Therefore, assuming them to be fair Iy accurate, the fact stands out that, in twenty five years or so German az riculture has so advanced that 1t is able to get TIT per cent. better crops, per hectare or acre, than it got from the same hectare or acre a quarter of a century ago. That is, the acre which formerly produced. we'll say, hun ;dred bushels now produces a hundred and seventy-seven and seven -tenths bushels This is the average gain, whether of rye or wheat or oats or barley or potatoes. the staple field crops of the empire.

MELROSE
(From the Beacon)

The Melrose Marble Works company
on Monday began operations in the
plant recently vacated by the Melrose
Granite Company, with Is men on the
local payroll and eight statesmen rep
resenting the company in the north
west. When announcement was made
of the Marble Works company's plans
some time ago it was stated that
about ten men would be employed to
begin with, but the start is far better
than was anticipated and Melrose has
every reason to anticipate constant
growth in this enterprise, already one
of the most important of the city's
resources.
Some unknown person or persons
broke into Aug. Sauer's meat market
Sunday evening, securing seven dol
lars in change, an overcoat and some
meat, leaving no clue to their identity.
Entry was made by breaking through
the back door of the building and then
smashing a window between the back
room and the shop proper. The money
was taken from the cash register; the
safe was not tempered with but it
contained no money at the time. The
coat belonged to one of Mr.. Sauer's
employees, Karl Kramm. The robbery
was evidently the work of amateurs,
who were pressed by cold, hunger and
laziness.

RUBBISH HEAPS

More frse originate in rubbish heaps
than from any other source. To per-
nit rubbish to remain in the building
not only invites a fire to visit Your
home or place of business, and render
your family temporarily homeless, or
cripple your business at time when
you can least afford it; but you are
also permitting the lives of your fam
lily or employees to be endangered, for
fire not only destroys quarter of a
billion dollars worth of property each
year but also claims over 1000 human
lives each year. The home is built to
protect our loved ones, and we want to
do everything to insure absolute pro-
lection to those who live in it.
That rubbish heap in the attic, store
room or basement is a menace to your
household, because there is always a
possibility of fire starting in it, and
the worst of it is it may start when
least expected.
Fire may rout you and your family
out any night-your wife, children

FARM FERTILIZERS VALUABL

Il ANN AAALAIAsC JAIN ABLY
Barnyard manure has value on the
farm outside from that as fertilizer.
1t improves the physical conditions of
the soil and makes it easier to handle.
Its decay produces heat and it's pres
ence aids chemical and bacterial pro-
cesses. Moreover, it absorbs and holds
large amount of water and helps to
areate the soil. The benefits of these
indirect aids to plant growth are in
some cases worth as much as the fer
tilizing power of the manure.
These are observations made by F.
L. Kennard, agronomist in the North
west Experiment Station at Crookston
in response to numerous questions re-
ceived from farmers.
When it is added that barnyard
manure is worth perhaps $3.50 a ton,
and that each farm animal produces
from five to seven tons per 1000 lbs.
of live weight each year, it is easy to
see that as fertilizer the material
should not be wasted.
The best practice is to haul the stuff
directly from the barn to the fields. If
this is done there is little loss through
fermentation or teaching.
