WHAT MANURE IS WORTH

The real value of farm manure is hard to estimate. The chemists val ue, based upon the plant food the manure contains, ranges usually from s2 to $4 a ton. This does not in clude the value of the manure as humus, which is considerable. From a farmers standpoint a ton of ma nure is worth great deal more than the chemists estimate. because experience teaches that land where manure has been spread yields a great deal more than land of the same kind without any manure. The principal value of manure, says Farm and Ranch. is its beneficial effect upon the texture of the soil. When incorporated with soil manure greatly improves the texture, loosen ing tight. heavy soil and binding together a light. sandy soil. making the soil warmer, more friable and more retentive of moisture.
 As means of increasing the water holding capacity of soil ma nure is very valuable King found after three years experience that manured fallow ground contained Is tons more water per acre in the first foot of soil than similar land unmanured, while the total gain in the first three feet of soil on ac- count of the manure was 34 tons.
 There is one other benefit that should not be omitted Manure car ries countless numbers of bacteria that are of benefit to the soil. When the vegetable matter in the manure decays in the soil certain acids and ferments are produced which have decided influence upon soil fertility. That is. liberal application of ma nure sets in motion a series of activ- ities that render more plant food

uD|Esl LOOK YOUNG,
 DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Use the 0ld-time Sage Tea and Sulphur and Nobody
 will Know.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes advancing age. We all know the advan- tages of a youthful appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its ap- pearance hundred-fold.
 Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from auy drug store a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which is merely the old-time recipe inn proved by the addition of other ingredi- ents. Thousands of folks recommend this ready -to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully, besides no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it. drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two. it's natural color is restored and 1t becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or pre- yention of disease.

TOO MANY LAWSUITS

It is the second great command ment. love for ones neighb0r, love for all mankind that 1 wish now especially to emphasize, and to urge our preachers and religious leaders to emphasize. Ke have too many church members protesting re- ligion of love who do not speak to some neighbor; who instead of for giving some ancient injury lie awake nights planning to get even; who in stead of putting charitable con struction upon the words and deeds of neighbOrs, live in a perpetual state of suspicion and distrust: or who belong to the same set or fac tion in a community which cherishes nothing but hate or bitterness for some other faction
 Especially, it seems to me, are such conditions likely to prevail in country people are worse at heart than city people, but simply be- cause the farmer, living to himself, does not mingle with his fellows as much as the city man, and it is always easy to mistrust the man you don't know. It was wise say ing of a great man, Know one another and you will love one an other" I remarked the other day that in proportion to property in terests involved, l believe there are ten times as many law suits among farmers as among city business men.
 No matter what your object may ber-whether it is to develop indi- viduals of noble, generous character; or bring about greater business CO operation among rural people, or bring about more satisfying social and community life-in any case, there is nothing more important for us than to get fur people to pnt life's emphasis on love rather than hate. on trust rather than suspicion.

AXE lIGH MING RODS ANY GOOD
 A reader writes us about the methods a lightning rod salesman is using to make sales in his neigh borhood. and ends his letter by say ing: Now if you will tell the farmer what good there is in rods. and where he can get them, and about what they are worth per foot, you will confer favor on many.r
 Lightning rod agents have been given a bad reputation, not that lightning rods are themselves not worth while. but because agents charge too much for them. Lightn- ing rods are really great protec- tion to farm buildings. and if bought conservatively are worth many times their cost We hope before many weeks to publish a somewhat com prehensive- discussion of the subject.
