Dodoino an Interview.

A young reporter once called to In.

reading. After formal greetings had
been exchanged the senator said:

The reporter out of politeness read

"Ah," said the senator, II see you

LABOR AND FERTILITY SAVED
Excellent Farm Practice to Haul Ma
nure Direct to Field Where II Is
to Be Utilized.

Farmers and scientists are pretty
well agreed that under ordinary farm
conditions the best place for manure
after it leaves the barn is spread on
the field where it is to be utilized.
More and more farmers are building
their barns now with q view to driving
through the barn, loading the manure
directly on to the wagon or spreader,
and taking 1t out to the field each day.
This is excellent farm practice. 1t
saves labor and soil fertility.

BIG TRUIH IN "LOAFER LAND"
Job Of Clearing Fields of Stumps Can
Be Done on Days When Other
Work ls Not Pressing.

Everybody hates a loafer around
who without giving any
thing in return. United States agri-
cultural department, in naming stump
land 'loafer land" has struck upon a
big truth that every farmer should
take into consideration.
Men who have made careful study
of the situation claim that every H.
inch stump on your place wastes 100
square feet of land. At first this state
ment may e somewhat surprising
and many farmers to feel that
by pasturing their stump land there is
no waste at all.
This is poor figuring, says California
Cultiyator. In most stump fields
there is an average OF 80 stumps to
the acre, some much larger than IL
inches. With an average Of $50 stumps
to the acre you are simply wasting
$4,000 square feet of land to each
acre, and as there are only $4,000
square feet to the acre, you are vast
ing one-third Of your land. Suppose
someone were to propose to you that
of each 30-acre pasture you shut off
ten acres for the pure Joy of seeing
it wasted. You would think him ut
terly absurd, but 1t Is no more absurd
than to continue letting your land
lie in a s%tumpage.
And after all It doesn't take long
to clear off the stumps. The job can
be done on the days when you can't
work at anything else and by own
ing "A good stump puller or being ready
with dynamite you will find a surpris.
ing lot of "loafer land converted to
usefulness for the years end.

Prefers Cows to Pics,

The parents Of Brooks, age eight,
keep a boarding house. By way of ap-
probation of three regular meals a
day and a roof that does not leak,
Brooks occasionally helps serve the
guests. He is a serious child, whose
sense Of humor is of the English va
riety, and the guests enjoy teasing him.
There isn't any milk for you to
drink. Mother says it's so scarce she
can only serve IL at breakfast" Brooks
informed the milk topper recently.
"Oh, that's all right" the topper re-
piled, genially. I'm fact, I'm thinking
Of buying a cow, anyway. There's only
M thing that bothers me"-and he
winked at his companion across the
table. SHOULD / bring the COW with
me to meals?"
The question was put SO seriously
that Brooks FASTENED to his mother
for advice.
In a few minutes he returned beam
ing.
Mother says Of course you must
bring 1t to meals. She says she really
prefers cows to pigs, and, anyway,
you shouldn't let 1t starve to death"

Relief Day Collection Results.
The results Of the collection for the
benefit Of the Jewish war sufferers in
Europe, due to the proclamation Of Presi
dent Wilson setting aside the 9th of Janu-
airy for that purpose, are perhaps not as
gratifying as they should be, when com
pared to the collections taken up in other
cities. However in view of the fact that
weekly contributions and collections are
made, which have Melted about six hun
dred dollars per month, or a total for
the last thirteen weeks Of about sixteen
hundred dollars, by the St. Paul War Re
lief Association, this not including the
work of the West St. Paul Relief Asso-
citation, which has been making substan-
tial collections weekly, the results of the
work Of the 9th of January, may be con-
sidered fairly successful. Complete fig
