SUNDAY LAWS.


Richmond, Virginia, is determined on a
stricter observance of the Sabbath. Last
Sunday was the first under the new Custer
law, and the day was treated with greater
respect than it has known for many years,
says the Richmond Virginian. There was
less selling" it adds, "and buying in Rich
mond than on any Sabbath day for many
years, certainly since an energetic crusade
waged here fifteen or twenty years age"
The Custer law is in brief a law that
makes the authorities enforce the laws.
Anybody who loafs on the job can be boot
ed out No new Sunday laws were enact
ed, but the old ones were enforced.
There were eight-two arrests Sunday,
covering practically every industry. The
only labor allowed on Sunday was chart
table work or work to supply a public
necessity.
Many soda water stands took out a
license as restaurants and were allowed to
keep open, selling sandwiches With cold
drinks
Arrests were made Sunday for selling
butter, cheese and tobacco, for delivering
milk; for operating cold storage, and ice
plants, and the express company; for work
ing in roundhouse; bakers and telegraph
and telephone operators were arrested
drivers and chauffeurs; a shoe cleaner, an
editor, and foreman in newspaper plant
a hotel man for employing band officers
of the companies were arrested for oper-
ating the gas plant and street car lines.
In the case of corporations, in which
there were number of people employed
an officer of the company was arrested and
one employee in each department. None
of the establishments were required to dis
continue operations after the warrants
were served. The result of the test cases
will be observed with interest
With too blue Sunday we are by no
means in sympathy. Blue Monday is
enough for any week. It is of course i'm
possible to sit down and draft what shall
or shall not be considered holy OF
healthy to do on Sunday A broad con.
struction of Christianity must decide that

at the Isis today. The scene of a
large part of the picture is laid in
Italy. Into these surroundings Miss
Collins, with her dark skin, black hair

r. Houston overmuch? We'll. the proof or the disproof of the validity of the praise Is to be found every where through the farming regions of the United States. Nobody knows bet ter than the present-day farmer what Mir. Houston has tried to do and has done. Every housewife on the farm whether praise has been wrongly placed or not. The records are writ ten over every field in the United States. Their pages easily are turned and the print is large.
 The secretary of agriculture is Q blunt man when bluntness is an es- sential to imparting lesson. He does not believe in modifying men with soft words when hard words are nee essary. Politicians do not get any great amount of satisfaction out of him when they are seeking their own ends. Here is a story in point that was written by Arthur w. Page.
 "A member of congress from the middle West asked the secretary to get rid of the department agent who was at work in his district. The sec retary refused. But that did not end the matter. A local attack hampered the work. The secretary investigated the situation, satisfied himself that the agent was not at fault, and then wrote to the member of congress that the work could not be done properly while this attack was going on, and that under the circumstances the de- partment would withdraw from the district altogether.
 He mailed a copy of this letter to the governor Of the state and to the rest of the congressional delegates from that state. They immediately notified him that 1t would not be nec- essary to withdraw the agent. The state legislature went even further, and passed unanimous resolution in- dorsing the agricultural departments work in the state"
 Now it must be understood that when some members of congress- can not do what they like in the way of influencing the heads of the govern ment departments they can resort, if they want to. to the petty revenge of opposing necessary appropriations for enlarging the good work of the depart ment whose secretary has incensed them Secretary Houston never seems to have worried much about the ap- propriation matter as it might be af. fected by the action of men who knew what they wanted and couldn't get it."
 The truth is that the motives of men usually are made plain when it comes to antagonizing good work. and most men are afraid to have their motives turned to the sun. The result is that courageous secretaries of departments in Washington usually have no trouble because they have dared to stand out against purely political importunities.
 David Franklin Houston was abso- lutely unknown in political circles when President Wilson called him to Washington. He was known, however. to educators and to scientific men gen. orally all over the United States.

INSURE R0TTING OF MANURE
To Keep Up the Fertility of the Dry Soils. More Humus-Producino
 Crops Must Be Grown.

Many years in the dry region of the West there is too little rainfall to in- sure thorough rotting of the manure This of course means that in the drier years the manured soils will dry out badly. causing the crops to fire from drought If the vegetable matter of the manure has been routed sufficient. ly to produce humus the soil is all the better able to resist the dry period
 To keep up the fertility and drought resisting quality of our dry soils it is necessary to grow crops which pro duce more humus than they consume The grasses, alfalfa. and sweet clover are such crops. What barnyard ma- nure is produced can be more profit ably used as a top dressing for these crops. This can be accompanied by a system of crop rotation. in which grasses, alfalfa or peas alternate. as pastures or meadows with the culti- yated crops.

tary Houston was big enough to have the secretary is volcano. a seemingly slumbering one. perhaps, but one which has within it the potentialities which one usually ascribes to Vesu- vius and the other peaks of fire. Men who know the secretary cannot under stand why he is called cold. The req son is simply that he is cold to the representation of things whose worth cannot be proved.
 There is another view Of Secretary Houston which is taken by some men who do not get next to him. or per haps better, into him. Generally speaking. a man who has no sense of humor is an impossible man Some persons think that the secretary of az riculture lacks appreciation of real hu- nor. While Mir. Houston is of Scotch descent, Sydney Smiths joke about the necessity of a surgical operation before you can get joke into Scotchman's skull has no application to the case of David F. Houston. He
 
 of telling them than perhaps any other man in the presidents cabinet. It is said of him, however, that, true to his temperament, he analyses a story to find out first whether it has humor's real ingredients before he will accept it as one worth retelling. In this way the secretary avoids the fate of the -hn .a1I people laugh only because they feel that they must do so in order to be complimentary to the raconteur.
 To Washington correspondent who has been watching things fairly close ly in the agricultural department, be- cause of an innate liking for things agricultural, the chief thing to stand out prominently since Mir. Houston laid hand on authority is the "tremen- dous amplifcation" of works which were in little more than suggestive form when one administration of the department was succeeded by another. Secretary Houston found lot of good things in tentative form in the agri- cultural department when he first en- tered ofice. He submitted the tenta- tive projects of his predecessor to his usual analysis and those which he found good he adopted as soon as the study of them was complete.
 The growth of the activities of the agricultural department Of the United States since MT. Houston has taken hold is of the kind usually called phe- nomenal. There is no attempt on the part of the secretary or any of his subordinates to take away from pre- ceding administrations the credit for initiative. What was found to be good has been accepted as good, and what is more, has been put into operation. Beyond this the department has initi- ated and carried into action many plans of its own which at one time were thought to be impossible of sue cess. It is in taking the thing said to be impossible. in testing t and in ei- ther proving or disproving its worth, that the present secretary excels.

COVER FOR THE STRAWBERRY
From Alternate Thawine and Freezing and Winter Drought.

Covering strawberry plants is al- ways essential in the semiarid climate Among the materials suitable for the purpose are straw. slough-g-ass. sor- ghum, alfalfa, leaves. corn stalks. ma. nure. etc. The most satisfactory GOV ering is clean straw and wheat or rye straw Is more satisfactory than oat straw. Be sure that it Is free from the seeds of troublet one weeds A fine and clean-kept berry bed is often made foul by having weed seed plant ed in 1t from the winter covering.
 Slough hay makes a very satisfac- tory covering when if may be had, but ss 1t is rather coarse and is apt to give trouble it is hardly as desirable as straw. In many localities where neither straw nor slough grass may be obtained in sufficient quantities, sorghum and corn are often used.
 Protection is ne sded for two pur. poses. The first is to prevent killing by excessive freezing. This Is not the principal one in this country, how. ever. as especial attention is needed to prevent loss or damage from the alternate freezing and thawing as well as the winter drought.

BEST SOILS FOR DRY FARMS
Sits and Sandy loams Do Not Blow Readily and They Absorb and Re
 tain Moisture We'll.

(By ALVIN KESER, Colorado Agricul-
 turai College. Fort Collins. Colo)
 The best soil for nonirrigated farm ing are silts and sandy loans, as they do not readily blow. they absorb rainfall readily and retain 1t well. They do not bake and crack easily. Heavier soils such as the clays and adobes are more difficult to work and require more effort to prepare and keep them fin shape for the retention and reception of moisture.
 No matter what the texture. the soil must be deep and uniform. A soil consisting of a sandy loam or silt sur face. over a permeable clay subsoil. Is good. but a layer of sand, gravel. magnesia, gypsum. hardpan or porous rock in the subsoil. closer than six feet to the surface. practically makes the field unfit for this purpose One foot depth of soil will rarely store more than one and one-half or two inches of rainfall or water. Six feet of soil will not store over twelve inches of rainfall.
 soil which will not store a con siderable number of inches of rain- fall will not stand long. dry spells. and these are expected to occur in nonirrigated regions.

MANY BENEFITS OF FLOWING
stirs Surface Of Soil Thoroughly and Puts it in Condition to Catch
 Any Rain That Comes.

From tests that have been made blowing has been better for storing moisture than disking. If heavy rains fall the increase in moisture con- tent of plowed land over disked land is greater. This Is to be expected, since the blowing stirs the surface of the soil more thoroughly. and puts it in better condition to catch any rain that comes. The blowing also will kill all weeds.
 The disk does not in all cases do this. It may be preferable-if . soil does not blow when it is fall plowed ito blow the stubble fields instead of disking them. This. however. is fre quently impracticable. due to the dry ness. of the soil. Listing the soil has been almost as good as blowing. We have not, however. made many tests to determine the effect of lis;ing.-Ne- braska Station.

cupful of milk. a little salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, sifted with four enough to make a mixture stiff enough to drop from the spoon. Flours differ so in thickening power that no exact measurement can be given. Drop them on the boiling stew with a teaspoon and they will cook in eight minutes. Leave them covered during the entire time so they will be puffy and light.
 Bread Dumplinss.-Just before put. ting the bread into the pans, take out about half loaf, add butter and make small biscuits. Let rise few minutes until about the size of walnut. Drop these in the hot broth and cook. care fully covered. twenty minutes. If larg- CT dumplings are made the time must be longer for. the cooking.
 Potato Dumpiinos.-To a pint Of milk add a beaten egg, little salt. cupful of mashed, hot seasoned potato, and four to make drop batter. Add two :caspoonfuls Of baking powder to the last of the flour. mixing well. Drop in small spoonfuls in chicken or beef broth and cook twenty minutes.
 Potato. DumpIings With sauee.- Cook and rice six medium sized pota- toes; add a pint of bread crumbs. Drowned in butter, also two well beat en eggs and salt enough to season. Form in twelve balls and steam twen- ty minutes; place on dish and pour over them a half cupful of melted but ter.
 Sauee.-Brown one teaspoonful of onion and a tablespoonful of four in two tablespoonfuls of butter. then add a cupful of cider vinegar and stir until it boils, season with salt to taste.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache. stuffy from a cold, foul tongue. nasty breath, acid stom. ach, lame back. can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning.
 We should drink. before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea. spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver. kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste. sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en- tire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations. gases. waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and i: is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of lime- stone phosphate will cost very little at your druggist or from the store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with biliousness, constipa. tion, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of in- ternal sanitation.
