OF the Russian people are either IN
different to the Soviet government or
are actively hostile to it. We can also
anticipate that the recent allied VIC
tories in France will have a very great
influence with Messrs. Lsnine and
Trotzky. They know the dangerous
ground upon which they walk. They
knoE that the mass OF the Russian
peonle hate Germany with hate that

know that nothing loss than complete
military ascendancy for Germany will
reconcile Russia to German dominance.

Prices Of Monkeys Soaring.

Who would think that the European
war would have anything to do with
the price Of monkeysf Well, II does.
and a great deal, too, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The price of monkeys
has gone up with food, paper, shoes,
etc, to the despair OF the pathologist
and to the sorrow OF the ~hurdy.gurdy
man. The causes for the sudden cor
ner I'm monkeys is the closing Of the
worlds principal wild animal market
ut Hamburg, Germany, and the lack OF
shipping facilities. Not long ago the
Psychologists of the national public
health service at Washington wanted
u dozen South American monkeys for
experimental purposes. They appealed
co every wild animal dealer in this
country, to the zoos, and to the sailors
In port, and finally purchased six at
s16 each.

FRESH AND ROTTED MANURE

There seems to be n difference OF
fresh and well rottcd manure. Almost
all authors on gardening recommend
the use OF "well-rottcd" anure for all
plants.
That well rotted manure Is the
safest and best for immediate results
In general farm and garden practice,
Is admitted.
But large quantities Of this fer
tillzer Is difficult TO secure ut all times.
Besides, manure which has rOttcd In
heaps, unless properly handled, has
lost II large share Of It's best fortiliz-
ing properties. The greatest objoc-
ton TO the use of fresh manure for
immediate plant GROWTH Is that It
burns the crop unless the growing sea-
son Is very wet.
This, too. II will be admitted, Is the
usual case: yet the bad effects from
the use of fresh manure arise from i'm
proper methods ~ applying the ma
nurc and the working of the soil after
the application.
Fresh manure may or may not heat

Ing to the way X IL worked into the
soil. Fresh manure, Of course, under.
goes decomposition and produces heat
In the process: and the more Of II
there Is In n place, the more heat
there will be given on.
Then to overcome The bad effects
Of the heat to the growing plants fresh
manure should be well scattered and
we'll mixed with the soil so that no
large amoun will remain in any one
place.
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1918-01-31

The soil should be deeply narrowed
and diskcd, or both, so that all the
manure Is thoroughly Incorporated

This thorough working or mixing OF
the soil will also prove beneficial in
many other ways. as every farmer and
