But we can and might well save greater amount of manure in better condition than we do.
 I don't know in just what particular way you, personally, are wasting ma nure. But you do-don't pretend you do not. You know where your leak is you know what wastes from kitchen, etc, are being thrown away, rather than added to the compost heap: you have got some gumption. or you would n't have done so well as you have on your stubborn Connecticut soil.
 You CAN make and save and use more manure than you do. It's up 10 you, each one of you. personally, ,whe CT $ou'll do ft or continue to waste as we all have been wasting the most important factor in our farm produc- ton and profit. Says Secretary vroo- man:
 This great war has brought home to us Americans, as it has never been emphasized before the fact that we are the worIdN champion wastsrs. Without. making any comparisons. and subject to correction if f. can be shown that the facts are otherwise. I dare aver that our billion dollar ma nure waste is the worlds greates sin gle economic leak-the prize waste of the champion wastrels. With com mercial fertilizers scarce. and some Of them almost unobtainable. t would seem well worth while. in this june ture even without any reference 10 war conditions. to do everything with In our power to stem this tide of loss. especially in consideration of the fact that stable manure is the best form of fertilizer known. And when we consider further the possible effect of a billion dollars worth of manure upon world production at this time when the solemn duty of saving the world from famine devolves directly upon us,--well. the vital need for ma nure pits and feeding lots in this broad land of ours becomes pretty clearly apparent"

POP" GEERS WINS
 FIRST 1917 RACE
Veteran Pilots Judge Jones Home
 Ahead of Field.

Kalamazoo, Mich. Aug. 2-"Pop" Geers is at last numbered among the winning Grand Circuit drivers for 1917. He won his first victory this afternoon, piloting Judge Jones home ahead of a field of 2.11 trotters. Daga- stan, the Murphy entry, was favorite at 100 to 60, but in every heat Judge Jones had the edge and out-trotted all opponents in the stretch.
 The 210 pace, the chief event of the days programme, was captured by the favorite. Ben Ali. While the time was good. the winner was superior to all contenders and responded gamely when called on.
 Peter Chenault sold at s25 to s10 for the field in the 2:14 trot and the result was never in doubt.

How does anybody know how much manure is wasted?


 Well, nobody does really know" for sure There are dunn few things in this world of sin, sorrow and doubt which we any of us know" But my authority is Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture. He states that it has been demonstrated with very close approach to accuracy that each horse or mule produces during year an average of $27 worth of manure reckoning It's value by comparison with the cost of a similar amount of fertilizing content in commercial ma nures-each COW S2O worth; each hog SS worth; and so on.
 The census of 1910 recorded the number of animals on the farms of the country, and a simple arithmetical problem shows that the total value of the manure they produced was $2,461,- 000, ,000.
 Mir Vrooman adds: Recent investi- gations by the department indicate that at least half of this great wealth of fertilizing material is sheer waste. Tn some good general farming sections not more than Is per cent. of the ma nure produced is used"

suppose you know that lot of the old farms of Europe, farms which have been cropped for two thousand years or more, today yield double uor average of common farm crops, such as wheat and rye and potatoes and the like. Their natural fertility was exhausted long ago. Moreover, they never were a. rich as many of our soils. Yet, in the hands of ignorant peasants" as we toploftically presume to call them, these very farms, old. poor, worn out, are made to produce double and some times treble what we get from our richer, newer and every way better lands.
 The chief reason is that the Euro pean peasant found out, centuries ago, what the average American farmer hasn't yet discovered, that he had got to save the last ounce and drop of manure or starve to death.
 So he saves it.
 Saves it as scrapingly and IS miser ly IS mint saves gold dust waste.
 Saves it and conserves it and uses it with pernickety care and with canny shrewdness.

There are really only two ideally perfect ways to handle farm manures One is to draw them out daily or Semi-weekly or weekly. According 70 the amount made, and spread directly on the land Of course, such manure is fresh, not routed. and is therefore
 not so immediately available as plant food. But this admitted disa advantaEe Is more than made up by the vastly greater bulk obtained. Tn my own case. l have found that nine or ten loads. a s made and thrown upon the
 usual yard pile. only yield one load. when well routed, after a seasons de- lay. Furthermore. piled manure always teaches away somewhat. If in the yard pile. that leached out matter is lost forever 10 the fields. Whereas if spread at once on those fields the teaching takes place there and fs saved by the very soil you want to enrich
 The other way Is to throw all the manure maee into a concrete pit. where the leach will be saved and re- combinei with the routed manure Tn this case it can be drawn as wanted and whenever wanted.

He not only saves all the solid and liquid manure from his stock, he saves also all the waste from the house and the fields. Everything which will de- say and make humus is raked up and swept up and picked up and added to the compost heap.

 Did you ever see any attempt made in this country to save this sort of fertility? Not much; we superiorly leave it there, to dry up and blow about-and eventually to get, more or less of it, into our own mouths and noses with the dust churned up by passing wheels!
 Years and years ago, when was small boy, a family of foreigners moved into town. The man worked for a large farmer; the wife and half dozen daughters kept the house. the small garden and helped out" among the neighbors as opportunity offered. They were without horse or COW or even pig for some years. Their gar den was just the half acre of land around the house, neither better nod worse than that all about
 But. brought up to old world habits of economy in the saving of waste as well as other things, they made so much of the manure they could collect outside, or could sonserve at home, that in the course of two or three years they had turned that half acre into the greenest, richest, most productive bit in all this bloomin town. From the hills which rim the cup shaped valley in which it lay it could be seen shining like green emerald Lying on a gentle slope, it was easily drained in TOO wet seasons. while careful fertiliZa- ton and persistent cultivation made it lmmute to drouths.

Wentzel's office for attention, having

badly cut and the doctor was compelled
to sew it together. Mr.. Whaley is
cupola tender at the foundry of the
Mandt Wagon Co. and he was acct

There was happy lot of workmen
that drew their pay at the Stoughton
Wagon Works, for every one that had
been employed at the plant year or
more received in his pay envelope
check for $40 as Christmas gift from
the company, while every one that had
been with the company more than six
months, but less than year, received
$40. Each check was accompanied by
a little note in which President F. j.
Yea stated that the past year had been
a prosperous one for the plant, and
that the gift was token of the wagon
company's appreciation of the faithful
services rendered by their employees.
All in all, the wagon company thus dis
tributed about $4,000 among it's en-
ployes, the great majority of the work
men receiving $50 checks.

Ways of the Puffer Fish.

The little puffer fish has attracted
the attention of scientists from earliest
times on account of it's shrewd habit
of defending itself by imitation. The
moment it scents danger in the form
of larger fish searching for a dinner
it instantly distends itself with water
until it becomes almost spherical in
shape, so that no ordinary fish could
swallow 1t. Director Townsend of the
New York aquarium placed a few good
sized soup, or porgies, in a tank which
contained a dozen young buffers about
two inches in length, which the hun
CRY soup attacked at once. Instantly
the baby buffers inflated themselves
and became almost globular in form.
SO that the larger fish were unable to
do more than knock them about like
toy balloons too large to be swallowed
and on which they could get no hold.
no matter how hard they tried-Pop-

The Old Family Order.

My own childhood, as it stretches
out behind me, is punctured at regu.
lar intervals BY furiously busy Satur-
days and shining. immaculate Sun
days. The weekly bath was a fixed
institution-no one ever went to church
without it-but the problem of bath
ing eleven boisterous and occasionally
rebellious children and getting every
body finished and out of the way by
8 o'clock at night made Saturday an
interesting day for mother. Consider
ing the difficulties we had to contend
with, think we were a very indus
trious family about bathing. In the
first place, the reservoir on the kitchen
range had TO be filed thirteen separate
times. 1t was the unvarying rule that
each member of the family old enough
to carry a pail must bring water from
the ciStern in the woodshed for the
one next in turn. 1t was sad day
for the wretch who used all the water
and forgot to fill the reservoir. Then
the tub had to be emptied each time
by dipping out the water until it was
light enough to carry.-Atlantic.
