Enlightening an Obtuse Editor.

Where is that $125,OOO that is to
be spent on the roads in Mile Laos
county? Who has got it, and is it
drawing interest ?-Milaca Times.
County road bonds to the amount Of
$4,000 were voted last November.
The State took the entire issue at 4
per cent interest. OF the amount $685.
900 has already been received by the
county, and considerable Of the same
is being expended on roads in the
vicinity Of Milaca, and some good work
is being accomplished. The other $780,
900 of the bond issue will be paid over
to the county whenever it is needed;
in the meantime it draws no interest.
The Improvement Of the main road
from Princeton to Onamia was held
up on account Of a shortage of mail
route mileage at the north end-the
Federal authorities require that at
least 80 per cent of any road upon
which Federal aid is expended must be
covered by mail routes. AS stated in
another column the Federal road
authorities, thanks to State Highway
Commissioner Babcock and others
has approved of the lake road project
and the $4,000 of Federal aid will be
Forthcoming when the work is done
and done right. The $4,000 issued
by the state is drawing interest since
July LIST. The other $4,000 is not
drawing interest, and will not until the
same is paid over to the county, and il
will not be needed until next June OF
July. The Federal aid draws no in
terest.

Big Meeting at Cambridge.

Quite Large delegation was over
from Princeton, Sunday, at the patri-
otto meeting at Cambridge. It is esti-
mated that 5000 people were in at
tendance. The principal speakers were
Judge Giddings Of Anoka and Con-
gresham Schall. Both of them de-
livered fine talks. Several of those
from here who have never supported
Mr.. Schall were loud in their praises
and were enthusiastic over his master
full and logical speech, every word of
which breathed the spirit of true
Americanism. Congressman Schall is
an American from the ground up.

ON WAY TO DEFINING
Brief Description of Company G's
Trip Through the Land of
. Niggers and Mules. -
Some Pretty Towns En- Route to Camp
Cody and Also Stretches of
Trackless Waste.
On Board Troop Train.

On Board Troop Train.
This is the fourth day we have been
on the road and the men are in ex-
cellent spirits, and all appear to be en-
joying the trip immensely. There are
about 600 soldiers on board this train
and they are well-behaved lot, al
though they make the welkin ring with
cheers at each station. ~
Ever since we left Kansas City we
have been in the land of mules and
niggers. Both are useful animals.
We take a short hike each day, and
it certainly does one good after hours
of riding.
Beyond a. doubt the two prettiest
cities we have stopped at and de-
trained thus far were Wellington,
Kansas, and Amarillo, Texas: At the
first named place the men had As min
utes to themselves and they purchased
fruit, cigars, post cards, etc. The
four companies marched through the
main streets Of Amarillo, and there
was large crowd at the depot to wave
us a cordial southern farewell. A
number Of the boys exchanged adj
dresses with the girls, but it is doubt
full if any romances bud and blossom.
All along the line some of the boys
have thrown their name and address
at southern misses, and if they all
bring results some Of the boys will be
forced to engage the services> Of secre-
taries or their correspondence will lag.
AS yet we have seen no country that
equals good old Minnesota. We are
now crossing the Panhandle of Texas
and it must have been the eastern
part Of this section of the state that
Col. Ingersoll had in mind when he
said that if he owned hell and Texas
he would live in hell and turn Texas
over to a tenant. There were dreary
wastes of sand with buttes here and
there to relieve in part the monotony.
Even the river beds we're dry and al
most dusty.
While in Kansas we passed through
the oil district and saw hundreds and
hundreds of wells with their wooden
derricks over them. It was an in
teresting sight to most Of us.
We are now making good time and
have been ever since we transferred
to the Santa Fee tracks at Kansas
City. On the Rock Island tracks we
had some wearisome stops.
The cook car caught fire last night
but no serious damage resulted, al
( though hole was burned through the
floor. Corporal Roy Neumann, who
was on guard, discovered the blaze
and aroused Sergeants Cordiner, Oh
sen and Burrs. They put in 40 siren.
uous minutes and extinguished it.
In all our hikes Company G takes
the lead as Captain Johnson is the
senior commanding officer Of this sec.
ton. There is only one captain in the
entire regiment who is Captain John
sons senior.
We expect to reach Camp Cody to-
morrow night or Saturday morning
and for the next issue the Union will
get a general description of same.

Piling Manure Outside Where Rain

ments Is Expensive Practice.

week. If this plan cannot be followed,
and the manure allowed to accumu-
late on the floor where it will be
tramped down and kept compact and
moist enough to prevent fire fanglng
or rapid fermentation. Even in the
open shed a great deal Of the fertiliz-
ing value will be lost through leach
ing into the ground unless the floor is
of concrete or similar material. En-
tirely aside from the fact that it helps
to insure dry sleeping or feeding
place, the concrete floor helps to pay
for itself by the saving Of manure
which results.
/ Probably the least possible loss in
manurial value results if the animals
can be allowed to run upon the fields
which need the applications. If the
feed lot is located on hill side, the
value of the manure may be largely
lost through washing, but If 1t is To-
Gated on more level ground and moved
from time to time better results will be
obtained. Fields that are too far from
the barn or feeding headquarters can
hardly be handled in this way, and
long winters or continued bad weather
make it much more difficult, but if the
ground remains frozen so that it is
not injured by tramping and the
weather is not too severe, 1t is usually
possible to take advantage of this plan
and every effort should be made to
conserve the valuable soil fertility in
barnyard manure.

SCATTER MANURE NON

CBy NJ. F. MILLER, Missouri College OF

All available manure should be scat
tered evenly over the fields before
spring work is likely to begin. 1t is
always best to scatter it before it has
had time to lose any of it's plantfood
by lying in the rain or by fermenting,
and it is especially easy to do this in
the wintertime when the other work is
not so pressing. Even scattering is
much more important than most peo-
pie realize.
Greater returns per ton are secured
by light, evenly scattered applications
over q large area instead Of heavy IT.
regular scattering over smaller acre
age. For this reason, the spreader will
soon pay for itself on farms of lOO
acres or more simply by increasing the
returns per ton from the manure, to
say nothing of the saving in labor.
If possible, it is better to use the
spreader because (1) it saves work, (2)
1t makes it more likely the manure
will be saved and scattered promptly,
and (3) most important of all, 1t
makes possible the even scattering
which is so desirable if the full value
Of it's plant food is to be secured at
this time of the hight cost of COM
mercial fertilizer.
The loss is not very great if stock Is
fed in barns, sheds, or lots and the
manure hauled every day or even every

TIME FOR REPAIRING FENCES
Work Done During Winter Season Is
r, Just That Much Time Saved
Spring Is Rush Season.

Most farmers delay the repairing Of
fences until spring, but this is gener-
ally costly delay. Where parts are
rotted off the fence will sway back
and forth with the wind and weak
posts will be broken off which might
otherwise have lasted for year or two
longer. Then the fence may become
broken or stretched, to its injury. The
spring is always a rush season for ey-
cry farmer. Fence repairing done in
the winter is just that much time
saved. There will be plenty to do next
spring.
