WHY THE MANURE SHOULD BE
 WE'LL CONTACTED.

Fermentation in manure is reduced to the minimum when it is closely packed and kept moist. Fermenta- tion of manure is caused by, bacteria. The whole secret of preventing hot fermentation may be summed up in these words: Keep the manure heap compact and moist." The heat ing of manure is caused by class of bacteria, which require free oxygen for the performance of their func- tions. Unless these bacteria are pro- vided with sufficient air, it is impos- sible or them to live, and conse- quently hot fermentation cannot oc- cur. In building the manure pile, therefore, great care should be taken to have the heap well compacted by tranping or other means Each daily addition to the pile, in order to exclude as much air as possible. If the pile is made in this way, the aerotic bacteria soon uses all the air

Prices of the logs, ranging, for the most depend chiefly upon the diameter part, from $40 to $50 thousand feet at the loading points. It is recom- mended that the logs be marketed in carload lots and shipped direct to manufacturers of veneer furniture and cabinet and firearms. In many cases cooperative sales projects prove profitable.

EODINS CASE GOES over
UNTIL DECEMBER TERM
Illness Of District Prosecutor Makes
1t Impossible to Try Murder
Case This Week.

The Eddins murder case was called
In Circuit Court this morning but be-
cause of the illness of Prosecutor B. S.
Grannis, he was unable to be here and
the case was continued until the De-
cember term of court. The case will
likely be set for the second day Of the
December term and will be the first
thing taken up when court is called on
the first Monday in December.
Although the prosecution was very
anxious to try this case this term and
get through with it there were many
things in the way of its trial. The wit
nesses in the case were not here today
but would have been called for to-
morrow had the Prosecutor been able
to enter the case.
The petit jury will report Thursday
morning but 1t is thought that there
will be nothing for them to do and the
jury will likely be dismissed finally
for the term within day or two.
