Proved
to Be Erroneous.

Since whale breathes air, when it
is below the surface the breath must
be held, for if the water should be
taken into the lungs the animal
would drown. Thus as soon as a
cetacean comes to the surface its
breath is expelled and a fresh sup
ply inhaled before it again goes
down.
The breath which has been held in
the lungs for a considerable time un-
der pressure is highly heated, and
as it is forcibly expelled into the
colder outer air, it condenses, form
ing a column of steam. A similar
effect may be produced by any per-
son if on frosty morning the breath
is suddenly blown from the mouth.
That whales spout out of the blow
holes water which has been taken in
through the mouth is probably more
widely believed than any other pop
ular misconception. AS a matter Of
fact such a performance would be
impossible because whales nostrils
do not open into the back Of the
mouth, as do those of a man, and the
animal is not able to breathe
through its mouth" as can ordinary
land mammals.-Roy Chapman An
drews, in New York Independent.

the Sherman law and yet the dissolu-
ton of this corporation is not ordered.
1t continues to exist in spite of the
law to the contrary.
Of necessity, this decision has
aroused wide attention throughout the
industrial world and very likely the
matter will be brought to the attention
of Congress. Justice Rose observes
that the corporation in question has
been too carefully organized and per-
forms too important functions to be
rudely disturbed. Concerns like this
are important parts of the industrial
and commercial fabric of the country
and to put them out of existence would
be a rude shock to the whole indus
trial situation.
If the Sherman law was repealed
there would be an end of the ridicul-
Gus bounding of large business inter-
ests by the federal Department Of
Justice. What has been done in the
case of the railroads. and what, in
spite of the glaring defects of the law
has been better than the old conditions
which were superseded, ought to be
done with respect to the great indus
tries. There should be federal regula-
ton of industrial activities and the
proceedings of the large corporations
should be supervised by central body
located in Washington, thus keeping
these industrial units within legitimate
limits. Just as there are many things
which railroad companies ought not to
be permitted to do, so there are
IL .,I,,e+~,aJ c
should be forbidden to- undertake. To
control these corporations and keep
them within bounds are distinctly the
function of federal board similar in
its powers and duties to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. In the light
of experience, and by the results of
what was at first an experiment, we
have discovered the kind of super
vision which should be established.
Railroad regulation is not railroad
operation; and, similarly, the super
vision of industrial combinations by
federal authority would not be the
operation of the great industries by
the government.
When the Sherman law was first
enacted the nature of the trust and the
causes which had brought it into ex-
istence were not understood; and like
wise it was not clearly perceived that
to provide in general terms that GER
tain things should be made violations
of law was no easy matter. When an
endless variety of circumstances is to
be brought into the scope of single
statute it is we'll nigh impossible to
contemplate in advance every con-
tingency. And so legal provision
which was seemingly innocent in itself
would in many cases work serious in
justice.

were contained in the feeds eaten. The
exact percentages of these substances
voided by livestock varies within wide
limits, depending largely upon the age,
and kind of animal, amount of feed
eaten, work which the animal is doing,
and various other factors. A young
and growing animal retains a large
part of these elements in the growing
tissues of the body. A dairy COW uses
a portion of them in the production
of milk. A Woodworking horse or a
mature fattening animal voids from 90
to 100 per cent of them. 1t is then
evident that large percentage of the
elements of plant food removed from
the soil by growing crops remains on
the farm where these crops are fed,
and that the manurial value of feeds
is in direct proportion of their COM
position.
The following table shows the
amount of fertilizing constituents es-
timated to be in 1000 pounds of each
of few common feeds:

Aside from the fertilizing clements

soils, When properly applied, manure

VALUE OF MANURE.
Enormous Loss of Fertilizing Mater.
ials May be Prevented Through
Careful Handling.

The high prices of potash and acid
phosphote at this time are causing
much concern among farmers who de-
pend upon commercial fertilizers to
supply these constituents for the sue
cessful production of their crops.
If the farmers of this country had
always appreciated the true value of
farm manure, and used it on their land
the present situation would be much
less acute. The animal loss of fer
tilizing materials is enormous in this
country through careless handling OF
manure. This loss can be easily pre-
vented in a large measure by proper
methods of handling. While many
farmers are getting the most from the
manure produced on their farms, yet
many could well exemplify the Euro
pean farmer in this matter, who saves
carefully and utilizes every pound OF
manure available.
The farmer who feeds as much live
stock as possible may figure that he is
receiving a double remuneration from
of feeds through live stock; and, sec
ond. from the fertilizing substances
which are left in the manure. Prac-
| llSdllS al VI tlic nitrogen, phosphorus,
and potash which is in the feeds is
recovered in the manure from live
stock. All landowners. farmers, and
tillers of the soil should always be
keenly conscious of this fact, and en-
ploy methods of management accord
ingly.
1t is we'll known fact that the ami
NAL uses the nitrogen, phosphorus, po-
tassium. and other elements of the
feedstuffs to build up the body carry
on the work of the body, and to pro-
duce milk, work, WOOL etc. At the
same time we must remember that all
of these processes involve the build
ing up and breaking down of body
cells, and the component parts of
these broken-down cells are thrown off
as waste matter.
In this waste matter we have the
same elements as were in the feed
stuffs consumed. Except in cases of
growing animals, whose bodies are in
creasing in size, practically the same
amount of nitrogen. phosphorus. and
potassium are voided in the manure as

Value of manure re-
turned to the soil
from | ton of each
feed.

For example. let us say ton each
slower has been fed to fattening
steers. From the above table we find
the value of the manure from these
feeds to be $287l. This amount rep
resents approximately one-half the
value of the feeds consumed. No al
lowance has been made for bedding
material, which has some value as a
fertilizer, and if not too coarse, i'm
proves the physical condition of the
soil.
This serves to illustrate the point
that the farmer who has the requisite
number of live stock can use feed
stuffs grown upon his farm or pur-
chased to supply those elements of
plant food needed by the soil to main
tain its fertility; and by following
overcome to large extent the neces-
sity OF extensive purchase and appli-
cation of commercial fertilizers.
Let it be understood that he ma
nurial values indicated in the above ia
BILE are within the reach of every far
mer, but not without exercising care
IN handling the manure produced on
his farm.
The liquid portions of the manure
contain about three ourths of the
nitrogen and nearly all of the potash
wooded by the animal. Therefore, it
is highly important that as much of
the liquid manure be saved as posi-
Bile. This is usually accomplished by
using sufficient amount of bedding
to absorb it, or by allowing it to drain
into a pit or cistern of some sort.
Spreading manure while fresh is gen
orally most economical. Where this
is Impractical. it should be stored un-
der cover or in concrete pit, and al
ways kept well packed. "Fire-fang-
ing can be prevci ted by keeping it
quite moist. Those desiring further
information relative to the care and
use of manures should correspond
with the department or their State OK

Under practical methods of feeding
live stock all of the fertilzing sub
stances shown in the above table can
not be returned through manure to
the soil. Allowances must be made
for small waste in feeding opera
tons, the retention of some nitrogen,
PHOSPHORUS, and potassium in the an
lmals body, and reasonable amount
OF loss OF these elements from the
manure before it reaches the fields.
With such losses in view it is safe to
say that when the manure is carefully
handled Is per cent of the phosphor-
GUS and potassium and 20 per cent of
the nitrogen originally present in the
leeds can be returned to the soil.
From these figures and the above
table we can easily compute the actual
value of the manure from given
amount of feed. We will base our
values upon normal prices of fertiliz-
ing materials, as follows:
Cents.
Nitrogen, per pound ...................2O
Phosphoric acid, per pound .......... a
Potash, per pound ...........5
The following table shows the ac-
tual value of the fcrtilizing constitu-
ents returned to the soil in the manure
from ton each of several typical
feeds. The percentages of valuable
substances saved and the prices of
fertilizers as indicated above are used
to calculate the values in the table.
