SPREAD MANURE EVENLY
FOR BEST RESULTS

In applying manure to the soil it is
important to get an even distribution
over the field, says F, l.. Duley of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. This can be done most sat
isfactorily by means of manure
spreader. A spreader is not absolute
ly essential, however, and if care is
taken a fairly good job can be done
by hand. That is, if man cannot at
ford a spreader he should be all the
more diligent about applying manure.
The all-important thing is to get the
manure back onto the land with the
least possible loss. However, most
farmers will succeed in getting more
manure on the land when they have
spreader, since it can be kept where
it can be loaded as the manure is pro-
duced and unloaded whenever team
is available for a few minutes tins.
The labor and time saved will soon pay
for the spreader. The advantage in
using spreader is not cue so much
to the saving of labor as to the fact
that the manure is spread evenly and
in a thin layer so that it will go far
Their. Where manure is scarce it is
advisable to make it cover as much
land as possible. The spreadcr also
serves to tear the coarse material to
pieces so that it may be readily worked
into the soil.

USE STOVE BROODER
INSTEAD OF MOTHER HEN

Farm poultry keepers, always quick
to appreciate more efficient equip
ment, are rapidly discarding all other
brooding methods in favor of colony
stoves. Stove breeders afford the
easiest and cheapest method of brood
ing large flocks Of chicks. With the
coal and oil-heated colony hovers from
three hundred to five hundred chicks
can be handled in one flock with no
more labor than is required with a
few dozen chicks brooded with hens
or in lamp-heated breeders. The
chick mortality is remarkably low on
farms using colony stoves and little
difficulty is experienced in raising
early Matched chicks. The fuel cost
for brooders is low, and the stoves are
durable.
Brooder stoves Iare used in all kinds
of buildings but best results are Sc
cured with a specially designed colony
house. The brooder house should be
warm, dry, well lighted and ventilat-
ed, and be large enough to furnish
room for exercise. 1t should also be
movable so that the chicks may have
fresh ground for their range.
The Missouri Colony Brooder House
is designed to meet at least expense
all the requirements of a farm brood
er house. This house, as described by
L. 5. Townsley in Extension Circular
"a of the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture is built eight feet
wide and ten feet long, with a gable
roof. The cost Of house of this type
is not nrohibitive for most nouitrv

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES

The following declaration of prin-
ciples were adopted by the Missouri
School Superintendent Association,
which was held in Jefferson City, on
Feb. IA, 1920:
/. We re-afifrm our belief in the
principle of a full assessment of all
property of the State for taxation
purposes as expressed by the Missou-
ri State Teachers Association.
2. To meet the new conditions any
assessment should increase the i914-15
assessment 100 per cent.
3. We believe that the assessment
made by county assessors is the min
imum value for the property of the
county.
A. We endorse the proposition to
vote a building and repair fund for
purposes designated by law.
5. We recommend that all districts
vote the constitutional limit for the
increase of school efficiency.
6. All high schools should charge
nonresident pupils sufficient tuition
to cover the cost Of instruction.
7. We recommend that the EXecu-
tive Committee of the State Teachers
Association employ tax attorney to
advise and cooperate with communi-
ty Teachers Association with efforts
to uncover hidden wealth.
The following resolutions were also
adopted at the same meeting:
l. We advise that all friends of
education exert every influence posi-

SAFETY IN BUYING
REGISTERED FERTILIZERS

THE purchase and use of fertilizers
IN Missouri is on better basis than
ever before" says F. B. Mumford,
dean of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. "The fertil-
izers in general are more uniformly
true to the guaranteed chemical COM
position submitted by the manufac-
turcrs at the time of registration. Be-
cause of the generally better quality
OF fertilizers sold, and because of the
more intelligent use, the application
OF fertilizers is more profitable"
All commercial fertilizers offered
for sale in Missouri must be registered
with the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Columbia. The chemist pro
cures samples of these fertilizers af-
ter they have entered the channels of
trade and analyses them to determine
whether they are in keeping with the
guarantee. The results of all such
analyses are published in bulletin
form at the end of the year, along
with registrations for the following
year, and other information. Bulletin
l6S, carrying this information is now
ready for mailing. Dean Mumford
suggests that farmers use this report
as a guide from whom to buy this
year.. The farmers will protect their
own interests by buying the products
of manufacturers whose goods, on
analysis, show uniformly that they
contain as minimum the plant food
indicated by the guarantee.
In order to insure enforcement of the
State law and to protect himself, the
farmer should never buy a efrtilizer
which does not have printed on the
sack, or on label attached to the
sack. the guaranteed chemical COM
position of one contests, the name of
the manufacturer and a registration
tag signed by the Directory of the
Experiment Station. Fertilizer pack
ages which do not comply with these
requirements are sold in violation of
the law.
When a fertilizer package is ac-
companied by the name of the manu-
facturer,. the guaranteed chemical
composition and a registration tao
furnished by the Experiment Station
the farmer may feel reasonably GER
tam that the contents of the package
contain the fertilizing materials in
dlcated on the package.

WHEN HEALTH
BECOMES A DISEASE

The following editorial from the
Gary Times is printed by the Journal
of the American Medical Association
as lesson to health faddists:
There is great deal of truth in the
satirical story Of Jiggins, who had the
health habit. Jiggins lived 20 years
ago, and health was a disease with
him. The Dallas News says that Jig
gins took cold plunge every morn
ing. He said it opened his pores. At
ter it he took hot sponge. He said
it closed the pores. He got SO that he
could open and shut his pores at will.
Jiggins used to stand and breathe
at an open window for half an hour
before dressing. He said it expanded
his lungs. He might, of course, have
had it done in shoe shop, with a
boot stretcher; but, after ali. it cost
him nothing this way. And what is
half an hour?
After he got his vest on. Jigpins
used to hitch himself up like a doc
IN harness and do shadow exercises.
He did them forward, backward and
hindside up.
He could have got Job as a dog
anywhere. He spent all his time at
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-03-05

this kind of thing. In his spare time
at the office he used to lie on his
stomach on the flour and see if he
could lift himself up with his knuckles.
If he could, then he tried some other
way until he found one that he
couldn't do. Then he would spend
the rest of his lunch hour on his stom-
ach, perfectly happy.
In the evenings, in his room, he
used to lift iron bars, cannon balls,
heavy dumb bells and haul himself up
to the ceiling with his teeth.
He liked it.
He spent half the night singing
himself around his room. He said it
made his brain clear. When he got
his brain perfectly clear he went to
bed and slept. AS soon as he awoke
he began clearing it again.
Jiggins is dead. He was, of course,
a pioneer; but the fact that he dumb
belled himself to death at an early age
does not prevent whole generation Of
young men from following in his path.
They are ridden by the health mania
They make themselves a nuisance.
They get up at impossible hours.
They go out in silly little suits and
run marathon heats before breakfast
They chase around barefoot to get the
dew on their feet. They hunt for
ozone. They bother about pepsin.
They won't eat meat because too much
nitrogen. They won't eat fruit be-
cause it haGn't got any. They prefer
albumin and starch to huckleberry pie
and doughnuts. They won't drink wa
ter out of tap. They won't eat sar-
dimes out of tin. They won't use
oysters out of pail. They won't
drink milk out of glass. They are
afraid. Yes, sir, afraid. Cowards,
And after all their fuss, they pres
emily incur some simple. old-fashioned
illness and die like anybody else.

THRIFT STAMP WEEK

The Thrift Stamp is one of the
means our Government is using to
promote the habit of saving, especial
ly among the children, and people who
can only collect few pennies ahead.
Fortunate are those who can live
within their income. And still more
fortunate are those who are able to
set aside a few dollars for rainy
day-for the rainy days will come.
We are called an extravagant ma
ton, we have more Injuries than any
other nation on the globe. The farm
er, the mechanic, the banker, all wear
silk shirts and ride in automobiles
and their wives wear furs and dia-
monds.
We must curtail our living expenses
in some way. Our Government is
asking US to buy Thrift Stamps. Can
we not do without few things. Buy
Clamps, which is the safest investment
we can make; protect ourselves and
our nation and keep our country on
its feet through this reconstruction
period.

Almanac, the word, is of uncertain
derivation, but is believed to come
either from the Arabic al, the, and
men, months, or from the Teutonic al,
the, and monah, moon. The earliest
known almanac is dated 1900 B. C. and
was written on papyrus in the time
of Rameses the Great, of Egypt. Pur-
bach, an astronomer, published the
first printed almanac at Vienna in
last, called "Pro Pluribus Annis." In
1888, was published by Rabelais the
first almanac devoted solely to the
year in which issued.

One of the most peculiar diseases
known to man and recognized by
some leading medical men as aeluro-
phobia, the victims of which suffer
mental and physical torment when a
cat is near at hand. Even when cat
has not been visible, its presence has
been known to cause lockjaw, hysteri-
cal commissions, temporary blindness,
or nausea resembling seasickness.
Cats have an unexplainable affinity
for the persons so strangely affected
by them, jumping in their laps or fol-
lowing them at every opportunity.
