ment Of AgricuitureJ
No farming people have ever been
able economically TO maintain the fer
tility Of their soils without the use Of
live stock. Farming without the use
Of manures Is a waste of energy and
results in the exhaustion of soils. The
neglect in preserving and increasing
the quantity of farm manures has
been n great drain on the natural re-
sources Of the American farm. espe-
cially in the southern portion OF the
United States. The lack Of intelligent
care Of the waste products and the
convenient form of commercial fertil-
izers have Jointly been responsible for
the almost general neglect Of farm
manures.
Value Of Fertilizers.
Commercial fertilizers have played
and will continue TO play a great part
in the farm economy of the country.
Their full values however, cannot be
obtained by their exclusive use. A
much greater value can be had from
them when used wisely In connection
with manure and green crops. One Of
the principal reasons for the small
value sometimes realized from manure
Of any kind is that 1t has not been
properly handled and through expo
sure and neglect has lost large per-
centage Of its plant food. The chief
difference between bafhyard manure
and other vegetable matter IS that the
process of passing through the animal
has rendered the fertilizing elements
of the former more available for abb
soption in plant growth. The best
authorities tell us that from rs TO 30
per cent Of the fertilIzing value Of a

Otis impressed on the jurors that this was not rape charge, but was in fact a statutory charge, as the g1fl was under 16, the age of consent, and that the attempt to have carnal know ledge was equivalent to statutory rape.
 Alice Susan Collins, the girl who was assaulted, testified that on the night of Feb. 2S last, between and { o'clock. she left her home and went to her brothers for milk. On the way home she stopped at the postoft1ce. She did not see Dawley or Northup there. She started for home and Cor don Harrington caught up with her. They had gone but short distance when Dawley and Northup appeared Dawley grabbed her by the arm. liar rington had gone back to the postoftice for his umbrella.

Dawley said he would not let go of her as be wanted to take her over near the de- pot He pulled her past her home, into a lot.

She start ed for the road screaming and when within a short distance of the road Mr. Desrocher and his daughter Marie were there in wagon. Marie spoke to witness and there was mutual iden- tification. Elmer Northup was within hearing distance, but Hiram Dawley had run away. The witness then went home and told her mother what had occurred.
 On cross examination the Collins gir testified that when DaUley took hold of her she was carrying a quart can of milk and that she struck DAwley over the head with it when they reached the fence. She said that wher she first met Dawley and NorthuT that night she did not speak to them but that Gordon Harrington did. She said that previously Hiram Dawley had called at her home several times but not to see her. and that there never was any sociability between them. He had not been at the house for long time before this occurrence.
