Things Ugly Views From the Back Yard

| The soil should be deeply narrowed
and disked, or both, so that all the
manure is thoroughly incorporated
with the soil particles, leaving uni
form mixture. Then the decomposi-
ton will be slow, hence less amount
of heat evolved.
This thorough working or mixing of
the soil will also prove beneficial in
many other ways, as every farmer and
| gardener knows.
The soil, in good working condition,
for any crop of plants cannot well be
worked and mixed too much. This is
especially true when manure of any
kind is used.
Fresh manure is strong, and it's
strength consists of valuable COM
pounds for plant growth that have not
been dissipated through decomposi-
ton.
In the soil, these plant foods are abb
sorbed and held for plant growth; out
of the soil, most of them are carried
away by the air and wasted.
! The litter in ordinary stable manure
has absorbed much liquid product and
this litter well mixed with the soil
will give up these fertilizing COM
pounds, and the litter itself will en-
nance the chemical and physical con-
dition of the soil.
The improving of the physical con-
dition of the soil is of as much value
as adding chemical fertilizers. for soil
in good physical state gives up its
plant food readily and makes COM
Portable home for the roots and plants.
1t is held by many that fresh ma
nure, of any kind or quality in the soil
during a dry season is a detriment.
We have not found by repeated expert
ments that this is true
For several seasons we have ap-
Piled fresh manure to the surface soil
of the garden crops and corn till late
In the summer, working the manure
into the surface soil with each culti-
walton.
With corn the manure wagon was
driven down rows in the same manner
as the two-horse cultivator goes, and
the manure applied heavily between
rows.
The good effects were apparent aft
err each rain when the soluble portions
were carried into the soil and taken up
by the roots of the growing crop. -
When this manure was cultivated
into and with the surface soil it acted
as mulch, increasing the moisture
holding capacity of the soil; and DUR
ing very wet periods it retarded wash
ing, decomposed rapidly without detri-
mental heating results, and promoted
rapid plant growth.
We should use all the we'll rotted
manure that can be secured for the
garden, but the garden should not be
without manure when only fresh is
available. Of course when fresh ma
nure is used on the garden or truck
patch the cultivation should be done
with horse tools so that the soil may
be worked and mixed deeply to thor
oughly incorporate all fertilizers in
the soil.

Lingerie blouses will always be pre-

them are being shown this season.
Batiste and fine cotton wolfe are the
favorite fabrics for lingerie models,
and fine tucking, hemstitching, and
dainty lace edgings constitute the ia
vored trimmings.
Tailored blouses of mems wear silk

KAISER WILL NOT

BonGon, Dec. 11.-William Hohen- zollern will not make any statement as to his efforts to prevent the out break of war in 1914, according to the Amerongen correspondent of the Ex- press. The correspondent finally has succeeded in having submitted to Herr Eohenzollern questions as to his pa cific attitude before war and his steps to prevent hostilities. Count Ben tinck, the host of the former emperor, received the correspondent after the questions had been laid before Herr Hohenzollern and is reported to have said:
 "The Kaiser much appreciates your message and. thanks sou. He says: Tell him, if there is any possibility of my becoming a defendant, I prefer postponing anything I have to say un- til that time In addition, I do not desire in any way to compromise any member of the government as 1t ex- isted at the time of the outbreak of the war

PRECIPITATE PROHIBITION UNwIsE

THE dry" forces in the Senate persist in
prohibition for the period of the war by
a rider" to the agricultural appropriations
bill.
The latest proposal comes from Senator
Norris, whose amendment to the bill pro-
vides that no distilled spirits may be sold
for beverage purposes within the country
and that no food products may be used in
the manufacture of malt liquors and no
fruits in the production of wines, The
prohibition Of spirits and wines is to take
months leeway is given to beer.
In the first place, this issue should be
met fairly on it's merits in a separate bill,
| instead of by a rider. Discussion of it as
| a rider will delay the passage of a neces-
| sary appropriation bill.
In the second place, the enforcement of
| national prohibition at this time is of
| doubtful eXpedlency. The managers of
the great war industries have protested
| against experimenting when it is desirable
workers for complaint because of inter-
| ference with their habits.
| And anyway. the constitutional amend
ment is before the country and the State
| Legislatures which will meet next winter
| will have an opportunity to decide then
whether they want prohibition or not.

THE DAY THAT BINDS

tEATRIoTIsM is noble word but its

can be corrupted into an excuse for blind
and willful national selfishness. Love of
liberty defies frontiers The checkerboard
pArceling out of the globe embarrasses the
surge of that radiant passion. Though in
some senses one of the most individual
Istic of countries, France has long known
this truth With a gesture of ecstasy she
p1iehts anew her faith in it in declaring
the Fourth of July national legal holiday
wherever the Tricolor flies.
The compliment to America is but one
aspect of this act. In its deeper signifi-
canoe it effaces boundary lines, absorbs
even ocean barriers. We are thanked for
our aid in Frances hour of trial. but most
significant of all is the partnership in a
common joy. France has read the Decla-
ration of Independence in spirit which
IN our human pride we may have occa.
sionally overlooked. Not merely "All
Americans are created equal" but all
