Preparing the Soil.

The preparation of the garden soil
is of more importance than most
gardeners realize. The vegetables
must have deep, mellow, friable
soil to hold moisture and promote
the life and development of soil or
ganisms so important to fertile
soil.
The coil should be broken ea-ly
and vegetation incorporated in time
for it to decay. A large pes cent
of vegetation matter usually in its
final state of decomposition called
humus is necessary. 1t may then be
necessary to rebreak, harrow and
cross-harrow in order that deep
mulch may be had.
Barnyard manure is highly desir-
able where the soil is rather thin or
close. The manure supplies both
humus and plant food and for that
reason is economical. 1t is waste
product at the barn, but valuable to
the gardener.

BLAMES POLICEMAN
FOR DEATH OF BABY
n. c. KITCHELL SAYS WIFE WAS
HANDLED ROUGHLY DURING
RESTAURANT RAID.

st. Louis, Mo.-Coroner Padberg
yesterday ordered and inquest into
the death last Monday of a baby born
the preceding Saturday to Mrs. Daisy
Kitchell, "a years old, 1507A Tower
Grove avenue, after her husband,
Mort c. Kitchell, told the coroner
the baby died as the result of rough
handling his wife received at the
hands of patrolmen who raided his
restaurant expecting to find him SELL
ing liquor on Sunday.
According to Kitchell, Sergt. whal-
en-, Special officers Kane and Hasty
and four uniformed patrolmen, all
of the Magnolia Avenue Police Sta
ton, raided his establishment on
Sunday, January 23. After placing
Kitchell under arrest at his home.
across the street from the restaurant,
the patrolmen entered the store
where his wife and several employees
were preparing supper, Kitchell said.
Kitchell said he would testify that
his wife was pushed violently against
a grand piano by Special Officer Kane,
who, he said, slammed door against
her as she attempted to enter rear
room.
A short time later Mrs. Kitchell
collapsed, her husband said, and DR..
NJ. A. Button, also of 1907 Tower
Grove avenue was called. The baby
was born week later and sent to
the City Hospital, to be placed in
an incubator with hopes of saving its
life. 1t died sixteen hours later.
DR.. Button last night told report
ers that he had found black and blue
bruises on both sides of Mrs. Kitch-
ellis body, and that the premature
birth of the baby probably was caus-
ed by the injury.
Special officer Kane last night de-
MED slamming the door. He said
Mrs. Kitchell joked about the raid
to him as he was leaving and later
with the driver Of the police patrol,
who came back to take the second
load Of men found in the basement
of the restaurant to the police sta
ton.
Kane said the raid was made at
the instigation of John Polsam, 1441
Kentucky avenue. and Edward
Schwartz, 1907 South Boyle avenue,
who complained to the police that
they had lost money in the basement.
Polsam later told the police that
Kitchell had returned his money and
pocket-knife to him.

Interesting Paragraphs.

Over $4,000 students are taking
courses in agriculture at the various
agricultural colleges in the United
States.
Montana wool growers made ST.
OO0, 900 more from their 1915 wool
clip than from that of 1914, though
the 1915 crop was 100000 pounds
less than in 1914.
There is timber enough left in the
United States to last for 444 years,
according to H. s. Sackett, former
chief of wood utility in the govern
ment forestry service.
Alligator eggs are eaten by the ma
tives on the west coast Of Africa. In
taste they resemble the egg of the
domestic hen, but are larger and
slightly stronger in their flavor.
Preparedness for the orchardist
and the gardener consist in having
a spraying outfit with poisons and
other materials ready to attack at
the first provocation. This will main
tain the crop and be means of hon
orable peace.

A writer in Inland Farming re-
lates some strange facts about the
horse and the way he sleeps. Even
when not confined in stalls horses
seldom lie down for more than an
hour each night-that period being
usually about midnight. The horse
seems to prefer to rest standing up;
stablemen have reported that some
horses in their care have never been
seen to sleep lying down. One ami
NAL had never been seen to lie down
for more than is years. 1t is said
that the horse sleeps with one eye
open," and is constantly on guard.
His ears are continually turning and
twisting so as to catch the slightest
noise; not even an Indian in moe
casins can approach sleeping horse
undetected.

The Poultry Mite.

Everyone knows the gray poultry
mite which takes on distinct red
dish cast after the meal of blood. 1t
is commonest in dark, damp, dirty
poultry houses where it thrives upon
filth, and the logical remedies rec
commended by T. j. Talbert, OF the
Missouri College of Agriculture, are
sunshine, ventilation and cleanli-
ness. The henhouse should be so
constructed that 1t can easily be kept
clean and that there will be no
cracks or crevices in the roosts or
elsewhere to furnish hiding places
for the mite during the daytime
when they are not on the fowls. They
feed at night, crawling from fowl to

No Use to Treat Seed Corn for Smut.
There is no treatment of seed
corn for smut. The spores which
cause smut in corn live over from
one year until the next in manure,
soil, refuse, etc. In the summer, un-
der favorable conditions, these spores
which may have wintered in the soil
or may have been hauled to the field
in the manure, find Judgment on
the tender parts of the corn plant,
usually by the action of wind, and
start to grow.
The source of the spore is not the
seed corn, therefore treatment will
do no good. The only method of
eradication is to cut off the smutty
stalks and burn them. This, of course
is impractical.-O. M. Allyn, farm
crops division, University of Illinois.

fowl, so that one infested bird may
introduce them into the entire
lock.
Talbert says that sunshine is one
of the best disinfectants as well as
a great foe to the mite, and 1t should
be given access to just as much of
the hen-house as possible. Regular
spraying with commercial Kerosene
emulsions or strong tobacco solu-
lions will help greatly.
One application is not enough and
the spray should be repeated in
about a week in order to kill the
young which may have developed
from the eggs laid about the roosts
or in the filth before the first spray
ing. 1t should be applied with suf-
ficient force to penetrate all the
cracks and crevices.
There are good preparations ad-
vertised for spraying houses, runs,
nests, coops etc., to destroy these
troublesome insects. These advertis-
ed preparations are economical as a
rule. easily prepared and suitable
for solution and spraying.
The Missouri College of Agricul-
ture makes the following recommen-
dations for spray pumps suitable for
nouItrv houses.
Spray pumps of many different
sizes and types will give good re-
suits. Bucket pumps, knapsack
sprayers and automatic sprayers will
be useful in the garden and orchard
as we'll as in the hen-house, al
though a longer hose or extension
rod will be needed in the orchard.
A barrel pump or power sprayer may
be used with good results IL it is al
ready ON hand, but is more expensive
than the average farm needs for hen
house work.

Value of Liquid Manure.

In four years field fertilizer eX-
periments with liquid manure on
quarter-acre plats of hay land, con-
Quoted by an experiment station in
Scotland, the liquid manure was APP
piled at different times during the
winter, the standard dressing being
1000 gallons per acre applied in two
portions of 1000 gallons each with
an interval of few days between.
1t was found that marked increase
of hay crop was obtained from the
application of liquid manure in win
ter or early spring. Treatment with
liquid manure had no effect on
clover, but was on the contrary dis
tinctly beneficial in several of the
experiments. The after effect of treat
ment with liquid manure was also
good. No correspondingly greater
return was obtained when 1000 gal
Ions per acre were applied. In sew
eral cases the crop was too heavy
and was inclined to lodge. 1t is
concluded that about 1000 gallons
of liquid manure per acre of hay
land is sufficient and that the profit
realized by such an application is
sufficient to justify the trouble and
expense of applying the liquid ma
nure instead of letting it go to
waste.

GOOD Roods Banish Isolation.

Good Roads Danish Isolation.
The public highway is the way to
the market and from the market. 1t
is essential that such roads be built
as will make the market easily ac-
cessible at the particular time that
prices are highest. II is worth while
to construct and maintain good high
ways for this purpose alone. This is
sufficient reason, perhaps, for tax
ing the people for the support of an
adequate system of roads.
But there is another view of the
usefulness of roads growing more
important every day. The social value
of the highway is increasing as au-
tomobiles multiply. What seemed
at one. time necessary for business
is now a great convenience, as well,
and an added source of pleasure.
The isolation of farm life, the sepa-
ration of community life, begins to
vanish as good roads materialize.
The further Improvement of the
school in many parts OF Illinois
awaits better roads. The churches
will be greatly benefited by improv-
ed highways. Rural social life will
be lifted and the neighborhoods
strengthened by this movement for
improved highways. AS in days of
old, all roads lead to Rome, now all
roads lead to a richer community
lift. The "Highwaymen" are the real
builders of communities.

Fertilizer Situation.

i serious situation faces the
formers in their spring planting. In
no other recent period has the neces-
sity Of going back to old-time meth
DDS, when the farm provided its own
fertilizer, been SO urgent.
In 1913 the value of commercial
fertilizers used in the United States
was about $125,2S0, 900. This in
cluded the potash salts, more than
$4,000, 900, practically all from
Germany; nearly 100000 of am
monium sulphate from England,
which, as we'll as the potash, has
been shut off, and the nitrate of soda
from Chile, which is used as a con-
stituent of a complete fertilizer.
Though there is no doubt that
we can get some supplies of potash
from the giant kelp of California
and from the alunite deposits of
Utah, the outlook at present is not
very promising. The farmer will
have to learn to utilize all the sources
Of potash which have been recklessly
or ignorantly wasted. Tree trim
mings. brush cuttings, useless stumps
should be burned and the valuable
potash obtained be applied to the
crops most needing it, while leaves
and all material used as bedding for
cattle should be heaped up with Or
ganic material now wasted and fur
nish valuable compost. Fodder rails
ed on the farm leaves cottonseed
meal to be used as fertilizer. The
