Beautiful Feet In Hartford.

We have observed that a large ma.
jority Of the men who traverse our
residential streets In this time OF snow
and ice wear overshoes Of some kind
and that the large majority Of women
do not. Whether It Is woman suffrage
or plain recklessness that accounts for
this difference we cannot say. 1t can
not be because overshoes are unbe-
coming to woman. for those wearing
them look very trim.-Hartford Cour.

AROUSED TO FRENZY OF JOY
People Of Madrid Outdid American
Baseball Fans When Bull Fight With
Popular Matador Is Announced.

Madrid is the greatest bull fighting
city In the world. From her staid pro-
fessIonal ard intellectual classes down
to the smallest and grimiest urchin
vending newspapers on the streets.
every Madrilleno Is connoisseur OF
bulls and bull fighters. Anyone who
thinks that baseball can turn Its devo-
tees into temporary lunatics on the
day Of a worlds championship game
should see the people Of Madrid when
a famous matador Is billed to meet
some of the feroclous Miura bulls.
Each Of the well-known swordsmpn
has his group Of followers, enthusiasts
as they are called. any one OF
whom will stake his fortune or his
neck on the prowess Of his own par.
ticular master as compared to all other
slayers Of bulls. On the day Of "cOr-
rida" these enthusiasts flock about the
hotel, where their idols are staying. to
greet them hours before the combat
with cheers and adulntion. Early In
the afternoon the streets leading to
the plaza are chOked with surging cur
rents of humanity. all moving to
single goal.
The plaza itself Is great amphlthe-
ater with q sanded arena for stage.
The arena Is surrounded by q thick
brick wall, broken here and there by
tiny doors-one door to the pens.
whence the bulls are loosed, another
for the picadors, who ride In on de-
crepit old horses, third for the he
roes Of the day, the swordsmen. who
take the money and the glory Of the
occasion without running any greater
risk than their humble subordinates.
On q sunny day the arena is riot
Of color. Picadors are dressed In vel.
low, the "cape men," who turn the bull
wave gayly colored silk robes. the lit
tie darts which the banderlleros plant
In the neck of the bull are tipped with
flags, even the mules who haul out
the debris carry huge Spanish banners
in their headstalls. The matador Is
the final glory. flaming from head to
foot In a rich satin costume Of green
or blue, heavily embroidered with gold.
He carries q flaming red flag to en-
rage the bull, and before the day has

MANURE SHEDS PROVE PRACTICAL.

There are times when 1t is imprsc.
ticable to haul manure directly from
the stable to the field because of weather
conditions or rush of other work. In
such cases the covered yard or manure
pit becomes servioesble. 1t will pre-
vent in large measure all the loss men
toned above, and at the same time I,
has several added advantages.
Such shed permits the mixing ol
cattle manure with that from horses OF
sheep If the barns for both classes oi
live stock are close together. 1t also
allows the spreading of any reinforcing
material, such as acid phosphate or raw
phosphate rock, over the manure after
1t is carried from the stable.

Waste Of Manure.

Food conservation is the topic OF the
hour. A national campaign to educate
housewives TO economixe In planning
and serving meals and in utilizing al
foods possible Ia In progress. Food ID
ministrators are busy distributing In
formation regarding means of exercising
thrift In the home. Yet the losses The
farmer suffers from his feeding stable
are far greater than those his wife al'
lows from her kitchen. 1t Is biz
patriotic duty to save this potential
human food, to increase future crop pro-
duction, Just 40 much as the family ID
obligated to conserve all that has al
ready been produced.
There is the loss in feeding improper
feeds, too much or too little feed for
greatest economy in production, and in
feeding inferior animals. Still, such
losses are generally Insignificant CON-
pared with the waste in fertility from
open barnyards. A large percentage Of
the fertility value of feed can be re-
covered in the manure of the animal fed.
Where this manure Is not carefully pre-
served this store of fertility will be
wasted-carried of unseen In the small
streams that flow away from the open
yard after each heavy rain. The chemist
who Analyses such water Is not the
only one who knows Its value as plant
food the farmer himself has noticed
how much more luxurisntly crops grow
In field where perchance this stream
from the barnyard has spread out and
dropped most of its load continuously on
the same land.
MANURE NAY LOSE HALF ITS VALUE.
Let rs consider for q moment how
great this loss may become. Manure is
valuable for the nitrogen, phosphorus,
and potassium 1t carries, and especially
for the readily available form of these
constituents in the liquid part. If the
manure Is allowed to leach away In an
open barnyard for the winter there may
be carried away, by the rains and
through fire fanging, nearly half Its
fertility components.
More than $50 comparisons made
during 10 years at the Ohio Experiment
Station prove this claim. Manure is
hauled directly from the stable to the
field In January to be plowed under In
April in one case, and in the other the
same quantity Is tons per acre) il left in
an open yard for these three winter
months before it is spread on the land.
This exposure has resulted in lower
yields amounting to bushels Of corn,
/ bushel of wheat, and 500 pounds of
hay per acre. This means loss of
more than dollar and half per ton OF
manure at current market prices for
these feeds. The loss would naturally
be greater during longer period of ex-
posure.
